Recovery

"The Family of Brooke Johnson" the head doctor said walking into the hospital lobby

The Doctor was a African American women with Marley twists, 5"5 in height, small petite women who wore glasses. She had the face features of Angela Bassett.

"Here Here I'm her father" Rodney said jumping from his seat while helping his wife get out of hers

"And I'm her mother Doctor Johnson" Tammy said when they finally approached the doctor

"Well I have some good news and bad news." The head doctor said while fixing her glasses on her face

They both nodded but praying that they baby girl is still alive.

"The good news she Perfectly fine and she just resting from the surgery but the bad news is that she lost a lot of blood and where the bullet hit her at was close to her shoulder blade but not to close where it can damage it for good. She have to wear an arm sling for a month or so and stick with physical therapy on that arm" Dr. Brown said

"Thank you lord for keeping my baby alive. Thank you lord" Tammy said while hugging Rodney

"Will we able to go see her now" Rodney asked

"Yes of course but she still sleeping from surgery and the medication we gave her. So she probably wake up soon or sleep until the next day" Dr. Brown reassured

"Thank you for everything Dr. Brown" Rodney said smiling with relief

"No thank you...making sure our people is taken care of is my priority in this profession" Dr. Brown say before walking back through those white double doors

"We can go see her now" Rodney said as the Brooke support system members all stand up to go see her.

2 Weeks Later ....

Brooke has been out the hospital for 2 weeks now. She happy that's she home and Marcus is burning in hell for what he did. They had Marcus funeral a few days ago and his father stated to the other family members of his and his wife that he died from being at a place at the wrong time and ended up getting killed.

However, what happen to her in the house still haunts her and she been giving everyone the silent treatment since she woke up in the hospital bed.

"My sugar bee gone mute Rodney and there nothing I can do"  Tammy said while walking out the bathroom and heading to the dresser to put on her night gown

"Don't think like that baby. You know how Brooke is she be quiet first and then when she ready to speak she lets us know and come with open arms" Rodney said while pulling the covers back on the bed

"I know but the only time she been mute was after my mom passed and that was for a month. So who knows how long it be this time" Tammy explained. Putting on my body lotion

"Just be patient baby" Rodney sympathize while getting comfortable in the bed

"I will and hopefully she talk to us it's before the baby comes" Tammy states while getting into the bedroom with her husband and cuddle with him until falling asleep.

Meanwhile, Priest is currently in his home in Atlanta calling Brooke and texting her nonstop until she answers. He was there when she woke up but she didn't say a word to him. The last words Priest remembers Brooke saying to him was "Ok now can you get me out of here please."

Voicemail: Hey this Brooke sorry I didn't answer the phone but leave me a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible byeee

"Brooke Marie Johnson answer the phone. I know you see the 100's calls and texts I sent since you got home from the hospital. I want to make sure you okay mentally and you healing your arm. Remember when I told you I always be here even if we were together or not. So I'm here as a friend that just want to know you there because I feel like I been talking to myself for the pass couples days. I'll be up there in Jersey tonight okay love you mamas"

After hanging up Priest starts to pack his bag and do some last cleaning then lock up and head to the airport.
