Hey hey everyone. Wow, it has been a hot minute right. Quick update from my end: country burned, virus came, Uni closed (yet still studying), therapy helping? and family dying. My time since the last update has been a whirlwind and I can only hope you all are doing a bit better than me. Please also know that if you need anyone to talk too, I'm here, if this time has taught me anything it's that we all need to band together and support each other in any way possible.
Any way enough of that here is the next chapter, once again I own nothing. I also have no medical knowledge so stuffs probably going to be all over the place with inaccuracies.
2 weeks later:
Barry General Hospital.
Spider's POV
I walked into Bomber's hospital room with the twins walking just in front. I had been discharged for a week already lucky to get out of it with just a bullet to the shoulder. Bec wasn't so lucky.
"Hey Bec, we are here for our daily check in. So, from me, I've been healing nicely, able to do little things again. Lucky, I have my parents staying with me for another 2 weeks."
"BB, I started ballet classes yesterday. And at kindy I made a new friend named Indie. And daddy said we can have pizza for dinner, and we get to watch Elsa." Lucy started chattering away, before I quietly interrupted to give Jake a chance to talk.
"Grandpa and I went to the park yesterday and we gived the ducks food. And I made friends with Indie as well and we played on the swings and in the sand. And I really want you to wake up and watch Elsa with us."
"Ok guys, how about you go stand out with Grandma while I talk with Bec for a bit longer okay?" slowly walking them out to mum.
"Ok little monsters are out, and I need you to listen very carefully. I need… we need you to wake up. I need my best friend, and they need their BB. There is a lifetime of things we need you for. I need to go to and get them home so we can have pizza and watch Frozen, again." Slowly I stood up, squeezing her hand before walking out. As I walked out, I saw Nav and Et talking with the kids and mum. We nodded to each other, patting Et as I walked past, gathering the kids while they walked into her room.
11.30pm
I groggily woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing, pressing answer without looking at the caller ID.
"Hello"
"Spide, she's awake." I heard Nav say.
"What, when? How is she? Give me 20 and I'll be there..." I started to ramble, shooting out of bed to throw clothes on.
"Dude calm down. Docs are in there right now; it's been 2 minutes since I got kicked out of the room. And don't stress about getting here, you have the kids. I reckon they are going to send me home considering visiting hours finished at 9 and the only reason I'm here is because they realised one of us have to be here or hell will rain down on them. I'm just going to wait for them to finish up, get an update, see her and then head home. Spide, your best bet is to come in at 8am when visiting hours start again."
"Are you sure, I can be there in 15, mum and dad are here for the kids. I can come."
"Yes, I'll send a text when I know what is happening. I suggest you take a couple of breaths, hop back into bed and get some sleep. Your kiddies are going to be up bright and early and the last thing they or your parents need is a grumpy man."
"Ok Nav, make sure you send that text. I'll probably see you tomorrow. Tell Bec I'll be there bright and early. Night." I ended the conversation before sitting down on the edge of the bed. I took a couple of breaths before I stood back up and made my way to the kitchen. There was no possible way I could go back to sleep. Definitely not before Nav sent the text.
Quietly I moved around getting a mug and putting the kettle on to make a coffee. After sitting there with the drink for 5 minutes my phone buzzed. Snatching my phone up I unlocked it to look at the text.
'All good, she's breathing by herself, but they have a mask on to make everything easier. Seems to remember everything. Says she can't wait to see everyone. She looks forward to the morning and asks that you sneak a milkshake and eggs in, fyi doc says she can't have solid food for at least a few days. Hasn't even had a meal and she's already sick of hospital food. Remember she's all good. Have a good sleep.'
I sent back a thumbs up before moving to rinse out my mug. I moved back into my room and settled for the night.
