Epilogue

John Hopkins Hospital founded 1889, in Baltimore Maryland, in which there is a General Psychiatry Inpatient Unit. If interested there is a description of the kind of care/treatment is the on the website. There is another section of John Hopkins Hospital, The Bayview Medical Section was not opened until 1965.

But for the purpose of this fanfiction John Hopkins Hospital is being used.

Max Parrish signed the necessary paperwork, to keep Laura in the hospital in Los Angeles for ten days. Laura was also assigned an obgyn, to insure her pregnancy was not affected, as the need of medication maybe necessary.

Laura's first response to her new surroundings was expected. It had been explained that it was for her own mental health that she spend the next ten days in the hospital. She insisted that Max Parrish had no right to sign any paper work concerning her health or that of the child she was carrying She kept insisting that her fiancée Perry Mason be contacted, to have her released.

Max spent another day talking to Dr. Collins and several colleagues who would be involved in the care of Laura while she was there. He felt it was the best solution for everyone involved. He felt the need to contact Kevin Williams and Caroline Stoddard, so they would know what was happening. He asked Dr. Collins to speak with the Masons and let them know the situation. He could only hope that if ever their paths were to cross again, this point in time would be a distant memory.

After several conversations with Dr. Collins, Hamilton Burger, Arthur Tragg, Judge Brooker, Max Parrish and Perry Mason, there were several things to be considered to keep Laura out of jail, from her losing her ability to practice law (disbarred).

Laura, would be transferred to John Hopkins Hospital, in Maryland, remaining under confined psychiatric care for as least the duration of her pregnancy. Max had planned to make arrangements for the child's care regardless of Laura's ability to help raise the child.

With the help of Dr. Collins, he was put in contact with a doctor at John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. He would fly back to DC to take speak with his law firm bosses, he needed to ensure he wanted to continue working for them. But he needed to get his wife settled into a hospital, where she could get the care she needed. Max was willing to answer any questions they may have had to ask. But they didn't and were very understanding to his situation.

Laura Parrish will recover, eventually talking through her obsession regarding Perry Mason. It had taken time for her to accept the fact the whole situation was only in her mind. Perry Mason was a powerful, well known attorney, who had come to the university as a guest lecturer. He had treated her as he did any of his employees. She had accepted the fact that he was really in love with his wife, that she and their children were very important to him.

Laura had accepted the fact that the one night they ended up in bed together was because he was drunk and she tried to make more of the situation than there really was.

Laura and Max together talked about what had happened in their own marriage. That she was pregnant with Max's child and they needed to work on putting their marriage back together. They even talked about moving out of the DC area to start their own law practice or at least join the same firm in Virginia or perhaps move up to New England.

Laura would continue to psychiatric treatment, weekly for an undetermined time, once released from the hospital. The restraining order would remain in place against her. Although she had not been charged, Laura still faced being named as the person who hired someone to cause another person bodily harm, remained on the books. No contact with the Mason family, nor would she be permitted in the state of California. The travel ban maybe amended, with prior travel arrangements made, then only by plane.

Doctors at John Hopkins, District Attorneys and Police Departments in both Maryland, and Washington, D.C., were also made aware of these restrictions. The discussion of having her check in on a regular basis with the DA's office was put on hold, until after her release from the hospital.

The understanding of the restrictions and Laura's hospital treatment was typed up, Perry was the only one who didn't take a copy. He didn't want any more reminders of the bad stretch in his marriage around.

When finally Laura was fully recovered, she will return home next to Max, to raise her daughter together and return to work as a lawyer next to Max, as they dreamed a long time ago.
