 Loving Affair Part 12 ( F/m, MF/m, m/M, m/f, Ffm, MFfm, Ff inc, oral, mas,

 As the school year went on, Paul wondered how soon he would find out about
his surgery. He wondered if he would miss any school time. Paul also
wondered how Dawn would react on the day he went in for surgery. He knew
she would keep her promise however, and be beside him. Paul was thinking of
how he would react to the recovery. Despite all this on his mind, Paul
remained focused on his school work.

 One day in November, Joe Liz and Paul went to the doctor to find out about
his surgery. Paul was worried when the doctor would tell him he was being
operated on. As they waited for the doctor, Paul begged Joe and Liz not to
let the surgery stop him from being home for Christmas. Joe and Liz
promised Paul he would not spend Christmas in the hospital. Paul smiled,
and hugged them both. Liz told him they would see when the doctor would
suggest having it done.

 When the doctor entered he looked at Paul and told him he wanted to talk
to all about the surgery. The first thing Paul told the doctor was he
wanted to be home for Christmas. The doctor assured Paul he would not be in
hospital for Christmas. Joe looked at the doctor and asked when the
surgery.would be. The doctor told Joe he planned on bring Paul in on
January 7th and do all his presurgical testing. Paul asked when the surgery
would be. The doctor looked at Paul and told him the surgery would be on
January 14th. Paul looked at Joe and Liz, and asked if they could still
make sure it would happen. Joe looked at Paul and reassured him he would
make sure it happened. The doctor then went into detail on how the surgery
would be performed. As he told them about the surgery, Paul's mind drifted
on to Dawn and being in her arms. When the doctor was done, he asked if
anyone had any questions. Paul asked the doctor how long he thought the
recovery would take. The doctor told Paul it would take a while but he
couldn't tell him just how long. Paul looked at Joe and Liz, and almost
cried. Liz hugged him, and whispered in his ear to remember Dawn would be
beside him.  Paul whispered back he was trying.  The doctor told them he
would be in touch before the surgery to see how things were going.  Joe Liz
and Paul then left the hospital and headed home.

On the way home, Paul sat between Joe and Liz.  They talked about their
plans Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Joe suggested having a small
Thanksgiving dinner, but then having the entire family over for Christmas
dinner.  Paul knew in his heart that Joe was trying to keep his mind off
the surgery.  Unfortunately it didn't work.  Paul turned to Liz, and began
crying as he laid his head on her chest.  Liz stroked his hair and told him
he would be ok and that they loved him.  Liz looked up at Joe and gave him
that knowing look.  Joe looked back at Liz and nodded his head.  Without a
word, Joe headed over to Charles' house so Paul could see Dawn.

When they pulled in the driveway at Charles' house, Dawn came running out.
She jumped in the car next to Paul and hugged him.  Liz asked Dawn where
Charles was.  She told Liz he was in the back yard.  Joe and Liz went to
the back yard and talked to Charles, while Dawn sat in the car with Paul.
Dawn held Paul in her arms, and asked how she could help cheer him up.  He
smiled and told her being in her arms cheered him up.  Dawn held him close,
and told him she would be right beside him through it all.  Paul looked
around.  When he noticed Charles wasn't around, Paul leaned in and kissed
Dawn slowly.  Dawn kissed him and whispered how she wished it was the
weekend so she could be beside him.  Paul whispered back he was wishing the
same thing.  Dawn ran her hands down Paul's back, and whispered she would
have a surprise for him this upcoming weekend.  Paul smiled and told her he
loved he so very much.  Before they could begin anything, Joe and Liz came
back to the car.  Paul gave Dawn one more kiss goodbye before she left the
car.

The next day when Paul returned to school, everyone asked Paul what the
doctors had said.  Paul took the teacher aside, and told her he was going
into the hospital in January.  He told her the doctor couldn't tell him how
long his recovery would be.  She told him she would let the class know so
he wouldn't have to explain it over and over again.  Paul thanked his
teacher, and waited out in the hallway while the teacher went in and told
the class what was going on.  When she was done explaining things to the
class she came out and brought Paul back into the room.

During their lunch time, the girl who had tried coming on to Paul sat
beside him, and asked if he was ok.  Paul told her he would be fine.  She
smiled, and asked him if he had began thinking of what he wanted for
Christmas.  Paul told her all he wanted for Christmas was to get through
this surgery.  His friend just smiled, and told him she understood.  She
then went back to eating.  Paul in the back of his mind knew she was
thinking she may have a chance again.  He finished his lunch, and just sat
quietly until lunch was over.

For the rest of the day, Paul's friend kept trying to get close to him.
She kept trying to see if she could make him change his mind before he went
in for surgery.  Paul knew what was going on and he just looked past it.
He concentrated on his school work, and getting through the day.  Paul
couldn't wait to get home that day.  He wanted to get home to get away from
the friend who was trying to hit on him.

When he arrived home, Liz walked out to get him off the bus.  She smiled at
him, and told him she had some wonderful news for him.  Paul asked Liz what
was going on.  She told him Charles called and told her Dawn was going to
spend the night before he went in, and he would bring her over to come down
the day of his surgery.  Paul smiled, and told her she made his day.  Liz
hugged him before wheeling him up the ramp.

As the weeks passed by, Paul concentrated on his school work and his
surgery.  He thought of how he would feel before during and after the
surgery.  Paul could feel his anxiety over the surgery welling up inside
him.  He didn't know where to turn to let out his feelings.  Paul finally
asked Liz if he could go see Dawn.  She told him she would take him to see
her.  Paul hugged Liz and told her he loved her.  Liz kissed him softly and
told him she loved him too.  Liz then told him she would call Charles and
asked if they could come visit.  Charles laughed and told her that him and
Dawn were on their way to come see them.  Liz told them ok they would see
them soon.  She then told Paul that Dawn was on her way to see him.  Paul
smiled and thanked her for the good news.

When Charles and Dawn arrived, Dawn walked in and hugged Paul.  She
whispered how much she loved him and had missed him.  Paul whispered he
loved her, and had missed her too.  Dawn wheeled Paul into his room, and
closed the door behind them.  She sat in his lap, and held him tight.  Dawn
kissed him slowly and gently.  She told Paul how wonderful it was to be
back in his arms where she belonged.  Paul rubbed her back and kissed her
softly.  He whispered it felt wonderful being back in her arms where he
belong.  Paul told her he was getting more and more nervous as the date of
his surgery approached.  Dawn whispered she understood, but that she would
be beside him every step of the way.  She then reminded Paul she would be
spending the night before he went into the hospital.  Dawn also reminded
him she would be at the hospital the day of the surgery.  Paul hugged her
close, and whispered in her ear that he felt so blessed having her in his
life.  Dawn kissed him again, and whispered she would be right beside him
for the rest of his life.  Hearing this made Paul smile, and he felt all
his fear disappear.  He knew now he would make it through this surgery with
the love of Joe Liz and his family, especially Dawn.

As Christmas time arrived, Paul loved spending time around his family.  He
knew being with them was the best present he could ever ask for.  During
his visit with Charles and Dawn, Paul stayed right beside Dawn's side.
Dawn and Paul kept talking about what they had gotten for Christmas, along
with what they had hoped to do for summer.  The lovers kept hugging when
they could, and kissing when Charles was around.  Neither one of them gave
any thought to the surgery, or what would happen if Kathleen and Chris
showed up.  Thankfully this did not happen as Dawn wanted Paul to remain
calm and happy.  Paul smiled and laughed the entire time Dawn was with him.

On New Years Eve, Charles and Dawn came over to spend even more time with
Joe Liz and Paul.  Dawn and Paul curled up innocently on the floor watching
television, as Charles Joe and Liz played games in the kitchen.  They all
wanted to keep things as normal and calm as they could for Paul's sake.
None of them would let anything upset Paul at this point.  Dawn hugged Paul
close stroked his hair, and whispered she loved him.  Paul looked in her
eyes and whispered he loved her too.  Paul smiled slightly as he looked
into Dawn's eyes again.  When she noticed his smile, Dawn asked what he was
thinking.  Paul whispered how it would be wonderful having Dawn there the
night before he went into the hospital.  She smiled and told him she was
reading his mind, and she went on to tell him she loved how he thought.
Dawn then rolled over and held Paul close to her.  Paul asked Dawn if she
would grab the blanket from the couch so they could cuddle and keep warm.
Dawn grabbed the blanket and covered them up.  When it was ten minutes
before midnight Charles Joe and Liz joined Dawn and Paul in the living room
to watch the ball drop.  Right as the ball dropped, Dawn rolled over and
hugged Paul.  She whispered in his ear she would have kissed him but
Charles was in the room so she couldn't.  Paul whispered back he
understood.  He then whispered he loved her.  Dawn hugged him tighter, and
rubbed his back lovingly.  Charles Joe and Liz then went back into the
kitchen for one last game.  When Dawn knew they were alone she leaned in
and kissed him gently and lovingly.  Dawn and Paul wound up falling asleep
on the floor while Charles Joe and Liz finished their game.  When he was
ready to go home, Charles picked Dawn up in his arms, and Joe went out to
open the truck door for him.  After Charles left, Joe came back in the
house to find Liz cuddled up to Paul on the floor.  So Joe laid down beside
Liz and cuddled up to her before drifting off to sleep.

During the week before Paul went in for his surgery, Joe and Liz took and
did all they could find to do with Paul, to keep his mind off his surgery.
They took him shopping, sledding, they built a snow man in the front yard
with him, and sat down by the fire place with him.  Paul loved spending all
this time with Joe and Liz.  All this attention made Paul forget his
upcoming surgery.  Joe and Liz even used the time to help them forget how
nervous the surgery made them also.  Despite knowing the surgery would help
Paul, they were nervous because they knew all the complications that could
happen.  No one wanted to discuss their fears, they wanted to remain
positive.

The day before Paul went into the hospital, Charles brought Dawn over to
the house so she could be with Paul.  As Dawn got out of the truck, she ran
up to the door, and walked in to hug Paul.  Charles brought Dawn's bags in,
and sat them on the floor.  Joe thanked him for bringing Dawn over so she
could be there to help Paul keep calm.  Charles asked Joe to drop Dawn off
on their way home from the hospital.  Joe told him he would have Dawn home
around 9:30 that night.  Charles told him this would be fine.  He then
turned to Paul and told him he would be praying for him.  Paul hugged
Charles and thanked him.  Charles gave Dawn one more hug, and then left.

Dawn and Paul then made their way to Paul's room.  Dawn then helped Paul
sit down on the floor beside her so she could do her homework.  When she
was finished, Dawn wrapped her arms around Paul and kissed him softly.  She
then laid him down slowly on the floor.  Paul looked deep in Dawn's eyes,
and held her close to him.  Paul told Dawn he was scared.  Dawn told him he
would be ok.  Paul asked her to hold him and not let him go.  Dawn pulled
him close, and whispered she would hold him all night no matter what.  When
she said this, Dawn could feel Paul's body relax.  Paul held her in his
arms, and whispered knowing she would be there beside him all the way
brought him a great sense of peace.  Dawn stroked Paul's hair and kissed
him slowly.  She told him no matter what happened, she would remain beside
him forever.  Paul laid his head on Dawn's chest and let some tears out.
Dawn wiped his tears away, and told him she was there for him.

