Hope felt like he was in a dream, that he had been sent up to heaven and blessed with a guardian angel. That angel being Alex, although he might not feel the same way he was almost sure of it. Hope felt the iv antibiotics pumping through his veins and he could tell his body was at work fighting off something. Hope closed his eyes with a smile as he saw another pleasant smile come across Alex's beautiful face. Hope secretly thought to himself that such beauty had to be chiseled by gods above. Hope knew that he was somewhat attractive but he was no where near Alex. "That sounds familiar to what my mother used to say. Why she named me Hope."<br/><br/>Hope smiled as thought back to asking his mother as a little boy why he had been given such a girly name that it was nothing like him. That he was a strong little boy not some girly girl. The guys at school had mentioned it to him and gave him crap for it, but it wasn't until then he started looking at his name in a different light. "Why sweetheart. You're my Hope. The light in my darkness. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be who I am today. You make me want to be a better person sweetie. Someone who you will be able to look up too. I know it seems hard to look at it that way now but one day I will have completed my dream. My goal in life, making you proud to be my son as I am ever so proud that I am your mother."<br/><br/>Hope had pleasantly fallen asleep and nuzzled Alex more and more he felt his fingers going through his hair. Hope looked so innocent, so carefree in his sleep. Painless. When Hope felt a little movement in the tiny bed he groaned cutely until he felt him curl back into him. The door quietly crept open and it was Dr. Grey once again. He blinked several times seeing the two of them in the bed together but didn't say anything about it. "Alex. Its time for his tests. While he is gone we need to talk about something I came across on his file." He said in an urgent tone yet soft to where he wouldn't wake Hope. "I will be back in roughly five to ten minutes to get him." Then he left the room like he had done before just leaving Alex and Hope alone.
