"He's doing fine," she said. "Are you leaving? Drive safe." "You don't even bother askingto stay," he pouted.
"It's late now so stop being such a queen," Avery said with amusement, before handing Robert to Mrs. Cooper and heading to Hayden's room to tidy it up.
"Avery, we kept Hayden's room exactly the way it was before he left, and we clean it every week, so he can use it as long as we change the sheets," Mrs. Cooper said with Robert in her arms. "You should have toldthat you are coming home." "We decided in the heat of the moment so it was quite rushed." "Yeah, it's alright. Why don't you take Hayden to his room? I will take Robert back to bed," Mrs. Cooper said, before turning to look at Layla. "Layla..." "I want to go to see Hayden's room. I'm not sleepy at all right now!" Without hesitation, Layla followed her mother and brother into Hayden's room.

"Sure!" Avery had missed her daughter as well. "Letgo change Hayden's sheets for him first." "I can help, Mommy!" "Of course!" Avery pulled out clean sheets from the closet and said to Hayden, "Hayden, go wash up." Hayden set his backpack down and took out his pajamas from his luggage, before heading into the bathroom.
As soon as the bathroom door closed, Layla immediately complained to Avery, "Mommy, am I grown up now? I feel like I'm still a little kid!" "Layla, did you try sleeping with Hayden? Avery couldn't help but et chuckle. "You will always be a little girl to me, but you and Hayden are both grown up now." S "I don't want to grow up, Mommy. I want to be your little baby forever." "And you always will be." "I'm also Daddy's little baby." Layla held onto the blanket on Hayden's bed.
"Of course." "Mommy, is Daddy sick again? You never tellanything, but I figured it out. Why else would Dad stay in the hospital?" "Yeah." Avery Jaid the sheets out and confessed, "Your dad is in the ICU right now and he hasn't regained consciousness. He will be fine if he wakes up, though. I went to the hospital to see him just now think he's going to wake up soon." Layla had not thought that her I et father's condition would be severe enough for him to be admitted to the ICU and tears instantly gathered in her eyes. "Layla, go to my room to wait for me. I need to talk to your brother alone." After changing the sheets, Avery took the old ones from Layla's hands.
"Alright!" Once Layla was out of the room, Avery went to place the old sheets into the laundry basket, and shortly after, Hayden stepped out of the bathroom.
Avery knew that it was late and didn't want to take too much of Hayden's time. "Hayden, I need to talk to you about something." Before she began, Hayden already knew what she was about to say. "I know what you want to say, Mom. Uncle Mike talked tojust now." Surprised, she asked, "And what do you think?" "What's between you and Elliot is up to the two of you." Hayden had matured as he grew older. "As long as you are happy." mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
