I was on the plane headed home to Canada hoping my father was going to be alright. Why did everything bad have to happen to me? Everything was going so good but now it was a struggle again to hide my emotions and be strong for my mother and sister. When I landed I caught the first cab straight to a hotel and I caught another one to the hospital. I ran up the stairs and down the hallways and I saw my mother holding her head sitting outside my fathers hospital room. When she saw me her emotions came flooding through and she quickly held onto me.
"How is he?" I asked softly.
"He is resting, he keeps asking about you" said my mother.
I nodded and I walked into the dark hospital room. I saw all kinds of tubes and heart monitors hooked up to my father. This was probably how Aaron felt when I was injured. I just looked at my father and I slowly grabbed his hand. When I felt him squeeze he slowly opened his eyes and smiled at me.
"Hey there is my princess" said my father weakly.
"Daddy, how are you?" I asked.
The emotions were trying to come to me but I was holding them back. I had to be strong for my father and I knew I could not show weakness. He struggled to get words out and I just squeezed his hands.
"Sleep daddy I will not go anywhere" I said softly.
He just smiled and nodded and soon he was sleeping peacefully. I slowly walked out of the room and I saw my mother was asleep as well. I had to call Aaron and tell him I was home and I would be here awhile. When I heard the first ring go off I heard my husbands voice and he was worried.
"Are you alright?" asked Aaron.
"I should be... I won't know more about him till later on. He is resting right now. There is so many tubes connecting to him. Listen Aaron I now realize what I put you and Jack through when I get injured and I am sorry, I am sorry, I am so sorry"
I then began to burst out in tears and I heard Aaron's voice trying to calm me down. He then told me he was coming to see me but I tried to tell him not to. I then saw my sister slowly walking towards the two of us and I looked at her. When she saw me she broke down in tears and I told Aaron I had to leave. She quickly grabbed me and cried in my arms and I held onto her. I wiped away the tears that were on my cheeks and the strength came back. Someone had to be strong and that someone was going to have to be me. She cried in my arms just like all the other times. My mother and father got a divorce when she was little. She was nine years old when they separated and yet she did not show emotion did not blame herself she barely knew what was happening but she knew something bad happened. So I raised her. I was only twenty two when I claimed her as my own. I began to raise her when she was born and my mother and father decided I was old enough to baby sit as they called it. Several times my sister called me her mom but I corrected it and I told my parents after I was fed up with having to raise her. She was not my own but my parental instincts set in and I knew I had to whether or not I liked it. I soon calmed her down and she told me she was sorry for yelling at me and she was sorry for hating me so much. We got into an argument while I was talking with her on the phone and she hung up on me. She wanted to come and live with Aaron and I but I told her school was first and she told me she hated me for everything and wished I never raised her. She blamed me for everything and she wanted to die because no one loved her. I tried to talk with her but she just hung up and I was angry which fumed the argument I had with Jack.
I slowly opened my eyes when I heard a nurse walk by and I saw the sunlight in my fathers bedroom. I slowly walked in after getting my sister to sleep on my mother and when I walked in I saw my father was awake and looking out the window. He still looked sick but he just gave me a smile. I then walked in further and I saw Aaron was standing against the wall drinking a cup of coffee while looking out the window as well.
"Aaron what are you doing here?" I asked.
"I came to make sure you didn't need help" he said.
I just smiled when he walked over to me and held onto me. I could feel his warmth surround me and I felt safe and happy. I could smell the cologne I bought for him awhile ago and I just smiled. My father gave me a smile as well and he looked at Aaron.
"You married a strong man, my princess" said my father.
"Because I knew she was a strong woman" said Aaron.
I just smiled at them and I heard my mother walk into the room. She smiled at me and when she saw my father awake she began to cry. He just held out his arm and she walked right into his embrace. He tried to calm her down and she tried to stop the tears. I then walked over to my sister and I woke her up.
"Hey baby girl, come see dad" I said softly.
She just nodded and rubbed her eyes a little. She was trying to get up but I knew for a fact she was not a morning person. She never was even when she was a child. Soon laughter came from our room and I saw nurses and doctors were checking up on us and making sure my father would be alright. I was holding onto Aaron the entire time he was smiling and enjoying the happy time with my family. I then remembered his late wife and how he would always visit her sister and make sure she was alright.
"Where is Jack?" I asked.
"Staying with his aunty, he wants you to call him when you have the chance. He is worried about you too" said Aaron.
I just smiled at him and suddenly both of our phones rang. I saw the number was work and my family just looked at me. I then looked at Aaron and Garcia wanted to know if we were going to be on the case. I looked at Aaron and I just smiled at him.
"You go, I will be fine. I am just going to stay for a couple more days. Call me if you need me" I said softly.
"Are you sure I can stay" he said.
I just smiled and he gave me the longest kiss I ever gotten from him and he walked out of the room and began to talk about the recent case that our team got. I knew I should be there but my family was first and they knew I wanted to stay.
