Continuation of Chapter 10...
After calling the police, Michael knew that he needed to take Bailey to the ER for an exam and a urine test for evidence purposes. Even though she said she got away before Shark had the chance to assault her, they still needed that proof. Plus, because of the effects of the drug, she may not have remembered exactly everything that happened. Michael then contacted his old friend from the Hospital who coincidentally had been working that night and was waiting at the front doors for Michael and Bailey when they arrived. Of course Michael was carrying her in because she was still passed out. At one point during the exam, Bailey's eyes opened and the expression on her face looked like one of confusion, but she couldn't speak or move any part of her body. Michael tried his best to calm her and let her know everything was ok. Because the drug can cause urinary retention, Bailey was given a catheter for a urine sample. They also gave a collection cup to Michael for her to give another sample when she was able to walk again in case this one wasn't good enough. Michael thanked his friend and everyone else who helped with his daughter deeply. After one of the nurses fully dressed Bailey, Michael then went in, picked her up and carried her back to the car. Once home he made it known to the kids that he would not be leaving Bailey's side until she was fully conscious and could move again. Derrick was now in charge of everything.
"Man, I'm gonna kick Shark's A**!" Derrick said gritting his teeth in anger.
"I understand completely son," Michael said, slowly taking Bailey up the stairs, "but you will do no such thing. The police are taking care of it."
Derrick grumbled. He knew his dad was right, but that sure as heck didn't stop him from WANTING to!
When morning dawned, it had been about twelve hours since Bailey inadvertently ingested the drug. All throughout the night her eyes were open, but her body and mind were lifeless. Michael held her hand tightly and did his best to reassure her that everything was ok. A couple of times he would check her vitals and they were still poor, but slightly improving. A little after 3 AM, he finally crashed, leaned over with his head on the bed beside Bailey. When the morning light shone through the window onto his eyes, Michael woke and took a quick glance at his watch. It was 6:05. He sat himself up in the chair and stretched, feeling a little achy from the odd sleeping position. When he looked at Bailey, her eyes were closed. He checked her pulse again and it was back to normal. He let out a breath of relief. He gently lifted one of her eyelids to see if her pupils were no longer dilated and the redness was gone. They were. While he did that, he was surprised to find Bailey move her head slightly, like she was about to wake.
"Bailey?" he said softly stroking her cheek. "Are you with me?"
Bailey took a deep breath in and then out again as she slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was still a little blurred, but she could clearly see the loving face of her father looking down on her. She felt him take her hand.
"Dad?"
Michael smiled. She's conscious! "Yes Bailey," he answered, "I'm here. How do you feel?"
Bailey rubbed at her eyes. "I dunno dad," she replied, "I feel weak and confused."
"That's completely normal."
"What happened to me?"
Michael then proceeded to tell her everything that happened in the past 12 hours. Afterwards Bailey's eyes were filled with tears. Michael gently wiped them away. "It will be alright," he said, but that didn't help calm her. She cried harder. Michael felt it best to just let her get it all out and waited until she was ready to talk again. He handed her a tissue from the box on the dresser. After blowing her nose and wiping it, Bailey looked into her dad's eyes and said, "I can't believe this happened! I...I really thought Shark was better than that!"
"I know, honey," Michael sympathized, "but I can't tell you enough how proud I am of you for running away and telling me what happened!"
"Dad," Bailey sniffed, "it's not easy for me to admit to you that...I was wrong and...you were right." She lowered her gaze from him.
Michael took her hand again and said, "Bailey, I couldn't care less about being the right one right now. All that matters to me is that you are alright!" He couldn't hold back the tears.
Seeing his tears caused Bailey's to appear again. "It's just that...I thought I knew what I was doing." She paused, thinking. "I NEVER thought the man who told me he LOVES me would give me a drug to r-a-p-e me just because I wouldn't allow him to have sex with me yet!"
"Oh?" Michael asked, feeling proud of her, "so you never did?"
"No, dad."
"Why is that?"
Bailey stared at him in shock that he would ask a question like that, but she knew why he was. "Honestly dad," she replied, "it was because whenever I thought about doing it with him, some voice would pop into my head and say, 'What would your father think about that?' and then it would kill my mood."
Michael chuckled.
"But," she continued, "then I would think of Mom, looking down on me and how disappointed she would be. I really couldn't handle that."
Michael nodded.
"And...despite how much I got annoyed with you dad and led you to believe that I didn't care about a word you said...I DID." She paused. "Yes, I'll admit it! I didn't want to burden myself with pregnancy, especially after what Jenni had to say about her experience."
Michael's eyes widened. He couldn't believe what she just said. "So you DID talk to Jenni?" he asked happily.
Bailey smiled. "Yes, dad I did. Truth be told I was really just wanting to hear about what drama has gone on in her life because I'm nosey." They both chuckled. "But you can imagine how surprised she was that I came to see her!"
"I bet!"
"She's really a sweet person Dad," she paused with tears coming down her cheeks now, "I'm just, so so sorry for...everything!" She jumped up from her bed with her arms extended, giving her dad a tight hug.
Michael hugged her tightly in return. He felt so relieved! "It's really ok Bailey," he said, "I'm sorry if I was too hard on you."
"Don't be sorry dad. You were just trying to raise all of us the best you could and...I was just hating life at the same time. I was angry at everyone because I tried to hide my feelings of missing Mom so much!" She buried her face in his shoulder and cried. "I'm sorry!"
"Shhhh," Michael hushed, rubbing her back, "it's ok." Then he gently lay her back down in the bed.
"Thank you for taking care of me," Bailey said sincerely.
"Of course!" Michael nearly shouted. "You're my daughter and I love you." <3
That night, while everyone slept, for the first time in a LONG time, all was well and peaceful in the Holland household.
