Chapter 7: No Angel

I'm so sorry for the long wait guys. I've been so busy since starting school, with all the writing I have to do for my composition class its hard to find time to do personal writing. So in keeping with my A/N at the end of the last chapter this chapter is based on a request made by a reviewer who unfortunately did not leave a name so I know only as Guest. Also I've decided to chill on all the medical stuff in this story and just have some regular old conflicts. So here it goes, enjoy….

…

It is almost time for school to reopen and so the kids are all in day-care because both Aria and Ezra have to be back at work to prepare for the new semester. The English department at Rosewood high were having a meeting to discuss the syllabi for the term when they were interrupted by the incessant buzzing from a phone. Aria checked her bag only to find that it was a call from the day-care. Fearing the worst she hurriedly excused herself to take the call outside.

"Hello…yes Samantha is everything ok? Mmhmm…Yes I understand, I'm in a meeting at the moment but I should be able to get there in the next hour…Ok thank you, see you soon." She spoke then hung up the phone. She ran her hand over her face and shook her head. Of all the things to happen this was definitely not one of them. After a moment she shook off the phone conversation she just had and went back into the meeting.

45 minutes later the meeting was over and Aria packed her bag and headed for her car. It was while she was in the car driving to Dyllan's Child Care Center that she replayed the conversation she'd had with Samantha the director.

10 minutes later she pulled into the parking lot of the large Day-care and sighed heavily before exiting and making her way to the building. She then made her way through the lobby and to the left where she knew the director's office was.

"Good Afternoon I'm Aria Fitz and I'm here to see Mrs Winchester, she is expecting me" Aria greeted Samantha's assistant Natalie.

"Oh yes Mrs Fitz, she is with someone at the moment so just have a seat and she'll be with you in a couple minutes." Natalie told her

"Thank you"

A few minutes later a couple walked out with a little boy who had a nasty looking black-eyed and busted lip followed by Samantha Winchester.

"Oh Aria you are here already." Samantha said then called for her to follow her into her office then turned to Natalie "Could you go tell Anna to send the Rivers twins and the Fitz girls" To which Natalie nodded and left. "Aria you can come on in and have a seat while we wait on the girls.

A couple minutes later Natalie returned with the girls. They all walked in and Aria noticed the only child who did not have a bandage of any kind anywhere was Sydney but her eyes were red and puffy as if she had been crying.

"What the hell happened?" Aria turned to Samantha and asked.

Without answering Aria's question Samantha turned to the girls. "Kennedy, Sydney, Callie, Rylie would any of you like to tell your mom what happened here today?"

The question however was met with silence and Rylie crossing her arms.

"Kennedy what happened to your hand?" Aria asked referring to the bandage wrapped around her wrist.

"It's not my fault mom, I was just trying to stop Rylie." Kennedy finally replied after a few minutes.

"Stop Rylie from what Kennedy Ella?" Aria asked getting more pissed off by the second.

Kennedy sighed before answering her mother. "She was fighting with this boy name Jason. She pushed me away and I tripped and fell on my arm."

Aria then turned from Kennedy to Samantha when she started to speak. "We had her checked out by the nurse, she says it looks like just a sprained but to be sure you could take her to a doctor. Also she gave her some pain medicine." Aria nodded then turned to Rylie.

"Rylie Aria Rivers why were you fighting?"

"Because he hit Callie with the stupid toy, so I hit him." Rylie says matter-of-factly

"We will talk about this when we get home little miss" Aria tells her then turned to Samantha and sighed. "Oh my God I don't know what this was about but my husband and I will speak to her mother about this and find a way to deal with this problem. I don't understand it, she's never fought before."

"I understand her mom and dad are still in the hospital?"

"Yes she is awake and responsive but their dad is still unconscious."

"Oh that's unfortunate, well in that case the behavioural change is expected. I'm sorry about that but as you know we have an absolutely no fighting rule. So as much as I sympathize with you and your situation I'm going to have to inform you that today will be the last day the Rylie will be accepted back here. Seeing as Kennedy and Sydney were not a part of the fight they are ok. Also Callie did not actually hit the Jason she is ok to return also." Samantha explained.

