Fearless ✔️

Chapter 27

There's a knock and I sit up some more. I would be free from here soon. I once again don't bother saying anything to the people knocking. The door opens and I smile watching the happy family walk in.

"Hello sweetie!" Minnie cheers as Brendon walks in a kid on each hip. "Hi Minnie" I smile and she comes over with a new bag of things. Her husband closes the door with his foot and only then sets the kids now.

"D!" Both yell attempting to stand and make their way over to my bed. "Hi!" I smile down at them as they give up and just crawl over. Arms now up signaling they wanted up. "Iss oo!" Marie yells. Brendon scoots a chair over and takes turns helping the twins up on it. They try to climb themselves but he uses his hands to hoist them up.

"I bought you some things" she starts to pull things out of the bag. The first one being a emerald green beanie. I had a few greens one but none like this. I liked it.

I put it on my head and smiled watching the way her face lit up. The twins were both standing on the chair using my bed to hold them up as Minnie took out her phone and snapped a a picture of me.

"I brought your black nail polish- I was thinking I could paint them for you if you needed me too?" She suggested and I nod looking over my hands. I could paint my left hand, but not my right.

One more week though and I'm out of here. With crutches and a cast on my arm. Some sort of brace to wrap my ribs, but my legs will be free! "Give him the last thing honey" Brendon smiles putting a hand on her back. She smiles handing me a box.

I look at it before looking at them. "What did you do?" I laugh as they smile at me and then each other super giddy and excited. "D! D! D!" Zack was yelling leaning over my leg.

I open the box my eyes widening at what's inside. "A phone? I can't. It's too much money. I can't accept this. It's my fault the last ones broken" I explain closing the box again.

"Please, you deserve to have something go right. We already transferred all the data and everything" she explains as I open the box again.

Turning it on the lock screen was still the picture of me and the twins sleeping. "Thank you" I whisper smiling at the picture.

"Ehhh!" One of the kids cries and both reach for me. "Can they?" I ask reaching for them anyway. "As long as they aren't going to hurt you" Brendon hums and I nod.

Minnie careful lifts Zackery up and he crawls down the side before getting on my lap. Marie is next. Squealing as she watches her brother get ahead of her.

She follows his path and both of the blondes crawl into my lap giggling and talking to me. Brendon leaned over to give his wife a kiss and she smiled resting her head on his chest.

"So romantic" I tease getting chuckles from them. "You're in a good mood today" Brendon laughs and I nod a hand going to children's backs as they sat up.

"Speaking of romantic... how's Lloyd?" Minnie asked and Brendon's nodded. "Oy! Oy!" Marie yells and Zack puts his hand on her mouth quieting her.

"Oy?" I ask not being familiar with the baby language. "Lloyd- we've all been taking about him" Minnie admit sheepishly as Brendon pulls up another chair for her taking the one the kids had used to stand on.

"Seriously though is everything okay with him?" Brendon asked and I nodded. "I like him a lot... and I kind of hate how much I like him. The amount of things that have almost slipped out of my mouth lately" I groan getting chuckles for them.

"Well why don't you let them out?" Minnie asks reaching over to rub the cheek of Marie who was staring into space. Zack was in between my legs playing with his feet.

"I don't feel like getting rejected that would make me sad. Plus I'd have to deal with drama or reactions. Whether they are bad or good I just don't deal with anything well" I mumble.

They nod Minnie leaving Marie to take my hand. "Well I'm glad you're becoming such good friends with Lloyd. I hope there's many others that come to terms with how great of a person you are very soon" she hums as I look at my hand with a smile.

"Well I have a few friends I think... a few of them visited." I try to make my life sound less pathetic. "Really!? That's exciting tell me their names- if you want"  Minnie cuts herself off making her husband laugh.

"So there is Jules.... I kind of rejected her a few days before I came here, so I was surprised when she came to visit me. She seems to be okay though and she gave me like 800 hugs" I groan wiping my face with my one good hand.

"Leo is really cool. He's kind of quiet, but he likes Ivana who is also quiet, but she's a mean type of quiet" I explain, both listening intently. "Ivana hates me and was probably dragged here with them"

"Oh-" Brendon puts a hand on Minnie's shoulder to quiet her knowing she would probably go off about the rude girl. "Back to Leo he's cool, seems nice and he worried about me the one day I was crying a lot" I suddenly remember getting worried looks from the both of them.

"Lastly there's Taylor. Best friends with Jules, but she also seems to be friendly with me. I think she knew I was gonna reject Jules. She kept giving the both of pitied looks- kind of annoying but it's all good. Anyways she's nice... more like Leo" I cut it short watching every emotion their faces gave away.

"Oh Lloyd asked me on a date- well I told him I wanted him to ask me and then he asked me and then I said yes... obviously" I quickly add. "Really!? Oh my god! You're going on a date!" Minnie cheers coming over to hug me over her two children who were using me as a jungle gym.

"I'm so excited for you- do you need an outfit!? Do you know where you're going?!" Minnie starts to pester me with questions. "I don't know anything I'm sure I can just wear normal clothes though" I chuckle and she nods sitting back down.

"Yeah we'll help with whatever you need" Brendon smiles as Marie struggles to stand. I give her my good hand and she holds it keeping her up on the squishy bed.

"Anything hurting?" Brendon asked cautiously watching the child in front of me. She giggles before wobbling her way against my chest. Marie was light enough the pressure didn't exactly hurt but it felt weird. "No I'm okay"

My ribs were absolute shit right now. "Are you hungry? We wanted to get you something other than hospital food" Minnie starts to type into her phone.

"Whatever you all want" I answer and she looks to Brendon. "I can stay here and paint your nails! While they go get food. Just so my precious little ones aren't inhaling all those fumes" she jokes moving over to rub both of their backs.

"Ma!" Marie giggles as Zack rolls over using my thigh to stand himself. "I can do that- I just need to know where I'm going" Brendon comes over and fixes the beanie on my head- messing with my hair first.

"Want me to just go and buy a ton of nuggets?" He laughs and this makes the twins pop up. "Ugg!" One of them yells setting the other off.

"Yes you want to go get nuggets?" Minnie ask taking Zack off of me. He nods putting a hand to his mouth. Marie follows crawling over until she's falling into her mom's grip.

"You want some too?" She coos and the girl nods both getting kisses from their mom. I watch wishing I had something like that. I pick up the box and stare at the phone. Thinking of how easily I would trade this in for a kiss on the head.  Pathetic... I know.

Brendon kisses Minnie once before coming to me. "Need anything else, while I'm gone?" He asked and I shrugged before thinking. "Can I have a Dr Pepper?" I ask and he nods looking back at Minnie.

"I'll get them milk, you want your lemonade?" He asks and she nods handing him the kids. After he collects everything he gives us a small smile and leaves. Minnie quickly goes to the window opening it up. I felt a small breeze and it was amazing.

Walking back to me she grabs the nail polish. Sitting down on one side she trails my dislocated arm and carefully pulls it until my hand is on her leg.

"Minnie" I get her attention before she can open the container.

"This might be weird and you can say, but will you kiss my head" I ask with no hesitation watching her face go from shock to laughter to a happy loving expression.

"Of course sweetie"
