"How many times has this happened?" He asked her.

"This is the third." She admitted.
"How many times has he been more mad at you than worried?" He asked her.
"I don't know." She said. "I think he's going to leave me." She started to cry.
"No. No he wouldn't do that." He moved closer and ran his fingers through her hair. "He loves you and would never leave you."
"But how can he stand being with me when I'm like this?" She cried. "He deserves so much better than me."
"I've seen how much he loves you. He wouldn't be married to you or have kids with you if he knew he couldn't stand you." He said. "He's the kind of guy I want to be like."
"You shouldn't marry someone like me." She said.
"I would if she was like you. You're a loving, caring, responsible mother and a great wife. No one could ask for more." He said.
"Earlier today you were. You've changed so much. Peter is lucky." He told her.
"How am I any of those things?" She sniffled.
"Do you love your kids? Do you care about them?" He asked her.
"O-of course I do." She wiped her nose.
"You stay home and take care of the kids ad the house. That's responsible. So you are a loving, caring, responsible mother." He smoked slightly.
"I stay at home because I'm not mentally stable to work." She said.
"You take care of four kids. Two new twins. You take care of Noah and Abby when they come home from school." He said.
She shook her head, closing her eyes. "Brandon I love you but you don't know it's like to live as me. You have no idea how hard it is to get up in the morning. You don't know how hard it is to care for my kids and try to make a career out of my writing because I have no other choice when it comes to working."
"You're right. I don't know what it's like. But I've lived with you. I know what you're like. I know how hard you try. You give it all for your kids and you do it for them." He told her.
She whimpered and curled up into a ball and started to cry harder.
"Sorry if I'm not helping. I was never the best at motivational speeches." He muttered.
"You are a good help I swear it's just me." She sniffled. "I'm sorry." She used the sheets to wipe her eyes.
"You have nothing to be sorry for. I know it's hard for you." He did the best he could to hug her.
She hugged him back, although the IV was in the wayz
He held onto her for a few seconds before letting go. "What's the thing that usually makes you the happiest?"
"What is the difference between a nicely dressed man on a tricycle and a poorly dressed man on a bicycle?" He asked, smirking.
She giggled. "I asked for puns not a joke."
"I'm trying to think of puns. I don't know a lot." He said. "I think I got one. I did a theatrical performance about puns. Really it was just a play on words."
She rolled her eyes with a smile. "Amateur."
"I'm trying." He shrugged. "When the cannibal showed up late to the luncheon, they gave him the cold shoulder."
"How 'bought this one, I knew a woman who owned a taser, man was she stunning!" He smiled.
"Oh my god." She rolled her eyes and laughed.A nurse came in to give her medicine. "This will make you very sleep." She said. "I think you need some rest dear."
He nodded and sat back a little. "I'll try to think of more while you sleep." He told her.
"I don't wanna sleep I wanna talk to you." She whined.
"I think sleep is best for now. We can talk when you wake." He realised he sounded like their mom.
She nodded and allowed the drugs to pull her into a deep sleep.
He sat and watched her before pulling out his phone and calling Jess.
Jess picked up on the second ring. "Hey." She said quietlyz
"Hey. Just checking in. Caroline just went to sleep. How are the kids?" He asked.
"They're all asleep." She told him. "I got the hotel to bring up a crib for the twins." She said. "How is she?@
"She's better." He said. "We'll probably be able to leave tomorrow. Did you get ahold of Peter?"
"Yeah he said he'll be catching the first flight here tomorrow." She told himz
"Okay. Peter could probably pick us up then. You could take the kids back home." He suggested to her.
"Yeah I could. I'll keep them here for now though until morning." She said
"Okay. You should try to sleep. I'll do the same." He said.
"So you're staying there for the night then?" She asked.