Aria sighed and shook her head and turned to look at Rylie who was silently standing by the door. "Great, so what am I supposed to do with you tomorrow? I have a workshop to attend. Well thank you again Samantha." Aria stood and shook the older woman's hand before ushering the girls out of the office. "We will discuss this as soon as we get home."

She went and got the babies from the toddler and baby room before corralling all the kids to the car and getting them all strapped into their various seats and got in and drove to the hospital. She decided that as she'd already be going to see Hanna she would also get Ellie's wrist checked out as well just to be sure.

When Aria got to the hospital she found spencer waiting on her in the emergency room waiting on her. "The nurse at day-care thinks it's just a sprain but I'd be more comfortable if I knew that for sure because it's pretty swollen."

Spencer took Kennedy's arm which the nurse had wrapped and looked at it. "I understand, and it does look really swollen. I'll page the orthopaedic surgeon down here for a consult don't worry, it could be a really bad sprain or maybe a fracture. What happened anyway?"

Aria sighed. "She fell on it today, apparently she was trying to pull Rylie off a kid she was fighting."

"Fighting? What? Why?" Spencer asks shocked and turned to look at Rylie noticing the split lip for the first time.

"Apparently the kid hit Cal with a toy and Ry just lost it" Aria tells her and shakes her head.

"Wow Ry bug that is not like you" Spencer comments and lifts up the 6 year old.

"I don't know Aunty Spencer, I just lost it." Both Spencer and Aria had to cough to hide the smile they both got at how cute she looked saying that all serious.

"Ok bug, but you know you shouldn't hit."

"I do but I just got so mad." Rylie replies sadly

Before Spencer could reply however Dr Ward came up to her. "You paged me for a consult?" He asked

"Yea this I my niece Kennedy and she fell on her hand today, it's really swollen and I just wanted you to check it out for me." Spencer told him and pointed to Kennedy who was in Aria's arms now with her head resting on her shoulder.

"Oh no problem. Hi I'm Dr Ward, and you must be the mom." He stretched his arm out and Aria shook it then he turned to Ellie. "Hi there Kennedy, I'm Dr Ward and I'm gona take a look at your arm is that ok?" He asked and Kennedy nodded.

The doc carefully took her arm and unwrapped the bandage from it. "Ok mom why don't you follow me over to this bed right her and just place her on it so I can examine her hand." Aria did as he asked leaving the other kids with Spencer.

"The nurse at her day-care says it's a sprain but as I was already supposed to be here I thought why not just have it checked out." Aria explained and the doctor nodded while examining the arm.

After a moment of crying while he examined the hand he turned to Aria. "Ok I'm going to order her an x-ray, I don't think it's just a sprain. In the mean time she seems to be in a lot of pain so I'm going to order her some pain medication. I'll be back in a moment." Dr Ward told her and pulled back the curtain and left. Kennedy laid back on the bed, tears streaming down her cheeks and Aria pulled the hair from her face. Just then Spencer pushed the stroller over with Syd, Ry and Cal trailing her.

"So what did he say?" Spencer asks when he noticed the tear stained face of her niece.

"He says he doesn't think it's just a sprain" Aria says obviously worried.

"I'm sorry Ellie, I didn't mean to push u, I was just so mad." Rylie tells Kennedy then kisses her cheek and holds her free arm.

Aria and Spencer watched the exchange between the two girls. "It's ok Ry I understand, he hit Callie and you were just trying to defend her." Kennedy tells her softly and holds her hand.

"So you were saying" Spencer says after the exchange.

"Oh right, he ordered her some pain medication and he's going to do an x-ray on the arm.

"Ok I'm going to take the kids up to Hanna's room and you guys can just come when you are done. Come on Rylie we are going up to see your mom, you can tell her all about how you got that split lip." Spencer calls.

"Ok thanks Spence" Aria tells her then sat in the seat by the bed as the nurse finally came with the pain medicine Dr Ward had ordered.

