Chapter 4

Vera leaves the hospital happy that Bridget would be returning she really thought the women needed her the male external psychologist had tried to help all he could but he was only there Tuesdays and also Vera felt like they opened up more to Bridget. It may have been because she was a woman.

Bridget held Franky hand drinking to coffee that had been given to her by Vera. Franky started asking Bridget some questions about herself to try and pass time. It was now 7pm and Franky knew Bridget wouldn't stay with her all night but she was wrong Bridget was going to stay till she was discharged if Franky let her. 'So you didn't answer my question when was your first time with a woman?' followed by 'Is it true your not in love with me?' 'What happens when I leave Wentworth?'

Bridget looks at Franky 'what's with all the questions, my first time with a woman my first time with anyone I was 18 and studying psychology at university in Brisbane. I am in love with you and anything you want to happen after you leave Wentworth.'

Franky looks at Bridget love and lust in her eyes 'Firstly, I'm in love with you too, I want lots of things to happen Bridget I'm a little incapacitated at the moment'

Bridget looks at her 'We have all the time in the world after you leave Wentworth, we have no need to rush making love to each other and if you feel up to it next week I will be there if not that's ok too but know I'm going to be here if you need me'

Franky eyes are brimming with tears she hadn't realised the extent of Bridget's love for her. She had seen small things about Bridget crossing her legs when Franky came near or the way she smiles when Franky came into a room. Like when she barged in the group therapy session and requested to speak to boomer.

Franky winced in pain and Bridget shot out of her seat to make sure she was ok. After calling for the nurse again, the nurse comes in a looks at Franky notes making sure of medications, pain chart and OP's are up to date.

Bridget talks 'she obviously in discomfort can't you do anything or give her something for it'

The nurse says 'she had some pain medication about an hour ago I can see if there is anything to help with the discomfort and to help her sleep.'

Bridget thanks the nurse it wasn't her fault Franky was in pain but to her she could help and she wasn't helping Franky as much as Bridget would have liked. The nurse left the room returning minutes later with some tablets. 'These might make you sleepy or drowsy. But they should help with the pain too'

Bridget silently thanks the nurse as she give the tablets to Franky. Franky takes the tablets and within an hour she's asleep. Bridget holds her hand and goes to sleep in the chair besides her bed smiling.

The Next morning, Franky wakes up first about 7am she has had a good sleep, Bridget is in the chair next to her bed asleep and still holding her hand. She realises this woman really cares about her, No woman would have slept on a hospital chair instead of going home to a comfy bed in probably a nice neighbourhood but for concern or love.

Franky move her hand to lightly brush her fingers on Bridget's cheek, then Bridget wakes up with a smile, Franky smiling. The medication and pain must be abit better this morning, Bridget thinks to herself. 'So how you feeling today Franky'

Franky smiles and laughs 'I'm as good as new'

Bridget smiles 'Good and we both had a good sleep I see.'

4 hours later

Franky is discharged back to Wentworth and Bridget goes home for the first time in more than 24 hours. They are both counting down the days till franky is finally released Bridget had been doing it for a few weeks now in 6 days. Franky would be getting out and hopefully never returning.

6 days later

9am

Vera takes Franky to the strip search room. Franky had always wondered why they strip search people on there way out what on earth would anyone want to steal from this place. But she agrees to the strip search as always there was nothing and she got into her clothes, the ones she had arrived in she didnt think much of them now but at one time she would have done. As she gets taken out passed the woman in the yard she says goodbye to Liz, Boomer and even Bea smith. She cant help but start crying it was the happiest and also the most sad day of her life

'FUCK THIS PLACE!' she shouts on her last few steps to freedom. All the woman start cheering and shouting Franky name.

The last gate opens she walks though it staying her last goodbye to Will, and walks across the car park spinning around looking back at what had been her home for the last 4 years. As she turned around she heard a car horn. It was Bridget Westfall in her black BMW she got out of the car smiling finally they had got there perfect ending but also it was the beginning of there life together.

Franky walks up to her 'come here.'

They pull each other into a kiss right there in the car park. Franky has her hands on Bridget's ass. Franky looks at the car 'You didnt disappoint did you, I get, my hot girl in a hot car in the end'

'Of course you do Franky. Get in its a bit of a drive back. Just sit back and enjoy being out on this beautiful morning'

Franky get in not realising the address her parole officer gave her is Bridget's address. She looks at it 'can you drop me of at this place later it probably a halfway house or something'

'We are going to there now.'

Franky looks at Bridget disappointed 'oh okay.'

Bridget realises this straight away, 'It's my address Franky. We are going home.'

Franky smiles 'so it is my home to is it?'

Bridget smiles 'Yes of course. Now relax and we will be back in less than half an hour'
