Angel sits next to a sleeping Maddox with his cupcake in hand. He didn't want a birthday party if Mad wasn't going to be there so we are having it just us 3 at the hospital.
It's been a week and i haven't left his side. It's my fault his in here. Mrs. King comes by every night after school to visit and to convince me to leave. I found out his dad died 3 years ago in a car crash.
I thought she would hate me but she says that no one can control Maddox.
He's in a medical induced coma for his brain injury. They think he will heal in 2 months but i saw the charts, i think it will be 3. I had him moved to a private room. It's way better here for him.

Angel is staying with Jake because i honestly doesn't trust Emma to do it and Tony is busy with Lexi. Luna volunteered but she's going through her own stuff and i trust Jake. His great with Angel and Angel loves him.
I stop singing happy birthday and he blows his candle. "What did you wish for." He shrugs looking at Maddox and i know the answer. "I can't tell you. It won't come true." I nod looking at them.
"Well eat your cupcake before Jake comes to get you." He nods taking a bite after taking out the candle. "I want a picture but." He takes some frosting and puts it on Maddox's nose. "There."
I laugh getting my phone. "His going to kill you for that." He laughs looking at the camera. I snap the picture as Jake walks in laughing when he sees Maddox.
"His going to love that." Angel runs to him so Jake picks him up. I grab a napkin and clean his nose. "That's going up on the wall." I nod walking to Jake.
"Anything new?" He asks. "They are going to run some test tomorrow to see how his healing is going. It could be on track, better or worst." Angel shakes his head. "Better." I nod and kiss his cheek.
"Of course bebe. Be good okay, i will see you tomorrow." He hugs my neck before waving goodbye as they walk out. Jake closes the door behind him.
I sigh getting my bag. "Im going to shower. Do you wanna join me? I know how much you love shower sex." I ask looking at Maddox in bed. I walk to him kissing his forehead. "I thought so but it was worth a shot." I whisper walking away.
I let the water hit my face and the drops fall down my body. I hope he can just wake up in a few months without complications but there could be.
Every day is a risk and even if he wakes up theres not knowing how the injuries affected him until he does.
I get out of the shower and get dressed. I walk back out "you know, you didn't get a sponge bath yesterday and your starting to stink. I hope your not waiting for me to give you one because you can keep dreaming." I take the seat next to his bed.
"I will ask for one in the morning before your tests." I look at him and smirk. "I think you would love getting it done by a male nurse."
"I think he would, please take pictures." Mrs. King walks in give me a small smile. She pulls me up into a hug. "How was he today?" She asks kissing his forehead.
"Nothing happened." She gets sad. "But that's good." She looks at me. "Nothing is supposed to be happening. It means his healing like he should." She smiles and nods.
"Im not used to seeing his sit still. He has always been jumping from wall to wall. That's why we didn't have more kids. He was more than enough work. Especially as a baby, he counted for 3."
I bet, he is not one to relax and take a breath. "He will be back to annoying us in a few months." She cleans away a few tears. "But what if he can't move? Talk or remember? He could get worst and never wake up or die."
I calm my heart beats because those are my fears but she doesn't need to know that.
"Hey now. I got the best doctor on the case and none of that will happen. It's Maddox, he doesn't just let go." I say to her and to myself.

I laugh washing Snow white, we hate this movie. I look back at Maddox then back at the screen.
"Remember when we were in high school and Emma made us wash it so i faked being sick and you volunteered to walk me to my room? Tony and Jake were shooting daggers at us."
The nurse laughs taking out a blood sample. "Do you always talk to your husband? I think it's romantic." I sober up.
When i talk to him i always feel like I'm just talking to him but when someone else acknowledges it i remember where we are.
I turn off the tv. "Okay." I mumble looking at what she's doing. She gets her tray to leave. "Sorry i didn't mean to intrude. I nod "it's okay, you didn't."
My lawyer calls me again. "How is it going?" I ask immediately. He chuckles "well the trial is dragging but his lawyer is already sweating. James Knox has a record with you so it's much easier but your asking that they keep his looked in for life and that's hard to do."
I groan looking at Maddox. "If mr. King dies then the jury won't have any other option."
I interrupt "that's not going to happen just do your job. I don't care if he's locked up in a mental institute or prison i just want him locked away."
I hang up looking at Maddox. "How would you feel about a new lawyer?" I sigh turning the couch into a bed. They are basically asking us to wait and see what happens with Maddox to know what to do with James.
That's bull
Tony walks in with a crying Lexi. He looks like shit. He looks around. "Fuck your going to sleep."
I shake my head taking Lexi from him. "No i was just getting my bed ready." He hands me the bottle and she immediately takes.
He takes a breath of relief sitting down on my bed. "She hasn't stop crying." He yaws. "For 2 days."
Tony is taking Lexi to work with him because he doesn't trust Emma with her. That makes them argue and they haven't stop for a week now.
He does everything cooking, cleaning, work, everything that has to do with Lexi while Emma is 'Busy' studying for med school.
"She has a fever, i will get her checked out but i."
I turn to look at him but his asleep on my bed. I nod smiling "good night then." I say walking to the front desk with Lexi in my arms.

It's just a small fever so they give her some children's Tylenol. She fell asleep while they were still checking her out. I put her down to sleep next to Tony.
I take of his shoes before covering him with a blanket. I curl in to the seat next to Maddox. "Good night then." I whisper falling a sleep.
