Chapter 138: Halloween
Andy's POV
*One Month Later*
"I promise I'll take lots of pictures for you. I love you so much." I told ShyAnne as I kissed her forehead. Tonight was Halloween and I was going home to take the twins out trick or treating. I don't feel comfortable leaving half of my family at the hospital, especially when they're so sick, but I can't forget that I still have two kids at home. ShyAnne has had no improvement and has suffered a third seizure. The triplets are slowly improving everyday. They expect Callie to be able to go home in a month as long as she keeps developing appropriately. Carter is recovered from his heart surgery, but due to his heart issues, is still severely underdeveloped and they have no clue when he will be cleared to go home. Chloe is still on the ventilator and they still don't know when she will be weaned off of it.
I walked out of the hospital and got in my car, driving home. I go home about once a week to shower, but this is the longest I'll be at home. I still plan to go sleep at the hospital tonight. I just can't stay away. I got home and walked into the house.
"Daddy's home!" My mom exclaimed.
"DADDY!" I heard my kids scream as they ran to greet me at the door. I bent down and embraced them.
"Oh, I missed you guys so much." I said, holding them close. I let go of them and stood back up. "Let's go get you guys in your costume." I said and they cheered. I went upstairs with them and we went into their room. I pulled out their costumes and got them dressed. They were going dressed as Pebbles and Bam-Bam from the Flintstones.
Eliza was wearing a green dress with black spots. Elijah was wearing orange shorts with black spots, a brown sash going across his chest, and a small fake bone at the end of the sash. I sent Eliza downstairs to get her hair done by my mom. My mom ended up pulling it into a ponytail and using a rubber band that had a fake bow on the top.
While my parents watched the kids, I took a quick shower and pulled on my costume. I was Fred Flintstone so I was wearing basically an orange dress with black spots and a blue piece of cloth around my neck that was tied like a tie.
"Alright, let's get going." I said, walking out of my room. My mom took some pictures for us before I headed out with the twins. We went around the block, the twins loading up on candy. We were a few houses away from ours when the twins gave up on walking, claiming they were too tired. I carried them the rest of the way home and let them go to the living room to look at their haul. I went to my room and changed into normal clothes before joining them in the living room. I spent another hour with them until it was time to put them to bed. I got them ready and put them in their beds, kissing them goodnight.
"Alright, I should get back to the hospital." I sighed as I came down the stairs.
"Well I know the twins really enjoyed spending time with you. They miss you so much." My mom said.
"I know. They say Callie will likely be released next month so I'll be home then." I said.
"That's wonderful Andy!" My mom exclaimed.
"Yeah, hopefully things start looking up for us. If you guys need to go home, let me know and I can arrange something for the twins."
"We are here as long as you need us." My dad said.
"Thank you." I smiled. "I love you guys." I said, hugging both of them. I went back to my car and drove to the hospital. I walked in and went to ShyAnne's room.
"Hey." Her parents said when I walked in.
"Hi, anything exciting happened while I was gone?" I asked.
"Thankfully, no." Her mom laughed.
"Do you want to see the twins in their costumes?" I asked.
"Of course." They said at the same time. I pulled out my phone and showed them one of the photos my mom took.
"Oh how cute." Her mom cooed. "I love how you dressed up too."
"It's been a tough month for them, I figured they deserve to see their dad have a little bit of fun with them." I shrugged.
"You're an amazing father Andy." Her dad smiled at me.
"I really appreciate that." I said with a small smile.
"Anyway, we should get going, it's late." Her mom said. I said goodbye to them and watched as they walked down the hall. I looked at ShyAnne and sighed, shaking my head.

Sorry for the small break, I have been so busy and overwhelmed! I was teaching all by myself this week with only a sub in the room and it was absolutely exhausting!
