Work Text:
Roger chews on his pen as he watches Rory on the climbing dome. He always intends to work on songs while they’re at the playground, but lately all his attention is on his hyper four-year-old son, but he’s still not able to get there fast enough when Rory loses his footing and falls. Fortunately, Rory wasn’t very high up, but Roger thinks his arm is at a funny angle and Rory’s cries of anguish make him suspect that his little boy has a broken arm.
A quick Uber ride to the hospital and a some x-rays later, Roger’s fears are confirmed. Rory broke is arm, but the doctor assures him that it’s a clean break, which will heal faster. Once his arm is in a cast, Rory’s cries have lessened to sniffles and Roger hugs his son tightly.
“How about we get some ice cream and then visit mommy at work. Sound good, buddy?” Roger asks him.
“Okay!” Rory says brightly, the trauma from earlier currently forgotten.
