Chapter 7
Sportacus knocked on Stephanie's door and she smiled as he walked in.
"So what did the doctor say?" she asked.
"He wants to keep you overnight. They just want to make sure you don't have a concussion or anything that's all." Sportacus told her.
"Is someone going to stay with me?" Stephanie asked.
"Sure if that's what you want." Sportacus replied.
Pixel was sitting sound asleep in a chair next to Stephanie's bed. But all of a sudden he snapped awake screaming. Sportacus grabbed him.
"Pixel are you ok?" Stephanie and Sportacus asked at the same time.
"I was just having a nightmare." was Pixel's reply.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" Sportacus asked.
"No, that's ok." Pixel said.
Then Sportacus told Pixel and Stephanie about how long the cast would be on and how Stephanie would have to come back to the hospital to have it removed. Stephanie yawned and Sportacus said he would get the Mayor.
"So you think Number 9 is Sportacus' father and that Sportacus came to LazyTown to find him." The doctor said.
"Yes, I do. I just wish that I had an opportunity to discuss what happened that day with Number 9. No one blames him for what happened." The Mayor said.
Just then Sportacus came in and told the Mayor that Stephanie wanted to see him. Mayor Meanswell thanked the doctor and left with Sportacus to go visit Stephanie. Sportacus said nothing until they reached Stephanie's room.
"Oh Stephanie!" the Mayor cried.
"Uncle Milford!" Stephanie started to cry.
The two hugged and Sportacus pulled Pixel out so the two could have a few moments alone.
"I was so worried about you. I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you." Uncle Milford gushed.
"I was afraid that no one would find me. I didn't know where I was or what was going on. I love you Uncle Milford." Stephanie sighed.
The two hugged again and smiled. Mayor Meanswell asked Stephanie if Sportacus explained everything. She said yes and wasn't sure who would stay with her. The Mayor said unfortunately that he and Sportacus would have to leave to make sure the town was finally back in order. Stephanie said she understood and asked him to have Sportacus and Pixel come back in. The Mayor nodded and brought the two back in.
"Uncle Milford says that he and Sportacus have to leave so, is it ok if you stay with me, Pixel?" Stephanie inquired.
At this Pixel blushed and told her he would stay with her. Sportacus winked at Pixel and said "I'm sure you two have a lot to talk about." With that Sportacus and Mayor Meanswell said their goodbyes and left.
Pixel said, Stephanie, I need to tell you something."
"Yeah." she responded.
"You know that voice you heard? Well it was me. While Sportacus was saving the other kids, I was sitting next to you, holding your hand, and telling you something." Pixel explained.
Stephanie looked at him expectantly waiting for him to finish. Pixel turned red and swallowed hard.
