Title: The New Matthews
The sirens blared around and seemed to drill in to the brains of Cory and Topanga. This was like an awful dream, only real. Ashley was in the hospital.
"I hope she's okay," said Topanga said between sobs.
"She'll be okay," said Cory hoping that he was right.
"Excuse me, are you the parents of Ashley Matthews?" said a tall thin man.
Assuming that he was the doctor Cory replied, "Yes we are. Is she going to be okay?"
"She'll be okay. She just may not be able to do much for a while. Keep her comfortable, and try to move her as little as possible for the next couple of weeks."
"When can we see her?" asked Topanga anxiously.
"She will be up for visits tomorrow. For now the best suggestion I can give you is go home, get a good night sleep, and set up for Ashley. She will be coming home on Saturday," said the doctor smoothly.
That night Cory and Topanga couldn't sleep, so they got up and sat at the kitchen table talking. "I feel guilty. I never got to teach her to ride her bike. And I signed her up at that school. I am so stupid," said Topanga while wiping back tears.
"Don't blame it on yourself. It's not your fault. I love you and so doesn't Ashley. Plus look on the bright side, if you taught her how to ride her bike, she might have ended up in the hospital a lot sooner."
"That's not funny!" Topanga said lightly smacking Cory.
They sat and talked a little bit longer than drifted off to sleep in the kitchen chairs.
When they went in to see Ashley the next day, they saw a familiar face.
"Hello, Mr. Matthews, I thought I'd stop by and see how Ashley, since I was dropping by the front desk to persuade the nurses to let me leave early," said George Feeny with a slight grin on his face, "If anyone asks, I am the great-grandfather."
"Hey, Ash, how'ya feeling?" asked Cory.
"Okay," said a frowning Ashley.
"I brought something for you. It helped me with my recovery," said Mr. Feeny as he whipped out the little vase with overgrown grass in it and put it on the shelf. "Whenever you feel sick, just glance over and you'll feel better, I guarantee it."
"We also brought you something," said Cory. Topanga pulled out a medium sized bean animal.
"It's a giraffe. I knew it was your favorite animal. And see... look here. It's riding a bike. That's so that when you feel better I will teach you to ride and we can do it together. I love you baby," said Topanga.
Just then Amy, Alan, Eric and Shaun burst in. "Ashley, are you okay?" they all sid in unison.
"Ya, I'm okay," she said glumly.
All of the sudden a gruff voice came over the loudspeaker, "Visiting hours are over. Cory or Topanga Matthews, the police are here to see you."
(I want a certain number of reviews or no story. This chapter was kinda bad but cut me some slack. I'm tired. Thanks for reviewing the last one. Keep um coming!)
