Four hours later
Callie came in to the waiting room with her scrub cap still on.
"How is he?" I asked.
"He's good. The surgery went well. I was able to do an surgery arthroscopic which is minimally invasive. I can take you to see him if you'd like." Callie said. I nodded and woke up Anthony.
"Hey squirt. Let's go see Trenton okay?" I asked. Anthony nodded.
"Momma can you carry me?" Anthony asked. I glanced at Cooper who nodded and picked Anthony up.
"I gotcha squirt. Come on." Cooper said and tickled him. Anthony giggled. Callie led us into Trenton's room. He was still asleep.
"Momma why does Trenton have a tube in his nose?" Anthony asked.
"It's to help him breathe." Cooper explained.
"Why can't he breathe?" Anthony asked.
"He can. That's just to make sure he continues to be able to." Cooper explained.
"Oh. Okay. Why is he asleep?" Anthony asked and rubbed his eyes.
"He's tired and it looks like you are too. Cooper why don't you run him home. I'll stay here." I suggested. Cooper nodded and scooped Anthony up again.
"Come on squirt. You need to go to bed. It's past nine." Cooper said and carried Anthony out. I sat down in a chair near Trenton's head. Callie sighed and sat down in a chair at the other end of the room.
"Can I ask you something?" Callie asked.
"Yeah, what's up?" I asked.
"Have you ever lost someone you loved?" She asked.
"Is this about what happened to Arizona and Sofia?" I asked. She nodded.
"Yeah, I can't stop thinking about that night, and how I didn't die, but they did." Callie said and pulled her scrub cap off.
"Do you blame yourself?" I asked.
"Yes." She said.
"Why? There wasn't anything you could do." I said.
"I should have died with them." Callie said.
"It hit their side, don't wish you were dead it wasn't your fault. The truck driver lost control and hit their side. There was nothing you could do." I told her. A tear escaped her eye and she whipped it away quickly.
"I just miss them." She said. I nodded.
"I know." I said.
"Mom?" Trenton asked roughly.
"Hey kiddo. How do you feel?" I asked.
"My knee hurts." Trenton said.
"I'll go get you some more Morphine." Callie said and left the room.
"I like Aunt Callie." Trenton remarked. I smiled and sat down at the end of his bed on the opposite side of his bad knee. "What happened?" Trenton asked.
"You don't remember?" I asked. Trenton shook his head.
"No I was running down to score and then everything went fuzzy." Trenton told me.
"You went to do a bicycle kick and something went wrong. You tore your ACL and you have a minor concussion." I explained.
"So I'm out for the season?" Trenton asked.
"I'm sorry kiddo." I said. Callie came in and gave him some Morphine.
Two days later
"Ready to go home kiddo?" I asked. Trenton nodded and let Callie help him into the wheelchair. I gabbed his bag and followed them out to the parking lot. Cooper was waiting at the door with the car. He lifted Trenton gently up out of the chair and placed him in the backseat. When we got home Addison was there with Mark and the kids. She had brought us dinner.
"I figured you wouldn't feel up to making anything." Addison said.
"Oh you didn't have to do that." I said and took the dish from her. "Have you talked to Callie lately?" I asked and sat the dish down on the counter.
"Yeah. She seems upset." Addison said.
"She still blames herself." I told her.
"The accident was five months ago. I thought she was doing better. I mean she's been on three dates with three different guys." Addison said.
"Going through the loss of your wife and child has got to be tough. I mean we can't even imagine the grief she must feel." I said. Addison nodded.
"Yeah, you're right. She just needs some time I guess." Addison said.
"Yeah. I'm still worried though." I said. Trenton made his way over to me on crutches.
"Mom I'm starving." Trenton complained.
"Well you are in luck, Aunt Addison made some kind of casserole. Why don't you relax on the couch and I'll bring you a plate okay?" I suggested. Trenton nodded and went to sit down in the living room. Mason ran downstairs.
"What's that?" Mason asked when he saw the casserole.
"Ah yes. You came running when you smelt food didn't you?" I asked. Mason smirked and dished some casserole on to a plate.
"Where's Trenton?" Mason asked.
"Living room. Don't touch his knee." I said sternly and handed him Trenton's plate too.
"Yes mom." Mason said and disappeared into the living room.
"How's Whitney?" I asked.
"Good she got her pink cast yesterday. She was so excited." Addison said. I grinned.
"I bet she was. Where are they by the way?" I asked.
"Nathan and Whitney?" She asked clarifying. I nodded. "Oh they're upstairs with Anthony." Addison said. I nodded.
"As long we don't hear any loud crashes or screaming they should be okay." I joked. Addison smiled. Mark came into the kitchen. He kissed Addison before going to the fridge and pulling out a water.
"Did you tell her?" Mark asked. Addison shook her head.
"I'm getting to that. Go back outside and talk about cars with Cooper." Addison said and kissed him on his way out of the kitchen.
"Tell me what?" I asked.
"I'm pregnant." Addison confessed.
"Addison that's great. How?" I asked.
"We tried fertility again and it worked." Addison told me.
"That's fantastic! How far are you?" I asked.
"Six weeks." Addison said.
"When did you find out?" I asked.
"The day before Trenton's soccer game. I was going to tell you then but things happened." Addison explained.
"Oh yeah. Things happened all right." I agreed. Addison smiled.
"So you and Cooper still not having any luck?" Addison asked.
"Nope. Not that we've really had time to try recently." I said. Addison nodded.
"That's true." She agreed. "Well I think we should head home. I'm going to go round up the kids. Take care and if you need anything don't hesitate to ask." Addison said and left the kitchen. I went into the living room to see what Trenton and Mason were up to. Mason was sucked into watching some TV show and Trenton was fast asleep on the couch with his plate of food half eaten and sitting on his lap. I smiled and took the plate. I went into the kitchen and cleaned it up then I went outside to get Cooper. He was sitting in a lawn chair watching the waves crash on the shore. He had a beer in his hand.
"Hey." I said coming up behind him. He smiled and turned his head to look at me.
"Hey. What's up?" He asked.
"Trenton crashed on the couch can you carry him up to his room?" I asked. Cooper nodded and stood up. He kissed me on his way by. I smiled and walked down to the beach. I pulled my flip flops off and let my feet sink into the sand.