A little while later, Liz knocked on the door and told Dawn and Paul dinner
was ready.  Liz lifted Paul into his chair, and Dawn wheeled him out to the
kitchen.  As they sat down, Joe told Paul he had a treat for him.  Joe
brought over boxes from the seafood restaurant close by.  He opened one
box, and put Paul's favorite clams casino on his plate.  Joe then opened
the rest of the boxes and divided the food up between all of them.  As they
sat and ate, Dawn made Paul smile when she told Joe and Liz she would like
to go on vacation with them again this upcoming summer.  Joe told her he
thought this would be a wonderful idea.  Paul smiled, and told Dawn he
would love having her go on vacation with them.

Then after dinner, Dawn and Paul cuddled on the floor while Joe and Liz
cuddled on the couch.  They watched television and just spent time
together.  Dawn held Paul close and kissed him softly.  She told him how
much she loved him and how she was so happy she could spend the night with
him before his surgery.  Paul laid his head on her chest and smiled as he
looked up into her eyes.  Dawn stroked Paul's hair and told him she loved
seeing him smile.  Meanwhile Joe and Liz discussed having Liz spend the
night before Paul's surgery at the hospital with Paul.  Liz agreed, and
hugged Joe.  She told him he was wonderful to her.  Joe kissed her gently,
and whispered he loved seeing how close they all were.  Liz whispered she
would be so happy when Paul's surgery was over.  Joe looked in her eyes and
asked if she was ok.  Liz told him she was nervous and worried about what
could happen.  Joe reassured Liz everything would be ok.  Then around nine
o'clock Dawn and Paul headed to Paul's room for bed, while Joe and Liz
headed to their room for bed.

In the morning, Dawn woke up and helped Paul get ready to go to the
hospital.  She helped Paul dress, then dressed herself.  Paul looked in
Dawn's eyes and asked her if she would give him a hug.  Dawn hugged him,
and asked him what he was thinking.  Paul looked in her eyes and confessed
he was scared.  He told her he was afraid of having the surgery and he
didn't want to lose her.  Dawn hugged him, and whispered he would be ok.
He kissed her softly and held her gently.  Liz then called into them and
told them to get ready to go.  Dawn wheeled Paul out and helped him put his
coat on.  Liz watched how loving Dawn was with Paul and smiled.  Joe
carried Paul's bags out, and then came back to put Paul in the car.

On the way down to the hospital, Dawn and Liz sat in the back of the wagon
with Paul.  They cuddled him close, and reassured him he would be ok.  Paul
laid his head in Dawn's lap while Liz slowly stroked his back.  Paul smiled
up at Dawn and Liz, and calmed down knowing they were all beside him.  He
even knew that Joe would be right beside him also.  By the time they
reached the hospital, Paul was completely calm.

While Paul was being registered in the inpatient department, him and Dawn
sat outside in the hospital lobby.  Paul held Dawn's hand and asked her
what was on her mind.  She smiled and told him she was thinking of how
wonderful it would feel when she was able to hold him again.  Paul smiled
and told her as soon as he came home he would make arrangements to be in
her arms.  Dawn hugged him and told him she needed to hear that.  Paul
looked around, and when no one was looking he kissed Dawn softly.  Dawn
kissed him back.  She then whispered she loved him.

About twenty minutes later, Joe and Liz came out followed by a nurse.  She
placed Paul's wrist band on him, and wheeled him up to his room.  When they
reached his room, another nurse came in to do Paul's vital signs.  After
the nurse left, Dawn hugged Paul and kissed him softly.  Paul kissed her
back, he then hugged and kissed Joe and Liz.  Joe then picked Paul up, and
placed him in the bed.  Paul then had Dawn lay beside him in bed.  She held
Paul close, and whispered in his ear how she loved him, and how proud she
was of him.  Paul kissed her softly, and whispered back he would make it
because he knew she was right beside him.  Dawn stayed in bed next to Paul,
until it was time for his lunch.

During lunch, Dawn Joe and Liz went to the cafeteria while Paul ate lunch
in his room.  While in the cafeteria Dawn hugged Liz and told her she was
scared for Paul.  Liz looked in her eyes, and whispered it was ok.  Dawn
calmed down, and continued eating her lunch.  She then asked Liz if they
knew what time Paul would be having his surgery.  Liz told her they hadn't
found out yet, but that she would let her and Charles know as soon as they
knew.  Dawn thanked her, and finished her lunch.

The rest of the day Dawn and Paul cuddled in Paul's bed watching television
with Joe and Liz.  When it was dinnertime, Dawn Joe Liz and Paul went to
the cafeteria, As they sat and ate, Dawn kept looking in Paul's eyes so he
knew she would be there for him.  Dawn would reach down also, and hold
Paul's hand in hers.  Paul would smile at Dawn's touch.  At one point, Dawn
leaned over, and whispered in Paul's ear that she loved him, and would help
him recover.  Paul smiled, and whispered how having her beside him would
help him recover even quicker.  Dawn whispered she would do all she could
to help him recover as quickly as she could.  Paul rubbed her hand, and
held it gently.  He then looked into her eyes, and kissed her on the cheek.
When they were finished eating, Dawn Joe Liz and Paul returned back to
Paul's room.

As they entered the room, Paul's nurse walked in and took Paul's vital
signs.  She then ask Joe and Liz if there was anything they needed.  Joe
asked the nurse if Paul needed to be in bed before they left for the night,
or could he be in his chair.  The nurse told Joe that Paul needed to be in
bed before they left for the night.  Joe assured the nurse Paul would be in
bed before they left that night.  When the nurse left the room, Dawn curled
up in bed beside Paul and held him close to her.  She stroked his hair, and
whispered in his ear just how much she loved him, and how she knew he would
make it through the surgery no problem.  Paul held her close, and whispered
in her ear that when he was home, and back up on his feet, he would make
love to her over and over to make up for their time apart.  Dawn kissed him
softly, and whispered she couldn't wait.  Paul then hugged Joe and Liz and
made them the same promise he made Dawn.  They hugged him, and kissed them
too.  The rest of the night, Dawn held Paul close and kept rubbing his
back.  When it was time for them to go, Dawn hugged Paul closely, kissed
him slowly, and whispered in his ear she would be back for him the day of
his surgery.  Paul hugged her kissed her, and whispered he loved her and
would be waiting to see her when she got there.  They broke their embrace,
and Dawn Joe and Liz left for the night.

During the next week, Paul underwent all his pre-surgical testing.  Every
day when Joe would come home from work, he would pick Liz up, and go right
down to the hospital.  Joe and Liz would support Paul through every test he
underwent.  They helped Paul by talking to him, and helping reassure him he
would be fine during the surgery.  Paul would open up, and confess how
scared he was.  And when Paul would get too upset, Liz would let him know
how she had kept Dawn up to date on how he was.  This seemed to always calm
Paul down.

The day before Paul's surgery when Joe and Liz showed up, Paul met them in
the hallway in his chair.  He hugged them, and told them he missed them.
Liz hugged him, and told him they missed him too.  Joe asked Paul if the
doctor had been in to talk to him about the surgery.  Paul told him no he
hadn't heard anything from the doctor about the surgery.  Joe hugged him,
and wheeled him back to his room.

As they sat talking about how they planned to spend the summer, a knock
came to Paul's room door.  They all looked up to see the doctor standing
there.  He came in, and told Joe Liz and Paul he was there to discuss the
surgery.  Paul asked the doctor if something was wrong.  The doctor told
him nothing was wrong, he just wanted to let him know what time the surgery
would be, and how long the surgery would be.  He told Paul he was also
going to explain what would be done during the surgery.  Joe squeezed
Paul's hand, and told him relax.  He then told Paul everything would be ok.
The doctor looked at Paul and told him he would be taken to pre-op at 8:30
a.m. to get his I.V. started.  They would then began administering the
I.V. sleeping medications at 8:55 a.m.  This would allow Paul to begin
falling asleep before he entered the operating room.  The doctor told them
the surgery would last three hours.  He told them that during those three
hours, he would place a steel rod on each side of Paul's spine.  He would
then anchor the rods with screws at the top of Paul's spine, as well as the
base of Paul's spine.  The doctor told them he would then place a wire clip
at each vertebrate on the spine.  He would then cover the rods, and clips
with ground up seeded bone crystal.  Liz looked at Joe and hugged him
tightly.  The doctor told them, Paul's recovery would take a while.  Paul
asked the doctor if he would be ok to go away on a summer vacation at all.
The doctor told him he would be fine to go as long as he didn't get bumped
around too much.  Paul smiled, and hugged Joe and Liz.  Joe asked the
doctor if him and Liz could walk down to pre-op with Paul.  The doctor told
him he would encourage it.  Joe smiled and hugged Paul.  Liz then turned
around and hugged Paul.  When the doctor was finished, he asked if anyone
else had any questions.  Paul then asked how long he would be in the
hospital for recovery.  The doctor told him, it would depend on how long
his recovery took.  Paul smiled and thanked the doctor.  With everything
said, the doctor shook everyone's hand and told them he would see them
tomorrow morning before walking out.

Joe and Liz surprised Paul by telling him, they had began making plans to
rent the summer house.  Paul smiled and asked if Dawn would be coming with
them.  Joe laughed and told him of course she would be.  Paul smiled and
hugged them both.  He told them that would make him so happy.  Joe and Liz
hugged him and assured him he would truly enjoy vacation this summer.  Paul
smiled and told Joe and Liz he was counting the days until they were on the
beach.  Liz smiled and hugged Paul.

They then discussed the possibilities of getting a van to make it easier
for them to get around.  Paul's first question was, would he be able to
still cuddle with Dawn on their rides down to the summer house.  Joe
smiled, and told him yes.  He told Paul as long as he could lift him, he
would be able to cuddle on the back seat with Dawn.  Paul smiled and hugged
Joe softly.  Joe told Paul they would also be able to take more trips.
Paul hugged him, and told him he love loved him and Liz.  Joe smiled, and
told him they loved him too.

When lunchtime arrived, Joe Liz and Paul went to the cafeteria to eat.  As
they sat down to eat, Paul's nurse walked up.  She asked Liz if she was
going to spend the night before Paul's surgery.  Liz told her she would let
her know when then got back from lunch.  The nurse told her if she did
spend the night, they would put a bed up in Paul's room for her.  Liz
thanked her again and her she would let her know.  When the nurse walked
away, Liz look at Paul and saw he wanted her there that night.  Paul asked
her if she would mind.  Liz told him she wouldn't mind at all.  Joe told
them he would still be at the hospital with Dawn before Paul went down to
pre-op.

