"Mr. Capulet you'll be happy to know that your daughter has no broken
bones, just some bruising and a few sprains, she'll be back to normal in
under a week." The doctor smiled.
"As long as she doesn't try that again I'm happy." Carla's Dad sighed.
"Mr. Capulet, after treating all of your sons and your daughter, not to mention yourself; I can honestly tell you I think we'll be seeing one of you again soon enough." The doctor smiled; it was true, the Capulet's were always in and out of the hospital for one thing or another.
"Hi Daddy, hi guys." Carla smiled as her family and friends all walked in to see her.
"I see you've still got that damn hat on." Jason grumbled.
"Like I'd take it off after all that!" Carla giggled.
"Are you feeling ok Carla?" Sammy asked.
"Yeah, it's nothing serious." Carla shrugged.
"Mr. Capulet, I've just had a quick glance at our daughter's X-ray and her medical file and there's something I need to discuss with you." The doctor said flatly as he walked in.
"Sure doctor, what is?" Carla's father asked.
"Well there are numerous things on here that she hadn't had treated. Repeatedly broken ribs, fractured arm, fractured ankle; even a fractured skull. I know you're family is always going through the wars with all the sport you all do but I know that these things would have had to be seen by a doctor. The skull fracture would have been enough to knock her unconscious for a while. Do you have any idea what happened?" The doctor asked flipping through her records.
"No, I always make them go to the doctor if they're hurt." Carla's Dad frowned.
"Has she been with you ever since you and your wife split up?" The doctor asked.
"No, she lived with her mother for two years, then she stayed with Twister for a few months and now she's back with me." Carla's Dad replied.
"Carla, do you have any idea how these happened?" The doctor asked walking over to Carla.
"No." She said quietly as she hugged her knees to her chest.
"Do you get on with your mother and step-father?" The doctor asked quietly.
"Sure." Carla replied.
"And you get on with Twister's family?" The doctor asked.
"HEY! Wait a minute here! I've known Raoul and Sandy since we were kids and they love my kids as if they were family! They would never hurt her!" Carla's Dad snapped.
"I didn't say they were, and I didn't ask you. Carla, do you get on with Twister's family?" The doctor asked Carla again.
"Yeah." Carla replied smiling slightly at the thought of Twister.
"CARLA!" A voice shouted. Everyone in the room looked at the door as a tall blonde woman who could easily be a movie star burst in the room, followed by a tall, disgruntled-looking muscular man.
"Sarah." Carla's Dad said softly.
"Mom?" All of Carla's brother's said in unison.
"Sweetie, are you ok? I saw you on the news and I rushed straight over here." Carla's Mom said running into the room towards her daughter.
"Get out of here. Now." Carla said coldly as she looked away from her mother.
"Don't talk to your mother like that!" The tall muscular man snapped.
"Oh leave her alone Brad, she's just a little shaken up by her accident. She doesn't mean it do you sweetie?" Carla's mother smiled warmly.
"Brad." Carla's Dad said half calmly and half venomously.
"Carlos." The tall man named Brad replied in the same fashion.
"I'm not shaken up. Now leave, and take him with you." Carla growled meaning Brad. Brad bristled and glared at Carla.
"May I remind you Sir that anyone in this hospital for example your step- daughter is under our protection and any attackers can and will be sent to prison for tying or indeed harming our patients." The doctor said warningly.
"Are you threatening me?" Brad growled rounding on the doctor.
"Why of course not, why guilty conscience?" The doctor asked.
Later Carla's mother, Sarah walked up to Carla's Dad, Carlos.
"Carlos. I'm worried about Carla. And I just want to see her for a week or so, and me and Brad have no-where to stay." Sarah said biting her lip.
"Sarah. I don't know if I should let you stay at my house. For one I hate Brad and you know it, for another you left the kids and me and I don't know what they'll feel about it. And Carla didn't seem to happy with you when she saw you walk in, and the last thing I want to do is upset my little girl after she's just come out of hospital." Carla's Dad sighed.
"I know, but she's my little girl too and I want to make up to her for whatever she's angry with me about." Carla's mother sighed.
"Carla, your mother asked me if she and Brad could stay at our house for a while just to keep an eye on you and make sure you recover fine." Carla's Dad said softly to his daughter the morning after Carla had been admitted into hospital.
"WHAT?!" Carla shouted outraged.
"Listen I'm not all that thrilled about it either, you know how much your mother splitting up with me hurt me. Look if I don't let her see you she might sue me over custody of you; and I couldn't bear to lose you again." Carla Dad smiled hugging his daughter.
"Good news Carla, you're fine to go home now; just lay off the mountain boarding for a while ok?" The doctor smiled walking in.
"Yeah, great." Carla said quietly.
"As long as she doesn't try that again I'm happy." Carla's Dad sighed.
"Mr. Capulet, after treating all of your sons and your daughter, not to mention yourself; I can honestly tell you I think we'll be seeing one of you again soon enough." The doctor smiled; it was true, the Capulet's were always in and out of the hospital for one thing or another.
