"Really?" The child perked up in happiness once more..
"Of course." Leonica assured and soon, the bundle of joy was out of her hair, chattering about God knows what with her father.
Now that all the guests had gone, Leonica felt less tensed and sighed out. However, the released tension didn't last for long as she soon remembered that there was an unwanted presence in the room.
Turning around, her eyes landed on Gabriel who was seated comfortable in a chair, quietly having watched the entire ordeal and best believe when he says that he was far from pleased. with what he saw. But due to the children being around and very much not wanting to repeat the same incident with Daisy crying, he had kept his temper to himself.
"So, are you two dating?"
The sudden question caught Leonica by surprise.
""Excuse me?"
"You and that Richardson bastard," He paused, eyes narrowing on her face when she glared at him for his use of foul language in their sleeping son's presence. "Are you?"
"That's none of your business," Putting her back towards him, she arranged Ashley's duvet, tucking in the places that weren't properly set. "Now if that's all you have to say," She turned back to him and smiled. A smile that was far from being nice. "Politely see yourself out."
Gabriel's eyes twitched and he rose up from his chair with a wicked smile on his lips. "I should leave?" He walked towards her. Leonica however, held her ground, staring him in the eyes as he approached. "Even when i'm the one who paid for this room?" "Damn right."
Taking a moment, Gabriel looked around. The hospital ward, a VIP ward to be precises, consisted of two red plush loveseats, a carpet of matching color, bathroom in the farthest corner, Fifty five inch television and lastly, a comfortable mattress, So what was stopping him from staying?

"This room is more than fit to house all three of us?"
"What?"
He pointed to one of the couch. "There's two of that. You can take one,

while I take the other. Fair?" Without waiting for her to respond, Gabriel walked past her, tucking the ends of Ashley's duvet he had kicked off in such a short amount of time. "You..."
"Mommy," Ashley sleepily called out, cutting his mother off. He barely had his eyes opened as he asked. "Gabriel's gonna stay with us, right?"
"Of course, Champ." Gabriel responded before Leonica could, leaning down and placing a kiss on the child's forehead. "I'm gonna be here. So, go to bed now."
With a hum, the younger boy finally fell into his abys of sleep and Gabriel threw a triumph smirk at Leonica before going to claim a spot on one of the couches.
The white-ette, angered by the situation, squeezed her hands. But at last, she sighed out in bitter defeat, knowing she couldn't drive him anymore because of Ashley.
"Fine," She relented, taking her seat on the opposite couch and getting as comforty for the night as the couch allowed. "You can stay, but don't ever dream of getting this merit again, because i won't allow it. Ever." Arranging his arms behind his head, Gabriel smirked up at the ceilings. "Yeah? Well, we'll see about that."

Shall We Go For A Quick Cup Of Coffee, Gabriel?
Waking up to a warm tucked in blanket was the last thing Leonica expected. Pushing herself into a seating position, she surveyed the room, looking around for the only culprit that could have tucked her while she had been asleep. Her eyes landed on Ashley's sleep form firstly,. wires and wires connected to his arms and hospital machine humming softly.
She smiled at his peaceful expression despite the pain he might be suffering. Next, she spotted the white nylon and plates on the table, making her brows raise in a questioning manner.
Was that food? Bought by... Gabriel?
As unbelievable as it sounded, the white-ette knew that was the truth, after all, the hospital didn't allow just anyone in. In other to see a patient you need to provide identification and authorization passes and so far, no authorization had been given, meaning that no one had stepped in. Which proved that Gabriel had indeed bought the food.
As much as Leonica didn't want to admit it, Gabriel's action caused some sort of warmth to spread in her chest. But then she recalled that the man himself was no where to be seen.
Looking away, she continued to search for the noirette a weird sense of disappointment sipping in the moment she didn't see him present.
'Makes sense,' A voice in the back of her head chipped. 'He has a family to return to, so why should he remain here?'
Standing up, she walks towards the food on the center table and begins examining it. From the hospital bed, Ashley stirs upon smelling the satisfactory aroma of the food.
"Ngh," Looking around and getting his bearings, the child rubbed his eyes before pushing himself into a seating position, spotting his mother digging through a bag of food on the table. "Mommy?"
At the sound of her son's voice, Leonica's head snapped up, a beam replacing the frown that had been on her face, as she approached Ashley.
"Hey baby, how are you feeling?"
"Hungry." Ashley responded as he leaned into his mother's touch, enjoying the way she ruffled his hair and placed kisses on his head.
If not for the minor pains he was feeling, Ashley was more than ready to continue his life this way. But he couldn't, because freaking fuck, no one ever told him that getting hit by a car would hurt this much.