As they finished lunch, Joe Liz and Paul returned to Paul's room.  Liz
helped get Paul back in his bed, and then went to tell the nurse she would
be spending the night.  When Liz returned she told Paul everything was set.
Joe asked how early Paul wanted Dawn and him there in the morning.  Paul
asked what time he thought they could be there in the morning.  Joe picked
up the phone in Paul's room, and called Charles.  Charles answered the
phone, and asked Joe if everything was ok.  Joe assured him everything was.
He then asked Charles how early he could come pick Dawn up in the morning.
Charles told him he could have her up and ready any time.  Joe told him he
would be there at 7:30 a.m.  Joe hung up the phone, and told Paul they
would be there by 8:00 a.m.  Paul smiled, and hugged Joe and Liz.

The rest of the day, Joe Liz and Paul played games and watched television.
Joe told Paul he would have him a place in the living room to rest once he
got home.  He also told him he would have the video game system set up so
he could rest and play games.  Paul smiled, and told Joe the only thing
that was missing would be having Dawn beside him.  Joe told Paul that Dawn
would still be coming over on the weekends.  Paul smiled and thanked them.
After eating dinner, Joe decided he would go home, and get some rest since
the next day was going to be a long one.

Around 8:00 p.m. that night, the nurse came in and helped Liz give Paul a
bath.  After he got out of the water, the nurse turned on the heating lamp
in the bathroom.  When Paul was completely warm and dry, the nurse brought
in a clean hospital gown.  She helped Paul into his gown, and asked him if
he wanted to have a snack.  Paul passed up on the snack and curled up in
his bed.  Just as the nurse was getting ready to leave the room, the fire
alarm went off.  The nurse closed the door, and stayed in the room with Liz
and Paul.  Paul began to panic.  He kept begging Liz not to leave his side.
Liz kept promising him he would never ever leave his side.  When the alarm
was cleared, the nurse reopened Paul's door, and left.  Paul and Liz then
curled up in their beds, and went to sleep.

The next morning as Paul was sleeping, Dawn and Joe walked in.  They said
hello to Liz.  As Joe was talking to Liz, Dawn walked up and kissed Paul
softly.  Paul opened his eyes, and smiled when he saw Dawn standing there
beside him.  He hugged her to him, and whispered I love you so much.  Dawn
laid beside him, and held him closely.  She whispered in his ear how she
had been thinking of him all night.  Paul smiled and held Dawn softly.  He
whispered he loved her and had been thinking of her all night also.  They
cuddled close and looked into each others eyes.  Dawn stood up just in time
for transport to come wheel Paul down to pre - op.

As they wheeled him down to pre - op, Paul held Dawn's hand in his.  They
kept looking into each others' eyes and telling each other they loved each
other without words.  When they reached the doors to pre-op, Dawn then Joe
then Liz hugged Paul and told him they would all be waiting for him when he
came out of surgery.  The next thing they knew, the pre - op nurse came
out, introduced herself, and then wheeled Paul back into the pre-op area.
As the doors closed Dawn Joe and Liz were escorted to the waiting room.

During the surgery, Dawn Joe and Liz sat in silence.  Each of them were
wondering what was going on with the surgery.  They were worried how Paul
was holding up.  All of them knew they had fears of things that could go
wrong.  As time passed, Joe kept getting up to get coffee for himself and
Liz, and getting hot tea for Dawn.  Liz would drink her coffee then pace up
and down the floor.  Dawn would then join her in her pacing.  Both Dawn and
Liz kept staring up at the clock.  Dawn asked Liz if she thought everything
was going ok.  Liz hugged her and told her she felt in her heart everything
would be just fine.  As the clock hit noon time, Paul's doctor walked in
the waiting room.  Liz ran up to him, and asked how Paul was.  The doctor
told Dawn Joe and Liz that the surgery was successful and Paul pulled
through like they felt he would.  Dawn and Liz hugged Joe, and thanked his
doctor.  The doctor told them they would be able to see him soon.

The nurse in recovery helped the nurse from I.C.U. wheel Paul up to his
room.  When Paul was settled in his room, the first thing he did was ask
for Dawn Joe and Liz.  The I.C.U. nurse called down to the waiting area,
and asked them to send Paul's family up.  Within no time at all Dawn Joe
and Liz were standing by Paul's side. As he turned his head, Paul looked
directly into Liz's eyes.  Liz walked over and hugged him softly.  Paul
then looked in Dawn's eyes, and motioned for her to come over to him.  She
walks over, kisses him on his cheek, and whispers how she loves him.  He
whispers back how he loves her too.  Paul then whispers he promised her he
would make it.  Dawn hugged him again, and sat beside him.  Joe walked
over, and hugged Paul.  He told him how proud he was of him.  Paul hugged
him, and whispered he loved him.  Joe then told him they were going to go
get lunch and that they would be back soon.

While they were at lunch, Paul decided he would close his eyes and take a
nap.  As he slept Paul found himself having very vivid realistic dreams.
One of the dreams Paul kept having was one of him and Dawn spending their
prom night as a couple.  Paul kept dreaming how beautiful Dawn would look
in her prom gown.  He kept thinking how wonderful the night would be, and
how Joe and Liz would help him by taking him and Dawn to the prom.  Paul
also dreamed of how wonderful it would feel the next morning waking up in
her arms.  Just as Paul was about to go into another dream, Dawn Joe and
Liz walked back in the room.

As Paul opened his eyes, he heard Dawn and Liz both tell Joe they were
going out.  Joe turned to them and told them he would see them when they
returned.  Dawn and Liz tried telling Joe again that they were going out.
This time Joe watched as Dawn and Liz walked to the door before passing
out.  Not wanting to alarm Paul, Joe quietly motioned for the nurses.  As
soon as the nurses walked in, Paul knew something was wrong.  He asked Joe
what was wrong.  Joe was honest with Paul and told him Dawn and Liz passed
out.  Paul asked the nurses if Dawn and Liz were ok.  They reassured Paul
that Dawn and Liz would be ok.

The first one off the floor and to Paul's side was Dawn.  She walked over
to Paul, kissed him softly, and whispered she was ok.  She then looked over
at Liz, and told Paul Liz would be ok also.  Paul wrapped his arm around
Dawn and kissed her softly.  As he kissed Dawn, Liz climbed off the floor.
She first walked over and kissed Joe telling him she was ok.  Liz then
walked over to Paul and kissed him softly.  She promised Paul she was ok.
Paul then hugged Liz slowly.  Liz told him she passed out because she was
worried about him.  Paul hugged Liz again and promised her he would be ok.
Liz whispered in his ear how he should also reassure Dawn he would be ok.
Paul then motioned for Dawn again.  As she walked over, Paul hugged Dawn
and whispered how he would be ok.  Paul then went on to tell her about his
dream about the prom, an how he kept seeing it over and over.  Dawn kissed
him slowly and told him she loved him, she also told him he needed to show
Liz a little more attention because Liz is his mom.  Paul smiled and told
her she was the worlds greatest cousin and lover.  Dawn walked over to Liz
and told her Paul wanted her to come over to him.  Liz walked over and
hugged Paul.  Paul told her he loved her and he was so blessed being her
son.  Liz kissed Paul and thanked him for being the best son any mom could
possibly ask for.  Paul then motioned for Joe.  When Joe approached Paul
hugged him.  Paul then told Joe he was the world's best father ever.

After everyone hugged and talked a while, Joe took Dawn and Liz down for
dinner.  As Dawn Joe and Liz went to dinner, Paul's nurse came in to check
on him.  She gave him his pain medicine, checked his bandage, and checked
his vital signs.  As she listened to his chest, the nurse noticed a small
rumbling in Paul's chest.  She asked Paul how he felt.  Paul told her he
felt fine, he was just a little tired.  The nurse told him he should close
his eyes until his family got back.  Paul closed his eyes, and rested until
Dawn Joe and Liz came back.

As they walked back in the room, the nurse motioned for Joe and Liz.  She
then told Dawn Paul was asking for her.  Dawn walked in Paul's room, and
hugged him.  Paul kissed her and thanked her for being beside him during
this hard time.  Dawn kissed him back, and told him she would never leave
his side no matter how difficult things would become.  As Paul hugged Dawn,
he began coughing.  Dawn could hear the fluid in his lungs.  She ran out
and got everyone to come in with her.

When they all walked back in, Paul told the nurse the coughing hurt this
time.  The nurse called Paul's pulmonologist and asked her what they should
do.  She told the nurse she would come in and take a look at him.  Dawn and
Liz looked at Paul and then at Joe.  Joe knew this meant they were scared.
Paul motioned for Joe to come over.  Paul told Joe to take Liz for a walk
and talk to her, he then told Joe he would talk to Dawn.  Joe hugged him,
and told Liz he wanted to go take a walk and get a soda.  Liz told him ok
just as long as they were there when the doctor came in.

Joe took a walk with Liz to get a soda and calm her down.  Meanwhile Dawn
sat on the bed beside Paul on the bed.  Paul took Dawn's hand in his and
looked her in the eyes.  He told Dawn he didn't come through the surgery as
well as he had just to have fluid in his lungs do him in.  Dawn hugged him
and told him she loved him and was scared.  Paul assured her he would get
through this just fine.  He then whispered in her ear he would have to be
just fine, because he needed to be in shape for the recovery sex.  Dawn
whispered how she was not worried about that, all she was worried about was
him getting better and him getting home.  Paul kissed Dawn and told her he
loved her more and more every day.  Dawn laid beside Paul and stroked his
hair.

Just as Joe and Liz re-entered Paul's room, Paul's pulmonologist also
walked in.  She walked over to Paul and asked him how she was feeling.  He
told her outside his chest hurting when he coughed, he felt wonderful.  The
doctor listened to Paul's chest and put two orders on his chart.  The first
order was for 1000 mg of antibiotics 4 times per day.  The second order was
the placement of an NG tube down his throat to clear out his lungs.  When
Paul heard this, he began crying.  Dawn wiped his tears, and promised him
he would be ok.  Paul then asked if the NG tube could be placed now so he
could be surrounded by his family.  The doctor looked at him, and pulled
out the package with the tubing in it.

The doctor carefully gave Paul a small shot in his nose to numb it.  As she
did so, Paul held on to Dawn's hand.  The doctor then had Paul lean his
head back.  She told him swallow when he was told to.  Paul agreed to do as
he was told.  As the doctor began feeding the tube in, she told Paul to
begin swallowing.  As Paul began swallowing, and the doctor began feeding
the tube in, Paul squeezed Dawn's hand.  When the doctor was finished
placing the tube, Paul let go of Dawn's hand.  He then looked in her eyes,
and apologized for hurting her hand.  Dawn kissed his cheek and whispered
being in love means never having to say you're sorry.  Paul whispered in
Dawn's ear how much he was blessed having her there beside him.  Dawn then
hugged him softly.

When visiting hours in the I.C.U. were over, Dawn Joe and Liz got ready to
head home.  Paul was surprised that Joe was the first to hug him to say
good night.  Next Liz came up, kissed Paul softly on his cheek, then hugged
him softly.  Dawn then hugged Paul and kissed his cheek and whispered she
loved him and would miss him deeply.  She whispered she would keep up to
date on his recovery by calling Joe and Liz.  Paul whispered he loved her
and he would be home to her soon.  Dawn whispered I will be beside you
every weekend when you get home.  Paul kissed her and whispered he loved
her.  Dawn got off the bed, and joined Joe and Liz to leave for the night.

