SWIPE AND HIT PLAY FOR MUSIC!
Gabby's POV
•€•
February 3rd

Justices face lit up the moment he heard we were going home. Mostly because he misses Prince. They're sleeping buddies, play buddies and trouble making buddies.

Honestly, thinking about it makes me want to stay in the hospital just a while longer. I can just imagine the picking up I'll have to do when I get home.

But the poor guy got so excited just to fall asleep.

So now I'm just laying in this hospital bed and rubbing his tiny ears while he purs. Every time I look at him, I'm just so grateful that he was able to walk away with not even a scratch.

My eyes wonder to the groans coming from behind the curtain. I want to get up and help Jordan pack our things but if I move, I'll wake him.

"Where did you put his crocs?" Jordan emerges through the curtains, fishing through the bag. I shift Justice into a more comfortable position.

"I think I left them in the bathroom. I'm pretty sure they're by the shower," I say and he walks into the bathroom. Seconds later, he emerges with Justice's baby blue crocs in hand.

They're a bit filthy from his time in the hospital playground this morning. I'll just have to wash them when I get home.

That along with a million other things.

Staying still for 5 days can be relaxing but at the same time, it can pull you so far backwards.

I watch as Jordan begins to stuff Justice's crocs into his bag. He plops his toys right on top of them.

"Don't pack them. He can wear them," I say. They're his favorite shoes. The only ones he doesn't try to take off.

"I have shoes for him to wear," he says. I go to speak but I stop myself. It's not often that Jordan picks out outfits for Justice. But when he does, he never disappoints.

Plus, the look on his face tells me that him taking control of the organization right now is therapeutic for him. He's been so on top of everything since he's been back.

"Okay," I take my step back.

He walks over and pecks my head. His lips quiver ever so slightly as he does. I look up at him and scrunch my nose.

"What was that for?" I ask and he shrugs.

"Just because," he says but I don't buy it. It's in his eyes. He still can't shake the fact that this entire situation could've been more than what it is.

But it isn't.

"It's 10am. You need to-

"I already did," I say and he nods. "5 minutes ago Dr.Palmer," I say and he shakes his head as me. I pull him back as he tries to pull away.

"Wait, come back," I giggle.

He hesitates before putting his face closer to mine. I lean into the crook of his neck and place a kiss on his collar bone.

"Just because," I smile.

He returns a small smile back before taking my chin and pecking my lips. His eyes light up a bit more than they have these past couple of days.

It's a sight that I'm grateful for.

"Go get ready so I can take you home," he says before ruffling Justice's curls to wake him. "Cmon Justice, Prince is waiting on you," he says and Justice nearly jumps out of my hands.

I laugh at how big his eyes get.

"Cmon, silly Baby. Let's get you dressed," I say and he giggles at me.
