Emily's journey to happiness

Chapter 9

Elizabeth woke up early that morning noticing how wet her shirt felt she looked down and saw Emily still sucking away on her.

'Oh god that hurts I guess she was doing that all night.'

"Emily dear sweetie? It's time to get up." She looks so cute.

"Mmmm"

"Sweetie your hurting me can you please get up?"

Emily heard that and then realized she was sucking something.

'Oh god oh god... Please tell me this is a pacifier.'

Emily opened her eyes and saw Elizabeth looking down at her.

Emily noticed at that moment what she was sucking on.

"OH GOD OH GOD I'M SOOOO SORRY." Emily blushing bright red.

Elizabeth tried hard to stop a small laugh.

"It's ok sweetie it's no big deal let's just get you changed and dressed for the day." Elizabeth couldn't help but laugh at Emily's bright red face.

"Sweetie it's ok I'm not mad if you wanted to do that you should have just asked." Elizabeth smiles trying to hide her huge grin.

"I DON'T WANT TOO!!!!" Emily can believe how embarrassed she is right now.

Emily wasn't sure what she wanted to do it felt really nice but the thought of doing that made her turn bright red.

"Come on Emily you need changed you are stinky." Elizabeth knows today is going to be a blushing Emily day.

"It's not my fault." Emily says while pouting.

"It's ok I'm not mad Emily." Elizabeth says trying to make Emily relax.

"That's not the point. Mom I'm 16! I shouldn't be doing that at my age."

"Baby you are hurt and need to heal you can't control what your body wants right now." Elizabeth reaches over and pulls Emily into a tight hug not wanting to let go.

"Sweetie if you want to we can do it I'm not going to stop you, I told you I would make sure you are healthy and I'll do anything I can to help."

"I know but I've never had anyone help me before mom it's just weird."

Elizabeth carries Emily to her room and sets her on the changing table and gets to work cleaning up her wet and messy diaper.

"Sweetie I'm your mom now remember that's what mothers are for we help the best we can and do what our daughters ask if we can."

Emily starts to tear up as Elizabeth finishes taping her diaper on.

Elizabeth quickly grabs Emily and hugs her tightly knowing that Emily is about to regress.

"Shhh baby mommy's here it's ok I'm right here."

"You have done so much for me mommy I can't take you enough." Emily hugs Elizabeth as tight as she can hoping Elizabeth never let's go.

Elizabeth can't help but be worried for Emily. She hopes Emily doing this doesn't became an everyday thing.

"Emily... How old are you dear?" Elizabeth wonders what Emily's answer is.

"Ummm I'm dis many mommy." Emily holds up 3 fingers and Elizabeth almost faints.

"Sweetie mommy has a question what did we talk about a 10 minutes ago?"

"I no no mommy." Elizabeth does her best to keep herself looking calm and not panicked.

"Emily dear what do you say we go for a little car ride somewhere?"

"Where we going mommy?"

"Were going to pay the lovely doctor a visit how's that sound?"

"The night one that helped me?"

"Yes, sweetie we are going to see her does that sound fun?" Elizabeth was really worried now and had no idea what was happening.

"Ok mommy." Emily looked at Elizabeth and smiled like a innocent toddler.

Elizabeth put Emily in her crib while she went downstairs and had a freak out.

"Shit shit shit what in the hell is going on?!?!?! She was fine a little bit ago what in the hell happened!!!" Elizabeth realizes she must call the doctor to try and find out what the hell is going on.

"Yes, this is Elizabeth Kelly I need to talk to Doctor Holloway please."

Elizabeth waits for a few minutes before the doctor picks up the phone.

"Yes, Elizabeth what seems to be the problem?"

"It's Emily she's thinks she's three and is talking like a three-year-old what do I do?"

"Crap I was afraid of this bring her in right away this might be worse than I thought it was when you first brought her in."

"What might be worse?" Elizabeth was extremely worried now hoping that it was not life threatening. 

"We found some other things when we did the C.T scan."

"What things?" Elizabeth was near tears at this point.

"A day after you left, I went back over the scans and a found a few more breaks I was worried about."

"What kind of breaks?"

"To be honest Elizabeth it looks like someone tried to smash her skull in and kill her."

Elizabeth then remembers back to the horror story's she was told by Emily about the home she ran away from. She wonders if the man tried to kill her to make sure she couldn't rat him out.

"How old does the damage look?" Elizabeth asked worried.

"Hard to say but I would guess between 3 to 5 years at least."

Elizabeth's worst fears had come true. She had hopped that man hadn't hurt Emily anymore, but she was wrong and now she was a piss off mother.

"I'm bring her in if that's ok doctor." Elizabeth with venom in her voice.

"I was about to ask you to we need to watch her and see if we can find out what triggers this so we can at least expect it."

"Ok I'm on my way in." Elizabeth hurried back upstairs and found Emily asleep In her crib. She gently picked Emily up then grabbed her diaper bag and carried her downstairs careful not to wake her.

Elizabeth then gently places Emily in her car seat and buckled her in before getting in the front seat and heading out to the Doctors in the snow.
