The morning after..
Alex POV
grrr... my head hurts so bad... and my arm is killing me...
I look over and see that its 3:45. why am I up?
I look over and I see Tobin sleeping so peaceful.
Did I really kiss Tobin???
I really did enjoy the kiss.. it probably was one of the best kisses I have ever had before...
She doesn't know about my past...
What if she runs for the hills???
I don't know her... she doesn't know me...
I really like Tobin...
But I really don't want to rush into anything with her...
I really need to talk to Tobin..
I also need to talk to Logan about this...
I'm just trying to get my head wrapped about things..
Maybe we could be friends first then see how it goes... Yeah that could work...
I really need to try to get some more sleep....
Tobin POV
I look over at the clock and its only 4:25..
Damn....
I can't believe I kissed her....
But Damn her lips were so soft... so smooth...
What if it's too soon grrr...
What if she doesn't want to date???
Maybe we just got caught up in the moment???
I mean I really don't know her...
She doesn't know me....
I don't want to get my heart broken again....
Just as I am getting over my broken heart...
She wouldn't do that... would she??? Nah....
All I know is I love being around her and Logan....
They put a smile on my face, when I am around them I feel so alive...
Maybe we should be friends at first????
Maybe we just need to talk about it....
I really need to get some more sleep..
Alex POV
I wake up in a lot of pain my head is killing me I really need to take some medicine, but I can't move because Tobin arm is around my stomach.
I mean I don't mind her arm around me..
I start to shift a little, then Tobin started to shift a little.
I looked over towards Tobin
"Good morning."
"Good morning."
I finally was able to get out of bed and walk towards the bathroom, I had to get my medicine, after I took my medicine.
I went in to Logan room to check on him, I opened the door and he was sitting on his bed watching some cartoons.
"Hey baby"
" Hey Momma"
I walk over to him and sit on the bed. He put his little arms around me and gave me a little hug..
"Where is Toby?"
"Baby I think she is sleeping"
"Momma I'm going to go wake her up?"
"Baby I don't think that's a good idea..."
Next thing I know he is running out the door towards Tobin room. So I get up and follow him when I get to Tobin room.
I finally get to her room and Logan has already jumped on her bed, now she is tickling him.
"Stop Toby"
"Stop Toby."
I am just standing at the door, and just watching the interaction, she is so good with him, she has that beautiful smile on her face, most people wouldn't be this happy if they just got woken up.
"Toby"
"Yeah Buddy?"
"Can we make pancakes"
"Pwease."
"You bet you wanna help?"
"Yay!!"
Then next thing I know he is running past me
"Come on momma I'm going to make pancakes with Toby"
So I just look over at Tobin just stretching and finally getting out of the bed, then she walks pass me and runs her hand over my arm, then kisses my forehead and says
"Come on we need to check on Logan before he breaks something, or gets hurt, and we need to get some breakfast."
I just smile and start to walk down the stairs, but I'm really confused Tobin is acting normal like nothing happen last night.
Well she did kiss my head so she does remember the kiss I know I do...
Well why didn't she try to kiss me again??
Did it not mean anything to her??
Maybe she didn't like the kiss..
SHIT!!! I wish I knew what she was thinking about...
Anyways I want to go slow what is my problem why am I getting so worked up...grrr
I walk into the kitchen and Logan is standing on a chair and Tobin is standing behind him helping him stir the bater.
"Momma"
"Hey baby"
"Alex would you like coffee? wait do you like coffee?"
"I would love some coffee"
She grabs a mug then fills it with coffee then walks it over to me and hands it to me. she smiles and winks at me.
Now I'm so confused..
"Thanks Tobin"
"So Logan what time is your game today?"
He held up two fingers "Two"
"You coming momma?"
"You bet baby."
"Yay!!!"
Then he looked over at Tobin
"You coming too Toby?"
She smiled "Yup I wouldn't miss it"
"Yay!!! Toby!!! Momma!!"
I am looking at Logan and he is so excited for us to be going to his game.. I can't wait to see him play...
After breakfast we were just watching television just relaxing before Logans game I really should maybe start to get ready because it will take me the longest..
"I'm going to go take a shower"
" You need me to help you?" Tobin said while looking around
"Sure please"
She walked over to Logan "Hey buddy I'm going to help your mom get into the shower"
"OK Toby"
"Are you going to be ok watching your cartoons?"
"Yup"
I'm walking up the stairs. "Baby when I get done you are next"
"OK momma"
I start to walk into Tobin room.
"Alex are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm good, just thinking"
I grabbed my stuff and I walk into the bathroom, I sit on the toilet I really need to talk to Tobin.
"Tobin I need to talk to you about something?"
"Everything ok Alex"
I start to mess with my shirt, then looked towards the ground and I'm about to talk.
"Alex you can talk to me"
"Well it was about that kiss last night"
"Oh yeah" she said
"Yeah let me tell you I really enjoyed it"
I really want to do it again....
