Thanksgiving

Chapter 19

The next few minutes go by in a blur.

Bryan quickly grabs his cell. "Sawyer, put the house on lock down. Call backup security to the house, we have a situation at the hospital," he hangs up and looks at me. "Ma'am, please go back in the room."

I don't move. Christian is on his cell. "I need security to the third floor. Room 3105." He hangs up and looks at me. "Please go back in the room."

I'm still not moving.

Bryan makes another call. "I need the cameras checked from the third floor to the main elevators from five o'clock on."

Christian makes another call. "Miss Evelyn, please be on standby to take the kids to the safe room."

My eyes widen. "Really? You think he'll go to the house?"

"I don't know. But I'm not taking chances," he says as he eyes me. "Would you PLEASE go back into the room!?"

"NO!" I say and Bryan and Christian both look at me their jaws near the floor. "I'm staying where you are. I don't feel safe in a room. I feel safe with YOU!" I look at Christian.

The nurse who had been standing quietly along the wall walks up to us. "I can sit with you in the room," she says.

"Thank you, but no thank you." I look at Christian and hope he can read my look of nervousness.

Christian comes to my side and bends down to kiss me and give me a hug. He always knows exactly what I need and when. A tear falls down my face – I feel helpless.

Bryan's phone buzzes. "Bryan..."

"What do you mean you can't pull the video?"

"I'm not looking at patients, I'm looking at a possible abduction suspect..."

'A warrant? At five thirty in the morning?" He eyes Christian who grabs his phone.

"Judge Regionald... Christian Grey... I need a favor..." Christian walks out of earshot but we all know what he's doing.

The nurse is now the one who is flabbergasted. "It's good to know people," I say to her.

"Hey, I'm impressed," she says with a shrug of her shoulders. "It's time to get your vitals," she says as she points into the room. I roll the chair backwards and maneuver towards the bed.

"Can I keep the chair?" I like the ability to get around a bit.

"Actually, you should be in bed with the medicine you're on, but you can stay in it for right now I guess," she says. She goes about her business of getting everything she needs from me and leaves the room.

I roll back to the doorway and 3 policemen are talking to Christian and Bryan. They all look at me and Christian guides them over. "These three men will be posted outside this door and at the elevator until you are discharged from here. No one is to go in or out of this room without proper identification and a specific reason to be here."

I smile at them thinking that this is all overkill but I know there is no arguing with Christian when it comes to my safety. "If you need to leave the room for any reason, I or one of them will accompany you." The three officers nod.

I sigh. I want my babies. I hate this feeling of not having control. I also realize that my foot is throbbing, it's probably been throbbing for a while but I have been so worried I hadn't noticed. I reach to the IV pole that is attached to the wheelchair where the pain medicine button is hanging and I 8pull it down to me. "Christian, I need to get back in bed, I need my magic medicine but I can't be in the chair when it knocks me out."
