The next day I was feeling much better. It felt like an invisible bond had formed between Daimen and I. We were much closer than before.

"Morning Rainbow," Jax yawned and sat opposite me on the dining table, "what are you drinking?"

"Coffee," I replied, taking a sip of the concoction.

"Is it good?"

I shook my head, "tastes disgusting, but good at waking me up."

"Gimme," Jax sighed and rubbed his eyes. I passed him the cup and he drank a bit and made a face, "you're right, it's disgusting, but good for waking me up."

"Told you," I leaned back in the chair, "let's go to the hospital."

"M'kay," Jax said, "get changed and we'll leave in ten."

Ten minutes later, I met Jax by the door- feeling a lot more refreshed and awake.

"Guys I'm going to the hospital! Be back in a bit!" I shouted and I got a chorus of 'okay!' And 'be safe!' Back.

Jax and I drove there, singing along to the radio. Laughing hysterically, we went to the hospital. We entered and the doctors and nurses all greeted us.

"JAXTON COLLINS!" A powerful voice boomed behind and Jax paled.

"Help me," Jax whimpered.

"Sorry buddy," I shrugged my helplessness, "you're on your own."

Martha strode up to us. She winked at me and glared at Jax.

"Hi Martha," Jax squeaked, hiding behind me.

"Hello Jaxton," Martha smiled with fake sweetly, "I think you owe me an arm wrestle and a new pair of shoes... you know, my favourite ones which you threw up on?"

Jax winced, "I was drunk on eggnog! And that was years ago!"

"I told him not to drink it," I butted in, "but he didn't listen."

"Not helping," Jax glared.

"Come on," Martha grabbed Jax's ear and pulled him away, "let's talk."

I laughed and waved at Jax, who was stumbling in pain.

I walked to the children's ward. Doctors and nurses greeted me on the way.

"Hi Iris! How are you?" Dr. Green smiled.

"Hi Tina! I'm good. How are the kids?" I asked.

"They're good," Tina grinned, "Finn's started school!"

"Aw! I hope he's enjoying it!"

"He is," Tina beamed and she bid me goodbye and left.

I walked away with a smile on my face. Soon, I reached the children's playroom.

"Hi guys," I went in and smiled.

"Iriiissss!" They all squealed and engulfed me in a hug. Laughing, I bent down and embraced them all. They fired away questions at me, and I answered them as best as I could. There were about 10 kids there.

"Iris, can you sing us a song, please?" Daniel asked shyly.

"Of course!" I responded immediately, "which one?"

"'Tale as old as time' from 'Beauty and the Beast'!"Dina answered.

I began singing and, soon, the children joined in. They're so young, I thought sadly, looking down at their little faces shining with joy. The oldest was twelve and it reminded me how cruel fate could be.

After we finished singing, they chattered about their day and asked me about mine. Then, we watched a movie and it was time for me to go. They were reluctant to let me go, at first, but I promised to visit soon.

I decided to try and find Jax. As I was walking, a hand clamped over my mouth and I was dragged into a storeroom.

Not again...

Currently, Martha, me and some other doctors and nurses were chatting in the cafeteria. Just a few minutes ago, I lost in an arm wrestling competition to Martha. For the third time.

"I'm never drinking eggnog again," I groaned. My arm was aching like mad, "I make stupid decisions under its influence."

"You owe me a new pair of shoes," Martha pointed her finger at me, "I expect them next time you visit. They must be good otherwise I'll drop kick you to the other end of the world."

"You're kidding... I hope."

Martha just smiled.

We made small talk and some medical staff asked me about how my life was going. It'd been a while since I last visited. My heart was thudding painfully as I thought about four years ago.

Suddenly, the door burst open and Iris stumbled in. Her eyes were frantic and she was panting heavily.

"Rainbow, is everything okay?" I asked, walking over to her. She gripped my arms tightly and took a few deep breaths to compose herself.

"Jax," she sobbed, "there's-"
