Bringing the family back together

Chapter 140

A little while later

Laura:(still in Ross's room sitting next to Ross's bed cradling Hunter) It's daddy Hunter (shows him Ross)

Hunter:(looks at Ross and whimpers)

Laura: I know it hurts to see your dad like that

Hunter:(cries)

Laura:(tries to calm him down) Shhh.... it's okay, he'll be okay soon

everyone:(walks in)

Shor & Maya:(run up to Laura hugging her)

Laura:(Smiles) Hey kids

Stormie: How's Ross doing?

Laura: Still the same as last time. What took you guys so long?

Rydel: Well we changed. Mom, Maya & I were trying to get the makeup off but we got some of it off

Ratliff: Then the kids wanted to grab some things cause they knew they'd be here for a while then some guy that was at the wedding wanted to give you something so we got it and now we're here

Laura: Okay

Shor: Daddy? (looks at Ross)

Maya:(looks at Ross)

Laura: Daddy's not awake yet, he's still sleeping

Shor:(looks at Laura) Forever?

Laura: Not forever sweetie, just for a little time

Maya:(Sighs)

Laura: What is it baby?

Maya:(tears up)

Laura: Oh sweetie (hands Shor Hunter and picks up Maya to sit on her lap) What's wrong sweetie?

Maya: Look at daddy. He's hurt and there's nothing we can do about it. I don't want to be a by stander, I want to help daddy

Laura:(wipes her tears) It's okay princess, daddy just needs a lot of love from all of us, especially his favourite little girl

Maya:(smiles weakly) Really?

Laura:(nods) He needs a lot of love to wake up, you know your fairy tales?

Maya:(nods)

Laura: You know how sleeping beauty woke up?

Maya: With a kiss

Laura:(nods) That was love and that's what daddy needs to wake up. He loves all of us and we need to give love back to him

Maya: Okay mommy

Laura: You feel better now?

Maya: A little, thank you

Laura:(kisses her cheek) Of course baby

Shor:(looks at dad) (sighs thinks: I sure hope he wakes up soon. I don't know how long any of us can take of this)

A few hours later

Laura:(asleep on the couch)

Maya & Shor:(sitting next to Ross watching him)

Lynch family:(went out to get something to eat for everyone)

Shor: Maya

Maya:(looks at Shor) Yeah?

Shor: Do you think dad will ever wake up?

Maya: We have to believe Shor

Shor: I know, I'm just wondering