As everyone left, Paul settled in to get some sleep for the night.  He had
the nurse turn off his television, turn off his lights, and pull the covers
over him.  The nurse then handed Paul his call bell, and told him if he
needed her just push the button.  Paul closed his eyes and was dreaming
with in five minutes.  Sometime during the night, Paul pushed the call bell
for his nurse.  When the nurse walked in, he told her he needed his pain
medicine.  Ten minutes later the nurse came in, and gave him his medicine
in his I.V.  Paul then went back to sleep.

The next morning when Paul woke up, he smiled when he saw Joe and Liz
standing at the foot of his bed.  They walked over to him and hugged him
good morning.  Paul kissed them both and told them he loved him.  They
whispered back they loved him too.  As they were sitting and talking the
doctor who performed the surgery came in to check on Paul.  He asked Paul
how he was feeling.  Paul told him he was feeling ok.  The doctor then
checked his bandages and found them to be ok.  When he was done he told
Paul everything looked good.

After the doctor left Liz and Joe brought up the subject of their summer
vacation.  Joe told Paul he had rented the summer house again.  Paul smiled
and told him he couldn't wait to go back down the beach.  Joe hugged Paul
and told him when was ready, Joe would take him shopping for new summer
clothes.  Paul smiled, and asked him when he got home would he be allowed
to stay close to him and Liz.  Joe reassured him when he got home someone
would always be beside him.

Just before lunchtime, Paul's pulmonologist walked in and listened to
Paul's lungs.  She told Paul he sounded good, however she wanted to keep
the tube in him a little while longer.  Paul asked her how much longer he
would need to keep it in.  The doctor told him she would only keep it in
for 2 or 3 more days.  Paul just gave his normal smile, and told the doctor
ok.  She then turned around and walked out.

For the next three days, Paul's routine was the same.  Joe and Liz would
come visit, the surgeon would come check him, and finally the pulmonologist
would come listen to his lungs.  During this time Paul kept thinking of
Dawn and how wonderful she was helping him get through this.  Paul also
kept thinking of how wonderful it would feel being back in her arms again
soon.  Thoughts like this were what would help ease Paul's pain.

On the morning of the third day, the surgeon showed up as usual and checked
Paul's bandages.  He told Joe Liz and Paul everything was healing it should
be.  He asked Paul how he was feeling.  Paul told him he was feeling
better, however he was going crazy.  The doctor told Paul when he got the
tube out, and got in a regular room he would be getting in a wheelchair
again.  Paul smiled and thanked him.  The doctor smiled and walked out of
the room.

A few minutes later, the pulmonologist walked in and asked Paul how he
felt.  He told her he felt better and was ready to get the tube pulled from
his nose.  She smiled and told him that was what she was there to do.  The
doctor told him she was going to give him a pain medicine so he wouldn't
feel the tube coming out.  After she injected the medicine into his
I.V. she pulled the tube out for Paul.  When the tube was out, Paul began
breathing through his nose.  The doctor told Paul he would be ok, and she
would check in on him later.

Twenty minutes later the nurse who took care of him on the floor came, and
wheeled Paul back to his room on the floor.  His doctor had moved him into
a room right across the hall from the nurse's station.  This way if Paul
needed anything the nurses would be right there.  Joe and Liz felt so much
safer knowing where Paul was, and so did Paul.

As Paul was getting settled, the doctor walked in and asked Paul if he
would like trying to get into a chair.  Paul asked if Joe could lift him
into the chair.  The doctor told him yes if it helped him feel more secure.
Joe picked Paul up slowly and carefully, and placed him in the chair.
Thankfully the chair was laying flat so Joe could slide Paul in the chair
slowly.  The doctor told Paul he would have to work his way to a sitting
position, and remain sitting up straight for four hours.  In her mind Liz
knew Paul would be a while in doing this.  In the back of Paul's mind he
knew he needed to do this to get home for Liz's birthday.

A week after the surgery, Paul was taken down to a special room to have his
stitches removed from his spine.  The doctor walked in, and told Paul to
let him know if it began to hurt.  Paul promised he would tell him.  The
doctor then helped Paul lay on his stomach, and he began removing Paul's
stiches.  With the removal of each stitch Paul laid silently still.  Every
so often, the doctor would ask Paul if he was ok.  Paul reassured him he
was ok.  When the doctor reached the middle of Paul's back, Paul let the
doctor know he could no long withstand the pain.  The doctor told the nurse
to give Paul an I.V. shot of pain medicine.  The nurse gave Paul the
medicine, and Paul closed his eyes.  He began dreaming of Dawn and how much
he loved her.  The doctor finished pulling Paul's stitches, and waited for
him to wake up.

When Paul awoke, the nurse got Paul back into his chair.  She then wheeled
Paul back to his room.  As they entered the room, Joe and Liz were waiting
for him.  Liz walked up, thanked the nurse for bringing him back, and then
hugged Paul.  She asked him how he was feeling now that his stitches were
out.  Paul smiled, and told her he felt so much better.  Paul told Liz he
wanted them to help him work on sitting up straight for as long as he
could.  Joe and Liz helped him work on sitting up.  Paul was only able to
hold out for twenty minutes at a time.  Joe told him they would keep
working on it with him.  Paul hugged them and smiled.

Two days later, Joe and Liz were shocked when they walked in Paul's room.
They found him sitting up straight in his chair.  Liz walked over and
hugged him softly.  Paul whispered he was determined to sit up straight,
and come home.  Liz asked him how long he had been sitting up.  Paul asked
her what time it was.  When Liz told Paul what time it was, he smiled and
told her he only had to make it two more hours.  Joe smiled and walked over
to hug Paul.  He told him how proud he was of him.  Paul smiled and told
them he didn't want to let them down.  Joe and Liz assured him he could
never let them down.  Paul smiled and told them he loved them.  Joe
suggested they take a walk.

As Joe wheeled Paul out of his room, he asked him where he wanted to go.
Paul smiled and asked if they could go to the gift shop.  Joe wheeled Paul
up to the desk, and signed him off the floor.  Joe told the nurse they were
going to the gift shop to kill some time while Paul was sitting up
straight.  The nurse told him she thought it would be a good idea.

After getting on the elevator, Joe and Liz told Paul they had a surprise
for him.  Paul smiled and asked him what was going on.  Joe told him when
he got home, and was feeling better they were going to take him to visit
Dawn.  Paul smiled, he then asked if she would still be spending the
weekends with him.  Liz smiled and told him of course she would be.  Joe
told him the reason he said what he did was because Dawn had a surprise for
him at her house.  Paul smiled, and promised them he would be home soon.
Joe and Liz smiled and hugged him.

When they exited the elevator, they made their way to the gift shop.  While
wheeling around, Paul found a matching set of robes for him and Dawn.  He
then found a cute cuddly teddy bear with a heart saying I love you.  Joe
walked up, and showed Paul a model of an aircraft carrier.  Paul smiled and
told him they could build it together at night when he got home.  Joe
hugged him softly, and whispered now they needed to find something for Liz.
Paul smiled, and showed Joe a dozen long stem silk roses.  One dozen said
Love you, and one said world's greatest mom.  Joe picked a dozen of each.
When they were finished, Joe paid for everything and they left the shop.

As they were wheeling across the lobby, Paul noticed it was noon time.  He
looked up and smiled.  Liz asked him why he was smiling.  Paul told her he
had done it.  He had sat up straight for four hours.  Liz hugged him, and
kissed him.  Joe walked around and hugged Paul.  Paul told them he would be
home soon.  Liz smiled and told him she would love having him home with
her.  Paul smiled and told her he loved her.  Joe told him he loved him
too.

Returning to the floor, Joe saw Paul's surgeon standing at the nurses'
station.  He signed Paul back onto the floor, and let the surgeon know the
good news.  The surgeon walked over to Paul and told him he was happy for
him.  He then told Paul if he could home in a day or two.  Paul smiled, and
thanked him for the good news.  Joe shook his hand and told him they were
ready to have Paul home.  The doctor told him all he had to do was sit up
again for four hours.  Paul smiled, and told the surgeon he could do it.
Then in the same breath he asked if he could go lay down and rest some.
The doctor, Joe, and Liz all chuckled.  The doctor told Paul that since he
had done so well he could go lay down and rest.  Paul asked if he could go
home tomorrow.  The doctor told him he would need to sit up in his chair
again tomorrow.  Paul hung his head down feeling discouraged.  Liz walked
over to him and whispered Dawn's name in his ear.  Paul smiled and hugged
Liz.  After the doctor walked away, Joe Liz and Paul headed for Paul's
room.  Joe lifted Paul into his bed, and positioned him comfortably.  Paul
hugged Joe and Liz, and closed his eyes.

When Paul awoke from his nap, he found Joe and Liz had left the room.  He
buzzed for the nurse, and asked her where they had went.  She told him Joe
and Liz had stepped out to get him an surprise for doing so well today.
Paul smiled and asked her if she knew what they had planned for the
surprise.  She smiled and told him no, all she knew was they told her they
had a huge surprise for him.  Knowing his parents the way he did he
wondered what they had planned.  The nurse then helped Paul eat his dinner.
As he ate he couldn't wait to see what Joe and Liz had done.

Just as Paul finished his dinner, Joe and Liz walked in.  Paul asked them
if everything was ok.  Joe smiled and told him everything was perfect.
Paul looked at Liz and asked her where they had been.  Liz told him they
were arranging a small surprise for him.  Paul smiled and asked what they
had in mind.  Joe wheeled him out to the nurses' station and signed him off
the floor.  Paul knew this meant he was going for a walk.  Joe told the
nurse they would be back before visiting hours ended.  Joe and Liz then
wheeled Paul out to the elevator.

When they got off the elevator on the bottom floor, they headed for a small
snack bar which was open around the clock.  As they wheeled in, Paul looked
up and saw Charles and Dawn standing there.  Paul smiled as Charles and
Dawn walked up and hugged them.  As Dawn hugged him she whispered in his
ear she was happy to hear he was going to be home soon.  Paul told her he
couldn't wait to be home. Charles Dawn Joe Liz and Paul sat in the snack
bar, and talked about how Paul's recovery was going.  Joe told Charles if
things went the way they had hoped, Paul would be home the next day.  Dawn
smiled when she heard this.  She told him she would be so happy knowing he
was home.  They all continued sitting around talking until it was ten
minutes before the end visiting time.  Joe then told them he needed to get
Paul back up and in his bed before they left.  Charles and Dawn hugged Paul
and told him they would see him when he got home.  Dawn then hugged Paul
again, and whispered she loved him and couldn't wait to hold him again.

