Langston looked up at her father, eyes filled with pain. Her lip quivered as the healers came near to her with needles and potions and since it was freaking her out, she avoided them, averting her gaze back to her father, eyeing him over the crowd that was now swarming in her hospital room. Arthur stepped closer to the bed and held her hand as he stood just in front of a healer who was working on getting an I.V in her other hand, which Molly was holding on the other side. Langston wanted to say something to her father or mother...She wanted to beg them to tell her what had happened; what was wrong, but she didn't have the voice, nor the strength too, so she laid there, looking at them each at different points in time, and hoping all of her emotions were conveyed ine ach stare the three of them shared. Then, when the healers had pushed four potions down her throat, changed her I.V, and taken blood, she was left alone, only with her parents. Still, she wished to ask them the lingering question...Will I be okay? But now, all she felt was drowsiness...(She figured it had to do with one of the potions, seeing as her parents eyes filled with love and soothing as they rubbed her hair back, and whispered sweet nothings to her gently as she was lulled to closer her eyes, but not sleep. Keeping her mind in darkness, she asked quietly, glad she couldn't see their honest reaction, "What do they think is wrong with me?" Arthur took in a deep breath, and had turned to Molly for her approval to tell his daughter the truth, but he couln't read Molly's eyes quickly, and it took him a moment to decipher what her look meant as she stared at him intently. Then, he realized it...She hadn't given him a deifnite answer at all..For she was still finding it hard to believe herself..And now, he knew, he had to tell his little girl...he couldn't keep her in the dark especially with something that was happening to her. Her eyes opened, seeing as she'd gotten no answer and she was becoming worried. She opened her eyes to her father's loving, gentle blue orbs filling with tears and he wiped at them angrily, noticing she was staring at him.

"Dad, just say it...Please? You can't do this to me! I need to know too!" She tried glaring at him but failed miserably and he smield slightly, holding her hand tight, seemingly never wanting to let go.

"Do you remember how you got here?" Langston at first thought it was a stupid question, but then she thought back and realized that no, she didn't know how she got to St. Mungos.

"No, Dad...Why?" Arthur nodded knowingly, yet his eyes showed he was somewhat afraid of going any further into this life changing conversation that he was hoping his daughter would never have to hear.

"That's because on the way here you totally spcaed out....You were out cold the second you got here, and it took them awhile to stabalize you, love...Your heartrate was down incredibly...I was with you when you woke once, don't you remember?"

"No, why what did I say?"
"You were still having pain, and you told me you were thirsty...You were thirsty because your heart was pumping so fast and you were gasping because the potions they gave you interacted with them....They checked the sound and rythym of your heart, Langston...and they heard a murmur...You're always so dizzy and in so much pain because the blood rushes through too fast and too much....They have to do surgery, Langgo...And they have to do it soon. The hole is so big...Since you didn't tell us sooner, it had time to grow, and if you don't get the operation now it could cause you not only serious damage in the future...if you survive...but it would make for a life threatening situation now." Langston stared at her father for a moment, and Molly came to sit beside her and embrace her, as did Arthur, and they held her tight as she sobbed and mumbled: "I'm sorries." Over and over...

Arthur rubbed her back soothingly and Molly ran her fingers through her hair as they cradled her. She would always be their baby, no matter how adult she wanted to be treated...and at the moment, she needn't know anymore.
