Elastigirl sat beside Dash in a hospital bed. He had been badly injured in a recent battle and was bandaged up and taken to the hospital, as was she. What made it worse was the fact that he had been severely hit in the throat, precisely in the larynx. Elastigirl sat watching her son with a troubled face, when a doctor came in.

"Doctor, is my little boy going to be all right?" Elastigirl asked with deep concern.

"Oh, he'll be just fine, Elastigirl. However, his larynx took quite a serious blow. I'm afraid he won't be able to speak for a few days." the doctor answered, making Elastigirl's heart jolt. She couldn't believe her energetic young boy had been hurt that badly. Tears formed in the corners of her eyes.

"Well, how is he supposed to tell us something?!" she asked.

"I would suggest he use a board and pencil to speak with you, or use a whiteboard and chalk, since it's more easy to erase. He should take a week to recover his voice at minimum." the doctor said before he walked out. Elastigirl walked back over to Dash's bed and sat beside it as she noticed his eyes start to open a bit. She smiled as he looked at her.

"Hey, honey, how do you feel?" Elastigirl asked.

Dash tried to tell her he felt painful and tired, but to his alarm, nothing came out of his mouth and his throat hurt really badly.

Elastigirl looked sorrowful before she told him, "Honey, your throat got hurt really badly. You won't be able to talk for about a week."

Dash looked terrified before tears came out of his eyes. Elastigirl quickly handed him a notebook and pencil. Dash looked at them before he looked at her in confusion.

Elastigirl smiled before she explained, "If you have something you want to tell me, just write it down on that piece of paper."

Dash smiled widely before he wrote something down. When he turned it to her, it read, "It stinks that I lost my voice, because I had something I wanted to ask you after we beat the villain. I saw you beat him after I couldn't get up. You looked pretty angry that he hurt me this badly."

Elastigirl smirked, "Of course. What is it you wanted to ask me for beating the villain?" she asked.

Dash turned the notebook back and wrote something else. When Elastigirl looked at it again, she smiled widely at what it said.

"Can I have a hug?" the page said. Elastigirl looked at Dash, who had set it down and had his arms open.

"Oh, sweetie, you don't need your voice to ask for a hug from me." Elastigirl said before she gave him a hug. He hugged her back, both of them having wide smiles.

After she let Dash go, he wrote something else on his notebook. When Elastigirl looked at it, she cried tears of joy.

The page said, "I am so glad and lucky to have such an Incredible mom in my life."

Elastigirl looked at Dash before hugging him again and saying, "And I am so glad and lucky I have such an Incredible son in my life." before she kissed him on the forehead.
