Switched At Birth-Ch 4
About half an hour later everybody was sitting in the waiting room, hoping that everything was going good, they looked up when one of the nurses walked over and said, "Jamie is doing good, her vitals are stable and they are still working on her". Derek said, "thank you", the nurse nodded her head and Dave said, "can you tell me how my wife is doing"?, the nurse said, "they are bringing her up from X-ray right now, you can see her in a few minutes", he nodded his head and said, "thank you" as he then watched the nurse walk over to the nurses station.
Hotch said, "I've got calls in to the local police, of course we can't work the case but I'm doing everything in my power to make sure that we find the person that did this and make them pay". Emily intertwined fingers with her husband and said, "Jamies a fighter, she's strong and she's going to be fine", Derek and Penelope looked up at her and weakly smiled and Penelope said, "from your lips to Gods ears my raven haired beauty".
Penelope then laid her head down on Dereks shoulder, he kissed the top of her head and said, "I love you", Penelope looked up and said, "I love you to", he then took her by the hand and said, "she's going to be fine, she's going to be fine". Penelope squeezed his hand and said, "she will be fine, she's stubborn like her daddy", Derek grinned and said, "and she's hard headed like her momma" causing Penelope to nod her head yes in agreement.
A few minutes later the nurse said, "Mr. Rossi"?, Dave said, "yes", she said, "your wife is in room 2 if you would like to go be with her", Dave looked at Derek and said, "would you like to come with me"?, Derek kissed his wife on the lips and then got up and followed Dave toward his moms room. When they walked in and Fran saw Derek she started crying.
Derek hugged her and said, "it's alright momma, it's alright", Fran said, "but she's hurt", Derek said, "none of this is your fault, you did everything you could to protect her". Fran said, "how is she"?, Dave said, "still in surgery Bella", Derek said, "how are you doing"?, Fran said, "fine, hurting in my ribs but I'm fine", Dave said, "sounds like you have some cracked or broken ribs".
Their attention when a doctor walked into the room carrying Frans charts and x-rays, he said, "Mrs. Rossi my name is Charlotte Hedges", Fran said, "please, please call me Fran". Charlotte said, "okay Fran, I have the results of your tests", Dave, Derek and Fran listened carefully as she said, "you have 3 cracked ribs and a sprained wrist".
Fran said, "what about my granddaughter"?, Charlotte said, "they are still in surgery", Derek blew out a deep breath and said, "so momma's going to be okay then"?, Charlotte said, "she will be as good as new in a few weeks, she's just got to take it easy for a while", Dave said, "dont' you worry she's going to be taking it easy, aren't you Bella"?, Fran nodded her head in agreement and said, "yes, I promise".
Now Derek was on one side of Fran and Dave was on the other, they were so glad that she was going to be alright, Dave kissed her on the top of the head and said, "we love you Bella". She said, "I love you both to and baby boy I'm so sorry about what happened to Jamie, I would take her place in a second if I could", Derek said, "momma I know that but you have to know that none of this was your fault, this is all on the sicko that was behind the wheel of the car that hit you".
Fran said, "any idea what happened"?, Dave said, "Aaron is looking into it right now, we can't work the case but that doesn't mean we can't pull every pullable string to make sure they pay for what they did". Meanwhile in the lab Anna was standing there with the lab tech and she said, "are you sure about there results"?, the tech said, "sadly yes, I ran the tests several times".
Anna ran her hand over her head and said, "Jamie is in recovery, I'm on my way out to talk to the family about her prognosis", the tech said, "how are you going to handle this, do you need me to go with you"?, Anna put her hand on the techs shoulder and said, "yes please Marie". Marie nodded her head yes as her and Anna headed out to talk to the family about the news that was discovered, news that could shatter everybody involved, especially Jamie.
