Writing on another peice of paper he wrote
There is nothing on Earth that would please me more, however my throat is incredibly sore.
He held the note up for Christina to read.

Christina read the note and nodded. She kissed his cheek gently and jumped off the bed. She winced as the stitches in her stomach stretched and decided she'd keep the strenuous work to a minimum. She walked around the room and closed all the doors.
She stood in the middle of the room in front of Drake, with a broad grin on her face. She took as deep a breath as her stitches would allow.
"Theres a time and place for everything, for everyone
We can push with all our might, but nothins gonna come
Oh no, nothins gonna change
And if I asked you not to try
Oh could you let it be
I wanna hold you and say
We cant throw this all away
Tell me you wont go, you wont go
Do you have to hear me say..."
Christina spun around, and shot Drake a semi-seductive look.
"I cant stop lovin you
And no matter what I say or do
You know my heart is true, oh
I cant stop loving you
You change your friends, your place in life
You can change your mind
We can change the things we say
And do anytime
Oh no, but I think youll find
That when you look inside your heart
Oh baby, Ill be there, yeah
Hold on
Im holding on
Baby, just come on, come on, cdome on
I just wanna hear you say
I cant stop lovin you
And no matter what you say or do
You know my heart is true, oh
I cant stop lovin you..."
Christina started playing air guitar at this point.
"Oh, Im so twisted and tied
And all I remember
Was how hard we tried
Only to surrender
And when its over
I know how its gonna be
And true love will never die
No, not fade away
And I cant stop lovin you
No matter what I say or do
You know my heart is true, oh
I cant stop lovin you
And I know what I got to do
Hey ray, what you said is true
I cant stop lovin you, oh
Oh, I cant stop lovin you..."
Christina bowed, a wide grin on her face. Hopefully it would at least make Drake laugh.

Drake smiled as she sang the songbut yet he made no noise. Scrawling on a peice of paper were written "That was great." He put his diabetes kit near all his stuff. He held hi arms out like a small child does when they want a hug.

Christina bounded over to Drake and jumped back on the bed. She was still upset he couldn't talk, but she figured he just needed time to adjust.
She pulled him into a tight hug and kissed him gently on the lips. She gazed at Drake, somewhat sadly. What had happened to the happy-go-lucky joker? He had gone on vacation, that's what happened. And she was determined to get him back.
Laura knocked on the door and came in.
"Don't quit your day job, darling," she said to Christina with a grin. "Drake, I'm sorry. If we had known, and I'm sure Christina would agree, we would never have let you go through with it."
She swept over and kissed Drake's forehead.
"But you're still staying with us over Christimas!" she said, before she left the room.
"You can't argue with that, love," Christina said, running her hand through Drake's dreads. "And like the song says, I can't stop loving you. So if you're thinking of leaving me, you can't. I'm forbidding it. You'll always be my weak little Santa. This will just be another story to tell our grandchildren..."

Drake wanted to give a note to Laura but she had left the room. He shifted onto his side and a cord came out its back. It stayed low to the ground, It found Laura and tapped her on the shoulder. attached to the cord was written Follow Me.

Laura raised her eyebrows and followed the cord back into Drake's room.
"What is it dear?"

Would you have? Your daughter was dying. I wasn't, and I still am not. This diabetes will make me live life to the fullest, and you know it.
I also would like to thank you for inviting me over for Christmas, It was very generous.

Laura shook her head sadly.
"There would have been others in stock," she said. "A lot of people die you know. Christina would have been kept alive here until she got one."
Laura squeezed Drake's shoulder gently.
"I spoke to Roger on the phone briefly and we have agreed that we will pay for your medication. It's the least we can do."
She smiled.
"Oh, and Drake dear, please remember that you are always welcome in our house. We would have offered to adopt you, but we get the feeling you would object for the sake of you and Christina's relationship..."

Thank you. For everything. Are you sure you can pay for the medication? Its alot of money. The professor can Pay for it, He is like a billionaire or something. Drake was getting a faster writer now.

"We will definately pay for the medication," Laura said.
Christina was silent, deep in thought. At the mention of the Professor her heart rate quickened. As soon as she was out of hospital, she would seek a meeting with him. She couldn't bear to see Drake like this.
She would go on a mission to find Horace, who hadn't been seen since the Twilight incident. She would try and persuade him to help her.

Christina burst out laughing.
"For you, my little Santa, anything," she said.
At that moment, the Doctor came in.
"You both are healing well," he said. "We are going to keep you in a little longer for observation, but both of you should be discharged by tomorrow evening. Three weeks of rest should be long enough for the sutures to be absorbed. I'll give you both a prescription of anti-biotics before you leave."
The doctor walked out, and shut the door behind him.
Christina and Laura shared a wide grin. They looked almost identical.
"We can go home soon, Drake!" Christina said happily.
"It's settled. You are going to spend those three weeks with the family," Laura said. "Oh, that is, unless you want to stay at the manor."

Nah, there would be too much pressure on me if I return at the moment. Plus, If it's not too much trouble, Can I get my three months worth of insulin in advance? Oh and No cake please, at all. It could be Dangerous for me. Thank you

Laura nodded.
"I'll leave you to it then," she said. "Oh, and if there's anything you want from the manor, write me a list and I'll get it tomorrow."
She left the room, presumably to return to watching the gameshow.
"No cake?" Christina said sadly. "That really sucks!"
That's it! I'm going to find Horace, and then when Drake's better I'll force-feed him a chocolate mud cake!
She hugged him tightly, knowing he needed as much support as she could give him.
"It's kind of ironic, isn't it?" she said softly.

What is? Drake asked. I am sorry for this, you can have a cake if you want one, however, I am unable to have some.
