Ross' POV
2:30pm
Mom got to the hospital and walked in as I was reading. Riker and Rydel were talking but my throat hurt. "Hi sweetheart. How're you?" She asked. I shrugged "his throat is hurting mom. And his rash and mouth are getting worse" Riker told her. Mom nodded. "You're so strong though sweetheart" she whispered. I smiled slightly. "Mamoo and Papa are flying out. They're gonna be here tonight" she told me. I smiled slightly "okay" I whispered. I blinked a few times and mom held my hand. "Why don't you two head home? I'll stay with Ross tonight" mom smiled. "But I promised him-" I cut Riker off "it's okay. You can come back tomorrow" I assured, stroking his arm. He smiled and kissed my head. "Love you baby bro" he whispered "love you too" Rydel kissed my head "love you rossy Shor" "love you too dellybear" I smiled. She smiled before patting my arm and her and Riker left. The nurse walked in with the blood for my blood transfusion. "Okay Ross. Let's get started"
7:30pm
I was lying on my bed with my eyes closed. The door opened and I heard whispering. "Hey Stormie. How is he?" Papas here!!!!!!! "He's okay. Just tired and weak" she whispered back. "Awh. Poor baby. Any difference in Tumor size?" I heard Mamoo ask. "Not that we know of. It's just making him so ill. He's got rashes all up his arms. His throat is closing. He's got ulcers in his mouth. It's horrible" I heard mom say. "Oh god. I wish I could swap it so its me and not him" papa sighed. "Me too. But we can't. We've just Gotta help him through it" mom whispered. "I guess. Shor and the kids said they'll come down tomorrow probably" Mamoo told mom. "Okay. Did you both clean your hands and-" papa cut mom off. "Yes. The doctor told us to change our shirts and wash our hands and to make sure we haven't been around anyone who is currently sick" papa explained. "Thanks guys. Erm the nurses are letting us keep shirts here. They wash them for us to ensure that they're 100% clean" mom explained. "I'm not surprised. His immune system is at its worst" Mamoo sighed. "Yeah. The doctor said that even a common cold could end up...killing him" mom said, whispering the last part. "Which is why we're all doing everything we can to stay healthy" papa assured. I coughed a few times before opening my eyes.
"Hey sweetheart" Mamoo smiled. I smiled "hey Mamoo" I whispered, opening my arms. She smiled before hugging me. I hugged back as I nestled into her neck. She rubbed my back and we separated. "What about me?" Papa laughed. I smiled before hugging him. "How are you feeling sweetheart?" Mamoo asked as me and papa separated. "Bit nauseous. And dizzy. But I'm okay" I sighed. "Shall I get the nurse?" Mom asked. I shook my head "it's fine." I assured. The door opened and the doctor walked in "hi Ross. How're you feeling?" He asked. "Nauseous and dizzy" I coughed. He nodded "okay. You haven't eaten in three days so you will need to eat something" he told me. Mamoos eyes widened. I nodded "anything you want?" He asked. "I really want in'n'out" I told him. He laughed "could one of your family members get it?" He asked, looking at mom. "I'll text your dad. He's coming down in abit anyway"
Stormies POV
The next morning
9:00am
Mark stayed with Ross overnight and I was going down this morning. I was about to leave when I heard "Auntie Stormie!" I turned around and saw Bauer. "Hi sweetheart. What's up?" I asked, crouching down. "Can I come and see rossy?" He asked with hopeful eyes. "I don't know hon" I sighed. "Please." He begged. Shor walked over and I looked up. "He wants to come" I told him. "Is he aloud?" Shor asked. "At the hospital. Yeah" I told him. "Let's take him then. If it gets too much I'll bring him back" my brother told me. I smiled and nodded "okay honey. But first there are some rules okay?" Bauer nodded. "Firstly. You need to wash your hands and sanitise your hands before going into Ross' room. And you need to take a clean shirt to change into when we get to the hospital. If Ross is asleep we can't wake him up okay?" I explained. Bauer nodded. "Okay" he smiled. I smiled too as shor held a clean shirt for both Bauer and him. "Let's go then"
20 minutes later
We got to the hospital and immediately washed our hands and changed our shirts. "Clean aunt Stormie" Bauer smiled. I smiled down at him "good boy. Be quiet now okay?" He nodded as I lifted him up. We opened Ross' door and saw my son on his laptop and mark watching behind him. "Turn" Mark ordered. They were playing the plane simulator. I rolled my eyes "Hi" I greeted. "Hi mom" Ross smiled, looking up. "And shor and Bauer" he smiled. Shor smiled "hey little one. How you doing?" Shor asked. "M'okay. Abit weak and drowsy but yeah I'm okay" Ross smiled. "Did you have chemo today?" I asked. "Yeah. Had it about 6. Finished about 15 minutes ago" Ross explained. "Why so early?" I asked. "I was already awake." I nodded. "Come here B" he smiled. Bauer walked over and Ross lifted him up. Bauer hugged him and he hugged back. "I've seen you've been doing some diving" Ross smiled as they separated. Bauer smiled widely. "Am I good?" He asked. Ross nodded "you're amazing. I was shocked to be honest" Ross laughed. Bauer smiled "Gus showed me. He's really good" Ross nodded "he is isn't he?" He smiled. "What's all the wires?" Bauer asked. "It's just my medicine." Ross explained. "Like Advil?" Bauer asked. Ross shrugged "sort of like that yeah"
