Chapter Five

Joey looked at Helga and he said, "Tell me about your other children please." Roland smiled and said, "Bakura is 18, Marik is 17, Yami is 16, they're cousins, then Ishizu is 15, Mai is 14, Tea is 13, Seto is 12, Yugi, Ryou and Malik are triplets and they are 8, Serenity is 7 and our youngest is Mokuba he's 6, he is also Seto's younger brother."

Helga smiled at Joey and she said, "Roland's 45 and as for me, well it's not nice to ask a woman her age, but just between you and me, I'm 42." Joey giggled and that was music to their ears, then he said, "Do they know what happened to me?"

Roland then said, "The oldest ones do, but as for the younger ones, well all they know is that you were hurt and that you might need a place to live." "What if they ask me, what do I do them?" Joey wanted to know.

Helga then said, "Hon, that's up to you if you tell them." Joey closed his eyes and said, "I'm afraid to go to sleep, I keep having nightmares about my dad beating me."

This angered them both, knowing that this bastard is still out there somewhere, but Helga knew that when her brothers got there, the son-of-a-bitch would pay and pay dearly for what he did.

Just then, a voice comes over the intercom, "Visiting hours are over, will you please leave the hospital." Joey started breathing erratic and he started to cry, "He'll find me, he'll find me." Was all he kept saying.

Helga sat beside him on the bed, put her arm around him and softly said, "I'm here, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Joey started to calm down, then through his tears he said, "But you have to go, what about if he finds me in the middle of the night, what do I do then?"

Roland looked at her, she nodded, and then Roland said, "Helga is going to stay with you, now dry your tears and I'll see you both in the morning." He then kissed Joey's cheek and gave her a kiss and then he left to go home.

After Roland left he went to the Nurses station and asked if they'd page Dr. Talbert. The Nurse smiled and told him, "Dr. Talbert will be here soon." When Jeff saw Roland he smiled and said, "What can I do for you?" Roland then said, "Helga is going to be staying with Joey, he's the young boy in room 435."

Jeff then turned to and looked at the Nurses and he said, "Mrs. O'Brien will be staying in room 435." The Nurses all nodded their heads, then Roland said, "I'd better get home, my kids will be sending out the goon squad if I'm any later."

Joey said, "I'm just a cry baby, daddy was right." Helga hugged him and said, "Listen to me, hell if what happened to you happened to me I'd cry too, now I want you to lay your head down, I'm going to teach you a bedtime prayer that I taught all my kids, they say it everynight and it helps." This is what she said:

Sleep Prayer

Dear God,
As I turn off the light,
please be with me.
Help me to get to sleep,
and please give me good dreams.
Amen.

Joey listened to her voice and soon he fell fast asleep, and Helga gave him a kiss, she put the covers over him and then she got down on her knees and prayed, "Our heavenly father, please give this poor young boy your love and strength to be able to find the demons that are plaguing his young mind. Amen."

She got up off the floor and then there on the other side of the bed appeared the glowing orb, tears filled Helga's eyes and she saw how tenderly the light from the orb touched Joey's body.

When the light disappeared, she heard, "It'll take time for his mind to heal, but with the love from you, your husband and children, he'll soon get better and the dreams will soon fade away."

Then the orb just vanished, Helga sat down on the chair, and as she closed her eyes, she heard, Joey's voice say:

Dear God,
As I turn off the light,
please be with me.
Help me to get to sleep,
and please give me good dreams.
Amen.

Tears ran down her face as she heard his voice ask God to protect him, she knew that soon he would be living with his new family and they'd all make sure that nothing hurt him ever again.

Helga got up and walked over by the door, took out her cell phone and called home, when Roland answered and heard her voice, he said, "Is everything alright?"

At the Manor:

She said, "Everything's fine, I just called to tell our childern good-night." He loved her more everyday, he then said, "I'll let the kids know that their mom wants to talk to them." She smiled as she heard Bakura in the background saying, "Let the young ones go first."

After she said goodnight to all the kids, Roland said, "How are you doing?" She said, "I want to kill that bastard for what he did, but since I can't then I'll make damn sure that Joey will never have anything to fear again in his life." Roland then said, "Babe, I've got to go, mother nature calls."

She laughed and said, "I'll call you in the morning, Ro, I love you." Just before he hung up he said, "Love you too." Then as he put the phone down, he made a mad dash to the bathroom.

Helga laughed as she sat back down, she looked at Joey lying there and a tear ran down her face as she thought of all the other children out there being abused daily and no one was there to stop it.

At the Hospital:

Just then, she heard Joey whimpering and she reached through the rail, put her hand on his and whispered, "Mom's here baby, go back to sleep." Several times during the night, Joey would have a dream, and Helga was there to help make it go away.

The next morning when Joey opened his eyes he looked around and he saw Helga asleep in the chair beside the bed, he smiled and then he closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

The Nurse came in and she said, "I have to take his vitals." Helga smiled and said, "I'm going to go get something to drink, I'll be right back."

When she left the room, standing at the Nurses station was a man and he was asking about a young boy who was brought to his hospital, he wanted to know where the boy was.

Helga turned around and went back into the room, went over to the Nurse and whispered to her, "Call Dr. Talbert, I think that the man who abused Joey is out at the station."

Jeff's phone went off and when he looked, it was an emergency 911, he got into his car and sped to the hospital, as he drove, he called Roland and said, "Somethings wrong, I got an emergency call from the Nurses station on the fourth floor."

Roland dropped the phone, ran downstairs, and said, "Bakura, Marik and Yami come with me, I think that mom's in trouble, and Ishizu take care of the little ones."

They ran outside, got into the Hummer and Roland sped to the hospital, when they got there, they all ran up the stairs and when they got to the fourth floor, security had a man in custody.

The man had a broken nose, his mouth was bleeding and standing beside the door that Joey was in was Helga, looking like she could kill someone, Roland let out the breathe he was holding and said to the boys, "Looks like mom has it covered."

Bakura, Marik and Yami started to laugh but the look from their mom stopped them, and then she said, "Who's with the young one?" Roland laughed and said, "Ishizu is, now what in the hell went on here?"

The door to the room opened and Jeff came out and he said, "That man tried to break into the room, then all hell broke out, Helga turned and she started beating the hell out of that man, I called security and well you know the rest."

Helga had turned and went into the room, she walked over to Joey who was curled into a ball whimpering, he's mad, he's mad."

She went over and sat down next to him, took him into her arms and said, "You're coming home with us today, lets get you dressed, Roland's waiting outside with our three oldest sons."
