"Why?" He breathes out. "Because even if we are not together, I still want to know that you are always healthy." I can feel the tears in the corner of my eyes
He knows me too much about me and it drives me crazy. I want to give in, but I remind myse...

When I thought nothing could top drunk Lilah I was clearly wrong because I haven't met high Lilah. Who is currently poking me in every surface of my body she can reach while mumbling to herself how 'hansoome' I am.
"Lilah, darling, you need to eat something." I tell her, gently taking her hands so she stops poking me. She has been up overnight and is absolutely wrecked.
She gasps, an exited glint in her eyes. "Nuggies?" She asks and I sigh, taking out my phone.
"You got it sweetheart." I say as I order her chicken nuggets and some more things.
She cheers silently before slumping back in bed. "Don't know last time I eat nuggies."
"Yeah? How so?" I ask, rubbing her thigh over the comforter.
"Jackass not let me." She pouts. My fists clench, just thinking about that fucker makes my blood boil.
"Yeah well he isn't your boss or anyone to you. I ordered your nuggets." I tell her, offering her some water and brushing her hair away, making sure to avoid the bruises.
"Y-you're a doll." She says between sips before letting out a satisfied sound after she drank her water and hands me the empty cup.
Until we wait for her food she talks to me and I nod or reply to her, not minding at all her little rambling. I smile as I listen to her and nod, while she explains how much of an asshole boss she has but she secretly liked him.
"Really? And what are you going to do about him?" I ask, leaning on my forearms on her bed.
"No thing. He too pretty to speak." She says, munching on her nuggets that came just a minute ago. I also ordered her a burger with fries and milkshake, but she's too engrossed with her love to care.
"What would you say if I told you I'm that boss?" I whisper to her like it's a top secret.
Her eyes widen as she had the straw between her lips and they slightly part. "Reallyyy?" Her voice slurs and I nod with a small smile.
I brush her hair away from her face to let her eat without getting food in her hair. "Mhm. I'm your boss, your baby daddy and your future husband." I whisper to her, knowing she's too high to remember anything later on.
She snuggles her cheek into my hands and my heart melts. I kiss her forehead softly while rubbing my thumb over her cheek. "Once you're okay, I'll take you home. Maya and your mom are missing you."
Her eyes flutter open at that and a lazy smile takes over her face. "M-Maya." She mumbles and my heart melts that she at least knows our daughter even in this state.
"Yeah darling, our Maya." I say. She's staying with Delilah's mother until I can take her home, but will visit later so neither of them even accidentally bumps into Jackass.
He's also here somewhere with a girl who was in the car along with Delilah when the crash happened. Neither of them have a scratch on them which makes my blood boil so I made sure to pay a little visit to Jack or Jake or whatever his name is.
He won't talk for a while. Mostly from how swollen his face is but also from the missing teeth he got from my fists.
Delilah sleeps after eating and I stay by her side until the next time she's waking up, now conscious and no longer high on medication.
"Hey." I say as I lean forward on my forearms on the hospital bed.
She looks at me through hazy eyes and speaks groggily so I grab a cup of water for her. "H-hi." She drinks the entire cup and I offer her more but she shakes her head.
Lilah looks around, a little confused so I put a hand gently over hers. "You were in a car accident." I start off and like realization hits in her eyes cloud over.
"Jake, his mother and Angela...they were in the car." I nod.
"Don't worry, I took care of it." I say, rubbing my thumb over her fingers gently.
She looks at me, with a suspicious gaze and I just squeeze her hand lightly before the hospital room door opens and Maya rushes in, with Linda behind her.
Our daughter immediately rushes to her mother and tries to get up on the high bed. When she can't even reach the top with her chin I chuckle and lift her onto it and she climbs on Delilah.
"Careful." I tell her, gently holding her weight off Lilah's chest. Lilah kisses her head a million times, a few tears trying to escape but she holds them in so Maya doesn't start worrying.
I can't even imagine how she must have felt, thinking those were the last moments of her life and that she couldn't even see her daughter or say goodbye. She clearly thought that was the end of it, but my woman is a goddamn fighter.
"Okay. Let's let mama rest." I tell Maya as I hold her to my chest. We will be spending the next few days in here but I couldn't give two shits about it as long as it meant Lilah is fine.
I change Maya's diaper after a few hours and feed her before she falls asleep, now I have two sleeping girls next to me.
I play with both of their hairs while closing my eyes, relaxing because from now on I'll make sure none of them even gets a hair on their head twisted the wrong way.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Three days later I'm driving us back to my place, Delilah still a little out of it from exhaustion but it's okay. When I park the car in the driveway, I get Maya out and hold her in my arms before wrapping an arm around Lilah's waist and guiding them in the house.
Mase greets us excitedly and runs to Maya and Lilah, completely ignoring my presence. I roll my eyes as my girls greet him. I help Delilah to the couch, making sure she's leaning back and resting. Maya runs off to play with the damn dog while I take out the food Linda dropped off for us, reheating it and then giving it to Delilah.
"Come on, it's time to eat." I say as I blow on a bite before offering it to her. I let out a satisfied hum once she eats it, happy that she's not refusing the food. That asshole ruined my Lilah, but I'm going to take care of her from now on.
After she's done eating half of the food I put a blanket over her as we watch some movies, Maya passed out on the carpet with Mase next to her.
I feel a little weight on me and I turn to see Delilah's head lulling onto my shoulder. I pull her closer, turning her so she's half laying on me. I kiss her head and brush her curls away. She hasn't been taking care of her beautiful black curls, I'll have to make sure to buy some products for her and a bonett.
With her on me there's no way I can join the online meeting, in fear of disturbing her sleep. But a meeting is nothing compared to her well-being.
