(A/N)
So I'm early again, but I have a good reason this time.
I'm on my way to Honor Choir and I am slightly terrified.
Pray for me xD

Kevin drove for this trip, Todrick's hand on his thigh as he sat beside him.
He was sure to get coffee/tea for everyone before they were even ten minutes into the drive, knowing Avi needed some caffeine as this stressful week trudged on.
Suddenly, Todrick leaned over and kissed a spot on Kevin's neck, staying close to his ear to whisper to him. "I love you."
"I love you too, T."
Kirstie was staring at her wedding ring with a frown, and Avi noticed immediately.
He took a quick sip of his coffee and then set his hand on top of hers. "Are you okay, Princess?"
She looked at him with tears in her eyes. "I'm really emotional today. And yesterday. And the day before."
Avi smiled a little, giving her hand a gentle squeeze. "That's okay, honey. It's all for our future, right?"
"Of course. But.. I'm sorry you have to deal with my mood swings."
Avi scoffed. "Oh, please. Of the two of us in this situation, you are carrying a child in your body that makes you sick and moody. Your ankles are swollen, your stomach hurts, you have trouble walking and moving around... Sometimes you're just plain miserable. So if I have to deal with your emotions sometimes, I consider myself lucky."
Kirstie smiled at his attempt to make her feel better.
Avi continued, giving her cheek a light kiss beforehand. "Don't ever worry about me, baby. I'm fine. And you know if I wasn't fine, I would tell you. Or you would figure it out, because you're amazing like that."
Kirstie looked down at their hands, and although Avi was smiling, Kirstie's smile fell and she looked like she might cry again. "Can you promise me 'forever'?"
Avi frowned too, leaning into her side and pressing a kiss to Kirstie's neck, and speaking only loud enough for her to hear. "Forever isn't long enough."

Alex was on the phone with Todrick, having Todrick talk him through changing Scott's bandages and disinfecting the wound again.
He was being as gentle as he could, but at some point Scott jerked his leg away, making Alex jump. "Are you okay? I'm sorry, did I do something?"
Scott shook his head, eyes squeezed shut. He put his leg back in front of Alex and apologized. "I'm sorry. It just stung a little."
Alex hesitantly went back to work, finishing wrapping the wound, before smiling up at Scott. "Good as new!"
Jake was washing the dishes from breakfast, and Alex decided to join him.
Meanwhile, Scott stood from the couch to help Mitch limp down the hallway.
Mitch wanted to shower, but Scott knew it would be too hard with both of them slightly impaired, so he recommended a bath instead.
After stripping down without even the slightest falter in confidence, Mitch sat in the warm water that Scott had prepared for him.
Scott kneeled down beside the tub, holding Mitch's hand in the water, and setting his chin on the edge of the tub. "Does the water help your ankle at all?"
