Nates POV
-----------------
So we got home, Matt called the doctor and we got an appointment 3 days from now. It's currently 3pm, man we were out for a long time, Lia should be waking up. "Babe. Wanna get Lia up" Matt asked. "I can ask Phantom. We have some catching up to do" "ok. Well have fun" Matt kissed my cheek and I got up, cloud following me. We got upstairs and took Clouds vest off and then went to Lia's room. Phantom was already there. "Hey Nate. How are you" Phantom asked. "I'm ok. I have to go to an appointment because I might have arthritis. I can't hold things with my right hand for some reason" aww that sucks. I'm just trying to get Lia up" Phantom said. "Let me try" I went over to the bed where Lia lays. I got onto the bed and showered her with kisses. "Hey baby. Time to wake up" I said and shifted her so that she's laying toward my side. "Come on baby girl. It's time to wake up" Lia shifted as her eyes started to flutter open. "Dada" I smiled. "Hey baby girl" I said as she cuddled up into my chest more. "Hey come on. Wake up. Papas home to" I tickled her side and she laughed. "Ok your awake. I know it" She continued to laugh as I tickled her. "Wanna snack. Phantom did she even eat lunch" "Carly fed her. We had some pasta and she loved it" Matt came into the room and swung me off the bed. "Really babe" I said as I stood up right, Cloud staying in front of me helping me keep my balance. "Ok cloudy. Away" She heeled next to me and I scratched her head. "Hey Matt" He looked at me. "What's up" "I'm gonna go and lay down for a bit. Can you help Carly and Phantom with Lia" "yeah no problem" I smiled as he gave me a kiss on the lips. "Very soft lips" I smiled. He broke the kiss and me and Cloud left to go to our bedroom. I shut my eyes and went to sleep.

1 hour later

I was woken up by some commotion going on downstairs. Cloud was laying on top of me and Matt came running in. "Hey baby. Are you ok" I asked him, turning my head to face him. "Yeah. What's going on" "it's Phantom" My eyes widened. "What happened" I asked. "Come downstairs" "are you sure" he nodded. I motioned for Cloud to get off which she did. Matt helped me up and I couldn't feel his hand in my right hand. "Babe... my hand" "what's wrong" "I can't feel it" "shit" he whispered under his breath. "Ok. You need to see Phantom. We'll worry about your hand when we see the doctor on Wednesday" It's Sunday and we have a while. We went downstairs and cloud followed me. "What the heck happened!" He had this huge cut on his stomach. "Mare came back" "how he's in jail!" "That what I thought" I sat down next to Phantom. "Phantom. It's Nate. What happened" I asked him. He turned his head toward me. "Mare. He's a lot stronger. I mean it this time. He somehow managed to come and we got into a fight with him winning. Carly was putting Lia down for her nap and I was cleaning and then he attacked me. I might not have much longer" "can I help you. I had to last year" "I know. I don't have all of my power. I could kill you if you have my power for even such a short amount of time" I looked at Matt then Lia. "Then that's a risk I have to take" "Nathan Smith. Your not doing this" Phantom snapped. "I'm not going to let you die because you're trying to heal me. I'm not having it" "Phantom...if I'm going to die, I rather it being that I'm helping you then anything else" "Nate. No. I'm not allowing you to heal me" "Phantom...please let me" "you have problems already. If I had more power, you could help me" "Nate. Let's talk in the other room" Matt said. He helped me up and grabbed my left hand and dragged me to the other room. "Ok...I understand you want to help him. But I don't want you to die. We have a family" "I know baby. I prom..." A knock on the door was heard. "I'll get it" Carly said. When did she get down here. She opened the door and standing in front of her was this weird man. "Can I help you" "is Phantom here" "yeah. Why...who's asking" "just let me in please. I need to help him" the weird guy said and he came in. He went over to Phantom. "Adam!?" Adam? "Hey Matt" I looked at him and Matt waved. "How do you know eachother" i asked Matt. "I met him last year when we were trying to get Phantom your protecter again" "ohhh" i said. "What can you do you help him" i asked as Adam sat down on the floor next to Phantom, removing the towel from his stomach and looked at the cut. "I can stitch up the wound and arrest Mare to get the rest of his power but if I stitch it up, he might have longer to live and it would give me enough time to get his power but the stitches won't last long" Adam said. "Is there another way" Matt asked him. Adam bit his cheek and looked at us. "No. There isn't unfortunately" i sighed. "How long would it be" "if I don't stitch up this up, only a few hours, but if I do, I would say 3 to 5 days. It could take me up to 1 or 2 days. Nate, I'm counting on you to keep an eye on him until I return. Make sure you change the bandages before you go to bed and after you wake up. Ok?" We nodded and then Adam was stitching up the wound and then i felt pain in my stomach. "Are you ok" Matt asked me as I was bent over in pain. "My stomach hurts" i said. "Ok. Let's go upstairs and use the heating pad" Matt said and picked me up. "We'll be upstairs. Phantom, if you can walk, go upstairs and rest. If not stay down here and rest" Matt told him. He nodded and then we went upstairs. Matt layed me down on the bed and I rolled myself into a ball because of the pain I'm in. "Where do you keep the heating pad" Matt asked me. "I-in the fir-first drawer" I stuttered out. I heard him open the drawer and then there was some commotion