Almost an hour later Dr Ward finally returned telling Aria they will be taking Kennedy to do her x-ray. Just under 15 later the x-ray was completed and Kennedy returned to the ER.

"So it's definitely not a sprain, however she does have a dislocation and a minor fracture" Dr Ward explained.

"Ok so what does that mean now?"

"Well we are going to have to reset the wrist and she'll have to get a cast put on."

"Ok"

"However, the thing is because Kennedy is only 7, in order to reset her wrist we are going to have to put her under general anaesthesia, so we are going to have to do it in an operating room. I've already booked one and it should be ready in the next half an hour." Dr Ward informed Aria to which she nodded. "Don't worry though it will take less than an hour and we'll put the cast on at the same time. So Kennedy what is your favourite colour?"

"Pink" Kennedy replied with a small smile.

"Ok I'll see you in a couple minutes. I'm going to go find the pink casting material." She nodded.

…..

Several hours later Aria was happy to be home. They had stopped and gotten take out on their way home and while they waited on Ezra who would be home in a couple minutes Aria allowed the kids to watch a little TV while she gave Emily and Jackson their baths. When she was finished Ezra still hadn't got home so she took Syd and Kennedy for their baths then Callie and Rylie. Just when she had gotten them unto their PJs and back into the living room she heard the front door open and Ezra walked in.

"Daddy's home" Ezra announced to which he was met with screams of excitement from all the kids including Emily, Callie and Rylie.

"Daddy did you bring me anything?" Kennedy asks and Ezra noticed the bright pink cast on her arm and picked her up.

"Ellie what happened to your arm?" He asks in fake surprise

"I fell on it. The doctor says I disolate it and it's fractured" Ezra smiled at her massacre of the word dislocated.

"Really?" He asks and she nodded. He then put her back down and greeted the rest of the kids and then Aria. "I see you had a long day, sorry I wasn't here to come and help you." He whispered to her before kissing her on the lips.

During dinner they got the full story about what happened at the day-care after which Aria and the kids all went to the living room to watch a movie while Ezra cleaned up at his insistence. When he finished the dishes he found the kids were all quietly watching the movie while Aria was lying on the couch asleep with Emily asleep against her chest and Kennedy on her lap. At the sight Ezra took and his phone and snapped a photo.

"Ok ladies time to brush your teeth and head to bed" Ezra informed and they all groaned then did as they were told. Aria woke up when she felt Ezra lift Kennedy off her.

"Oh hey babe" She smiled up at him.

"Hey I'll supervise the brushing of teeth while you put Em down ok?" She nods

Bedtime was smooth, the easiest bedtime since the accident Ezra thought as he too got ready for bed. After both him and Aria had completed their bedtime routine and were in bed he turned to her.

"So what are we going to do about our little Mohammed Ali?" Ezra laughs

Aria shakes her head "I have no clue. What do you think her punishment should be?"

"I don't know, how about she loses TV and games for two days?"

"Just two days? Don't you think that's too short?"

"She was just looking out for her sister plus she did say she didn't mean to get so mad. I just think she's angry about her parents still being in the hospital and then the kid hit Callie and she just snapped."

"Yea that's what the daycare director said too. Well I guess two days is fine but we have to explain to her that this can't happen again."

Ezra nods in agreement. "Ok goodnight sweetheart."

"Goodnight Ezra" She then kisses him before laying her head on his shoulders, closing her eyes and falling followed soon after by Ezra.

….

Please don't forget to leave a review. Let me know what you think, let me know what you want to see and what you didn't like. Next chapter will get back to Hanna and the medical stuff. I'm sorry if you think Caleb is not in it but as he is still in a coma apart from the girls and Hanna wanting to see him his progress will remain the same while I continue to have my internal struggle about whether or not he'll wake up. Please feel free to share your opinions on that, right now the scales are balanced so it could go either way. Also i'll like to apologize once more for the long wait. I promise I'll try to update more often.

Thanks guys.
