(bye i started a new dnf story,it's got abit of a darker theme so read the tws before you read it, but i like it )

Dreams pov:

i'm woken at seven in the morning by a nurse who gives me a bottle for ivy, i look over at the two sleepy bodies in the bed beside me and find that ivy is half awake with heavy eyes gazing up at her dad with complete love and adoration,

i quickly pull out my phone and take a picture, then sit down on the part of the bed where neither of them are lying and stroke george's hair in an attempt of waking him up gently,

"morning," he whispers looking up at me,

"good morning my love," i smile, he then look down to ivy and grins seeing how she's sleepily admiring him, "she so in love with you," i whisper, leaning down and kissing his temple,

"dada," he mumbles in agreement,

"ivy i have you bottle are you hungry?" i ask her now turning my focus to her,

"baba," she smiles as george sits up with her still attached to his chest, i hand him the bottle and he sits her in his lap then starts to feed her, as he does i order us food from the canteen before going dow n to collect it, i hot is both pancakes with nutella, a coffee for him and a smoothie for me, the line is quite long and when i arrive back ivy is asleep again, i set both plates and both drinks on the small table in the room and george gets up from the bed to join me,

"y'know yesterday when we were talking about moving back to florida?" he asks after five minutes of silence, shyly looking up at me from his food,

"mhm," i nod,

"are you still sure you wanna do that? because if you don't want to-"

"i want to," i cut him off, "the moment ivy is better we can go down," i assure him reaching out and stroking his soft thigh to comfort him,

"but how are you gonna find a team?" he asks i can feel his leg bouncing slightly with anxiety,

"baby, i've got a folder of emails from teams in every single state asking how much i want to play for them, i didn't bring it up because i though you were happy here, but we can move any place you want i promise," i say,

"thank you for doing all this for me," he whispers,

"i would do anything for you," i say to watching his face blush slightly,

after we eat i show him the photo i took of his and ivy and watch the biggest smile already across his face, i decide to post it on my private instagram with only people i know won't send it to the paparazzi since i hate when they publish pictures of ivy, i caption the post "daddy's girl 💞" and post it.

george and i then curl up together on the slightly uncomfortable couch i slept on and do out favourite activity, looking at ivy and pointing out our favourite things about her wich lasts us until she wakes up, and requests we sit in bed with her and watch tv wich of course we do.

it's around midday when a nurse comes in and checks ivys vitals then tells us they'll be taking her down or a lung scan so they can check on her progress but that she'll need to sedated first since it requires laying still for a long time,

"sestaded?" ivy asks piecing together that we're talking about her,

"sedated," i say, "the nurses and doctors that want to make you better need to take a special picture inside your lungs so they can make sure all your medicine is working, but you have to be asleep so the lovely nurse here is gonna give you a really quick injection that's gonna make you really sleepy, and you're gonna fall asleep with dada and me next to you then the doctors are gonna take the pictures of you lung and then when you wake up me and dada will be there," i explain gently stroking her cheek with my thumb,
