Alana was sitting up on her bed with Miguel. Earlier that day Sam and Hawk decided to visit. The couple were together laughing about something Miguel said when they heard someone enter the room. Miguel looked up with a confused look, Alana turned and immediately stopped.
"Dad?" she asked as miguel turned to her, "Hey sweetheart." Ross said, she turned to Miguel, "mig.." she started, Miguel nodded before standing up and nodding to the older man.
"how're you doing?" he started as he looked around the room. "Fine. What are you doing here?" she asked. "I got a phone call about your accident, I was so worried." He started, "you look just like your mom." he said making the girl look down, tears forming.
"When she was sick I would stay with her for however long she had to stay in this bed. She really was a brave woman." He said as he sat down. Alana nodded, "Was that before or after you turned into an abusive drug addict." she turned to him, "How many calls did it take for you to answer?"
Ross sighed, "Listen Lana, i know you may not think it but you're my daughter. my hope. i know i'm not the best dad-," He started saying before she stopped him, "Don't. Dad you can't keep doing this to me. I've been waiting for you to come back and man up and be a father. I've had many adults play that role for you and i'm sick of it. You think it's ok for you to stop by, treat me like shit, then leave. It's not fair to me. So whatever you have to say, i'm not listening so now you need to leave." Alana said with tears pouring, "Please go." she said looking away from him. Ross sighed, "It was good seeing you again munchkin." He said making her cry harder.
He walked outside to see Miguel. The boy looked up at the man then looked through the window to see his girlfriend wiping her tears. "You her boyfriend?" Ross asked, "Yeah. I am." Miguel said staring at the man with hate, his arms crossed. "You know, she's been through enough. So if you really care about your daughter. Don't come back." Miguel said with his arms crossed, "Yeah, noted. Keep her safe." Ross said, Miguel scoffed, "Always have and always will." Miguel muttered before walking back to his girlfriend.

After helping her calm down Miguel went down to the restroom as Alana was in bed alone. She heard her phone ring so she went to reach for her phone, She leaned forward as she tried to reach the phone
She heard footsteps and looked up to see Johnny and Miguel at her doorway. "What are you doing here?" she said to Johnny "Want the phone?" He asked, walking into the room. "Yes." She said gratefully. Johnny walked over to the wooden table and grabbed it, pushing it away from her. "Go get it."
"I can't walk. Even with the surgery I might never-" Alana started. "Quiet!" Johnny yelled, cutting her off. Alana looked up at him with wide eyes. "Never, can't...those are just words that are meaningless. It's time for you to get out of that bed and do something. You're not a kid anymore. This world isn't just gonna hand it to you. You want something, you'll have to crawl across the floor, use your damn teeth if you have to. You'll do whatever it takes. And I'm always going to be right here next to you. 'Cause I'll always be your teacher. Now go get it."
She nodded her head and pulled the blanket off of her. She pushed herself up, "You got this Lani." Miguel said making her smile. she used her upper body strength and leaned over to grab the phone and right as she was balanced and was about to grab it, she fell to the ground. "Ow." She groaned. "crap!" Miguel said walking to her.
"Oh shit. It's all right you fell like a champ. Nurse!" Johnny called.
