"You are doing amazing Zoe, just a little bit longer" Chris said, Chris walked into the emergency room and walked to the front desk,
"How can I help you?" The receptionist asked,
"Hi, um Zoe here hurt her foot badly during a landing in gymnastics and her foot is out of place" Chris said, the receptionist looked over the counter and down at Zoe's foot, her eyes widened a bit then she looked backup a Chris,
"I'm going to call in a doctor and nurse, the nurse will take you down to a room and the doctor will be in, in a minute"
"Thank you so much" the receptionist got on the intercom and called for a nurse and doctor, in a matter of a few seconds a nurse came running in,
"Is this her?" The nurse asked the receptionist,
"Yes she had a bad landing in gymnastics and dislocated her foot, maybe even broke something"
"Okay," the nurse looked up at Chris, "follow me" the nurse led Chris down the hallway until they reached a door, the nurse opened the door and ushered Chris and Zoe inside, "set her down on the bed" the nurse instructed Chris, Chris lied Zoe down on the bed, when he tried to step back Zoe's hand flung up to Chris's,
"Can you hold my hand? At least until Seb gets here"
"Of course I can" Chris gave Zoe's hand a little squeeze, they waited a few minutes for the doctor, the doctor had just walked through the door when Chris got a text from Sebastian saying he was here, "guess what kiddo, Seb is here" Chris said to Zoe,
"Really?!" Zoe asked in a relieved and happy tone,
"Yes he's here, someone is going to give him directions into here and he is going to hold your hand the whole time"
"Can you still hold my hand?" Chris smiled,
"Absolutely" Zoe let out a pained smiled and turned to the doctor,
"Okay, what's your name sweetie?" The doctor asked as he examined Zoe's foot,
"Um, Zoe"
"Okay Zoe, so just by looking at your foot I can tell you dislocated it,"
"What does that mean?" Zoe interrupted,
"It means they the bones holding it in place broke apart, so now your foot isn't in place"
"Okay"
"So to fix it I have to pop it back into place"
"Does that hurt?"
"Unfortunately it does hurt, so I'm gonna need you to squeeze the nice man's hand, (Chris) take deep breaths and count backwards from 10 when you get to zero we will do the first turn then we will do the same process again then your foot will be back in place, you ready?" Zoe nodded her head, she tightened her grip on Chris's hand took three deep breaths and started counting,
"10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3.." as Zoe was counting she couldn't help but wonder where Sebastian was, was he leaving her again? "2..1..0" the doctor spun Zoe's foot making a pound popping noise, Zoe let out a small cry of pain she closed her eyes with force as tears started to well up in her eyes,
"You did so good" the doctor said, "just one more time"
"You can do this Zoe" Chris said
"No, I want Seb" Zoe said through hiccuping breaths,
"Well look at the door" Chris prompted, Zoe opened her eyes and looked over at the door, Sebastian was standing there, right there, he had come, he didn't leave her again, Zoe broke out into a pained smiled,
"Hi sweetie"
"Daddy you came"
"Of course I did" Sebastian walked over and grabbed Zoe's other hand, he gave her hand a little kiss and then smiled down at Zoe,
