Chapter 3

Ana's POV

Christian has locked himself away in his office and left me to deal with our daughter.

I look at her and am worried. She looks ill and is shaking. I hope Grace is going to get here soon.

"Would you like a hot drink darling?"

Any anger I had toward her has now gone as I watch her shaking.

"No thanks".

We sit there in silence and I quickly type her symptoms into Google. It just brings stuff up about the flu and other illness's.

I type '24 hours without drugs' into the search bar. I'm pretty sure this has something to do with the drugs she has been taking.

Sure enough it brings up the symptoms she has and a whole load of other ones too, like vomiting, nausea, nightmares, palpitations, muscle tension and tremors. It also has a load others but they sound way to serious for me to even contemplate right now.

Grace turns up 30 minutes later and is clearly shocked by the look of Phoebe. She asks me if we can talk in private a moment.

I take her into the library.

"Ana, by the looks of her she needs to be in hospital. What on earth happened?"

"She's been taking drugs Grace" I almost sob.

Grace gives me a hug and says she is going to phone the hospital and tell them that she is coming in.

I go and tell Christian what is happening, He will want to be with her.

The three of us meet in the kitchen and tell Phoebe what's happening together. She doesn't even put up an argument.

Me and Grace take Phoebe to the hospital in Grace's car and Christian follows behind with Taylor.

When we got to the hospital Grace rushed ahead, I guessed it was to tell the doctors that we are here.

I gather Phoebe in my arms and am shocked at how light she is. I carry her into the hospital and Grace meets me with a wheelchair. I sit Phoebe down in it and Grace rushes her up to the peadiatric ward. I know that its down to Grace working here that we get to by pass the emergency room.

A doctor meets us at the door as we get up to the ward.

"Grace, I assume this is Phoebe?".

Grace nods.

"Right lets get her into a private room and I'll check her over".

I take the wheelchair from Grace and wheel Phoebe into the hospital room. Christian arrives just as I'm lifting Phoebe into the bed.

The doctor checks her heart beat and blood pressure and asks us what has been going on.

Christian explains about the drugs and Dr Looter, as we now know him as, nods.

"I'm not surprised that she's in this state if she has been taking that cocktail of drugs" the Dr says. "I'm going to get the nurse to come in and set a drip up in Phoebe's arm for the dehydration, if I could have a chat with you both in private that would be great" he says to me and Christian.

We wait for the doctor to come back and both of us follow him into a private room across the hall.

"Mr and Mrs Grey, Phoebe has begun having withdrawals from the drugs she has been taking, as I am sure you are aware. Due to the amount of drugs that her body is used to it is likely to go on for sometime. I want to keep her at the hospital until she has put on a bit of weight and is hydrated. I will also prescribe her some medication to help with the withdrawal symptoms that she will experience and medication to help with the cravings she will soon begin having. I am going to recommend that she start a course of Halesapam 50mg which is for the alcohol withdrawals, 100mg of Tenormin and 20mg of Inderel both of which are for the drug withdrawals, Valium to help her body relax and help her sleep when she needs it. I also want her to be put on Subatex but that won't be able to be started until she has left the withdrawal stage".

"How long will she be having these withdrawals" Christian asks.

"Its difficult to say at the moment, they could last from a few days up to a few weeks".

Me and Christian get back to Phoebe as soon as Dr Looter is done talking to us. He told us that she will be having her medication soon and will fall asleep then so we should say our goodbyes.

I tried to say I wasn't leaving her but he said that for the first night he wanted to have Phoebe under observation which was easier to do if there weren't any visits, he did say that I could stay with her tomorrow though.

Phoebe is laying in the hospital bed looking very sorry for herself when we get back.

We get her settled down for the evening after the nurse gives her the medication.

"Alright sweetheart, we're going to leave now but we'll be back in the morning" I tell her and kiss her forehead. Christian gave her a quick kiss too and then we left.

The drive home was a long one. I hated leaving my baby girl in that hospital but knew that she was in the right place.
