7 months later. Lia is 1 year old, Mason 4, this is set on Sam's 8th Birthday.
Liv's POV:
"Sam, come on sweetie, we're gonna go see Noah." I call
The eight year old runs downstairs, "ok mom."
"Mason." I call
The four year old runs in, "yeah mommy?"
"Get you shoes and coat baby. We go see Noah." I smile
"Otway mommy." Mason rush off.
He reappears with Amanda just as Lucy walks in with Lia in her stroller.
"Hey Luc, we're gonna go visit Noah if you want to join." I tell her
"Sure." She parks Lia's stroller in its spot and then lifts out little Lia.
We head out to our van. I open the side door. I pull down the back seat.
"Alright, In you go Samantha." I move sideways
Sam jumps in, "thanks momma,"
"You got yourself buckled?" I ask now that she is not in a car seat anymore.
"Help?" She asks
I laugh slightly, "alright," I lean in and show her how to do it, "there."
"Thank mommy." She smiles
"No problem." I put the seat back up.
"Alright, Lucy you can put Lia in and hop in, mason go around the other side to Mama and she'll get you in." I exclaim, getting in the driver's seat.
"Ok." Lucy replies as Mason runs around the van. I hear both doors close and Amanda gets in the front.
"We ready?" I ask
"Yes!" Everyone replies.
I drive down to mercy. I park the van and everyone gets out. We go in and head up to Noah's room. We head over to him. I take his hand in mine,
"Hey sweetie." I whisper, "its mommy. I miss you so much. It's Sammy's 8th birthday today. Lia is one. She misses her uncle. Mason's 4. We miss you baby."
He squeezes me hand. I look up at him.
"Noah, can you hear me baby?" I ask
His eyes flutter open.
"Someone get Melinda," I call.
"I'm already here Liv, what's up?" She asks
"He's awake," I tell her
"Hey Noah." Mel walks up beside him, "I'm gonna disconnect the tube, squeeze your mom's hand if you can breathe ok without it hurting ok."
Noah nods. Mel disconnects the tube. Noah squeezes my hand.
"He's good," I exclaim
"Ok Noah, I'm going to extract the tube ok." Mel smiles
Noah nods. Mel removes the tube and Noah coughs. Mel hands him some water. He drinks it,
"Mommy!" He smiled weakly
"Hi my baby." I kiss his forehead.
"Noah! Your awake," Sam climbs up on the bed.
"Sammy. Happy birthday." Noah mumbles,
"Thanks Noah," Sam hugs him.
"Good to see your awake Noah," Lucy comes up beside him too.
"Thanks sissy," he mumbles
"Awwww." I wrap an arm around Lucy.
"Are you in any pain?" Mel asks Noah
"No." Noah replies.
"Nowah!" Mason reaches up at the side of the bed.
Noah leans over and lifts up his brother, "hi MaseyMoo."
Mason laughs. I chuckle at the sight of the three younger kids cuddled up. I take a photo and send it to the group chat,

I tuck my phone away as Fin and Phoebe walk in.
"Uncle Fin, Auntie Phoebe," Noah smiles
"Hey Bud." Fin laughs.
Amaya and her lot walk in, "Noah!" Livia squeals
"Livia!" Noah smiles, "Auntie Amaya!"
"Hey Noah, Buddy what's good?" Maya walks up
"Everything!" Noah laughs, "Auntie Liz, Uncle El."
I turn to see Liz and Elliot walk in, "hey Noah." El smiles
We all laugh around for a bit and catch up before Mel comes in.
"Well Noah, you ready to head home, we've run tests and you should be ok. Come back if any pain or anything out of the ordinary. Fill out discharge paperwork at the nurses desk. I'll just unhook all these cable's." Mel smiles
She unhooks the cables and removes the nasal cannula she put on him. He is helped up and into a wheelchair.
"Can I hold Lia to the car?" Noah asks
"Sure little Bro." Lucy hands Lia down to him.
"Nowah!" Lia babbles
"Welp, funny story for her first word!" Lucy laughs
"Yeah!" I smile
I fill out the paperwork and hand it in. We head to the van. The nurse takes the wheelchair back inside and Lucy takes Lia off of Noah.
"Alright Sam and Noah in the back!" I open the van door.
The two middle kids jump in the car. I put the seat up.
"Lia and Lucy, Mason go around to Mama." I exclaim
I hop in the front and Amanda gets in after both doors shut.
"Head count." I call
"Sam!" Sam calls
"Lucy!" Lucy smiles, "and Lia!"
"Meeeee!" Mason laughs,
"Mama!" Amanda smiles
"Mom!" I chuckle
"Noah!" Noah exclaims
"I missed that!" I call
"I know mommy." He replies
I pull out and start to drive.
"Mommmmmmmmmmmm!" Noah drags out the word
"Noahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" I reply
"Could we pretty please get ice cream?" He asks
"I dunno, who's up for a family Ice Cream Trip?" I ask
"Meeeeee!" Everyone exclaim happily
I laugh and drive to the ice cream shop. We go in and I give orders.
"Uh, one scoop of choc. A two scoop choc mint, a little iceman, 2 strawberry 2 scoops and a 2 scoop Vanilla." I order
"Sure thing, order will be ready soon," the cashier smiles and I tap my card.
We wait for the ice cream before eating it and heading home. We are finally full.
