Chapter 5-Day

He opens his eyes. I'm holding my breath and I think everyone else is too. He blinks a few times, like he's confused and reaches up to rub his eyes but thinks better of it. It doesn't seems like he's focusing on any one thing and the hope that I had built up slowly trickles down the drain. Then he speaks.

"I, I can see you! I mean I can't, but I can!" He starts to smile and the sight almost brings me to tears. "Ow smiling hurts" he exclaims.

"Ok kid, you're going to have to elaborate, what do you mean you can see me but you can't?"

"I can see the light from the window shining on your face, I can see that there's a window there" he points, "and that there's a dark room, probably a bathroom over there," he points again, "I can see two maybe three sillohettes right there and, and I can see you. Oh Daniel, you're the fuzziest person alive but I can see you!" He reaches out and flings his arms around me. "Give me that damned hot chocolate Daniel! Give it to me now!" He laughs maniacally.

I begin to laugh too, pausing only to say"watch your mouth Eden" and then continuing on. Dr. Jameson and her assistants are looking at us like we're crazy, we just lost our remaining parent and brother in a fire that half blinded one of us and here we are cracking up over a cup hot chocolate.

Dr. Jameson clears her throat and tries to say "next on the agenda is..." but we stop her.

"Please for the love of god woman, leave us alone for just one damned minute!" I exclaim. This makes Eden laugh harder because I just told him to watch his mouth for saying the same thing. We're hysterical. "One, one moment," I say trying to catch my breath. "I need to call June back here and tell her the good news."

I take out my phone and call her. "Hello?" She sounds tired and worried and I feel bad, we all slept in that one tiny bed last night and I don't think either of us got very good sleep.

But for now, I push my worries away "June, get you ass upstairs, it's a party in here!"

"Can he see!" She practically squeals

"Well kind of, not really, but it's better than we expected, also we're about to get high on hot chocolate. You better get up here fast!"

"Ok I'm going to finish paying for our burritos then I'll be up. This cashier thinks I'm crazy" I laugh

"Ok see you soon!" We hang up and I ask the doctors who are still standing in the corner awkwardly to kindly, please leave.

"But we need to talk abo-" I cut her off

"Is it a pressing matter? Will it affect us in any way if we deal with it later?"

She sighs "No but-"

"Does it directly affect my brothers health, physical or mental in any way?"

"...no" she says obviously annoyed

"Then please. Leave. The. Room. Let us have at least something happy today, yeah? I guarantee that the 'next thing on the agenda' will make him," I point at Eden who's grinning despite his earlier claim that smiling hurts, "less happy than he is right now. See that adorable smile?" I'm holding in my laugh so hard right now, "Have you put that adorable smile on his adorable face once? No. Leave it to me, I'll keep it there."

"Fine," she sighs "but I ask you not to get the patient too riled up, it may affect his heart monitor" Eden snickers from the bed.

"Fine, but now shoo. Shoo! Shoo!" I usher her out of the room. When she finally closes the door, I can't hold my laughs back anymore. I'm cracking up on Edens bed, it's harder than I've laughed in a while. "Adorable face!" I can't breath, "adorable face my ass. You have the face of a devil"

"Heyyyy I am adorable and everyone knows it!" He cackles and lays his head down beside me.

June walks in and exclaims, "Day, what on earth did you do!? I just walked past Dr. Jameson in the hallway and it looks like someone pushed that stick even further up her ass!" We are all cackling and laughing harder than we've ever laughed before.

"Yeah Dayyyy, what on earth did you do?" Eden teases.

"Hey you know only June gets to call me Day,"

"Day, Day, Day"

"Fine, if you call me Day then I have the right to call you Adam and Eve."

He gasps, pretending to be offended, "That is the worst pun in the history of puns!"

"Hey! It wasn't that bad" I whine

"Stop your bickering boys and come get the soggy 5 dollar breakfast burritos I got for us" June giggles. I walk over to the table where she set them down and grab mine and Eden's, placing his in his outstretched hand when I get back to the bed. I'm about to ask him if he needs help opening it but I decide to not wound his pride.

I watch him struggle, his tongue sticking out of the side of his mouth and when he finally opens it he grins. He leans down to take a bite...and completely misses his mouth. I'm rolling around laughing again, harder than last time and Eden just stares strait ahead.

"I, I missed. I freaking missed my mouth!" June is cracking up too and Eden is dumbfounded. "You guys are the meanest people I have ever met! I'm blind, have a little sympathy," but as he says this he begins to laugh too.

Just then the door opens and Dr. Jameson as well as some other woman walk in. "I am sorry to interrupt, I know you where enjoying yourselves," she glances at me, "but she is here and has a tight schedule, we need to do this now."

She gestures and the other woman steps forward. "Hello I am a social worker, my name is Michelle and I am here to talk about who gets custody of Eden Bataar Wing." I'm not laughing anymore.
