Ive got a surprise for Lizzie!
The other four guardians sat in the hospital room with Jack. They waited. Silently for a movement, a sound, a hope. Machines beeped and buzzed. North stood in the doorway and Tooth sat in a chair next to the bed with about five fairies fluttering around her head. Even Bunny was there, he leaned against the wall next to the bed. Sandy sat on the floor with his legs crossed meditating.
Jack leaned against the wall across from the bed. Silently praying that she would wake up. After they took the glass out of her abdomen Jack tried to put her light back in but it just stayed in his hand. Jamie and Sophie were in another room tending to any fractures or breaks.
"Oh thank god!" Yelled Tooth.
Jack looked up and his heart stopped. Lizzie was sitting up and embracing Tooth who was crying into Lizzie shoulder. Lizzie looked a little better. The circles Under her eyes weren't as noticeable and her burns started to heal. North walked up and wrapped his arms around both Lizzie and Tooth and then Sandy joined in on the hug. Bunny remained on the wall, a furious look on his face.
Jack walked over to Lizzie holding the light in his hand and staff in the other, he cleared his throat to get attention. The guardians looked up at him and smiled as they broke the hug and went back to their respected areas. Before Jack could say a word Lizzie had him wrapped tight in a huge hug. He hesitated and then returned the hug.
*knock knock*
"Am I interrupting something?"
Lizzie and Jack broke the hug and everyone looked at the doorway. It was a man In a black suit. He wore glasses that rested at the tip of his nose and he carried a briefcase.
Jack quickly shoved the light in his jacket pocket and leaned the staff against the wall.
"I believe you are Elizabeth Keagan are you not?" Said the man
"Yes that's me, who are you?" She asked.
"I am Ms. Bennett's lawyer, John Burns. It seems she has left you some very special things for you in her will." He said as he sat down in a chair and patted his briefcase as if it were a dog.
"And what are these things?" Asked Jack.
The lawyer opened up his briefcase and pulled out a fat Manila envelope with 'Susan Bennett's will' written in sharpie. He fingered through the papers as the guardians were itching to see what she would get.
"Ah! Here we are! Now, it says here. 'For when I, Susan Marie Bennett am deceased, I give Elizabeth Keagan full and complete custody of my children, Sophie Katherine Bennett and Jamie Thomas Bennett.'
"WHAT?!" Everyone screamed especially Lizzie. After that there was silence, nothing but complete silence that screamed shock at the same time.
"Well how fun! You get the kids!" Exclaimed the lawyer with sarcastic excitement. All eyes shifted toward Lizzie.
