*Conrad's eyelids flutter open, and he groggily takes in his surroundings. He sees Devon, Irving, and Billie standing over him, their faces a mix of concern and relief.*
Conrad: "What... what happened? Where's gigi? Is she okay?"
Devon: "You passed out from exhaustion, Conrad. You need to rest and take care of yourself."
Billie: "Gigi's fine. Marshall's with her and he's managed to calm her down."
*Conrad tries to sit up, but Devon gently pushes him back down.*
Billie: "Easy there. Just lie back and let the fluids do their job."
*Marshall enters the room, holding a now calm Gigi. She looks at Conrad with wide, worried eyes.*
Marshall: "Look who's here to see you."
*Conrad's face softens as he sees Gigi. He reaches out a hand to her, and Marshall carefully places her in his arms.*
Conrad: "Hey, baby girl. Daddy's okay."
*Gigi snuggles into Conrad's chest, and he holds her close, feeling a wave of relief wash over him.*
Conrad: "Thanks, Dad. And thank you, everyone. I'll take it easy from now on."
*Conrad, still holding Gigi, looks at his friends with gratitude.*
Conrad: "I guess I really overdid it, huh?"
Devon: "Yeah, you did. But it's understandable. You've been juggling a lot."
Irving: "We're all here to help, Conrad. You don't have to do everything on your own."
Billie: "Exactly. You need to take care of yourself so you can be there for Gigi."
Marshall: "We can set up a schedule to help you out more. Maybe take turns watching Gigi so you can get some rest."
Conrad: "I appreciate that. I just... I didn't want to burden anyone."
Devon: "You're not a burden. We're family. We look out for each other."
*Gigi stirs in Conrad's arms, Conrad turns her around to face him. Conrad smiles and softly says, "Hi, i love you, gigi" *Gigi snugglesin the cutest way, making for a very sweet moment between the daddy-daughter duo.*
(Gigi giggles, and Conrad's friends smile at the touching scene.)
Conrad: "Thanks, everyone. I'll try to take it easier from now on."
Billie: "Good. Now, let's get you something to eat and then you can rest."
(The group moves to the kitchen, where they prepare a meal together, making sure Conrad is comfortable and well taken care of.
*After finishing their meal, Gigi starts to get fussy again.*
Marshall: "Looks like someone's getting a bit cranky. Here, Billie, could you hold her for a moment?"
Billie: "Of course. Come here, G."
*Billie takes Gigi and gently rocks her, trying to calm her down.*
Marshall: "Alright, Conrad, let's get you up and out of here. We'll head to the car and get you to home."
*Marshall helps Conrad up, supporting him as they make their way out of the hospital.*
Conrad: "Thanks, Dad. I really appreciate all your help."
Marshall: "No problem, son. Just focus on getting better."
*They reach the car, and Marshall helps Conrad into the passenger seat while Billie secures Gigi in her car seat.*
Billie: "All set. Let's get you both home."
*Marshall starts the car, and they drive towards Gomez, with Gigi finally settling down in the backseat.*
Conrad: "I'm really lucky to have you guys. Thanks for everything."
Marshall: "We're family, Conrad. We'll always be here for you."
*The car heads towards home, with the promise of rest and recovery awaiting them.*
