Three

Chapter three - Paper work

Tommy woke up, feeling all the pain rush back to him. He shot up in pain and grabbed his stomach, hoping the tension would help, it did not. Instead more pain shot up his body and he laid back in bed, curled up on himself, hoping the pain would leave.

"Oh! Hey.. kid? You can't be sitting like that" a nurse rushed over, grabbing Tommy's arms to pull him back. Tommy tried to fight and keep curled up, but the nurse was stronger than him and he was in too much pain to continue. The position she left Tommy in hurt even more but when he tried to position himself more comfortable she scolded him and moved him back.

He whined at the rising pain in his torso and instead decided to do the dumb decision of standing up. He swung his legs over the bed and quickly stood to avoid any more pain than he had to. Tommy could feel a ringing in his ears and his whole body felt light and fuzzy now that he was standing.

Tommy felt something rest in his shoulder but he couldn't see anything. His vision was blurred and dim, making it hard to see anything around him. He blinked a few times, hoping to fix his vision, but instead his body went weak and he fell forward expecting to hit the ground.

Philza watched the young blonde get to his feet. He could see the unsteady sway and the boys cloudy eyes staring lazily at the floor in front of him. Something wasn't right. He walked over to Tommy, placing a hand on his shoulder. The boy looked at his hand, not really acknowledging it, just staring at it.

Philza was about to say something to the boy, but when he opened his mouth, the boy closed his eyes and fell forward. "Shit" Philza cursed falling to his knees to catch the boy before he could hit the ground. Phil held the boy in his arms, feeling a warm feeling in his heart. A feeling he got when he got hugs from Techno or Wilbur out of no where. A happy, fatherly feeling.

"Oh! I'm so sorry" the nurse from before perked up seeing Tommy in Phil's arms. "Does he have to stay here?" Phil asked, getting to his feet and wrapping Tommy's legs around his waist so he could still hold the boy close to him. "Well... not particularly in this room, as long as he gets rest and is in his legal guardian's watch. Which is currently the orphanage-" she walked over to Phil, with grabby hands trying to take the boy away. Knowing Phil wasn't the guardian over the boy.

"I'm actually fostering him!" Philza said quickly, stepping backwards so she couldn't grab the boy. "Well I haven't gotten any paperwork-"
"I'll get it for you!" Philza said quickly turning around and walking over to his sons. Ranboo was fast asleep in Techno's lap, while Tubbo was asleep in Wilbur's arms, leaning against his chest.

"Boys" he whispered, checking over his shoulder and seeing the women tapping her foot, waiting for so called papers. Wilbur and Technoblade looked at the women and up at their father. "What did you do." They asked. "We need to go sign the foster papers or I need to hand Tommy over" Philza mumbled under his breath, realising how stupid it sounded once he said it out loud. The boys snickered and got to their feet, holding the younger ones comfortably in their arms.

The three walked out of the infirmary and towards Lily's office, hoping she had now returned and wasn't wondering where they had run off to.

"Oh thank the heavens..." she sighed seeing the family of three walk in. "Oh! I'm so sorry about them" she stood up quickly, brushing herself off and walking over to them. She got to Wilbur and reached out to grab Tubbo, but Wilbur turned away to avoid her hands. "Uh actually, we were going to foster them" Phil spoke up when he saw Lily going to grab the boy again. "Oh... right.. let me get the paperwork" she said, a small fake grin covering her face.

When she pulled out the paperwork, Philza place Tommy onto his hip, holding him in place while he signed the papers. Once completed, Lily walked upstairs, having the family follow them to the boys room.

"A rule we have here is to always have your bags packed? It's for safety reasons. So the boys bags should be under their beds, ready to go" she explained pointing to the three run down beds spaced out in the room. Lily let the family pack up and left the room.

"Morning Tub" Wilbur looked down at the brunet who was rubbing his eyes, this gained the rest of the family's attention. "Tub?" He asked confused, looking up at the man who was holding him. "Nickname"
"Oh... alright!" Tubbo smiled and Wilbur put him on the floor. "Why... why are we in our room?" Tubbo looked around confused. Instantly he began to think the family were leaving them, after what he told Wilbur they mustn't want the brothers. "Well um... we've actually fostered you three" Tubbo's eyes lit up, they were being fostered?

