Chapter 25
The next day Wednesday
Matt again woke up pretty early, He felt bad for being so mean to Dave. He went into the kitchen and put on some coffee, his moving around woke Dave up.
He saw Dave sit up and said "Hi Dave I didn't mean to be such a grouch last night I was just well over tired myself and I was a little worried about Brian. Do you want some coffee when it's done?"
"Yeah sure" Dave said "Hey listen I wanted to talk to you about this last night but I was too exhausted," Matt said "I know Bridget called Deena about this last night though"
"Oh what do you need to tell me?" Dave asked he sounded a little worried.
"I hope you don't mind but Brian told me about the situation with Carrie, I am a dad myself so I feel bad, for you, but I have this friend. Well she is someone I dated before I met my wife. Her name is Heather Cain and she is deaf, I actually learned sign language pretty well while I dated her. Anyway I called her mom because obviously Heather can't talk on the phone and she relayed information to her about your situation with Carrie and she wants to help. Actually after Sarah and I go house hunting with Bridget today Sarah and I are meeting with Heather at the Promenade at around 1:30. Do you think you could take a long lunch and bring Deena and of course Carrie to the Promenade in Glen Oak?"
"I can sure try and I will call Deena to let her know. Thanks Matt you're not such a bad guy after all Dave laughed."
Dave grabbed some coffee and they sat on the couch talking about Carrie and his other girls and Matt talked about the boys. Matt thought to himself "I will be nice to this guy for his daughter's sake and he said I am not a bad guy. Ok, I will be nice, part of me wants to ring his neck after last night, but because Carrie needs the help I will be good and at least he sounds like he is a good dad that's at least a plus for him. The part of Dave that is a father I like." Matt heard moving around in the bedroom, he went to check,
Bridget was coming out of the bedroom. "I smell coffee and it is kind of making me nauseated" she said
"Hey, were you able to talk to Deena last night Bridget?" Dave asked, "Matt told me about Heather"
"Yes I did she seemed very grateful and happy."
"Matt told me he is going to meet with her at 1:30 at the Promenade I will see if Deena can go and we can bring Carrie."
"Oh that would be great and by the afternoon we will be done looking at the 3 houses so that's perfect."
Dave was so distracted by this he didn't even think about talking to Brian.
"Hey I think I will grab a shower at Deena's so I can talk to her about this. Matt can I get your cell number to call you later?"
"Sure" Matt said, and they exchanged numbers. "Ok I have to run I will call you later bye"
and he headed to Deena's.
"Wow he sure left fast; hey when you are sure he is gone we have to get the bags out of the trunk." Bridget said.
"Ok let me use the bathroom take a quick shower and throw some clothes on and then I will run out and get them," Matt said "Oh I am assuming he is still asleep?"
"He was when I came out here, I am surprised the smell of coffee didn't wake him, you know he didn't move all night and he usually does must be those muscle relaxers I gave him, on the other hand was up and down all night I feel like I had to get up and go pee every hour" Bridget said.
"How many pills did you give him?" Matt asked.
"Only one, but then again he was really tired too. So the medicine probably really just knocked him out"
"Well I will check on him before I hop in the shower." He said.
He grabbed his bag and went into the room, Bridget came in behind him,
"I want to check on him too" she said
Matt took his pulse, and respirations, they were fine, Matt went into the bathroom. It was still early yet only a little after 7 am, so she lay back down next to him, he didn't wear the hat to bed last night. She hadn't put it on back on him so she was able to lay there and caress his head and then his cheek she kissed the top of his head and whispered "I love you Brian so much,"
Matt got out of the bathroom in about 10 minutes. "He's still asleep huh"
"Yeah I don' have the heart to wake him" "Well you take your shower then when you are done, we will get him up and showered and dressed. While you are in the shower I will go to the car and get the stuff out of the trunk ok."
He got the stuff and came right back up. He brought the bags in the bedroom and put Brian's in the closet where Dave wouldn't find it. He went over to the bed and went to wake Brian. He opened the blinds to let a lot of the sunlight in and said to Brian "Hey rise and shine buddy" he said in a fairly loud voice.
"Too bright" Brian said "I do not remember getting into bed actually I don't remember anything past getting in the car to come home wow I must have been out of it" Brian said still very groggily. "I really hate this immobilizer thing; I hope they tell me today that I don't have to wear it all the time."
