Switched At Birth-Ch 3
The next 6 months flew by as Jamie grew like a little weed, she had everybody that met her wrapped around her little finger, she was the light of her mommy and daddys eye. Penelope was back to work and Fran was happily watching Jamie while her parents worked, she loved spending time with her granddaughter because that gave her more time to spoil the little bundle of joy.
Jamie had a doctors appointment and Penelope was going to meet them at the doctors office, she was just finishing up the search for B team when her personal cell started to ring. She saw, "FRAN" flashing on the ID, she said, "hey Fran, I was just getting ready to leave", Fran interrupted her and said, "honey you and Derek need to get to the ER as soon as you can".
Penelope stood up and grabbed her things and ran out of her office, she said, "why Fran, what's wrong, are you alright, is Jamie alright"?, Fran said, "we were about a mile from the hospital when this car came out of nowhere and side swiped us". Penelope felt her legs go weak and she said, "please tell me that Jamie isn't, that she isn't".
Fran said, "they have her in checking her out right now but you and Derek need to get here because they were talking about possible surgery and they are going to need your permission". Penelope said, "we'll be right there Fran and if they come out and tell you anything please call me", she said, "honey I will and I'm so so sorry".
Penelope said, "you didn't do anything wrong Fran, this is all on the person driving the other car", Fran said, "but", Penelope said, "no buts, this isn't your fault". Derek said, "what isn't who's fault"?, Penelope said, "grab your things we need to get to the hospital", Derek said, "why, what's wrong"?, Penelope said, "your mom and Jamie were on the way to the appointment and a car came out of nowhere and side swiped them and they are talking about surgery for Jamie".
Derek grabbed his coat and said, "pretty boy", Reid said, "go, go, we'll fill Hotch and Dave in and be right behind you", they nodded their heads yes as they ran toward the elevator. Fran said, "please be careful and I'll keep you updated", Penelope said, "we will and thanks Fran, thank you so much for everything you've done".
After the call ended Derek said, "how did momma sound",?, Penelope said, "scared to death", Derek said, "when I get my hands on the man that hit the car carrying my momma and my daughter I'll kill em". Penelope reached over and took her husband by the hand and said, "she's going to be fine, they both are, they have to be".
When they got to the hospital they ran inside and Fran motioned for them to come over, when they got there Fran said, "doctor these are Jamies parents Derek and Penelope Morgan". The doctor held out her hand and said, "Anna Bradshaw, I'm your daughters doctor", Penelope said, "how is Jamie"?, the doctor said, "we're getting ready to take her to the hospital, she's bleeding internally and we have to stop the bleeding".
Derek saw blood running down his mothers face and he said, "momma you're bleeding", she said, "don't worry about that, right now we need to focus on Jamie". Anna said, "Mrs. Rossi let's get your wounds cleaned up", Penelope said, "please Fran, please let them take care of you, Jamie loves you so much and we need you, we need you so much right now".
Fran hugged Derek and Penelope and said, "I'll be right back as soon as I can", Anna motioned for a nurse to come over and take Fran back and clean her wounds up. Derek said, "you said surgery, do you know how long it's going to take"?, she said, "sadly no, she's small and their is so much bleeding it's hard to tell how long it will take".
Penelope said, "is their anything we can do"?, she said, "yes, we need blood, our blood bank is getting low", Derek said, "of course we'll donate, we'll all donate". She said, "all"?, they looked around and saw the entire team running through the door, Penelope said, "this is our family, guys this is Jamies doctor".
Hotch said, "how is she"?, Anna said, "she's bleeding internally and we need to take her to surgery", Emily said, "is their anything we can do doctor"?, Penelope said, "their blood bank is running low". Dave said, "where's Fran"?, Derek said, "she's in the back getting cleaned up", he looked at the doctor and said, "how is my wife"?, Anna said, "I saw cuts and bruises, until we get her checked out I'm not sure what else is going on with her".
Derek said, "where do we go to give blood"?, Anna said, "Tonya can you take these nice people to the blood bank, they want to donate"?, she smiled and said, "sure thing, please follow me". Anna put her hand on Daves shoulder and said, "by the time you get back we'll hopefully know more about your wife and granddaughter".
She then looked at Derek and Penelope and said, "we need your signature before we can do the surgery", Derek looked at Penelope and she quickly nodded her head yes. Derek signed his name and said, "please keep us informed", Anna said, "don't worry I'll send somebody out every little bit to let you know how things are going".
Derek, Penelope and the others nodded their heads in agreement before they followed Tonya toward the blood bank so they could give blood to possibly be able to help Jamie.
