Prompt #7:Carter gets hurt,and there are two special visits for him.

Really,it had been stupid. And he had worried them. And he wasn't touching a motorbike ever again,it was about time he got a car license. He was 18 after all. In hindsight he should've listened to his mothers. But he had thought it was cool to have one. Yeah sure cool,falling off it had been anything but so. Which had brought his mothers to worry,something he didn't like to have them do for him. Plus Lexie. Carter didn't like her worrying about anything. Lexie was to live calmly. He was full mode protecting her. Now lying in bed,not exactly being able to go around at the moment was a true issue. Carter was a boy of action. He had realized so in time,maybe through having Kara as a mother,watching her go anyway no matter what,he had grown a sense of pride towards such a mission. He was working over it,again,once he had gotten off the cast in his leg.

"Caart"

Lexie.

"I'm here kiddo"

Lexie came in like a thunder,bolting into the hospital room and only stopping a few inches far from the bed,before she could actually climb and pheraps cause some more damage to his injured right leg.

Good kid,always knowing what to do.

But Carter really wanted her on his bed with one of her bear hugs. He could've totally used them since his leg was hurting.

"Come up here,Lex,you're not gonna hurt me. Don't worry"

The child looked at him with the biggest question mark on her face. Up and down a couple of times before choosing the course of action.

She climbed on the bed with some help from his side,on the left,and just like predicted hugged him tightly.

He half hugged her bringing her close to himself.

It was good to have an oversized bear by him. Even more when it was his younger sister.

"Tell me kiddo,did I scare you?"

"Mm,you broke"

"Well,now,it's just my leg. In a few months it will be as good as new"

"It will stop being broken?"

"Yeah,I guess."

"Why is mama's spine always broken then?"

"Because it's different. There are bones which sometimes stay that way,because they can't be fixed as the damage was too much"

"But yours are going to?"

"Yes. Soon they will be"

He understood his sister's confusion. None of them had gone through much of a damage ever since she had been born. Their mom's job could be dangerous at times,but being at the desk meant less risk. If anybody had attacked,mama would've been there to help her. And their mama because of being the woman of steel and quite experienced in facing trouble by now,rarely got a scratch anymore. The only confusion could come from her being in a wheelchair,and then again Lex hadn't been let into how it had happened. He understood,and was keeping pretty far from telling her anytime soon. Too little to understand. Carter himself had been kept in the dark about his mama's addiction for months,and he had been 13 at the time.

"Does it mean you can't play with me for a bit?"

"There s no way,I won't play with my favourite sister because of this"

"I'm the only sister you've got stupid"

"Well,I guess you're right. Then again,we do have an older brother,but Adam is too old to run after you"

"Caartie"

"Oh c'mon admit it. Whenever he comes here he gets a backache"he enquired,laughing.

"He's funny,and he always plays dollies with me and he doesn't mind getting a backache because of me. He was pretty mad about you breaking a leg,though."

Lexie beamed and stuck her tongue out at him,but got off the bed,before he could attack her with the feared tickle monster.

"Can't touch me. Can't touch me"her little legs carried her further away from him before she came back onto the bed,squeezing against him.

"Come here. What did big brother say?"

"That he should set cameras around here too,so he'll be able to watch over when he's not here visiting"

Such a thing had Carter bursting into laughters again.

After the birth of Lexie,he and Adam had bonded like they had never had in his first 13 years of life. Adam had vowed to come as much as he could've and Carter had found in him a good older bro' coming to him whenever he needed. Adam had to work,but he had made it his priority to pass by as much as he could,and this had turned out to be good for his mom too.

Carter had found the role of the middle brother to be good for him,and pretty much in tune with who he was. He would've an older brother to go to,while he still got to be the older brother with good advices to Lexie.

"Where's the little rascal of a brother of mine?"

Talk about The Adam.

His head peaked into the door,with a smile on his face.

Yeah,just their usual meeting between siblings.
