《Seeing Double》55

"Stay awake for me baby." Tobin says. "We gotta get going."
"Okay." I sleepily mumble as Tobin finishes dressing me. "Stupid early surgery."
"You can sleep later." Tobin says and intertwines our hands.
Tobin leads me out of the room and down to the lobby where we are met by the whole team.
"Hi?" I say.
"Ready to go?" Alyssa asks.
"Uh?"
"Oh we're all going." Mal says.
"Well okay then." I say then all of us pile into the vans and head off to the hospital.
Tobin is driving our van which includes Kelley, Christen, Alex, Ash, Ali, and Alyssa.
As Tobin is driving she reaches over and grabs my hand then she brings it to her lips and kisses it. She then rests my hand on her thigh before she wordlessly rubs my knuckles the rest of the way to the hospital.
"You ready?" Tobin asks after she's parked.
"I guess." I mumble then get out of the car and walk into the Hospital.
I check in at the front desk then I go sit and wait for my name to be called.
"O'HARA." Someone yells.
I along with everyone from the team get up and walk towards the door.
"Family only." The nurse says.
"They are family." I say.
"Well okay then." The nurse says with a small smile then motions us into the surgery prep area.
We follow the nurse to the large corner room and everybody files inside.
"Please put that gown on then get on the bed." The nurse says then she leaves.
I grab the gown then head to the bathroom and change out of my clothes and into the gown. I tie the gown in the back then I return to the room and lay on the bed.

"Here." Tobin says and covers me in warm blankets.
"That's nice." I mumble.
A couple minutes later the nurse come in the room and starts the IV then an anesthesiologist and my surgeon come in and explain the surgery.
"When will we be able to see her again?" I hear Kelley say.
"Around 2 pm." The surgeon dude says so I pull on Tobin's hand.
"Yes?" Tobin says.
"I love you." I sleepily mumble.
"I love you Astrid." Tobin says then she kisses my forehead.
"We're ready Doctor." A nurse says.
Everyone hugs me and one by one they leave then some nurse rolls me back to the OR which is filled with about 8 people. Once I'm where I need to be the anesthesiologists appears over me and place's a mask over my mouth and nose.
"Count back from a hundred." The anesthesiologists says.
Nah fuck that.
I'm just gonna sleep.

"Alright." Ali says after four hours of waiting in the waiting room. "We aren't going to be able to see Astrid for another 2 hours so why don't half of us go get something to eat then when we get back the other half goes?"
"Sounds like a plan." Pinoe says.
"You want anything Tobs?" Ash asks.
"Um..." I say and look up at the keeper. "Just...just get me whatever you think I'll like."
"I got ya." Ash says with a smile.
I try to smile back, but I'm too worried so I just put my head in my hands and rest my elbows on my knees.
"Hey." Ash says and squats in front of me so I look at her. "Astrid is right where she needs to be. These are some of the best surgeons in the world and they will take real good care of Astrid. Besides, this is Astrid we're talking about. That girl played a World Cup semi final while basically on her death bed...she'll be okay."

