The next morning,

Once Gail parked her rental car on the parking lot she made her way to the entrance of the hospital, seeing several journalists and paprazzi waiting for Tracee to come outside or more family to arrive, she also saw few dozen fans at the parking lot holding get well soon signs

"Gail do you know anything?" One of the journalists asked, shoving a microphone in her face, nearly poking her eye out

"How many times do I have to tell y'all I don't talk about my family to you guys" Gail answered and shoved the microphone back "Also one of these days you'll poke someone's eyes out with those things" She added and continued her way to the entrance of the hospital

"Gail, over here, girl how did you get here?" La Toya mentioned when she saw Gail while she, Janet and her parents made their way to the elevator with a nurse

"Y'all had a direct flight from Cali?" Gail asked and hugged all of them before they all stepped into the elevator

"Yes, you didn't have a direct flight?" Janet asked

"No, I tried catching up with Tracee, I swear she is a formula one racer instead of a fashion designer, by the time I arrived at La Guardia she was on an arline flight to Germany already, I booked a flight to Amsterdam and then Berlin where I rented a car and then drove here, checked into a hotel nearby and then drove here " Gail explained

"Sweetie why didn't you call? We could've picked you up in New York " Katherine mentioned

"I wasn't thinking clearly I guess" Gail mentioned

"Well you're here now, that matters" Joseph replied

"It's down this hall and then we arrive at the room" The nurse told them once the elevator doors opened

"Thank you" They all answered and followed her down the hall where they met the security who let them in, seeing Tracee fell asleep in the chair next to the bed, resting her head on her husband's side

"That can't be comfortable" La Toya whispered while Katherine and Janet made their way to the bed

"Is that life support?" Gail asked the nurse and looked at the diffrent machines and wires

"No, ist heartbeat monitor, oxgyn monitor and blood pressure monitor, no breathing assistance" The nurse explained in her best English

"What is the diagnose?" Joseph asked her

"Right now Dr Schmid doesn't know, only he knows there is no broken bones and no brain hemorrhage, but he don't know if there is memory loss or something, Dr Schmid said he only knows that when the patient wakes up" The nurse explained

"Thank you" Gail replied

"No problem" The nurse answered and left them alone

----

"Come back to us, your babies need you and Tracee too, a mother can't outlive her baby either, come back honey" Katherine mentioned while she carefully held her son's hand

"Michael" Tracee gasped, waking up and saw the others "How did-?" She sniffed seeing the others

"Of course we'd fly out" Katherine told her and made her way to Tracee on the other side of the bed and hugged her, like only a loving mother could "Did you take care of you?" She asked, seeing Tracee was still dressed in her pajamas of the day before when she left so quickly, some mascara and eyeliner stains on her cheeks and her hair all over the place too

"No" Tracee sniffed

"Honey you need to take care of yourself too" Katherine reminded her

"Come on, let me help you" La Toya mentioned
