Week after week.
It all moulded together as Beatrice got better day by day.
Simon and Brendan made sure she was never alone even if one of them wasn't attached to her.
She wasn't feeling with it in ways that made them feel the need to watch her constantly but they never told her that as she was getting better slowly.
They didn't want to say the wrong thing and push her back.

It was late as the long-forgotten TV played through the house as Beatrice slept on the couch as Brendan slept in his room and Simon finished up his shower.
It was peaceful as she fell into a dream state hoping tonight she would wake up remembering good dreams.
She had been having nightmares for so long that she lost count.
Some nights it was ok but never fully fine.
If she didn't wake up screaming it was a fine dream.
Simon walked into the living room as he put a clean shirt on.
He smiled as he saw Beatrice asleep before turning off the TV.
He grabbed a blanket that was thrown over a chair before putting it on her.
He then walked away to get to his room as the world stayed quiet for the first time in a while.
"Is she asleep?" Brendan asked as Simon walked in.
"Yeah.
She fell asleep with the TV on" he said.
"That means she's getting better," Brendan said.
"I thought you would be at the club till tomorrow," Simon said.
"I tried to go a few days ago but I couldn't stop thinking about her," Brendan said as he sat up.
"You love her," Simon said.
"Yeah.
I just want her to get better so I can take her out again" Brendan said.
"I think I love her too," Simon said.
"I'm ok with sharing her if you are I mean if she's ok with it of course" Brendan said.
"I'm ok with it," Simon said.
Suddenly they both heard whimpers before screaming.
They both rushed to Beatrice.
She was tossing and turning as her body trembled.
Tears were rushing down her face.
Simon placed his hands on her side before gently shaking her causing her to jump up.
Beatrice looked around before seeing Brendan and Simon by her side.
She broke down as she held Simon's hand.
"What happened?" Brendan asked as he sat behind her so she could lean on him.
"I went into the studio and you both were there.
I thought I lost you both.
It was so scary.
It felt so real" she said.
"Hey, look at me bunny," Brendan said.
She looked into his eyes.
"We're not going anywhere," Brendan said.
"You hear me.
We're not going anywhere alright" Brendan said.
She nodded.
"I'm sorry for waking you both up," she said.
"Never apologise for this.
Now come on" Simon said.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"You can sleep with us," Brendan said.
"I thought you both had separate rooms?" she asked before yawning as Simon ran his finger down her spine.
"The lack of furniture is still an issue that I need to figure out," Brendan said.
"But for now you can be in the middle" Brendan said.
"Ok," she said before yawning again.
"Sleepy bunny.
So cute" Brendan said.
"Let's get to bed," Simon said before picking her up.
She cuddled in his arms as Brendan followed.
Simon placed her in bed before walking away to get changed.
Brendan got in next to her.
"Can we have a lay-in tomorrow?
All we do is stay home anyway" she said softly.
"I was going to suggest that anyway so yeah," Brendan said.
Simon walked back into the room.
"Bunny wants a lay-in tomorrow.
I already said yes" Brendan said as Simon got into bed.
"Alright," Simon said before looking at Beatrice to see that she was already fast asleep.
"Good night," Simon said.
"Good night bunny," Brendan said before they both drifted off.
