Chapter 9
OoOoOoOo
Sarah awoke the next morning to see Peter checking on her IV.
"Good morning Sarah" he said a little to cheerfully.
"Morning" Sarah groaned while yawning.
"Sarah.. you have .. um... visitors. You're parents are here"
"Oh great that's just what I need, my parents lecturing me about running away, and trying to kill myself." Sarah groaned and then added " You might as well send them in"
Peter nodded and said "Okay" but just before he walked out of the door he added "Oh, and by the way, you get to go home today"
"Just don't tell my parents" she responded
She sat up in bed and tried to make herself look halfway decent for her parents. As she waited she heard a voice yelling.
"Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah..."
Sarah laughed at the voice, she knew it could only be Toby. A moment later he came running into the room still screaming her name.
"SARAH!!" He yelled as he ran over to her.
"Hey kiddo"
Toby gave her a big hug, and then started asking her a million questions.
"Sarah I missed you?"
"Did you miss me?"
"Where did you go?"
"Why did you leave?"
"Why were you gone for so long?"
"How're you?"
"Why are you so fat?"
Before he could spit out another question, a voice interrupted him.
"Toby, calm down and give her a chance to answer."
Sarah looked over to see Karen standing in the doorway.
"Hello Sarah, how are you doing?" She said making her way toward her step-daughter.
"Hi Karen, I'm good."
Sarah felt very awkward , she hadn't had any contact with her parents for about 5 months, and all of a sudden they just show up out of nowhere, when she was in the hospital in all places. She could tell that Karen had a lot of questions for her but was refraining because Toby was in the room.
"Sarah, are you listening" She heard Toby say.
"Of course" She lied ruffling his hair.
"Sarah, you never answered any of my questions."
"Oh, I'm sorry. Why don't you ask me again ,and I'll answer you, ok?"
"Ok, why did you leave?"
Sarah paused, she had no clue what to tell him, he was too young to understand the truth.
"Hey Toby, do me a favor and go see what's taking your dad so long" Karen interrupted.
"Ok" Toby said as he jumped off the bed and ran out of the room.
"Thanks Karen, I had no clue what to tell him."
"Sarah since Toby brought it up, why did you leave?"
"Because of Dad, you were there when I told him, he went ballistic, and I didn't feel like dealing with him like that for the rest of my pregnancy, so I left."
Karen nodded, and dropped the subject. She hugged her step-daughter and said
"I'm just glad that your alright."
OoOoOoOo
Toby ran into the room and jumped on the bed. He looked at Karen and said
"Dad's coming"
A moment later, Robert came into the room, and couldn't contain his joy upon seeing daughter. He nodded to Karen, giving her the signal that he wanted time alone with Sarah.
Karen took Toby by the hand, and asked him. "You want to go get some ice cream?"
Toby jumped off the bed , started jumping up and down shaking his head 'yes', and left the room dragging Karen with him.
"Sarah, I missed you so much. I was worried sick!"
Robert hugged his daughter as tight as he could.
"I missed you too dad, I'm sorry I should have called or something." Sarah replied while hugging her dad back.
"Wow, you've grown.. both of you." Robert said while looking at his daughter and pointing at her belly. "So do I have a grandson, or a granddaughter?"
Sarah smiled and said "You'll find out in about 3 months."
Robert looked up at the clock on the wall, and realized that it was time to leave.
"Sarah, we have to get going." He kissed his daughter "Now when you can go home, don't hesitate to call us. It's quite linely in the house without you."
"I will dad."
Toby came running into the room, heading straight for Sarah.
"Bye Sarah." He said giving her the biggest hug.
"Bye kiddo." she said, returning his hug.
OoOoOo
When her family left, Peter came into the room.
"Ready to go home??" He asked.
"Am I ever, but I have nothing to wear." She said indicating the hospital gown she had on.
"Oh, don't worry I'll find you some scrubs to wear."
He left for a moment and came back with a pair of scrubs for Sarah. As Sarah was changing in the bathroom Peter said
"Now, since you were admitted because of a suicide attempt, they either want you to see a psychologist , or have someone check up on you every now and then to make sure you don't try to kill yourself again."
"Just because you make a stupid mistake, they have to keep tabs on you. Oh well , I guess I'd rather have someone checking up on me than see a shrink."
Sarah came out of the bathroom, looked at Peter and said
"I'm ready, and by the way thank you for driving me home."
"No problem."
OooOooO
Peter pulled up to Sarah's apartment and let her off.
"Now I'll be back tomorrow to check up on you."
"So, you're the person that has to check up on me, well at least now I know that it's someone I can stand."
Peter laughed and said "I'll see you tomorrow."
Sarah stopped him before he left and said
"Since your going to be coming over frequently, you might as well have a key, in case im napping when you come."
"Are you sure about this?" Peter asked.
"Don't worry, you're a really good friend and I trust you."
"Ok." Peter replied and then drove off
A/N: Don't get worried people, Peter will have no romantic involvement with Sarah. This is a Jareth/Sarah fic all else is sin.
Review and enjoy.
Voila!
A.M.
