Ross' POV

Last night was a hard night neither me or Laura got any sleep. Laura kept having nightmares and crying. I cried every time Laura had a new nightmare it broke my heart to see her like this. I was staring at the ceiling when I felt Laura stir; she had finally been asleep for two hours with out any hitches. "Hey." I say softly as she opens her eyes.

"Hi." She smiles as I kiss her forehead.

"You okay?" I ask as she snuggles back into my chest.

"I've been better." She let's out a weak laugh. "But I'm glad you're here with me." 

"Hey anything for you." I say squeezing her tightly. There is a knock on the door and Laura and I look up  just as Laura's doctor comes through the door.

"Good morning Laura." Dr. Nancy greets with a smile. "And Laura's friend." She adds with a laugh.

"Morning." Laura and I say in unison.

"I heard about what happened last night; I am so sorry." Dr. Nancy says giving Laura a look of sympathy. "How are you doing?" She asks as she checks Laura's IV pouch.

"I'm doing good thanks to my boyfriend." Laura says putting her hand over mine.

"Well I'm glad to hear that." She writes something down on her clipboard and then smiles down at us. "I'll be back whenever your guardians come by so I can talk to them about your test results." She proclaims. We both nod our heads and she leaves the room.

"I completely forgot about the tests." Laura says frantically turning to me. "What if there is something wrong with me?" She starts to babble about all the things that are possibly wrong with her. I grab her face and kiss her to calm her down. "That was a really nice way of telling me to shut up." She giggles.

--Rydel's POV--

*Flashback*

"Wow today was a long day." Rocky says as we come through the door.

"Yeah no kidding." Ryland agrees.

"Ratliff you wanna spend the night; it is kinda late to go home now." Mom says turning to Ratliff.

"Yeah that would be great." Ratliff smiles at her.

"Well I'm off to bed." I say giving Ratliff a quick kiss on the cheek before heading upstairs. When I get into my room I quickly change into my pajamas then climb into bed and switch off the lights. I lay there for about an hour not able to fall asleep. I turn on the TV and surf the channels until I figure out that there is nothing good on TV. I turn off the TV and decide to go downstairs and make myself some hot chocolate because that usually helps me fall asleep. I put the mix in then pop it in the microwave. As I am standing at the microwave I think I hear a knock on the door but when I look at the clock it is way too late for someone to be knocking on our door. But then I hear it again. I walk over to the door but apparently I am not the only one who heard the knocking on the door because I run smack into Ratliff in the dark hallway.

"What are you doing?" Ratliff hisses at me in the darkness.

"I'm answering the door." I whisper back.

"It could be a robber." He replies blocking my path to the door.

"Why would a robber knock?" I ask and he puts his thinking face on.

"You make a good point." He says moving out of my way and following behind me to the door. I grab the doorknob and turn it. Ratliff and I peek around the corner of the door when we see that it is Bella clutching a sleeping Sofia we straighten. She hands Sofia to Ratliff who leaves the room to put her in a bed. While Ratliff is gone Bella bursts into tears.
