whats best for the kids...? (crew boys polyx Oc)

nineteen- baby

Nicks Pov:

It's been 2 days since the incident with Harper. Clay went back to the house to get some stuff for Collie and a few things for us.

Collie is very young, but she's been saying things like:
"Harper sleepin'?" Or she'll be on Harpers bed next to her and say stuff like "Harper tired" or "Harper wake up"

She doesn't know what's going on, but she seems worried for Harper. Harper is her best friend. Collie is Harpers best friend. I know shes just a baby, but in a way, this is hard for her.

Ruth has been pretty non-verbal, if she's not asking the doctor to take more blood from her for Harp.

The doctor just left after taking more of Ruth's blood.

She has her head on Clays lap, Clay running his fingers up and down her arm.

She stood up, headed towards the bathroom and it felt like all I did was blink before she was on the floor...
"Ruthanna!?" I stood up, and quickly went over to her.
"Oh my god..." Karl muttered before going outside the room "we need a doctor in here!"

I rubbed my thumb over her cheek
"It's okay, baby.." I said to her unconscious body

A doctor and nurse walked in and saw her and seemed relatively calm
"She's gonna be okay. She can't give any more blood to Harper or else she won't be okay.."

Clay helped the doctor lift her onto the couch "does she like.. need anything"
"Nope. She won't be out for much longer, she was clearly light headed due to taking so much blood from her in such a short amount of time. When she wakes up, make sure not to freak her out or anything" he told us before nodding and exiting the room.

Everyone is as silent until Alex spoke up
"Harpers a fighter. She can do this without anymore blood donations... she'll wake up." He spoke slowly

I saw George stand up and lay down next to her, running his finger though her hair.

After just a few minutes, she began stirring, I heard a little mumble come from her mouth, and George was talking quietly to her. Nobody else talked to her, assuring not to frighten her.

"mh.. mo-mommy..?" We heard a mumble..

Harper.

"Babygirl.." Ruthanna said, immediately sitting next to her, her eyes immediately filling with tears
"Why cry mommy?" She asked letting out a soft cough afterwards
"I'm just happy, sweetheart" she said, kissing her cheek

Harper smiled before her face fell
"My tummy hurts.."
"I know, hun" she looked at us "can one of you get the doctor, please?"

George stood up, going outside, and coming back in with the doctor following behind him.

He smiled, and walked to the edge of the bed "Hello, miss Harper. How are you feeling?

She looked up at him "my tummy hurts" she said

He nodded and looked at Ruth "that's normal. I'll get her some more medication to help her with the pain. After a few days, she should be relatively healed up, and she will be able to go home. I don't have a definite time that she'll be able to go home, we just have to check on her and see how things are going" he told us all

We chatted about the situation for a bit before the doctor left.

Collie had been napping when Harp woke up, so when she woke up, she jumped off of Alex's lap, and adorably ran over to her bed, and hopped on to the bed "Sissy!!" She said, hugging her
"ouchie, col" Harper mumbled

Collie immediately pulled back, and looked sad "I.. sorry Harper.."
Harper smiled, and grabbed Collies arm, pulling her down gently, and hugging her in a way that wouldn't hurt herself, smiling into the hug

"You sleepin, Harp?" Collie asked, tilting her head to the side
"I think so.." she replied, shrugging

A few hours passed, it was now almost 1 in the morning. And everyone was still awake besides Col and Harp, who were asleep in the bed. Alex laying on my lap in the reclining chair, Dream and George cuddling on the couch, Ruthanna sitting in the chair beside the bed, and Karl sitting in another chair.

I ran my fingers through Alex's long hair, thinking about how any of this even happened.

Flashback
"Girls, are you down here alone?" I asked, walking into the house.
Harper nodded "You guys outside, mommy streamin" she said, putting her blocks together "can you get me juice, please?" She asked me

"Give me a second, hun. I gotta go give something to mommy" I told her and she nodded hesitantly, watching me walk upstairs. I went to the bathroom, and grabbed Ruth's meds from the medicine cabinet, and walked into her room.

"Hi pretty girl" I spoke cheerfully, entering Ruthanna's room, as she leaned onto the back of her chair.
"Hi baby" she smiled up at me.
"Here's your meds, I know you were streaming when you were meant to take them" I told her, handing her the pills, and grabbing her water bottle from off her desk, handing it to her
"Thank you" She smiled, taking her anti depressants, birth control, and anxiety meds.

she stared at the black screened monitor for a few second
"What are the other boys up to?"
"Karl and Clay are building the swing set out back, and Alex and George are trying to make sure the pool is like.. filtered or something. I was tired of trying to help Clay because he refused to use instructions" I told her, kissing her forehead

Back to normal time

"Nick?" Alex mumbled, looking up at me
"Y-yeah baby?" I replied, my entire body shaking
"Are you okay..?" He asked me, moving the hair from my face
"It's all my fault.." I told him
"What are you talking about?" Karl asked
"She asked me for a drink and I told her to wait until I came back.."
"Who? Harper?" Ruthanna asked
"Oh my god... I almost killed her.." I said, tears falling down my face
"Okay.. take a deep breath and explain what you're saying" Dream said, standing up and crouching next to me.

I took a breath and spoke up " I came in the house a-and the girls were alone.. H-Harp asked me to get her juice.. I- I told her I would, but I had to get Ruth's meds first.. if I just would've g-gotten her drink, she wouldn't be here" a choked out sob came out.

Ruth stood up "Nick, this is not on you, baby. This could've happened anyway... this is not your fa-" I cut her off by standing up, and walking out.

this is all my fault...

Holaaaaaa
