When I woke up, I slowly gained my senses and heard the doctor talking to someone, then I yelped in pain when I realized that I couldn't move a muscle. The doctor came up to the bed that I was in and said "Mrs. Hughes are you okay?" I heard the man with a strong British accent. I couldn't talk, I had a mask over my mouth. He took it off and put the flashlight in my eyes and he said "shake your head if you understand me"158Please respect copyright.PENANA8DqLCgCONX
I did just that and I said my first words "W-where is my daughter? Where's Mackenzie?!" I tried to get up but the doctor put me back down on the bed because I had a neck brace on. I jerked at the sudden sharp pain in my neck. 158Please respect copyright.PENANAYwS44jQ2SM
"Miss I'ma need you to calm down, the little girl that was with you, she is in the NICU."158Please respect copyright.PENANAq1WPh17UDu
"What why!! Is she okay?!" My heartbeat increased at how panicked I was getting.158Please respect copyright.PENANAHvWITEEcwb
"Yes, she is just resting"158Please respect copyright.PENANAieL7fKdKun
Then a police officer with a thick Latino accent came up to me and said, "Miss, we called your husband should be here in--"158Please respect copyright.PENANAhTLSOXDEYx
"No! I'm fine" When I tried to get up again to prove to them, I can walk, a sharp pain crept up on me near my left hip. I jerked in pain. He held back onto the bed and said158Please respect copyright.PENANAeI1dU5QJWk
"Mrs., can you tell me your name?"158Please respect copyright.PENANAn2HRH4I3Aw
"Aria Martinez Hughes"158Please respect copyright.PENANAI39J702A0z
"Okay Mrs. Hughes, do you know what happen to you?"158Please respect copyright.PENANACNC1XEdCZ6
"All I remember was yelling at my daughter and then I almost bashed into this car then I just woke up confused "158Please respect copyright.PENANA4NpUvG9DWC
"Okay, I'm Detective Valentine, I work for the Onix PD, I was the one to call the ambulance at the scene"158Please respect copyright.PENANA4ASi0FJLSZ
"Thank you" 158Please respect copyright.PENANAD2WaOxGbXd
Then the doctor said "Mrs. Hughes what happened to you and your daughter was almost tragic. So, we needed to give you an emergency cat scan to see if you had any broken bones because you were hit hard. If it wasn't for you and your daughter having y'all belts on, it would have been a lot worse."158Please respect copyright.PENANALZBP4fGzVA
"Is there anything wrong with me?"158Please respect copyright.PENANAqDE4f1vdDL
"Surprisingly, no....however you have a few minor bruises on your left thigh and tired tissue on your left thigh so we gave you antibacterial antiseptic to numb the pain for a few hours."158Please respect copyright.PENANALq17VN9aaz
"Thank you"158Please respect copyright.PENANA3OwsZRPwNb
"However, when we we're looking at your chest, we noticed you had a bruise on your shoulder and one broken rib bone which was close to your lungs if you breathed in any bigger it would have killed you by infection if we haven't repaired it in time, how did that happen?"158Please respect copyright.PENANAW4u3onePzi
"Oh, I um didn't notice that I had that, that doesn't matter right now is my daughter okay? Did she get hurt?"158Please respect copyright.PENANAeRVrQa4zrv
"Yes, she only had a sprained wrist, the reason why you got more impact was that the airbag impact hut you"158Please respect copyright.PENANA6WQONMnrWw
"Maybe that's how I got the rib fracture"158Please respect copyright.PENANAMUr4ziHve3
"But from the looks of bruising, it looked like it had been that way for a few weeks"158Please respect copyright.PENANAuwG0V7rcQu
"Oh I'm sure my theory is right"158Please respect copyright.PENANAquw3HezyyZ
"Do you mind if I call your husband he is on your emergency contact list"158Please respect copyright.PENANAtrQNiR0t7R
"No, I'm fine just give me the papers to discharge me and my daughter "158Please respect copyright.PENANAFzuEeKjHdv
"But I can't allow you to do that until you are stable"158Please respect copyright.PENANAMIaGuJ2vLc
"I'm twenty-six years old, I'm a big girl I can handle my own, now what room is my daughter in?"158Please respect copyright.PENANAKReOvjuezG
"I can't let you leave, hospital law mam"158Please respect copyright.PENANA2WiSEz0svo
"I need to see if Mackenzie is okay, I will listen to you when I see that my baby is okay"158Please respect copyright.PENANAc5LuP1pjys
"Fine, first I need to go get her, be back in a jiff" When he left, the police officer was watching a lookout for me because he didn't look like he believed my excuses. Suddenly a familiar voice said, "Excuse me but is Marie Hughes in there?"158Please respect copyright.PENANAN970gcdRk4
