Travis pov

We were in the hospital for a good 4 hours, it was extremely busy and the wait for an X-ray was ridiculously long. After waiting for what felt like forever they finally took us to another room for results. Harper had only just stopped screaming and was now just whining and begging for Taylor.

The results unfortunately showed a significant break in her arm, it wasn't tiny at all so they quickly took us to a different room where we waited for a doctor to give her a cast. While we waited I showed her the cast colors that she could choose from. She just shrugged and cried, by that point she was definitely hungry and starting to get tired it was almost 6:30pm.

When the doctor came in and asked what color she again shrugged. She seemed like she really didn't care so I told them to do pink. Last time I checked it was her favorite color. They tried their best to straighten out her arm but she immediately started screaming and moved away.

After a lot of crying they managed to get the cast put on and even gave her a sticker. I could tell she was in pain by the lack of energy. Her little sparkle in her eyes had been dulled and she just looked hurt and ready to cry. I got her in the car and picked up some food for her on the way home but she barely touched it.

Once we got in she went straight to the sofa where she curled into a ball and just cried, begging for Taylor who just wouldn't answer the phone. I didn't want to send her to bed on an empty stomach so I left her on the sofa with her food in hopes that she would give up. I kept her topped up on painkillers too but I could tell that they weren't helping much at all.

I had never been more relieved to hear the door open and Taylor's footsteps.

Taylor's pov

"Where's my baby?" I asked as I ran inside. I saw harper curled up on the sofa with some chicken nuggets and crying but they seemed like they had gone cold a while ago. Her little head popped up and she reached over to me. My normal harper would run to me but today she didn't.

I noticed the pink cast on her arm and I could only Imagine the pain that she was feeling. I could only stay for the night and had to fly back the next day but it was worth it because she clearly needed me. I carefully picked her up, not wanting to hurt her arm anymore and sat down on the sofa with her in my lap.

"Mommy is here." I whispered when she whined for me. I handed her a chicken nugget at she held it in her hand for a few minutes before taking a small bite. I continued to encourage her to finish it and eat a few more. "Okay do you want to go get your bear and your blankies or you can get daddy to go get everything for you?" I asked her. She pointed over to Travis who nodded and brought everything that she needed.

I reached into a secret drawer in the coffee table and pulled out a pacifier, knowing that it was acceptable to give her just a small bit of extra comfort. Because I was unsure on how long it had been sitting in there for, I quickly put it in my mouth to ensure it was clean before putting it in harpers and handing her all of her blankies and Billy Bear.

Normally this would send her to sleep in no time  but this time I noticed her eyes still filled with tears, one spilling every now and then. The pain must have been making it hard for her to sleep. I gently rubbed her back and instructed Travis to follow me.

We moved upstairs and I got all 3 of us into bed and tucked her in. Ellie had stayed back with some of the dancers so that she could do some rehearsals, especially since she hadn't done a show in a while. It was completely her choice and I told her that she could come back home with her  she chose to stay.

Harper turned over to face me, cuddling herself right up to me and starting to close her eyes. Her little broken arm was leaning on me and her hand was resting lightly on my chest. Her non broken arm was wrapped tightly around her bear, also gripping onto a blankie too. Travis had his arm taykong across us both protectively so I turned off the lights and closed my own eyes.

I only had one day away but I had missed them both so much. I didn't want to leave them again. Harper woke up a few times in the night in lots of pain but thankfully between myself and Travis we managed to calm her within minutes. I tried to take over as much as possible as I knew that Travis was struggling alone with her and would want as much sleep as possible before he finished off the fast of his time alone with her.

Thankfully despite a few wake ups in the night we all got a decent amount of sleep. Harper spent most of the morning sitting around and feeling sorry for herself. It just made it even harder to leave because I knew she needed me with her while she was in pain. I'm always the one that she chooses when she needs some comfort and I wasn't there helping her through one of the most awful pains she had experienced.

I tried to remind her so many times that her new cast was so cool but she didn't take me on board. In fact I got her iconic little eye roll a few times and also got her sassy face too. Unfortunately by lunchtime it was time to say goodbye to her again. She was quite easy this time as she was in too much pain to fight it but I still felt awful. I just hoped that it would be easy for Travis with her like this.
