I been sitting in the chair admiring how Stef is sleeping so peacefully while she is holding her daughter in her arms the past couple of hours and the doctor has been by a few times to check on Stef but didn't want to disturb her since she didn't sleep the night before. Callie was watching TV while she laid there in Stef's arms. We've been in Stef's room now for 4 hours and Stef was just waking up and the doctor comes in the room.
"Ms. Foster how did you sleep."
"I slept good."
"That's good. I like to run some test a few without your daughter being in your arms later this evening then if it's okay with your girlfriend for your daughter to stay here tonight with you so I can run the other test with her in your arms."
"It's fine with me so you can find out what is going on so she can get discharged as soon as possible."
"Okay. How about you head home have some dinner then bring her daughter back say 9 O'clock tonight and you can stay for 2 hours because visiting hours close at 11 so the patients can sleep. We will set up her daughter in a different room for the few test that we don't want her daughter near her mother then by the time you come back in the morning you will find both of them sleeping in each others arms."
"Okay."
Me and Callie head home and I make us dinner and we eat. Then I help her get an overnight bag with a change of clothes before we head back to the hospital. Once we got to the hospital Stef was still awake so we talked for a little bit.
"Lena when do I get to go home."
"I'm not sure. They wanna do some more test with you before they give you the okay to come home.
"I don't understand I just broke my leg. They operated on it put it in a cast I should be good to go home. I just have to keep it elevated and stay off of it until it heals. I'm pretty sure you can work from home to help me out then when Callie gets home from school she can help me out."
"Yes I know but the doctors said you kept waking in the night screaming. They think you might have PTSD from the events that had happen."
"I do not have PTSD I was waking up screaming because of the pain I was in last night."
"Babe the doctors in Chicago had to sedate you to make you unconscious to get you back here because you refused to get on the medical plane on your own."
"That is impossible."
"It happen. You were scared to get back on a plane and I don't blame you if you never wanna get on a plane again. If it happen to me I would be scared to."
"What happen to my co workers."
"Only 3 and your captin had made it but with critical conditions."
"What happen to the others."
"I'm sorry Stef they died."
"What about my partner Bellick."
"He died also from the plane crash. There investigating it."
"Investigating what."
"The cause of the crash."
"Okay."
"You have nothing to worry about. Me and Callie will be there to support you every step of the way."
"I know I always have my girls."
The doctor comes in the room.
"Okay let's get the little girl set up to get some sleep. So how about you come with me."
"Okay I'll be back in a little bit Stef."
"Okay but can you stay with Callie until she falls asleep."
"Yeah no problem."
Me and Callie walk with the Doctor to set Callie up in a room that she will be sleeping in for a little while.
"Mama how come I can't sleep with Mommy."
"Well Callie the Doctors need to do some test with Mommy while you sleep in here then when it's okay for you to go sleep with Mommy they will come and get you. Isn't that right Doctor."
"Yes that's right and I will personally put you in your Mommy's arms."
"Okay."
"So close your eyes and get some sleep okay."
"Okay."
Callie falls asleep within a half hour then I go back to Stef's room and sit with her for a little bit. Then I head home and go to sleep. Then the next day I head to the Hospital before I go to work to pick up Callie. Then we head to school.
"Mama can I have lunch with you today."
"Yeah sweets."
Later that afternoon after me and Callie have lunch I get a phone call.
"Hello."
"Ms. Adams."
"Yes this is her."
"This is Thomas and I like to talk to you about your girlfriend Stephanie Foster's case that I like to discuss with you."
"What case."
"About the plane crash. If her and the other survivors win they can get 25 million each."
"25 Million."
"Yes 25 Million so could you be kindly to answer a few questions for me."
"Sure."
"Can you tell me how she was from Chicago til she Arrived in San Diego."
"I wasn't in Chicago but the doctors told me that had to sedate her to get her on the Medical Helicopter because she refused to get back on any kind of plane."
"Is she sleeping."
"No she's not sleeping she keeps waking up with nightmares. The only thing that keeps her calm is her daughter."
"Is there anything else that the doctor told you."
"Yes they said she has PTSD but Stephanie is in Denial about it."
"Okay thank you that's all I need for now."
I get off the phone and I head to the Hospital with Callie.
