“Ripp, are you up?”

“Yeah, whatcha need?”

“I, uh, wanted to apologize for how I acted the past few days. I was a real jerk about your new night shift, both to your face and not… I never thought it through, or expected it to make you cry…”

“Heh, what are you talking about? You didn’t make me cry.”

“Well, I mean, as awful as you sound, you’re still talking. It couldn’t be the pain like you told Michelle…”

“I guess I wasn’t completely honest with her about that, yeah…”

“So I did make you cry?”

“No, just… just a bad dream.”

“You wanna talk about it?”

“Ummm… Is daddy okay?”

“I went to check on him, and he was crying. He said he was in a lot of pain…”

“Maybe we should give him more ice cream?”

“Let’s not give him too much, dear. We don’t want his stomach to hurt, too.”

“Am I missing a family meeting?”

“Daddy was crying! Do you think he needs more ice cream? I think so!”

“C-… Crying?”

“Yeah!”

“I… I, um, think I should go check on him.”

“Sorry, Dad-er, General. I tried to go to school, I really did! But they said I had to go home! I swear, I didn’t want to!”

“Really now? Schools these days are raising weaklings! And so help me, if Tank gets chickenpox the week he goes to camp, that’s on you. Now march upstairs!”

“He told Tank never to forgive me for that… I wonder if that still stands.”

“Daddy it’s me, Michelle. Are you feeling better-”

“Are… Are you crying, daddy?”

“D-Daddy? Daddy, please wake up! I want you to be okay!”

“Mmmnn… Michelle? That you? What’s wrong, kiddo?”

“You were crying in your sleep! Does your throat hurt that bad?”

“No, I was just-… Er, yeah. It does. Sorry for worrying you.”

“Hey~! Sorry, practice ran a little late. There was a language barrier with the Veronaville exchange students.”

“Did it go well other than that?”

“Yeah! How’s daddy?”

“He’s back from the hospital, but he’s been out cold for nearly the entire time he’s been home. Well, until he got up to eat.”

“Hm, speaking of eating, I think I’m gonna go grab a snack.”

“Michelle, maybe wait a seco-”

“Okay, umm… Why is this here?”

“Oh! Oh! Oh! That’s where we put daddy’s ice cream!”

“Ice cream?”

“Yeah! Mom said the doctors took stuff out of his throat! They’re called umm… ummm… ton…sils or something! So daddy gets to eat all the ice cream he wants! He just finished his bowl a little while ago.”

“Huh, does that mean he’s probably awake by now?”

“Hmmm… Probably! Unless he already fell back asleep.”

“He’s sleeping so soundly. I’ve seen him sleep like a log before, but boy, is he ever out.”

“Must be nice. He’s so comfy. He’s probably having some nice dreams, too, about how much affection he’ll be getting. Hehe. He deserves it, too, plus a treat.”

…

“Dad, I… I think I’m gonna throw up!”

“That’s General, to you! You want to miss school? Fine! You lock yourself up in your room, then! And if you get even a spot of vomit on the carpet your mother just cleaned, so help me, you will pay for a replacement out of your own damn pocket! You hear me!?”

…

“… Why are they being so nice?”

“You’re back! I missed you!”

“Did you behave yourself while we were out?”

“Yeah! Is daddy all better now?”

“Ah, sort of. He’ll need to rest for a while, though. Your dad’s getting him up to bed right now, so it’s probably a good idea to use indoor voices.”

“Okay!”

“Ah, thank you two for keeping an eye on her. It’s so good to have such responsible young adults at home.”

“Oh, mom, we’re not young adults yet.”

“Shhh! Clarence! Embrace it! And thanks, mom, I’ll be sure to relay that to Michelle once her cheer practice is over, too.”

“Hey there, sleeping beauty.”

“How’s he doing?”

“He’s sleeping like a log. Connor was here about an hour ago, but Ripp slept right through it. Buck and Jill helped make him a really sweet card, too. I think he’ll love it.”

“Mmmmnnn… Phi?”

“We didn’t wake you up, did we?”

“The doctors said everything went well. They were pleasantly surprised you could sleep so soundly. In fact, it’s already about time we can get you home. Before what we need to get into the freezer melts, of course.”

“Uncle Johnny!!”

“Connor? What are you doing here?”

“I’m here to see Uncle Ripp, of course. Dad said he’s in the hospital so I figured it’d be good to visit, you know? He wanted to come, too, but with the new baby, it’s kinda hard to leave the house.”

“Oh, right! The baby! How is she?”

“She’s doing great! She’s slowly learning how to get around the house. Only things we need to work on is her eating her vegetables and taking her naps.”

“Ah! Speaking of naps…”

“We’ll be right here when you wake up, we promise.”

“Hey! You look a lot less tense. They drug you yet?”

“Hehe, I love you guuuuuuysss”

“Yikes! I can see why you’ve rested your voice for so long. But it’s good you’re so happy, even if you’re in la la land.”

“You’re sooooo pretty.

“So that’s about it for the rundown. There should be a room ready for you soon.”

“And like I said before, you’ll be asleep the whole time, and to answer what you wrote on your form here: this procedure has nothing to do with the prostate.”

“Now, let’s get you into a gown and a room, okay?”
