Hope actually had a good point that somewhere out in the universe there must be someone watching out for them.  His parents found him and then in turn he found Hope and they would both help each other in the long run and Alex knew that deep down.  He just needed Hope to get to feeling better.<br/><br/>When Hope complained about feeling tired Alex could not help but smile a little at him, “I promise it will get better once your anti-inflammatory meds start working and the antibiotics start working better.”  Alex could not help but nudge his arm a little, “Give yourself a break, you have been sick for who knows how long and you have drugs running through your system doing god knows what.”<br/><br/>Alex had watched Hope sleep for what seemed like hours.  He was thinking about everything that he said and he could not help but smile because if anyone deserved to have love it was Hope.  If you asked his parents they would say he deserved it too.  Maybe Hope could teach him how to love; he already knew how to accept love even if he didn’t think he deserved it.  “I hope one day I can love you back.”  Alex whispered as he crawled out of bed.<br/><br/>He had got a call from the office so he went into his home office and took the phone call.  Apparently there was a company in Seattle that was having problems and they wanted Alex’s company to help them repair things.  The only time Alex usually fixed other company was when he could take them over.  This meant that Alex would need to go to Seattle and he wondered if Hope was feeling better if he wanted to go.<br/><br/>Alex was in the kitchen when he heard the sound of someone throwing up and Alex took off towards the bathroom to make sure that Hope was ok.  He had just made it to the doorway as Hope was leaving.  When Hope apologized Alex just brushed it off because he understood all too well.  “Hay no worries, you were pretty sick.  The antibiotics are already working that’s why you are feeling better.”  Alex said with a smile, “We will just have to watch the throwing up, it might be a reaction to the meds, or just actually getting things in your stomach for a change.”<br/><br/>Alex moved out of the way so Hope could enter the bedroom, “So want to stay in bed today or do something?”  Alex asked, “The nurse will be here at 9 for your IV and it will run for two hours and then you are free.”
