He bounced purposefully as he went down the hall, smiling and speaking to doctors who laughed as they saw us.

We went into my room, immediately quieting at the look of my parents still sleeping into each other.

He set me on my bed carefully, making me fall back into it- exhaling.

"I'm going to go sign some paperwork quickly- I should be done in maybe ten minutes, but just in case anything happens- press this button and either Ashton, myself or a nurse will come." He spoke.

"Okay- thank you" I smiled, observing the button before I watched him smile and leave the room, pulling the door behind him.

"Can I go back to bed?"
