Emily's journey to happiness

Chapter 20

Rebecca slowly entered the room and got hit by a wave of happiness coming from Elizabeth now that Emily was awake and alert.

"How's she doing Rebecca?" Elizabeth asked, hoping for good news so they can go home and relax after a traumatic few days in the hospital and at home.

"Well, she looks good, and I don't see any problems, hopefully she will tell you what was going on but other than that she's good to go home and get some rest and relaxation." Rebecca stated.

"I'm fine really there's nothing wrong with me it was just a bad dream." Emily said pouting.

"No bad dream knocks someone out for that long sweetie" Elizabeth said.

"I promise it wasn't anything huge it was just something I had to deal with eventually, and I delt with it and it's done I promise." Emily looked pleading at Elizabeth trying to convince her that she was ok and fine. 

"This is not over sweetie we're going to have a talk about this in therapy for sure."

"Mommmmmyyy why I told you I was fine, and I even promised that I'm ok."

"I know you did but I'm saying no if ands or butts your going to talk to the therapist about this and that's that." Elizabeth said trying her best mom voice she could.

"On a side note, both of you should probably talk to the therapist about this. Because you were scared shitless Elizabeth let's be honest and Emily was dealing with some impressive night terror from hell it sounds like." Rebecca said bluntly.

"Oh, and Emily I don't wanna hear it from you missy you scared your mommy to death she was worried and crying over you for days hoping you would get better and come out of this ok." Rebecca finished.

"She... she was that worried about me? I'm sorry... I didn't know. I was honestly just trying to do my best and get out of that nasty dream once I realized it was a dream and not real life." Emily said looking sad.

"I know sweetie I know you had to be struggling to get out of and you did an amazing job baby girl. How about we get you changed quickly and dressed and then head home."

"Thanks mommy that sounds amazing I miss my stuffys and can't wait to get home."

Elizabeth lays Emily back down on the hospital bed and lifts her gown and starts to take off her soaked diaper and clean her up gently before rediapering her into a fresh cute pampers.

"Feel better baby girl?"

"Yes, mommy thank you I needed that."

"Can we get the discharge papers and instructions for Emily, Rebecca?"

"Sure, no problem Elizabeth, and Emily make sure to stay awake and not go to sleep for the next 12 hours if you can as a precaution" Rebecca informed Emily.

"Yes, ma'am I will." Emily said smiling.

"Good now then I hope I won't see either of you back here any time soon unless it's for Emily's normal doctors' appointments understood?" Rebecca said.

"It's a promise. I don't wanna come back here unless I absolutely have too." Emily said looking grumpy.

"That settles it then. Time to get you two out of here and home for some cartoons for wittle Emmy." Rebecca chuckled.

"Staaappp I know I'm a wittle one don't rub it in." Emily said, pouting even more.

"Maybe a certain little one needs some mommy's milk huh?" Elizabeth said, causing Emily to blush bright red in front of Rebecca.

"I thought that was our secret?!?!?!?" Emily said practically screaming.

"Who do you think I asked for advice about it sweetie? I had to ask a doctor first to see if it was ok to start doing it in the first place."

"Gah!!! Let's just head home before I become even redder than I thought was possible ok mommy?" Emily stated.

"Sure, let me make sure all the stuff I brought it packed up and sign the paperwork so we can get out of here ok."

"Yes, mommy let's just gooooo."

Rebecca chuckled a bit. "Seems like we have an eager little one ready to leave. Ok ill go grab the paperwork and have your mommy sign it sweetie so you can go home and play with your cute little baby toys" Emily couldn't stop but turning 50 shades of red in front of her mommy and Rebecca.

Elizabeth packs up her stuff into her bag and makes sure she has everything wall doctor Rebecca steps out to grab the paperwork.

Rebecca quickly returns faster then either Elizabeth or Emily could have imagined, she was so fast they didn't even have time to talk at all.

"Ok here's the paperwork just sign here, here and here" Rebecca said handing the paperwork to Elizabeth to fill out.

Elizabeth signs the paperwork and hands it back over to Rebecca just as a nurse walks in with what looks like a baby stroller.

"What is that?" Emily asks.

"It's a special type of wheelchair for young kids now in you go sweetie its hospital policy."

Emily let out a loud eep when the nurse picked her up and put her in the stroller and buckled her in to keep her safe and from falling out of it.

"Ok let's head out, shall we?" Elizabeth asked waiting for the nurse to start moving Emily.

Elizabeth and Rebecca walked behind the nurse as they wheeled Emily out to the front of the hospital and to Elizabeth's truck.

Elizabeth unbuckles Emily and picks her up putting her on her hip like a mother would carry a small child.

"Hang on hun it's a short walk to the truck then we can head home. If you want, we could stop by build a bear and grab a new friend for you to cuddle with?"

"Please, please, please Mommy I want a new fren!" Emily said excitedly.

Elizabeth laughs a bit "Ok snuggle bug we can get you a new friend."

"Snuggle bug that's new?"

"Do you not like it sweetie?"

"No, I honestly like it. It's sweet and cute thank you mommy." Emily couldn't help but smile knowing she is finally finding some kind of happiness in her life.
