"I I'll be fine," Arlen said. "She asked for more juice and something to eat though. What can she eat without help?"

"She's going to need a little help with just about anything... but a sandwich would probably be easiest. Do you want me to make it?"

"Could you?" Arlen asked. "She said she wasn't that hungry and I don't know any light sadwiches."

"Yeah. Coming right up. You get the juice, alright?" Cerri gently pulled back, her eye meeting his. "And it'll be okay." she added firmly before walking to the kitchen. Quickly, she made up a small sandwich with lettuce and a single slice of ham, putting a few baby carrots on the plate as well. "Here... this should do." she murmured.

Arlen nodded and grabbed a glass and filled it with juice. "Thanks, Mom," he said, giving Cerri a hug before taking the plate.

"You're welcome. I wish I could help more." Cerri murmured, kissing his cheek. "Go on. And hey... I love you." she added in a motherly fashion. "Tell Lily the same." she added before walking back to her seat to take up her vigil once more, heart and mind heavy.

"I love you too," Arlen said, carrying the plate and glass upstairs to Lily. "I'm back," he said while stepping inside the room.

"Hey." Lily greeted, still in the bed, now under the covers, clutching them tightly. "What did you bring me?"

"Juice and a sandwich that Cerri made. She wants me to tell you that she loves you," he said, walking over to the bed. "Which would you like first?"

Lily went pink with pleasure, ears twitching, then bit her lower lip. "Juice please. My mouth is too dry to eat." she explained, reaching out, hand shaking just a little.

"Okay," Arlen said, setting the plate down on the nightstand and handing the glass to Lily.

Lily took it with a grateful smile, then carefully, slowly, brought the glass to her mouth. She took a sip, then patted the space beside her with her free hand. "Sit with me?"

"Of course," Arlen said, climbing into the bed carefully so he wouldn't cause her to spill.

Lily felt her way over to him, leaning her head on his shoulder as she drank. When the juice was half gone, she held out the glass for him to take. "I'm ready for my sandwich." she murmured.

"Alright," Arlen said, taking the glass from her and handing her the plate.
