A Different Way To Finding Each Other

Not Just A Bruise

It is the first of November and the triplets sixth birthday passed, Halloween passed as well and all the kids were getting ready for Thanksgiving and all the grades were making Thanksgiving decorations for home and for their classes.

Lena was in her office on a small break and eyed Timothy. "Come in," she replied.

"What's up?" she asked. She figured it was about one of her kids or class advice.

"A concern about Callie," he replied. "She was asleep in class today and after I woke her up she went back down."

"What?" Lena asked. "I haven't noticed anything lately."

"Maybe you can ask Stef or Robert. I'm just concerned," he said. Lena nodded. Lena was too.

She called Robert and Stef and they came right away. "What's wrong?"

"Timothy came to see me. He is concerned about Callie since he caught her asleep in class and after he woke her up, he turned around and she  was asleep again."

"What?" Robert asked. "Have you talked to her?"

"Not yet. They are all in class. How about recess?"

"Agreed," Stef replied. Robert bit his lip and wondered what his daughter had and he met Lena and Stef's eyes. 

At recess, Lena, Stef and Robert did not see Callie and wondered where she was.

"Have you seen your baby sister?" Robert asked Matthew, Max, Caleb and Callum. 

"She went to the restroom daddy," Caleb said. Robert nodded.

"Which one?" Lena asked.

"The one across from class mama," Max said. Lena nodded.

In the restroom, Callie bit her lip and splashed water on her face and sighed. She was tired and it just started a few days ago. She cried because she wanted to sleep and decided to go to her mama's office and opened the door and went to the couch and went to take a nap.

"Where are you going Callie?" Lexi asked.

"To my mama's office. I'm tired," the girl replied. 

"But it's recess," Lexi said. "What do I tell her?"

"The truth," she said. "I'm tired."

At recess, Lena saw Lexi and the girls. "Girls where is Callie?" Lena asked worried.

"In your office. She's tired," Lexi replied. "She's asleep on the couch."

Lena, Robert and Stef took off and ran for their daughter and ran into Lena's office and ran in and eyed her asleep and all three knew it wasn't normal.

"Baby girl?" Lena asked.

"Mama?" Callie whined. "I'm tired."

"Why?" Robert asked. "Anything else?"

"No just tired," she said.

"Early bedtime," Stef replied.

"Okay," Callie whispered out as Lena made an appointment with the kids Doctor, Dr. Cecelia Maynard and for her earliest appointment which was a week from now and all they could do was wait.

Robert motioned for Lena and Stef to follow him. "I'm worried. I can't wait a week."

"What are you saying?" Lena asked.

"My Doctor can see them any time," he replied. "Well?"

"Do it," Lena replied as he called.

He came back. "He can see her at three today."
