Rawr (: Here's another chapter!
Enjoy (:
"Don't make me stay with strangers!" Sydney cried as she left her face against Jules' shoulder. She breathed deeply to hold back her tears, "I promise that you'll be safe and your new family will love you more than anything in the world." Sydney shook her head, "But I want to see you! Why can't you be my mommy!?" She screamed as tears poured from her eyes. Jules stroked the girl's hair gently, "I'm sorry sweetie—I really am."
Just as Jules was standing at the window with Sydney in her arms, a nurse let Sam in.
"Sammy, what's wrong?" Jules asked as he walked over slowly, but with a worried expression on his face.
"Alexis and Clark—They're gone."
Jules shook her head, "What?"
"Ed just got off the phone after I talked with Alexis. Jules—They're driving to Ottawa to get an apartment of their own."
"You tell her to get back here—now! Tell her she can buy an apartment here in Toronto if they are that set on living together."
Sam nodded, "I don't know what's gotten into her." He then looked at the tears on Sydney's face, "Sydney—How are you feeling?" She shook her head low and placed it on Jules' shoulder.
"Sydney, This is my husband Sam." She told her. "She's upset about going to another home." Jules whispered to Sam. He nodded, "I understand—I'll tell the guys she's doing okay." He whispered as he kissed Jules' hair and left the room.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Who was that?" Clark asked as Alexis threw her phone to the ground. "Clark—Let's go back."
"What?"
"Listen—We're only teenagers and if we get an apartment in Toronto our parents will be way more likely to help us out if we ever need anything. Plus, I really want to finish school."
Clark glanced over, "Are you sure, babe?"
She nodded, "I'm not going back home though. I'm ready to be with you—I don't need my Mom and Dad anymore."
"Neither do I." He smiled, taking her hand and turning off the exit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"She's going to do it." Sam told Jules when he returned. The whole team was finally allowed to visit with Sydney. They had been on shift for 18 hours when Wordy, Lou, and Spike decided to head home for rest, Ed went to check on Sophie and tell her what was going on, and Sam went to check on Jessica and Carly. Jules promised Sydney that she would be there with her until they found her a family along with Greg who made his way back up and down the elevator from the cafeteria.
"Do what?"
"Alexis and Clark are going to find an apartment here and stay in school." When Sam told her that, Jules smiled, "Great."
"Yeah, She finally talked to me and said they were searching today. Apparently Clark has a job at some restaurant so they're using his pay and Alexis is getting a job, and I have no idea. I told her you were busy and she was happy because according to her you would have tied them up and drug them back home." He chuckled along with Greg. Jules threw her head to the side, "Yep—That sounds like something I would do." She then looked down at Sydney who had fallen back asleep.
"I seriously don't know what to do guys—I can't take care of another kid." She fell to the chair next to Sydney's hospital bed and took the little hand.
Sam glanced across the bed at her with a smile, "Well—You just lost a kid, and who knows—Once Jessica has the baby she might find someone and leave us and then we just have Carly."
Jules giggled, "Oh right, you mean that baby I carried for all those months and now hardly sees me? That one?" Sam laughed, "Yeah. The one with my big head."
"I still don't know what to do though—I'm not sure how she would really take to being a part of our family." Jules pressed her hands around Sydney's. "I mean—our family isn't quite normal."
Both Greg and Sam laughed, "Well—She'd be protected alright. I mean, her parents will be out in five years—not that she wont have restraining orders on both of them and pretty much the rest of her family, but still—she'll need someone to keep her safe."
Jules smiled as she kissed Sydney's hand, "We could keep her safe."
"So what do you say—?" Sam asked. Jules bit her lip, "I wont rule it out." Greg nodded to each of them, "Well—I think I'm going to head home for a few hours. I have a Sergeants meeting tonight and if I fall asleep again—Ed will be your Boss." Everyone laughed as Jules hugged him and he patted Sam's shoulder, then left.
"So what do we do?" Sam asked. Jules shook her head, "I don't know—But I'm closing my eyes for a few minutes. I haven't slept in I don't even know how long. Boss has brought me at least 5 cups of coffee in the past 5 hours." Sam nodded as he watched her walk over to the recliner in the room and close her eyes.
------------------------------------------------------
"We're going to spend the rest of the day searching for the perfect apartment for us to be together." Clark smiled as he and Alexis got back in his car after stopping for a moment. She nodded, "We finally get to live together."
