The silver haired male swallowed his food within seconds from reaching the hospital parking lot. He always was good with food, and everyone knew it. That's why it's hard to understand the mind of food deprived individual. Not to be a mistaken with a low income life that it is forced on to you physically, but in the mind of an anorexic. Victor always loved food. Not to over eat, but he always enjoy his time at meals. He could not imagine a world where he would deliberately starve himself into a hospital, but he realized since it happened to someone he loved. That these issues are serious. People have these eyes that show a whole different spectrum on who they truly are. Victor will guide his lover every step of the way. To retrieve the blindness that took over his brain. So he can live a long life with his kid on the way.

These perceptions of the mind fled through thoughts as the muscular male finished up the last sip of his beverage throwing away the garbage into the outside hospital trash can.

He was away from Yuuri for an hour as he sighed, and strolled into the bright building with sick people everywhere. To the left were chairs with a kid crying to his mother. The mother was red eyed, and rubbed the back of the 6- year old. The kid was thin...too thin, but it was not anorexia. It was the fear of throwing up everything in your system from the chemicals that keep you alive. Well...keeps you alive for another day.

"I want to go home," the bald child gulped to his mother as Victor observed the shaking fear in the kid's eye, "I don't want to do this anymore."

The mother lost it there as the whimpering cries of mercy for a God who's not listening was heard, "We have to try," the parent gulped, "We have to fight together, my strong soldier."

"Like dad?"

"Like dad."

The silver haired man felt plague taint his heart as he exhaled to prevent the emotion from leaking from his eyes. It was a kid that was trapped here. Kids are supposed to go to school. They're supposed to play in the dirt, and laugh with their best friends. Not be trapped in a hospital losing hopes for a future. He was just a child.

Victor glanced to his right as he sighed at the couple who was sitting on the waiting room chairs. A boy was holding his gut, and the women was rubbing his back as he coughed in a trash can.

Right beside them was a Veteran waiting for his medicine because Post Traumatic Stress Disorder was preventing him from moving on when every airplane was a weapon, and everybody was a villain. When the night is never used for sleep because the night is where the attackers creep.

The silver haired man realized how lucky his life is. How lucky he is to be alive. Sure ice skating gets stressful, but when you see the possibilities up close. You become grateful for each undying day is passed.

Victor got permission to go back to his lover's room as he made his way through the hall. He froze at the gurney that rolled down by the staff of nurses and a doctor as they stopped as the man with the gashing wound was pale. His shaking hand was holding his gut. They tried everything to save the man, but they were too late.

The doctor cocked his head as the male grabbed the medical professional wrist, "A-am I going to die?"

The doctor glanced at the nurses with no emotion whatsoever. The beeping monitor was steady, but was slowly falling as the professional grabbed the bloody hand holding the seeping scarlet, "Yes."

The male nodded before glancing at the white coated man, "I have my wife in the waiting room. Please tell her I love her. That's my final request."

Victor witnessed death. He witnessed disease. He witnessed the world in a manner of an hour. The hospital is a place where people grow and where body bags go.

......

The silver haired man strolled in Yuuri's room after a couple of hours of being apart, "Sorry, sweets. I couldn't stay away all day," Victor blushed as the brunette grinned and sat up not damaging the IV in his left arm.

"It's alright. I missed you," the brunette beauty smiled, "So where did you go?"

"It's not where I went. It's what I saw, and I saw life in a nutshell."

"What do you mean?"

"I saw disease in the worse way. I saw death...Yuuri...Life scares me now."

"It scares me too."

....

Yuuri was released that evening with a menu and a check up for the baby and his weight in two weeks. He has to gain at least four pounds at the lease, or he'll be hospitalized again.

"Remember no exercise until you gain your weight, and only mild after that," Victor reminded his fiancee when they reached their home.

"Gotcha."

"How's the morning sickness?"

"Mild but I'm little nauseous."

"I got some anti nausea pills you can take from Dr. Ackerman. Then you can have some tea then go to sleep. Sound good?"

"Yes, love."

.....

"We're running out of tea," Yuuri pouted as he held an empty green tea box.

"We'll pick some up. Well do you want to come?" Victor smiled as sat at the kitchen table. The brunette was standing right in front of the muscular male. That's where Victor placed a tight but light grip on the small boy's hips as he leans in to peck a kiss on the bump.

Yuuri brushed, "Sounds like a plan...but can we walk?" The brunette beauty sighed and glanced down at his still thin build.

"You still didn't gain weight back."

"Can we compromise? We walk there. Get a cab back," the small glasses boy smiled, "Please."

"Deal."

.......

Yuuri enjoyed the trip by foot as the couple arrived at the store. Wide eyed brunette began to explore like a child. He never been to this type of shop. Even if he lived with Victor for a while now.

The small male collided with a blonde male as he saw Yurio standing up with a curse work, "Damn we got to stop doing this."

"S-sorry," the brunette replied.

"Looks like the piggy lost some weight."

The anorexic boy froze at the word weight.

"Shut the fuck Yurio!" The silver haired male stormed in behind Yuuri being the angriest anyone has seen him.

"What? I'm complimenting him," the blonde crossed his arms as Victor came behind Yuuri as a tower holding his hands to the small boy's ears so all he can hear is muffling.

"Look Yurio, Yuuri in anorexic and he is pregnant. That's why he was 'gaining weight.' He was pregnant!" The muscular mentor huffed, "So if you can shut the fuck about it. I would gladly appreciate it."

The blonde was shocked before nodded his head quickly and fleeing the scene.

Yuuri fully hearing was restored as his wrist was grabbed, and lead to the herb section.

Yuuri decided that he should treat himself tonight and put sugar cube in his tea.

He is one step closer to happiness.
