She worked all the time, just to keep her mind busy. A few days felt like
a few months of this tedious waiting. She worked on patients looking at
the door most of the time. She prayed almost constantly for them to find
Belle. Strangely enough, Belle was one of Chloe's first female friends.
She had lived with older relatives until she was twelve, and by then her
tastes were of opera and old movies. She had nothing in common with
children her own age. When she met Brady, he was the first person she had
really connected with. He understood that she was a little strange,
because he was a little strange himself. Brady was wonderful.
She walked away from the hospital. She almost hadn't heard Greta ordering her to get some rest. Everything ran together anymore. She walked sullenly back to her tent and layed down on her bed. She closed her eyes and again prayed for the safe return for those she loved, as she fell to a dreamful sleep.
She was finally home again. Her mom had made all her favorite foods for her return. She was flitting about her trying to make her more comfortable than she was, but that was impossible. She had never felt better sitting on the warm dry couch eating delicious food.
"Is there anything you need baby? More milk and cookies? Would you like another BLT?"
"No thank you mom. Where's Brady?"
"He'll be here shortly. Oh honey, I missed you so much."
"I missed you too Mom. I'm so glad to be home. I missed Salem so much. I never thought I'd say that. Hell, I almost missed Philip."
"Don't ever say that again."
"Relax, I just missed him being a jerk. At least it was familiar. Everything there is foreign." There was a loud knock on the door. "Is that Brady?"
"It most certainly is." Chloe leaped up to answer the door, only to find Philip holding a bouquet of roses. She frowned.
"What are you doing here?"
"I heard you were home. I wanted to see you. I love you Chloe."
"Leave me alone Philip. I just got home. I don't have the energy to see you." He threw the flowers on the porch and stomped on them, throwing a fit just like a small child. "Oh, grow up Philip. You don't always get what you want." She shut the door. "That was not Brady, Mom, that was deffinately not Brady."
"Who was it, sweetheart?"
"It was Philip. Where's Brady?"
"I'm right here Chloe. Turn around." She turned around and saw Brady. She leaped into his arms. "Chloe, you are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen."
"Oh Brady, I missed you so much," she said, kissing him furiously.
"I have to go Chloe. You need to wake up now." She frowned.
"No Brady, don't go. Please don't leave me. I need you Brady. Don't go, Brady. I love you." she said, still sleeping.
"Chloe, wake up, diva. Please wake up. I won't leave you. I love you. Open your eyes Chloe." She opened her eyes and Brady was there. She sat up.
"Am I still dreaming? What are you doing here? Oh my god, I'm still dreaming."
"No, Chloe. I'm here." He leaned in and kissed her passionately. She kissed him back with all she had in her. She wrapped her arms around him and held on tightly.
"I'm never letting you go, never."
"Well, I think Belle and Shawn will be very dissappointed."
"Belle? You found Belle? Is she ok?"
"She being checked out right now. She deffinately has a broken arm, but other than that she's probably fine. We found her wandering around the jungle. Boy, that was weird, let me tell you. The last thing you expect to find out there is a woman, a very muddy woman, but a woman none the less. It's funny, I feel close to her. But Shawn, Shawn hasn't left her side. I think he's in love."
"Brady, Belle is your baby sister."
"Chloe, are you feeling ok? I don't have a sister. I don't even have any brothers."
"She's Marlena's child. She's even named after your mother. Aren't you excited? I don't think I was suppoised to tell you, but I can't keep it away from you. You always wanted a little sister and now you have one."
"Belle from the jungle is my little sister? The girl my cousin was kissing in the jungle is my sister."
"Don't say it like that, Brady. He's not her cousin. You're making it sound really weird."
"I have a sister now. That's weird. The fact that her and Shawn, my best friend aside from you, was kissing her is just surreal."
"Let's go up to the hospital. I want to see them."
"Let's stay here and get reaquainted." He said, pulling her into another kiss. He wrapped his arms around her and layed beside her on the bed as they made both of their dreams come true.
She walked away from the hospital. She almost hadn't heard Greta ordering her to get some rest. Everything ran together anymore. She walked sullenly back to her tent and layed down on her bed.
