She nodded. "That's okay with me."

She nodded and took the stack of them from him. She flipped through them. "Dead Poet Society?" She held it up. "My tattoo is in reference to this movie." She said.
He sat back with her and kissed her cheek. "I like that tattoo." He ran a finger over it over her shirt.
She shrugged. "Something that means something to you." She told him, running a hand through his hair.
She nodded. "This date would be good. But I wouldn't want you to get it only for it not work out for us down the road. Hypothetically of course." She clarified.
She nodded and grabbed the blanket off the back of the couch for them to use. She draped it over them.
She smiled and adjusted herself on top of him, using his chest as a pillow. "Are you comfy?" She asked.
((Sure. Anywhere in mind? I think Caroline should sit down with her parents and talk about going away for her health. Idk what do you have?)$
((Goodnight))Kaya brought over a mug for Peter and Caroline filled with tea. It was in the middle of the day so the kids wer at school and the twins were napping upstairs.
"Thanks mom." Caroline murmured, taking the tea. She had a fit the previous night. She looked really tired.
Jason sat across from Peter and Caroline. He held his cup of tea. "Thanks, Kaya." Peter took the mug and sipped his tea. "I'm sure Caroline has told you what the doctor recommended."
Kaya nodded, sitting down beside her husband. "Yeah. She contacted us." She said.Caroline looked up. Her hair was a mess and she looked like shit. "They did? I'm not under 18 anymore! They can't do that!" She exclaimed.
"We asked the doctor to call us." Jason said. "We knew that you wouldn't tell us much."Peter reached for Caroline's have but wasn't sure if she would like it.
Caroline took her hand away. "I can't go." She crossed her arms over her chest. "You had an episode last night." Kaya said, then looked at Peter. "How bad was it?" She asked.
"She woke up from a nightmare and locked herself in the walk-in closet. The kids stayed asleep but it took about two hours to get her to open the door and another three for her to relax enough to nap a little." Peter didn't look at Caroline as he told them."Care…you always hated when we got involved in your personal life but now we are. We have to." Jason told her.
Caroline nibbled on her bottom lip while he told the story. "that's like nothing compared to what else i've done." She muttered. "That's the point, Caroline." Kaya said. "We dont want a worse one to come around where you hurt yourself again or even worse; hurt the kids." Kaya admitted.
"I wouldn't forgive myself if anything happened to the kids." Peter gripped his mug."We want what's best for you and the kids." Jason said.
"That would all be on me, not you." Caroline said to Peter. "Do you think i dont know what I can do? Do you think I don't know that you and the kids are in danger because of me?!" She shouted, tears gathering in her eyes. "I hate it." She pulled at her hair. "I hate that I am this way." She sobbed. She stood up. "You should just lock me up forever so I won't be anyone's problem anymore!"Kaya flinched. "Caroline, please sit down." Her voice broke a little.
Peter stood up and stood in front of her. "Do you know how all of this makes me feel? Do you know how I felt when they told us the only way that you could maybe get better is if they took you away from me and the kids? I wanted to yell at them and demand they find another way but there isn't. I don't want to do this but it's the best thing for the kids." He took her hand. "Noah once asked me if he would ever have fits like you."Jason watched them.
Caroline kept her hands in her hair, gripping her roots tightly. She listened to him while crying. She then gasped, her eyes opening wide. "H-he asked you that? Noah? Really?" She then covered her mouth and hunched over a little, shaking her head and crying. Kaya wiped at her eyes. She gripped Jason's hand.
"He said 'daddy will I ever scream and yell like mommy?' I told him no. That he will never have to worry about it." He put his haves on her shoulders. "I don't know if him seeing you like that is having an affect on him. I don't know what it's doing to Abby either. I don't want the twins to grow up seeing it. Definitely not Violet."Jason squeezed her hand.
She kept shaking her head. "My god I'm torturing our children!" She shouted. She turned away, wiping at her face."Caroline, no you're not. We're trying to help you. We tried this before when you were a teenager but of course you wouldn't have any of it. And, you had less people to harm and we were able to get you on some good meds so we handled it. But now you're married and with a family that we know you love even if you think you can't love them." Kaya said.
"Don't think about it as being ripped away from the kids. Think of all the more time you'll have with them." Peter said to her."Do it for Noah, Abby, Christian, and Violet." Jason said.
"I can't just leave my family." She said. She sounded exhausted. "You guys need me", she finally decided to sit down, wiping her face. "They offer a three month trial." Kaya pulled out the forms and pamphlets. "You're allowed visitors but only after the first two weeks. You can three calls a week, and if you show improvement the first three months, they can look into doing something closer to home where you can see Peter and all of us while seeing a doctor twice a week."
Peter sat with her. "They don't want to just rip you away. They want to help you with little distractions." Jason nodded. "Think of it as a spa get away. You do it because you need to get away a relax even though you'll miss everyone."
"It's not spa." She rolled her eyes. "It's a medical asylum for people who see shit that isn't there." She muttered.Kaya sighed. "Are you seeing people again?" She asked gently.
She shook her head. "No." She said honestly.
Kaya nodded. "Okay so it's not a spa but it's like a hotel," she showed her some pictures. "We can tour the place before you're admitted of course so you can get a feel for it. There's a pool, a gym, a library; many places to sit and watch tv and monitored internet access. And you're room has its own bathroom with a double bed and a small kitchen-no stove of course- for meal prepping,"
"And it's not like you won't see us the whole time you're there. You'll be allowed visitors. We'll see you every chance we get." Peter offered her her tea."We'll be with you every step of the way. Jason said.
"But your job." Caroline sniffled. She looked at her tea but didn't move to drink it. She lost all appetite.
"I've taken a position closer to home. I'll be home most nights but when I can't Brandon and Jess will be there." Peter put his arm around her.
