(Sugar, Israel's teddy bear)
Annalise's house (view from house, general idea of it anyways):
Annalise's P.O.V.
I sighed and closed the door, watching Chase drive off. I turned around to see Izzi staring at me. I kneel down smiling.
"So. What are we going to play now?"
He thinks for a moment and then says, "JENGA!" I laughed as I watched him run over and get the game.
"Take it easy Izzi, there's no rush they aren't going to disappear anytime soon."
He joins me on the floor sitting cris-cross and we start to play.
~ Bag of potato chips, left over lunch and 24 games later ~
"Alright Izzi. We've now eaten and played more than enough games for today, why don't we call it a night?"
He looked slightly disappointed,"Okay." He said sadly.
"If you hurry up and put your pajamas on I'll read you a story." With that he brightened up and bolted from the room. Seeing him like that gave me hope although I knew I shouldn't let myself feel it, the doctor said he would have energy bursts and then be extremely weak again.
I cleaned up the game and headed to his room. He was struggling with his top and I helped him pull it over his head. Ah, the problems of 7 yr. olds.
We then went to the bathroom across from his room and I helped him brush his teeth.
After that he smuggled into bed and I started to read him his favorite story: Sleeping Beauty. I don't know why, but it's his favorite.
"Once upon a time..."
~ five minutes later ~
"...and they lived happily ever after." I look to see Izzi's eyes closed. I kissed his forehead and gently slipped out of his bed.
I put the book on his small nightstand, and turned off his lamp. I quietly walked out of his room, closing the door behind me.
I made sure the doors were locked and went back to my room. I grabbed a tank top and pair some leggings heading into the bathroom connected to my room. I placed the clothes on the counter, and turned on the shower.
