Harry's pleads and good manners were answered.
Bella's eyes flickered open and she smiled at the young boy in front of her.
"Hello Harry," She whispered.
"Bella!" The three girls exclaimed.
"Hello Bell-y." This was Harry's nick name for Bella.
"Harry, if you don't mind, can you please get off me?" Bella asked, feeling the love and the pain of the 4 year old boy on her stomach, that had previously been hit with a ray gun. She tried to sit up.
"No!" Gina stopped her with a caring hand on the shoulder. "You've been discharged far too quickly from this place, you're going to be here for a while, even if I have to keep you here." Gina joked in a serious tone, she smiled but was talking literally when she said even if I have to keep you here.
"I know." Bella whispered, tired already from her short time conscious.
"How're you feeling?" Lilly asked, acting typical mother again, despite being only 11.
"Alright. Achy." Bella answered, while propping herself up on pillows, finding herself out of breathe afterwards and tangled among many wires that were attached to her.
"We should get a Doctor." Tee mentioned.
"Yeah, but, that would just get boring and probably a lot more painful." Bella answered, rubbing her left elbow, which had been previously hit by Mr Smith with her right hand, which was now highly padded.
She then moved her hand to her stomach; what felt like miles of tight bandage wound round her lower body, Bella felt in more pain than should be completely necessary.
Her hand then moved swiftly on to her head; more bandage. Completing a round of the main injuries she was aware she had.
"No, wait, what happened?" Bella was suddenly very confused about how she injured her head, remembering Mr Smith's gun with her elbow, and Root with her stomach but where did the head?
Gina had opened her mouth to explain, then changed her mind.
"Bella, what can you remember?"
"Not much, everything's fuzzy." The three young girls exchanged glances, realising how series this was.
"When's your birthday?" Gina asked simply.
"Err, July, August, um,"
"Bella you can't remember your birthday?" Gina inquired.
"Gina I can't even remember my real parents names." Bella told Gina the truth.
"I'll go get a Doctor," Gina said quickly rushing out the room.
"You remember us, don't you Bella?" Lilly asked.
"Of course I do sweetie." Bella smiled a little.
"Do you remember everyone else?" Carmen asked.
"Some of them. I can't pin point names and faces." Bella explained, not wanting to give them false hope if there was something mentally wrong.
"What about Luke?" Tee asked nervously, her hand not having left Bella's.
"How could I forget him?" Bella smiled trying to lighten the mood. "I think his Mum ran me over." She muttered, none of the littler ones noticed.
Gina came back with a Doctor.
"Bella, Gina tells me you've been forgetting a few things." The optimistic Doctor started.
"Just a few, including who you are." Bella answered sarcastically, receiving a steely glare from Gina.
"Oh, don't worry, we haven't met; my name is Doctor Joey Brown." He introduced, shaking Bella's hand. "Now Gina if you could escort these youngsters home, I need to ask Bella some questions."
In the attic, the Doctor was starting conversation with Mr Smith.
"What do you want to talk about Doctor?" Mr Smith had asked.
"Offering the help you need." The Doctor paused, waiting for Mr Smith to defend or argue but he didn't, the Doctor continued. "You reckon, that the Blathereen are your only way of digging up your brothers and sisters," The Doctor started.
"They aren't the only aliens that can blow that crater to smithereens again." Mr Smith answered calmly.
"What if we could offer you a route that is maybe a little slower but reaches the same outcome and doesn't harm any of the humans." The Doctor suggested.
"Remember your purpose Mr Smith; to keep this planet safe." Sarah Jane reminded.
"Sarah Jane, I literally can't forget, I remember my purpose."
"Then let us help you find an archaeological team, to help dig up your brothers and sisters, to create the biggest super computer in history, and working together, make this planet ever safer," Sarah Jane pleaded with her old friend.
"You do not think I am sufficient for what you do?" Mr Smith inquired.
"Of course, but you wanted to be with your siblings,"
"Point taken. I am willing to accept your offer," Mr Smith answered.
Gina had taken the 4 children back to the care home, and Bella was sitting with her legs dangling off the end of the bed with Dr Joey Brown sitting in front of her with a little equipment and a note pad.
"So, Bella, what do you remember about the incident?" He asked. Bella presumed Sarah Jane had made up a story so she edited what she remembered.
"I got hit in the stomach by a car, admittedly I hadn't looked where I was going and I crossed the road near a corner, the driver had no idea I was coming, then I woke up, everything was blurry, but I jerked and hit my head on the underside of the car." Bella paused, she knew she sounded way to certain. "But it was really blurry, I'm not sure, there wasn't all that much else for me to bang my head on." Dr Joey was writing almost everything she said down.
"Right, so I'm going to ask you some basic question, this should give me what I need to analyse your situation." Joey stated, writing some more details on his piece of paper. "So what's your full name?"
"Isabella Faith Smith."
"Good. Birthday?"
"Damn, that's the one I struggled with earlier, I know it's August sometime, it's in the first couple of weeks," Bella toyed, sounding very sarcastic, yet being totally serious.
