Two and a half hours before...
"Daddy look!" Gabriella laughs as she jumps from trampoline to trampoline.
"You're so silly Gabby!" He laughs.
Danny turned around for two seconds and heard the most painful and high pitched scream he's ever heard.
He felt like the world had stopped.. or like everything was in slow motion when he heard her.
He turned hoping it wasn't Gabriella, even though he knew it was his baby's voice.
He saw her there and he ran over as fast as he could.
He held her in him arms as she screamed and cried.
"Oh my God! What have I done?" He says under his breath.
***
On the way to the emergency room all Gabriella could do was scream and cry for Jessica.
"MOMMY! I WANT MY MOMMY!!!"
"I know Gabby, I'm trying but she won't answer!"
"Dammit Jessica!" He throws his phone to the side and continues driving.
***
As they wait for the doctor he continues to call and text Jessica.
His heart is hurting for his little girl and now he's panicked about his wife and son.
"Why won't she answer?!"
He finally calls Sarah,
"Hello?"
"Sarah! Listen, I need your help!"
"Sure, what's up?"
"I'm in the emergency room with Gabriella and I can't get ahold of Jessica."
"Wait your what?! What the hell happened?!"
"I don't know, I think she sprained her wrist. She-she hurt herself while we were at.. At Jumping World."
"Oh boy are you fucked."
"Don't you think I know that Sarah! She's gonna fucking murder me!"
"Oh definitely!"
"Anyway! Can you do me a huge favor and go over to our house and check on Jessica? I'm panicking because this is not like her at at!"
"Yeah sure, I'll go! How's Gabby doing?"
"Not good, she wants her mommy and she's in a lot of pain."
"Poor baby! Well I'll go get Jessica a bring her over there.. I'll be praying for Gabriella... And you!"
"Hah! Yeah please! Jessica's gonna kill me!"
"Yes she will, Danny."
"Thanks." He says sarcastically.
"Bye!" She laughs.
When he hangs up, he kneels down beside her and says, "Gabriella, daddy's so sorry that you're hurting! I promise you it'll be better really soon! Okay? Mommy's on her way.. aunt Sarah went to get her.
"I want mommy!" She cries.
"I know, Princess." He gets up and sits on her bed, then sits her on his lap as she lays on his chest.
"I'm sorry.. I'm so so sorry, princess!" He says as a single tear falls.
***
Back to present time...
While they wait for the orthopedic technician Isaiah starts getting fussy.
"I think he's hungry, Jess." Danny tells her.
"Alright. There's formula in the diaper bag."
"Oh okay.."
Danny sits Isaiah on his lap as he gets the formula out to make his bottle.
Jessica glances over at him and sees Isaiah throwing himself everywhere and almost falling on the ground while Danny gets powder everywhere.
"Bring him to me, Danny!"
He walks over to her as Isaiah throws himself around and screams for Jessica.
"Isaiah stop! You're fine!" She grabs him and looks him in the eyes.
Danny stands beside her and watches her calm him down.
"Make his bottle!" She gives Danny a hard look.
"Oh right!" He jumps back to make it.
