"Mom!" the twins holler as they rush into Debra's hospital room and wrap their arms around her.
"Not so tight guys," Debra says, a huge smile on her face.
"Sorry," Michael and Geoffrey say as they quickly back away. "We won't hug you anymore."
"No, it's OK," Debra says, laughing. "Just not too tight, alright?"
"Alright!" Michael and Geoffrey say as they throw their arms around her again.
Ray and Ally walk into the hospital room.
"Come on guys!" he says as the twins look up at him, a guilty look on their faces. "I told you not to run ahead, and what do you do?"
"Awe Ray," Debra says, giving him a smile. "It's alright."
The boys sit on the sides of the bed as Ally gives Debra a hug and a kiss.
"Hey mom," she says, sitting down beside Michael. "How are you feeling?"
"Fine hun," Debra says, giving her a smile. "Your dad has told me how much help you've been around the house. I want to let you know that I really appreciate it and it helps me relax knowing someone is taking care of the boys and your father."
Ally gives Debra a great big smile.
"Funny! Very funny," Ray says, coming over and giving Debra a kiss.
"Hi sweetie," Debra says, smiling at him.
"Hi," Ray replies.
"So I want to know what you guys have been doing while I've been here," Debra says as she turns to look at the kids again. "Are you having fun at Grandma and Grandpa's?"
"Yeah," Ally tells her. "They've been really great."
"Really?" Debra asks in disbelief.
"Yeah," Ally says. "I've pleasantly surprised."
They are all laughing as Robert comes into the room, still dressed in his police uniform.
"Hey everybody," Robert says, giving them all a smile.
"Uncle Robert!" Michael and Geoffrey say as they get up to give him a hug.
"Hey guys," Robert says, messing up their hair after giving them both a hug.
"Hey Robert," Debra says.
"Hey Deb," Robert replies. "Just thought I'd stop by on my way home and keep you company for a bit, but I see you've already got a full house so I can come back another time."
"No, stay!" Debra tells him. "I've missed having everybody around at the same time."
"Watch it," Roberts tells her. "Ma might hear you!"
Everybody laughs. Then, as if on cue, Frank and Marie walk through the door.
"Hello dears," Marie greets everybody.
"Speaking of the devil," Ray comments.
"What was that dear?" Marie asks, looking over at Raymond.
"Nothing ma," Ray says, struggling not to burst out laughing.
"How have you been Debra?" Marie asks, walking over and giving Debra a hug.
"I'm doing well thanks," Debra says, surprised at the fact that even though her in-laws have showed up unannounced, she doesn't want to impale herself with a pencil.
Franks walks over to the side of the bed.
"Hey Frank," Debra says, smiling up at him.
"Hey there sweetheart," Frank says, bending down to give her a hug and a kiss.
"I really appreciate all of you coming to visit me," Debra beings. "But I'm really tired, so do you think we could continue the party tomorrow?"
"Of course dear," Marie says, and then turning to Raymond. "Would you like the kids to stay with us again?"
"Could they ma?" Ray asks. "I'd like to stay here with Debra."
"Of course dear," Marie says.
"Thank you so much Marie," Debra says, squeezing her hand.
"Don't even think about it," Marie tells her, giving her another hug.
"OK kids, give your mom a hug and let's get going," Frank says.
"Bye mom," Ally says as she gives her mom a hug.
"Can we come back tomorrow?" Michael asks, giving Debra and hug and a kiss.
"Of course you can," Debra tells him as Geoffrey also gives her a hug and a kiss.
"I'll be at home when you get home from school tomorrow guys," Ray tells them, giving them all a hug. "And then we can come and visit your mom."
"Bye," the kids say as they wave to Ray and Debra before following Frank and Marie out into the hallway.