"Even if they do Brian you will have to be very careful with that shoulder"
"Yes Dr. Matt" Brian said sarcastically
"I mean it Brian" Matt said sternly
"Ok I know" Brian said
Just then Bridget came out of the bathroom all showered and dressed,
"Wow your both ready to go? What time is it?"
Bridget looked at her watch. "About 7:30"
"I better get up myself" Brian said
"Yeah we will get you in the shower and let you wash up." Matt took the bandage off Brian's head "that wound looks like it is healing well, so I think it is ok to get it wet just no soap or scrubbing the area yet." Matt took the immobilizer off and helped him with the shirt. "Ok we can get the rest of your clothes off in the bathroom."
Bridget helped him with everything else. He was done in 20 minutes "Ok let's get you dressed."
Brian helped as much as he could, His balance was much better today and he had only a little shoulder pain nothing else, Matt told him to take the pain medicine as a precaution because of the physical therapy he was going to have later this morning and he took the antibiotics. Matt cooked eggs for everyone and Matt and Brian ate it but Bridget's stomach was still really queasy so she didn't eat any. Then they waited for Sarah, mom and dad to arrive.
They got their about 8:30. They came in two vehicles, Sarah brought the van. Matt left instructions for Brian's care with his parents.
"Matt you know I am not an invalid, besides I think I will be fine in mom's capable hands, now go find a house."
"Ok we are going oh by the way your laptop bag is in the closet in case you are looking for it" Matt said as he grabbed his cell, Bridget grabbed all her stuff and they left Sarah and Matt took the van and they followed Bridget in her car.
"Ok that leaves us Brian." said Annie, she asked Brian "Is Bridget ok you looked like she wasn't feeling too well, I noticed it last night too."
"Yeah her stomach has been acting up for the past couple of weeks
"Well you should have Matt or Sarah check her out she could have an ulcer or something especially with all the stress she has been under." Annie told him
Then Eric said to change the subject, "we don't have to your appointment until 10 so we should leave at about 9:15."
then Brian asked "Hey mom can you go in my room and grab my hat? I still feel funny about going out of the house without it."
"Sure Honey I will grab it for you."
Brian grabbed his keys and his cell phone from the end table and the left about 9:10. There was a bit of traffic so it too longer than expected but they got to the outpatient Physical Therapy department of the hospital by 9:50 so they weren't late. They went in and Annie signed Brian in. At about 10:15 he and his mother were taken in to the rehab area Eric stayed in the waiting room.
The therapist introduced herself. "Hi I am Maggie and I will be your Lead Physical Therapist care manager while you are with us. We want to get you to a point that you don't need this immobilizer. If after we are done today and I feel it is safe we may be getting rid of it the goal is to get you to a point that you have full range of motion in the shoulder plus we are going to be working on your balance as well."
The therapist took the immobilizer off. She worked with his shoulder for a half hour and also showed Annie how to help him do this at home. "How much shoulder pain are you having right now Brian?" Maggie asked
"it's not really that bad right now: He told her then she mentioned to him "I can tell you have not been icing it as you should have been since you have been discharged so I want you to start to do that at least after every time you exercise it. Our treatment program typically consists of a short period of immobilization, which you have been doing ice, and exercises for up to eight weeks in with us 2 times a week and exercising at home at least once a day and work up to twice a day I want you to ice after time you exercise it ok"
When he was done the had him sit and ice the shoulder for about 20 minutes.
He was done and our by 11:45. Annie went to the check-out appointment desk and made 2 appointments for Brian next week they also gave her the paperwork for his exercises. The therapist thought as long as he was careful and didn't use the arm to much he could keep off the immobilizer and in case she gave him a simple sling.
He was still on restriction and wasn't allowed to use the arm too much or to lift anything with it and he wasn't allowed to raise it above his head, but at least the immobilizer was off. He still needed to work on his balance but it was getting better.
"Ok mom and dad what do you want to do now, I am hungry I say we eat"
"Sounds like a plan" Eric said "How about burgers?"
"You're not supposed to eat those are you dad?"
"No He's not" Annie said "We still have quite a lot of both kinds of lasagna at the house lets go there."
"Ok sure mom" So they drove to his parents' house for lunch.
Matt and Sarah were thrilled with the 3 houses Bridget had them look at They were all well with in their price range and they all fit their needs.
"Bridget you are awesome. I can't believe you found these so fast" Sarah said "Matt and I have to talk about it because we like all 3 but the 2 top contenders are the 2 in Glen Oak for obvious reasons."