I try to say something, but I don't trust my voice so I just smile and nod
"We'll be back soon."
Ash and some other people on the team leave then Mal comes over and plops her self down in my lap.
"Hey Mal." I say and wrap my arms around the youngster.
"Hi." Mal says then she leans her head on my shoulder. "Astrid's going to be okay right?"
"God I hope so." I say.
Mal and I sit in silence for a while until the people that went for food return then we eat the food they got for us.
After I've eaten I stare at the wall for a while until I hear a voice speak.
"Family of Astrid O'Hara."
"Yes." I say and get out of my chair then approach the surgeon. "We're her family."
"The surgery was a success and we believe we were able to catch the cancer in time."
WELL THANK FUCK FOR THAT.
"...She's in her room and if you'd like I can take you all to her."
"Yes please." Mal says.
"Follow me please." The surgeon says then we follow him through the hospital to Astrid's room.
Once at the room I go in first and sit down next to my keeper.
"Toby." Astrid says with a dopey smile.
"Hi baby." I say and kiss her head. "How are you feeling?"
"Fuzzy." Astrid says then she giggles and looks at Kelley. "Kelley are we quadruplets?"
"No?" Kelley says. "Why?"
"There's three of you." Astrid says and giggles again.
"You're a dork." Kelley says.
"Where's Mom?"
"It's storming in Atlanta so their plane is grounded."
"Stupid mother nature." Astrid mumbles.
The whole team sit around the room and we listen as Astrid babbles on about any and everything
"Toby." Astrid says, but I can tell she's trying to whisper.
"Yes?" I say with a smile
"I'm gonna marry you one day."
"Oh you are?" I question with a smile then look at everyone who are as amused as me.
"Shhhhh" Astrid says. "Don't tell Toby."
"Okay Astrid." I say with a smile. "I'll be sure not to let her know."
"Yay." Astrid says with a smile. "Oh also don't tell her, but she has a really cute butt."
"You're such a dork." Kelley says.
"Meanie." Astrid says with a pout.
"Oh hush." Kelley says.
Astrid keeps pouting so Kelley points at me.
"Look Astrid. It's Tobin."
Astrid looks at me and immediately smiles.
"Hi Toby." Astrid says.
"Hi baby." I say and kiss her hand.
"You're so pretty." Astrid says making me blush.
"You should see my view." I say as my girlfriend looks around the room.
"Mal Pal." Astrid says and smiles at Mal.
"Hi Astrid." Mal says.
Astrid continues talking to everyone while I just stare at her and everyone once in a while I kiss her hand just to calm my nerves. I also only have on thought on my mind.
I need to buy Astrid a ring.

When Plush comes to Shove
An: So the last synopsis wasn’t really all that good, it was just some mumbo jumbo with no actual point to it so I decided to make a new one that’s a bit more accurate. Leo Lush, just your average everyday (slightly chubby) schmuck, or at least he would be if he didn’t carry around a stuffed toy everywhere he went.I mean, he was a man who could read the atmosphere a bit so put it away in his bag whenever having a stuffed toy out would be rude but other than that he brought it with him all the time, it was a memento from his girlfriend who had died three years ago and keeping it close made him feel better. That’s also why his classmates gave him the nickname “Plush”, though that's neither here nor there. One day at the train station he’d lost his dearest stuffed toy, one of his classmates found it and lobbed it towards him, something that they’d already done many times before, but this time something went wrong and Leo found himself falling in front of the train due to the force of the throw. Now follow Leo as the spirit that developed in his stuffed toy and killed him forces his ghost into another world to possess a different stuffed toy. He doesn’t know much about the world or why he’s there but what he does know is that according to a magic book his girlfriend was also sent to this very world when she died in a plane accident three years ago. An: For those who want to know a bit more about what kind of story this will be: I want it to be a chill feel-good story and stay as far away from those despair-fest stories as possible (No offense to people who enjoy them, I’m just not one of you)Let me make something clear; I’m not writing this story with hope of it becoming really top tier among RRL (Though it did get above rank 500 once which I’m still very proud of even though it’s gone back down to ~850 at the time of writing this) I just want to write a story that I would enjoy reading, that’s why I’ll be mostly skipping over a lot of the parts that I skip when I read other stories, such as stats, the exact value of money and other such precise statistics that no one(as far as I’m aware) really cares about all that much. Just feels like a lot of effort for something superfluous.There’s a single exception and that’s one of the battles, it’s not a despair-fest or anything but it’s got a different feel than the rest of the story due to me being in a funky mood while I was writing it.

The Granddaughter of Time
Teresa Hargrove was okay with giving up. She knew the Earth was doomed and there was nothing to be done about it. What she was not okay with was the Future, an enigmatic woman nearly fanatical in her devotion to making a difference, dragging her along — seemingly, to prove her wrong. It turns out though that the Future is very hard to understand. This story contains heavy themes, including mental illness, existential crisis and death. However, I still tried to eventually convey a message of hope. Several mythical and metaphorical beings in the shape of humans will appear in most chapters. However, they are not meant to be of a specific ethnicity or social background and are instead perceived differently by people around them. For your reading pleasure, feel free to imagine them any way you’d like, even if your imagination contradicts descriptions from the story. Enjoy!~
