Chapter Twenty-Three: Awake From Darkness
Brianna stared at Squid laying there in the hospital bed, with tears forming at her eyes. Squid smiled cheesily at her as she wiped away the tears that were forming in her green eyes. He blinked, confused, and looked at his surroundings. "Where am I?" he asked. Brianna had to regain her composure before she could answer Squid. Squid looked down at his bandaged arms and grew more confused than he was at the beginning.
Brianna took a breath to calm herself before she would answer him. "You were in a car wreck, Alan." Brianna told him, fighting back her straining tears. He tilted his head.
"I was?" he asked, he now had a look of frustration on his face.
"Yeah... I got so scared... Oh Alan... If I lost you... I dunno what I would do!" Brianna choked. Squid looked over at Brianna to see her crying. He moved his arm and gently wiped away her tears. Brianna slightly jumped out of pure shock.
Squid smiled, "Don't cry, Bri." Bri sniffed and nodded. Squid tangled his fingers in Brianna's hair and stared into her face. "Good," he whispered. Suddenly, Squid yawned and Brianna knew Squid needed to rest in order for him to get better.
"Alan... I'm gonna leave ya alone now ok? You need to sleep... I can tell yer still tired," Brianna said, smiling, though she really did not want to leave Squid alone again. Squid looked into her face and nodded. Brianna walked herself over to the door. "I'll be back later, ok?" Brianna assured. Squid smiled and nodded.
"See ya..." He said, yawning again. Brianna walked out of the hospital room and decided she would go home for the first time in about three days.
* Later: At Zig's House *
"I wonder if daddy's ok?" whispered Raja, glancing at Mitchell and Rose. Mitchell smiled at his sister.
"Dad's gonna be fine. Don't worry, Raj. Everything'll be ok, just like mom said," Michell explained. Raja sighed and fought the tears in her eyes. Rose moved from her place and sat herself beside Raja. Rose put her arm around Raja's shoulder.
Rose whispered, "Mitch's right. Yer dad's gonna be fine. I bet he's awake right now and yer mom is coming home this very second!" Mitchell stared at Rose and shook his head while rolling his eyes. She stared at him. "What?" Rose asked in a snappish tone.
Mitchell smirked, "Nothin', Rosie..."
"Sure...Whatever..." Rose said, flatly. Raja giggled.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door. Darting straight to the front window to see who it was, Raja peered through the curtains and saw her mother there. "MITCHELL! MOM'S BACK!" shouted Raja, gleefully. "DADDY WOKE UP!" She added in her trilling voice. Richard came down the stairs with his girlfriend, Kaylie, both of which looked confused.
"What in hell's going on here?" asked Richard.
"RICH! DON'T SWEAR!" Kaylie said, angrily.
"Hey Kay... There's a dog behind you!" Richard teased. Kaylie jumped and turned around.
"WHERE?!" she asked, scared by the fact there could be a dog behind her. WHen she saw there was no dog, she turned and glared at Richard. She slapped him a little rough in the shoulder, but still playfully. "NOT FUNNY RICHARD!" she pouted (A/N: Couldn't help it Shannon! Had to put the dog thing in there!).
RIchard smirked and kissed Kaylie on the cheek. "I love ya..." he whispered into her ear. She sighed and kissed him back, smiling. He smiled back and then turned to his hlaf-siblings and Rose. "What's goin' on here?" he asked.
"Mom's home!" squealed Raja, happily. Richard blinked.
"Well did anyone let her in yet?" he asked. Raja looked to Mitchell, who turned to Rose and she looked back at Mitchell and Raja. Then all three looked at Richard and shook their head. He rolled his eyes. "Do I hafta do everything?" he questioned himself outloud. Kaylie rolled her eyes.
"Richard...Behave!" she scolded. Richard smirked and kissed Kaylie again. He headed to the door and opened it.
"Hey Mom," said Richard, smilng. "How's Dad?"
Brianna came into the house and smiled. "He's ok. He woke up an hour ago. I decided to come home and let him sleep. We'll see him later ok?" Brianna explained. Richard looked relieved. Brianna glanced over Richard's shoulder and saw Kaylie. "Hey there Kaylie. How've you been?" Brianna asked.
"Oh fine except Rich's been teasing me about dogs..." Kaylie said, darkly. Brianna looked at her eldest son. He smiled innocently but it was obviously fake. Brianna slightly flinched, thinking of Mad Dog, but pushed the thought from her mind.
"Mom?" asked Richard, looking concerned.
"Hmm?" Brianna asked.
"Are you ok?"
"Oh yeah, I'm fine..."
"MOM!!!!" squealed Raja, running to her mother. Raja hugged Brianna around the waist.
Brianna patted Raja's head, "Hey there Raj. Dad's ok... We're gonna go see him later ok?"
"YAY!"
"Hey Mom," said Mitchell, with a smile that looked oddly enough like the smile Squid had when he was younger.
Brianna said, "Hello Mitchell. Didya hear about yer dad?" He nodded. "Ok. Well where's my crazy friend at now?" Rose giggled.
"You mean my Mom right?" Rose asked, giggling. Brianna smiled and nodded. "She's in the kitchen with my Dad." Brianna nodded and walked into the kitchen. She saw Shaily and Zigzag sitting at the dinner table with a photo album and photos laying all over the table top. Brianna cleared her throat and they looked up and saw her.
"BRI!" shouted Shaily, getting up and hugging Shaily.
"Hey there Shail... Calm down!" Brianna said, laughing.
"So?" Zigzag asked. "How is he?"
"He just woke up... I left him because he seemed really tired and plus sleep is good for him. I'm taking my kids back to see him later after he's rested up for a while." Brianna explained. Zigzag sighed and seemed calmer than he originally had been. Shaily smiled. "Have Rich, Mitch, and Raja been any trouble?" asked Brianna.
"No, of course not. Just a lotta teasing going on between Kaylie and Richard, but y'know... They're dating..." Shaily said. Brianna laughed and sat down. Shaily turned to Zigzag and gave him a look. He blinked and then hurrily put away the photos and the photo album away and safely into his lap.
"What was that?" asked Brianna, suspicious.
Shaily piped up, "Nothin'! It's nothin'! Right Ricky?" Brianna and Shaily turned to ZIgzag. He nodded and gave a cheeky smile, which made Shaily slap her forehead. "Oh for God's sake, Ricky..." muttered Shaily.
"What?" he asked, perplexed.
"Never mind..." hissed Shaily. Brianna smiled and laughed once again. "I bet the kids can't wait for you to take'em to see their dad." Brianna nodded and glanced at her wristwatch.
Brianna gapped, "Damn! I gotta go ok? I've gotta do somethings. I'll come get Rich, Mitch, Raj, and Kaylie in about an hour...Ok?" Shaily and Zigzag nodded and watched Brianna rush back to her car and leave. Shaily sighed.
"We can't let Brianna see her birthday present..." Shaily whispered, slightly happy Brianna had left. Zigzag nodded.
"Yeah...But why are we making it now?! It's still February! Her birthday isn't until April! We've got plenty of time..." Zigzag pouted as he dropped the photo album back onto the table top. Shaily sat down beside him and lightly kissed him.
"Because I said so!" She whispered, giggling into his ear. They heard crying. Joey came into the room, with tears running down his eyes. "Joey?"
"MOM!!!!!!!! ROSIE TRIPPED ME IN THE HALLWAY!" wailed Joey. Zigzag laughed.
"I'll take care of it..." Zigzag said, standing up as Joey pounced into his mother's lap and cried. Zigzag went off to find Rose.
