Arthur had finally managed to persuade his parents to leave Addy’s side and grab something to eat that wasn’t a foul tasting sandwich brought to them from the cafeteria. Promising he wouldn’t leave her in their absence Arthur sat beside her bed as she slept, absentmindedly flicking through some magazine. Since that night Arthur had made himself as busy as possible. The only exceptions being when he visiting Addison or Rosie made him take a timeout. He still couldn’t believe everything this family had been through, and watching Addy sleep was a painful reminder that he almost lost a second sibling. Arthur hated that he hadn’t been able to help her more, and felt guilty that he hadn’t been able to save her leg despite knowing there was nothing he could have done. If had tried anything he might have simply made things worse. Hearing her begin to stir Arthur glanced up with a tentative smile, “Morning sleepy.”
