Jillian lets out a frustrated sigh and turns to Ewan...

Jillian: You're the head of this household, Ewan. If this is what you want to have happen....I can arrange it.

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 02, 2011 6:42 am

Ewan tries to remain composed.

Ewan: Out of the question.

You're smarter than that Jilly. Don't let her get to you.... Erin loves you dearly. It's hurting her to say these things but she's trying to force you to.... do it.... you did the same thing to me..... you wouldn't believe the things you said to me.

Cryonix Wed Mar 02, 2011 6:46 am

Jillian: Then what would you have this hospital do, Ewan? The orderlies and nurses are no match for her. If she gets out of those restraints, she could take everyone in this hospital apart. My staff is recommending a constant Thorazine drip. Constant....Constant sedation. You realize what that means, right?

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 02, 2011 6:51 am

Ewan fights very hard to restrain himself.

Ewan: Yes....honey..... I am very well aware of what that means.... thankyou.

Cryonix Wed Mar 02, 2011 6:54 am

Jillian gives him a look and shakes her head. She's about to respond when...

Nurse Station: Dr. De Silva-Edwards to room 3704, Dr. De Silva-Edwards to room 3704.

She gives one more look to Ewan then leaves the room, not saying a word...

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 02, 2011 7:07 am

Ewan looks towards Alex and Alexis.

Ewan: I think it would be for the best if the two of you were to leave. Say goodbye to your aunt.

Alex hugs Erin.

Alex: Bye Aunt Erin.

Erin: Bye kid. I hope the two of you are very happy together.

Alex takes Lexi's hand and leaves the room.

Ewan: You'd do this to him?

Erin: He doesn't need me.... my kids don't need me.... you sure as hell don't need me-

Ewan: Erin-

Erin: Stop Ewan. I know you love me..... so please.... don't let me suffer.

Ewan sits with his head in his hands, bawling, in essence completely alone at this moment.

There is a knock on door. A tall black man wearing a lab coat and holding a clipboard enters...

Man: Ms. Edwards? I'm Dr. Richards. Dr. Edwards asked me to come in here and check your vitals.

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 02, 2011 8:22 am

Erin: Making sure I'm still breathing huh?

Cryonix Wed Mar 02, 2011 8:44 am

Dr. Richards: Yes, well....we want to see you healthy. Dr. Edwards is very concerned for you.

He goes through the checklist one by one, making sure the levels of the machines and everything are alright. He allows himself a smile at Erin as he finishes...

Dr. Richards: Everything seems to be pretty normal, though your blood pressure is elevated.

He takes a damp cloth and wipes her forehead...

Dr. Richards: Let's see if this keeps you a little cooler...

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 02, 2011 8:50 am

Erin: Going to take more than a damp cloth Doctor.

Cryonix Wed Mar 02, 2011 8:56 am

He continues to dot her forehead with the towel...

Dr. Richards: Oh? Dr. Edwards really didn't mention the situation. She said it was a ...'family matter'. Ah...there. That seems a little better.

He checks the blood pressure one more time and it seems to be going down...

Dr. Richards: A little care seems to go pretty far.

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 02, 2011 8:59 am

Erin: A little care? .... There isn't enough care in the world to fix me.

Cryonix Wed Mar 02, 2011 9:04 am

Dr. Richards: That's a sad thought...a woman with a face like yours should have a smile on it all the time.

Ahem...

Jillian: Thank you, Dr. Richards. It seems my sister in law has calmed down a bit.

Dr. Richards: Not a problem, though I should get back to the E.R. Listen...if you'd like me to come back up and check on her...just let me know. I'd be happy to.

Jillian: That's sweet, Cameron. Thanks.

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 02, 2011 9:07 am

Ewan hasn't moved. Erin cant look at Jillian.

Erin: I.... I'm sorry Jillian.

Cryonix Wed Mar 02, 2011 9:09 am

Jillian playfully pops her on the head...

Jillian: We're sisters, we spat. I still love you Erin.

She hugs her as best she can...then walks over to Ewan...

Jillian: ...and you too, my big, bald headed knight in white armor...

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 02, 2011 9:12 am

Ewan looks up at her his eyes still bright red and soaking wet.

Ewan: You too love.

Cryonix Wed Mar 02, 2011 9:20 am

Jillian: Come on love....we'll get though this. Together. Now...Erin, they are asking me to speak to a group of residents for an hour or so, which means I won't be able to check your vitals....but Cameron...I mean, Dr. Richards has offered to come up and check on you. Is that alright?

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 02, 2011 9:26 am

Erin looks indifferent.

Erin: Sure.... you do what you have to.

Cryonix Wed Mar 02, 2011 9:32 am

Walking into the room very slowly is Jayden Cortez. He is wearing a black suit and blood red tie, and an Edwards family crest lapel pin. In his hands he is holding what looks to be a certificate. He takes off his sunglasses and looks at his mom....stunned....

Jayden: ...m...mother?

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 02, 2011 9:34 am

Erin slams her eyes shut tightly. She can't even look at him.

Erin: Hey sweetie.

Cryonix Wed Mar 02, 2011 9:39 am

Jayden looks over and Ewan and Jillian and gives them both hugs before approaching his mother...

Jayden: Gabriel called and....I....Mom....what....

He clears his throat and Ewan can hear him mumble to himself, "Be strong. Uncle and Alex would be...so should you..." He composes himself....

Jayden: I'm here mother. I'll help anyway I can...

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 02, 2011 9:43 am

Erin still has her eyes shut.

Erin: I know sweetie I know..... It's fine. It's not your problem.

Ewan goes over to Jayden and puts his arm around him.

Ewan: It's OK to be upset Jayden..... I certainly am.

Cryonix Wed Mar 02, 2011 9:46 am

Jayden: You're my mother...of course it's my problem.

He looks up at Ewan...

Jayden: Uncle...I....I did it. I...mother look....you too...

Jayden shows the certificate that certifies him as a recipiant of a Rhodes Scholarship...

Cruel Britannia Wed Mar 02, 2011 9:53 am

Ewan smiles at him.

Ewan: We never doubted it for a second Jayden..... There's already a spot cleared on the wall for this at home.

Erin: That's great baby..... I'm so.... so proud of you.

Erin sobs lightly couple of times, before curling up into a ball and burying her face in her pillow.

Ewan: I'm sorry Jayden.... she really is proud of you.... she's just.... distracted at the moment.

Cryonix Wed Mar 02, 2011 10:01 am

Jayden: Uncle...what happened here? Who did this to her?
