a/n- okay. So I got a legit excuse for not updating this. First semester at college. I'm pretty sure we all (or at least the ones that have past the first semester at college point) and how hard the adjustment is and the work and everything but I'm bored in my room bc both of my roommates aren't here right now so I figured I would update some of my stories so here's the update for this story! READ AND REVIEW!
"Gotte?" Danny said to her as they were in the car on the way to the hospital (the same one that her mother is currently in). He waited to speak again until she looked up at him. Once she did, he continued on with talking, "I'm not gonna say that I know what kind of pain you're going through or how hard it was for you to walk away from that locker room but that was a smart move. You know how I told you and your ma about when I shattered my wrist and my chance at playing in the majors during the minors?" he asked her. When she nodded at him, he finished with, "well if that's the same thing for you with your knee, it is NOT the end of your world. I know its your dream to either play field hockey or softball in college when you get there but maybe this is a sign that there is something greater out in the world for you. Maybe this is the universe saying that there is something better that you can be doing when you get to that point. Don't look at this part of your life as an inconvenience or a sign of weakness. I know how hard it is to walk away from something like this but knowing that you're walking away from this now is better then going right back into sports with a messed up knee and re-injuring it and never being able to do anything again. But if you can play again, your mother and I will be there every step of the way to your recovery. I promise you that. We'll never let you down. We both love you too much to do that." He finished his speech and he's pretty sure that if he wasn't driving right now that Gotte would be hugging him hard.
"Thanks Danny, that means a lot to me." Gotte replied back. And the rest of the car ride was spent in silence with a few tears and sniffles coming from Gotte because of the pain that she was in.
When they finally did get to the hospital, all Gotte wanted was some painkillers and the answer of if she was going to be able to play field hockey or softball again. When the finally got to the hospital, Danny parked at the side of the hospital that was closest to the emergency room so Gotte wouldn't have to walk far. He asked her if she was in a lot of pain to walk (hobble because of the crutches) to the emergency room doors. When he realized that she hadn't answered, he turned around to look at her. The pain became too much for her and she had passed out quietly and Danny hadn't realized it.
He jumped out of the car and ran towards the doors of the ER and yelled, "HELP! I NEED HELP GETTING MY DAUGHTER IN HERE! SHE PASSED OUT FROM THE PAIN IN THE CAR!" when the words 'passed out' came from Danny, doctors and nurses jumped into action. They grabbed a gurney and headed out to his car. He started explaining everything that happened to her. Once they got her out of the car and situated on the gurney, they started rushing back into the ER they set her up and started asking Danny millions of questions that to him seemed like the hardest thing in the world. Like seriously, how was he supposed to know when she had her period last!
"I don't know about that last one, but she's allergic to penicillin/amoxicillin and berries. That's about as much as I know. I'm not her father, I'm engaged to her mother and she's admitted in the hospital on floor 5. But in the case that her mother, Lindsay Monroe can't be here, I hold medical power of attorney of Gotte in case of an emergency. She's had previous knee problems before but never anything like this. It was like all in slow motion that it happened. It was too late for Gotte to stop or move out of the way before the girl tackled her. I've never seen her in this kind of pain before. The trainer that was there that helped us said that it could possibly be her ACL. Will she be able to play again! She's gonna be so upset if she can't play again! Please she hasn't woken up yet! Do something!" he screamed that last part.
"Mr. Messer! I can't do anything for her until you calm down and get out of our way. You either need to calm down or I'm gonna have to have security escort you to the waiting room!" when the doctor saw Danny calming down, he continued, "I'm gonna have to send her up for an x-ray and possibly an MRI if we need too. Now I need you to fill out some forms for me while we try and get her set up with an IV of pain killers and anti-inflammatory." He handed Danny the papers and got to work working on Gotte. "Oh, by the way Mr. Messer, what's her real name? I can't imagine any mother naming her daughter Gotte, no offense to her mother."
"Her real name is Rhiannon Monroe, Gotte is her nick name." Danny replied and went to work on the paper work.
After filling out all of Gotte's paperwork, Danny was told that she had been taken up for a MRI and it would be about a half a hour until Danny would be able to see her so he decided to take this time to go up to see Lindsay. He knew that Flack was still with her from the numerous text messages that he sent to him saying that Lindsay was still asleep with the Field Hockey finals still on the TV so he went up to see Lindsay.
By the time that he got up to her room, all he wanted to do was sit with her and hold her hand. At this point, it was the only thing that would make him feel better. Once he got to the room he shook hands with Don and then went to sit next to his fiancé. He picked up her hand and as he did that, he thought he heard a moan but he couldn't be sure. He knew that he was stressing with Gotte and thought it was just his ears playing tricks on him. What he didn't expect was for Lindsay to grip his hand and start moving her arm. When he looked up to her face, her eyes started to slowly open up her eyes.
"Danny?" Lindsay muttered softly.
"Lindsay? You're awake? Hold on, let me go get a doctor." Danny said and before he even gave her a chance to say anything else, he was out the door looking for her doctor.
