I watched as Michael sat on the edge of the hospital bed, the doctor wrapping a roll of white bandages around his leg.
Willow slept soundly in my arms, as if completely unaware of her own wounds. She barely knew what we were doing here.

"All done." The doctor smiled, standing up as Michael looked at his leg with a tilted head. "You guys can be dismissed whenever you feel ready now. You should be able to walk properly in a day or two." She looked down at him and then at me.
"So just rest and eat high protein food."

He nodded, the doctor grabbed the clipboard and walked out of the room. "I can leaveee." He flopped down on the bed.
The smile on my face faded slightly.

"I'll be back, I have to go call Lily." I gently placed Willow on his chest, they looked at each other with tilted heads as he sat up and held her.

"Oh- okay." He smiled as I walked out of the room. I spotted the doctor up ahead, clipboard in her hand as she talked to a nurse.

"Excuse me—" I stepped up to her, she turned her head to look at me. Her face forming into a polite expression.

"Your highness, is everything okay?" She lowered her clipboard.

"Yeah- uh, I just wanted your advice."

"Of course, what's up?"

"Do you think it's safe to move?"

"Move? Like houses?"
I nodded.
"Well, he's pregnant and wounded; so I'm sure it would be stressful. But not necessarily dangerous. As long as you make sure he's always got a place to rest where he feels safe." She shrugged.

"I just know he's not gonna be very happy with me and I wasn't sure if that was like- good for him."

"Is it urgent?"

"Kind of."

"Then move. He'll be happier if he feels safe."

"Thank you." I smiled, she nodded and turned around. I walked back to the room, finding Michael lying on the bed next to Willow, both of them on their stomachs. Willow lying right up against him, Michael with his tail wrapped around her tightly as they both watched a show together on his phone.

Willow noticed me, lifting her head and grinning as she sat up.
"Dada!" Her tail wagged. I stared at the bandage across her eye, suddenly feeling like the worst parent ever as I sat down next to them.

"You wanna go home?" I asked Michael as he turned his phone off, nodding as he laid on his stomach.
"Can I talk with you about something?" I leaned on my hand against the mattress, holding Willow with my other hand as she attempted to shakily stand up.

His ears dropped against his head,"Are you mad at me?" He lowered his gaze, glancing at me from the corner of his eyes.

"No- nothing like that, sweetheart." I quickly said. His ears perked up again. "I've talked to Lily and my sister, and we've been considering moving." I ran my hand down his back.

"But I don't wanna move.." He sat up on his knees, ignoring the clear pain in his legs as he looked at me.

"I know, but I don't feel that it's safe to stay there." I looked down at the blanket on the bed, running my hand along it.

"You're not asking me, you're telling me." He stood up off the bed, crossing his arms and glaring at me.

"I just wanna do what's best for you and the kids." I sighed. Willow looked up at me with a worried expression, confused as to why Michael and I were upset.
