He nodded. "I don't think anyone would want to." He looked at the TV.

She nodded. "Well I mean she has her family. Noah and Violet may be impacted the most. We can visit her but not for the first two weeks; no phone calls or anything."
"Do you know what they are going to do?" Mike asked. "You wouldn't want her to be there without knowing what kind of treatments she'll be receiving."
"It's more of an observation thing." She said. "They're going to put her on some new meds and see how they work, and also give her some therapy sessions." She told him.
"That sounds good." He took another bite. "I hope it works for her."
She nodded. "It'll have to." That night, after the twins were asleep, Caroline knocked on Noah's bedroom door before opening it.
"Tell her I said good luck." Mike said.Noah was sitting in bed reading. He looked up when Caroline entered and set his book down.
"I will." She kissed his cheek."Hey," she smiled. "What are you reading?" She asked as she walked in, sitting on the edge of his bed.
He smiled at her and kissed her nose. "How's the ice cream?"He showed her the book. "It's from the library at school."
"It's good." She smiled, taking another bite. "Holes? I remember reading that." She smiled. "Can I interrupt your reading to have that talk with you?" She asked softly.
"Good." He took some of hers.He nodded. "Yeah. Hat about?" He set the book aside again.
"Hey." She playfully hit her spoon with his. "It's about me." She said softly. "Sweetie, have I ever...scared you, in any way?" She asked, taking his hand. "You can be honest with me okay? I won't get upset."
"What are you going to do about it?" He chuckled as he tried it again.He looked down at the covers. "Sometimes when you yell and kick yourself in rooms but I don't think you do it on purpose." He said softly.
"I'll stop having sex with you." She teased, giggling.She nodded slowly. "You're right. I don't mean to be like that. You know I have...problems with my brain and how I think and react. It's better but lately it hasn't been so easy. You know I'd never hurt you or your siblings but in a couple of weeks I'm going to go away for a little while so I can get help so I can be sure I won't a accidentally hurt you or the kids." She touched his cheek.
He took his spoon back. "Maybe I like ice cream better than sex?" He looked up into her eyes and put his hand on hers. "Who will make my lunch?"
She snickered. "Yeah right." She ate a bite of her ice cream.She smiled a little. "Your dad will do what he can. But uncle Brandon and Jess will help out, and of course Melody and Alexis and grandma and grandpa." She assured him. "I don't want to leave but I have to." She sighed.
"What if I said mint ice cream tasted better than you," he reached for her tub with his spoon again."You don't ever shout again?" He asked her, sitting up more.
She moved the tub out of the way. "I'd be concerned if my vagina tasted anything like mint." She said.She pursed her lips. "I may still have moments like that but probably not as severe and often. What I have isn't curable. It's only tolerable." She told him.
"Better does not equal similar." He stopped trying. "But in reality you actually do taste better than that ice cream." He leaned over and kissed her neck with cold lips.
He nodded. "I love you mommy." Noah hugged her tightly.
She squealed and flinched away from the cold, giggling. "You're such a bum." She laughed.Caroline pouted and hugged him back, rubbing his back lightly. "I love you to. I'm doing this for you and Abby and the twins. I don't want to scare you guys anymore." She sniffled a little.
"I know." He chuckled. He leaned in to kiss her again but took another bit of her ice cream."Okay mommy." He pulled away and laid down. "Can you read me a bedtime story?"
"Mike!" She exclaimed, playfully pushing him. "This is my day isn't it?" "How about I read a few chapters from Holes?" She suggested, picking it up.
He laughed and moved over a little bit. "I never said I couldn't tease and steal ice cream." Noah nodded and got more comfortable.
"Well I am." She giggled.She moved so she was leaving against the wall. She began to read where he left off.
"Okay. I won't do it anymore. I'll just watch the movie." He turned to the TV.He watched her read for a little bit but slowly fell asleep.