As Joe and Liz got Paul back in his room, and in bed the announcement that
visiting hours were over was made.  They got Paul positioned in bed, gave
him his call bell, and kissed him goodnight.  As they walked out the door,
Paul's nurse walked in and took his vital signs.  She then asked Paul if he
needed anything before he went to sleep.  He told her no he would be fine.
Paul then curled up and went to sleep.

In the morning, Paul woke up early and got in his wheelchair.  He looked at
the clock and saw it was 7:30 a.m.  He told himself he could do it.  He
knew in his heart he would make it home tomorrow.  Paul had his breakfast,
then did his schoolwork for the day.  He decided to keep himself busy.
Paul never once looked up at the clock.  When he finally did, it was noon
time, and his lunch was coming in.  As he sat and ate lunch, Joe and Liz
walked in.  They asked Paul how long he had been sitting up.  Paul told
them he had been up for four and half hours.  They all smiled and hugged
each other.  Paul told them he couldn't wait to get home.  Joe told Paul he
would be able to come home and rest in the living room.  Paul smiled, and
hugged them again.  Liz looked in Paul's eyes and began sobbing softly.
Paul hugged her and asked her what was bothering her.  She told him she was
just relieved she would have him home with her.  Paul whispered he loved
her and he told her he was sorry for making her worry.  Liz hugged him and
told him he didn't need to apologize.  Joe smiled and told Liz they would
take turns staying beside Paul as he rested.  Liz hugged Joe and told him
she liked the sounds of that.  Paul smiled seeing how close Joe and Liz had
become.  He knew in his heart this brought them all closer.

Joe decided since Paul had given him and Liz such wonderful new, he would
take him and Liz to dinner down the cafeteria.  When they went down for
dinner, Joe Liz and Paul sat and ate while Joe told Paul that when he was
better, he would be helping Joe pick out their new van.  Paul smiled and
hugged Joe.  Liz was so happy to see Paul back to his normal self.  She
hugged Joe and Paul, and told them she loved them both.  When they finished
their meal, they headed back to Paul's room.

While Joe lifted Paul back in bed, Liz went to work on packing Paul's bags.
She left out one change of clothes for him to wear home in the morning.
Liz then cuddled up in bed beside Paul.  She whispered how she missed
cuddling with him.  Paul smiled and told her he missed it too.  Joe smiled
and hugged them both.  Paul smiled and asked if they could all cuddle when
he got home.  Joe told him sure they could.  Paul smiled and told them he
couldn't wait.  Liz tucked Paul in, and fixed him up with his call bell.
Just as Joe and Liz were walking out the door, Paul's nurse came walking in
to take his vitals.  As she took Paul's vitals, Paul began thinking of dawn
and how wonderful she made him feel.  He fell asleep dreaming of her.

In the morning when Paul woke up, he buzzed for his nurse to come in.  When
she did he asked if he could get washed up and dressed.  She told him no
problem.  Paul explained it was because he wanted to be ready to go home.
The nurse smiled, and washed Paul up.  She asked him if he was ready to go
home.  Paul smiled and told her he couldn't wait until he got home.  Paul's
nurse then took his vital signs, and told him he was all ready to go home.

When Joe and Liz arrived, Paul was sitting in his chair ready to go.  Paul
wheeled up to Joe and Liz and hugged them.  Joe asked him if he was ready
to leave.  Paul told him he was more than ready.  The nurse then walked in
with his discharge papers.  While Liz was putting Paul's coat on, Joe
signed Paul's papers.  The nurse then walked up to Paul and removed his
I.V. and then his patient I.D. bracelet.  Joe smiled along with Liz as they
wheeled Paul out to the car.

On the ride home, Paul cuddled up to Liz and fell asleep.  Liz held Paul
gently as she watched him sleep.  She looked down at Paul told Joe she felt
so blessed having him home again.  Joe told Liz he felt the same way.
Meanwhile Paul was dreaming of how wonderful Dawn Joe and Liz had been to
him through this all.  He thought how wonderful it was having Dawn with him
the entire day.  Dreaming these things made Paul smile.

As they drove home, Joe and Liz decided to give Paul a treat.  Joe decided
they would stop at his favorite year round ice cream shop.  When they
pulled in the parking lot, Paul woke up.  When he saw where they were, Paul
smiled.  Joe asked him what he wanted.  Paul told Joe he wanted a black and
white milk shake.  Liz told Joe she wanted the same.  Joe told them he
would be right back.  He ran in, and came back out with the shakes.  They
sat in the car with the heat running while they enjoyed their shakes.

After their shakes, Joe headed for home.  Paul curled up by Liz and closed
his eyes.  Liz looked over at Joe with a look of complete concern.  He
whispered to Liz asking her what was wrong.  She whispered back she was
concerned because Paul kept going to sleep on them on the way home.  Joe
looked at Liz and whispered she had no reason to worry.  He whispered how
Paul had just been through an extremely delicate surgery, and him sleeping
was his body's way to recover on its own.  Liz smiled and thanked Joe.
Paul woke up, and looked at Liz and told her he would be fine he was just
tired from riding.  They all smiled and Joe continued on their way home.

As they pulled in the drive way, Paul told Joe he wanted to lay down on the
couch when he got in.  Liz looked in Paul's eyes, and told him she would
lay down beside him.  Paul smiled and told her he couldn't wait for her to
hold him.  Joe picked Paul up slowly and gently, and carried Paul into the
house.  Liz followed in behind them.  When Joe laid Paul on the couch, he
asked him if he needed or wanted anything.  Paul looked at Joe and told him
he only had one favor to ask.  Joe told him they would do anything to make
him feel safe.  Paul asked him if someone would please stay beside him.
Liz and Joe surprised him when Liz cuddled him on the couch while Joe laid
on the floor.  Liz stroked his hair, and kissed him slowly.  Soon everyone
was sleeping.

Joe was the first to open his eyes, and look around.  He noticed Liz and
Paul were still sleeping.  Joe went to the kitchen and ordered a Pizza to
be delivered for dinner.  He then returned to the couch, and sat back down
on the floor.  The next one to open their eyes was Paul.  He looked down at
Joe and smiled.  Liz then opened her eyes, noticed the time and asked what
they wanted for dinner.  Joe smiled and told her dinner was on its way.
Liz smiled and leaned down to kiss Joe.  Just as they broke their kiss,
there was a knock at the door.  Joe opened the door to pay for the pizza.
He then carried it out to the kitchen table.

After putting the pizza on plates, Joe came in and put Paul in his chair.
Liz then wheeled Paul to the table.  Joe smiled when he saw Paul smiling
again.  Liz looked down and saw Paul smiling, and this caused her to smile
also.  As they sat eating Paul asked if he was still allowed to have his
weekend sleepovers with Dawn.  Joe and Liz laughed and told him they felt
he deserved his sleepovers after all he just been through.  Paul smiled and
thanked them.  Liz helped Paul eat, as she saw him beginning to struggle.
Paul finished his pizza and sat with Joe and Liz while they finished their
dinner.

When they were done with their dinner, Joe Liz and Paul went into the
living room to relax.  As they sat watching television, Paul heard a
vehicle pull up to the house.  He looked out the door, and noticed Charles
and Dawn walking up the ramp.  When they entered the house, Charles hugged
Paul and Liz before shaking Joe's hand.  Dawn then hugged Joe then Liz and
finally Paul.  As she hugged Paul she whispered she loved him, and also
whispered they were still allowed to have their weekend sleepovers.  Paul
whispered he couldn't wait until their weekend sleepovers started again.
Dawn then hugged Joe and Liz.  She then returned to sitting right beside
Paul.  They all discussed how wonderful it felt to have Paul home, and how
wonderful it felt knowing he had come through the surgery without a
problem.  Paul then hugged Dawn again.  He whispered in Dawn's ear he could
only hope he could please her when she was there.  Dawn told Charles Joe
and Liz they would be back.  She then wheeled Paul into his room.

Dawn locked Paul's door, and turned on his light.  Paul in his own mind
knew Dawn was upset with him over what he had said to her.  Dawn then
walked over to him, took his hands in hers, and told him she loved him.
She then looked in his eyes, and told him if he could only hold her in his
arms for a while, she would understand.  Dawn then told him she didn't need
sex to be pleased by the man she loved.  Paul's eyes watered up as he
hugged Dawn.  She kissed him softly and whispered she would be gentle with
him.  Paul kissed her back, and whispered he knew she would be.  Dawn
stroked his cheek, and whispered she was so happy he was back in her arms
where he belonged.  She then opened the door, turned the light off and
wheeled Paul back out to the living room.

Around 9:00 p.m. Paul began to get tired.  He asked Liz if it would be ok
for him to go to bed.  Charles to them him and Dawn were headed for home
anyway so they could get some sleep.  Charles and Dawn hugged everyone
goodnight, and told them goodbye.  As Charles and Dawn walked out, Paul
headed for his bedroom.  After Joe shut the door, Liz walked in to put Paul
in bed.  Joe walked in and lifted Paul onto the bed for Liz.  Paul asked if
he could just sleep in the clothes he was in.  Joe carefully positioned
Paul in bed, and covered him in his favorite blankets.  Paul smiled, and
asked which one of them would be staying close beside him.  Joe laughed and
told him they would both be sleeping in sleeping bags beside him.  Paul
smiled, then closed his eyes, and drifted off to sleep.

Through out the night Paul woke up several times to either reposition or
due to pain.  Each time he awoke, Joe and Liz took turns getting up with
him.  Neither one of them complained because they were just so happy to
have Paul home with them where he belonged.  Paul would go right back to
sleep after being taken care of.  During his sleep, Paul dreamed of how
wonderful it felt being home, and back in Dawn's arms where he belong.

The rest of the week Joe Liz and Paul all concentrated on Paul getting
stronger.  Joe and Liz also went to Paul's school to make arrangements to
have a tutor come out to the house.  Joe and Liz went and spoke with the
principal, and explained the situation.  The principal explained the tutor
would have to come through Paul's home school district.  Joe and Liz knew
the principal of the school in their home district.  They went to speak
with him and arrange for a tutor to come out.  When they explained the
situation, the principal told them a tutor would be knocking on their door
sometime Monday after school.  Joe and Liz thanked him, and headed home.

When Friday afternoon arrived Paul was sitting in the living watching
cartoons.  Just as one of his cartoons ended, he heard Charles' truck pull
up in front of the house.  He wheeled over, and watched as Dawn got out of
Charles' truck and ran up the ramp.  She opened the door and was greeted by
Paul.  When they knew Charles had left, Dawn wrapped her arms around Paul
and kissed him slowly, deeply, and passionately.  Paul held Dawn close to
him and told her how wonderful it felt being back beside her.  Dawn looked
in his eyes and told him she couldn't stop thinking of the day she would be
back beside him.

