Chapter Three
It was early morning when Clara woke up in a strange room, she starts crying as she was scared but then sensed movement near her.
Sitting up Virgil gentle held Clara's hand. "Shhh….. it's ok Clara your in the medical room, you had a fit"
She turns to look at her daddy and let him dry her eyes, she stayed quite as she didn't talk much after having a fit.
The tests came back and Brains walked over and says with a stutter. "The re…..sults have come b……..back, Clara has epilepsy"
Looking worriedly at Clara then to Brains. "Does Clara need medication?"
Nodding and handing Virgil the medication, Brains replies. "Yes she does, but once a day"
Virgil understood and decided to look at both Clara's and Emily's file, he didn't want any more unpleasant surprises. He discovered that Emily had asthma and needed a inhaler. After tests and staying in the medical room for a few days, Clara started feeling better and was back to her herself.
Right now the girls decided to prank their father, they sneak into his room and Clara picked up the hairdryer.
Scott was walking past when he saw his nieces, who were looking for something in their fathers room.
He walked in and raised his eyebrow in a curious way. "Girls what are you doing in your daddy's room?"
Looking at their uncle Scott sheepishly, Clara answers. "We want to prank daddy and thought we could take the fuse out of the hairdryer"
He couldn't help but smile at his nieces, Scott removed the fuse safely. He took Emily and Clara to their room, waiting for when Virgil tried to use his hairdryer.
After having a shower and getting dried and dressed, Virgil went to dry his hair but nothing happened.
Looking at the hairdryer he says. "Why don't you work?"
Both Clara and Emily poked their around the door, seeing their daddy looking at his hairdryer funny. They couldn't help but giggle as their daddy's hair looked like he put his finger in a plug socket, it was spiked up in different directions.
Hearing his daughters giggling, he turns to see them by his bedroom door.
He asked them. "Clara, Emily do you know why daddy's hairdryer doesn't work?"
Both girls mischievously grin at their father, Scott was also chuckling at Virgil and took a photo of him.
While Emily hides behind her uncles legs, Clara was still grinning.
Smiling at her daddy still, Clara held the fuse up from the plug. "We had help to take the fuse from the plug….. pranking you was my idea"
He couldn't believe that his daughters were pranksters, he smiles at them shaking his head.
After giving her father the fuse back, Virgil put it back in the plug and after he dried his hair.
Walking into the living room Virgil sees everyone laughing and that Scott had taken a photo of Virgil, with his hair that looked like he put his finger in plug socket.
Shaking his head Virgil sat down, he called his girls over to have a talk with them. Once they were sat on either side of their father, they both look up at their daddy.
Virgil wasn't telling off, he was just worried. "Emily, Clara promise me you won't do something like that again, I don't want anything to happen to either of you"
Nodding Emily replies. "Yes daddy I promise"
Smiling at Emily he kisses the top of her head, he watched as she went over to Scott who was showing her some photos.
Looking to Clara as she hadn't said anything yet, Virgil waited till she was looking at him. But still she kept looking at her hands and made no move.
He waited patiently for her to look at him, but Clara refused to look at her daddy.
He sighs. Clara look at me"
She looked at her daddy with a look that shows her with no emotions, it wasn't good and Virgil was worried and concerned at where the look came from.
He hopes that he can get though to her. "Clara I'm not telling you off, I'm just concerned that you and your sister might get hurt"
She still didn't say anything, Clara got off the sofa and went to hers and her sisters room. Once in the bedroom Clara went into the closet, then she closed door. She sat down hugging her legs to her chest and cried. She was remembering everything that her mother did to her .
Back in the living room Virgil was shock and concerned about Clara.
He stands up. "I better go and find Clara"
He left and went into his daughters room first, once Virgil was in the room he could hear crying. Listening to cry's and he followed the cry, he open the closet door and sees his little girl with a hurt and haunted look.
He sits down and looks to Clara. "Clara it's going to be ok"
She looks up and through her tears, she sees her father. "Daddy……. I'm sorry"
She crawls and sits on her daddy's lap. Virgil wrapped his arms around his little girl, he lets he let everything out that she had suppressed.
He rubs soothing circles on her back and says. "Shhh….. it's going to ok, I don't want you bottling up how you feel"
She nods and looked up at her daddy. "Daddy my head hurts and I feel sick"
He wasn't surprised that Clara's head hurt, but he didn't think that she would be feeling sick.
He looks down at Clara and kisses her on the top of her head. "I'm not surprised your head hurts, you have had an emotional overload"
As he stands up while holding Clara, she leans over and throws up. She stated crying as she never threw up before.
Her daddy had to call Scott to come to his girls room, Clara wouldn't let her daddy go. Once Scott got there he was asked to take Clara, she let her uncle Scott hold her.
Virgil left and returned a few minutes later, he cleaned up where Clara had threw up. Once he was done Virgil, went over to where Scott was sitting on the sofa with Clara sitting on his lap.
He sat down and moved some of Clara's hair out of her face, he put his hand on her forehead and noticed how warm she was.
He looks at Scott worriedly. "I think Clara has a fever"
Looking for Clara to Virgil, he replies. "You can give her liquid paracetamol for children, it will help bring down her fever"
Nodding Virgil got up and went into the bathroom, then he went into the cabinet and got the children's paracetamol. After he returned and gave some to Clara, he was worried about her.
She took it and swallowed the sweet raspberry liquid, she pulls a funny face after five minutes as it started tasting horrible. She crawled onto her fathers lap and started falling asleep.
Scott watched as Clara was falling asleep, he too was worried about Clara and Emily too.
Looking down at his daughter, Virgil smiles as Clara had fallen asleep and he was happy to stay holding his little girl as she slept.
Both brothers look to the door and see Emily walk in, she went and sat on her uncle Scott's lap and fell asleep too.
As there was no rescue call outs, Virgil and Scott were happy to chat while both girls slept peacefully. Virgil knew it won't be easy to raise his little girls alone, but he knew that he can count on his family to help him.
He couldn't wait to see what else he will learn about his daughters.
