Sheila runs into the emergency room to the desk. "I'm here to see my daughter, Abby Bennett. She was brought in a few moments ago by ambulance." The nurse looks up the name and tells her "Abby is currently in surgery right now. I will make a note in her chart that you are here and when the doctor is finished to come out and speak with you as soon as possible. What's your name ma'am?" "Bennett, Sheila Bennett." Sheila nods her head. "Thank you." The nurse smiles a sad smile. "Please take a seat ad the doctor will be with you shortly." Sheila went to a secluded part of the waiting room where she could be alone with her thoughts and pray to the ancestors. What seemed like an hour passed and a woman in a white coat walks up to her. "Mrs. Bennett? I'm the doctor that has been working on Abby." "Yes." Sheila was brought out of her thoughts. "How is she? Can I see her?" The doctor sits down next to Sheila. "Well, she gave us quite the scare. She's anemic so I started her on an iron supplement. This is the reason she felt lightheaded while standing. Now as for the baby, she is doing just fine and is stable right now with a very strong heartbeat. Abby's placenta detached a bit and caused a small rip. We were able to go in a successfully stop the bleed. I am requesting that Abby be placed on bed rest. Her chart says the due date is end of January to early February. I want her to remain on bed rest till that little girl is ready to come out on her own. Obviously she can leave the bed to shower and to use the bathroom but I strongly urge you to minimize her walking. If it's at all possible, no going up and down stairs, no long walks, and as much time spent in bed as possible. Even when she eats." Sheila nods her head listening to the doctor talk. "I know I just gave you alot of information at once. Do you have any questions or concerns?" Sheila looks at the doctor. "The only question I have doctor, is can I see my daughter." "Of course you can, right this way." The doctor leads Sheila through the halls. It seems like a maze since her mind is only focused on one thing and that was to see and to make sure her baby was okay. "I forgot to ask, is she married? Living at home alone or with you?" "She's married doctor but Rudy is out of town all the time for his work. I will have her come live with me till the baby's born and then we will figure out what to do when the time comes." "That's good to hear Mrs. Bennett. I wish you and Abby the best of luck. I don't want to see either of you back in here till that baby is ready to meet the world. God bless Mrs. Bennett." Then the doctor walks away to check on his other patients. Sheila stands infront of a door. She's debating if she wants to go in or not. It's not like she doesn't want to see Abby but she's worried about how she will see Abby. "Okay, lets do this." Sheila says pushing through the door.
As soon as she walks in she is met with Abby stuffing her face with red jell-o sitting up in bed watching TV. "What?" Sheila gasps. "Damn it, you scared me." "I know mom, I'm so sorry. Want some jell-o." Abby says with a sad smile shaking the jell-o cup at her mother. "No, I don't want jell-o." Sheila starts laughing as she moves a chair closer to the bed to sit next to Abby. Half an hour goes by and a nurse walks in. "I'm here to get a couple blood samples and to check your stitches. Doctor would like for you to stay overnight for observation. Abby opens her mouth to object but understands and agrees to stay overnight. Sheila steps out in the hall to find the nurses station. "Is it alright if I use the phone to make a couple calls?" The nurse nods her head and hands the phone over. First Sheila calls Rudy. She and Rudy never really got along since he didn't want anything to do with witches or any other supernatural things. Rudy was human after all. Of course he didn't answer the phone so Sheila left a message about what happened and for him to call her at home tomorrow. Sheila then hangs up the phone and calls Miranda to give her an update and to ask about Lucy. Miranda answers. "Miranda? Abby is alright for now. They want to keep her overnight for observation. How's Lucy? Is she giving you any trouble?" Miranda tells her how Lucy was cuddled with Grayson on the couch and they both fell asleep watching a movie. I'm so glad to hear that Abby is okay. Don't worry about calling everyone else. I will make those calls for you. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask." Sheila thanks Miranda for her kind words. "I will be there after Abby is discharged from the hospital tomorrow sometime to pick up Lucy. Thank you again for watching over her."
Sheila thanks the nurse and walks back to the room. Abby is sleeping soundly when she walks in so Sheila sins in the chair, covers up with a small blanket and drifts off to sleep. Sheila is woken up when she hears Abby talking. Sheila opens her eyes and looks at the clock. It's 4 in the morning and it appears to be that Abby is talking in her sleep. At first Sheila trys to ignore it and go back to sleep then she hears Abby talking about a tree, a baby, and a black wolf. Sheila thinks to herself "Where have I heard this before?" Sheila holds onto her daughters hand as she searches her memories to figure out why she's heard about all of this before. Then it hits her... "Lucy." Sheila asks herself why Abby is now talking about this just after Lucy had just several hours ago explained her dream. Is it random or is it something much more? Is it a vision of the future? As soon as Sheila goes to wake up Abby, her eyes flutter open and she says "When the baby cries the leaves on the tree grow and are a more vibrant shade of green." Sheila looks to Abby with worry. "Are you alright baby?"
"What are you talking about?" Sheila looks Abby in the eye. "You were talking in your sleep. Don't you remember what you said?" Abby thinks about it. She tilts her head and looks to Sheila questioningly. "I was uncomfortable and I think I picked up that feeling in my sleep and just woke up. I don't remember my dream at all." Sheila looks at Abby, she opens her mouth to say something but the nurse comes in to check Abby's vitals and stitches.
Sheila excuses herself from the room to get some coffee. She wonders around till she finds the cafeteria and uses the coffee vending machine. After the machine dispenses her coffee she sits at a table by herself and contemplates the spell she will preform when her and Abby get home. Sheila returns to the room to find Abby fast asleep. She sits down in the chair once more and slowly drifts off to sleep.