Just as they began kissing again, Joe and Liz walked in.  They smiled and
told Dawn and Paul they had a surprise for them.  Paul's ears perked up and
heard the surprise.  He asked what they had in mind.  Joe told him he would
see when everything was ready.  Paul smiled and hugged Dawn.  Liz smiled
and told them they would love their surprise.  Joe leaned down, picked up
Dawn's bag and carried it to Paul's room for her.  Dawn thanked him, and
hugged him when he came back out.  Dawn then told Joe Liz and Paul she had
finished her homework before she came over.  Paul tapped Dawn on the arm.
She turned around and asked him what he needed.  Paul told her he just
wanted a hug.  Dawn hugged him and held him close to her.  As Dawn hugged
him, Paul whispered in her ear how he really loved having time off from
school.  He went on to whisper he just didn't like how he got the time off.
Dawn kissed him and whispered she loved having him home again.

Dawn wheeled Paul into his room and closed the door behind them.  She then
sat on Paul's lap and laid her head on his chest.  Paul ran his hand up and
down Dawn's side.  Dawn told him she missed him holding her the way he was
now.  Paul softly kissed her and told her he would hold her anytime she
wanted him to.  Dawn smiled and told Paul she wanted him to hold her
forever.  Paul smiled and promised he would.  Dawn asked him if she could
sleep in bed beside him.  Paul told her he would always sleep beside her.
Before Dawn and Paul could do anymore, Liz knocked on the door and told
them it was time for dinner.

Dawn wheeled Paul out to the kitchen and found a nice candle light dinner
for the four of them.  Joe and Liz sat on one side of the table while Dawn
and Paul sat on the other side.  They sat around talking about how
wonderful it felt having Paul back home with them where he belonged.  Dawn
leaned over and kissed Paul slowly.  Paul smiled and told Dawn he loved
knowing she was beside him all the way.  She told him she would never walk
away from him ever.  As they finished dinner, Paul asked if he could go lay
on the couch.  Dawn promised she would stay beside him and keep her eyes on
him.  Joe laid Paul on the couch, and Dawn laid down beside him.  Joe then
returned to the kitchen.

As Dawn wrapped her arms around Paul, he flinched.  Dawn asked him if he
was ok.  Paul assured her he was ok.  He went on to tell her he flinched
because he was just slightly tender.  Dawn kissed the back of Paul's neck
and whispered in his ear how she felt so wonderful it felt being back
beside him.  She told him how while he was in the hospital all she could do
was think of him and all he had been through. Paul told her how when things
were rough, all he could do was think of her.  He went on to tell her how
he would close his eyes and see her smile looking back at him.  Dawn told
him how she would sit in school and think of him and how she would even
think of him as she did her homework.  Paul told her how he was wondering
what surprise Joe and Liz were planning.  Dawn laughed and told Paul she
thought they would find out soon enough.  Paul laid in Dawn's arms and
began to drift off.

When it was bedtime for Dawn and Paul, Joe and Liz came in carrying
sleeping bags.  Joe connected a set together for him and Liz.  Then Joe
took the other set and connected the other set for together for Dawn and
Paul.  Joe gently placed Paul in one sleeping bag and Dawn laid in the one
connected to Paul.  Dawn carefully cuddled up to Paul and kissed him.  Paul
kissed Dawn and ran his hands slowly up and down Dawn's body.  She gently
rolled over on top of Paul.  Paul held her softly as he kissed her slowly.
Meanwhile Joe and Liz laid in their sleeping bags kissing each other and
caressing each other.  Liz then slid over and began kissing both Dawn and
Paul.  Not wanting to be left out Joe slid over behind Liz, and began
rubbing his throbbing cock over her soft smooth pussy lips.  Slowly Joe
slid his cock inside Liz.  Dawn then slid up so Paul could lick her soft
smooth pussy.  Liz then moved down so she could slip her mouth around
Paul's stiffening cock.  The four lovers made the type of gentle love they
had been craving for a while.  When the four of them reached their climaxes
they closely cuddled and fell asleep holding each other lovingly.

In the morning, Dawn and Liz woke up and headed for the bathroom.  The two
lovers climbed into the shower and began kissing.  Dawn slid down on her
knees and began licking slowly on Liz's clit.  She then slid the tip of her
tongue along the edges of Liz's soft smooth lips.  Liz moan softly and held
Dawn's head in place.  As Dawn licked on Liz slowly, she could taste Liz's
juices begin to flow.  Liz's moans turned Dawn on more.  Dawn slid her
tongue inside Liz and licked hungrily.  Feeling Liz's pussy tighten around
her tongue, Dawn licked and licked until Liz flooded Dawn's mouth with her
sweet juices.  Dawn stood up, adjusted the water for a warm relaxing
shower.  After their shower Dawn and Liz went in to get dressed.

Meanwhile in Paul's room, Joe woke up and looked at Paul laying beside him.
He slowly rolled Paul over and asked how he was feeling.  Paul told him he
was feeling wonderful.  Joe smiled, and began massaging Paul's body slowly.
In response to Joe's touch, Paul slid up to Joe, and felt Joe's cock
rubbing his butt crack.  Joe whispered in his ear he would be gentle.  He
then slowly slid his cock in to Paul's butt.  Paul moaned and began moving
slowly in rhythm with Joe.  With every stroke, Paul's butt took more and
more in.  Joe held Paul to him as he filled Paul's butt with his thick
ropes of cum.  As Joe and Paul cuddled, Joe told Paul how much he truly
loved him.  Paul then told Joe he loved him too.

Joe then called Liz in to help him wash Paul up.  Liz walked in and brought
in all that was needed for Paul's sponge bath.  As they bathed him, Liz
looked down at Paul and began kissing him.  Joe then moved down and began
sucking on Paul's soft cock.  Paul began moaning softly as he let the
feelings wash over him.  He loved how the attention he was receiving from
Joe and Liz.  Paul closed his eyes and enjoyed how it felt.  Joe could feel
Paul's orgasm building in his throbbing cock.  Joe sucked more and more as
Paul moaned louder and louder.  Liz kissed down Paul's neck and began
sucking on his nipples.  Feeling this sent Paul over the edge, and he
filled Joe's mouth with rope after rope of his hot cum.  When his body
relaxed, Joe helped Liz give Paul his bath.

When Paul was cleaned and dressed, Dawn came in and wheeled Paul out to the
living room.  She wheeled Paul up beside the couch so hit could sit next to
her.  As they sat watching television, Dawn leaned over, and kissed Paul.
She then whispered how wonderful it felt being back beside him felt.  Paul
told Dawn he was afraid he wasn't going to get the chance to be back beside
her.  Dawn looked in his eyes, and told him he was safe and back home
beside her where he belonged.  She then got up off the couch, and sat
gently on his lap.  As Dawn sat on Paul's lap, she slid her sweats down,
and then exposed Paul's soft cock.  She then slid Paul's cock up and down
her butt crack before sliding it inside her inch by inch.  Dawn and Paul
both moaned in pleasure as Dawn slowly rode up and down on Paul.  Paul held
on to Dawn's hips and guided her up and down his now pulsing cock.  The
longer Dawn slid up and down on Paul, the louder the two lovers moaned.
When Paul felt his orgasm building he held Dawn down on his cock.  Paul
then filled Dawn's butt hole with ropes and ropes of his hot cum.  As the
young lovers calmed down from their orgasm Dawn laid her head on Paul's
chest.  Paul stroked Dawn's hair and kissed her tenderly.

Liz walked in the living room, and told Dawn and Paul that breakfast was
ready.  Dawn slowly slid off Paul's lap and wheeled him out to the kitchen.
Liz had made them Paul's favorite breakfast of funnel cakes and milk.  Dawn
sat beside Paul and helped feed him.  As they ate Liz asked Dawn how school
was going.  Dawn told her school was ok, but she was concentrating more on
helping Paul recover from his surgery.  Liz smiled and told her she could
understand it completely.  Liz then hugged Dawn and Paul.  She then cleared
the table.

Dawn wheeled Paul into the living room.  Liz followed in behind them and
asked what they had planned to do.  Paul smiled and told Liz he would love
it if he could cuddle with her and Dawn.  Liz smiled, and told Paul she
would love cuddling with him and Dawn.  Liz then picked Paul up and laid
him on the floor.  Dawn laid down beside him and Liz laid down on his other
side.  Liz rubbed her hand over Paul's chest, while Dawn slid her hand
inside Paul's sweats.  Liz began kissing Paul while Dawn slid down his
sweats.  After getting his pants off, Dawn slowly took Paul's cock in her
mouth.  Liz kissed Paul slowly and tenderly, while Dawn sucked Paul's cock
and balls lovingly.  Paul put his arm around Liz and pulled her closer as
they kissed.  Dawn ran her tongue up and down Paul's cock until she felt
him begin to get hard.  She then switched places with Liz.  Paul loved
kissing Dawn and tasting his own cock on her lips.  As they kissed, Liz
took Paul's cock and balls in her mouth.  She began sucking him slowly and
gently feeling him get hard in her mouth.  As Dawn kissed Paul, he began
moaning because of what Liz was doing.  Between kissing Dawn, and Liz
sucking his dick, Paul orgasmed and filled Liz's mouth with rope after rope
of his thick cum.  When they all calmed down, the three lovers cuddled and
fell asleep in each others arms.

As they awaken, Liz looks out the window and notices the snow falling down.
Silently she goes to look for Joe.  She finds him down the basement
building a fire.  Liz walks up to Joe and wraps her arms around him from
behind.  She whispered in his ear asking him what was on his mind.  Joe
looked back at her and told her he was thinking of how proud he was of Paul
for the way he handled the surgery.  Liz kissed him slowly and told him she
knew what he meant.  Joe turned to face Liz and asked her what was on her
mind.  Liz looked in Joe's eyes and told him she was thinking of how Paul
and Dawn looked more and more like lovers every time they were together.
Joe let out a small laugh and then told Liz he remembered how they looked
when they were dating.  Liz smiled and pulled Joe in to her.  Joe slid his
hands up and down Liz's butt cheeks.  Liz looked in Joe's eyed and ran her
hands slowly down his chest.  Joe kissed Liz and slowly began to slide his
hands inside her jeans.  Liz felt his hands as they rested on her butt
cheeks.  She slowly began grinding her pussy against Joe's cock.  Joe lead
Liz over to the couch in front of the fireplace.  He laid her down slowly
as he kissed down her neck.  Joe laid on top of her and began caressing her
softly.  Liz looked in Joe's eyes and saw the passion like they shared on
their wedding night.  Joe had just unzipped Liz's jeans when he heard Paul
call out for them.  He zipped her jeans back up, and walked up stairs.

Joe walked in the living room and asked Paul what was wrong.  Paul told him
his back was beginning to hurt him.  Joe walked in the kitchen and came
back with Paul's medicine.  Paul took his pill and laid back down beside
Dawn.  Joe sat on the love seat and watched Paul as he cuddled up to Dawn
on the floor.  Liz walked in and sat down beside Joe.  She asked him what
he was thinking.  Joe told her he was thinking of all Paul had been through
in life, and how Paul never complained not even once.  Liz told him she
understood.  They cuddled on the love seat, until Paul and Dawn both woke
up.

