Travis arrived home quickly after leaving the hospital being met with his mom and Colette sat at the dinner table eating whilst Knox was occupied in his swing.

" daddy!! " Colette called out, hearing the door close and immediately knowing who it was

" hey baby girl, are you okay? " she nods at him, as he says hello to his mom

" where are mommy and Noah? " she asks, concerned

" Noah is sick baby, so they have to stay in the hospital for a little while " he explained, receiving a faint nod from Colette showing she understood

" trav honey, would you like some lasagna and garlic bread " Donna asks sweetly, which was clearly what her and Colette had on their plates

" that sounds nice mom, thank you. I can fetch a plate "

He sat down beside them and began eating. He felt awful for leaving Taylor after their argument but he knew he needed to cool off and so did she most likely. He settled Colette and Knox for the night not long after before coming and sitting with his mom in the kitchen, grabbing himself a beer on the way.

" you okay son? you don't normally drink during the week " she raises an eyebrow as he sits on the couch

" meh it's nothing really, Taylor and I just had a bit of the tiff at the hospital " he told her, taking a gulp of his beer

" it's clearly not nothing if it's making you drink? Do you wanna talk about it? " she wanted to support him, she knew this wasn't going to be an easy time for them as a family

" I'm just so worried about her mom, and she just snaps at me every time. Saying I'm falsely accusing her of having an eating disorder again, but I'm not. I just don't want her to get sick when she hasn't eaten in over 24 hours " Travis admits

" oh honey. She probably doesn't mean to. You are both probably extremely worried and that's heightening your emotions. It's not easy having a sick baby and Taylor's been secluded to the same room for the whole day but she's not stupid Trav, she's not going to push herself too far again " Donna tried to see sense to both of them

" she told me to leave and I did. What kind of guy am I? I shouldn't stayed. Made it up to her "

" it's good you left. It would've just got worse if you didn't. You both just need air to breathe and maybe in the morning you can try and talk it out. After some rest "

" how can she rest though mom, Noah is so sick and we are both so worried " Travis spoke

" I know honey, but he's in the best place and he's going to get better, okay? " Donna reassured Travis

Back at the hospital, Noah had just fallen to sleep after a feed. The nurses were content with his sats for now and although he wasn't much better since they came this morning, he wasn't getting worse so that was something. Taylor was exhausted and upset, the argument she had with Travis was really getting to her and she felt guilty for snapping at him like she did. But he just never seemed to understand.
