Cubby's POV

"Jake! My throat is hurting me!" I exclaimed as I woke up. After I got my tonsils and my adenoids removed, my throat has been hurting so much.

"Don't worry Cubby, I've got your medicine here." Jake exclaimed as he climbed up the ladder. He sat down next to me as he put the spoon into the mixture and he made me swallow it.

"Jake, it tastes disgusting." I exclaimed as I swallowed it.

"Don't worry Cubby, I made orange juice for you." Izzy exclaimed as she came up with my orange juice for me. She passed me, my glass of orange juice.

"Thanks Izzy." I said as I drank some of it. I started to feel sleepy.

"I'm going to take a nap." I exclaimed as I started to feel sleepy as I fell asleep.

"Okay Cubby." Izzy said as she left the room.

Jake's POV

Izzy came back from our room as she was holding a dirty cup.

"Hey Izzy. How's Cubby?" I asked her.

"He's fine, he's just sleeping at the moment." Izzy exclaimed as she put the cup into the kitchen sink and washed it.

"At least, he had his tonsils taken out last week." I exclaimed.

We were watching TV and Cubby came in.

"Hey Cubby, are you feeling okay?" I asked him as he sat in between us.

"A little bit but my throat is still feeling sore." Cubby exclaimed as he rest his head on Izzy's shoulder.

"What do you want to watch on TV?" Izzy asked him.

"Can I watch Sheriff's Callie?" Cubby asked us.

"Cubby, isn't that show...you know a bit too weird?" I asked him.

"No. I love it. Please can I watch it?" Cubby asked us.

"Fine..." Izzy sighed as she turned the channel over.

"Yay." Cubby exclaimed as he leaned back on the cushion while watching the show. He started to get sleepy.

"Looks like someone is sleeping." I exclaimed as Cubby was sleeping as he was leaning against Izzy's arm.

"Aww. How about we lay him down on the couch?" Izzy asked me, as she picked Cubby up in her arms.

"Yes." I said as I picked the cushion up and Izzy layed Cubby down on the couch and I placed the cushion behind his head while Izzy layed the blanket on him. He cuddled himself up while he was sleeping.

"Aww, he looks so cute while he's sleeping." Izzy exclaimed as we were looking at him while he was sleeping on the couch, all cuddled up with the blanket.

"He really does. Now let's give him some alone time, he really needs the sleep." I exclaimed as we left the room, to let Cubby on the couch.

So we were in the kitchen, cooking lunch. Cubby can only have soft food at the moment.

"Do you think he will be alright with soft food?" Izzy asked me.

"He should be. It's the only type of food that he can eat at the moment." I exclaimed.

"I know." Izzy said. Then Cubby walked into the kitchen.

"Hey guys, what's for lunch?" Cubby asked us.

"Well me and Izzy are having salad for lunch." I began.

"So what am I having?" He asked me.

"You're having pudding." I exclaimed as I placed his pudding on the table.

"That's all but I'm hungry!" Cubby exclaimed as he sat down.

"Cubby, you know you can only eat soft food at the moment due to having your tonsils taken out." I exclaimed as me and Izzy sat down.

"But I'm not feeling any pain." Cubby exclaimed.

"I think it only comes in the morning." Izzy suggested.

"And the doctor did say that you have soft food for a week. Your throat wouldn't be able to handle solids at the moment." I exclaimed.

"Fine. I suppose you guys are right. I'll have the pudding." Cubby exclaimed as he started to eat his pudding.

"Good." I said as me and Izzy began to eat our lunch.

"Wasn't my surgery a week ago?" Cubby asked us.

"No. You only had your surgery yesterday. You must've slept for a long time, after we got home from the hospital." I exclaimed.

"I was really tired from the anaesthesia, yesterday." Cubby exclaimed.

"You really were." Izzy said.

"But we're proud of you for being really brave yesterday for your surgery." I exclaimed as he smiled.

"Thanks Jake. I'm proud of myself. It was really scary and the masks that the doctors were wearing was really scary! I was so scared." Cubby exclaimed.

"Aww Cubby. It's okay but we both know that you were still brave." Izzy exclaimed as she gave him a hug as he smiled.

"Thanks guys. Was I really out of it in the recovery room?" Cubby asked us.

"Yes, you were really tired from the anaesthesia." I exclaimed.

"Was I saying crazy stuff?" Cubby asked us.

"Actually, you were confused at first but you started asking us questions and you weren't freaking out." I exclaimed.

"How long will the stabs be in my throat?" Cubby asked us.

"I'm not sure but when they're ready to fall off, you have to cough them out." Izzy exclaimed.

"But that's disgusting! I don't want to cough the scabs out of my throat!" Cubby exclaimed.

"I know Cubby but it's the only way to know if you're better. You should be completely better in a week or two." I exclaimed.

"I hope so, my throat is really hurting me." Cubby exclaimed as he rubbed his throat.

"Okay, time for your medicine." Izzy exclaimed as she got Cubby's medicine ready.

"But I don't want the medicine." Cubby complained.

"Relax Cubby, it's only going to make you feel better." I exclaimed.

Izzy put it into his mouth as he swallowed the mixture.

"It tastes disgusting." Cubby exclaimed as he was done with his medicine.

"But it is going to make you feel better Cubby." Izzy exclaimed as she put the medicine away.

"I guess so." Cubby exclaimed.
