Fantasy Becomes Reality

Chapter 106

I woke up and Andy was still sleeping and so was my dad. I wanted to bring Andy home, I wanted him home and okay. I hated seeing him the way he was and it killed me.

"Hey." My dad said waking up and I looked over at him and nodded.

"He's going to be okay right?" I asked and my dad sat up more.

"He'll be okay." He said and I looked up at him and he rubbed my hand.

"I'll be okay." He said and I chuckled and sniffled at the same time.

"You're good at fake sleeping." I said and he smiled and looked at me.

"Can I go home?" He asked and I shook my head.

"You have the rest of the week here." I said and he clenched his jaw and ran his hand through his hair.

"I know." I said and he nodded.

"You don't." He said and I looked up at him.

"I'm terrified, and all I want is to hold you and Skylar and I can barely move. You don't know." He said and I nodded and grabbed his hand.

"I want to hold you too Andy. I want to go home. I'm scared. I do know." I said and he rubbed my hand.

"Never in my life would I have thought I'd have brain surgery." He said and I nodded.

"You and I both." I said.

"How's your wrist?" He asked.

"Don't worry about me." I said.

"How's your wrist?" He asked with a slight smirk, ignoring what I said.

"It's sore but it's okay." I smiled.

"I'm going to kill whoever fucking did this." He said.

"Andy stop." I said and he shook his head.

"No. I could have died. I could have left you with Skylar and Riley. Do you understand that could have happened?-"

"It didn't." I said.

"Riley?" My dad asked and we both looked at him.

"The baby." We both said.

"It's a girl?" He asked and we nodded.

"Why am I just now finding out?" He asked.

"Because I'm in a hospital bed dying." Andy said raising his voice and he calmed down and sighed.

"You're not dying." I said.

"I feel like it." He said.

"Shut up." I said and he chuckled.

"It's not funny." I said.

"I'm not laughing because it's funny. I'm laughing because this is fucking bullshit. I work what? Two days at my new job and I get into a car accident and can't go to work for another month? And then we have the baby. Honestly we never get a break. It's always fucking something." He said and I rubbed his hand.
