**Megan's POV**

After laying in Brian's arms for a while, I eventually sat up and rubbed my eyes. The nurse came out and said that Roger was awake and looking for his wife. I breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from Brian's arms. The nurse led me to his room. She went back and asked the boys if they wanted to come, to which they all jumped up out of their seats.

We went into Rogers room and saw him lying in the hospital bed with his eyes closed. He was hooked up to so machines and I felt so sorry for him. It hurt me so much to see Roger in any pain.

He opened his eyes and looked directly at me, locking eyes with me. It took him a few minutes to realise who it was. "Megan!" He said and tried to get out of bed. The nurse stopped him and put his blanket back on. He tried to sit up in his bed but he winced in pain, so he returned to his original laying down position. I walked over to his bed slowly as I knew he had a head injury and I didn't know how he would react. I pulled a nearby chair over and sat beside the bed. He turned his head and looked at me. I saw his eyes fill with tears. "Megan it hurts," he said. "It hurts so much." I took his hand and kissed it. "Its okay Roger, its okay." I told him, trying to calm him down. He closed his eyes and let his tears seep down his cheeks. The boys stood at the end of his bed awkwardly, fidgeting and shuffling. Roger opened his eyes and looked at them, letting out a loud scream and started thrashing about the bed. The nurse told the boys they would be better off outside. I tried to calm Roger down but it was to no avail.

Eventually Roger fell asleep and I left his bedside, exhausted. I was so confused as to why he reacted that way.

I left the hospital and arrived home. Chrissie ran out of the house and hugged me. "Megan! I was so worried about you! Where's Roger?" She said. "He had a fall at the concert and he's very badly injured." I said. Tears were rolling down my cheeks as I spoke. Chrissie brought me inside and sat me down on the couch in the sitting room. I hugged her as I cried.

Elly Mae and Aidan came out from the kitchen and jumped on the couch beside me, wrapping their little arms around my neck saying "Don't cry mummy...."

They stopped hugging me after a while and I knew I had to tell them about Roger. Chrissie decided to leave as Brian called my house and asked where she was. As she was leaving she gave me a hug. "Are you going to be alright?" She asked me before she went out the door. "Yeah I'll be fine." I said. "Okay well call me if you need me." She said. "Thanks Chrissie." I said, closing the door as she walked to her car.

I sat down on the couch beside the twins again and put them both on my knees. "Why you cry mummy?" Asked Aidan. "Okay, well, don't worry, but daddy is in the hospital." I said. The two of them looked scared and shocked. "Why?" They asked. "He had a fall but he'll be okay." I told them. They were upset at first but I distracted them with the television and by telling them about the concert.

It was about 1:30am when the kids fell asleep and I carried them into their rooms. As I tucked Aidan in he asked if he could sleep with me. Elly Mae saw me carrying Aidan into my room and she ran out of her bed and put her hands up, asking me to carry her too. I placed them into my bed, on Rogers side. They knew it was his side and they both held onto his pillow. I got into my pyjamas and got into bed beside them. They both hugged me tight as we all drifted off. It felt like they were the ones comforting me instead of the other way around.

The next morning I woke up and the kids were already sitting up in bed and talking to each other. I took them out of bed and down the stairs to get breakfast. "Mummy can we see daddy today?" Asked Elly. "I don't know yet Elly, I have to ask the hospital." I replied.

I called the hospital and they said the kids were allowed in. I got them dressed and put them into the car when we were all ready. I drove to the hospital and took them out. They took my hand and we walked to Rogers room. I found Brian outside the room. "Hey Megan, how are you?" He asked. "Oh Brian I'm not great. I'm so worried about him." I said. "Well, the nurse said he's awake and more calm today so I'm going to go in. Are you coming?" He asked. I nodded and we walked into the room. The nurse said she was changing Rogers bandages and we could come in after she we finished. Brian picked Elly Mae up and held her in his arms. She buried her face in his curls. "I'm scared Bian," she said, not able to pronounce his name properly. "Aw Elly it's okay. Your daddy will be fine." He told her. I watched Brian and I noticed he would be a good father. Aidan put his hands up to me, asking me to lift him too. I picked him up and held him as he wrapped his arms around my neck. "Mummy don't be scared. Daddy be okay." He told me. He was a very mature toddler.

The nurse let us in and I put Aidan down. Brian held on to Elly. Roger opened his eyes. "Hi Rog," I said, running my hand through his hair. "How are you today?" I asked. "I'm okay, still sore." He replied. He seemed to have improved over night. He looked at Brian and Elly. "Brian, listen, I'm sorry for how I reacted yesterday, I wasn't all there." He said. "Its alright Roger don't worry about it." He told him. Roger looked at Elly and winked at her. "Come here princess." He said to her. Brian put Elly on the bed and she went over beside him and hugged him gently. I sat on the chair beside the bed and put Aidan on my lap. Elly sat on Rogers stomach. She was so light that he didn't feel any pain.

Aidan wanted to say hi to Roger too so I took Elly off his chest and swapped her with Aidan. I hugged her and saw she was crying. "Whats wrong baby?" I asked her. "Daddys sick." She said. "But he'll be okay I promise." I said. She nodded and put her head on my chest. Brian went over to the other side of the bed and sat down. Roger was starting to complain with pain in his back so Brian took Aidan off his stomach and I called the nurse. Brian was holding Aidan on his knee. The nurse appeared and gave Roger some pain relief.

After a few hours Brian left and I put the kids at the end of the bed. They talked to each other to keep themselves occupied. "How are you feeling babe?" I asked Roger, holding onto his hand. "Mmm I'm ok...." he replied, drowsily. He looked at me. "Will I be okay?" He asked. "Of course you will. You just need some rest and you'll be fine." I told him. He was satisfied with my answer so he closed his eyes and relaxed. After a while he opened them again. "Goodnight my love." He said to me. "Goodnight Roger. I love you." I said. "I love you too." He replied. I took the kids off the bed. They were fast asleep. I picked them up and they were woken. "Goodnight kids." Said Roger. "Be good for mummy. Elly be my good little princess, Aidan be my good little man." He told them. The both mumbled: "Goodnight" as they waved and closed their eyes again. I kissed Rogers lips and went out the door.

We arrived home and I went straight to bed. I put the kids into my bed beside me again as I missed Roger. I didn't expect him to be gone for this long. They were fast asleep and I put the cover over them. I got in between them and they both pressed up close beside me, doing as Roger usually did.
