Taking chances

Family comes first

*Elliots Room*

*Elliot had woke up around 10am just so he can have enough time to get himself sorted before making everyone something to eat*

Elliot: *came out the bathroom after brushing his teeth and fixing his wild beach wave hair. He then goes over to Carlos' room but he see that there was no one there so he heads straight to jasmines room.* well, well, well! What do we have here? *smiles from ear to ear as he sees jasmine and Elliot cuddled up with the biggest heart eyes looking at each other*

*Jasmine flinches a little because she didn't hear Elliot come in. She's just glad she doesn't need to worry about being close to Carlos anymore so she just goes back to cuddling with him while he speaks to Elliot*

Carlos: *was still smiling from ear to ear about having his girlfriend back* hey little bro! *sees Elliots sit on the end of the bed*

Elliot: *can see that something about jasmine's calmness while being cuddle with Carlos is different so he just had to ask* so, whats with all the heart eyes between you too? *chuckles as jasmine blushes a little*

Carlos: *kisses jasmine on the head then looks back at Elliot* shes mine! *very little words saying so much, making everyone fill with joy and relief that jasmine has overcome another hurdle in her recovery*

Elliot: thats awesome! *smile as jasmine and Carlos smile back* ...any requests for what i should make for breakfast? *looks between jasmine and Carlos*

Carlos: what you thinking? *looks down at jasmine*

Jasmine: *look up at Carlos* I'm not really hungry! *smiles weakly because she knows that the boys don't like when she doesn't have proper meals at any point in the day*

Carlos: *looks at Elliot with the same look of concern* how about i make a bowl of cereal and we can share it between us? *was waiting for jasmine to agree to his compromise without getting upset and feeling like he is forcing her to do something she doesn't wanna do*

Jasmine: *really didn't wanna have any food right now because it always makes her feel sick when she isn't in the mood for it* do i have to? *gives Carlos puppy dog eyes and a pout*

Carlos: *really doesn't wanna be a bad guy to jasmine today so he just looks up at Elliot* I'm gonna help her get ready for the day! We'll join you in 10-20 minutes. *smiles as Elliot's nods his head*

Elliot: alright, See ya! *heads out to get started on making him and Carlos some bacon and egg rolls*

*meanwhile in jasmines room*

Carlos: *turns his head to see that its already 10:30am* alright, sleepyhead! Would you like to go in the bath first or do you want me to take a shower first? *still had jasmine laying on his chest while they held each other close*

Jasmine: *thinks about the options for a minute then she looks up at Carlos* ill go! I always take forever to get in and out. *rolls her eyes because she hates how much of a challenge everything is for her because she is still really weak*

Carlos: That's ok! What can i do to make it easier for you? *wasn't sure how jasmine felt about him seeing her body if he was to help her get in and out of the bath or wash her hair. He is being very careful because of how much memory jasmine has lost from her accident*

Jasmine: *was a little nervous about Carlos seeing her body but she is trying not to let her insecurities get to her now that she knows about Carlos being her boyfriend. Part of her is thinking that Carlos must have already seen her body so that kinda helps make the situation a little easier* could you help me find and outfit and get all my bathroom stuff and put it to the side for when I'm done? *looks up at Carlos nervously*

Carlos: of course! Ill go start the water running then you can tell me what you wanna wear today. How does that sound? *smiles sweetly at jasmine as she nods her head* ...alright! You're gonna have to get off me now! *laughs as jasmine playfully pouts. As soon as she rolled over so she was on the bed. Once Carlos was out of bed he stood at the edge of the bed just as jasmine shifted over to where Carlos was before* comfy? *chuckles. As he feels his heart melt at the sight of jasmine burying herself into the pillow he had used*

Jasmine: mhmm! *was a little cold without Carlos there but she settled for having Carlos' scent lingering on the pillow he slept on last night. She close her eyes and just cuddled into his pillow while he went to start her bath and get her towel and hairbrush ready for when she is out*

*little time skip to after the 2 of them were washed and dressed*

Carlos: *got jasmines brush then sat down on her bed right behind where she was sat so he could do her hair for her* do you wanna leave it down today?

Jasmine: *had her eyes closed because she was feeling so relaxed with the way Carlos was being so gentle brushing her hair* could you put in 2 braids please?

Carlos: of course! *confidently did her hair the way she wanted it as if he had done it a million times before*

*just as Carlos was helping jasmine into her wheel chair, they both heard Santana coming in the house*

Santana: *gave Elliot a hug then she saw Carlos and jasmine coming out her room a second later* hey! How's my grand-baby doing? *bends down to give jasmine a big hug and kiss on the cheek*

Jasmine: Still a little tired but I'm ok! *smiles up at Santana*

Santana: *smiles sympathetically* i see you two are back to being joined at the hip! *smiles at jasmine then Carlos. Her smiles of course turned into a smirk when she seen Carlos get all nervous and couldn't make eye contact with her*

Elliot: *seen the interaction between his grandma and best friend so he steps in before anything happens* coffee anyone? *walks towards the kitchen to put the kettle on*

Santana: *puts her beef with Carlos aside and goes to sit on the couch with jasmine* yes please!

Elliot: milk with extra sugar? *loves to make a joke about his grandma's love for sugary things like a little kid in a sweetie shop*

Santana: you know it! *smiles over to Elliot the turns to talk with jasmine and catch up*

*soon enough everyone was sat together in the living room having a laugh together. Then as always Santana asked to get a pic with her grandchildren so she can add it to her collection of photo's shes gotten of them all ever since Elliot and jasmine were little*

*Carlos of course was relieved that he got through the visit without Santana threatening to beat his ass. He was happy that she seemed genuinely happy when jasmine told her about how Carlos and jasmine are back to being boyfriend and girlfriend*

*safe to say that it was a very good day for them all. It got to the point where they were all talking so much that Santana didn't call for Kelsey to pick her up till after 12am. Kelsey wasn't bothered though because she trusts that Santana wouldn't get into any trouble while she was out. She couldn't help but make that kinda Joke to Santana when they were on there way back to the retirement home*

Santana: *went straight to her room because it was way past lights out hour for everyone* thanks again for picking me up Kelsey! *smiles as kelsey stands in the doorframe of the room*

Kelsey : no problem at all! Im glad you have a great time. It's good to hear how much jasmine is improving. *smiles sweetly*

Santana: yeah! Looks like I've got a little more time to try and make things work between Madilyn and i. *smiles as Kelsey smiles back*

Kelsey: cant wait to hear all about that tomorrow! Sweet dreams san! *smiles*

Santana: night! *smiles back then goes over to plug her phone in before getting ready for bed and sending a quick good night message to Elliot and jasmine, thanking them for the fun filled day they just had*