Then Matt added, "We also will want to take some dry runs to see how long it will take from each place to see how long it will take to get to work. So we will let you know"
"I will see you all later I know you have to meet with Heather at 1:30 and you have to call Dave. So I need to get back to the office I will see you tonight at the apartment Matt?" Bridget said.
"I am taking off tomorrow because I want to go Dr. Fitzpatrick's office with Brian, his appointment is at 1:00"
"I am going tomorrow too" Matt said.
"Ok we will see you later Bridget." Sarah said
Bridget headed off back to her office. Matt called Dave's cell, he answered on the first ring,
"Hi it's Dave."
"Hi Dave its Matt, are you, Deena and Carrie going to be able to meet us at the Promenade today?"
"Yes we are, I was actually just about to leave work to go get Deena and Carrie now, so that's a big area where specifically."
"Oh outside the Pete's pizza." Matt said
"Ok that's great see you at 1:30 And thanks Matt we appreciate it"
Matt hung up with Dave and turned to Sarah,
"We have an hour to kill, it's only :now and it only takes 5-10 minutes to get to the Promenade, what do you want to do?" He asked.
"Hmm, well we have tinted windows in the back here" she laughed, "we could go parking, there is a secluded section at the Promenade parking lot lets drive there."
So they drove to the parking lot and got there within 10 minutes. They hopped in the back and got some much needed alone time in before they had to go meet Heather.
After a while, Matt looked at his watch. "We better go, we have to meet them in a little over 5 minutes,"
So they got in the front seat and pulled the van a bit closer to the entrance. Heather was just getting there when they arrived;
"Hi Heather" Matt said and signed to her thanks for doing this. They should be here soon"
"Hey I heard that you found a long lost brother and that he looks like you. When do I get to meet him? It must be strange to have someone look like a twin." Heather said and signed.
"I will have to talk to Brian and see. He is also grateful that you are helping his friend's child."
A few minutes later Matt spotted Dave Deena and little Carrie. Matt got up to greet them and direct them to where they were. He introduced them to Heather, They all ordered lunch, they talked for quite a while Heather said she would help teach them sign language and would help direct them for education for Carrie. They were there until 2:45 but then they had to go to pick up Geneva and Larissa from school so they left,
"That little Carrie is sure a cutie" Heather said "Well I have to go" Heather said, "I have to get back to work but I will talk to you soon." So she left as well.
"You know Sarah; if I didn't know Dave in the context of how he is with Brian, I would think he was a pretty decent guy he seems like he is a great dad,"
"I know" Sarah replied, "and I really like Deena, you know I hope they work whatever marriage issues they have because they really seem to be good together. Not to change the subject but I have to ask you honey, has any of Brian's so called friends checked up on him at all? Supposedly Adam and Jimmy were great friends of his or at least they said so at Brian's birthday party."
"Nope not a one and I know that really bothers Brian. He has bailed Adam out of a few things that Adam would have been so screwed if Brian hadn't been there for. I know Brian is really hurt by the fact that Adam, who he has known since 3rd grade is so wrapped up in this ex fiancée being back in his life that Brian is forgotten about."
"Ok Matt I am confused wasn't he just married and is getting a divorce from a stripper?"
"Yeah the Stripper he met the night before what was supposed to be his wedding to Marjorie at his bachelor party. Marjorie left him at the altar."
"Wow Matt that sounds like a soap opera. You couldn't write a story that good."
"I know right, Well I suppose we should head out, let's head home to see the boys" Matt said
Brian was having such a good day he enjoyed being at his parents and being able to be with his nieces and nephews. They really loved playing with their uncle Brian. Even playing something as simple as Candyland with the kids was fun.
"Did you have enough to eat Brian or do you want more?" Annie asked him,
"No I am good for now mom" "Your dad said to tell you he would see you later, he had an emergency with a parishioner and he an Lucy had to go and help with."
"Oh ok I wondered where he went" Brian replied "Hey Brian you look a lot better than even yesterday "Carlos said as he came in with Charlie, "I hope Jenny and Chrissy aren't driving you crazy."
"We're not driving him cwazy daddy." Jenny said "he woves to play with us don't you uncle Bwian?"
He kissed her and said "of course I do."
"And me too" Chrissy said He kissed her to "and you too."
"How bout us" Noah and Jacob said "and the both of you too" Brian said but if you want a kiss you have to come over here because uncle Brian is still a little wobbly getting up and down"
and they both got up and Brian kissed them too. Annie said to him "they sure are attached to you."
