Jillian: You need rest too, honey bear. Here...come take the couch. It folds out into a bed. I'm worried about you too...

Cruel Britannia Sun Aug 07, 2011 11:14 pm

Alex: No need to worry about me mum...... I'm OK.

Cryonix Sun Aug 07, 2011 11:18 pm

Jillian: No, you're not. You're young and worried and tired yourself. Alexis is asleep. You can allow yourself to falter around momma. Just for now....

She hugs him...

Cruel Britannia Sun Aug 07, 2011 11:21 pm

Alex: Would dad have slept on the job?

Cryonix Sun Aug 07, 2011 11:22 pm

Jillian smiles...

Jillian: No...he wouldn't. But he would know when he needed to just release. That's all I'm offering baby....a chance for you to breathe.

Cruel Britannia Sun Aug 07, 2011 11:27 pm

Alex snuggles into Jillian's shoulder like he did when he was a baby.

Cryonix Sun Aug 07, 2011 11:29 pm

Jillian: There, there honey bear. It'll be okay.

Cruel Britannia Sun Aug 07, 2011 11:33 pm

Alex: Yeah I know..... just...... eugh..... not a very good start to my career as a husband.

Cryonix Sun Aug 07, 2011 11:35 pm

Jillian: You're so much like your father, it's scary. This was not your fault, baby. She just needs to slow down a bit. I know you're madly in love...but remember you are both still not even at your mid twenties yet. You've got all the time in the world...

Cruel Britannia Sun Aug 07, 2011 11:38 pm

Alex: I know..... eugh.... she's so stressed out about her family.

Cryonix Sun Aug 07, 2011 11:41 pm

Jillian: Ah....that. I didn't realize it bothered her so much still...

Cruel Britannia Sun Aug 07, 2011 11:43 pm

Alex: I thought I dealt with it at the wedding..... that's why I took the time out of my damn wedding day to make sure it was over...... but then Colin and Mandy get into it...... and..... well here we are.

Jillian: I know. You just sit here and relax, baby. Momma will look out for both of you. Get some rest, ya?

Cruel Britannia Mon Aug 08, 2011 6:09 pm

Alex has already fallen asleep in Jilly's arms.

Pockets Mon Aug 08, 2011 6:13 pm

The next morning Alexis stirs, unwilling to open her eyes at first. Only a slight difference in her breathing, shown on the monitor she's hooked up to, gives away that she's awake.

Cryonix Mon Aug 08, 2011 6:15 pm

Jillian walks in with bagels and bacon for Alex and oatmeal with honey and cinnamon and orange slices for Alexis...

Jillian: Oh, you're up. Good. Stay quiet....Alex is still exhausted. I've brought you guys breakfast. I know how hospital food is...

Pockets Mon Aug 08, 2011 6:20 pm

Hearing someone come into the room, Alexis finally opens up her eyes and tries to scoot up in the bed.

Alexis: I didn't know you were allowed to. It does look good.

Cryonix Mon Aug 08, 2011 6:23 pm

Jillian: You're on a calorie count while your in the hospital...but since I can make breakfast for you within those limits....heh...it's better than Aramark food. Here....eat, hon.

Pockets Mon Aug 08, 2011 6:27 pm

Alexis lets Jillian help move her tray table around to put the oatmeal and orange on, and starts nibbling on one of the slices.

Alexis: Thank you.

Cruel Britannia Mon Aug 08, 2011 6:30 pm

Alex can be heard muttering "Lexi" in his sleep.

Jabberwocky Mon Aug 08, 2011 6:32 pm

Meanwhile, Colin and Amber arrive in the parking lot. Colin parks and they make there way outside where Colin goes to the nurse at the front desk

Colin:"Hi, where would I find Alexis O'Rya-Edwards sorry...Alexis Edwards?"

Cryonix Mon Aug 08, 2011 6:43 pm

Nurse: Yes, she's in room 786. Her husband and mother in law are already in there.

Jabberwocky Mon Aug 08, 2011 6:49 pm

Colin:"Much obliged."

He and Amber make there way to room 786. They reach the room and after a moment Colin pops his head in

Pockets Mon Aug 08, 2011 6:55 pm

Alexis glances over, and smiles.

Alexis: Colin... hi.

Jabberwocky Mon Aug 08, 2011 6:56 pm

Colin smiles, walking over to his sisters bedside

Colin:"Hey sis. How you feeling?"