That night at dinner, Paul shocked Joe and Liz when he asked them if they
were proud of him.  Joe walked up and hugged Paul.  He reassured Paul they
were both very proud of him.  Joe went on to tell him how much they felt
blessed having him as their son.  Liz then got up and came over to Paul.
She hugged him softly and rubbed his back gently.  Not wanting to be left
out, Dawn leaned in and hugged Paul also.  She whispered in Liz's ear she
wanted to ask her something.

After dinner, Dawn took Liz into Paul's room.  She then shut the door.  Liz
asked if everything was ok.  Dawn told Liz she wanted help doing something
for Paul.  Liz asked her what she had in mind.  Dawn suggested her and Liz
seduce Paul slowly.  Liz smiled and told her she liked the idea.  Dawn
suggested they do it right before her and Paul went to bed.  Liz looked at
her and smiled.  Dawn suggested they do a slow strip tease for Paul.  Liz
smiled and told her they should wear a robe and Paul's favorite panties for
each of them underneath.  Dawn smiled and told Liz how she would be wearing
her cartoon panties.  Liz told Dawn she would be wearing her black lace
thong.  Dawn licked her lips and smiled.  Liz kissed her before they left
the room.

As Dawn and Liz walked in the living room, Paul and Joe smiled.  Dawn
walked directly over to Paul and hugged him.  Liz walked up to Joe, kissed
him, and sat on his lap.  Joe was surprised by Liz doing this.  He put his
arms around Liz and began kissing her as his hands caressed her slowly.
Dawn then carefully sat herself down on Paul's lap and laid her head on his
chest.  Paul stroked her hair, and whispered he loved her more and more
every day.  Dawn kissed Paul softly on his neck.  The four lovers watched a
romantic comedy.

When it came time for bed, Joe wheeled Paul into his room, and lifted him
into bed.  Joe then left the light on as he walked out the room.  Paul laid
in his bed waiting for Dawn and Liz to come in to say good night.  He had
just closed his eyes, when Dawn and Liz walked in slowly.  When Paul
realized that all they had on were robes, he smiled widely.  Dawn was the
first to approach Paul.  She slowly leaned over, and teased Paul by showing
him she was topless underneath.  Dawn then slowly untied her robe as she
had her back to Paul.  She then let the robe slide down and off revealing
Paul's favorite panties of hers.  Dawn then joined Paul in bed.  Next Liz
walked over, and leaned over showing Paul she was topless.  She then did
the same as Dawn.  When Paul saw Liz's butt in her black thong, he smiled
widely again.  Liz then walked over, and reached inside Paul's sweat pants.
She gently took hold of Paul's soft cock, and began stroking him slowly.
While Liz was stroking Paul, Dawn leaned in and kissed Paul lovingly.  Paul
responded by holding Dawn close to him while they kissed.  Liz worked
Paul's stiffening cock up and down slowly.  Dawn began rubbing Paul's chest
as she kissed him.  Between Liz stroking him, and Dawn rubbing his chest
Paul began moaning.  As he moaned Liz picked up her pace stroking Paul.  It
didn't take long before Paul's stiff cock filled Liz's hand with ropes and
ropes of his cum.  As he calmed down, Liz left the room, and let Dawn and
Paul cuddle and get some sleep.

As Sunday morning came around, Dawn and Paul cuddled in his bed.  Dawn held
Paul in her arms and told him how much she loved him, and how she was so
proud of him how he was doing recovering.  Paul kissed her lovingly and
told her that the reason he was doing so well was because her and Liz were
by his side.  Dawn told him they would always be beside him no matter what.
Paul slowly ran his fingers down Dawn's back.  He then pulled Dawn closer
to him.  Dawn ran her hand gently down Paul's back.  She then whispered in
his ear how she hated the thoughts of leaving to go home.  Paul kissed her
lovingly and whispered he felt the same way.

After being awake for about an hour, Liz walked in to get Paul up.  Liz
asked Dawn if she would help her get Paul up.  Dawn asked Liz how she could
help.  Liz told Dawn she could hold Paul as Liz washed his back side.  Dawn
told Liz she would help her any way she could.  Liz rolled Paul on his
side, and she then told Dawn to hold him by placing her hands on his side.
As Dawn supported Paul, Liz washed his back, and butt and then dried him
off.  When Liz was done, Dawn helped Liz roll Paul over on his back.  Liz
then finished Paul's bath and got him dressed.  Dawn then changed her
clothes so she was ready to go home.

Liz then asked Dawn and Paul what they wanted for breakfast.  Dawn and Paul
agreed on cereal.  Liz then wheeled Paul out to the kitchen.  Dawn
followed, and then asked Paul what type of cereal he wanted.  Paul told her
to grab anything that she wanted.  Dawn brought over the cereal and helped
Paul with his bowl while she ate also.  As they sat eating, Liz told Paul
that she had some news for him.  Paul asked what was going on.  Liz told
him that the school was sending out a tutor beginning Monday.  Paul smiled,
and told Liz he wondered when the tutor would be starting.  Dawn leaned in
and whispered in his ear that the tutor better not be a cute female.  Paul
kissed Dawn and told her he wouldn't cheat on her even if the tutor was a
cute female.  Dawn laughed ant told Paul she trusted him and his love for
her.  This made Paul happy.  Paul then asked Dawn if there was anything
special she wanted to do the following weekend.  Dawn told his she would
love it if him her and Liz could go walk around the mall.  Paul looked over
at Liz and asked if it would be ok.  Liz told him it would be if the
weather didn't turn bad on them.  Dawn hugged Paul and whispered she loved
him.

When Dawn and Paul were done breakfast, Dawn wheeled Paul in so they could
watch television.  As they sat watching a movie, Dawn kissed Paul and told
him if they went to the mall she had a surprise for him.  Paul looked deep
in Dawn eyes and told her he didn't need any surprises as long as he had
her.  He went on to tell her he loved, valued, and treasured every moment
they shared together.  Dawn stood up, and sat down on Paul's lap.  She
leaned her head on his chest, and listened to his heartbeat.  Paul stroked
her hair, and kissed the top of her head.  He then whispered how she was
the inspiration to get him through his surgery.  Dawn looked up in his
eyes, and told him how she would be there for him through anything good or
bad.  Paul hugged her, and thanked her for being so wonderful to him.

As the day went on, Dawn asked Paul if he was ready to go back to school.
Paul told her he was, because even though he was going back to school, he
would still be at home if he needed to lay down.  Dawn smiled, and told him
if he laid down she only had one request.  Paul asked what her request was.
Dawn told him all she asked of him, was he think of her as he laid in bed.
Paul smiled and told her he always thought of her when he would lay in bed.
Dawn kissed him softly, and told him she always thought of him as she laid
in her bed also.  Paul held Dawn to him, and thanked her for loving him.
Dawn looked up in Paul's eyes and smiled lovingly.

Before Paul and Dawn could do anything, Charles pulled up to bring her
home.  As Charles made his way up the ramp, Dawn jumped off Paul's lap and
sat on the couch.  Dawn and Paul hated having to hide their love around the
rest of the family.  Charles knocked on the door, and Dawn let him in.  He
asked Paul how he was feeling.  Paul told him he was feeling ok and how he
was going to go back to school the next day.  Charles told him he was happy
for him.  Liz walked in, and told Charles how the school had arranged for a
tutor to come out to the house so Paul wouldn't fall behind.  She went on
to tell Charles how having Dawn there with him, seemed to lift Paul's
spirit.  Charles smiled and told Liz he got the hint.  He turned back to
Paul and told him he would see him next weekend.  Paul smiled, and thanked
Charles.  Dawn then walked up and hugged Liz and Paul good bye.  Paul then
sat and watched as Charles and Dawn pulled away.

The rest of the night, Joe Liz and Paul sat and watched television.  They
all cuddled up on the floor in their sleeping bags.  Paul asked Liz what
time the tutor would be at the house.  Liz told him she was told the tutor
would be there at 3:00 p.m.  Paul smiled and told Liz that was good because
that meant all the shows he watched with Liz would be done.  Joe and Liz
laughed and told Paul that him saying those words showed them he was coming
back around.  Paul told them he was anxious to get back to school.  Joe and
Liz hugged Paul and told him they were proud of him.  Paul told them he
loved them so much.  The rest of the night Paul remained cuddled close to
Liz.  He slept soundly as he laid in Liz's arms.

In the morning, Joe and Liz carried Paul in his room to wash him up and
dress him.  As they gave Paul his bath, he asked Joe and Liz if they would
be close by while the tutor was there.  Liz told him they would both be
somewhere in the house.  Paul smiled and told them he would feel better
knowing they were close by.  Liz told Paul she would be in the living room,
and Joe told him he would be in the basement.  Paul thanked them both and
hugged them.  Liz then wheeled Paul out so he could have breakfast.

Liz walked in the kitchen then asked Paul what he wanted for breakfast.
Paul told her he would love some oatmeal.  Liz began making Paul's
breakfast, and thought of how much she loved him.  She thanked God she had
the bond with Paul that she did.  Liz stood at the stove and looked over at
Paul.  She knew how wonderful things were going for all of them.  Paul
looked over at Liz and asked her to put extra sugar in his oatmeal.  Liz
laughed and told him she would do it but he was already sweet enough.  Paul
smiled and told Liz he loved her too.  As Liz carried Paul's breakfast to
him, she noticed Paul was in deep thought.  She asked him what he was
thinking of.  Paul told her he was thinking how blessed he felt having her
Dawn and Joe by his side.  Liz hugged him and kissed him softly.  She then
sat down beside him, and fed him carefully.

After his breakfast, Paul sat at the kitchen table and read over his school
books.  While he was reading Liz came up and asked him how he was feeling.
Paul told her he was ok, but that he was also a little nervous about how
the tutoring was going to go.  Liz sat down beside Paul and asked him why
he was so nervous.  Paul confessed he was nervous because he was not used
to being in school at home.  Liz told him that he would not be alone in the
house.  Paul hugged Liz and told her he loved her.  Liz hugged him, and sat
with him while he read over his books more.

When Paul was done reading over his books, he asked Liz if she would lay
down with him, and take a nap.  Liz told him she would as long as they were
up in time for the tutor.  He understood what she meant.  Liz then wheeled
Paul into the living room, and laid down on the floor with him.  She then
called out for Joe.  When he came in she asked him asked to make sure her
and Paul would be up in time for the tutor.  Joe told her he would make
sure they were both up for the tutor.  Liz and Paul then cuddled on the
floor, and took their nap.

Approximately a half an hour before the tutor was to show up, Joe woke Liz
and Paul up.  Joe picked Paul up and put him back in his chair.  He then
wheeled Paul out to the kitchen while Liz made Paul a hot cup of tea to
wake him up.  Paul drank his tea and talked to Joe and Liz about how he
hoped he would be back in school soon.  He also told them how he was
praying their summer vacation wouldn't be at risk because of his recovery.
Joe promised him they would go away no matter what.  Paul smiled and
thanked them both.