Tubbo ran to Wilbur's leg, butting the mans leg with his head before hugging it better. "Really!?" He looked up at Wilbur with wide eyes, hoping this wasn't some sort of joke. "Of course! We just need to pack your things" Tubbo jumped to work, pulling out his and his brothers bags, making sure everything's was there including toiletries. "What about this?" Wilbur asked, picking up a small cow plush. "Thats Tommy's, he'd want it" Tubbo said taking it and putting it in the bag.

After a long enough packing session, they were all at the car. "There's the not enough seats." Techno said. "Yeah no shit captain obvious" Wilbur replied. The two brothers shared a look. "I'm not doing it" Wilbur stated. "Well I'm not doing it either" Techno copied.

Meanwhile, while the boys were arguing, Phil was bucking the boys into their seats. Tubbo behind the drivers seat, Ranboo in the middle and Tommy behind the passenger seat. "What are they doing?" Tubbo asked Phil after he was buckled in. Philza sighed. "Don't worry about it" he smiled and closed the car door.

"Boys, seriously?" He asked walking over to his older sons. "Yes really! He wants me to sit in the trunk!" Techno argued. "Well it's not a shit idea, how else are we going to get home? I'm not sitting on anyone's lap" Wilbur huffed, crossing his arms. "Wilbur, techno was in the trunk last time. You're in the trunk" Wilbur groaned, dramatically throwing his arms around. "Techno you're driving"
"Wait really?" Techno perked up. "Yeah I'm tired" Techno smirked and jumping into the drivers seat, while Philza helped Wilbur hide in the cars trunk.

"I hate this" Wilbur huffed. "I know you do" Philza smiled and shut the trunk.

He walked over to the passenger seat and got in. Techno was adjusting the mirrors and seat so everything would work safely for him. "Ready?" Philza turned around to face Tubbo. He nodded excitedly and turned to look out the window again. His brothers were still asleep. Tommy was leaned against the window and Ranboo has his neck laid back sitting upright.

Techno started up the car and quickly drove out of the parking lot, getting onto one of the old roads that led to the orphanage. Tubbo watched the trees blur by from the speed they were at, and yet, his brothers were still asleep.

"You ready?" Techno looked at Tubbo through the mirror. Tubbo turned away from the window and found himself looking back at Techno. They were currently on a road with no traffic, no people and no cars surrounding them, it was only them. "For what?" He asked. "Techno don't" Phil sternly said towards Techno, grabbing a handle at the top of the car door. Tubbo copied him and held onto the handle, watching as Techno smirked in the window and tightened his grip on the wheel.

"TechnOOO!" Phil screamed as Techno spun the wheel. The car abruptly turned the way the wheel did, sending Ranboo into Tommy's shoulder. Somehow, both boys stayed dead asleep. A few more turns and the car came to a stop and Tubbo looked outside the car, seeing white smoke fill the air, black trails covering the way the wheels had gone. "Techno!" Phil scolded. "Tubbo are you alright?- WILBUR'S IN THE BACK!" he yelled coming to a realisation. Tubbo's ears flattened to his head hearing the yelling. Techno only laughed and watched his father jump from his seat and out of the car to open the trunk.

"For real though, are you alright?" Techno turned around in his seat to face the brunet. Tubbo's ears perked up a little, enough to hear Techno. "Huh.. yeah!" He smiled, dropping his ears out of instinct. Tubbo flinched hearing his door open but relaxed seeing Wilbur standing there. "Hey Tub, can I take your seat?" He asked. Tubbo nodded and unbuckled his seatbelt, moving over so he was pressing up against Ranboo. Wilbur sat down and closed the door, making Tubbo now realise Techno and Phil had swapped seats.

Tubbo, wasn't 100% sure what had just happened, but I was fun and silently hoped Philza would turn the car like that.
