Jason was beyond happy to hear the nurse say that he was allowed to go to sleep. It was almost too much effort to try to keep his eyes open, never mind trying to stay upright and awake. "C'mere, baby," he sighed out with effort, reaching for Alli so that the nurse could look over Cami uninterrupted. He winced when the little girl threw herself at him, wrapping her arms around his middle, but he pulled his daughter close and kissed the top of her head.
He was grateful when they were sent back with painkillers and minor injuries. Things could've been a hell of a lot worse.
"I'll put her down," he insisted to Cami when they returned to the room, scooping Alli up into his arms. She felt like she weighed twelve times her own weight and there was a nasty twinge in his side that came with the movement, but there was no way he was going to let Cami try. "Say g'night to Mommy," he added, looking down at his daughter.
