*Dan's POV*
"You are a human with one life and its your job to make it the best life you can" I say. I just feel like she need needed something inspirational. For some reason Maddi and I share something. I like Maddi a little more then Stella. But poor Stella, she told me that now she can walk again the first thing she she's going to do is see Maddi. I keep trying to wake Maddi up, I tell her about Stella and how much she misses her. I tell her that Phil hasn't eaten for days. And sadly my depression is coming back. When I was 19 or so I had depression. No don't you dare say 'Oh Dan but its all in your head' No No its not. Imagine asking a crippled person to get up and walk.That doesn't sound very fun does it? Depression is like being in a hole and you have to hand scoop dirt out of the way to get back to the surface. Phil helped me through this. He mended my scars and looked past the imperfections that I thought I had. Then we adopted two girls and I was sure that my life could only go up. Now one of my daughters is in the hospital in a coma and the other is hurting. Not physically, mentally. We just gave then a amazing life and a way out of that hellhole. Then I had to go and ruin it. Real smooth Dan. The good news? Stella can come out of bed today and visit Maddi. "Maddi? I don't know if you're listening but Stella gets to come and see you today." Silence. Then her finger twitches.
*Phil's POV*
Stella is getting stronger and stronger by the day and today they're letting her out of bed. She wants to see Maddi. "How much longer?" she whines. "two minuets" I say. two minuets until Stella can see Maddi. She stretches and says "Phil, why are you so skinny all of the sudden?" i laugh a little and say back "Thats not something you ask your dad." her face falls and she says in a voice that means business but has care. "Phil. What's wrong." I look at her and start to cry.
*Dan's POV*
I hear someone crying. Probably a baby or something. But it sounds so familiar. I know that cry. From the middle of the night. Phil. I get up and run to Stella's room. Phil is crying and Stella is sat up and is hugging him. I run to him. My lion. I wrap my arms around him and he melts in my arms. "What happened?" I ask Stella. Her brown hair falls in her face. " I asked him why he was skinny and he burst into tears." I frown and then I say "Lion, everything is fine. Guess what? Maddi moved her finger today." Stella instantly gains hope. "When can i see her? I need to see her today." She starts to stand up and a nurse rushes in only to see her standing and fully functional. "Im going to see my sister" she says and walks out of the room.
