While waiting for Chris and Ms. Julisa to come back into the hospital room, I texted Cam letting her know I'd be at the restaurant tonight.
Cammy🤍: Thank goodness, Lastnight was so busy😩. can't wait to see you!-11:37am
Chris and I dropped Mason off at my moms since she actually called me wanting to watch him. I was grateful that she always wanted to spend time with my baby boy, they were super close now and that made me happy.
I could hear Chris and his mom in the hallway talking with the doctor, I just couldn't make out what they were discussing. Assuming that it was probably about Rylann and when she'd be released I continued to scroll though my phone. I'd look up occasionally at her to make sure she was still asleep, a princess bandage decorated her little chin, I felt so bad for her but I knew she was strong.
A few minutes later they were stepping back into the room. "So, she's going to be released tomorrow, but Monday I'll have to take her to get another cast on her arm." Julisa said sitting next to Rylann's bedside, Chris sat beside me laying his head on my shoulder before yawning. I could tell that he was still tired, so was I from going to sleep so late.
"If you guys need anything just let me know, I do work tonight, but I can grab some stuff from the store and drop it off. Just let me know what you need."
Julisa nodded and smiled. "You are just the sweetest thing! I don't think we need anything as of right now, but once I get home and settled I'll let the both of you know." She said as I nodded before hearing Chris yawn again.
"What time did you two go to bed lastnight?" She asked as I looked down at Chris as he sat up straight, rubbing his eye he then ran a hand down his face. "We got to my place at three, but didn't fall asleep until around four thirty."
"Oh my goodness, you two need rest. You guys can come by the house tomorrow when she's released, I might need a little help with her. Go home and get some sleep." She said as Chris shook his head.
"But, what about you?, so mean have you slept at all?" He questioned as his mom nodded causing strands of her brown hair to fall against her shoulders, she tucked her hair behind her ear.
I loved how concerned he always was for his mother and sister.
I thought it was the cutest thing, I recently realized that Chris would always put someone else first before worrying about himself. He was such a selfless and caring man, it actually made me like him even more.
"I have angel don't worry about me, I wake up when the nurses come in to check on Ry." She said as her gaze averted to Rylann who was still asleep. I already knew that hospital medicine really knocks you out, poor girl.
Chris nodded slightly before standing to his feet and stretching, pulling his keys from his pocket he held them out for me to take.
"Can you drive? I'm too tired to do it." He questioned as I nodded pulling the strap of my bag over my shoulder and standing up.
