I woke up at around 2:15 am in the morning. Duke follows quickly behind me. Seconds later I felt a hand on my back. Dreamer you are feeling okay. He read between the lines and came in with a water bottle.
Minutes after that I washed my mouth and face. Both of us head back to bed. I am wrapped in his arms as we fall asleep. Eventually Captain America manages to get me on my bed to put the rag on my head again.
As the sun peeked from behind the clouds to brighten my brother's room. Luca woke up to remove the rag. He went into the kitchen to begin our breakfast. Duke is in step with him. The coffee is brewing, smelling up the whole kitchen.
"Five more minutes please," I begged.
" Okay Dreamer," he replied.
Captain America is finally moving around. He went into the kitchen for some coffee. Duke got a pet. They are talking to each other at the stove.
" Where is T?" Luca asked worriedly.
"Still sleeping," he replied.
Let's get her to the hospital today. You know how she hates those.
The bed is now cold next to me. I woke up to take a quick bath to change. Minutes after that I went into the kitchen. Duke and the guys greet me. I took a mug to get my share of coffee and set the table.
"Good morning sis," they greeted.
" Morning bros," I replied to him.
Our apartments and house are now alive and noisy. I drank another mug of coffee. Later on, the mug in our sink. This is copied by our teammates. Our meals are in their final minutes on the stoves.
Breakfast is promptly served at 7:45 California time. Everyone dished out our food to eat. The team sat in our assigned seats at the tables. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sink.
Minutes after that I left the room to get dressed. I will text both teams and Nate.
" Are you two trying to get me to go to the mall?" I told them.
"Maybe sis. Everyone else already knows," they replied.
They head to their room to do the same thing. Duke is relaxing. I am watching The Flash. Captain America got his go bag ready. As daddy puts my stuff in a plastic bag.
Luca grabs the car keys while turning on the alarm. We are in front of the house now. I cuddled with my brother when we're in the car. Soon we are at a place that I don't like. All of us walk in together.
I signed in waiting for the Doctor. Soon he walks out to take us back.
" Hi I am Jim," my brother greeted
" Nice to meet you Jim," the doctor replied.
The test running began for me. Within minutes both teams with my grandma arrive.
"Where is Street," they wondered.
"He went with her," Luca replied.
My first round of tests are finished. I am wheeled back to my room. I dozed off and on for the next couple of hours. Captain America is sitting next to my bed. His nurse from last time walked in. Mr. Street, nice to see you two again. We had to bring her in because yesterday wasn't a good day for her.
We set up the couch for you. I will be back soon. The doctor walks into the waiting room. Family and friends of Ms. Diaz. All of them are standing up. She is in a room now and Mr. Street is still with her. You may go visit now.
The guys went first. My dad puts the clothes in my bag. Deke walks over to show me a drawing.
It read " Get Well Soon Aunty" in a kid's writing with his family. Later on, they exchanged places with our girls. Jim, you look tired, go home. No, I can't Dreamer need me.
" Luca will watch her for a while. He wants you to walk Duke," Peggy told him.
"Okay I will," he replied, giving her a kiss.
He walks out and gets the keys from Luca. Now you go in buddy.
Captain America drove down to Long Beach. When he got there pulls into the driveway. He rang the doorbell. Lucy answered the door for him. Both of them walked back to the kitchen. I needed a quick visit before I went home.

My son called this morning when they got to the hospital. Both of us know already.
"How is she doing?" They asked.
"She is just tired from the testing," he piped.
I am going to be heading home now to walk our dog and rest. Let me know if she wants home cooked food.
Moments after that he pulls into our driveway. He went into the house to get the leash and our dog waited to hear some familiar footsteps behind his co owner. They have a nice walk around the block together. Later on, they are in the house again. Duke keeps looking at the pinball machine.
The pair of us took a quick bath. I changed into my LBPD shirt since it still smelled like him. Luca just shook his head from the side of my ️. It feels comforting since he isn't here now. Captain America jumped into bed to cuddle with Simba.
Erica drops lunch for my brother. The nurse came in after with my tray. As the team's head to the cafe. They decided what they felt like having that afternoon. Mom was the one that saved the table.
Lunch is promptly served at 12:00 pm California time. The team sat in their assigned seats. Conversations are going on throughout our group. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating they threw away their trash in the bins or put his plate in the sink.
Captain America hung the picture that Lila drew next to Black Betty on the fridge. The cleaning crew took our trash. He's taking too long to come here. Remember he still needs to get a little rest. As the mood shifts in my room.
I started to have a panic attack. Minutes after that the nurse came to check if I needed anything. As she looked at Luca worriedly. We have it under control. I focused on the second hand like Buck taught my brother as a kid.
The kid taught you that trick. Of course he did. Luca turns my head toward him. I felt his big hand in its grounding position over my ❤️. Soon after that my breathing slowly evens out.
I fell asleep after that attack. Captain America is in my room again sitting on the couch. The doctor told them that my results came in and explained that I am in observation for the night. She may go home either tomorrow or Monday.
Luca turns around and looks at us one last time. Seconds later he lifts the side of the sheet closest to him. I cuddled into his side. Of course, he smiles when he looks at my shirt. Eventually I lay on his chest.
Soon both teams leave to go home. Peggy sneaks an extra visit. My movements are kind of restricted. I just wanted to give both of you 😘. She looks so comfortable right there.
I woke up from the long nap. Dreamer I heard that you were begging for me. By the way, I agree with Buck.
" Home, I asked him.
" They are going to look at you tonight. Maybe either tomorrow or Monday," Captain America replied.
As Captain America I am going to the cafe to get some food. The nurse comes to check on me. Your brother is just worried about you. I know he is overprotective of me. That's my brother.
Dinner is promptly served at 6:00 pm California time. Everyone dished out our food to eat. Our usual drinks were beers for the grownups and juice for the kids. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sinks.
We broke up into our usual boy's vs girls' groups. Our sisters and girls cleared the tables. I wiped down every surface with a rag. Annie unpacked the dishwasher. The guys washed the dishes to refill it with the wet ones. Every kitchen is now clean.
Family time continues in front of the tv. We shared our favorite tv shows with the group. I walked over to his room in order to change into my jammies and brush my teeth. Later on, I returned to both our couch and my favorite spot. I am nice and comfy.
Luca video chats with us on his roommates phone.
Luca: Hey J
Jimmy: Hey Luca
Luca: How are you?
Jimmy : good and you
Luca: fine thanks
Jimmy: I know Duke
Luca: yeah
Jimmy: he misses his Dreamer
Luca turns the phone
Duke is now happy.
Fairy dust: I am coming home soon.
Luca: bye guys
Both: Night Luca
End of call
" Goodnight Captain America," I told him.
"Night Dreamer," he answered.
There's a short bathroom break. I jumped to my bed. Pedro is already in my arms. Counting sunglasses time begins right now. Minutes after that I am fast asleep.
Meanwhile with the team still up watching tv. As their laughter is slowly dying down now. Our tv sets and family room lights are turned off. The team heads to their own bedroom. Captain America makes a quick decision between the made-up couch or the bed. Everyone else joins me soon in dreamland that night.
