Chapter 30

"Alright, ladies,” The Emergency Room doctor said as he came back into the room, “Marissa's labs are back, and it looks like she has a slight case of the stomach flu.” Alex looked relieved. “I want you to give her lots of fluids and watch her for the next few days. Try to stick with soups, juices, and water for now, and it should clear up quickly.” The Doctor said, handing Alex the discharge papers. Before leaving the room, he added. “Don’t forget to make a follow up with her Pediatrician for Monday, and bring her back if she gets any worse.” Letting out a sigh, Kelly flipped the man off as the door closed behind him. “That man has no bedside manner. He didn't say two words to Dej. Oh that makes me mad!” She vented, helping Dej down from the gurney. Chuckling, Alex placed her hand on the small of Kelly's back as the threesome headed for the exit. “Calm down, Babe. It's busy in here and I'm sure he was just trying to be expedient.” Kelly gave Alex a sideways glare. “That's no excuse. He still should have engaged her at least a little bit.” She grumbled under her breath. Shaking her head, Alex kissed Kelly on the cheek before helping Dej into the car.

Once her daughter was situated, Alex slid into the car and reached for her phone. After she had made the follow up appointment for Monday, She put the car in gear and backed out of the parking space. “Do you mind if we stop at the store after we swing by your place?” She asked Kelly, turning onto the freeway. “No, I don’t mind, that's a good idea actually, I want to pick up a few things myself.” Kelly replied. During the visit to the ER, the two women had decided that Kelly would stay at Alex's for the rest of the weekend to help out. At first, Kelly was hesitant to agree, concerned that Alex may start to get bored with her presence. After she had voiced her concerns, Alex had swept them away with a wave of her hand and a happy smile. She had assured Kelly that she would love to have her there and that she missed her too much when she was gone. Dej had weighed in too, telling the two women in no uncertain terms, that she wanted Kelly there while she was sick. “We'll come in too, that way if Dej needs the bathroom, it will be right there.” Alex said as she pulled in front of Kelly's house. Each woman took Dej's hand and together they walked through the gate. “Stop.” Alex commanded suddenly when the trio reached the porch, “Wait out here.” She said, pointing to the front door which stood ajar.

Taking out her phone, Alex quickly dialed Steve. “Hey, Steve, it's Alex. Kelly, Dej, and I are here at Kelly's house, and it looks like someone broke in.” She said when the man answered.