It was from Scott. I was happy then frightened to see him here. I bet he's going to blame me for it. He tried to push his way through but the officer didn't allow him. And said "Yes, she is, but you can't go in there"158Please respect copyright.PENANAvYC7PGoA9R
"Why not? "158Please respect copyright.PENANANagmk9TC8j
"Who are you?"158Please respect copyright.PENANAMHvbtae2vK
"Scott Hughes, her husband"158Please respect copyright.PENANAUrXYG1iHpP
"I need to see some ID" Scott pulled out his card and I said 158Please respect copyright.PENANAIXKGGa4lMZ
"Scott! I'm so happy to see you!"158Please respect copyright.PENANAPyyN5HwAFO
He was in shock to see me like this, but I saw something I haven't seen since the day he found out his mother died tears. Actual tears. He came up to me and kissed my cheek and said "I'm sorry, the car accident was my fault I-"158Please respect copyright.PENANAx9lDmdlpfs
"That doesn't matter right now. What matters is the fact that you and Mac is okay"158Please respect copyright.PENANAroEwSvn9Re
"You saw her?!"158Please respect copyright.PENANAM8OuPZGRbP
"No, but I know that she is okay"158Please respect copyright.PENANAcQWhYMBWYq
He gave me a dozen kisses on my cheeks and lips. Then I asked, "Why are you crying?"158Please respect copyright.PENANAE4Ppb8xXhO
"I could have lost my family... I can't bear to lose y'all too, to a car crash"158Please respect copyright.PENANAhoHvJSyh3q
"I'm fine baby we are okay."158Please respect copyright.PENANALH3jsNRwcy
158Please respect copyright.PENANAglac4QtO88
I started crying as he held my hand in his. Mr. Valentine smiled at how happy we were. If he only knew it was for a moment. Suddenly the door opened and I saw the doctor holding a little girl's hand then i saw the girl's mother was in a cast. The doctor was holding the pole, with a wire attached to an I.V that was in her forearm of her left arm. I looked surprised to see that it was my beautiful baby girl Mackenzie. When she saw me, it's like her smile lit my whole world. She joyfully said "Mami! Daddy!" As she came up to Scott, she hugged him, but he just rubbed her back and asked "Are you, okay baby girl?"158Please respect copyright.PENANANoPQafIrez
"Yeah daddy"158Please respect copyright.PENANAecngy4tacf
Then she turned to me and went up I the bed and kissed my cheek. I started to cry. She asked me "Why are you crying mama because I have a boo boo cut?"158Please respect copyright.PENANAnnxLeHFwp2
"No sweetheart, because I'm glad you are okay" 158Please respect copyright.PENANAiapT2rPIt3
I kissed her cheek and said "I love you...I love y'all "158Please respect copyright.PENANAsErSOmcvNM
"Love you Mami, don't cry I will be okay, your boo boo's will heal right?"158Please respect copyright.PENANA2kx449NW0V
"Yeah sweetie, but with time"158Please respect copyright.PENANAmuflh449lK
"I hope so"158Please respect copyright.PENANArhIGXcej1g
The doctor and Mr. V smiled at us and the doctor said, "You are going to need to stay here for two days for observation on your healing, but your husband can discharge your daughter if you want" Before I got to reject his request, Scott said, "I will discharge her"158Please respect copyright.PENANA3MivdYHyJv
"That's fine, Sir let me go get the papers then"158Please respect copyright.PENANAU4tG1zbgkz
"Okay" 158Please respect copyright.PENANAB1mWlnon9H
158Please respect copyright.PENANA9nMtNLQVhh
Two minutes later I saw Chassidy come in and stood in shock to see officer Valentine guarding the door and Scott having tears. From the looks of it I think she knows Mr. V. From the sight of me she almost lost her skin tone. But when she gained consciousness and asked "Aria, Mackenzie, are yall okay?!" We both nodded our heads in response.158Please respect copyright.PENANA4ht534FQgH
"I heard what had happened, I rushed here from work"158Please respect copyright.PENANATNaT19YmjM
"What the hell why you get out of work you still on the clock?"158Please respect copyright.PENANAoQlmsNjsTI
"Yeah"158Please respect copyright.PENANAg7XhyayKeI
"Why you out, you'll get fired!"158Please respect copyright.PENANAjMKgtJKuoT
"I don't care family is more important to me, can you tell me what happened?"158Please respect copyright.PENANAp9Y2e6rJRe
I did just that and she hugged both of us afterward. She never liked Scott so she was never really happy with him. But she knew I loved him so for the sake of me and my daughter she forced herself to accept him.