She grabbed my face and lifted my chin up.
"Talk to me Alex."
Here goes....
"Look I really like you Tobin, and you are such a great person, but I want to get to know you better before I rush into anything, so I'm so sorry."
"Alex I am find with that."
Wait what?????
"I really don't want to rush anything either, I am fine with going slow"
"We can go on some dates and get to know each other"
She is Amazing....
"Are you sure?"
All she could do is smile and she winked at me "Yes"
"I also have to talk to Logan to make sure he is ok with it, but I'm sure he will be happy it's you because he is attached to you"
Now she is on her knees right in front of me..
"Alex I will wait a day, a week, a month, a year for you just so you know."
I think I want to kiss her after that... shit.... no I want to take it slow....
"So how about I get a sitter and we'll go out on a date?"
"Sounds perfect"
"So how about we get you into the shower" She said with a wink,
So she helps me take my shirt off over my shoulder, also she helped me take the sling off my arm.
"Alex I am going to wait outside if you need anything just holler at me"
"Thanks Tobin"
She walks out the door, as I get into the shower.
I'm so glad we are going to take it slow, I can't wait to get to know her, I mean I think I am falling for her but I just don't want to mess this up At least she wants to take it slow.
But I want to kiss her again..grr..
I finally finish in the shower and walk out of the tub.
I get my underwear and pants on, but I need help with my shirt.
"Tobin can you come here a minute"
She walks in, looking at the ground..
"you need help?"
"Yes please"
So she helps me and of course she is so careful with my arm.'
"Thank you Tobin"
So we finish up in the bathroom, then we walk downstairs to get Logan ready for a bath.
Tobin POV
As I am walking down the stairs I'm excited to get to know Alex and she wants to take it slow my heart can only take so much heartbreak....
I'm also excited to go on this date..
I literally can't stop smiling..
I walk over to the couch where Logan is sitting still watching cartoons.
"Hey buddy you ready to get in the tub?"
"yup"
"Hey Alex I'm going to go get the tub ready for Logan Ok"
OK"
"Tobin I can help."
"You rest you have a long day ahead of you ok"
So I run upstairs and Logan is following behind me
"Toby"
"Yeah buddy"
"Are you and momma friends yet?"
I start to smile at him "Yeah buddy we are"
"Cool"
"I'm excited that my she is coming to my game"
"Buddy you know she is excited to go to your game also"
He just got the biggest smile on his face. "Really Toby?"
I patted his head "Yup"
"I hope you score for her today buddy"
"Oh Toby I will" he said with a smile
This little boy is so adorable .
"Oh Toby I'm going to score two" he said as he held up two
"For you and her"
"Well lil man if you score two goals I'm going to take you somewhere special"
His eyes lit up. "Where Toby?"
"Oh it will be a surprise"
"K. I'm gonna score"
So we're leaving for the game and I yelled for Logan "Logan where is your jersey?"
he holds up his little arms. "we get new ones"
I looked over at Alex and we both looked really confused on why he was getting a new jersey, KO and HAO never told us that they were getting new ones, maybe they just forgot
to tell us. So we get into the jeep and we were finally on our way just listening to the radio and Logan is talking our ears off
"Momma you excited to see me play"
"you bet baby"
I look over at Alex and she is just smiling and singing towards herself she looks so happy, so now I just want to smile I'm so glad she gets to see Logan play she is going to be so proud of him and how well he is doing in soccer.
When we get to the game HAO and KO walked up to us
"Hey Tobin"
"Hey Alex"
"Hey Guys"
Then they walked over to Alex and gave her a hug
"Alex it is good to see you, how are you feeling?"
She smiled and said "I'm doing well thanks, also really excited to see Logan play"
"Oh yeah he will probably is super excited" HAO said.
I started to talk to HAO and KO "So why did they get new jerseys?"
Then they both looked at me like I had two heads.
"What do you mean new jerseys?" HAO said
"Well Logan said he was getting a new one today"
They both start to laugh Ok now I'm really confused.
"Well Logan came to us and ask if he could get a different number"
I looked over at Alex and we were so confused.
We were at practice and after the practice Logan walked over towards us.
"HOA and KO can I ask you guys something?"
"Sure buddy what's up?"
"Um..Uh...do you think I can I get a different number?"
"Sure why?"
"I just want another number"
"Ok what number?"
"number 30"
"OK"
"We can do that for you buddy."
He had the biggest smile on his face...
So we were about to finish cleaning up then he walked over again and he said.
"I want to have a number that makes me think of my mom and Toby"
we both smiled at him..
"Yeah my momma favorite number is 13 and Toby is number 17"
"Buddy I am sure they would really appreciate that"
Then he has a little smile on his face "I love my momma so much and I want to show her that I love her"
"Oh buddy I'm sure she knows you love her"
"Buddy I am sure she is so proud of you.."
Then he got a smile on his face.
