Different
Paths Part 20:
Lots
of tears
Leo
orbed with Prue to the hospital and they reappeared in the woman's
toilette.
"Go... I go home already..."
Prue just nodded
and ran out of the toilette and to the ICU where they had kept Meghan
in. nearly there, she saw a lot of nurses and doctor's leaving the
ICU and her hopes were sinking.
"No, no, no, no"
she
whispered silently as she made her way through the crowd. She looked
into the room and saw Andy holding a 'lifeless' body. She just
shook her head, faster and faster.
'No... She's not... she
can't be... no...'
Prue thought and let out a sob, as tears
ran again down her cheeks
"no..."
she finally said aloud,
earning Andy's attention. He smiled slightly; he too had tears in
his eyes. He whispered something to their girl, who suddenly turned
around and faced Prue
"momi!"
she yelled a huge smile on
her face. Prue looked shocked for a few seconds. She thought she was
dead and now her little girl was looking at her with a happy face,
like she'd just had been sleeping for along time. There was the
purple light again and Meghan disappeared, leaving the machines to
beep on their own, so she could be with Prue. She hugged Prue
tightly. And Prue just starred into Andy's eyes, not understanding
this. He told Leo it was an emergency and now Meghan was awake.
Alive. Alright. Prue looked down at Meghan. She felt her warm skin on
hers and her breath on her neck. She smelled her hair and heard her
voice. She was there. She was okay. Prue held her tightly back
"oh
my god... you're okay... you're alright... you're there... I'm
there..."
suddenly she felt how her neck was starting to get
wet and heard Meghan sob a little
"don't go awai, momi..."
"I'm not gonna go anywhere. You are okay. I'm here...
shshshsh..."
Prue said as she started to crawl Meghan's hair
for the very first time. Andy went over to them and helped Prue to
the bed... knowing this was much for her to handle, probably even too
much.
"te... te... bad man took me awai... an me wanna
scream... but... but he... he tok mi foise (voice) awai... an... an
ten sutenli you all wewe awai... me... me call fow you... but you
wewe nowewe. I heawd youw foise but me no see you... and you didn't
pick me... you wewe awai..."
Meghan cried
"I know...
shsh... it's over now... you're alright. The bad man is gone. You
're okay... you're okay..."
Prue whispered. she repeated
the 'you're okay' part a million of times, to tell it to
herself and to Meghan, while kissing her over and over again. When
Meghan calmed finally almost completely down. Prue kissed her temple
a few more times and noticed how hot she felt. She looked at Andy to
see if she really felt right. her husband just nodded
"she ahs a
fever..."
he answered. Prue looked back down at Meghan and
grabbed for a nearby blanket wrapping it around Meghan
"me
wanna go home"
Meghan said lowly... still sniffling slightly.
Prue looked at Andy who nodded and then left the room to go ask a
doctor and/or sign all the necessary papers. Prue just kept rocking
Meghan and then tried laying her down on the bed, but Meghan kept a
tight hold on her
"c'mon pricess... lay down. Slept a
little..."
Prue whispered but Meghan shook her head
"no
go"
"I won't go... but sweetie you still have a little fever
and need to rest."
Meghan again shook her head
"okay... if
you promise me you'll sleep when we get home, you don't have to
sleep now"
Meghan just nodded
"you're okay" Prue just
whispered again and kissed her forehead gently, continueing to rock
her slightly.
