“M-mom? Is that you?” My voice was raspy from all the crying.
“Skylar!” My mom ran up to me and gave me the best hug I’ve ever gotten. “Honey, you’re okay!” She smiled and kissed my cheek. Tears were streaming down both of our faces.
“Mom! I’m so happy to see you. I’ve missed you so much.” I wiped my tears as we released our hug.
“Skye, did you hear about the babies? You have a baby brother and sister, isn’t that great?” She wiped the tears from her eyes, which didn’t work because more just kept flowing out.
“I know Mom, it’s amazing,” I turned to the doctor who was now standing near the door,” When can we see them?”
“Your daughter is in the NICU, she has a broken arm,” he paused looking around, “Your son however, is in the nursery. Healthiest baby there, actually.” He chuckled, which spread smiles throughout the room.
“Thank you Dr. Malcolm, I really appreciate all you’ve done for us.” My mom is such a sweetheart, I feel so bad for what’s happened to her. But I’m so glad she’s healthy, and my baby brother is healthy. My baby brother, it feels so good to say that. “Can we visit them?”
The doctor looked down, “Well, you can visit your son tomorrow, but I’m afraid your daughter isn’t allowed to have any visitors for three days, or until she gets better.” My mom looked up at him, worry in her eyes. “I’m sorry Ma’am, but its for the safety of your daughter.” She nodded and turned away.
“It’s getting late Skylar, you should really get to bed. A lot has happened today and its too much to take in at once.”
“C-can I see my phone? Then I promise I’ll go to bed.” My mom got off my bed and handed me my phone. I thanked her and then the lights were off, the door was shut, and I was alone. I clicked the home button on my phone.
5 Messages from Layla, 3 from Amelia, 4 from Blakely, 1 from Niall
5 Missed Calls, 2 Voicemails
I laid down in my hard, hospital bed, which was uncomfortable because my leg had to be lifted up. I clicked on my messages, reading each one over and over again. They all pretty much said the same thing, except one. Niall wasn’t told about the accident. I had asked the girls not to tell him because I don’t want him to worry. His message read, “hey skye, hows the party going? txt me wen u can” I teared up a little bit, but carried on reading the messages. Then I clicked my voicemails.
“Skylar?! Are you okay? I heard about the accident. It’s all over the News!” Layla yelled into the phone. It felt so good to hear her voice, I’m so glad everything’s okay, that I’m okay, that my mom’s okay, that the babies are okay.
I smiled to myself right before drifting off to sleep, phone in hand.