Just then Matt and Sarah came in. "Hey what are you doing here mom and dad are going to start charging you rent." Matt laughed "Hey boys come give daddy a hug"
They did but they hurried up to go back and sit near Uncle Brian. "Wow, you must be special Bri, for them to right back to you when I am around, that's rare they don't do that with anyone."
"Hey what can I say I have the touch, kids love me, you should see Dave's kids with me but then again I play something that even Dave won't play?"
"Oh what's that? Matt asked "You have boys, you wouldn't know anything about it besides you will laugh"
"Ok now you have to tell me "Matt pleaded
"No way" hold on I will be right back" Matt went in the other room and dialed Dave,
Dave answered, "Hello"
"Hi Dave it's me Matt, I have a question for you. What is the game that Brian plays with your girls when he watches then that you won't or don't like to do?"
"Oh that's easy Pretty Pretty Princess, They dress up Brian in their entire princess dress up clothes the tiara and everything Deena has pictures I will bring them to the apartment tonight. They even have a wand and a fake frog they make him kiss, its hysterical, don't tell him about the pictures though until after I show you"
"Thanks Dave I got to run see you later" says "YES! This is priceless" he strolls back in the kitchen looks at Brian and tries to imagine him all dressed up. Then he bursts out laughing so hard his eyes water.
"What?" Brian says
Matt continues to laugh and just shakes his head he finally gets the laughing under control, "I can't tell you the last time I laughed that hard,"
Everyone in the kitchen asks "so what's the joke?"
Matt doesn't say a word. Matt knew his mom had the same type of stuff in the attic crawl space which was off of the attic bedroom that Ruthie used to play with. "I will be right back, hey Chrissy and Jenny come with me for a minute" He brought them all the way upstairs and easily found the box "Oh this is going to be good" he said out Loud "What do you have in the box Uncle Matt,"
"Have you girls ever played Pretty Pretty Princess "
"Yes we have dress up stuff at home" Jenny said
"Well this used to be Aunt Ruthie's And I heard from a friend, that Uncle Brian loves to play that with his girls. So go down stairs before me and ask Uncle Brian if he will play Pretty Pretty Princess, I bet he would love to. Don't run though, I don't want you to fall."
They went down stairs and Matt carried the box of stuff behind them. When they got downstairs they ran to the kitchen
Chrissy said "Uncle Bwian, Uncle Matt said you would play with us He found Auntie Ruthie's stuff. Will you play Pretty Pretty Princess?"
Brian thought to himself "Oh pay back will be fun on this one but if he thinks I am doing this alone he has another thing coming." Brian told them "Sure, but tell him if I play that I can't have all the fun he has to play too, Ok"
as Matt came down the stairs with the big box, Jenny told him "that Uncle Bwian will play but he doesn't want to be the only one having fun you have to play too"
Matt looked at Brian, Brian just laughed at him, "You thought you would be cute huh Bro. You brought this on yourself. Doesn't look like there is enough room in the kitchen for this Brian said "Maybe we will have more room in the living room" Brian said "I can walk I just need help to stand"
Sarah helped him up" "Hey where is your immobilizer?"
"Don't need it I only have a sling in case my shoulder bothers me I have been given the Ok to get rid of the other." Brian said; "Ok Let's go play the only thing girls is you can't touch my head I still have a big boo boo." Then He told Sarah "Make sure you secretly take picture of Matt doing this, I am used to doing this. I do this every time I babysit Geneva and Larissa so it doesn't bother me, But Matt well he doesn't get to do this. You have boys so unless you ever have a girl you may never see this again."
"Ok I will my phone has a camera I can be sneaky"
The girls had a ball dressing up both Matt and Brian Carlos snuck out in the back yard and took Charlie, Noah and Jacob so he made sure he had an excuse. He had to do that stuff at home. So this time he was off the hook.
When Eric walked in the front door about 45 minutes later he took one look in the living room and had to do a double take both Matt and Brian were completely dressed up with play jewelry feather boas and any other princess stuff his granddaughters could throw on them the only difference is that Matt was the lucky one he got to wear the Tiara, He figured the girls were told not to touch Brian's head otherwise I am sure they would have gotten one on his head too.
Matt thought to himself. "I am going to have to get that camera phone away from Sarah I can't believe she is taking pictures and mom too why is it that Brian doesn't even seem to mind"
"You know girls" Brian said. "Before you go back to New York we are going to have to have you play with my friend Dave's little girls Geneva and Larissa they play this too they would love to play with you."
