I walked in the emergency room beyond tired. I literally had to fight Shawn not to come with me because it was too late for Aimee to be in this cold weather. And then on top of that my legs are killing me from..... well you know what, I don't have to say it.
"Hello, how may I help you?" The ER receptionist questioned as I approached the desk.
"Hi" I softly smiled. "I'm looking for Nurse Mitchell. She called me like a hour ago saying I had a little sister here."
"Okay, I'll page her down here, give me one second" she said.
I nodded my head and took a seat in the chairs by the desk.
I really thought I was done with anything pertaining to my "mom" but yet here I am. So many questions are running through my head. Is this little girl even my actual sister? And if she is, do we have the same dad? Or is her father whoever that man Tina was on the phone with? And also what the hell happened to where this girl ended up in the emergency room?
"Beyoncé" I lift my head up to see a nurse walking towards me. "Hi, I'm Nurse Mitchell" she said in a soft voice.
"Nice to meet you" I respond. "Not to be pushy or anything, but could you tell me what's going on" I questioned.
She slightly chuckled. "Sure. Well Halle has been admitted to this ER twice in the past three weeks, and I have been her nurse, so I guess you can say I've build a sort of attachment to her. The first time she came in she had a sprained wrist, and some bad bruises on her arms and legs. But she said, along with her mother, that it was from a dance incident, so it wasn't much I could do. But tonight when she walked in here..... it was just awful" Nurse Mitchell said.
"So how did I come up?" I asked.
"Once Halle informed me that her mother & father did this to her, before calling CPS, I asked if she had any other family members and she gave me your name and number."
"This is just crazy because I know absolutely nothing about having a little sister." I shake my head.
"I understand and if you want to conduct a DNA test we can. I can also put a rush on the results so you'll know within a couple of hours." I look up at her, amazed by how concerned she is. "Like I said I've grown attached to her and I would hate to see her placed in the system and get treated worse than she already has."
I nodded my head understanding. "Can I see her?" I hesitantly asked.
"Absolutely, follow me" I followed Nurse Mitchell through the double doors into the emergency room. "Just a heads up, she's not really talking too much right about now." she informed me as we stopped in front of room 244.
She opens the door and I slowly follow behind her. "Halle" she whispers while walking over to the bed.
I stand behind her looking at the little girl on the bed, who seems sleep. I watch as Nurse Mitchell softly touches her shoulder and she jumps up in fear.
"Hey it's okay it's just me" Nurse Mitchell says while giving a little bit of space between them. I can kind of see the little girl calm down. "Somebody is here to meet you" Nurse Mitchell says while turning around to reveal me.
I finally see her face.
