"Baby move" Ariana groans. "Sorry princess" he climbs off the bed making her pouts "Ariana you need rest and if me being in their isn't helping then you have to deal with that" he explains.

"Why did I have to get hit by a car" she huffs rolling over to face away from Malcom. "I wish you didn't" Malcom sighs. "What ever leave me alone" she says. Malcom rolls his eyes sitting down on the couch that was in Ariana's room.

"Did I miss the funeral" Ariana asks sitting up immediately in the bed. Malcom gets up and embraces her in a hug and smiles as he feels her relax against him. "No princess you didn't we postponed the funeral till you got better" Malcom explains "now I feel bad" Ariana sighs "don't be, it was a family agreement between your mum and Frankie to make sure that you were there even if it was by wheelchair" he says.

"My baby girl" Joan comes in. Malcom tried to remove his grip from Ariana out she tightened. "Hi mommy" Ariana smiles at her. Ariana let go and hugged her mum. "I'm so happy your alright" Joan sighs "I am mommy" Ariana smiles.

Ariana lies back down and wanted to cuddle into Malcom so he climbs back on to cuddle her. "I want to go home" Ariana pouts "baby girl you need rest and this is where it's happening" Malcom explains "but why this bed hurts my back and my bed is comfy" she pouts "well the doctor said that you have to stay here" Malcom sighs.

Ariana rolls over and hides her face into Malcom's chest and starts to cry. Malcom rubs gentle circle on her back while whispering sweet nothings into her ear.

"Why me" she cries "Ariana don't" Joan sighs "I wish-." Malcom interrupts her "Ariana don't do this to your self. Things happen and we can't do anything about them" he tells her.

Ariana starts to throw her arms about trying to get free from Malcom. "Where is the girl I fell in love with" Malcom sighs.

Malcom gets off the bed leaving Ariana and walks out to go and get a drink. "Malcom" Joan calls after him "I'm sorry Joan I just need some space. I've done nothing but be by her side but she's changed you might not see it but I have" he says grabbing a bottle of water and paying.

"Malcom" she asks "hi be with you daughter I'm going to see the kids" he sighs and she nods.

"Daddy" Ellie smiles giving him a hug "hi princess" Malcom smiles picking her up. "Mummy okay" she ask "mummy's okay" he smiles kissing her check. "Well daddy sad so mummy not alright" she asks "mummy's just getting really annoyed that's all" he smiles at her and she nods. "I made mummy a card" she giggles getting down and directing him to the front room.

"Hi mum" Malcom smiles. Karen smiles at him. The kids had gone to stay with his mum since they wanted to give Alexa a break.

"That's amazing" Malcom smiles "should I take it Mummy when I go back" he asks and she nods with a huge grin on her face. "Where the twins" Malcom asks "in the play pen" Karen smiles.

Malcom goes over to the play pen and fussed over the twins. In some way he wished he didn't have twins but he's forever happy for what he's got.

After he spent a few hours with the kids he decided to go back to Ariana.

"Ellie made you something" he smiles "did she" Ariana smiles taking the card out of Malcom's Hand "aww she's such a cutie" she smiles "just like her mummy" Malcom smiles "I'm not cute I look disgusting" she huffs. "Ariana" Malcom asks "what" she snaps.

Malcom sits on her bed facing her. "I know your frustrated about this, I would be too, I am, but you don't need to take that out on me" he sighs "I just want to go home" she sobs "I know you do, I want to too but I'm staying with you wether you like it or not" he warns "I want you to stay" she tells him "well start acting like it" he sighs.
