I carry Jessie inside and set her on the couch. I prop her leg on 2 pillows. John eats dinner while I sit and watch Jessie. I play my violin quietly. John heads off to bed and I sit and wait for Jessie to wake up. At 2:30 am Jessie stirs and wakes up. She looks around for a moment and then let's her gaze fall on me. "Daddy,"'she says quietly. "Honey your awake," I say excitedly. She nods, yawns. "My leg is uncomfortable," she says pointing to it. I pick up her leg gently and rest it on my leg. "Better?" I ask. She nods. After a minute she falls asleep. 6 weeks later.

Jessie's POV "Jessie eat you chicken please," John says to me. I grumble as I eat a molecule of nasty chicken. I hate chicken. "Daddy doesn't have to eat anything," I protest. Daddy looks up at me and smirks. That's because he is a grown man Jessie, now quite whining like a baby and do as I say," John says sternly. I roll my eyes. "Don't get an attitude with John young lady," daddy scolds from the living room. There is no use for getting the last word. I grab my crutches and pick up my plate and put it in the sink. Tomorrow is my birthday, daddy and John say they have something special planned. I can't wait.
