The hospital was place that the Pack was familiar with. From Alyssa having the twins to Mitch's recent suicide attempt, with Tori and the Alphmega giving birth and Kevin in a coma in the middle, they knew the hospital up and down. They have been on almost every floor so far.

Labor and delivery, cancer, critical...

This time, it's the suicide watch ward, the place that will decide if someone needs to a rehabilitation center or not. It is also will decide if one has a mental illness that must be treated right away, no whats, ifs, or buts about it.

"He lost about one pint of blood. After giving him the blood he needed, he was okay. Physically, that is. We will have to apply stitches on his skin. The babies are okay too."

Tori took a sigh of relief, so grateful that Mitch was okay. Avi nodded, holding his wife and Jordyn close. Kevin and Alyssa came home about five minutes after Mitch was escorted to the hospital, watching Ben, Jessi, Erik, and Ariel while Avi and Tori went to the hospital. Melody and Jordyn went with them, wanting to see Mitchy.

"I'm afraid I have some bad news though."

"What are they?" Avi asked softly, wanting to see Mitch already. The Alphmega has been gone for almost four hours and Avi missed him terribly. "How bad are they?"

"I ran some tests on Mitchell, two of those being depression and anxiety, including bipolar disorder," the doctor began, giving Avi a piece of paper. The Alpha read it over, widening his eyes at the results. "I'm so sorry, Sir. Mitch has depression and anxiety. I suggest you take him to a rehabilitation center. If you decide against it, I will prescribe him medicine that will keep the babies safe. Any questions?"

"How long will he have to stay at rehab if he ends up going?" Tori asked softly, holding Melody. The eleven month old had no idea what was going on and Tori was thankful for that. "Will it be very long?"

"I'm afraid so," the doctor answered, frowning sadly. "Depression and anxiety will often times take six months to a year, depending on the person. By the looks of it, it looks like Mitch will have to stay at the rehabilitation center for a year and a half to two years because of what happened in his childhood."

Mitch explained his childhood to the doctor, breaking his heart in the process. Tori began to cry, wanting Mitch to okay and happy. The Alphmega did nothing to deserve this and now he could be going to rehab for the longest time. He might not be there for Melody's birthday and that will break his heart. Heck, he might not be able to take care of the twins after he gives birth! This wasn't fair!

"What do you two choose?"

Avi sighed, looking at Tori with sad eyes. She nodded, knowing what he was choosing. The Alpha looked back at the doctor, his green eyes filling up with tears.

"Rehab."

The doctor nodded, writing something down quickly. The couple shared a look, wondering if they did the right thing. Mitch will hopefully become better when he goes to rehab, even though he will be gone for more than a year. It broke everyone's hearts, but it'll be best for him.

We're so sorry, Mitch.

Mitch woke up, his head hurting a bit. He hissed, looking down at his wrists. Bandages wrapped them tightly, causing him to raise an eyebrow. He looked around his surroundings, noticing the hospital from anywhere.
