Stef's: POV
It's seems like we been up in the air forever. After Francesca was discharged from the Colorado children's hospital, l called Joy to let her know that we were on our way
The transport team loaded Francesca on to the helicopter and strapped her
The doctor gave her a mild sedated before we left. So she'll be sleeping
I have a copy of Francesca's medical report, l've been going over it carefully in case I missed something
I hope Lena's okay driving back by herself. Cause she barely slept a wink last night, l could feel her tossing and turning. Mom drove with Lena hopefully she doesn't say anything to set Lena off, l'm still pretty pissed at the things that said about Lena. Stuart came to his daughter's defense, l don't what she was thinking. I know Lena's been struggling with everything that's been taking place, l'm trying to wrap my mind around Brandon's been writing letters to that asshole in the state penitentiary. He probably wasn't aware of what was in for,we always monitor the kids are doing. But was the last thing we expected to happen
I know he wasn't telling us the full story, about he did and how did this man know where to find out we're we
I'm having a hard time digest. everything that has happened, Lena and I have decided to get him in some type therapy. Cause it seems like we can get through to him, being with his grandfather will do him some good
I'm sure he gave Brandon a stern talking to. Stuart has always been the constant male in his life, he takes Brandon out to different functions and talk to him about various things
I never asked what they speak about
Hopefully with us coming home things will go back to normal. I didn't mention to Lena that Stuart told me Brandon wants to live with him permanently, l'm not quite sure how Lena's gonna feel about this. Me personally I think it's an excellent idea, we never wanted to send our children away. We have always been open with them in terms with life and the world, about being careful with their surroundings. Francesca and Brandon are very bright kids, who knows the difference between right and wrong. How long before we arrive at the hospital l ask the EMT tech, anywhere from 5to10 minutes
The girl said to me, l put Francesca's file back in my bag. And sat there looking out the window, l could see the whole San Diego region from being so high up on the helicopter.  
I let my mind just wander back to the time, Lena first had Francesca
I remember it like it was yesterday
She went into labor on a early Friday morning. l believe it was 5:00 am
Lena came out the bathroom telling her water bag had broken, she shook me till I woke up, l got up seeing her with small suitcase. Stephanie if you don't get your ass up and get dressed
I'll myself to the hospital and deliver
This baby myself if I have to she States. That's when I knew Lena death serious, l quickly got up from the bed
Went into the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. Put on a pair of sweatpants and hoodie, when l came out. I got on my soxs and shoes
Lena was beeping the horn, thinking this woman was crazy driving in pain
I grabbed my wallet and rushed down the stairs. Luckily Brandon is over at friends house, l locked up the door
Got into the car. Lena moved over to the passenger side, we drove straight to the hospital. Everything that happened after that was a blur
I remember holding Francesca in my arms for the first time, she had a head full of curly light brown hair and hazel eyes. Ms. Foster where here
I heard someone say, sorry I must have zoned out for a second
I said to the young woman.
Stef gets out the helicopter, we were on the roof. Joy and Kelly all standing there waiting for the medic to get Francesca out, Joy how are you
Stef says to her supervisor, we have a room all ready for Francesca and l received a copy of her medical report from Colorado children's hospital
Where's Lena at Joy questioned
She decided to drive down with my mom. Stef replies, we can take from here guys Joy told the EMT's. Joy was dressed in protective gear, Francesca was still asleep. Joy and Kelly begin pushing the bed towards the entrance
I watched the chopper fly away
