Realistic or Modern Foster Life

[Aryn Harris]

Amanda lays there, her eyes growing heavy. She lets out a yawn and continues to look at Jason. "I love you so much...." She murmurs, kissing his forehead gently.

The doctor would have been listening to her for a moment, smiling at her reaction and interactions with the baby. "You did very well today, Amanda... it was all worth it, hm?" He said quietly, smiling while he crosses his arms at his chest.

 

[Aryn Harris]

Amanda looks up and smiles. "It was so worth it." She says, and yawns again.

"We get a lot of people come in like you in the same situation. You held yourself together far more than others. You should be proud of yourself." He nods and gives a reassuring smile.

 

[Aryn Harris]

Amanda smiles. "Really?" She questions, still looking at Jason.


(Oh! And this is Jason.

)

 

[DrTrollinski]

"Really really." He says, giving a bright smile.

 

[Aryn Harris]

Amanda laughs and smiles at Jason. "When do you have to put him in the incubator?" She asks softly.

 

[DrTrollinski]

"We'll give you a little while longer with him. He seems happy enough for now - we'll try and wait for when your family gets back." He says to her.

 

[Hibiscus]

"Nuggets, two orders of fries, a quarter pounder, and two strawberry milkshakes." He ordered, pulling up to the next window to pay and get their meals. Once they were in Jack's hands he passed them back to Jackson, "Don't eat it yet bud, we will eat with Amanda.". He began the short drive back to the hospital.

 

[Aryn Harris]

Amanda nods her head. "Thank you." She says, and smiles down at Jason as she waits for Jack and Jackson to get back.

 

[DrTrollinski]

He sighed at the news that he couldn't eat right away but he didn't object and merely lied back in his chair. He shut his eyes while the journey went on.

 

[Hibiscus]

They actually pulled into an actual parking spot this time, "Grab the food buddy." With that he turned off the car and hopped out, opening Jackson's door.

 

[Aryn Harris]

Amanda gently rocks Jason as he opens his eyes and she gives a small smile at him. "Hey Kid..." She murmurs and places a finger in his palm, which he immediately grabs a hold of.

 

[DrTrollinski]

He'd do as he asked and pick up the food, using his free hand to hold Jack's hand. He'd allow himself to be lead to wherever.

 

[Hibiscus]

They were inside in a few steps, wasting no time to get to Amanda. "Hey Amanda, how are you feeling?" He brought Jackson to the bed side.

 

[DrTrollinski]

"Hi, Amanda..." He says quietly, smiling. He sets the food down on the bedside table.

 

[Aryn Harris]

Amanda looks up as they walk in. "Hey. I'm feeling good." She murmurs. "A little tired though." She adds.

 

[DrTrollinski]

".. Why don't ya sleep?" He suggests simply. He'd look at Jason for a moment and then up at Jack. "Can I eat my food, daddy?" He asks in anticipation.

 

[Hibiscus]

"Of course son." Jack gave a smile before looking onto Jason. "He is right Amanda, sleeping wouldn't do you bad right now."

 

[Aryn Harris]

Amanda nods her head slowly. "Yeah. Okay." She murmurs. "Do you wanna hold Jason?" She asks Jack.

 

[DrTrollinski]

"Of course son." Jack gave a smile before looking onto Jason. "He is right Amanda, sleeping wouldn't do you bad right now."

Jackson instantly went into the McDonalds bag and pulled out his chicken nugget Happy Meal and his strawberry milkshake. He took a seat on one of the chairs that was set beside the bed and instantaneously began tucking in to his food; he seemed far more happier as soon as he did so much as taste it. The color seemed to gradually return to his face now he was filling his empty stomach. 


[QUOTE="Aryn Harris]Amanda nods her head slowly. "Yeah. Okay." She murmurs. "Do you wanna hold Jason?" She asks Jack.

"Can I hold him when I'm done eatin', too?" He asks, shoving a nugget into his mouth and looking between Amanda and Jack.

 

[Aryn Harris]

Amanda nods her head slowly. "You just have to be careful. And wash your hands when you're done eating, please." She says.

 

[DrTrollinski]

He nods and continues to eat as quickly as he can. He'd slurp on his milkshake occasionally - he manages to work through the nuggets quickly, and now is only left with maybe a handful of fries. He drinks his milkshake for a short while and then slows his pace on eating his food. He'd look like he had a permanent smile glued to his face - he continuously looks up at Amanda and Jason, almost seeming excited. When he looked at Jason he'd appear to think to himself for a moment and would also seem slightly unnerved, but continues eating nonetheless.


After a couple more minutes he would have finished off his fries and his milkshake. He places the items down on the bedside table and then looks around for a place to wash his grease-covered hands. The doctor would have been nearby; he'd walk over and pat Jackson on the shoulder - he'd lead him off to the large sink where all of the doctors and nurses usually wash their hands, and also supervises him to make sure he washes his hands with the antibacterial soap. Jackson sees him as some sort of authoritative figure and doesn't refuse a word he says - the doctor also gives him an antibacterial wipe so that he can wipe the excess food from his face. He'd walk him back over and Jackson would stand at the side of Amanda's bed.


"Can I hold him now?" He asks, seeming quite excited.

 

[Aryn Harris]

"Of course." She says quietly. "Sit down." She adds.

 

[DrTrollinski]

He'd climb up onto the bed with a smile, sitting down beside her and angling herself towards her so he'd be able to be reached easier. He'd move slowly and carefully to avoid making too much noise; he'd cross his legs on the bed and inch closer to her so he's away from the edge. He nervously turns his arms over so that he's in a suitable position to hold the infant.


".. will I hurt him?" He asks out of concern despite his intention to be as gentle as possible; his smile would fade slightly.
