When I'm out of the room I immediately text my mom and she answers back that she's on her way. I stand there for a moment wondering what to do. Hospitals made me so nervous. My hands are already sweating. I decide to go find some coffee for Sara and I. That's pretty much the only usual thing I can do at this point. Well and be there for Sara when she's done talking to her mom.
My mom doesn't show up until I've nearly finished my second cup of coffee. Sara is still with her mom which I think is a good sign. Hopefully they are working on making their relationship better. I know Sara really loves her and cares about her. I hand my mom a cup of coffee and ask where dad is. "He had to go into work. How is Sara doing?" I shrug, "she's…" I don't know. "Why did he have to go into work? It's Christmas day." My mom sighs, "there was just a minor breakin. Nothing was stolen. It ws just a little boy trying to steal some food. Your dad let him off with a warning and let him keep the food. He'll be heading over shortly." I smile and we decide to go check on Sara.
When we enter the room we find her in the bed with her mom. I look at my mom and we both tiptoe out of the room. "That's so sweet. I hope this brings them closer together." I sigh, "I'm glad that Sara's mom is okay but I don't think Sara should just forgive her all of a sudden. She better of given her a really great apology." My mom smiles, sympathetically, but says, "Tegan, I know you want to keep Sara safe, but so does her mom. Parents make mistakes, no one in this world can be perfect all the time." I huff. "I know that but her mom made a lot of mistakes." My mom laughs, "Come on let's go get some breakfast."

My mom and I cry ourselves to sleep. When I wake up, I slide out of the bed and let my mom rest. I walk out of the room and text my dad that he needs to head down here. I head to the cafeteria and find Tegan and her family sitting at a table. I go take a seat next to Tegan making her jump a little "Oh hey love." She smiles at me and places a hand on my back. I smile weakly and sigh, "You guys don't have to be here, you can go home, I'm going to stay until my dad gets here. I think it's time for a family discussion." I say and Sonia gives me a sympathetic look, "We want to be here for you Sara." Tegan nods in agreement to her mom's words. "We all care about you and want you to know you're loved." Bruce chimes in. My eyes start to water, I sniff and say "I love you guys to much" I reach out and touch Sonia's hand and Bruce's, "And we love you too" Sonia says with a warm smile. "I love you more though" Tegan giggles and kisses my cheek, a smile stretches across my face. Leaning into Tegan I sigh and tell them what's going on and everything that my mom said.
Later on in the day my dad shows up with two small bags with my mom's initials on it. I say see ya later to everyone and walk back to the room with him "How are you doing princess?" he asks with a weary smile, I shrug, "I'm getting by." I sigh and we walk into the room, my mom is sitting up with a doctor checking her vitals she looks way better after the nap she just took. Her eyes find me and light up, her smile grows. Smiling back, I walk over to her and take her hand. The doctor stops and talks to my dad for a second then he leaves. "He says you can come home soon." my dad lays a hand on my shoulder. "Look at us." he says "We're almost a family again." I look at them both. "Not too fast you two. I don't necessarily forgive you all the way." My mom frowns and tightens her hold on my hand, "This is going to be slow and we're going to build piece by piece." I say with a small smile.
