Noah settled down on one side of Mommy, reaching to hold mommys hand and comfort her, knowing how he felt when he was sick and how much mommy made him feel better when she laid with him and held his hand and just laid there with him. For once, Hank laid quietly at the end of the bed with Kojak, though he kept his eyes on Steve, eventually letting them slip shut and Steve got settled once Sam and Noah did, glancing over at them.

Steve had noticed Sam getting better as the days went on, and by Friday had noticed the sickness almost completely gone, until he'd seen and heard her rush off to the bathroom a few times randomly, not really thinking anything of it, so busy with getting things ready for Noahs birthday. He was just finishing up playing a game of T-Ball with Noah in the back yard, leaving Noah outside with Kojak as he walks inside to get some water and he smiles at Sam, "Hey, wanna come sit outside with us?"
