No Happy Ending

Two weeks

Two weeks passed, but Agnes's health had not improved. Jessica was already fed up with the doctor's words that her daughter would be fine, but nothing changed

"It's been two fucking weeks, so what? NOTHING! You promised me she'd be okay, but she's not getting better...you promised!" Jessica's crying

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Huston. But we're doing everything we can!"

"Tell me honestly....is she really going to be okay?"

"....I do not know....she has a small chance"

"...you have to save my daughter! Please..."

"A more experienced doctor will come in a week and maybe he can help your daughter!But....we can't give her the medicine anymore...."

"Why?!"

"These drugs that your daughter is taking can't be taken for more than two weeks, need some time off."

"But what are we gonna do?"

"We'll keep an eye on her"

Danny is sitting on a chair next to the bed, reading a book for Agnes, and she is lying on the bed, looking at Danny. She has changed very much for these two weeks. Her skin color changed, she became weaker and she almost always sleeps.

"Did you like this story, honey?" Danny closes the book

"Yeah" she smiles, then yawns

"You're sleepy! Get some sleep, honey, mommy and daddy will be here!" he kisses her forehead

"I miss Abby and Leo and they came to me at night"

"Really? It's great that you had dream about them I'm sure they miss you too, but soon you'll be able to see them!"

Agnes smiles, closes her eyes, and Jessica enters the room. Danny puts his finger to his lips, she closes the door quietly and sits down on the sofa.

"How is she?"

"She misses Abby and Leo!"he sits next to her

"Maybe they can come here already?"

"Why not? I think it will make her happier!" Jessica smiles

"You seem upset, how was the conversation?"

"The doctor will be here in a week and maybe he can help us, but she can't take her medicine this week.."

"What are they going to do?!"

"Keep an eye on her"

Danny puts his hand on her shoulder and kisses her on the temple.

The next morning Jessica called Vivian and said they could all come visit Agnes.

"Mommy!" Abby, Leo and Vivian are running to her.

"Oh, my babies! I've missed you all so much!" she hugs them

"Hi, mom!" David hugs her

"Hi, honey!" she kisses him on the cheek

"Well, are you ready to see your sister?"

"Yeah we are!!!"

"Okay, but you need to be quiet, and Agnes looks a little different now."

"Okay, mom....can we go?" Abby jumps.

"Mom?! Haha, sure!"

"Agnes!!!" Abby and Leo run to her.

"Hey, guys!" Agnes giggles and they hug each other

"Hey, Vivi and big bear!"

"Big bear? It will never get old!" David kisses her on the cheek

"Agnes, I brought you something!" Vivian's smiling

"What is it? What's it?" she jumps sitting on the bed

Vivian pulls out of her backpack a little bear

"My Teddy!!!" Agnes  yealls.

"That's right!" Vivian gives her a bear.

"Thanks, sissy!" she hugs her

Jessica and Danny are standing here looking at the kids. At this point, their hearts melted from the fact that Agnes for the first time in two weeks laughing and just happy

"Look who's here!" Alicia goes into the room

"You're back!" Agnes puts her hands on her cheeks

"Of course I am! You need your big sister now more than ever!" she kisses her nose

"It's true!"

"Well, I'm a big sister too!" Vivian rolls her eyes.

"Hey, lady, what's wrong with your eyes!" Danny puts his hands on her shoulders and looks into her eyes.

"Hi, daddy!" she smiles sweetly

"Hi, honey!" he laughs

Agnes and David suggested Jessica and Danny go home and get some rest, and they'll watch Agnes and the rest of the kids.

"Oh, I don't know, honey"

"Mom, don't you want to take a normal shower?"

"Oh, I'm dying for a bath."

"Then go home!"

"We will look after them if something happens we know how to use a phone"

"Thank you!" Danny hugs them

"Okay, Danny, you drive!"

"We arrived here in different cars!"

"Yes!"she's smiling

"Okay!"she kisses her forehead

"I love you all! Time for a Group hug!"

They gather in a circle and cuddle and Agnes giggles.
