(IN RYAN'S ROOM)
"Hi mom." Seth said walking into Ryan's room.
"Hey baby." Kirsten replied.
"I'm a little old to be called baby."
"Sorry baby.'
"Mom!"
"Seth?" Ryan asked from his bed.
"Ya Ryan."
"Can we talk?"
"Sure, one sec. Mom?"
"Ya I'm gone." Kirsten said exiting the room.
"How are you?" Ryan asked.
"You're the one I'm worried about."
"I'm as good as a guy can get in a hospital."
"Good. I know how much you hate them."
"You're right I do."
"I wish I could do something."
"Just letting me know you don't hate me is good enough."
"I don't hate you, I never have."
"You didn't talk to me for 2 months."
"You didn't talk to me for 8 years."
"GP."
"Oh god. You remember that?"
"Of course I do."
"Everything?"
"Pretty much."
"What about the day you, Marrissa, and I rode down the boardwalk."
"Of course. You were on your skateboard, and we were on my bike."
"We got to the Crabshack and Luke showed up."
"And then we had to escape because I punched him."
"While you got your bike I held the door closed."
"Those simple days are over."
"Whoever said they were simple?"
"GP."
"GP."
They both started laughing.
"So we're good?" Ryan asked.
"Definitely." Seth said and he held out his fist.
Ryan bumped his hand against Seth's.
"I got to go." Seth said.
"Come back?" Ryan said.
"For sure."
"See ya."
"Bye."
Seth left and Kirsten went back in.
(IN ELLA'S ROOM)
"Where have you been?" Summer demanded as Seth walked in.
"Ryan's room talking to my mother." Seth said.
"Is that the only person you talked too?"
"No."
"How is he?"
"He hates hospitals."
"Other than that?"
"He has his brother back."
"Good."
"Is Ella okay?"
"She's just been sleeping."
"Okay."
"You should too."
"Should what?"
"Sleep."
"I guess."
"Here sit down."
"Okay." He said sitting.
"Close your eyes."
"Okay."
She kissed him.
"What was that for?" Seth asked.
"For being the best husband, son, father, and brother anyone could want."
"Really?"
"Oh ya."
"Cool."
"You should sleep."
"If I have to."
"You don't have to do anything."
"But you're right I should."
"Than go to sleep."
"Okay."
(IN PARIS AT THE HOSPITAL IN CAITLIN'S ROOM)
"I want to go home." Caitlin said to the police officer.
"I know." Officer Monroe said.
"I never want to see my mom again."
"I know."
"Did your mom ever hurt you?"
"No."
"Then how do you know."
"Lots of other people go through what you've went through."
"Other people aren't like me."
"I know."
"My mother was the beotch of Newport, and now she'll be the beotch of Paris."
"Okay."
"My dad may have made some mistakes but he loves me."
"Okay."
"And Haley is a great mother. A way better mom than Julie will ever be."
"Okay."
"I would really like to go home."
"To?"
"To Newport. It's where my life is."
"I'll see what I can do."
"Thank you."
"Your welcome. Goodbye."
"Bye."
(AT THE COHEN HOUSE)
"Okay let's call Madi now." Sandy suggested. He was regretting offering taking three crying kids home.
"Ya." Scott said.
Liz nodded her head.
"Okay." Sandy said dialing.
"Hello can I have room 341?" Sandy asked into the phone.
"Yes one moment."
While they were being transferred Sandy handed the phone to Scott.
"Hello?" Marrissa asked into the phone.
"Hi mommy!" Scott said excitedly.
"Hi baby how are you?"
"I'm okay how's Madi?"
"Why don't you ask her yourself?"
"Okay."
"Hi Scott." Madi said into the phone.
"Hi sis. Are you okay?"
"Ya bud I'm fine."
"Good. Liz wants to talk to you."
"Put her on."
"Okay."
"Hi Madi." Liz said sadly.
"Hey sis."
"I'm more than a sister," Liz began.
"I'm a twin." They both said.
"Are you okay?" Madi asked.
"Fine are you?"
"My wrist hurts but I'm fine."
"I'll come before your surgery tomorrow okay?"
"Okay."
"How do you feel about surgery."
