LOOSING HOPE

SANEM MAKES A DECISION ABOUT HER FUTURE

Can and Sanem made it to the emergency hospital with Yildiz. She was still fevered and complaining of her belly hurting. Soon, they were headed back to a room. Can was carrying his daughter. He placed on the examination table. A few minutes later, the doctor came in. He examined Yildiz then ordered some blood work and a urine sample. He also ordered an ultrasound of her stomach area. It took a few hours to get all the tests done and get the results back. The doctor told Can and Sanem that all the blood work came back fine except for her white blood count. It was elevated which shows signs of an infection. Her urine sample came back abnormal. The doctor told them that Yildiz had a kidney infection. He wrote a prescription for an antibiotic and told Can and Sanem to make sure she drinks plenty of water. She can also have over the counter pain medication for the fever and pain. The doctor asked that she follow up with her regular doctor in a week. Can shook his hand and told him thank you. Can picked his daughter up and carried her out of the hospital to his truck. He gently placed her in the back seat and buckle her seat belt. Can and Sanem got in the truck and headed to the drug store. Once Sanem got her medication, they headed home.

Once they returned home, Can picked her up again and carried her inside the house. Can carried her straight to her room and laid her down. Sanem updated Mihriban and Aziz. Soon, Mihriban and Aziz headed home. Deniz, Ates and Omer had all been bathed and were tucked into bed when Sanem went and checked on them. She got Yildiz's medicine with a glass of water and took it to her. Yildiz took her medication with no problem and drank her glass of water. Sanem told her she could skip her bath for tonight and just get some rest. Sanem gave her a kiss and told her goodnight. Yildiz told her mommy and daddy she loved them. Can gave her a quick kiss and told her goodnight. Can turned on her night light and shut the door.

Sanem went to put her pajamas on. She then went to the kitchen to get a cup of tea. She stepped out on the balcony for some air. She sat down and looked up at the stars. Can came out with a cup of tea and sat down beside her. Can asked her if she was alright. Sanem smiled at him and told him she was fine. He asked her if she had given any thought about what she wants to do with her life. Sanem told him she really had no time to think about it today. She told him she may want to start selling her creams, perfumes and lotions, but it would be too much for just her. Can suggested they get a perfume/lotion company to buy into her creations and they could mass produce it. Sanem smiled and said they was a great idea but on one condition. Can said anything. Sanem smiled and said she wanted the agency to handle the advertising. Can told her that would be up to whomever buys into her creations. Sanem said she would not sell unless that company agreed to it. She wanted him to handle the advertising. Can laughed and told her she was going to be a shrewd businesswoman. Sanem giggled and told him she was taught by the best. Can leaned over and kissed his wife. He told her she was a miracle in his life. He could not ever ask for a better wife and best friend. Sanem smiled at him and ran her hands through his beard. She told him he has made her life complete and she could not ask for a better husband and best friend. She kissed him passionately.

The next morning, Sanem woke up early. She was wrapped in her husband's arms with his face buried in her neck. She gently tried to get out of bed, but he pulled her back to him. He asked where she thought she was going. Sanem laughed and told him she needed to start breakfast and get their kids up for school. Can asked if she was sending Yildiz. Sanem told him no. She would keep her home today and see what happens. Can told her that was a good idea. He still refused to let Sanem up. Sanem told him she really needed to get up. Can told her just 5 more minutes. Sanem laughed and told him just 5 more minutes. Can started kissing his wife and she wrapped her arms around his neck. He made his way to her neck...nibbling, biting and licking. Within a matter of minutes, they were both naked and Can was making love to his beautiful wife. He held her afterwards and said what a wonderful way to wake up. Sanem agreed.

Once the kids were dressed and ate their breakfast, they hurried outside to catch the bus. It was Friday, so Deniz would be spending the weekend with her friend, Dhyana. Sanem would have Can drop her off this evening. Can was dressed and ready to leave for the agency. Yildiz went to lay back down and Omer was in his playpen. Can embraced his wife and gave her a passionate kiss. He asked her if she was sure she didn't want him to stay home and help with Yildiz and Omer. Sanem told him she had it covered. Can left for work. Sanem went to give Yildiz her medicine and check her fever. Her fever was coming down and she had increased her water intake. Sanem kissed her forehead and told her to get some rest. Sanem went to check on Omer. He was kicking around in his playpen. Sanem got a cup of tea and sat down to enjoy it. She decided to write down the ingredients for her different creams, lotions and perfumes. Soon, it was lunchtime and Sanem made Yildiz something light for her lunch. She put in on a tray with a glass of cold water. She took it in to Yildiz. Sanem found her still sleeping. Sanem woke her up and told her she needed to eat something. Yildiz sat on the edge of the bed and started eating and drinking her water. Sanem went to give Omer his bottle. He fell asleep once he finished his bottle. Sanem laid him in his crib. She went back to see how Yildiz was doing with her lunch. She was back to sleep and her lunch was gone. Yildiz ate everything. Sanem took her dishes back to the kitchen. Can had called earlier checking on things. He told Sanem the office was busy today. He told her he loved and missed her. Sanem told him the same.

Soon, Ates and Deniz were getting off the bus. Deniz was excited because she was going to Dyhana's tonight and staying until Sunday. She hurried to her room to pack. Ates went to put his stuff away. Omer was up swinging in his swing. Yildiz was laying on the couch watching television. Sanem started working on dinner. About an hour later, Can came home from work. He immediately went to the couch to check on his daughter. He gave her a hug and kiss. He found Sanem working on dinner in the kitchen. He embraced her from behind and kissed her neck.
