Fatherly Confusion

~Stable~ Chapter 35~

Today was the day Indigo is getting released. PTV and Andy are staying with us for a couple more weeks to spend time with Indigo and us.

"Griffin, can you get that bag please?" Alan shouted from the kitchen. Him and Jaime were making a nice for everyone, celebrating Indigo's return.

"Alright, lets go." Me, Alan, vic and Aaron hoped into the car and drove to the hospital. We said hello to the nurse who has been taking care of Indigo and went into her room. When we opened the door Indigo was half asleep with a TV remote in her hand. Her white and blue hair looked gross and I could tell she was in desperate need of a shower. I dropped the little duffle bag to the ground and went to wake her up, Alan left to sign the release forms, and Vic and Aaron picked up the few things we brought her.

"Hey baby blue, wake up" I rubbed her shoulder softly and she cracked open her eyes. She smiled.

"Hey lion." I loved the nickname she gave me. She sat up and stretched her arms out and winced.

"Are you in pain?" I asked.

"No, just sore. Ready to sleep in my own bed." She said with groggy voice. I helped her up and into the bathroom. I was about to leave when she grabbed my shirt.

"I haven't kissed you in so long. I missed you." Mt chest lit of fire at what she said. I grabbed her hips gently and pulled her close. I kissed her like I was choking and she was air. It wasn't hungry or lustful, or sweet. It was real.

"Will you help he change?" She blushed but I agreed. She lifted her arms up and I lifted her shirt above her head. She was skinny but not as bad as before. She had her back to me and she was looking in the mirror. She started at her self. She touched her hair and then her collar bones. Her hands floated down to her chest and over the red scar that was still healing. It looked out of place. As if a little kid took red marker and drew a line down her chest.

He eyes turned glossy and she looked down.

"Hey baby, don't cry. Your to pretty to cry." I whisper in her ear. She looks up and she only had a few ears fall. Her fingers traced the line and she sighed. She took my hand and placed if in her chest right above her heart. I felt its steady beat under my fingertips.

"I'm gonna be okay right?" She whispered.

"Darling you'll be okay." I said and kissed her check and right after that I heard Vic say faintly."I heard that." Which made us laugh.

I helped her get dressed and when we came out Alan was sitting on the bed staring me down. I swallowed.

"Daddy." Indigo exclaimed, saving me from the awkward stare down.

"Baby, how are you feeling?" He asked hugging her.

"I'm ready to go home."

"Welcome back!" Every one shouted as we came through the door.Indigo was in tears as she hugged everyone, but Austin was nowhere to be seen. We all moved to the kitchen and we ate lunch. I sat on her left gripping her hand from under the table, never wanting to let go. We talked about random things and somehow the conversation turned to her surgery.

"It hurt really bad when I woke for the first time after. It felt like someone took a chainsaw to my chest. You guys know that feeling when your sleeping and you feel like your start falling?" Everyone nodded. "Well i get that all the time now."

We moved to the couch and watched a few movies. I curled up next to her and she laid her head on my chest.

We sat there for a few hours watching movies. Until Alan had to wake Indigo up, who had fallen asleep, to take her medication. I sat there on the couch thinking. Not really thinking, my mind was blank. When they came back in the room I asked Indigo to come upstairs with me. Alan gave me a sideways glance.

We made it up staid and we sat down in her room. I instantly pulled her into a hug. She clung onto me tightly saying 'I missed you' in my ear. Holding onto her close and not wanting to let go.
