Josh pov

"Want me to make dinner?" I asked, me and miranda are laying in bed hidden under the covers. "But then we have to get up and dressed" she smirked "you don't have to" i kissed the tip of her nose and stood up out of bed, "I'm coming with you anyways" she giggled and stood up as well.

After we got re-dressed we made our way downstairs, "what would you like?" I asked "are you an option" she smirked "want seconds eh" i wiggled my eyebrows "what can i say, i haven't had enough" she pulled at the hem of my shirt, i leaned down to kiss her but we got interrupted as the phone rang. I sighed and went to answer it.

"Hello?" I answered without looking at the caller id

"Josh, you and Miranda have to come quick" my mom cried over the phone

"Mom whats wrong?" I asked worried and Miranda's head shot up

"Dan ran down the stairs and slipped and hurt his ankle. He's with a doctor now, the nurses say he might've broke it" she explained

"We're on our way" i said, Miranda was already putting on her coat and shoes.

"Alright see you soon" was all my mom said before she hung up.

"What happened?" Miranda asked as i grabbed my coat and slipped on my shoes. "Dan slipped down the stairs and might've broke his ankle" i explained. Miranda grabbed the keys and we were out the door. "Ill drive" i took the keys from her, she didn't hesitate, she just jogged to the passenger side door.

As we were driving i held her hand as she stared out the window. "I always tell them not to run up or down the stairs" Miranda spoke quietly. "I know you do, i do too" i rubbed the back of her hand with my thumb. "What if he needs surgery" she looked over at me. "Then he get surgery, and we'll be waiting in his room for him to get back once its over" i said.

She sighed as we pulled into the hospital parking lot. Once we got out of the car i held her hand again and we walked to the emergency doors. When we walked in we immediately spotted my dad, Sara and Kayla. "Hey guys, how is he?" I asked as we walked up "he's been asking for you guys" Sara said "which room is he in?" Miranda asked "room 17 at the end of the hall" my dad pointed down the hall, me and Miranda turned and were about the walk to the room when Kayla stopped us "Mommy, can i come?" She looked up at us. Miranda let go of my hand and kneeled down in front of Kayla. "I want you to stay here with aunt Sara and grandpa, okay" she spoke softly "okay" Kayla sighed and sat back on the chair beside Sara. Miranda stood up and kissed Kayla's head before me and her took off down the hall.

7, 8, 9... I counted the doors until we walked in front of room 17. I knocked on the door and opened it slightly, Dan was sitting on the bed, the doctor was looking at his ankle and my mom was holding his hand. His ankle was blue and purple and swelled up. "It hurts grandma" his eyes were shut tight. "Your his parents?" The doctor turned to us, "yes" i nodded "can i talk to you outside?" He asked me as miranda walked over to mom and Dan. "Of course" i said as me and the doctor walked out of the room. "Your son is going to need surgery, he broke his ankle from the fall. We're going to prep him as soon as possible then take him in" the doctor explained "alright, how long should the surgery take?" I questioned "no longer than two hours hopefully" he said and then turned and walked off. Oh don't worry, i have no other questions about the well being of my son... I sighed and walked back into the room. My mom had moved out of her spot and Miranda was now sitting there and my mom was sitting in a chair near the window "hey big guy" i walked over beside Miranda and ruffled dans hair a bit. "Hi daddy" he sniffled "how you doin'?" I asked "it hurts" he looked down at his foot and winced "the doctor is going to make it all better okay" i gave him a reassuring smile "okay" he whispered. I leaned down to Miranda's ear "they need to do surgery" i whispered to her, she nodded then turned her attention back to Dan. "Im sorry" Dan looked up at me then back at Miranda, "don't be sorry baby, accidents happen" Miranda kissed his forehead. "All that matters is that your going to be okay" i smiled as the doctor came back in with some nurses. "We need to give you a little needle alright" the doctor spoke as he held up a needle "no! Its going to hurt" Dan started to cry harder and he started to squirm in attempt to get closer to Miranda. "Dan, Dan its okay. Look at me okay, sit still and look at me." Miranda put her hand on his cheek so he wasn't able to see the needle "its going to be alright, their going to make you feel better" Miranda spoke calmly as tears streamed down Dans face. The doctor put the needle in Dans arm and Dan gripped Miranda's hand harder and let out a small cry. A tear fell from Miranda's eye as she watched the needle go into his arm. "Your going to start to feel numb alright Dan" a nurse spoke up "we're going to fix your foot up" they started to lay the bed down "mommy don't leave me" Dan cried "i cant come with you honey" miranda wiped away his tears "daddy" dan looked at me, "ill come as far as i can go" i said and walked to his side. I leaned down and kissed his forehead "you be strong for daddy alright" i said as we left the room, the loudest sound was the gurneys squeaky wheels rolling on the floor. "Okay" Dan whimpered "this is as far as you can go" a nurse told me "i love you buddy" i gave him a small smile "i love you too daddy" he said and a nurse put one of those laughing gas masks over his mouth and nose, soon enough he was out like a light. I stood there watching as they rolled Dan through two big doors into a surgery room. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair.

When i got back to the room my mom was hugging Miranda "he's going to be alright" my mom rubbed her back, "can we have a moment?" I asked as she looked up at me, Miranda broke out of the hug and wiped her tears, "okay" my mom gave me a half smile and left the room "he's going to be okay, he's out like a light and in surgery. He's strong" i hugged her "He's hurting and i cant help him" she cried into my shirt "there are going to be times in the kids lives where something is going to happen and neither of us can help, one of those times just happens to be now" i sat down in a chair and pulled her into my lap. "Now when did you become so wise" she gave a small chuckle "when i first held them" i smiled and kissed her head. She laid her head on my shoulder and calmed down.
