Chapter 10
(Grace POV)
Sitting next to my son while he is still unconscious, has made me feel like I have aged more in this one day, than my entire life. My thoughts are so scattered, I don't know which thought to dwell on. I finally convinced most of the family, but some refused, to go home and return tomorrow. I don't understand how I, a doctor and his mother, could not see the warning signs. I feel like a disappointment in everything I have ever done. Could my family ever forgive me? I do not deserve their forgiveness. If I would have paid more attention, my daughter wouldn't be out there running away from us due to my son's physical encounter.
Just imagining everything Ana had to endure, breaks my heart. It feels that it is not repairable. I am hoping we find Ana soon. I hope she can forgive my son. What if they cannot find her? Do I blame her for running away? The answer is no; she did the right thing, even kicking his ass. The way Taylor described Ana, was remarkable. I knew Ana was brave and strong headed. I just never knew it was to that instinct. She surprises us all.
Kate spoke to me before she left. I was terrified how this conversation would end up. Kate and Christian have never got along. After this scenario, I am sure it will never happen now. Kate had stormed off after we explained what had occurred at their house. She was beyond livid with Christine. I could not blame her for all the anger she had towards my son. Ana and Kate are practically sisters. I felt sorry for my son Elliot. He was being pulled in every direction. He loves Christian with all his heart, but he couldn't stop the disappointment he felt towards him. Elliot loves Ana with all his heart as well. He admires Ana for giving our family a side of Christian we have never experienced in our life time. We all admire Ana for that. She gave me my son that I knew was hidden inside.
Elliot was speaking with Kate for couple of hours, but it felt like years. I saw my son and Kate returning he had his arm around her and wiping her tears away. Who would have thought having one son who I know was a womanizer and the other who we that was gay, be the most affectionate men. The way these two women have them wrapped around their finger is just hilarious. I guess I understand, because their father is in the same situation.
I notice Taylor barking orders over the phone. I just realize I haven't seen Sawyer for some time now. He must be following Taylor's orders and trying to locate Ana. Between those two, I know Taylor will know how to find her. Those two have been a blessing in disguise. The way they protect my family at any cost, is astonishing and I we are extremely blessed having them in our life.
Mia finally went home with Ethan. I still cannot believe these three miracles that have joined our family all came together in one package. The positive impact they have on our children, is just remarkable. My poor daughter has been taking the news of Christian's health the hardest. Christian and Mia have always been close, the patients he only holds for his sister is also a miracle.
I only admit to myself of course, when we first brought Mia home, I was extremely worried on Christian's reaction towards her. He was such a troubled teenager at the time, I wasn't so sure if this was a good idea. I remember when he saw her for the first time; he was just staring at her not realizing I was watching him the entire time. I just didn't know what to expect with his moods changing every thirty seconds it seemed. I see him reach for her hand that she is waving around and then he gets the largest smile I have ever seen on a person's face. He smiled the whole time he held her hand and that was the same week he starting speaking again. At that moment in my life, I knew that I had the best three children a parent could ask for.
Why are these results from his cat scan taking such a long time? Do they not realize I know exactly how long results take? I am giving them no more than an hour, or I am getting them myself. I am usually a very patient person, but with having my son just lying here, I can no longer find that trait in me. I am aware these situations can be very serious, even deadly in a short period of time. I refuse to think that way and I am determined to make my son back to himself again. That is it, I can no longer wait. If you want something done right; do it yourself. I give my son a kiss and turn around to get these results myself. I stand there frozen not able to move or say a word. I see Ana just standing there with tears in her eyes looking at her husband.
