CARTER POV

"Hey there babies." my Mom coos walking into the house. I was holding Noelle and Zora sat in her wheelchair holding Noah.

I really hated that for her. It kept me up at night knowing she was in this condition. I see the sadness in her eyes, no matter how hard she smiles, or if she's laughing. Even when she's playing with the twins. She wouldn't go out with me to the stores or anything like that. She doesn't want to be seen in that chair at all.

But on the bright side she started her physical therapy today, and in no time she will be okay. She's slowly but sure gaining feeling in her toes but not her whole foot yet.

"I'm going to spoil them so bad." she says lifting Noelle from my arms.

"Have you heard anything else about the shooter?" She asks Zora.

"Uh, my Dad finally got the model of the car, but that's about it as far as I know." she nods.

"Well, David and I finally scared the principal into getting us the surveillance tape tomorrow morning. Can't believe your father didn't think to ask for that. Apparently it would be illegal for us to get our hands on it without law enforcement, but we did." she laughs as she lightly pat Noelle's back.

"How'd you manage to do that?" Zora asks.

"I have my ways." she smirks. "How did the physical therapy go this morning?"

"Awful, I couldn't feel a thing." She frowns. I place my hand over her thigh. I know this was a struggle for her, and every chance I could, I comforted her.

"Everyone is praying for you." My mom smiles sympathetically.

"Thank you." She says looking away. Sympathy was the last thing she wanted from anyone.

"Well, I was just stopping by before I went to meet your father, and the detective he hired. I will call you if anything new comes up." She kisses Noelle and sits her back down in my lap. After kissing Noah's cheek she gave a final wave and left.

"I definitely have to get our parents thank you gifts for doing more than my own parents." She sighs.

"Don't mention it baby, you're part of the family pretty much." I give her a warm smile. She didn't return the favor as expected.

All day we did our normal routine; taking care of the twins, eating dinner in silence, and just pretty much doing our own thing. I was now in the den playing Madden as she laid in bed. I hate how distant our relationship is. It's almost as if we have nothing to say to each other. She's always acting all miserable, and downing herself like this isn't hard for me either. But I refuse to dwell on it.

"Carter?" she yells. I pause the game, and hurry down the hall.

"Yeah?" I stick my head in the room.

"I can't sleep. At all. So can you come lay with me, and like... ya know, hold me or something?" she looks down at her hands.

"Of course Zora. You know I don't mind holding you." I take my shirt off, and slide into bed next to. She turns the other way, and I pull her body into mine, watching her snuggle into me, wrapping her arms around me. I place a kiss on her forehead, watching her body relax. "I missed this so much." I sigh.
