Just Want Everything To Be Okay

Chapter 24

Demi's POV

     The next day...

        Simon left for his first test just moments ago. The test is going to on his stomach, digestive tracts, and abdominal area. They have to check for defects, clots, and swelling.  The abdomen apparently is split into four parts so they have to examine each one individually. I mean I know my basic anatomy but that was news to me. 

    3 hours later...

        Simon is finally brought back from all of his tests. While waiting for him, Nick brought Delilah by for a bit and we all have lunch in the cafe downstairs. It was nice having a break from a hospital room just for a little while. Nick and Delilah decided to stay even after we finished eating to visit Simon. Dr. Troy rolls his him. Simon brightens a bit at the sight of Delilah and I, but frowns when he sees Nick. Nevertheless, he still acknowledges Nick. Sometimes I don't understand their relationship. They aren't best friends, but they aren't enemies either. I guess it's just a general love hate relationship.

         I'm the first one to speak up. "Did you get the results for the tests Dr. Troy?" "I did not get results today, but I demanded them to put on rush. This means that we should be getting them tomorrow afternoon latest. We had to do quite a few tests so they have to process onto one spread. I hope that's okay." "Of course that's okay. Waiting one day isn't kill any of us." Simon rolls his eyes. Typical Simon. Grumpy adorable old man with so little patience. Nick thanks Dr. Troy for taking the time to do the tests and Dr. Troy smiles at that. She also gives Delilah a cherry lollipop. She spotted Delilah eating the other day so now she sneaks as many as she possibly can for her. It's quite sweet really. 

       Simon's POV

      When no one was in the room, I tried testing out my voice to speak. It was audible enough to hear myself, but I don't know for sure if anyone else would be able to hear me. That's why I'm reluctant to speak. Also, I don't want to scare Delilah. A four year old girl doesn't deserve to hear a voice that doesn't sound like her dad. Kids get really freaked out at the slightest things being off. I think I'll wait another day try again. In the meantime, I've been writing my words down on pads of paper or using wild hand gestures. 

        As for what Dr.Troy told Demi, I'm content with it to be honest. It's nice having one day where I don't have to worry. I mean I probably will still worry and so will Demi. I'd rather be the one worrying than her. I see what worrying does to her. It takes my perfect wife and destroys her inside and out. She doesn't eat, sleep, or do anything except ask the same questions on a repetitive cycle. Based on her past history of illnesses, it's understandable to be quite concerned. She's much better now, but still continues to have to fight her demons to this day. I just want everything to be okay for all of us. I want us to be the happy and wholesome family that we once were.
