You're Beautiful To Me

After my ten minutes are up the nurse comes back and as I leave the room I ask if they can get Miles some more blankets and the nurse smiles warmly and says she will take care of it. I walk back to the waiting room and tell Frank which room he's going to and he pulls me in for a hug before leaving the room and I walk over and collapse down next to Anna. "Come here baby" I say softly as I open my arms and Anna slides across to slump against my side, my arms wrapping around her as she lets out a small whine and I gently guide her over to sit in my lap. "Are you alright baby?" I ask as she lays back against my chest and she shrugs her shoulders before saying "Is Miles ok?" "Yeah he'll be just fine" I reassure her, my arms tightening around her and she sighs before saying "Why did he do that?" "I don't know baby, I think he's just scared and confused." We fall into silence after that, me just holding Anna close and a few minutes later Frank comes back into the room with red swollen eyes and dried tear tracks on his cheeks and says "You wanna go see him?" to Anna. Anna lets out a small sniffle and nods, climbing off my lap and Frank takes her out into the hallway before coming back alone and sitting beside me. "What happened?" He asks softly as he slides his arm around my waist and I lean into his side as I tell him about searching the house before finding him in the pool. "I thought he was dead Frankie. He wasn't breathing and he was cold, so so cold and I tried so hard but I didn't know if I...." I start to get too choked up to speak and Frank just tightens his arms around and presses soft kisses into my hair before softly saying "Baby you saved his life, you did everything right." "Then why do I feel like I failed? Why do I feel like I'm losing him?" I choke out and Frank just sighs and presses another kiss to my hair.

Fifteen minutes later Anna still hasn't come back so Frank and I get up and wander down the hallway to Miles' room, planning on getting her and going to the cafeteria for coffee while we wait for Miles to wake up but when we walk into the room we find Anna laying in bed with Miles, his body curled into her side as she lays with her arms securely around him and they're talking in whispered voices. "Oh thank god" I gasp out as I drop Franks hand and rush across the room, Miles turning to face me and I reach down and pull the blanket back, grabbing his small body and picking him up as I crush him to my chest. I feel Miles' arms wrap around my neck as I let out a small sob, more tears falling down my cheeks as I bury my face in his hair and he wraps his legs around my waist aswell as he cuddles me back. "I love you so so much baby" I whisper in his ear before pressing a soft kiss to his cheek and Miles nuzzles his face into my neck as he says "I love you too daddy." I feel a warm hand touch my back before it slides further around me and I turn, making sure I'm careful of the drip attached to the back of Miles' hand, so Frank can hold us, Miles trapped between our chests and Frank leans in and starts whispering into Miles' ear, making him giggle softly. When we're done with the cuddle I gently lay Miles back on the bed and he snuggles back into Anna's side as Frank grabs the chair and moves it closer to the bed, taking a seat and pulling me to sit in his lap. "Allie, baby why did you go into the pool?" I ask and he turns his head to look at me, opening his mouth to answer when he's cut off by a doctor and an unfamiliar man in a suit coming into the room.
