While Ma fussed over Murphy, Pa pulled Connor to the side to talk to him.

"How are ye guys doing?" Pa asked.

"Besides Murphy's bad morning sickness, we are both good. Being up at three in the morning for several hours is rough," Connor said, watching Ma talk to Murphy.

"I remember that part of the whole thing well. It made us both take naps during the day," Pa said, smiling as Ma and Murphy laugh.

"I'm glad ye two were able to be here. He needs ye and Ma," Connor said.

"I want to apologize for the way I had acted. Ye two are my sons, and I should never have done that," Pa said, locking eyes with Connor.

"I accept yer apology, but I'm not the main one ye should be apologizing to. Ye scared Murphy really bad," Connor said.

"I never meant to, and I don't blame him if he doesn't forgive me," Pa said as they start walking over to Ma and Murphy.

"My two handsome sons," Ma said, pulling Connor to her by his hand and hugging them both closely.

"What were ye two laughing about, Ma?" Connor asked, brushing Murphy's bangs out of his face.

"I was telling him about how angry yer Pa got when I was pregnant with ye two and up at three in the morning," Ma said, kissing Pa's cheek after moving so Connor could sit next to Murphy.

"Murphy, I want to apologize for what I did. I never should have laid a hand on ye, never," Pa said, sitting by Murphy's legs. Murphy looked at Connor, who nodded, before looking back at Pa.

"Pa, I forgive ye, but I'll never forget what ye did. Ye not only were choking me, but ye hit Connor. Yer my Pa, and I love ye, buy ye hurt me," Murphy said, placing a hand on his stomach.

"I know I did, son, and I have regretted it every day since. I love both of ye so much. I never should have touched ye like that, and I swear O never will again," Pa said, tears filling his eyes and a few leaking out.

"Pa," Murphy said, holding his arms out towards Pa and started to cry. Pa pulled Murphy onto his lap and hugged him close as they both cried. Ma and Connor watched a few minutes before they joined them in a family hug.

"I love ye, Pa," Murphy cried.

"I love ye too, Murphy," Pa said, holding Murphy close. After a while of Pa holding Murphy while Ma rubbed Murphy's back and Connor rubbed murphy's legs, Murphy dozed off for his nap.

"Can ye both stay here while he sleeps?" Connor asked, leaning against Pa.

"Of course we can, but we better move so we are more comfortable," Pa said, nudging Ma, who had been dozing off. They all moved, careful not to wake Murphy, into comfier positions. They all eventually had taken a nap for a couple hours. Pa was woken by the sound of someone knocking on the door, so he quickly got up and answered the door before anyone else got woken up.

"Pardon me for waking you, sir, but Master Thomas wants me to inform you that lunch is almost ready," a servant said, bowing.

"Alright, thank ye. We'll all be down shortly," Pa said. The servant bowed again before walking away.

"Pa?" Murphy's voice asked suddenly from the bed.

"I didn't mean to wake ye, son," Pa said, walking over to Murphy and brushing his hair from his face.

"Who was at the door?" Murphy asked from where he laid between Ma and Connor.

"It was a servant letting us know lunch is almost done," Pa said, moving to wake Ma and Connor.

"Pa?" Murphy said before Pa could wake the other two.

"Yes, Murphy?" Pa asked, smiling down at Murphy.

"Can ye help me?" Murphy asked, blushing slightly.

"Help ye with what?" Pa asked as Connor started waking.

"He means, will ye help him to the restroom?" Connor said, slowly blinking open his eyes.

"Oh, of course, I will, Murphy," Pa said, carefully picking Murphy up.

"Con, will ye wake Ma, so we can head to lunch when I'm done?" Murphy asked while Pa headed to the bathroom with him.

"Of course, I will, Murphy. Let me know if ye need help," Connor said, sitting up. Connor woke Ma up while Pa helped Murphy. After they all used the restroom, they headed to the dining room, which had two extra chairs added to it. They all sat and ate lunch, which contained grilled chicken, salad, fresh fruit, and baked potatoes.

"I need to x-ray your ankle and get your full medical history," Thomas said after everyone was done eating.

"Alright," Murphy said. Connor pushed Murphy in the wheelchair behind Thomas and Jake with Ma and Pa on either side of him.

"Lay down on the table while I get everything ready," Thomas said.

"Can ye do an ultrasound, so Ma and Pa can see the baby?" Murphy asked as Connor laid him on the examination table.

"Of course we can. Jake can do it for you," Thomas said, smiling.

"Here's the baby," Jake said, showing the screen to Ma and Pa.

"I can tell already that yer going to give us a very beautiful grandchild," Ma said. Pa nodded and hugged Murphy.

"I'm going to need you guys to step out while I do the x-ray," Thomas said, walking over and setting everything up.

"How bad is it?" Pa asked after Thomas allowed everyone back in.

"I need to go ahead and do the surgery now," Thomas said.

"What?" Connor and Murphy said at the same time.

"I had hoped the brace would help by preventing a lot of movement, but it didn't work. The surgery is going to be tricky though," Thomas said.

"Why?" Pa asked.

"If I put him to sleep, we risk the baby and himself," Thomas said.

"What do ye mean by that?" Ma asked, grabbing Murphy's hand and squeezing it.

"There's a chance he could have a miscarriage from the medicine, which could kill him," Thomas said, frowning.

"Ye can't give him a lot of pain medicine either because it'll harm the baby," Pa said, placing a hand on Murphy's arm, who started crying.

"I can give him a little during the surgery, but he'll still be in pain and feel it," Thomas said.

"There's no other way?" Ma asked, crying.

"I wish there was another way. I'll need you all to help keep him called. If he gets too stressed, it'll harm the baby," Thomas said.

"When do we start?" Murphy asked.

"Let's get everything set up and get started," Thomas said. They all got cleaned and into sanitary gowns. Jake started the IV while Thomas got all the tools ready and laid out. Ma and Connor stood by Murphy's head while Pa stood by Murphy's good leg. Ma and Connor talked softly and comforting to Murphy during the whole surgery, trying to keep him calm and relaxed. The surgery went fast without complications.
