receiving devastating news

Stef's: POV
I was in the kitchen getting orders together when one of my employees came in and told me my father in law was here to see me. After our recent vacation at the cabin, where Lena and I renewed our wedding vows. Francesca who was helping out things in bags, baby girl stay right here
I'm gonna go to see what your grandpa wants. Amy will you finish the rest of these to go orders Stef asks the young girl, l wash my hands before leaving the kitchen. I feel something deep in my gut has happened. No matter what my instincts are telling me, l head to the dining room and see Stewart standing near the door. Hey dad what's going on, l asked him. There's been a accident at Lena's job, my mind must be playing tricks on me. is my baby okay Stef asks, l think you should sit down for this one Stewart said
No tell me right now what's going on
Stef didn't mean to be so harsh. There's no easy way to say this apparently David Matthews made another reason to the group home
Demanding to see Francesca again
According to what Margaret informed me. Lena refused to give him any information, he attacked her in her
The next word he speaks almost caused me to pass out. Where is she Dad Stef says to Stewart, when I spoke to Margaret last Lena's in surgery
She abstain a four broken ribs her jaw needed to be wired. She also stuffed some damage to her right arm
Their not sure if she'll ever be able to use it again Stewart States, no fucking way. Please tell me this is a joke Stef is having a hard time processing the news
The mother of her children was badly hurt by this son of a bitch, l came here to take you to the Seattle grace hospital. Margaret's with the girls
there wasn't none around when the assault took place if that's what your wondering Stewart replied, l need to go to let my employees know that l'm leaving. What am I supposed to tell Francesca about her mommy, Stef spoke. The blonde tries to keep her composure, l hope his sorry ass is in jail. Stef tells Stewart, he is but we have more pressing matters to deal with at the moment Stewart Stated
I leave and go back to the kitchen
Amy do you think you can hold down the fort, l have a family emergency that needs my attention Stef says to Amy. I can handle Mrs. Stef
Momma did something happen to mommy Francesca asked, Lena was better at this than me, baby we need to go to the hospital l'll explain everything soon. Can you go in my office and get my things from under neath the drawer for me Stef asks
Francesca has tears falling down her face, she walks out. I could put a bullet in that David Matthews characters head, my main concern is my wife. I take off my apron this whole mess is a complete nightmare
I follow behind my daughter who's probably terrified, he's gonna pay for what he did to this family. Mr. Matthews has fucked with the wrong one for the final time, Francesca was beside Stewart. I don't wanna talk nobody until I see my wife, we headed out to the car. The drive to the hospital was quiet, how could this happen. Over a bone marrow transplant, l get his son is ill but that doesn't give him the right to hurt Lena who's done nothing wrong
This was the same guy who abandoned his daughter because she wasn't a boy. Our daughter is not going to give her blood to some random stranger, l understand he's a child in all this. we pulled up to the main entrance of the hospital, go on inside l'll meet you guys soon as I find a parking space he tells me. I just nod my head, Francesca and l get out the car. She takes my hand and we walk through the doors, l'm not in the mood for nobody's bull shit. I walk up to patient registration, yes can you please tell me what floor is Lena foster Adams is on l say. What is your relationship to the patient she said
God give me the strength not to knock this bitch out, l'm her wife Stefanie Foster Adams Stef says to the woman
Well l need to see some identification first. We want to respect our patients privacy, l pulled out my driver's license and saw her so she can shut her damn mouth up. Sandy is her name
She types something in the computer
Your wife just got out of the surgery, they're taking her to her room which is on the fifth floor, Dr. Bailey is waiting for you there sandy said to me. My heart is breaking
I don't bother saying thank you
Me and Francesca take the elevator up to fifth floor. This is going to be a long day, l feel a migraine coming on
The doors to the elevator ding as they open up. I took my time walking down the hall, l spot my mother in law right in the waiting room. Hope and Grace were asleep in their two stroller. Has the doctor came out to speak with you yet Stef questioned Margaret, l've been sitting here for three hours waiting for an update she said. I'm glad you were there for her
When I couldn't be Margaret Stef speaks, l run my fingers through my long blonde hair. There's a doctor coming in our direction, Mrs. Foster Adams. Hi l'm Dr. Bailey l was the one who operated on your wife, she's stuffed broken jaw which we had to wired shut. Her ribs will have to heal on their own, as for her arm l'm gonna be honest. Our orthopedic surgeon was able to repair the damage, there was a lot nerve endings that was involved she may have some feeling but not much other than that we wanna keep your wife over night for observation cause when she was brought in unconscious
Rest assured there is nothing on her cat scan that was concerning, she will have a hella of a headache when she wakes up. She's going to have to take it easy for a while so no heavy lifting, no strenuous Activities Dr. Bailey updated us on Lena's condition as l take in everything Dr. Bailey is telling us about Lena's injuries.
Thank you so much Dr. Bailey for helping my wife our families is grateful for you and your team Stef told the doctor who shakes her hand
Mrs. Foster Adams if you wanna see her, she's in room 545 Dr. Bailey let's me know. I go down the hall to where Lena's at, l hate the smell of hospitals
I push the door open and walk further inside and see Lena sleeping. Stef takes a seat next to Lena's bed and holds her hand, Stef sees the brace on Lena's. Forearm Babe we're all here. I'm sorry this happened to you, l stand up and kiss her on the forehead. I feel Lena squeezing my hand, it's okay your safe now. That bastard is locked up and he will never hurt you
Stef tells Lena, I sat back down
My eyes begin to welled up with her head down in my hands asking God why did this happen to my wife who's a good hearted person?
