Mark's POV
After our day of watching all the Spider-Man's and any other Avenger movies on Netflix that we could find, it was 10:00 at night and we had just noticed the time.

"Alright so, tonight Liz your going to sleep with Lew and me okay?" I tell Liza, she nods, and Lew picks her up and takes her to the kitchen to make her drink with the weight gaining pills and sleep medication so that she might get a good night sleep.

I see Lew carry her to bed and then it's just a dozing off Toby and James left. James has his arm draped over Toby's half-asleep body, "Toby I think that me and you need to go to the kitchen and make up one of those drinks..." James says as he picks up Toby.

Toby whines and holds his arms out to James to pick him up so he wouldn't have to walk. James smiles and picks Toby up and goes into the kitchen. After a few minutes of sweet silence James calls for me from the kitchen. I sigh but get up and go into the kitchen.

"Alrighty what's wrong and how can I help?" I ask James knowing that Toby will say "nothing" in an attempt to make me go away so I just talk to James.

"He thinks that he doesn't need the drink! And he does!"  James says huffing in annoyance. He's annoyed that Toby isn't listening to him because it's unlike Tob to complain. It's out of character.

"Toby what's wrong? Why won't you let him help?"  I ask Toby whose sitting on the counter twiddling his thumbs and swinging his legs back and forth.

He starts to whisper out, "I don't wanna not be okay again... I'm okay just- just that I'm better now. A few months ago I wasn't okay when James went away for work. I was lonely despite you and Lew being around. I'm okay now, I just had one rough night. I am not suicidal I don't wanna die. At all. I want a family, kids even though Liza feels like my kid already. I just had one rough night! So can we not start over? Please?"  Toby says looking like he's on the verge of tears by the word suicidal.

James runs over to him and hugs him gently.  "You still have to drink the thing but now we won't have to start over again. Is that an okay deal?"  James says, Toby nods and hugs him tight. When they start kissing that's my cue to leave and I do. I head upstairs and crawl into bed with my husband and Liza whose asleep already.

I start to get changed into pjs, which consists of sweatpants and an undershirt. Normally I wouldn't have the shirt on but where Liza is sleeping in the same room as us, I thought that it'd be a good idea.

I climb into bed and gently throw an arm over Liza's sleeping body so that Lew can take my hand. He takes it gently and kisses it. "Is everything okay downstairs?" Lew asks I nod my head but it's just dark enough that he can't see my head nod.

So I say, "yeah, turns out they're not going to start from the bottom and work their way up again with the cutting thing. James decided that he trusted Toby enough to not do it again and Toby had said that it was just a rough night, and everyone has a rough night. So James said that he trusts him and that if Toby thinks that he doesn't need help then...". I say trailing off.

I hear a faint "yeah, alright then... love you honey. See ya tomorrow." From Lew and he turns over, so his hand leaves mine.

Soon enough I fall into a dreamless sleep soon after Lew.

*awkward time skip to morning*

I wake up to the sun shining through the drapes and only Lew is in bed with me now. He's cuddled right into my chest, not that I'm complaining I love it. He's cute and I'm going to protect him forever.
