Chapter 7

Andy's POV

"Pete, it's been a week." I sigh
" Saint and Declan miss you."

"Well I miss my husband. We don't all get what we want" he bitterly says.

"Pete, Patrick is better. He's able to breathe on his own. I'm sure you can leave for 20 mins just to show your kids that you didn't leave them!" I began to yell. Pete is stubborn but Patrick is even more stubborn. And Patrick wouldn't have ever done this if it were the other way around.

Pete sighed and finally agreed to come retrieve his little ones. Saint hasn't gone to bed properly since Pete dropped him off and Declan is crying constantly. I love them but they need their parents.

Patrick's POV

"I'll be back baby, I'm going to get the boys" Pete's voice echoed. I tried to smile as I haven't heard them forever now. I missed my babies. I just want to cuddle them all and see their beautiful faces. For now, all I see is an eternal darkness. I've seen light a few times but it fades really quickly. I've gotten stronger since the accident. Petes been a wreck. I miss his smile. I miss his voice. I miss his everything. I tried to open my eyes again. Once again seeing some light, but it fades. I've gotten very frustrated. I want to wake up. I want to see my family.

I tried to open them again.
Light.
I tried harder
More light
Even harder
I saw a bed
I blinked a few times to adjust to the whiteness around me.
I'm awake!

I was extremely proud. I'm okay... I'm okay... I'm not okay. My head pounded. My chest tightened. I was practically gasping for air. But I was so weak I couldn't move. Luckily I regained my breath. The room was empty, but it was okay. I knew Pete would be here with my boys. My world would come back to me.

Petes POV (triple POV oh my)

After leaving Patrick I felt horrible. What if something happens when I'm gone? Who am I kidding? He hasn't woken up for a week. He can wait 20 minutes.

Walking in to Andy and Joe's house broke my heart.
"Daddyyyy!" Saint screams and runs into my arms. I hold him close "hey baby boy." I smile
Andy comes and hands me Declan "take your spawns of satan!" He jokes
I smile and collect their things before strapping them into their car seats
"Daddy?" Saint asks questionably
"Yeah bud?" I reply
"Where's daddy?"
I sigh "we're going to see him now" Saint nods and we continue to the hospital
As we arrived I grabbed hold of Saint's hand and carry Declan. I slowly open the door as Saint runs in
"Daddyyyy!" Saint once again yells
"Hey baby" a familiar voice says
I peeked into the room.
"P-patrick?" I almost whisper

"Pete."
