Re: CSI- NY " Danvale Case".
Going home
"Mommy...we are here. Are you ready to come home?" "I am James the bear. Just let mommy grab her bag. Where's Tony and Jimmy?" "They are coming. Hey mommy...have you seen Delilah? I wanna say good bye." "Hmm...come to think of it, no. Why don't you go ask at the nurses station."
Running down the hall James pulled on the nurses skirt. "Hey...hey nurse lady." "Well...hello James the bear, are you here to get mommy?" "We are...but where is Delilah? I want to say good bye." "Ohhh...umm...why don't we go see mommy, okay?"
Taking him by the hand they walked back into the room. "Claire...I need to share some news with you and your family. Where are they?" "We are right here...hey honey, you ready to come home?" "Mm..I am. But Nurse Betty has some information for us first."
"Sure...shoot." "Umm...our long term resident was transferred yesterday to a long term care facility." "Oh...you're kidding, can we have the address to go see her?" "Of course you can, I'm sure she'd like that very much. Just give me a few minutes to write the information down for you."
"Umm...Betty? Doesn't she have any family?" "No Claire...she's always been alone. She was a Medium for several years. A good one too. There was not one person or famous actor that she didn't help connect with those that they loved. She took care of all of them. Then when she came here, she brought hope and love to those that needed it. She's going to be sadly missed here, that's for sure. Anyways, I'll get you that information."
"Oh Tony...how's she going to handle being alone in a nursing home. Just who is she going to help there?" "Shh...come on Claire, calm down, she'll be fine sweetheart."
Once the nurse left, the doctor walked in. "Good morning Claire. All ready to go home and face life on the outside again?" "Oh would you stop Dr.Heddle. You always make this place sound like a jail." "Trust me...it is," he laughed. Now let's have one last look."
As he checked her scars, he noticed the swelling was just about gone.
"Beautiful Claire. Everything has healed nicely. I'm going to give you some cream for your scars. Apply this twice daily. It will help conceal them a bit. Then if you decide in a few weeks you would like the plastic surgery, you can let us know.
Now... where is the appointment for your Physio? Ahh..here it is. It's very important you keep these appointments, otherwise that elbow will never function normally. I'm also giving you some Oxy, you don't have to take it. It's just once you start your sessions, you'll be in alot of pain, so you may need it...and on that note, you and your family are free to go."
Laughing he left the room.
"He worries me sweetheart?" Laughing, Claire had to admit he worried her too.
"Mommy...when can we see Delilah?" "How about this afternoon. We'll drop my bags off at home, then head over there." "Yay...awesome. Thanks mommy, let's go Jimmy, we get to see Delilah."
Meanwhile Jess was jumping up and down. "I"m not fat. I'm not fat...na,na,nanana.." "Jess get off the bed before you fall and hurt our child." Catching her in his arms, he placed on her butt on the bed. "Behave Jess. Now get dressed, we have the doctors appointment in an hour."
God she was hyper. Poor Don had been trying to get her settled all morning. Once she was dressed, they headed out the door.
"Umm...Donnie...honey...can we stop and get a double fudge brownie sundae?" "If you stop jumping around and acting like a child, yes."
"Alright...I'm sorry, it's just so exciting Donnie. We actually made another child from our love."
When they pulled into the parking lot Jess's whole attitude changed.
"Good afternoon. Jessica Flack here to see Dr.Grahill." "Okay...you can have a seat Mrs.Flack. The doctor will see you shortly." Sitting down Don looked around the room. God he felt out of place. Not one expectant father or mother were over thirty.
"Excuse me...are you two having a baby?" "We are." "Wow...hey Robert...this couple are expecting. I told you older people in their late forties could concieve. These two are proof." Don lowered his head, Christ how embarrassing. What the hell was wrong with kids today?"
"It's okay honey...you should be proud. You still got it. So what if they call us old, we know were not." Kissing him passionately, the doctor called them in.
"Mr.Mrs Flack...the doctor will see you now." All Don could think was..."thank Christ." "Jess if you could come with me, I'll do your weight, and blood pressure, then I'll need a urine sample." Once they had finished their appointment, Don took Jess for her double fudge sundae.
Back at home, Claire walked towards her boys room, as she neared her door, she couldn't turn the knob. How could she, when all she could see was that horrid night when everything changed. Leaving her bag outside her own door she walked back downstairs. For she knew she couldn't face any part of that night.
"You boys ready too go?" "Are you sure mommy? You look tired, we can wait till tomorrow if you want." "No guys, grab your coats and let's go." Once they were in the car, Anthony said..."I forgot something Claire, I'll be right back." Heading back into the house, Tony knew Claire was hiding something.
Heading up the stairs he seen her bag at the door, and whispered...
"damn Claire, why didn't you just say you were scared of entering your room. Hell...for that matter Anthony you idiot, you should have known." Running back down the stairs, he knew this was something he and Claire would have to work on later. Starting the car, he reached over and took her hand, while he drove.
You'll find out more about Delilah's background soon.