"Can you at least cuddle with me?" She pouted cutely, leaning her chin in his shoulder.She kept reading until she knew he was asleep. She closed the book and kissed his forehead and tucked him in before turning off the light and leaving, closing the door with a soft sigh.
He didn't look at her but he put his arm around her and pulled her in his lap.Peter was in the hallway. He just cane from Abby's room. "I told Abby about it. She said she understands but wished you didn't have to go."
She giggled and settled on his lap. She put her tub down and pulled a blanket over them. She then kissed under his chin, his ticklish spot.She nodded. "I'll probably talk to her to another day." She went into their bedroom.
He put his tub next to hers. When she kissed him he moved his cold hands under her shirt to her back and stomach. "I know your sensitive spots as well."He followed Caroline. "I know you're worried about us while you're away but you don't have to. Even though you probably still will, I just want you to now that you don't."
She squealed loudly, squirming in his arms. "Stop!" She cackled, pushing on his hands."You're right, I'll still worry so everything you just said is irrelevant." She noted. She opened up her dresser drawer and pulled out pajama bottoms and a tank top.
He moved his hands then took then took them away. He put his hands in hers. "From now until you leave this place, you can do anything. You are in charge."He sat on the bed and looked down. "I worry as well. I sometimes feel useless because I don't know how to help. I worry that I'll say the wrong thing and I'll mess everything up. I tell myself that I'm enough but I still feel like you deserve better than me."
She raised her eyebrows but nodded. "Okay then." She giggled.Half dressed, Caroline walked over to him. She stood in front of him. "Hey, look at me." She said, and then he did, she touched his cheek. "You've done nothing wrong. You've never triggered me in any way." She assured him softly. "And are you kidding? Babe, I don't deserve anyone." She said. "Someone like me isn't suppose to love." She knelt down so she was level with him. "All of my problems are worse because I do love you." She put her hands on his knees. "But that's okay because I wouldn't have it any other way.
"Okay." He looked back at the TV.He looked in her eyes and when she was done talking he pulled her in a hug. "I don't know what I would have if I didn't have you."
She did too.She sat in his lap, hugging him. "You complete me. I didn't think I could find someone who tolerates me like you do, loves me like you do. I've scared people away all my life. But not you." She kissed his head. "I love you babe." She whispered.
He relaxed with her. He kissed her cheek. "I love you too. I never want to be without you."
She watched the movie, leaning against him."Good because you're stuck with me." She kissed the tip of his nose then stood up to finish getting dressed.
He ran his fingers against hers as he watched."Good." He smiled and got up. He pulled out shorts and a shirt and changed.
She smiled and kissed his shoulder.She finished changing the started to unmake their bed.
He looked down and kissed her head.He helped her with the bed and got out new sheets.
((I mean she was making it so they could sleep in it))She wrapped her arms around his middle.
Caroline stopped for a moment to take her evening pills.
((Got it))"Hey, guess what?" He put his chin on her head.
He sat back in the bed once it was ready.
"What?" She looked up at him with a small smile.Caroline then dimmed the lights and crawled into bed. "Want to watch some tv?"
"You're beautiful." He told her. Peter pulled the covers over them. "Sure. We have a few shows to catch up on."
She blushed and rubbed her face against his shoulder. "Oh stop." She nodded and turned on the tv that was on the wall in front of them on top of their dresser. "What first?"
He moved his hand through her hair. "I'll never stop complimenting you.""We're behind in Designated Survivor." He said, liking over at the screen.
"I know." She mumbled against his arm, giggling. She nodded and put that on. She put the remote somewhere on the bed and scooted closer to him.
"You are very beautiful, pretty, smart, funny, talented, and perfect." He told her.When they were close enough he put his arm around her god kissed her cheek.
"Miiikkeeeeee." She dragged out, squeezing him tight. She smiled and rubbed his leg.
"Aleeexxxiiss." He chuckled. "It's true."He leaned his head on her shoulder.
