~ A Father's Nightmare ~
"Oh, Chris..."
Fresh tears streamed down Robert "Robbie" Scott's face as he gently squeezed his son's hand.
He had spent several hours just sitting next to the young man's hospital bed, hoping for him to finally open his eyes. But there was still no sign of it going to happen.
Chris had fallen into a coma. There had been an accident at work, leaving him with a terrible head injury. When the ambulance had arrived at the hospital, chances had been very high that he wouldn't make it, but the doctors and nurses had done everything in their power and had managed to stabilize him.
Robbie closed his eyes, wiping away the tears with his wrist, and let out a deep sigh. It was every parent's worst nightmare to lose their child and he had been so close to it becoming his reality. A reality he wouldn't be able to live in. And the danger wasn't over yet.
Silently, Robbie listened to the steady beeping of the monitors, showing him that Chris was still alive and breathing. If the pace would change only the slightest bit, he was ready to call for a doctor. He wouldn't leave his wee lad alone.
"Robbie?"
A soft voice coming from the door caught the Scotsman's attention and he opened his eyes and glanced over his shoulder to see who had stepped into the room.
A weak smile pulled at the corner of his lips. Of course it could only be one person.
"Leah..."
The nurse was standing in the doorway, two cups in her hands. She gave her boyfriend a sympathetic look as she made her way over to the free chair next to him and sat down.
"Here. I thought that you could use a cup of tea."
She carefully handed Robbie one of the cups and he took it from her with a grateful nod.
"Aye. Thanks, mo chridhe."
His eyes wandered back to his unconcious son and the smile he had given Leah quickly faded.
"I still cannae believe it," he whispered, new tears filling his eyes. He looked towards the ceiling, trying to blink them away.
"I know, Robbie. I can't even imagine how hard this is for you, but... I'm here for you."
Leah grabbed his arm and gave it a squeeze, hoping to somehow be able to spend her love some comfort.
And she would never understand just how much it really meant to Robbie to have her at his side. She was the light he had searched for for so long. She was everything he could have hoped to find after his first wife had left him and Chris behind. Even though it had taken years for them to meet, he was so grateful to have her at his side these days.
And therefore he could be honest with her.
"I'm," his voice broke and he had to clear his throat to start again. "I'm so scared, Leah."
His voice was trembling and he kept his eyes fixed on Chris as he spoke out the truth.
"I'm so scared that I'll lose him. I'm scared that he'll never open his eyes again. The thought of never hearing his voice again, never getting a chance to talk him again, scares me to death."
His rambling went on and on and only when Leah's arms wrapped around him did the Scotsman finally stop talking.
"Shh, I know. I know that this is scary for you. I can see how much it hurts you. But you can't give up hope, sweetie. Chris needs you. He needs you to talk to him and tell him that everything's going to be just fine. He needs you to tell him that he has to be a fighter."
Robbie's eyes stared at his son's face as he listened to all the things Leah told him. She was right. His boy needed him. He needed a strong father who was only hoping for the best possible outcome of the situation.
"He... he will make it. Ye'll make it, Chris."
Chris Scott would open his eyes. Maybe it would take hours or days, but Robbie was sure that his son would wake up. And he'd be there when it happened. Just like Leah would. Her light would shine for both of them.

I find it so funny that conservatives are just now freaking out about Barbie being "woke" because of the movie casting a trans Barbie and other queer actors, saying they're "forgetting their target audience of families and children".
Barbie has been "woke feminist" for years.
LGBTQ+ representation belongs in all movies, including family films.
Barbie isn't even a kids movie, it's rated PG-13 and there is one child in the main cast. Greta Gerwig made a Barbie movie for adults who remember playing with Barbie. The kids can go watch Barbie of Swan Lake.

interesting observation i've made, [also an observation i've made by consistencies in astrology but there's people who tried to shade me and say that consistencies is not involved in astrology when that is literally what astrology is about].
the observation is that whenever someone who is pale-skinned/white or just have coloured eyes; and they end up getting intense blue eyes, there is usually something plutonic/scorpio going on in their chart. [moon, sun and asc aspects important in this].
my MANY examples list
adriana lima has moon conj pluto and her sun trine pluto, ian somerhalder is a scorpio venus, scorpio dominant and pluto dominant and we have, katy perry is a scorpio sun, moon and ascendant, scorpio and pluto dominant.
anna speckhart the reason why i made this post, i saw a video of her and i was like she definitely has to be a scorpio placement and i searched and found out she's a scorpio sun and mars, scott van der sluis [love island], i remember him being either a scorpio venus/mars? and margot robbie is a scorpio moon, is scorpio dominant and pluto dominant.
angelina jolie has moon opposite pluto, jared leto has sun square pluto, pluto trine the ascendant and olivia wilde is a scorpio mars and scorpio dominant.
zooey deschanel is a scorpio dominant, wentworth miller has his sun aspecting pluto and taylor swift is a scorpio ascendant, scorpio dominant and pluto dominant.
