Andrew woke up at 8am the next morning, he wondered if he should wake Monica, so that they could get to the hospital early, or leave her sleep.
Andrew decided to wake Monica. "Hey angelgirl, wake up" he said softly. Monica looked up at him and smiled. "Are we going to see Scott now?" she asked "Well...not yet, it's a bit too early, lets have breakfast and then we can go" he replied.
"Andrew...we can't have breakfast, we don't have any food here, and I broke the toaster", Monica said trying not to laugh. Although the look on Monica's face made Andrew laugh, "Well we'll go out for breakfast".
They decided to go to a nearby café. "Andrew, when is Tess coming back?" she asked "I'm not sure, but to be honest I thought she would have come back last night" he replied "but don't worry, I'm sure she is fine".
When they arrived at the hospital, Andrew went to tell Scott that Monica had come to see him, but he was sleeping. Andrew then went to get Monica "baby, if you feel like your about to cry, tell me and we can leave and come tomorrow", "Ok, is he alright?" she asked. "Yes he's fine. He has an I.V. in his arm but he is OK" he replied hugging her.
Monica sat on the chair and looked at the young boy sleeping, Andrew sat next to her, holding her close to him. "Are you OK?" he asked "Yes" she replied trying not to cry "Andrew, I can't help thinking that this was my fault" she sobbed "just think, if he hadn't left the park then, even if he had stayed only a few moments longer, he wouldn't be lying here now".
Andrew took he hands in his "Monica, this is not at all your fault, you couldn't have known this was going to happen". Monica leaned against Andrew "I know" she replied.
Just then Cherilyn appeared in the doorway. "Hi" she said, Andrew and Monica looked at her and smiled. "Y'know when you said yesterday that me and Monica would make a nice couple, well we decided to give it a go" Andrew told her, Cherilyn smiled "So you're a couple now?" "yes we are" replied Andrew.
"Me and Monica were about to leave, could you phone us if you hear any news about Scott and his parents?" asked Monica, "I'd be happy to" replied Cheriyln.