"Toby means a lot to me too, she is my buddy, she took care of me while my momma was in the hospital. No one has ever done that for me before, I'm not use to people actually
being nice to me. people usually walk out on me"
KO bent down and said.
"Logan I know that Tobin really enjoys hanging out with you and she really cares about you, she would do anything for you I hope you know that. I've known Tobin for about 5 years now, and the way you make her smile I know she is proud of you, Also she calls you her your buddy"
His eyes lit up..
"Really"
"Yup"
So he was about to go leave.
"Logan you are going to make them both proud, and they are going to love that you changed your number for them"
"I hope so."
Then he ran off to get the rest of his stuff.
Wow I can't believe he did that..
"Really that is so sweet, I love him so much" Alex said
So we sat down and were waiting for the game to start, we saw Logan run on the field getting warmed up. I looked over towards Alex and she got a huge smile on her face.
Alex POV
Well Logan scored twice and he just pointed to the air when he scored and pointed to his cleats..
Logan is doing great I am so proud of him and how much he has improved since he first started with this team..
I love him so much..
I look over at Tobin and she is just as excited as I am to be watching Logan play.
I hope this game is over soon I really don't feel good...
my head hurts...
my arm is starting to hurt, maybe my med are wearing off..
I don't want to make Tobin leave for me...
I can stick it out..
Well the game was over so we were about to walk over to the team to talk to Logan and I stood up and I got a little dizzy.
I really need to sit back down...
"Alex..."
"Alex.."
I stand up again and I reached to Tobin arm..
"Tobin I don't feel goo......"
As I tried to grab her arm I didn't grab it in time I fell right to the ground.
Shit why didn't I tell them early..
I just pushed myself...
I wasn't ready...
but Logan face...
Tobin POV
Oh shit she just pasted out..
"Alex.."
"Alex..."
She tried to grab my arm but she fell right to the ground I am on my knees trying to get her to wake up, all these people are around
I yell "CALL 911!!!"
Logan came running over
"Momma"
He bent down right next to me and his little face got sad and I looked over and he a tear falling down his face..
I wiped the tear away...
"Logan she is a fighter... be strong for your mom and me ok"
"OK Toby"
I felt Alex pulse and it was not weak but not strong..
Where is the Ambulance..
Finally they showed up I really wish I knew what was wrong with her...
did she push it too much...
did I push her too much...
So they take her into the ambulance..
Logan grabbed my hand "Come on buddy were going to the hospital"
"OK"
So we are walking to the car I want to make Logan to take his mind off his mom.
"Logan you did great today"
"Thanks Toby"
"Hey Toby I scored twice" he said as he held up his two fingers.
I padded his head "Yeah you did"
"So I get my surprise?"
"Yeah you will.. but not yet"
He now has a smile on his face, because he really wants that surprise.
We finally make it to the hospital, and Perry comes us to us while we were trying to find out what room Alex is in.
"Perry"
"How is Alex"
"Well her brain started to swell again, and that's why she pasted out."
"We had to drain some fluids from her brain again"
"So we are going to run some more test on her"
"how is that possible I thought she was all better?"
"Tobin we are trying to figure that out."
"I think she had a allergic reaction to the Meds she was taking."
"Is she awake?"
"Yeah"
"Can we go see her?"
ALEX POV
Damn I'm back in this hospital...
Did I push myself to much..
Maybe I really should have skipped the game...
NO....
I wanted to see Logan play......
Speaking of Logan where is he at??
Where is Tobin???
I heard a knock on the door then in came running up to me was Logan and Tobin was walking in right behind him.
"Momma"
"Hey Baby"
Tobin walked over and grabbed my hand.
"How are you feeling?"
She is so sweet, I can tell in her eyes that she actually cares about me...
"Well better now"
" I think I just was pushing myself to much to go to Logan game"
"Alex don't say that, you didn't know it was going to happen"
She moved my hair away from my face, and rubs her fingers over my face.
"Perry said that you might still have headaches, and your brain just swelled up, nothing you can do."
How can she be so calm, but all I know is she makes me calm and she also makes Logan calm because he is just watching TV like he knows everything will be ok...
"But why did I get dizzy and get the headaches?"
"Alex that's why we are here to figure out what happen and why it happened."
There is a knock on the door I look over it was Perry.
"Hey Alex how are you?"
"My head hurts a little"
"Well were going to go do a CAT scan on you to make sure the swelling is down and all the fluids are gone"
So I'm on my way to get my cat scan.
"Perry what's Tobin favorite food, or restaurant?"
"She likes pizza, actually anything Italian"
"Ok thanks"
After I got my CAT scan we went back to my room and Tobin and Logan were watching a soccer game, Logan was sitting on Tobin lap.
"Hey guys"
"Momma"
"We are watching Soccer"
We were all just watching the game and there was a knock on the door. we all look over and I want to scream at the person that is standing there..
"Logan....."
"Dad...."
