Emma:

I get to the hospital and grab Olivia out of her seat. Suddenly I see Lukes truck pull up next to me.
"Daddy! Daddy!" She screamed in my ear.
I put her sown and she runs to Luke who the proceeds to pick her up and spin her. I walk towards them and we start walking towards the hospital. I see Mom, Alicia, and Travis all waiting in the front.
"Daddy, put me down. I want to go to Aunt Alicia." Olivia said
"Okay, sweet heart but you have to be quiet for the next few minutes." Luke told her
"Okay, daddy. I promise." She replied
We finally make it to them and say our hello's.
"Hey sis, can you watch Olivia. She really wants to be with you." I asked
"Yeah, no prob. I love that little munchkin. Come here Olivia." She said
Olivia goes to her and they start talking about whatever they talk about.
Finally we make it inside, when mom goes up and speaks to the doctor in charge of Nick.

"How is Nick?" I asked
"He has a bruised rib, concussion... Physically your son is lucky, but I'm more worried-" suddenly mom interrupted"toxicology"
"- there's that but-" "Heroin's his drug of choice. What did he take?" Mom asked
"He is over 18 ma'am. I can't tell you any more than I could tell the police." He replied
"They are here/They're here" I said at the same time as mom
"You should of led with that" mom added
"Nick presented as delusional Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Hobbs. Witnesses said he ran in to traffic with intent." The doctor said
"He was high" I snarked back
"He was ranting. We had to restrain him. I requested a psych consult." He said
"No need I will do it myself. If you didn't know I am a world class renowned surgeon for my many specialties." I told him
"Then you should know that family can not operate or talk to family." He replied snarkly
"Fine but it better be a god damn good consult." I said
I walk off with Mom while Luke stayed with Alicia and Olivia.

"She's not listening" I heard before turning a corner. Finally Nick's room

In Nicks room

I see these two officers talking to mom.
"Is my son under arrest?" Mom asked or more like demanded to know
"No ma'am" One of the officers replied
"Then get out. Thank you. Leave." She told them
"We could charge him." They said
"No, you won't or I'll be getting you both fired and you don't want me to do that." I told them
"And who are you, ma'am?" They asked
"I am his older sister. Now you won't be charging Nick, or I'll call my superior to get you fired and trust me they can." I said while showing my FBI badge to them.
"Yes ma'am. Sorry ma'am. Well be leaving, no charges will be pressed." They said, practically running out of the room.

I look around my surroundings and see Alicia and Olivia listening to something, while mom is talking to Nick. Travis is right beside her and Luke is looking at some paperwork.

"Hey Nicky."
"Hi, sissy." He said, sounding tired
"Can you tell me what happened today?" I asked
" I just tried beating the light." He said
"Okay, what about the restraints?" I asked
"Did you try to hurt yourself?" Mom asked
"No mom. Emma it was just an accident. It was just an accident." He told us
"Alright, I'm gonna call for a bed." Mom said
"No, No, No. Mom, no. I'm not going back. It doesn't even help. You can't help me." He said rushed
"Listen to your mother, Nick." Travis said
"You definitely can't help me." Nick said back
"Hey" mom said but he continued on "you can't do shit." "Nick" mom warned
"Really. You can't--" "He's just--" mom interrupted "None of you can--can you just leave me alone? Can you just let me go?" Nick said
"There's an idea." Alicia said out loud
"Alicia, not helping right now." Travis told her
"I'm not trying to help, Travis." She replied
"What did you say?" Mom asked or more like stated
"It's none of his business anyway." She said
"Okay that is enough all of you. Alicia go to the car. Luke, honey can you take Olivia with you and go downstairs. Travis--" I was saying before a phone went off. Travis then leaves the room.

"Okay Olivia, baby say bye bye to Uncle Nick. Your going to go with daddy, downstairs." I told her
"Okay mommy. Bye bye Uncle Nick I hope you feel better." She said
"Bye Livvy. I promise when I'm better we can color together." Nick said

With Luke and Emma
"Hey babe, I'll be downstairs in 5 minutes let me just talk to Nick real quick." I said
"Okay, but when we get home we have to talk. I got some interesting papers from the FBI and I think you have the same papers. When you are in class read them, ok." He said
"OK, I will. Is it something we need to be concerned about?" I asked
"From what I read yes so get home fast. I'll see you down in 5." He told me
"Ok, then I'll get home fast." I said

I then walk in Nicks room and see mom talking to him already.

"Hey, baby bro. You mind telling me what happened?" I asked
"Emma, I swear I didn't mean to run in the street but there was just a lot of blood and I saw Glo--Gloria eating someone. I swear I'm telling the truth. Please believe me." He said
"Oh, Nicky. I do. I will always believe you. Can you tell me where this happened?" I asked
"At some abandoned church. It's were all us druggies go." He said.
"Okay. Get some rest. I gotta go but I'll be back okay and I'll bring the kiddos. I love you." I told him
"Ok, sissy. Love you too." Nick said
Me and mom exit the room to let him sleep

In the hallway

"Hey was that Liza?" Mom asked
"Yeah, she send her best or something like that." He said
"Mom don't forget you have college applications today." I told her
"Go. I'll watch Nick." Travis said
"I've got to find a facility where he's not blacklisted." Mom said
"I can do that. Stacy can sub for me. Leave him with me. I'll stay." He siad
"Barf. I just threw up. Mom I'm heading to school. Bye Travis thanks for watching him." I said

Downstairs

"Hey, Olivia come on sweet heart you'll be with me for the day. Your daddy has to go back to work." I said
"Okay mommy. Bye daddy. See you later." She said
"Babe, don't forget to read the file and come straight home after getting the kids. I love you." He said
"I will, I promise. I love you too." I said
