**Marshall's POV**
"Come on girls, we're going to the hospital" I said, tears running down my face. The girls followed me outside. Whit's eyes were red and she still had tears running down her face. She was now wrapped in a blanket and was wiping her tears even though more streamed down her face.
We all sat in my car. I started the car and drove to the hospital. Whitney, Hailie and Laine were all cuddling in the back seat, sobbing. It broke my heart.
We finally arrived at the hospital and we all rushed out the car, into the hospital. "Where's Grace?" I asked a hospital staff, "She's in surgery, but you can wait in a room for her" a hospital staff, directing us to a room.
Hailie and Alaina fell asleep and Whitney was wide awake. I went up and gave her a big hug. She started to tremble in my arms and she started to cry again, "Shh". I rubbed her back and hugged her tighter. "Baby, you need some sleep" I said, "I don't want to go to sleep" she said. I guess she thinks something bad while happen if she falls asleep and I can see why.
"Are you hungry?" I asked, "A bit". "Come on let's go and get something to eat", "Okay" Whitney said wiping her eyes. I held her hand and took her into the cafeteria, she got a bottle of juice, a muffin and a bowl of jelly and I got a coffee and a sandwich. We walked back to the hospital room and ate our food.
I looked at the clock, it was 3:15AM.
A few moments passed and the door opened.
On a hospital bed, there was Grace, hooked up to some machines and she had a lot of stitches. "Hi, baby" she croaked. "Hi babe" I said, I placed my hand on top of her hand. She turned and smiled at Whitney, "What are you doing up, Whit?" she asked, "I wanted to see you" Whitney said, smiling back at Grace.
"Can you get up?" a hospital staff asked her, "I think so" Grace said, slowly easing herself of the bed and walking slowly to the other bed. She let out a sigh of relief as she sat on the bed. "Are you hungry miss?" the hospital staff asked, "I could kill for a drink and a pie", "Sure miss" the hospital staff said and walked out the door. "How are you feeling?" I asked, "Sore, how's your head", "Same". Whitney hopped up on the bed next to Grace. She gave her a hug. "Dad, I think you might want them to check your head", "Yeah, I'll ask the lady when she gets back".
A few seconds later the same lady walked in, holding a bottle of flavoured water and a mince and cheese pie and handed it to Grace. "Mmm" she said, rubbing her hand together. Whitney laughed at that action.
"Miss, can you check my head", "Sure Mr. Mathers" she said, "Can you sit on the bed?"she asked pointing to the one Grace was on before. "Okay" I went and sat on the bed. "Mr. Mathers, I'm just going to get a bandage" the lady said and walked out the room. Whitney was now asleep on Grace, Whit's so cute. At least one of the girls love Grace.
The hospital lady walked in with a bottle of something, a bandage and some cotton balls. She puts some on the stuff out of the bottle on a cotton ball, and wiped where I got hit over the head. I winced as she cleaned my wound, "Sorry", the lady said, wrapping my head in a bandage.
"Mr. Mathers do you need us to call the cops?", "I think so", "I'll go call them now", "Thanks". The lady walked out of the room, I looked over at Grace. She was asleep, she fell asleep with a smile on her face.
Questions started to go through my mind. How did he get in? The only other person who had a key and the security pin was.. Kim. Kim! Fuck I hate that bitch. But why would she give that guy a key? Did our family not matter to her? I felt anger rise in my chest, I let out a small scream of anger. I calmed my self down. The only reason that Kim would want to hurt my girlfriend would be because she either still has feelings for me or she want's to make me suffer. What she doesn't know is that it will other people. That bitch doesn't think about other people's feelings.
"Mr. Mathers, I called the police, they said they'll be here in a hour or so", "Thanks miss", "Your welcome". I sighed and relaxed into the bed, my eyelids closed I tried keeping them open but I failed. I fell asleep.
AN HOUR LATER
I woke up, someone was shaking me. "Mr. Mathers, Mr. Mathers", "Uh, what?" I asked forcing my eyes open. "You called for us", I realized it was the police, I sat up."Uh, yeah", "Mr. Mathers we have to interview you, your family and your girlfriend". "Yeah, sure", "Would you us to take your family and your girlfriend with us to the station?". "Um, yes, I'll wake them up", "Okay, we'll wait for you outside", the police officer said and walked out the door.
I called for a nurse, one came quick, "Yes Mr. Mathers", "When can she leave?" I asked, "She should be fine to leave, as long as she drinks a lot of fluids and doesn't overwork her self ". "Okay, we'd like to leave now", "Um, sure, I'll just take her off of the machine", the nurse said, walking over to Grace.
I went to Whitney and shook her, "Baby wake up", "Uhh, what's happening?', "We have to go". "Where are we going? Is Grace coming?" Whitney asked sounding slightly panicked. "We going to the police station and yes, Grace is coming", "Okay". "Help me wake up your sisters", "Fine", Whitney said, getting up. She walked to Alaina, "Lanie wake up!" Whitney whined falling on Lanie. "Get off" Lanie mumbled. "Get up!" Whitney whined, "I will once you get off", "Fine" Whitney said getting off Lanie. Lanie got up and stretched. I walked over to Hailie, "Hailie, wake up" I said shaking her slightly. "What??" Hailie said, "Wake up" I said shaking a bit more, "I'm up, I'm up! Stop shaking me!" Hailie whined. She got up off the chair. Grace was now awake and the nurse had left. "Come on girls lets go", "Go where?" Grace asked, "We're going to the police station".
