they both fall asleep and at 8 are woken up by the doctor and nurse
Dr-hi sorry to wake you all up but her surgery went fine and there's a chance she will need to have another in about a week or so to put everything fully back together since this time it was only like a bandage
N-and here is everything that will need to be done once yall go home and before her surgery but we will need one of you to come with us to get it set up
L-i will
she gets it set up for that up coming tuesday because she wants it to all be done at once instead of her getting back to normal and then not being able to do anything again i hope yall know what i mean
back in the room
L-it's scheduled for tuesday at 4am since it's gonna be a 3 hour surgery
T-another 3 hours wth

G-your in the hospital
E-why
T-because you tore your ACL and had to have surgery
E-that's funny
they continue talking for awhile until angela come w everybody after everline isn't high anymore and they talk a little and then finally go home but tim basically carries her everywhere cause he doesn't feel she's safe on crutches yet. it's now the next day around lunch ish and tim went in her room
T-ready to go downstairs
E-no i'm so comfy you don't understand
T-you need to go somewhere else than your room
E-but i'm comfyyyy
T-im coming up in 30 minutes and taking you downstairs and me you and mom are gonna watch a movie and have lunch
E-okay
she sits up and hops over to her vanity and brushes through her hair and puts it up in a bun and cleans her face and she's not bothered enough to go back to bed so she just says there on her phone until tim comes up
T-why are you not in bed
E-because i wanted to get ready
T-you didn't even use your crutches
E-i hopped i'm a very good hopper
T-okay let's go
he picks her up and takes her downstairs and sets her on the couch

E-nothing i'm not hungry i just woke up
T-you need to eat something
E-i litterly just woke up i am not hungry

E-tinker bell

E-me either but it's all over my tiktok
they turn it on and watch it and when it's done she's asleep again agesnt tim and he also feel asleep
L-awh
she takes a picture and angela says she's on her way back with the kids and lucy says okay can you tell them to be super quite because tim and elle are sleeping angela said ofc. the kids just walked in
L-hi babies you all need to be super quite okay dad and elle are asleep so please play outside or watch a movie downstairs
A+R-okay!
they go outside and since it's fenced in and high nobody really needs to watch them truly bc autum is also 7
B-i'm gonna shower and watch a show in my room love you

L-love you to
Ang-how do you get them to listen to you i only have 2 kids and they barley listen
L-honestly i have no idea
Ang-how is she

Ang-oh poor baby
L-i know
Ang-well i need to go home to my family but i love you text me if you need anything
L-i will i love you to
angela leaves and lucy starts to make dinner witch is pizza homemade with help from autum because rico was watching paw patrol on lucy's phone on the couch with his headphones so he doesn't wake up tim and everline
A-what happend to elle's leg
L-she feel while play volleyball and broke it and has to have surgery so that's why people like grandpa grey and auntie ang is gonna be here a lot more taking you guys to school
A-will she be okay
L-yes she will
they finish's making the pizza and now it's done and cooked so lucy gets rico from the couch and texts bellamy to come downstairs but when he comes down tim wakes up
L-good morning
T-what time is it
L-6:30
T-crap we slept for a long time should i wake her up
L-no let she sleep yesterday was a lot on her
T-okay i'm moving her to a pillow though
he places her so it's like she was on him but it was a pillow and he gets up kisses his kids heads and then lucy
T-this is amazing love thank you
L-well i had a little helper
T-oo who was it
A-ME
T-good job baby
they all finish and tim takes rico up for a bath while autum showers and bellamy and lucy do the dishes. everline wakes up in straight pain and starts crying
L-elle what's wrong
E-my legggg
L-do you need meds
E-mhm
L-one second let me get them
she goes and gets them
L-here you go
E-how long until it kicks in
L-shouldn't be long
tim then comes down with autum on his hip because it was only 7:30 and he had put rico down
A-SISSY
E-hi autum
she jumps up on the couch and sits next to her
E-mom shouldn't it have kicked in by noww
L-definitely do you not feel any different
E- no
L-you can have 1 more pull but after that i cannot give you any more until morning
E-okay
A-can you braid my hairr
E-yah go brush through your hair
autum goes and brushes her hair and everline braids it and it looks so cute
A-look at my hair!
L-it looks so good you did good elle
E-thanks
everybody just sits around until 8:30 on there phones and autum watch's odd squad
T-autum it's time for bed
A-nooo
B-i'm going to bed to you want me to tuck you in
A-mhm
he picks her up and tucks her in and kisses her head after reading a book
B-goodnight autum
A-night bubba
he closes her door and goes to his room and plays music off of his alexa (the weeknd, adrian lenker etc)
meanwhile with tim lucy and everline
L-do you want some pizza
E-no i'm not hungry
T-you haven't had anything all day
E-i'm not hungry
T-you need to eat something
E-no i don't
T-everline.
E-dad will you just drop it
lucy who was sitting next to tim on the couch taps his leg and looks at him with a look "drop it"
T-fine.
everline who is now on the verge of tears says
E-i'm going to my room
T-how?
E-hopping
T-nuh uhh
he goes over and picks her up and carries her to her room bc she didn't bring the crutches down with her
T-where do you wanna go
E-my vanity i need to get ready to shower
T-how are you gonna do that you can barley stand
E-idk i'll figure it out
T-no come shower in me and moms shower there's a bench you can sit on
E-okay can you grab my shower stuff
he grabs her shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lufa, body soap
T-this all you need
E-yah
she grabs her pjs witch are shorts and a t shirt and gets on her crutches and goes to tim and lucy's shower and tim sets down all her stuff on the bench and leaves so she can shower ( her wrap is waterproof).
as she's in the shower she washes her hair and has conditioner in and as she's washing her body she sees lucy's razor and she tries to stop herself but she can't help it. she drags it across her forearm to many times to even count track. once she realizes what she had done she bursts out into tears and continues to wash her body to try and get ride of the evidence but it doesn't help. only makes her forearms irritated. after she washes her hair and gets out she doesn't feel like having to face her mom and dad especially after what just happened and with her being in short sleeves. after she walks out of there room she hobbles into hers and plops herself onto her bed and props up her leg and plugs in her phone. she decides to text her mom and dad in there own gc without bellamy
E-i'm going to bed goodnight i love you both
L-night baby sleep well i love you
T-goodnight i love you
meanwhile with tim and lucy as everline showers and tim comes back downstairs
T-lucy
L-i know
T-what do we do
L-i don't know i don't wanna send her somewhere for it because it can be traumatic i've heard
tim walks over to the couch and sits next to her and wraps his arm around her and she lays her head on his chest
T-how do we get her to eat cause it's not healthy
L-we need to find out why she's not and then reassure her about whatever it is
T-and how do we do that
L-i don't know.
T-we could try tomorrow before her surgery because she has to eat before then
L-yah we will do that
tim kisses lucy's head and they just sit there in silence both being to bothers by everything that's happend to think about anything. after everline texts them goodnight bellamy does to. it's now 10
T-ready to go to bed
L-mhm
T-you wanna shower tonight or tomorrow
L-tomorrow i'm to tired
T-go change love and then we can cuddle
he says with a small comforting smile she responds with the same simple heartfelt smile and changes into one of tim's shirts and her shorts and tim's in boxers
after lucy climbs into bed she's just there in her own thoughts
T-come here
he opens up his arms and she gladly accepts and rests her head on his chest with one arm wrapped around his chest as he's stroking her hair
T-i love you
L-i love you to
T-go to sleep my love
L-goodnight
T-goodnight
he kisses the top of her head and they both drift off into a peaceful sleep. only to be woken up by there alarm
