Not So Different

I can't believe that insufferable prick. He was so rude and I just couldn't stand it. At the end of the day I took off and went home immediately with one thought on my mind. Carter.

It was about time I visited him I'm just not over the fear of losing him completely yet. I know I might we only have two months then we're pulling the plug at least that's what the doctors are saying. I'm scared not just for him but for Aurora and Carter too I don't even want to imagine how rough it will be for them to grow up without a dad.

I ran inside the house the moment I pulled in the Nanny came out with my beautiful children. I had called ahead to let her know and she was fully supporting my decision. Before she came to work for me I laid the whole situation down and she didn't look at me with pity or anything she just replied with a that sucks. I laughed and I immediately knew she was the one for the job.

"Here they are freshly washed, dressed, and fed." She smiled at me brightly and I gave her a hug in return thanking her and letting her have the day off. She took off running faster than I thought she would.

I buckled up the kids and drove the 20 minute drive to the hospital in silence as the radio played silently. It took a whole seeing as every traffic light was either against me or with me since every time I came to one it turned red and I had to stop. I was thankful that I would be putting the issue aside for the moment but I was also mad that the drive would be longer and this would all drag out. It always took a lot out of me to see carter laying in that bed so weak and helpless so unlike the guy I knew.

I thought about that as I pulled up to the hospital and put the kids in their stroller. I knew the way to his room by heart and I didn't need anyone's help I was fine all on my own. When I came to the door I took a deep breath and walked in. There he lay still as ever my sleeping beauty. I laughed at the thought of it all. He would have called himself a beast and I would have argued that he wasn't even in the story leading to a whole bunch of that's a lie and I can prove it happening. Its happened before I think he mixed Rumpelstiltskin and Cinderella's story together which I still couldn't figure out how he'd managed that.

I lay the kids with their father and instantly aurora played her self on him her arms going as far as they could seeing as they were so small and cute and carter stared at him before poking his face and laying beside aurora. I ran to the hall and called a nurse to take a picture of us. She instantly agreed and walked in I guess she was expecting a conscious patient seeing how as soon as her eyes laid on him her expression faltered for just a second. I don't think she knew that I caught it and I decide to leave it that way. I thanked her when she finished but just as she turned to leave my stomach decided it was okay to growl like a lion and tiger were fighting in my stomach.

I felt my cheeks heat up as she turned around slowly." Honey I know that that boy right there didn't make that noise and them two little angels are already nodding off. You need to eat." She said demandingly she pulled out $20 from her pocket and handed them to me. I instantly began to object the money but she just shook her head." I don't think that boy would be happy if he knew you were starving yourself now you go get something to eat and I'll watch your siblings." I smiled ashamedly but I was happy she thought they were my siblings I slipped past her and ran down to the cafeteria to get some food real quick. I bought a coke, a small burger, and a bag of chips before rushing back to the elevator to get back to my kids and carter.

When the elevator dinged signalling I was on right floor I just about ran back to the room but stopped instantly as I saw Alex. Oh no oh god he can not be here he just can't . I began to panic and I crept over slowly and quietly. "What are you doing?" He said looking at the very nice nurse incredulously.

She just looked at him calmly." I sent these kids sibling to go get something to eat poor thing she was starving I could've heard her all the way down the hall if I tried. And why are you asking me questions when there is only one important question. What are you doing outside the house without your house arrest anklet?" My eyebrow rose instantly nice-lady-nurse-say-what-now. He just looked at her sheepishly." Sorry mam, I forgot I was on house arrest." He said in a way that seemed like he was questioning it himself.

"Mhmm." Was all she said as she raised a critical eyebrow at him.

He just shrugged." Alright I'm going home. I'm going home, I'll see you later mom." He said as he took off running in my direction I instantly tried to hide my body so he wouldn't see me.
