Lilah's POV
I woke up painless, which I was so thankful for. Everyone was asleep. I poked Elliott's cheeks and whined. His eyes flashed open.

" Good Morning! " I said excitedly.

Elliott smiled softly. " Morning. "

" ITS CHRISTMAS! " I screamed.

Ryan instantly jumped up. " Holy shit. "

" Hello, father! " I said smiling brightly.

He rubbed his eyes. " Morning, sweetheart. "

I sat up. " You think they'll let me go home? "

" How bad is your pain? " Ryan asked pushing on Brendon.

" I would say... Two out of ten. " I say smiling.u

" That's good! " Ryan says smiling.

Brendon groaned gently. " morning. "

I cleared my throat. " Z! WAKE UP"

" Lilah! There are sick people! Quiet down! " Ryan says sternly.

I pouted. "But it's Christmas!"

"If you feel better, they may let you go home today and you can open your presents" Ryan says patting on Brendons shoulder.

Brendon yawned like Chewbacca, "good morning and merry Christmas!"

I looked around, "did Pete leave?"

Ryan nodded, "he's got little kids, remember?"

"I'd like to baby sit them, they seem so cool" I said with a smile.

"Maybe when you start to feel better" Ryan says sitting up. "Would anyone like some coffee?"

Everyone nodded.

"I want tea, not coffee" I say resting my head on Elliot.

Ryan chuckled, "anything for the princess. "

My doctor walked in and smiled. "Good morning guys! How are you feeling"

"I'm feeling a lot better!" I say looking up at her.

"Great! If you're feeling good enough to go home we can get the discharge papers so you can enjoy your holiday!" The doctor says.

I smiled, "okay, thank you!"

She left the room and I looked at Elliot. "Do you wanna spend Christmas with us"

"Urm... is that okay with you?" Elliot asks looking at Ryan.

"Yeah, of course! We always have room for you!" Ryan smiled kindly.

"I need to pee, move please" I say pushing Elliot.

Elliot hopped out of the hospital bed and helped me stand. I walked into the creepy hospital bathroom and started to pee. I looked down and my thighs and they were covered in blood.

" Z!" I say trying to wipe the blood off of my legs.

She entered the bathroom. "Uh oh... let me see if I have tampons and extra underwear"

I looked down. "I'm sorry"

"Hey! It's okay! It's natural!" Z says digging through her purse. "Here we go!" Z says handing me a tampon.

"Thank you" I say opening it up.

Z leaves, I do my business and wipe my thighs off with a wet paper towel. I then flush the toilet and wash my hands. I walked out of the bathroom and looked down at my feet.

"Everything okay?" Ryan asked.

"Yes." I mumbled plopping onto the bed.

"Alrighty then..." Brendon says.

"What happened?" Elliot whispered petting my hair.

"Nothing. Just leave me alone" I said flipping away from him.

I had bad cramps. I really just wanted to be home in bed. The doctor came in with the paperwork and smiled.

"You can just sign here and we'll have you on your way!" She says handing Ryan the papers.

Ryan quickly signs it, "Thanks, Doc!"

She nods, "of course! Have a good day!"

I stood up and sat in the wheelchair. The nurse pushed me to the elevator with everyone following behind me. I sat there silently in the elevator because it does make me a little anxious.

"Are you excited to see your kitties?" Ryan asked.

I nodded. "Yeah. I got them gifts."

Brendon chuckled. "Of course you did"

The elevator doors opened and the nurse wheeled me out.

"I'll go grab the car!" Brendon says walking through the sliding glass doors.

Brendon pulled up in the car. I stood up and thanked the nurse. Elliot opened the car door for me and let me get in. I quickly buckled and yawned.

"Goin home, goin home!" I say excitedly.

Elliot giggled and got into the car. "Excited?"

I nodded. "To sleep in my own bed!"

Brendon started to drive, I leaned into Elliot and closed my eyes. He placed his hand on my thigh and squeezed lightly.

I looked up at Elliot. "Hm?"

"Nothing, just think you're cute" he says with a smile.

"Right." I say looking out the window.

Elliot squeezed my hand. "What's up?"

I shrugged. "Nothing."

Brendon looked back at me. "She hasn't ate in a while that's probably why she's grumpy."

"We should be home soon, I can make something there." Ryan says smiling.

I bit my nails, "not hungry."

I looked out the window and then looked at Elliot. He was so beautiful. He had perfect skin, I'm jealous of him for that. We pulled into the driveway, I unbuckled, quickly typed the code on the door, and ran upstairs.
