Meanwhile Jill and Matron were sat in Jill's office looking at the results Gordon had gone to make them a drink and get a couple of books Jill had asked for that were still in his office.
Gordon came back in with everything he had been asked to get
"Sorry matron for wasting all your time" said Jill
"I'm just happy I could help" replied Matron
"There doesn't seem to be anything showing up on any of these" replied Gordon passing them back to Jill
"What about the positions of the screws" asked Matron
"I haven't been looking at that" said Gordon taking the films back
"Why didn't we think of that" asked Jill
"Yes matron your right one of the screws is slightly in the wrong position" said Gordon
"What now" he asked Jill
"Well now we know what's causing the pain, unfortunately there's nothing we can do about it we've just got to hope it will get better with time" replied Jill
"There must be something" said Matron
"All we can do is give her stronger medication when it happens so she doesn't have to keep coming in here and try and find out what triggers it or we could remove it we would have to check first" replied Jill
Meanwhile back in the emergency room Ash was having a nightmare again
"Mum, mum please mum" said Ash
"It's alright I'm here" said sister
"Shall I go and get Dr Weatherill" asked the nurse
"No, it's alright their busy and besides I'm here" said Sister
She turned her attention back to Ash
"Sssshhhhh, it's alright I'm here" said Sister
"mummmmm" said Ash
With that the nurse disobeyed Sister's order and left to get Dr Weatherill
She knocked on the Dr's door
"Come in" said Jill
"What's wrong" said Jill the second she saw the nurse getting up
"It's Ash she's asleep but she's calling for you, I would of come sooner but Sister told me not to" said the nurse
"Right tell me everything" said Gordon
The nurse told them everything that had happened they had just got the whole story when they arrived at the emergency room
"Right don't over react, there might be a plausible explanation" said Jill to Gordon
"Mummm" screamed Ash
Jill ran over
"It's alright baby girl" she whispered in Ash's ear and brushing her hair
"It's alright we're here" she added taking a seat that Gordon had pulled up and taking her hand
"Why didn't you come to get us" asked Gordon
"Well you were busy and I was here" replied Sister
"But she's screaming for her mum and you just ignored it would you do it if it was any other patient and their parents were in the hospital" asked Gordon
"No, I'm so sorry doctor" replied Sister getting up
"Well no harm done, why don't you stay for a bit" said Jill
"No, I think I've over stayed my welcome already and besides I've got lot's to do, I'll see you tomorrow" replied Sister walking towards the door
"I don't get it how can you stay so calm and say no harm done" said Gordon
"There's no point in making her feel worse, besides Ash is still asleep, she's not going to know any different" replied Jill trying to see it from both sides and feeling rather sorry for Sister
"Besides she knows that Ash wanted us, she's calmed right down as soon as she knew we were here, and Ash said she always was treating her differently because she wanted to be her mum, and Ash has just told her without even knowing it that she is not her mum and never will be in her eyes we are her parents, how would you be feeling right now in her shoes" said Jill
"O.k. sorry" said Gordon hitting his own hand
Just then Matron came in
"What's happening I just saw Sister running away crying" she asked
"I'd better go and apologise" replied Gordon going out the door
"Noooo" whimpered Ash
"Sssshhhhh, ssssshhhh, it's alright" said Jill
Ash quietened down and Jill turned her attention back to Matron
"I'm sorry we've wasted so much of your time" said Jill
"It's no bother you know where I am any time" replied Matron
"Well about that what are you doing tomorrow" asked Jill
"Nothing why" asked Matron
"We've got a day out planned I would love it if you would agree to come" replied Jill
"I don't know I think you need to spend time as a family" replied Matron
"You're as good as family and besides it would mean a lot to me if you came" replied Jill
"Alright what time and where" replied Matron
"We'll pick you up around ten" replied Jill
Matron could see the relief in Jill's face knowing that she was going with them
"Are you sure" asked Matron
"Yes, I will phone you if the plans change" replied Jill
"Well I better be on my way, I'll see you tomorrow" replied Matron
"Yes and thank you again we never would of thought of that if it wasn't for you" replied Jill
And with that matron left, Jill was on her own with Ash for about fifteen minutes she was starting to wonder where Gordon had gotten too when he walked back through the door with a cup of tea for her.
"How is she" he asked
"Still asleep, Matrons gone, I've asked her to come along tomorrow, how did you get on" said Jill
"Yes, I saw her in the corridor, and I've had a long chat with Sister you were right, she said she's going away for a few days to clear her head and she will pop in and see us when she's back" replied Gordon
"How could we have let it get so bad" asked Jill
"I guess we just thought the Kids were trying to play us off" replied Gordon
"All we can do now is try and pick up the pieces" he added
"Where do we start" asked Jill
"Well I suppose we sit all the kids down and apologise and then we listen and do our best to help in any way we can" Gordon replied
"Let's start with the other three tonight and deal with Ash tomorrow she's going to need us the most she's been the most affected" he added
They sat there for about another hour chatting. Ash had been sleeping pretty quietly there were a couple of times that she mumbled but she was quickly soothed she started to come around slowly the pain killers starting to lose their effect. Ash had been awake for about ten minutes and Jill and Gordon were trying to get her to talk about her dream
"But I don't remember" sobbed Ash
"Was I screaming a lot" she added in between sobs
"No it wasn't that bad, but you were screaming for mum and sister Brigid was doing her best to calm you down but you were getting louder and louder until mum came and calmed you down" said Gordon
"Did I upset her very much" sobbed Ash
"No I think your dad upset her more" replied Jill
"How" asked Ash
"It doesn't matter now" replied Gordon
"So you really can't remember it then" asked Jill
"All I can remember is it was different from before, but I can't say how or why" replied Ash
"It's alright as long as you are o.k. that's all that matters and if you do remember you know where we are" said Jill giving Ash a hug
"How's the pain now" Gordon asked
"It's alright, can we go home now" she asked and was surprised when they agreed
"What's wrong with me then I thought you wanted to operate" queried Ash
"Well it's probably easier if we show you" replied Gordon