Clark took her hand as he started the car, "I can't wait until we get married—It's going to be perfect."
"So what did your dad say about us leaving?"
"Sam as yours—We have to stay in the city. But Alexis—Can you believe that we're actually out of our parents houses now!?"
She shook her head, "Tomorrow is a Saturday so we can pack up our things and hit the road."
Clark leaned over the console, kissing her gently and driving off.
----------------------------------------------------
An hour passed of Jules sleeping, Sydney sleeping, and Sam counting the number of tiles on the ceiling.
"Jules?" Sydney whispered as she rolled to her side. Jules immediately jerked up and walked over. "Hey sweet pea—How are you feeling?" She whispered as she saw Sam had dozed off. Sydney nodded, "Better—but my arm still hurts and so does my side—I can't move." As tears started to fumble in her eyes, Jules placed her hand in Sydney's, "Squeeze." She giggled as Sydney squeezed as hard as she could. "Do you want to go see the cool stuff here in the children's hospital?" Jules asked. Sydney nodded quickly as she saw Jules whisper to Sam what she was doing and him nod in his sleep.
"Okay." Jules told her as she lifted her onto her hip, "I'm carrying you down the hall." Sydney smiled. She was a very small little girl for her age, frail and weak—short and skinny. She probably only weighed 35 pounds when most kids her age were at almost 45 or 50. When they got to a room full of color and bright animals painted on the walls, Sydney lit up with a bright smile.
"Come here—Let's talk for a minute." Jules told her as she pulled the IV rack they had drug with them next to the couch they sat down on. "Mhmm?" Sydney smiled as she sat in Jules' lap, her head resting on her chest. "Well—While you were sleeping—I found out that one of my daughter's is moving out because she's getting married." Sydney nodded, still not knowing where Jules was heading with this. "Well, then my other daughter is about to have a baby—and who knows how long she'll live with us or if she'll move. I also have my baby daughter, but—I was wondering if you would be interested in me fostering you? Or well, just taking care of you until we find you a perfect home." Sydney's eyes lit up and her smile widened, "I—I could go home with you?" Jules giggled and nodded, "Yeah, sweetie—yeah, but you're going to be in the hospital for about a week. They said you had really bad bruises on your body and you shouldn't be without the IV. "But I would love to have you as part of our family—so would Sam." Sydney smiled brightly as she pulled on Jules' shirt sleeve, kissed her cheek and placed her head on her shoulder. "Thank you." She whispered as she closed her eyes gently. Jules smiled and stood up, carrying Sydney back to bed.
"Hey." Sam whispered as she walked back in and tucked the little girl into bed. "Hey Sammy." She kissed him gently. "Wow—I really know how to feel guilty. Do I tell him or not? No—Not yet."
"I'm going to go call Alexis and give her the talk of a life time. Do you want to stay here?" Jules asked as Sam nodded in reply. She stepped out in the hallway and sat down on a bench.
"Mom!"
***
"Hey Alexis—We need to talk."
***
Alexis was overly excited, "Clark has a friend who's brother is selling his apartment—and we're buying it!"
***
"That's great sweetie—But would you totally kill me if I—uh—kinda brought home a 5 year old?"
***
Alexis jumped, "Mom—." She thought for a second. If Jules hadn't brought her and her sister home, she would have never met Clark or anything, and she may have even been dead after half the stuff that happened to her. "Mom—I think it's a great idea. I'm coming by tomorrow to get my things and she can totally have my room. I can't wait to meet her, what's her name?"
***
"Sydney. She's a sweetie—but you know—I am really, really going to miss you Alexis. I seriously don't know what I'm going to do without you."
***
"Don't worry! Jessica and I have it all planned out. She said that if I ever wanted to hang out back at home I can have part of her room, and Clark agreed to it all since we're both still and school and I still kinda want to be able to talk to you guys and stuff."
***
Jules giggled, "You're always welcome back home sweetie. I just want you to know how supportive we will be of you two and if you ever need anything just call, okay?"
***
"Sure Mom—I love you."
***
"I love you too sweetheart."
----------------------------
When Jules opened the door to walk back in the room, she found Sam showing Sydney the funny games on his phone, making her laugh and squeal.
"How'd it go?" He whispered.
Jules nodded and took a deep breath, "We have an empty room in our house—and Alexis thinks it's a good idea." Sam smiled as Jules sat down next to him and they watched Sydney play and giggle, waving her pink cast around with a sweet smile on her face.
