Scared to death -- Winter 2002

I looked at my family and chuckled a bit when Seth asked me that question.  "I'm perfectly fine," I said to him.  "So you best do as your mumsy says and not try to get away with anything."

I took hold of Des's hand and sighed.  "That she did," I said quietly.  "I just hope that the healing goes well and she'll be able to be a normal little girl."

I chuckled at Seth and sat down, letting Rosalynn sit on my lap.  She was awfully quiet -- which was not like her at all.  I looked over at my brother.  "At least no one can pull the wool over your eyes at the moment," I said, relieved that Bill was doing alright.

Hope Howell wrote:I smiled at him and shook my head.  "Quite the contrary," I said to him.  "I need to thank you.  My own daughter did not want me to come because she ethought it would make it hard on you... and you told me about my granddaughter being ill.  I do appreciate it a lot, Remus.  Thank you.  I am very happy I could be here for my daughter and it's because of you."

I nodded and smiled slightly.  "She's your daughter; she needs you," I replied softly.  "Every child needs their mother whether they want to admit it or not.  Of course I had to let you know what was going on.  Quinn's your grandchild... you deserved to know."

I was surprised to hear Remus say such a thing, but was pleased to hear it.  I smiled at him.  "Ah, yes, well, at least someone was wise in this situation," I said, meaning him.

Holding my daughter close to me while my husband was connected to wires and machines. It was nerve racking and I admittedly hated seeing him like this. I was relieved he was okay. Ros was quiet, which I understand. I felt horrible for being so worried, my relief was tearing up my vision. I was glad he was okay, I kept repeating that over and over in my head. This is going to be a long recovery for him. I found an empty chair. I let his brother and our children see him first.

Relieved that everyone was okay. For now had eliviated a lot of stress. I saw tonks and she looked like a ball of it. " hey sweetheart. Come sit with me and your aunt. " I said as I wanted to give Tonks a moment of child free time to just be relieved. "How about we go to the cafeteria?"
