Mom's Gone Crazy #28: Reunited At Last.

Naomi wakes up to her mother no where to be found, Malia had come over to watch her.

---------------------

"Mommy!" Naomi cries out, she woke from a bad dream.

Malia comes into the room, "your mommy isn't back yet. I'm growing worried too."

The hours turned into overnight and by morning Malia knew something was wrong. She decided to grab Naomi and take a little drive over to Troy's.

When she got there the front door was open and there was police tap everywhere.

"Hello?!" She called out, climbing under the tape, making her way through the home. "TROY?! ANNE?! KIRA?!"

There was no answer, she was then greeted in the hall by an officer. "Ma'm do you know the owner of this home?"

"I know the family, why?" She asked, holding tight to Naomi.

"The gentleman here was found deceased and the woman she was brutally attacked but was still breathing when the ambulance had arrived." He explained.

"OH MY GOD!" She screamed, crying and holding Naomi in her arms. "I'm the babysitter, where is the other child?!"

"She's sitting in the police cruiser out front."

She ran back through the house and over to the car, where she was greeted by another officer. "I'm the babysitter, please let me see Kira."

"Certainly ma'm." He opened the door and Kira smiled up at her, "Hi!"

"Oh my god!" She cried again, putting Naomi down.

Kira climbed out of the car and went over to hug Malia. They were strangers but Kira knew when she saw Naomi, that it was okay.

Malia was sobbing uncontrollably, "we have to go to the hospital." She said shaking, "Am I free to take Kira with me?!"

"Yes, she's alright to go with you. Are you sure you're alright to drive?" He asks, rubbing her back.

"Yes." She wiped her soaked face, "I'll be fine."

They got into Malia's car and off to the hospital they went.

Malia burst through the doors and asked about Anne Peterson. They said she was in room D-13 and Malia took the girls and hurried off to the room. 

She was greeted there by the doctor, "Doctor I'm Malia the babysitter of Anne's children, is she gunna be okay?!" She asked sobbing again.

"You can go ahead and go in and see her, I don't recommend the children follow though it might be very upsetting for them."

She sighs deeply, the nurse comes out of Anne's room, "I can watch them a few minutes if you'd like."

"Thank you."

Malia enters the hospital room, there was Anne. "Oh my god Anne! What happened?!"

"M-maila?" Anne said reaching out her hand to her.

"Yes, I'm here I'm here for you."

"Where are my daughters?" She asked, crying.

"I have them, they are safe." 

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart." Anne whispered, squeezing tight to her.

"Will you be okay?" She asks, scared.

"The doctor said it was miraculous and that I would survive."

"Thank the lord!" She cried out, pulling you into a gentle hug.

"I want you to take the girls home, I will return when I can."

Malia sniffled and wiped her face, "I will do that for you, take care okay."

"Thank you again, for everything."

The days went by, Malia grew nervous but hopeful. She checked in with Anne each day, waiting for her return. 

It was now Sunday afternoon a week had passed, Anne finally could come home.

Malia called the hospital to ask for Anne and the front desk said she was already released. She cried happily, going into the bedroom where Kira and Naomi played. "Your mommy is coming home!" 

"YAY!" They both cheered, getting up from their toys and ran over to both give Malia a hug.

Malia went out to the livingroom and waited for her, while the girls returned to their fun.

The front door opened and Malia jumped up from the couch, going to the front door.

"Malia." She said excidely.

"Oh Anne, it's wonderful to see you up and moving."

"I agree, I was scared I never would again." She explains.

They share a hug, not too tight though as Anne was still bandaged up and in quite a bit of pain.

"Where are the girls?" She asks.

"In their room, I should go and not intrude on your personal time." Malia says, "I made tea, the water is still hot."

"You don't have to go."

"I should, I should get home to my family, hug them and be thankful for their lives." 

"Good idea then, thank you again for everything." They hugged once more.

Malia said goodbye to Kira and Naomi, each giving them a hug, "I'm off now, I'll be back again soon."

They each said goodbye to her and she fought back the tears, yet again.

Malia then left the home and Anne was overwhelmed with emotions, going into the bedroom.

"Mommy!" Kira and Naomi both cried out happily, running up to give her a hug.

"I'm back and I'm here to stay." She said crying onto each of their shoulders. "I love you both so very much."

"I love you too mommy."

The three of them spent the afternoon together, Anne missed her family so much. She was thrilled the two girls were reunited at last.

Deep in her heart though she felt awful and felt regret for how she left things off with Troy, how they fought and were screaming at one another just before he died. She couldn't believe he was sexually confiding in another woman but Anne couldn't sleep at night now, she knew she had to do something.
