Larry’s panic dissipates rapidly when he hears a sound from down the hallway. With a sigh, he heads toward Julian’s room and stops in the doorway, seeing Matthew shifting on the bed with Indy and Sirius. He spots Larry and rubs his eyes quickly to hide his tears. In his arms, he holds the lion that Larry had given to Julian when he was an infant.

His heart squeezes and he walks quietly over to the bed, sitting on the edge of it and looking down at his youngest son. “You okay, buddy?” Matthew shakes his head as he curls into the stuffed animal, hiding his face from his father. Larry nods and lies down next to him, forcing the dogs to shift and make room. “Me neither.” He pulls Matthew into a tight embrace, the lion soft and comforting between them. Matthew cries into his fathers chest, holding onto him just as tightly as Larry holds him.

After a few minutes of letting her emotions roll freely out of her, the blonde makes progress in scrubbing her body, her breaths shaky and weak. Each movement was quick without much feeling behind it as she bites her lower lip to keep from breaking down once again. In what felt like no time at all, Ally shuts the water off and reaches out to grab a towel to dry herself, before wrapping the cloth around her slender frame.

Once she was sure that she wasn’t dripping all over the place, the blonde walks to their closet to grab a clean set of clothes. She notices that Larry wasn’t in bed, though she would assume that he was checking on Katie and Matthew, much like he usually did. Ally dresses quietly, without much thought put into her outfit as she stares blankly at the floor.