"I'm scared."
"You'll be fine."
"I hope so."
"I know so."
"I should go."
"Bye."
"Toodles."
"Au revoir."
"Arrivederci."
They both hung up the phone and Liz ran off to the poolhouse crying.
"Is she okay?' Ivy asked Sandy.
"Ya she's fine." He said, "Let's get you to bed."
"Okay." Scott and Ivy said bounding up the stairs.
"Brush your teeth." They did.
"Get in your bed." They did.
"Good night." Sandy said kissing both their foreheads and walking to the poolhouse.
"It's okay." Sandy comforted Liz patting her on the back.
She was still crying.
"It's okay."
She sat up, "I've never spent a night without her."
"Okay." Sandy said wondering where Liz was going with this.
"And now I have no choice."
"It's okay."
"I miss her."
"You just talked to her she's fine."
"She's in pain."
"The doctors will help her."
"I need to be with her."
"You need to sleep."
"I want to be with her."
"You'll see her tomorrow,"
"I know."
"Her surgery will go fine."
"I know."
"But right now you need to sleep."
"Fine."
"Let's go inside."
"I want to sleep here."
"Fine. I'll wake you up at 8:00."
"Deal."
"Goodnight."
"Night grandpa."
Sandy kissed her forehead and left the poolhouse shutting the door quietly.
(IN MADI'S ROOM)
"Madi!" Liz called as she ran into her sister's room.
"Hey sis."
"I'm more than a sister," Liz said.
"I'm a twin." They both said.
Madi started crying.
"Oh what's wrong?" Liz asked.
"Are you okay?" Madi asked.
"I'm fine sis."
"Are you scared?"
"Very."
"Me too."
Madi started crying again and Liz started running her fingers through her twin's hair, and telling her things would be okay.
"Ms. Atwood?" An orderly in the doorway said.
"Yes?" Madi asked wiping away her tears.
"Time to go for surgery."
"Ookay." Madi said shakily.
"Don't be scared."
"I'm not."
"Okay."
"Bye Liz."
"Bye Madi."
"Okay honey, I'll be there when you come out okay?" Marrissa said.
"Okay mommy. I love you."
"Love you too."
Madi was wheeled away, and tears fell out of Liz's eyes.
"Oh sweetie it's okay." Marrissa said.
"I know." Liz said.
"Then why are you crying?"
"I'm scared."
"She'll be fine."
"I know."
"Then why are you scared, because she is."
"She is?"
"She told me she was."
"There's nothing for her to be scared of."
"I know that but she is."
"Okay. Do you want to see daddy?"
"Yes."
"Okay let's go."
"Can we get some flowers for Madi?"
"On are way back from dad's room we will."
"Okay mommy." Liz said following Marrissa out of Madi's room, and they went down the hall towards Ryan" room.
(IN ELLA'S ROOM)
"Seth she's still asleep." Summer said.
"That happens when you have pneumonia." Seth explained even though he himself was worried.
"Oh."
"It's hard to breathe and you are always tired."
"How do you know so much?"
"I had it when I was 6."
"Oh."
"Ya it sucked."
"I can imagine."
"I know exactly what Ella's going through but I can't do anything to help her."
"Oh."
"I wish I could."
"I know."
"I have to go."
"What?"
"I need some fresh air."
"Okay."
"I'll be back."
"Bye babe."
"See ya."
Seth left the room and walked to the elevator heading downstairs and outside.
(OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL)
"Are you okay?" Kirsten asked.
"Hi mom." Seth said they were standing outside.
"Are you okay?"
"I can't do anything."
"About Ella?"
"I know what she's going through and it's horrible, and I can't help her."
"Seth when you had pneumonia I knew how horrible you felt and I hated not being able to help you, and when you got better I knew you were strong I knew you would always be strong."
"What's your point?"
"When Ella gets better,"
"If Ella gets better."
"When Ella gets better,' Kirsten said her voice firmer this time, "You'll be so happy knowing she made it through everything that you won't know what hit you."
"So?"
"Just wait, she'll make it through this, we all will."
"Thanks mom." Seth said hugging her.
"I love you baby."
"I love you too mom." Seth said not even protesting to being called baby.