As Paul finished his tea, there was a knock at the door.  Joe walked to the
door, and let the tutor in.  He lead her to the kitchen where Paul was
sitting.  The tutor introduced herself to Paul as Mrs. G.  She sat down
next to Paul and told him she would be coming to see him three days a week
so he could keep up in school.  Paul smiled and asked her how far he was
behind right now.  She told him he was only behind by a week but that she
could get him caught up.  Paul told her he wanted to get caught up because
he didn't want to repeat the year.  Mrs. G. told him she would help him get
caught up.  The first thing she did was open up the lesson plans the
teacher from school sent him home with.  Next she looked how far he had
gotten while he was going to school in the hospital.  She smiled and then
told Paul she had good news for him.  Paul asked her what it was.  She told
him he was only a day behind and not a week like they thought.  Paul then
sat with Mrs. G. and worked on the one day he needed to catch up on.  After
finishing that day, they worked on the assignments for the current day.  As
they worked, Paul kept thinking of Dawn and how he couldn't wait to see her
on Friday.  Mrs. G. noticed how fast Paul was doing his math assignments.
She was even more shocked when she checked it, and it was all done
correctly.  They then finished the other subjects they needed to cover.
When they were done, Mrs. G. asked Joe and Liz what days would work best
for them.  Paul hung his head, and looked at Liz sadly.  Liz knew what that
look was for.  Liz then looked over at Joe.  Joe then told Mrs. G that
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday would be best.  Mrs. G. told them she would
see them tomorrow then.  She shook everyone's hand and walked out.

After she left Joe walked in and asked Paul how things went.  Paul told him
everything went great.  Joe asked him what he was working on.  Paul told
him he was doing his homework.  Liz walked out, and sat down with Paul.
Joe decided to join them.  As Paul did his homework, he thanked Joe and Liz
for not having the tutor there on Fridays.  Liz laughed and told him she
knew that was what his sad puppy dog eyes were for.  She told him she knew
he didn't want the tutor there when Dawn was supposed to be there.  When
Paul finished his work, he asked Joe to lay him down on the floor so he
could take a nap.

Joe wheeled Paul into the living room, and laid him down on the floor.  He
covered Paul up with a blanket, and promised him he would be on the couch
while he slept.  Paul closed his eyes, and began dreaming of how it would
feel being back in Dawn's arms.  He could actually feel Dawn's arms around
him.  Paul could see Dawn's smile as he held her after they made love.  He
imagined he was running his fingers through her long silky hair.  Paul
began smiling and rolling over on the floor.  Joe wondered what Paul was
dreaming about.  He knew it must of been something that was making Paul
happy.

When Paul woke up from his nap, Joe looked down at him and asked what he
was dreaming about.  Paul blushed and told Joe how he had been dreaming of
Dawn.  Joe told him he remembered those days from when he was dating Liz.
Paul asked Joe where Liz was.  He told him she was out in the kitchen
making dinner.  Paul asked Joe to put him in his chair so he could go out
and see what was for dinner.  Before Joe could pick Paul up, Liz called
them for dinner.

The next three months went by with the same routine.  Paul's tutor would
come Mondays Tuesdays and Wednesdays, then Paul would nap, then dinner,
followed by homework, then bed.  Paul would count down the hours until Dawn
would come for the weekends.  Then on the weekends Dawn and Paul would
spend as much time as possible in bed cuddling and making love.  They would
also join in with Joe and Liz when they could.  And when the weekends were
over, Dawn and Paul would go back to counting the hours again.

On the first Wednesday in May Paul went to the doctor to be cleared to go
back to school.  The doctor ordered x-rays so he could see how the rods
were settling in Paul's back.  After the x-rays were done, the doctor came
in to see how things were going.  He asked Paul how he was feeling.  Paul
told him he was feeling much better, and he was ready to go back to school.
The doctor looked at Joe and Liz and asked them how they would feel about
Paul going back to school.  Joe and Liz both agreed Paul should go back to
school.  Paul smiled as he watched the doctor filled out the paperwork
clearing Paul to go back to school.  After the doctor signed them, he told
Joe Liz and Paul he would see all of them back in three months for Paul's
check up.

When they got home from the doctor, Joe called Paul's school to let them
know he was cleared to go back to school.  The teacher told Joe she was
happy to hear that.  She asked him when Paul would be returning to school.
Joe told her he would be coming back on that Monday.  She told him they
would need to be shown how to lift Paul, and how to bathroom him since he
had the rods put in.  Joe told her that he would be bringing Paul in for
his first day along with Liz.  She told him she looked forward to seeing
all of them.

That Monday when it came time for Paul to go back to school, Joe and Liz
helped Paul get ready.  They dressed him, fed him, and put him the car.  As
they drove to school, Paul asked Joe and Liz what they would be doing while
he was in school.  Liz told him they would be home working in the back
yard.  Paul told her he asked because he was nervous about going back.  Liz
hugged him and told him he would be ok and they would be back to get him at
the end of the day.

As they pulled up at the school, Joe and Liz took Paul into the classroom.
The teacher walked over and welcomed Paul back.  She then asked Joe and Liz
if there was anything new they needed to know.  Joe told her how Paul
needed to be laid flat on his back so he could use the urinal.  Liz then
wheeled Paul in the bathroom to show the teacher how to lift Paul safely.
After doing so, they came back out to the classroom.  When the teacher felt
that all her questions had been answered, Joe and Liz left to go home.

During his first day back, all the kids were asking Paul a lot of
questions.  Paul was also concentrating on his school work.  When it came
time for lunch, Paul's friend who had been hitting on him before his
surgery asked Paul to help her set the table.  The teacher then asked Paul
if he would help.  Paul wheeled into the bathroom to get things for lunch.
As he wheeled in, his friend followed in behind him.  When she knew no one
could see, his friend pulled up her dress revealing her panties to him.
Paul shrugged his shoulders, and continued what he was doing.  He then
wheeled out and set the table for lunch.

When the school day was over, Joe and Liz showed up to pick Paul up.  They
asked the teacher how things went.  She told them Paul seemed to have done
well coming back.  She told them he acted like he was his old self again.
While they were talking Liz looked over at Paul, and noticed he looked like
he was drifting off to sleep.  She walked over, and wheeled him back over
where Joe and the teacher were.  Joe looked down at Paul and saw how tired
he was.  The teacher told Paul she would see tomorrow, and Paul told her he
would see her.  Then Liz wheeled Paul out with Joe's help.

On the way home, Paul cuddled up to Liz.  He laid his head on her chest and
smiled.  Liz asked Paul if everything was ok.  Paul told her it was ok, but
he was tired.  Liz stroked his hair, and told him everything would be ok.
Paul asked Liz if it would be ok for him to take a nap when he got home.
She told him she expected him to since this was his first day back to
school.  As Liz was telling him this, she looked down and noticed Paul had
went to sleep.  She held on to him and let him sleep on the way home.

As they arrived home, Joe carefully carried Paul in and laid him on the
couch.  Liz walked in and sat on the couch beside Paul.  As she sat there,
she looked through Paul's school work to see how much homework he had.  Liz
noticed the only homework Paul had was math.  She knew it wouldn't take him
long to finish it, so she let him sleep until she had dinner ready.  While
Liz stayed with Paul, Joe went out to carry Paul's wheelchair in.  When Joe
was back inside, Liz went to the kitchen to begin dinner.

About an hour later, Liz asked Joe to wake Paul up and bring him out for
dinner.  Joe unfolded Paul's chair, and woke Paul up slowly.  As Paul
opened his eyes, he asked Joe if it was ok he had taken a nap.  Joe told
him it was no problem at all.  Joe wheeled Paul out to the kitchen table,
and helped him sit up so he could eat.  While they were eating, Paul told
them he had a long day, and he would need a few days to get back on his
feet again.  Liz hugged him and told him they would help him any way they
could.  Paul hugged her back and thanked her.

After dinner, Paul sat down with Liz and began doing his math homework.  As
he worked on his math, Liz asked him how he was feeling.  Paul told her he
was ok for now, but how he wanted to go to bed when he was done.  Liz told
him she would give him a nice hot bath before putting him in bed.  Paul
smiled, and asked her if she would join him.  Liz smiled and told him she
would love to.  Paul hugged her, and continued to work on his math.

When Paul finished his homework, Liz ran a nice hot bath for Paul and
herself.  She then undressed Paul and herself before climbing in the tub
with him.  As she held Paul close, Liz ran her hands up and down Paul's
soft wet body.  Paul looked up in Liz's eyes and told her he loved her so
much.  Liz leaned down and kissed him softly on his lips.  Paul leaned back
against Liz and ran his hands up and down her legs.  Liz then picked Paul
up, and turned him so he was facing her.  Paul leaned in and began kissing
and licking her nipples, while he slid his fingers over her soft pink
velvety pussy lips.  Liz moaned in pleasure as Paul slowly played with her
softly pink velvety pussy lips.  Paul then rubbed his thumb over her clit
more and more until Liz had a very strong orgasm.  When she calmed down,
Liz finished their bath, and got Paul ready for bed.

The rest of the Paul's week basically went the same.  He found himself
regaining his strength with every passing day.  Paul could feel himself
getting stronger and stronger.  He found himself being able to stay up
later and later.  Paul also found himself being able to do homework without
sleeping right after.  Joe and Liz were also very proud of him.  They told
him they were so happy for him, and so very proud of him.  Joe and Liz also
promised him nothing would change for him and Dawn either.  Paul smiled and
hugged them both.

When Friday finally arrived, Paul came home from school to find Dawn
waiting for him at the house.  She came up, and hugged him softly.  Paul
kissed her lovingly and told her how much he missed and loved her.  She
told him she loved and missed him too.  Paul and Dawn went into their room,
and closed the door behind them.  Dawn looked in Paul's eyes, and told him
she had some news for him.  Paul got a nervous look on his face as he heard
Dawn say this.  He told Dawn he had a question for her first.  Dawn asked
him what was wrong.  He told her all he wanted to know was how she felt
about him returning to school.  She smiled at him, and told him she was
proud of him for getting back to school so soon.  She went on to tell him
he went back quicker than she thought he would.  Dawn then took Paul by the
hand and told him she had some news for him.  Paul looked in her eyes, and
asked if everything was ok.  Dawn told him everything was ok, but she had
some news for him.  She told him they were unable to make love this
weekend.  Paul looked in her eyes, and asked what was wrong.  Dawn told him
she got her period for the first time earlier that morning.  Paul didn't
need any details.  He told her he loved her and would be happy just holding
her.  Dawn smiled and kissed him lovingly.

That weekend seemed to go slower for Dawn and Paul due to being unable to
make love.  The two lovers spent the weekend cuddling and kissing.  Dawn
told Paul she loved him, and she loved how they could be happy just
cuddling, kissing, and talking.  Paul told her he felt the same way.
Neither one of them had any regrets that weekend.  They were feeling even
closer than before.  By the time Sunday came around, Dawn wished she didn't
have to go home.  Also Paul was wishing summer break would hurry up and
arrive.  As Charles arrived, Dawn hugged Paul goodbye along with Joe and
Liz.  Charles then carried Dawn's bag out to his truck.  Paul watched as
they pulled off.  Liz then closed the door, and hugged Paul.
