The doctors came in a couple of hours later, and when they wanted to wake Alex, Mr Wolff profusely refused.
"He needs the sleep, he was up all last night after you woke him up for more antibiotics." Mr Wolff said.
The doctors backed off allowing Alex to continue to sleep.
It was around noon when he finally woke up, feeling a bit more awake, but not fully rested.
"Hey Alex, You have a good sleep?" Nat asked quietly.
"I guess so," Alex yawned, "Can we go home now?"
"Soon, the doctors have to change your bandages first and she if your burns are getting better." Mr Wolff said quietly.
"Is it breakfast time yet?" Alex asked lethargically.
"You slept right through breakfast, it's almost lunch time," Mr Wolff said with a smile.
"But I'm hungry now," Alex whined.
"I know," Mr Wolff said quietly, he could tell that Alex's burns were still that uncomfortable and painful that Alex would be pretty irritaited and whiny for another day or so.
"If you know, then why haven't you got food," Alex whined more persistantly.
"It's coming, where do you think Onita is?" Mr Wolff said softly.
"Too far away," Alex moaned.
"Just sit tight and I'll get you a soda until she gets back," Mr Wolff said with a small smile.
"Nat, why did I get burned?" Alex asked.
"It was an accident, I didn't mean to," Nat said quietly.
"I know, but what happened?" Alex whined.
"I accidently bumped the table after you tripped over and knocked Onita's tea onto you," Nat said softly.
"Oh," Alex said simply as his stomach growled.
"You sound hungry bro," Nat said with a small grin.
"I know, I hope dad comes back soon with my soda," Alex said longingly.
A couple of minutes late Mr Wolff returned with a Soda and gave it to Alex.
"Thanks dad," Alex said as he began to scull the bottle.
