Liam shot the doctor a look of displeasure as he exited the room. He knew if he had to come back here, if anything else happened to Melody it wouldn't be pretty. Stepping closer to her once more he watched Elisa comfort her gently as a mother would still seeing her hooked up to machines horrified him.
"Mel.." Elisa said softly . She gently hugged her and smiled lightly. Elisa the hugged Liam and watched melody lay down. Elisa hated to see melody like this. It broke her heart into millions of bits. It also worried her..
"She'll be okay." His voice reassuring as he took her Into a tighter embrace as he silently prayed for Melody and her well being. She was just a baby, how did this happen? No one could say what caused it which led to a more terrifying experience not knowing hat it was. What if it happened again? Was she sick? Did they miss something? All these questions left unanswered left him uncomfortably uneasy with what happened.
Elisa nodded and hugged Liam tightly. The doctor came in again to check and tell then that they would keep her over night a couple of nights before sending her home. Elisa looked to him worried she knew they haven't been home in awhile and this would be hard enough for her to leave knowing the doctor may not be telling them the things they should know...
"You can keep her as long as you want too but I'm not leaving until I have sole answers!" He replies aggressively not wanting to shout and frighten Mel. He couldn't leave her or he knew he could go mentally insane but knowing if she was going to be okay, he knew his mind would race a thousand miles a minute.
"Melody is fine. We just want to run tests on her before she goes home. We just recomended you Both go home and get some rest. It's better that way."
Elisa got aggregated; "don't tell us it's better that way we want to stay we will stay!.. Just tell us what's wrong with our daughter!" She said sternly to the doctor. "It's not common to go into a Coma over night, it's not like the freaking flu!"
The doctor turn around and offered to take. Them out and close the door so he could talk to them. Elisa looked to Liam.
Liam nodded to Elisa still holding her close to him for reassurance and comfort. He looked to Mel who was asleep and exited the room. "Something tells me you're keeping something from us and I don't appreciate you upsetting my wife." Her eyes glossy he still held a right grip. "Look, I don't know if you have kids but you have to understand where we are coming from. One morning out daughter is perfectly heathy and the next she looks sickly. You can't look me in the eye and tell me there is no explanation. I want answers I don't care what they are, I don't care how hard it will be for you to find them. I want them."
"Melody has a very weak immune system, kids get sick over night alright? And with her immune system, it was hard to defeat it. So we'll give her some meds to strengthen it. If problems continue we will find the source of what's wrong with her.. If they don't she'll have to take the medicine for maybe a month a year or possibly her whole life. "He explained.
What Liam was hearing was like a blast to the past. Kids with weak immune systems can't be strengthened that was false hope. There was medicine for it though. He knew more than he wanted to know about it, kids with weak immune systems could become deathly ill from the most common colds, the could die, just like his sister. In that moment he lost it, letting go of Elisa he walked away not turning to fave her when she called after him. He was in his parents nightmare, now a parent himself and there was nothing he could do to help his daughter. Walking our of the building with high stance he kept his composure kicking up dirt as a distraction.
Elisa stared at the doctor. "No are you sure?" She asked he doctor With consern.
"Now it's only a 50% chance I'm right, were getting as many doctors on it as quick as possible. now let me ask you something, do you or your husband have asthma at all?" The doctor asked.
Elisa froze in her place. She nodded. "Yes I do... Why?"
"There could be another chance melody has asthma, and a bad case, her lungs were abit strained. Was she having crying streaks at all, non stop?"
Elisa nodded.
" Right okay I want you to fill out this form and I'll change the plans with the medicans and try asthmetic medicans.." The doctor said before handing her the form and walking off. Elisa ran off to find Liam.
He didn't wander too far but he was still distraught, even so he didn't sense Elisa near by as he usually did shutting himself out from the world. Everything black to the memories of his sister.
Elisa ran up behind him. "Liam!" She called his name. "Liam.." She gently put a hand on his shoulder. "There's a possibility she might just have something else."
Jolting back to reality he felt her hand on his shoulder. "Elisa?" He asks turning his head towards her. "I have something to tell you, I shouldn't told you before we even got married. I was afraid this would happen, actually terrified."
"It's possible, most likely possible she has what killed my sister. It's genetically common in my genes." He saw the horror in her face, "I was going to tell you, but I didn't see any signs of it until this morning." He turns away. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kept that to myself."
"O-oh.." Elisa stopped in her thoughts. She looks cup to Liam and hugged him, "maybe it will be okay.. I-I mean we can't lose hope right...?" Elisa began to break down In tears. When she lost her first child a long time ago, it felt like she was getting hit in the stomach again with bad news.. She didnt want to loose melody.. Not another child.. Not another family member..
He smiles lightly. "You're right we can't," He says looking into her worried eyes. "We must also remember if she's anything like you then she'll be the strongest little girl I've ever seen." He saw that she was hesitant about what he was saying, he knew she didn't want to be left alone to take care of their sick daughter all by herself if he had to leave again. "Elisa, if this is what they say it is, I won't leave you or the kids, I promise. I watched my mother do it on her own and I promised myself I wouldn't do the same, please don't be afraid of being alone because it won't happen, I won't let it."
She looked up to Liam with teary eyes. She nodded. "T-Thank you Liam, For telling me.." She said to him. "I-I just don't want to loose her..." She said with a worried tone.
Seeing her like this made it hard for him to breathe. "I know," He whispers. "No one does, but we have to stay strong for her okay? She should have a beautiful life no matter what may be wrong. She's still our
Daughter."He gently rested her head against his chest as his shaking began to become controllable. "We'll be okay."
"I talked to the doctor before I went to find you.. They're doing tests on her to see if she might have a bad case of asthma, like I do. " she told him. "But they're really just checking her for anything at this point, anything that could e put her into a coma..."
"Let's go then." gently he pulled away from their embrace , offering his hand to help her up to her feet. Together they both made the frightful walk back into the place that would determined their daughter's future. It was a terrifying thought for Liam to try and comprehend, their daughter, not even two was about to have the rest of her life decided for her. No parent should have to go through such an experience and he surely never imagined the two of them being in this position. Just a couple of days ago Elisa said she was a perfectly heathy baby and now her life was possibly in danger.
