Chapter 13: Get Well Soon
It has been six days since Lars reopened his wound and Twister first got sick. Reggie was worried for the both of them. Lars was not staying in bed and taking it easy and Twister was still sick. Lars was taking care of Twister. He would not let his mother or father take care of Twister. Reggie never understood why. Lars was in the kitchen getting Twister's something to eat. When Reggie walked in and stood next to him. Lars looked at her and smiled.
"Why are you not letting your mom or dad help take care of Twis?" She asked him.
"Because… (He sighed) I was so mean to him in the past and I treated him so badly that I feel bad about it now. I just want to make up for lost time. I should have been a better brother to him." Lars said while getting Twister a water. Reggie looked at him and now understood. She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
Lars took the food to Twister's room and set it down on the dresser. He looked over at Twister who was asleep. He walked over and shook him lightly. Twister opened his eyes and sat up. Lars gave the tray of food to his brother. Twister looked at the food and then back up at Lars and then back down. Lars narrowed his eyes.
"What's wrong?" He asked him.
"I'm too tried to eat." Twister said looking back up at Lars. Lars took the tray and sat it on the nightstand. He got the bowl of soup and took the spoon and got some of the soup on it. He blew on it and brought the spoon up to Twister's mouth. Twister smiled and took the spoon into his mouth. Reggie stood in the doorway and watched Lars feed Twister his food. After the soup was gone and Twister had drank some of the water. Lars covered Twister back up and Twister went back to sleep. Lars walked out of the room with the tray in hand. Reggie smiled at him as he walked back to the kitchen.
-A Few Days Later-
The Doctor looked at Twister. Lars was standing by the side of the bed and so was Reggie. Sandy and Raoul were standing by the doorway. The doctor get done looking at Twister and turned toward Lars.
"He is doing much better and will be up and going in no time. But I still want him to stay in bed for another few days." The doctor then looked at Lars's side and said that it was doing just fine and not to lift anything at all. The doctor stood up and walked over to Sandy and Raoul and smiled at them. They walked him out and left Lars, Reggie and Twister in Twister's room.
"Well looks like we are both getting better." Lars said as he sat down on Twister's bed. Twister smiled and nodded his head. Lars leaned over and kissed Twister on the forehead and got up. He and Reggie walked out of the room.
Lars and Reggie walked to their room and closed the door. Reggie turned toward Lars and smiled. Lars looked at her and smiled back.
"Well looks like I'm healed enough for us to have a little fun." Lars said and pulled Reggie towards him slowly. Reggie narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"Really?" She asked him.
"Yes."
"No Lars not until you are fully healed." Lars looked away and made a face. Reggie giggled and sat down on the bed next to him. She took his hand into hers.
"Lars, I need to tell you something." Lars looked at Reggie with a concerned look.
"What is it?" He asked not knowing what she was about to say.
"I have a doctor's appointment in two weeks." Lars was started to get worried.
"What is wrong? Is there something wrong with you?" He asked her.
"Well I don't know I have not had my…monthly visitor for a while." She told him. Lars could see that Reggie was worried.
"Well if there is something wrong then we will deal with it together." Lars said and kissed Reggie's hand. This made Reggie smile.
-The Next Day-
Twister was in his room setting up in bed reading a book when Otto walked in.
"Please tell me you are doing homework?" Otto made a joke. Twister smiled a sat the book down on the bed.
"So Reg tells me that the doctor said that you can get out of bed now." Otto said with a smile.
"Yea but he wants me to stay in bed for a few more days." Twister said looking at his friend.
"Well he will not know if you and I went surfing." Twister made a face.
"No Otto, I think, I should stay in bed."
"Oh come on Twister we will not be out that late." Otto begged him.
"No Otto." Otto turned around and looked at Reggie who was standing at the doorway.
"Otto can I talk to you." Reggie pointed out the door. Otto got up and walked with her to the living room.
"What is it?" Otto asked her.
"Twister is sick and you want to take him out in the cold air and water. What is wrong with you? You need to start thinking about other people Otto not just yourself." Reggie said this and walked away. Otto watched her leave the room. Otto got mad and walked out of the house.