"They do" Jenny said then Chrissy asked." Oh are those the girls you play with? Is that why you love to play?"
"Yep, Hey Mat you're awfully quiet over there. Aren't you having fun?" Brian laughed at the expression on Matt's face
"Oh loads" Matt said
Brian laughed at him and said "I have to say this is the most fun I HAVE HAD ALL DAY." then he said "Ok girls it is getting late and I think I have to get home soon for Aunt Bridget. So we have to put this away. Matt are you taking me or I can get mom too take me if you still want to play with the girls" he chuckled.
"No that's Ok I will give you a ride back" He couldn't get the princess stuff of fast enough. "I will have Sarah take us remember the car is at the house" Brian thought it was so funny how Matt was acting He slowly let the girls have the fun taking the stuff off of him.
"Hey maybe If you get to play with Geneva and Larissa, If I can I will play too."
They both said "YAAAAYYYY" Matt came in with Sarah and the boys "Are you ready to go" He asked,
"Yeah but ask mom for the paper work from my appointment, she has it in her purse still I think."
Matt went to get it from his mom. Ok I got it Matt said" hey no immobilizer?"
"You're just noticing that now?" Brian asks.
Sarah said, "He got the ok from his physical therapist, to get rid of it. He just has a sling in case he gets sore"
Then Brian added "I also have to be doing the Range of Motion exercises with help from a family member, at least once then increasing to twice a day. Then I have to ice it for 20 minutes after each time."
Matt said out loud "'We have to figure out what to do for dinner." Brian said "I guess we can eat at the apartment we probably should eat some of the food mom put in there huh? Hey Sarah why don't you and the boys hang out at the house tonight for a while. You know my kitchen is stocked now because you and mom are the ones who put the food in there."
"Sounds like a plan to me" She said.
So they all headed out. Mom went and gave them all a hug and kiss then they all piled into the van Matt drove.
Brian sat in the front just because it was easier for him to get into the front seat just as he got in the van his cell phone went off. He answered it,
"Hi honey I will be leaving work soon how has your day been?"Bridget asked
"Oh I will fill you in later. Let's just say Matt and I had an interesting afternoon." Brian said. "My physical therapy went well though; I don't need the immobilizer any more just a sling in case I get sore. I will show you all the paper work, when you get home. I will see you soon I love you, bye honey."
As they were driving to his apartment Brian noticed the boys fell asleep.
"Hey the boys fell asleep Matt" Brian said "So you thought you would be pretty funny with the thing with the girls today, Kind of backfired on you huh," Brian needled him,
"Come on you have to admit that was fun, I can't believe Carlos went into hiding they are his girls, But then again Dave doesn't really like to do that stuff with his girls either he will do almost anything else but that. I on the other hand can't wait to hopefully be able to play with my own like that someday whether it is with a boy and super hero or whatever he is into or a girl and that stuff. So I am just practicing now with other peoples kids."
"You really are good with kids Brian." Matt said "You are a natural at it and they love you, I think you will make an incredible dad when you and Bridget have them some day."
"Thanks Matt, yeah Bridget and I have talked she definitely wants at least one kid to start with and then we will see after that."
They got back to Brian's apartment and Sarah woke the boys "we are at Uncle Brian's wake up."
They thought that was great to be at Uncle Brian's.
"Hey boys do you like cars?" Brian asked, "because I know somewhere in my closet I still have some cars I kept from when I was a kid and I will let you play with them. Would you like that?"
They were really excited now to go into the apartment. Brian had a lot easier time this time going up the stairs "this is much easier for me today." He said to Matt, "I am finally almost feeling like my old self again"
They got into the apartment, "Hey Matt the box I want is on the top shelf I would get it but I am still not supposed to lift the left arm over my head yet, I will show you the one."
Brian showed him the box Matt took it into the living room for the boy's to play with; these are my old matchbox cars from the 70s when I was a little kid. I was then and still am now into cars."
The boys were excited to play with them Brian and Matt sat on the floor with them
Sarah went into the kitchen to look to see what to take out for dinner," Hey guys do you want the chicken casserole that mom made for dinner, I can just heat it up"
"Thanks Sarah that sounds great, Put it in then come over to play"
"You really are just a big kid aren't you Brian" She laughed, "Hey look what I am doing for a living creating video games so what do you think?"
