As the day drifted into noon Henry came over and introduced himself to Pip before accidentally tripping over his own shoelaces, Pip also braided his hair since it was longer than Rick's.
Sera, however, started to get more and more drowsy as the room got darker, eventually, Henry went home and it was just the three of them again.
They started to play 'In a row' a new game that Henry brought over where they had to get little pieces and use a dice, whenever they landed on a specific colour they get a new piece and put it in a row, the first one to make a row wins.
"How we doing everyone?"
Jennifer walked in halfway through the game, Sera seemed surprised that she didn't have her usual amount of makeup on.
"All good, just playing with the kiddo."
Rick first-bumped the air as he got another row,
"Hah! Won again!"
"N-no fair! I was s-so close..."
Rick started the game again.
Jen sat on the bed beside Sera and poked Pip's cheek,
"And just who is this little swan!"
"That's Pip, he arrived last night. Pip This is Jennifer, we call her Jen."
She gave him a warm-hearted smile, he looked at her clothes.
"Y-you're not a s-sick one."
"Nope! I'm a nurse here and I hope you don't mind little swan but I need to borrow Sera."
Sera looked up at Jen who was looking a little flustered, she felt her throat tighten.
"Is it time?"
"Yes."
"Okay. Pip? Jump onto Rick's bed and play the game alright? I'll be back soon..."
He glanced up at her, his grey eyes alarmed and filling with tears.
"Y-you're not going to H-heaven now are you?"
"No, I promise I'll be back soon."
Once he got off Jen pulled out a wheelchair and for the first time since Rick arrived she pulled the blankets off,
He had no idea how to react, her physique wasn't absolutely terrible but it was sad to see that she didn't have a lot of weight.
She lifted herself up and with Jen's help got into the wheelchair when she was wheeled away Rick couldn't help but feel a shiver go down his spine at her empty bed.
"I l-like Sera."
"Yeah? Me too buddy..."
"She's like m-my mommy, but is around m-more."
Rick ruffled his hair making the little boy laugh, he looked at her bed before Pip poked him.
"Your turn!"
Sera watched as she was wheeled around a corner,
"Those two are really nice, makes me a bit jealous that I'm not your only friend anymore haha!"
"You're all really nice; you, Rick, Pip, Rick's brother Henry..."
"You're nice too you know? I've been around you for a few weeks now and even in your position you still comfort me, still care. I wish everyone had a heart like yours..."
"Thank you, Jen, but is everything okay? You seem down."
