Chapter 11.
Jill was looking out of the window. She saw the streets of Jakarta. She saw people walking, driving, jogging, biking. She saw how people stopped and talked to each other. She smiled when she saw some dogs playing. She was so happy to be safe. She and all her co-workers had been taken to a hospital in Jakarta after being stabilized in a hospital in Labuan. She was now laying in a private room, awaiting the results of the CT-scan. As soon as they came back clear, they would give her something to eat, and she was looking very much forward to that. She put her hands over her stomach as it rolled over again, making a sound.
She heard a slight knock on the door and turned her head over there, and she smiled as she watched her sister walk in through the door, followed by Sabrina, Bosley and Kelly, who were carrying Ella. They quickly surrounded Jill, Kris sat down in her bed on her right side, Kelly and Sabrina on her left side and Bosley by her feet. Jill looked up at Kris.
"How's the others?" She asked worried.
"Don't worry. Jess' ankle is broken so they're putting a cast on it, but she should be fine within a few weeks, they don't think there will be any complications. Anna have three broken ribs and she's been all taped up and given painkilling. And they've given John antibiotics and they are trying to bring his fever down, but the doctor's are positive he'll recover. The others has been looked over, but they're all fine."
Jill let out a sigh of relief and leaned back against the pillows. Kris took her hand and squeezed it.
"Jill? How are you feeling?"
"Stop worrying, I'll be fine. I'm just very dizzy and very tired."
"Mommy says that if you're tired you should sleep."
Jill opened her eyes and looked up at the little girl in Kelly's arms, and she couldn't help but smile. The little girl looks so much like Kelly. And she just as wise as her. Even if they're not blood related - if Kelly would ever get a daughter of her own, she would definitely be a dead ringer to Ella, Jill was positive of that. Memories of the first meeting between herself and Ella came to Jill's mind.
"Welcome home!"
Jill happily hugged Sabrina, Bosley, Kris and Kelly. Behind Kelly's legs a little girl were standing, holding a tight grip around Kelly's thigh with one arm, and holding a ragdoll close to her chest with her other arm. She was looking at Jill with big, brown eyes, and as Jill hunched down so she came in the same eye level as the girl, Ella gave her a smile.
"Are you aunt Kris's sister?" She asked and Jill nodded.
"Yes, I am."
"Does that mean you're also an aunt?"
Jill looked up at Kelly who were grinning from ear to ear, and nodding as she met Jill's eyes.
"Yes, I'm your aunt."
Ella let go of Kelly's thigh and gave Jill a close hug. Jill could actually hear the crowd around them smile, and Jill lifted up the little girl as she rose to her feet. Ella turned backwards and faced her mother. Kelly took the girl from Jill, and Ella leaned forward and whispered something in her ear. Kelly smiled even more widely.
"I do too sweetie. Now, go and play."
Kelly put down the smiling girl, and she ran off into the living room in Kris house.
"What did she tell you?" Jill asked with her eyebrows together, but a smile on half her face.
"She said she likes you."
"She's fantastic Kelly."
"I was lucky to find her."
"And she was lucky to find you." Bosley added.
"Jill?"
Jill came back to reality when Bosley nudged her leg.
"Sure you're okay?" Sabrina asked and Jill smiled.
"Just dizzy." She smiled shortly and then faced the little girl again. "Well, maybe I should try to get some sleep then."
"Sounds like a good idea. We'll wake you up when you get the test results back." Kris said, and helped her sister to get comfortable in the bed.
Kris and the rest of the stayed in Jill's room while waiting for the doctor. About an hour had passed when the door suddenly opened and Justin looked in.
"Hey… How is she?"
"We're waiting for the CT scan, but she's just dizzy and tired."
Justin nodded and smiled towards them.
"You're Justin, right?" Kris asked, and he nodded.
"Yeah. Justin Hanson."
"And you're the manager?"
He smiled and nodded.
"Yeah."
"How are the others?" Bosley asked.
"John's still having a fever, but they have confirmed that he has dengue fever. He should be fine within a week or two. The others have been released, they are all in John's room."
There was a slight nod on the door before it opened, and the doctor walked in, holding some files. They all looked at him, and he gave them all a reassuring smile.
"Everything looks quite good. There's some slight swelling around the brain, so we'll give her some prescriptions of cortisone. She'll experience some headache, dizziness and some nausea, but she'll be fine within a week or two. I've also written some prescriptions for some painkilling to the headache." The doctor smiled and handed Kris some papers. "That's the prescriptions, some papers that you can show at the airport to make sure you can transfer the medicine through the customs, and release papers. I want you or your sister to fill them in, and then she's free to go when she wakes up. There's a wheelchair just outside the room, hospital policy to be driven out. Or to your other friends room if she want to go there instead."
"Thank you doctor."
The doctor smiled one more time before he left the room.
"Well, I'll get back to the others and tell them the news about Jill. We're in 602 if she wants to join us."
"Great. We'll see you later."
