Eve tried to calm down as Jonah came in to the office. He ran over to his sister and tried to talk to her. Eve was crying too hard to answer. Cat went over to him and told him what happened. Jonah couldn't believe his ears. He tried to run to catch Jade but Tori and Cat held him back. Eve finally calmed down and Andre let her go.
"I'm so sorry guys, the first time you guys come here and I end up a wreck."
"Hey it was Jade's fault not yours. Come on, let's go on the terrace and get some fresh air." Beck suggested. "By the way, I broke up with Jade." Everyone looked shocked but just shrugged it off.
"So, Eve, how old is Sarah?" Tori asked changing the subject.
"Only three and she's so cute." Eve went back into the office and took the picture of Maggie's daughter off the desk and brought it out to show the gang who they would be watching the next day. "Here she is on her third birthday." Cat took the picture and awed.
"AWWW! SHE SO CUTE!" Cat cooed as Tori took the picture and smiled.
"I have to agree with Cat on this." Everyone agreed that Sarah was cute. Eve called Maggie once more to make sure that everything was okay for tomorrow and it was. After everyone left and Eve and her family had dinner, she went upstairs to relax and sleep. She was able to sleep in since the next day was Saturday. She woke up to her cell phone ringing. She checked the caller id and groaned.
"You better have a good reason for waking me up at nine thirty on a Saturday morning, Brighton." Eve almost screamed into the phone.
"I do, Sarah's in the hospital." That got Eve's attention. She sprang up in bed, threw the covers off, and ran to her parents' room.
"MOM DAD!" Fran and Max woke up with a start and stared at Eve. "Brighton why is Sarah in the hospital." Max and Fran got up and started getting dressed as Eve ran toward her brother's room. "JONAH!" Jonah woke up just like his parents. "Sarah's in the hospital." Jonah moved faster than he ever had in his life. Eve got ready as she listened to Brighton.
"Maggie went to get her up and she was laying her bed not moving, not even breathing. Maggie called 9-1-1 and they brought her in. She called me as soon as got off the phone with the ambulance. Eve, it doesn't look good, they think she might…" Brighton couldn't even finish his sentence.
NO! Brighton, don't think like that. Her grandmother won't let her die. She's strong just like her mother. Sarah's going to pull through this, do you hear me?" Eve said trying to keep her voice steady. The truth is she was mortified.
"Yeah, I hear you. You guys just better get down her fast. Maggie really needs mom and dad."
"Alright, we'll down as soon as we can." Eve said as she pulled on her jeans and ended the call. She met her family in the hallway and they raced to hospital. Eve texted everyone in the gang that they wouldn't be babysitting or rehearsing, she told them what happened and they all said they would be at the hospital. Eve told them they didn't have to but they insisted. Eve was looking through the window to Sarah's room when she felt a strong but gentle hand on her shoulder. Those arms had held her enough that she knew it was Andre. "Hey Andre." She said barely above a whisper.
"Hey, any news on her yet?" Eve shook her head. She wondered what was going on the Sarah's little head.
Little Sarah looked around but only saw white until a woman came into view. Sarah looked at her with confusion.
"Hello Sarah." Little Sarah backed up. "What's wrong?"
"My mommy says don't talk to strangers, I can't talk to you." The woman smiled. She knew that Maggie had taught this little girl well.
"Would it help if I told you my name?" L. Sarah nodded. "My name is Sarah."
"That's my name." L. Sarah said happily. The woman smiled.
"I know; you were named after me. I'm your mommy's mommy."
"But you died." Sarah nodded sadly. "Don't be sad, I don't mean to make you sad." Sarah looked at her granddaughter.
"I know, listen honey, you have to go back to your mommy and daddy. Everyone's waiting for you. Mommy, daddy, grandpa, grandma Fran, Aunt Eve, Uncle Brighton, Aunt Gracie, and Uncle Jonah. Do you think you can go back?" Sarah shook her head.
"I know I can go back. Just watch." With that Little Sarah disappeared. Maggie's mother smiled as she watched her granddaughter open her eyes in the hospital room and look around.
Sarah opened her eyes and smiled. Maggie took her hand kissed it while the tears poured down her face. Michael did the same with her other hand. Sarah looked at the foot of her bed and saw her grandpa and grandma Fran.
"Sarah was right. You are waiting for me." Maggie looked at her father who was smiling. "Mommy, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, sweetie, I'm just so happy that you're okay. Can you tell me what happened?" Sarah nodded.
"A woman came into my room and gave me a drink. I didn't want to drink it but she made me. It tasted funny and then I went to sleep."
"Do you remember what the woman looked like?" Eve asked as she came in with Beck, Andre, and Tori in tow. Sarah nodded.
"She had brown hair and wore dark clothes. She had colors in her hair." Eve's whole face became enraged. She grabbed Beck's cell phone from his jacket pocket and ran out of the hospital with Andre, Tori, and Beck following her. She went to his contacts and pressed send when she got to Jade's number.
"Hello Beck, having fun with Eve?"
"You listen and you listen well, you ever come near my niece again and I'll have you arrested. You could have killed her do you not get that? She's three years old and you could have killed her. Don't come near my family again, you bitch!" She hung up before Jade could say anything. She handed the phone back to Beck and turned to toward everyone. "She wants a war, well Jade West game on!"
