The Girl in the Hospital
Chapter 1- Baby brother & new found leukaemia
Aged 5
"Britt! Come on we've got to go!" Brian Pierce shouted up to his daughter. "I'm here daddy" the small blonde girl
smiled "let's go get you in the car and meet mummy at the hospital" He picked Brittany up and walked quickly to the
car, strapping her in. "Am I going to have a new baby brother today?" Brittany asked when the car had started,
"that's what we're hoping darling, are you excited?" Brian asked. Brittany nodded, "I'm going to be the best big sister
EVER!" It was ten more minutes before they got to the hospital, Brian grabbed Brittany and jogged inside. "Hi, my
wife's having a baby, her name is Elizabeth Pierce" the receptionist smiled. "Room 235". The man thanked her and
jogged once again to the room. When they got there, Brittany wasn't allowed inside the room so she had to sit in the
waiting chairs. "If you need anything, go to the nice woman at the desk okay? We shouldn't be long".
After 20 minutes of waiting, Brittany started to get bored, then, he heard a light cough coming from the room down
the hall. Being the curious child that she is, she went to look who it was that was making the noise. When Brittany got
to the room, the blonde looked in to see a small girl about her age, lying in the bed, clutching on to a piece of tissue.
"Hi" the girl looked up and saw Brittany standing by the door, "hi. Who are you?" The girl asked "I'm Brittany S
Pierce. I heard you coughing so I came to see if you were okay". "I'm fine, thank you". Why are you here?" The small
child asked, "my mummy is having my baby brother. Can I come and sit with you?" Brittany said, "yeah. I'm Santana
Lopez" the blonde sat in the large chair beside her. "That's a really pretty name. Where are your mummy and daddy?"
Santana smiled at the compliment "mummy is getting me some toys from home and daddy works here so he's
checking on all the other children" Santana explained. "Oh, why are you in the hospital?" Brittany wondered out loud
"I'm not very well. I've got something called Leukaemia" Santana replied, struggling with the last word. Suddenly the
blonde's name was being called "I've got to go, get better soon Sanny!"
"Where did you run off to kiddo? You need to tell someone first" Brian smiled "sorry daddy, I made a new friend, I
heard her coughing in her room so I went to see if she was okay" Brittany replied excitedly. "That's nice Britt. You can
tell me and mummy about it later but right now, we've got someone you need to meet". The walked quietly into the
room and saw Elizabeth holding a small baby wrapped in a blanket, "is that my Brother?" Brittany whispered, "It sure
is. Say hi to Thomas". "Hi Tommy, can I hold him mummy?" Elizabeth nodded and handed Thomas to the child. "Hi
Tommy. I'm your big sister, Brittany. You can call me Britty though. I'm gonna love you forever" she kissed her
brothers forehead and passed him to her father.
That night, the pierce family were let home and Brittany went on and on about the girl she had met, hoping she would
meet her again.
