(Where we left off last time)

Kelly

I sat in the back seat next to Faith's car seat as Beyoncé drove.

"How's she doing?" Bey asked looking at me through the rear view mirror.

"I don't know!" I cried, honestly I really didn't know, " she's not crying but she's still super warm bey"

"Kelly I'm driving as fast as I can!"

"Then drive faster!"

"I'm trying!"

"Okay you two need to chill out! Okay, I know y'all are both worried about Faye, but let's not argue okay" Solange interjected from the passenger seat.

I exhaled. "I'm just worried about her"

"I know I am too" Beyoncé said.

About a couple minutes later we made it to the hospital.

"You two go, I'll find a parking spot" Solange said as I was already unbuckling Faith as we came to a stop.

Beyoncé and I rushed her inside. Bey ran ahead of me to the front desk.

"Hi, we need your help, our baby, she's burning up! We need to see a doctor"

"How high is her temp?" The front desk lady asks.

"Last time we checked it was almost 103" Bey answered and the women stood up almost immediately. She picked up the phone and told whoever the hell was on the other line to get a peds doctor down here now.

"Thank you"

The lady nodded at bey and bey turned towards me. I was now cradling Faith close to my chest and she clung to me.

"Bey I'm scared, this is bad, this is really bad" I said feeling myself start to cry.

"I know baby, I know" she patted my knee.

That's when almost a couple minutes later of waiting, a young lady who looked like a peds doctor came in to the lobby.

"Their over there" the front desk lady said pointing to Beyoncé and I.

The doctor came over to us. "Hi I'm doctor Price" she shook Beyoncés hand.

"Let's go in the back and see what the problem is" she said. We followed her to a more private room and I laid Faith on the examination table.

I took Beyoncé's hand into mine and squeezed it. The doctor did a check up on Faith. After a few seconds or so, she looked in both of faiths ears.

"Just as I thought" she said.

"What's wrong with her?" I asked way louder than I wanted to.

"It looks like the fever was probably brought on by an ear infection, in both ears, will do some test on her to make sure nothing else is going on but it looks like with some antibiotics, she's gonna be okay" she confirmed.

I let out a breath, I had been holding since we got here.

"Oh thank god" I whispered. It's just an ear infection. I can handle that. Just an double ear infection. She'll be fine Kelly, she'll be fine.

"I'll be right back in to take some tests and you'll have the results back in about 24 hours or so" she said.

Beyoncé had thanked her and she walked out.

I sat in the chairs that the room had. I didn't realize how fast my heart was beating until now.

"Kelly, Hey she's gonna be okay, it's just an ear infection baby, with some antibiotics and rest she'll be good as new okay?" Beyoncé said as she held Faith in place on the examination table so she wouldn't roll off of it.
