Michael

Get Well Soon

"Mr. Scott?" the psychologist stood in the doorway.

Michael shot up immediately, "yes?!?"

"My name is Dr. Love," she walked over to Michael and shook his hand and Mika's.

"Dr. Love? That's kind of ironic," Fortune snickered as everyone shot him a glare. "Sorry..."

"How's my son?" Michael asked nervously and desperately.

"Confused. Lost. And seeking 'love,'" she looked over at Fortune as she said love shooting him a smile. "But he's alive. I'm requesting to meet with him Monday through Friday every day, every week. When I feel like he's ready we can space out his sessions more. Is that okay with you," she smiled as she asked Michael.

"Yes. Anything to help him."

"Good. And I know how hard these situations can be, so if you or any of your other children need to talk my door is always open...as long as you make an appointment." She smiled again shaking Michael's hand one last time before exiting.

"Can you go see if I can go in to see him Mika?"

"Yea babe," Mika said kissing Michael's forehead and leaving the room.

"He called you 'babe,'" Fortune whispered and giggled. Michael let out a chuckle and a smile as Mika reentered the room.

"The nurse said they are moving him up to a room. He needs to stay at least overnight before they can clear him to go home. So, on that note are you hungry?" Mika asked looking at both Michael and Fortune.

"I am!" Fortune jumped up.

"You are always hungry," Mika laughed.

"What time is it," Michael asked.

"3:00. What time are the kids supposed to be home?" Mika asked.

"3:00, can you take me home so I can let them know what's going on?"

"Yes."

The nurse came in to take out Michael's IV when Fortune announced, "actually...I'm going to stay here, if that's alright? I'll stay with Ezra until you get back, as long as you bring me some food?" he questioned Michael who was slowly standing up from the bed.

"Sure," Michael replied. "Thank you. He needs a friend right now." He smiled at Fortune as they exited the room to check Michael out. "Let him know we'll be back as soon as we can?"

"I will." Fortune started making his way up to the third floor waiting room where he'd wait for Ezra to be all set up in his room. Fortune sat for 20 minutes before the nurse came to get him. He slowly walked in the room, knocking as he entered.

"Cookie!" Ezra shouted in joy as Fortune approached. Instead of glaring at Ezra like usual he just smiled and pulled out a bear from behind his back and shook it in front if Ezra's face.

Ezra reached out for it. "Aww! Thank you Cookie..this means a lot to me..I.."

Ezra was stopped by Fortunes lips pressing against his. Fortune pulled back and stared into Ezra's eyes like they did the night at the house.

"Don't ever do that to me again! Call me next time!" Fortune gave Ezra a disappointed look.

Ezra sunk into the bed, "I thought you hated me. I thoug..." He was stopped again by Fortunes lips.

"I could never hate you.."

"Don't leave me."

"I won't."

"Promise?"

"I promise Ezra."

Fortune hopped on the bed and laid next to Ezra, resting his head on Ezra's chest. He fell asleep to the sound of his heartbeat. Ezra ran his fingers through Fortune's hair, holding the bear tight in his left arm, he slowly dozed off.
