Justin and JC walked into the pediatric ward and into Tyler's room. A
nurse was in there changing his iv.
"Oh Tyler, look who's here," she said. She looked up and smiled at JC, "he's been asking for you ever since he woke up."
JC walked over next to his son. "Hey buddy, how you feeling?" JC said kissing his forehead.
"I saw mommy, daddy."
"What did you say?"
"I saw her and she said you needed me and she said she loved us very much."
JC looked into his son's bright green eyes and for a moment he thought he was looking at Tracy.
"Don't cry daddy."
JC felt tears roll down his cheek as he leaned over and kissed his son again.
"JC, I'll stay with Ty. You should go see Michelle," Justin said putting his hand on JC's shoulder.
"Thanks man."
"Hi uncle Justin," Tyler said grinning.
"Hey little man." Justin pulled a chair up to Tyler's bed while JC left.
JC made his way to the ICU and back into Michelle's room. He went to her side and saw that her eyes were closed. He started to leave when he heard a soft murmur, "JC?"
JC turned back around to see Michelle slowly opening her eyes.
"Yeah, I'm right here." JC went beside her and took her hand.
"Tyler..."
"He's gonna be fine, thanks to you."
Michelle forced a small smile. "JC, you look horrible."
"Thanks," JC laughed.
"Have you been here the whole time?"
"Yeah. I couldn't leave Tyler...or you."
"JC..."
JC brought her hand to his mouth and gently kissed it. He looked up and saw tears running down Michelle's face. He reached up and softly wiped them away. "I thought I'd lost you."
Michelle caressed JC's cheek, "I'll never leave you JC...I promise."
"Thank you," Alexis said taking the bags from the woman. "Okay, I think we have enough food, don't you," she said laughing.
"Yeah, now we can head back," Sidney said.
"So, are you going to tell me the details now?" Alexis asked while they were driving back to the hospital.
"Details about what?"
"The whole Alex situation."
"There is no situation with Alex and therefore, no details to give out."
"C'mon Sid, you told me yourself he was the first man you truly loved, now he's back in your life and it means nothing? I'm not buying it."
"Okay fine! Yes, I loved Alex and maybe I still do on some level like I'm sure Justin still cares for Kim but I'm not the same person I used to be. Justin and I are happy now and that's all that matters to me."
"I hope your right," Alexis said under her breath.
"Anyway, what's up with you and Mr. Fatone?"
Alexis smiled from ear to ear at the mention of Joey's name. "Well, last night definitely ranked #1 on the best sex of my life scale!"
"I should've known!" Sidney said laughing.
"He's so wonderful Sid."
"Wait a minute, are you falling in love with him?"
"You seem shocked."
"And for good reason. When's the last time you've been serious about a guy Lexi?"
"That has nothing to do with it and like you said, we all have to change sometime."
