Jen's POV

We finally arrived at the hospital. It felt like an hour in the car, I Pat picks Alex out of my lap and we run into the E.R. Alex moans. She's getting worse. I yell for Pat to hurry up, but I know he can't, he can't drop her. "Can I help you?" The lady at the front desk says, I take Alex from Pat's arms, and nod. "She had a really bad stomach ache and started running out of energy, she has a high fever as well." Pat says, I hug Alex tightly to me. "We'll take care of it." She says with a warm smile. I wasn't smiling, neither was Pat. She glances at Alex's pale face and her expression darkens, she types picks up a phone and begins dialing something. She picks the phone up to her and says, "Hi, Jane. It's Helen in the front office, we're gonna need some medical help." I stiffen, Alex whimpers. "It's ok, Alex. Mommy's got you. Mommy's got you." Pat squeezes my shoulder and the lady says into the phone, "Yes, the mother says she has had severe stomach aches and high fever, she's not fully unconscious in this moment but she was before they came in. She also has an extremely pale face." She looks over to Alex." "Yeah." "Ok" she puts the phone down and turns to us. "The doctors on his way. What's her name?" She asks. "Alexandra Lynn Brown." Pat says. "Ah, it says you have currently adopted her?" She asks, we emailed the signed papers to the orphanage yesterday before bed and got her records and birth certificate. "That is correct." I say. She types something on her computer and nods. "Ok thank you." She says. A man walks around the corner with a clipboard, she greets him with a nod. "Hi, I'm doctor Sandchez, Is this Alexandra?" He asks me. I frantically nod. He examines her face. He features and says, "Right this way." The doctor says, we follow the man, I examine Alex, her tummy is bloated and she is trying to breathing hard. The man reaches to take Alex away from me and I flinch back. Pat rubs my arm and whispers. "She needs to get better." He says, I turn to look him in his teary eyes, he lays a kiss on my forehead and I give, letting the doctor take my sweet baby to the bed in the room. Pat sits me down on the couch next to Alex and we watch as he pulls a needle out. I jump up but Pat pulls me back down. The doctor takes an antesic wipe and rubs it on on her arm. Then sticks the needle in her arm. She jerks awake and screams, she immediately starts crying and struggling. I bounce up and run over, nurses run in and hold her legs and arms down. "It's ok baby! I'm here. They're just putting in an IV okay? Calm down, Alex." I say. She has fear in her eyes. "Mommy don't let them hurt me." She says. Hot tears run down my cheeks. "No baby they won't. I promise." I say. She starts screaming and crying, "Mommy my tummy really hurts! Mommy! It hurts!" She screams. Pat runs over. I couldn't take it. "Please help her! Please help my baby!" I yell, squeezing her hand. The doctors are trying hard to get the IV in. "Ma'am please move." The doctor says. I don't want to, but I nod and step back. One doctor puts her mouth, probably amnesia, she quickly drifts off. I cry as Pat wraps his arms around my shoulders, we watch them insert medicine into her arm and withdraw blood.

Time Skip Jen's POV

They sit us down, Alex is being taken to a trauma room. "So we ran some tests and," he stops. I raise my eyebrows impatiently, waiting for him to tell me she's okay, that we can take her home right now. But I knew that wasn't happening. He continues, "Well, she has a huge sensitivity to glutton. Have you taken her to get any glutton products?" He says. I nod, "We had some cupcakes after the beach, that's when she started getting real bad." I say. He bids. "Well she has NCGS [Non- Celiac Glutton Sensitivity.] And this case is very serious. It's called Celiac Disease. She's having a very serious reaction to glutton. Pat squeezes my shoulder. I shudder. "Good news is that she'll be outta here in 3 days tops." He says, I have out a huge breath of relief, one that's been begging it's way out. "She's currently being treated for the swelling in her stomach. You'll be able to see her shortly. But I'm dad to say that you will have to leave at 9:00. That's when visiting hours end." I looked at the clock. 8:37. "What time can we come back tomorrow?" I ask. "12:30." He replies, I give him a warm grateful smile. "Thank you so much doctor." Pat says, we arrise and shake hands. "I'll go retrieve your daughter." He says. We both nod. When he leaves I start crying. "How can I have been so stupid?" I say. "I knew she was having tummy problems and I gave her cupcakes!" I bellow. He pulls me to his warm embrace. "Hey, you didn't know that that she was having a reaction to glutton, let alone knowing those cupcakes had glutton." Pat conforts me. I nod, I just want to take Alex home and for her to be better. For this to have never had happened. I wanted to see her. I stop crying when I see a stretcher coming our way, Alex has oxygen nobs in her nose and she's looking around, her bloated tummy showing, but just a little. She spots us and yells. "Mommy! Daddy!" I run to her and hug her, nurses stop pushing the stretcher and let us hug. Pat comes over and we all hug. "Feeling any better?" I ask. She miss. "Yes, but my tummy still hurts. The doctor said that those cupcakes made me sick." She says, I freeze. "I'm so sorry." I say. She gives me a weird look. "I'm not mad!" She says. The doctor taps my shoulder. I twirl around, he motions to the clock. 8:57. I moan. "I have to go sweet heart." I say. Her smile faded. "W- why?" She says. "We can't stay here." I say. "Ok. I'm ready to go." Alex says. Tears fall down my cheeks. "The doctors said me and daddy have to leave, you're staying here. I'm sorry." I say. She starts tearing up and quivers her lip. Pat grabs my arm and starts walking toward the door. "No Mommy! Don't leave me! Please stay!" She screams. I bite my lip and tell back. "I love you Alex! I promise to be back tomorrow!" She slumps down and cries. Pat gets in the driver's seat. As soon as I get in the passenger seat I start to ball. I shut the door as Pat drives home. By the time we get home I already want to go back. Dinner was cold but I didn't feel like eating. I just slumped into bed. I eventually fell asleep.
