Thank you so much for all the reviews! I am glad you all are liking my story! I have chapter 8 almost done! It has been really hectic around here!

Please read and review.

Joey entered his little 5 year old girl's hospital room a little nervously. He had bought a teddy bear in the gift shop for his little girl. Little Emily was laying in the bed, her right leg and left arm in a cast. She had bruises on her face and arms, giving her a colorful look. She looked up, her face brightening when she saw her daddy.

"Daddy! Daddy!" the little girl said excitedly, her arms outstretched.

"I'm here princess. How are you feeling?" he said as went over as sat on the edge of her bed. She wrapped her good arm around her daddy's neck. Joey handed her the teddy bear.

"My arm and leg hurts, and my head, but I'm okay daddy. How's mommy? She hasn't come to see me yet." Joey noticed his little girl had tears in her blue eyes as she squeezed her new teddy bear.

"Mommy is sick and the doctors are doing all they can to make her better. She should be feeling better soon."

"I hope so daddy. I don't like it when you or mommy are sick," the little girl said, laying her head back on her pillow.

"I know sweetheart. I know. Princess, you're going to have to stay here tonight. The doctors want to make sure your head is okay. I'll stay here with you,'" Joey promised, leaning over and kissing his daughter on the forehead.

"Thank you daddy. I feel safe with you."

Joey's heart skipped a beat as his little girl snuggled next to her daddy and fell asleep with her teddy in her arms. Soon Joey fell asleep, his little girl still snuggled next to him, his arm tightly around her.

That was how the doctor found them an hour later, father and daughter snuggled and asleep. The doctor walked over and woke Joey up. Joey looked around for a moment, not sure what was going on. He finally rested his gaze on the doctor.

"Mr. Parker. Your wife is out of surgery. She is going to be fine. You can go see her if you want to."

"Oh, thank you doctor. I will as soon as my daughter wakes up. I don't want to leave her until she wakes up," Joey said, shifting to get in a better position.

"Anytime. If you need anything, let me know," the doctor said, turning and leaving the room.

Joey sat for a moment, taking everything in. Before falling back to sleep again, he sent up a silent prayer of thanksgiving that his wife and daughter were going to be okay.
