Devil Doesn't Bargain

Not Over Yet

Lizzie smiles at Robbie who returns it. His finger twitches against her finger before pointing in the direction of where Sir Waddles lays.

"You want him near your face baby?"

His finger twitches and she moves him by his face, the soft fur tickling his face. 

Two months later, Y/N has gained the ability to move his body but is yet to open his eyes or talk. Scarlett is sitting by his bed holding his hand reading to him while Lizzie and Robbie are out getting food. 

While she reads she doesn't notice his eyes fluttering open, blinking to deal with the new found light. He tilts his head in her direction admiring her face, he tries to speak but his throat hurts. 

He reaches up to touch her face turning her head to look at him. She smiles at him before her eyes widen once she notices his eyes open.

"Oh my god you can open your eyes now."

He nods his head before pointing at his throat.

"What, is it sore?"

He nods his head before trying to reach for the water. Scarlett hands it to him and he drinks the water, some dribbling down onto his chest. She wipes it away with a tissue as he swallows.

"Thanks," he whispers, his voice hoarse. 

"No problem. Look at you talking and all already."

He lightly chuckles before drinking more water till he finishes the bottle. 

"Can you get more?"

"Of course."

She kisses his head before leaving the room to get him more water. Lizzie and Robbie come back not noticing Y/N is looking directly at them.

"Hey sweetie."

They start putting the food down.

"Hi mom."

They both stop what they're doing slowly turning around seeing Y/N looking at them with a smile.

"Oh my baby."

Lizzie rushes over pulling him into a hug which he returns tearing up, happy to see her again. Robbie walks over after putting the rest of the stuff down, she moves out of the way allowing him to hug Y/N. 

"Hi dad."

"Hey kiddo."

He ruffles Y/N's hair as Scarlett walks in with two more water bottles. 

"Scarlett he can-"

"See and talk? I know."

"How?"

"He did it while I was reading to him."

Lizzie looks at her son who chuckles before smiling.

"You do everything when she's near."

"She's so pretty."

He smiles lovingly at Scarlett who hands him one of the water bottles allowing him to drink some. 

"You're lucky we love you or we would have something to say about this."

He smiles at Lizzie before kissing her cheek.

"I love you mom."

"I love you too sweetie."

He takes the last bottle from Scarlett chugging it down like he did the others. 

"Someone's thirsty."

"For-"

Lizzie puts her hand over his mouth raising an eyebrow making him awkwardly chuckle against her hand, Scarlett and Robbie laughing at him. 

He sits himself up once she lets go of his mouth, all of them eating food with Lizzie and Robbie giving him some of theirs. He finishes first and looks at Scarlett intensely.

"What?"

He just stares making them all confused.

"You want some?"

He shakes his head before patting his lap.

"I'm eating."

He grunts before patting his lap again as Lizzie and Robbie chuckle to themselves. Scarlett gets her food and climbs onto his bed sitting in his lap, resting her food beside him. 

He smiles happily wrapping his arms around her nuzzling his face into her neck as she chuckles at him before he pulls away letting her eat as he holds her hips. 

The adults start talking as Y/N closes his eyes with his hands rubbing over Scarlett's hips as he starts to fall asleep. Scarlett gets up putting her rubbish in the bin as he lays himself down again. 

"Come cuddle."

Scarlett chuckles walking over to him and climbing into his bed snuggling up to him as he holds her close to him. 

"Mom."

"Yes baby?"

"Can you mind Sir Waddles?"

"Of course."

He hands Lizzie his penguin teddy before smiling to himself as he leans his head against Scarlett's head. 

Y/N falls asleep quickly as Scarlett traces shapes on his chest. Lizzie smiles at them happy for her friend and son to have each other.