then he closed it. I turned around and he plugged in the pad and placed it on my back. "It will take some time for it to heat up. It's on high right now so if it gets to hot, I'll turn it down" "ok" he layed down beside me, putting his arm around me, my head resting almost close to his armpit. With his other hand, he massaged my stomach. "Babe...have you eaten" I can't lie to him. I haven't eaten in 3 days. "No" "how long have you gone" "3 days" his eyes widened. "Nate. You need to eat!" "I haven't been hungry" "your lying. I can feel your ribs through your shirt" "I work out. Of course you can" I said rolling my eyes. "I know. But it's extra boney today" I raised an eyebrow. "Fine. Can you make me a pb and j sandwich" "sure" He got up and left, phantom coming into my room as Matt stepped out. "Hey Phantom" "hey. How's your pain" "horrible" I said as the heating pad was finally heating up. "It must be super painful" he said. Then his face went kind of red. "Is there anyway you could be" I stopped him. "There's no way! I'm a boy. And guys can't get pregnant" "have you and Matt done it" "no" that was true. We never done it. "Ok. So it's just somethings messing with your stomach" I nodded. Lia came into my bedroom and layed down with me. "Hi sweet girl" I said and Cloud started licking her face. "Doggy" "yeah...doggy" I said, petting Clouds head. "Be nice to the doggy. Ok" "ok dada" I smiled and kissed the top of her head. "Where papa" "getting some food for me" I said. "Are you hungry" "no" she just had a snack so of course she won't be hungry. Matt came back into the room, holding a plate with the sandwich. "Ok here you go" "thanks babe" he kissed my cheek and I started eating. I didn't know how hungry I was until I ate. "Oh my god" I said. "See I knew you were hungry" "yeah. You did. Great job" I said clapping. He chuckled and held Lia. I turned down the heat and after eating a little bit. My stomach felt upset. Then a weird noise came out of my body and next thing I know, I'm rushing to the bathroom to throw up. I was bent over, throwing up and then Matt came into the bathroom to check up on me. "Hey...you ok" "yeah. I'm fine" I said, grabbing some napkins and wiping my mouth before flushing. "Do you have a fever" "no I don't" I said and got up, feeling super weak. "It was probably because this was the first thing you eaten in 3 days" "probably" cloud came and pushed me down to the floor so she could do her tasks. "Maybe a sandwich wasn't the greatest idea. I'll go make you some soup" Matt said and he kissed my forehead then left. "Why haven't you eaten" "I don't know. Haven't been hungry" Phantom turned his head to the side. "Your lying to yourself" "no I'm not" "you are Nate. You are. You need to come to an agreement with yourself because your lying. Nate..." I looked at him. "Tell me the truth" I sighed, tears threatening to come. "I'm sorry Phantom. I am" I said. "The truth is...I haven't been myself recently. After Escaping the night and surviving, I've been getting hate. Horrible hate. I've..." I stopped and rolled up my sleeve. "Why?" Phantom asked me as he examined the one scar on my arm. "I was in such a huge state of. I don't know." After that experience my mood has been off. Matt and Carly has definitely noticed. "It's ok. If you ever need anything. I'm across the hall" I nodded and then Cloud licked my face. "Thanks cloudy" Phantom smiled and then got up. "I'm going to head out. Want some help getting up to your bed?" He asked me. I nodded and told cloud off. She obeyed and Phantom helped me up and we walked to my bed and I sat down as Matt came in. "Thank you Phantom for helping him" "no problem. I'll be in my bedroom if you need anything" "thanks" Matt said and then Phantom walked out, closing the door. "I got you your soup" Matt said and then sat down beside me and spoon-fed me. "You wanna know something" I raised an eyebrow. "You were amazing at ETN. You were. Escaping was super tough for you because of close calls. You proved to everyone that you are strong enough due to your ptsd" "I see where your going at. Thanks babe" "no problem. Love you" "love you to" he fed me and then I was done. "You know what...we're going out for dinner today. I have a huge surprise for you" "I don't know. I don't want to throw up when we're out. That would be embarrassing" I said. "Well I guess we'll have to stay inside. I'll bring this downstairs" "I wanna come down" I said in the baby voice. "You sure. I really want you to stay upstairs though. Close to the bathroom incase you throw up again" Matt said, hugging me. "I know your looking out for me but I want to get up" he looked hesitant. "I know baby. But" I sighed. "Fine" I smiled finally breaking him. "Ok...can you walk" "I think so" I said and Cloud helped me with my balance as I was getting up and then once I had my balance I held clouds handle and then we went downstairs and I went to our balcony and sat down on the rocking chair. "You know what Matt" "hmm" "I love you" Matt chuckled. "Love you to Nate" he kissed my head and sat down on the chair beside me. "I have to have a meeting with Phantom and Carly. I'll be back" I nodded and Lia came out. "Hey baby girl" I said and picked her up, placing her on my lap. She played with the ring on my finger giggling. "Oh sweet girl" I said. "Dada" I smiled. She continued to play with my ring. She tried to bring it up to her mouth but I told her no. She listened and I put my hand down. I attacked her with kisses and tickles. She laughed and I just smiled. I stoped and my hand started to feel weird. "Huh" I said as I tried to see if I could feel my hand. I could. It just feels weird.
