Nikki had taken the twins home, but Tom stayed with you the whole night
Doctor: Are you ready to head home?
You: Yeah
Doctor: Alright, lay low, work from your bed or couch, only walk short distances, and slowly ease-in to life stuff
You: Thank you for everything
Doctor: Of course. We'll see you in a month
Tom helps you change and helps you to the car
Tom: You okay?
You: Yeah, it's still a little numb
Tom: Good thing
You: Your mom's going to bring Harry and your dad down to help
Tom: That sounds like fun
You: It's also going to be a lot of people
Tom: Yeah, a lot of eyes on you
You: I'm so sorry I didn't tell you...
Tom: It's fine, but why wouldn't you tell me?
You: If I had told you, then I would have to accept it, and I really wanted to ignore it
Tom: You can't just ignore your health shortie
You: I just didn't want to go through all of this
Tom: Well, now you have, so it's time to focus on healing
You: What about Ryker?
Tom: I've got him, and my mom knows all about it
You: I'm sorry...
Tom: Please stop apologizing, everything's okay
You: But I broke our promise
Tom: You did, but I really don't care. The most important thing in the world to me is you and the twins, and all of you being okay. I care that you're okay
You: I still feel bad for scaring you
Tom: I know you do. Just don't do it again, please
You pull up to the house and Tom helps you get inside
Tom: Ready? Just take a step...slowly
You: Yeah, just make sure I don't fall
Tom: I've got you
Ryker: Mom!
You: Hi bubs!
He goes to jump up on you
You: Easy bubs, mom's fragile at the moment
Ryker: Alright, I'll be gentle
Haylee: Momma!
You: Hey bubba
Haylee: Are you okay?
You: Yes, I just have to take it slow
Nikki: Hi y/n
You: Hi Nikki
Nikki: I brought Dom and Harry down
You: That's great, thank you. So, my headcount has us at 13 in the house, right Spidey?
Tom: Uh, there's you, me, the twins, Kristen, Harrison, Liam, Mattie, Mom, Dad, Sam, Harry, and Paddy. So, yes 13 is the headcount
You: Good thing we did the addition, but we'd still be short a bedroom
Nikki: Dom and I are staying in the apartment over the garage
Tom: Are you sure mom?
Nikki: Yes, that way everyone has their own rooms
You: Thank you so much, Nikki
Nikki: I'm here to help so no one needs to lift a finger
You slowly walk over to her to give her a hug
You: I appreciate everything you're doing so much
Nikki: I'm happy to help, gives me something to do
Tom: Thanks mom
Sam: What up family?
You: Sam!
Sam: Oh my god! You're back!
You: Thank you for watching the twins
Tom: Yeah, you didn't have to do that
Sam: Yes, I did. My goddaughter and nephew needed me
You: Well, thank you anyway
Then the doorbell rings
Tom: I got it
You: No, I want to try to walk on my own
Tom: Okay, I'll follow behind you
You get to the door and it's Robert
Robert: y/n! You're home!
You: Yes, I actually just got here
Tom: Hey Robert!
Robert: How are you feeling?
You: I'm alright
Robert: Great to hear. Where's Ryker?
You: Upstairs in his room
Robert heads upstairs
You: Tom, couch, please
Tom: Let's go!
He picks you up and puts you down on the couch, and you two just break out into laughter
