After Paul dropped all the girls off, he headed to the nearest sporting goods store for some golfing items. He had no idea what to look for so he went seeking help. He found a young sales associate and started asking questions.
Paul finally gave up and settled on several gift certificates. He had also seen a set of gold golf club earrings so he put them in his basket and headed to the checkout counter. After paying and leaving, he headed to the mall. Tommy loved dark chocolate so Paul bought all the dark chocolate he could find. The last stop was the florist shop. After ordering three dozen mixed roses, Paul headed home to shower and change.
He had asked the hospital to let him take Tommy out for dinner. After getting permission, he reserved Tommy's favorite restaurant and headed to get Tommy. When he got to the hospital, he headed to the 10th floor.
Tommy ran to him crying. "Baby?" asked Paul worriedly. "What's wrong?"
"T-t-they t-t-told me I-I-I can't go home for at least s-s-six more weeks!" "I don't wanna miss the triplets first birthday!"
Paul calmed him down and told him he'd talk to the doctor tomorrow. "I have a special night planned. Do you think you're up for it?" "I'm going to take you home to shower and change first though."
Tommy's hazel eyes met Paul's as he nodded. "Yes."
When they got home, Tommy couldn't find anything to fit because it was all too big. He finally had to settle on a pair of old jeans and a button down shirt.
At the restaurant, Paul led Tommy to the dining room. "I reserved this entire place for the two of us."
Tommy smiled for the first time in a long time. He didn't want to go back but he knew he had to.
When Paul gave him his gifts, he stared at them. "Why?" "I'm not worthy."
"I love you, Tom. You're so deserving of anything I give you. I know it's hard for you to accept that but you are." Paul gently inserted the earrings in Tommy's earlobes and kissed him.
Later that night he slept for four hours without waking up or having nightmares.
