A/N- Thanks for all the reviews last chapter :) and to the user who suggested Erin having another kid, I would consider that but not until Emi is at least a year or older :) So I finally updated less than a week after the previous update! lol its only cause I'm not so busy today and in the writing mood. Enjoy this chapter :)
Erin woke up abruptly after a vivid dream of falling, she immediately glances over at Emi who is still peacefully sleeping. She noticed Jay wasn't in the room anymore, she reaches for her glass of water and notices a note next to it. 'Ran home quickly to get Em a fresh change of clothes when she gets out of the hospital. Also getting both of us a fresh change of clothes. Love Jay'
Erin smiles at the note and brings it over to Emi.
"Daddy went to get you some fresh clothes sweetie, he'll be back soon I promise." Erin says quietly, she gently runs her hand over Emi's short hair before kissing her forehead.
"Hey how's she doing?" Jay asks, he looked as if he'd ran here instead of driving.
"The same, I was just telling her how you went to get her some clothes." Erin sighs. Jay sets the diaper bag on the windowsill then takes a seat next to Erin.
"You should get a little break, maybe a walk down to the cafeteria would do us both some good. Em is stable, and sitting here for two days straight can't be emotionally healthy for you." Jay suggests out of concern. Erin almost immediately said no but after a look at Emi and thinking it over she decided 20 minutes would be alright.
"Okay, but I'm not staying any longer than 20 minutes." Jay smiles lightly and walks with her outside the room. They had almost bumped into the nurse as they exited the room, the nurse let them know he was just checking in on Emi. Erin and Jay stayed while the nurse took more vitals and checked on her.
"Good news is her temperature is almost back to normal, her breathing is still a little off but with more medication and rest hopefully she pulls through. I'll let doctor Kutcher know. You two have a little fighter on your hands." He says with a smile which allows Erin and Jay to let out a sigh of relief.
"Still 20 minute limit?" Jay asks.
"Yup" Erin replies quickly.
Erin practically inhaled her food while Jay took his time. She finished when Jay was only halfway done.
"You take forever to eat you know that?" Erin tells him whilst tapping her fingers on the table.
"Erin, you heard that nurse. She'll be okay. You can relax just a little bit" Jay replies.
"Jay do not tell me to relax! I will not relax until my daughter is back at home being the same bubbly girl she always is. Don't EVER tell me to relax in a time like this." Erin snaps. Jay was taken aback by her response but he understood it so he shut his mouth.
"I'm sorry, I'm on edge." Erin quickly apologizes. Jay nods as he chews his food, you could tell he was trying to rush.
"We've been in this damn hospital for three days Jay, why can't we just take her home and care for her there? I don't know how much longer I wanna be stuck in here." Erin sighs once again getting impatient.
"Erin they're just doing their job, in the end we'll be glad she stayed and got the treatment she needed." Jay soothes. He was always able to say the right thing to calm Erin down and get her to think rationally.
"Ready to go back up?" Jay asks. Erin nods fast and shoots up out of her seat.
As she makes her way out of the cafeteria she bumps into Lacy and Travis, the couple from the pregnancy class.
"Oh wow it's been a long time since we've seen you!" Lacy comments.
"Yes it certainly has. What are you guys doing here?" Erin asks trying not to sound nosy.
"My mother had a heart attack so we're here with her for a few days." Lacy explains.
"Oh I hope she gets better soon. How's your daughter?" Erin asks.
"Oh Penny? She's doing fine, she's upstairs with my father. We came down here for some food. What are you guys doing here?"
"Um our daughter caught pneumonia, she's been here for the past few days." Erin replies.
"Oh my gosh poor thing! Is she okay?" Lacy asks. Travis was just standing there quietly, occasionally looking at Lacy.
"Yes she's okay, we were just heading back up." Erin explains.
"Well we'll have to have the girls get together soon. What's your cell so I can give you a call?" Lacy asks, taking out her phone. Erin gives her cell number then puts Lacy's number in her own phone.
"It was nice seeing you, we'll catch ya later!" Lacy says and walks further into the cafeteria. Both Erin and Jay rush up to the room, Emi was awake and looking around the room. Her face brightens up when Erin and Jay appear.
"Little Munchkin is awake! Hello baby girl" Erin coos and smiles at Emi. Emi reaches her hands out to Erin, but Erin knows she can't lift her up just yet so she lets Emi hold onto her finger.
A/N- So Lacy and Travis are back! I plan on having little play dates with Penny, Emi and Tyler in a few more chapters. Hopefully y'all like this chapter :)