Sarah came back to the living room. Bridget came in 15 minutes later, "Oh Something smells funny." She said she bent down and gave Brian a kiss
Brian said "that's dinner why is the smell bothering you?"
"Yeah for some reason it is." she said. The boys then said "hi Auntie Bridget"
Bridget looked at Brian kind of funny with a puzzled look. "You will be marrying me you better get used to that title," Brian said
"Yeah I think I like it" she said,
Brian told her of the afternoon he has especially once Matt and Sarah got back there, Sarah showed him the pictures,
"Oh those are so cute" Bridget laughed "Matt you look adorable. What no tiara Brian, you love the tiara when you play with Dave's girls?"
"Ah but remember the head wound no can do" Brian reminded her
"Oh that's right" they might have accidently hurt your head. You are doing so much better I actually forgot."
Just then Brian' cell rang it was Dave, Hi Dave what's up?"
Put this on speaker phone Bri, Brian did. "I won't be back tonight, Carrie is all of a sudden really sick again I think she has another ear infection we are taking her to the ER again, her temp is 103 again even with medicine and she is pulling on her ears again I just wanted to you to know I will call you later."
"Who is watching Larissa and Geneva?" Brian asked "Oh we have Maria here for that I really have to go," and he hung up.
"I can't believe she is sick again, that's how she lost her hearing in the 1st place all the ear infections."
"Wow that poor baby" Sarah said
They continued to talk about Carrie Matt told Brian and Bridget about the meeting with Heather, then the timer went off in the kitchen "ok time to eat" Sarah said
Everyone ate in the living room picnic style, Bridget really didn't want her food but pretended to enjoy it any way
"Hey I have a thought" Brian said "without Dave here we have plenty of room in the living room. Sarah why don't you and the boys stay here tonight too I have sleeping bags in the hall closet and we have the two cots here. You and Bridget are the same size.
"Hey yeah I have some great clothes you can borrow for tonight and tomorrow." Bridget said
and then Matt said "we always have extra clothes in the van for the boys so why don't I go down and get those, hey honey call mom to let her know you and the boys are staying"
Sarah dialed Matts parents Eric answered "Hi dad it's Sarah I just wanted you to know that the boys and I are going to be spending the night at Brian's because Dave won't be here tonight, so you wouldn't get worried when we didn't come back tonight."
"Oh thanks for letting us know see you tomorrow."
Matt came up with the boys things ok let's get ready for bed you get to sleep at Uncle Brian's tonight"
The boys were very excited about it. Matt took them in the bathroom and got them washed up and changed, and brushed their teeth. Bridget and Sarah got the extra blankets and sleeping bags out and set the couch up for the boys, one on either end. Brian put the cars back in the box and pushed it aside out of the way for the time being.
The boys were tired when they came back into the living room and by then it was 7:30, and they fell right asleep on the couch.
"Boy they were tired" Matt said.
Bridget brought Sarah into the bedroom and got her something to change into.
Brian yelled to Bridget "honey when you come back out can you bring me my medicine?"
she yelled back out "sure Bri"
While they were in there Brian said to Matt I think I have to do my exercises before I go to bed the sheet is on the refrigerator oh and for the time being according to Maggie my therapist I have to have passive therapy which means,.."
"I know what it means, someone is to move your arm for you ,I am a doctor remember" Matt said as he laughed at him
He got the sheet off and brought it out, he worked Brian's shoulder though the movements for a good 20 minutes . In the meantime Bridget came out with Brian's medicine and gave it to him. And Sarah came out changed; when Matt was done he got an ice pack for Brian's shoulder and it was iced for the 20 minutes prescribed,
It was now about 8:30 and even though he wasn't tired Brian wanted some alone time with Bridget, now that he was feeling better and less restricted he could do more with her." I am getting kind of tired" He told them" I think I am going to go to bed how about you honey?"
He looked at her and winked. "Yeah I think I am tired too" she yawned do you want to use the bathroom before we go to sleep Matt, Sarah already did,"
"Yeah I will" He went in and did his thing and got changed after he was through they all said "Good night" and Brian and Bridget went into the bed room and
Matt said "you know the mattresses come off the cots, let's put them on the floor so we can sleep together and if we are quiet and covered up we can fool around" and that's just what they did.
Back in the bedroom that is also what Brian and Bridget were doing as well "I love you Bridget,"
"I love you too Bri," He felt so good to be getting back to normal they all eventually fell asleep he was asleep for the night. Unfortunately Bridget was up and down a lot during the night to go to the bathroom.
