Once Upon A Straight Tequila Night
Ch 60 - Aaron Is Released From Hospital
Penelope's POV
I open my eyes and smile as I see Derek playing with Aaron, they both look up at me and smile, I run my hand over Aarons little head and say, "hi baby boy, are you ok this morning"?, he looks at me and waves as he continues to play with his blocks. I yawn and say, "good morning hot stuff", he winks at me and says, "morning baby girl, how did you sleep"?, she smiled and said, "good, real good, I'm just glad that we get to take Aaron home today".
A few minutes later they all look up to see the doctor walking into the room, he grinned and said, "how is everybody this morning"?, Derek girns his Derek Morgan grin and says, "doing good, just getting excited about getting to take our baby home today. The doctor smiled and said, "I need to talk to you about Aaron", I felt my heart beating faster and faster.
I say, "talk to us about what, what's wrong, is he worse"?, the doctor smiled and said, "ohhhhh no, no he isn't worse I just want to let you know that Aaron will probably have trouble hearing especially in that one ear, but soon the paper patch will start helping with that. Derek said, "is he going to be alright doctor", he smiled and said, "in most cases the child heals completely but he will be extremely susceptible to ear infections so you need to keep a close eye on him and if you even suspect that he is getting an ear infection, take him to his doctor immediately".
Both Derek and I nod our heads and say, "we will doctor and thanks for everything", he picks up Aarons chart and says, "his temp is normal and I am going to send him home today but just make sure that he finishes his antibiotics and take him to his doctor by Friday for a check up". I smile and say, "we will", he looks at Aaron and says, "you are a very lucky little boy, you have a great mommy little man".
I smile and said, "I can't believe that I didn't notice the problem", the doctor put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Mrs Morgan you did all you could do, when his fever spiked and he took the seizure, you got him medical attention immediately and that is what he needed". Derek smiled and said, "she thinks that she is a bad mom because she couldn't prevent it".
He said, "this can't be prevented, it just happens, but now Aaron has the patch in there and that will help heal the perforation, just make sure he takes his meds and that he sees his doctor regularly". He smiles and says, "I am going to go sign his release papers and then you will be free to go", Aaron watches as the doctor leaves, he smiles and squeals, "dadadadadadadadadadadad", Derek happily smiles and says, "dada is right here baby boy".
Derek's POV
I sit quietly playing with Aaron and his blocks, Penelope is finally sleeping, the last couple of days has been rough, Aarons temperature got as high as 103 but is now back to normal. I can't wait to take him home today, I hear Penelope moving around on the bed, me and Aaron look up and smile at her, she grins and says, "hi baby boy, are you feeling ok this morning", he continues to play with his blocks, stoping long enough to wave at her before continuing to play with his blocks.
Penelope yawns and says, "good morning hotstuff", I wink at her and say, "morning baby girl, how did you sleep"?, she smiled and said, "good, real good, I'm just glad that we get to take Aaron home today". A few minutes later they all look up to see the doctor walking into the room, he grinned and said, "how is everybody doing this morning"?, I smile and say, "doing good, just getting excited about getting to take our baby home today".

Penelope's POV
We smile as a few minutes later we are gathering our stuff and heading out of the room, Aaron looks up at me and says, "mamaaaaaaaa", I kiss his cheek and say, mama and daddy are right here and we are getting ready to take you home, would you like that"?, he claps his hands together and starts squealing. Derek kisses the top of my head and says, "I believe he is happy to be going home baby girl".
I grin and say, "have you heard anything from the team this morning"?, Derek grinned and said, "they were all here this morning while you were sleeping, they are all going to come over after work today and spend some time with all of us". I grin and say, "ya know we have an awesome family don't we hot stuff"?, Derek winks at me and says, "we sure do goddess, we sure do".
Around 30 minutes later we are heading out of the home that we have known for last 3 days, Aaron laughs happily as we head towards the car, I kiss the top of his head and say, "mommy and daddy love you soooooo much". Aaron cackles as Derek straps him into the backseat, I get in the car and buckle up, I look over my shoulder and say, "we're heading home baby boy", Derek starts the car and pulls out of the parking lot as Aaron jabbers in the back seat.
