Big Brother visits Mason

Big Brother, Corben, came to visit Mason Kate at the hospital. He brought her a pink & girly balloon and he also brought himself a football balloon! His eyes were so big looking at her and admiring her!!
He is being really sweet with her and constantly wanting to make sure she is alright.
