Chapter 9 - Their Beautiful Strong Queen

River

Nicco and Aunt Bella took me to the hospital. Uncle Zain and Dom were heading to the house to talk to Nonna about something important when i texted him this morning.

They were going to speak to her and then if need be come to the hospital. When we got there they checked me in and then i had to sit and wait to be called back.

It seemed to take forever. Nicco had carried me in and then put me in a wheel chair. And this thing was uncomfortable as fuck.

Finally after sitting here for over an hour they finally called me to the back. The doctor came in and looked at my face, hand and ankle and foot and said that i needed x-rays.

After waiting for another hour they finally got me and took me down to x-ray. Then i had to sit down there for a half an hour before they took me in to actually do them.

While i was waiting i sent a message to Pops.

Me- Hey Pops, just wanted to let you know that im not going to make it tonight. This morning has started off as shit. Got up to my bio mother and her spawn attacking Nonna and me hitting her after she smacked Nonna. And now im sitting in the er. My face was swelled up so bad that i cant see out of my left eye. And my ankle is so bad that i cant walk on it. I also busted my left hand when i hit Loretta. I wasn't taking a chance of fucking up my pitching hand by hitting her with my right hand.

Pops- Damn bambolotta, sounds like a bad morning. Id love to get my hands on that piece of shit for putting his hands on MY daughter. I could kick his ass. What are they saying about your face and ankle?

Me- Not much yet im about to go in to get x-rays done ill text you in a few minutes.

They lady had come out to get me for the x-rays. Aunt Bella had walked back with me so i handed her my phone to hold while i was getting them done.

They did like five pictures each of my face, hand and ankle and foot. When she was done she helped me back into the chair and then wheeled me back over to the er to the room i was in.

Once i was in back in my room and in my bed Aunt Bella handed me my phone back. I had another text from Pops and one from Dom.

Pops- Ok bambolotta, text me later and let me know what they say. Ren and ill come to you tonight. We'll pick up food and come hang out there if you don't care.

Me - Sounds good to me Pops. Ill let you know what the dr says and ill text you when were heading home. Love ya.

Pops- Love you to kiddo.

Dom- Hey Amorina, how are you feeling? Sorry i didn't get a chance to talk to you this morning. I wasn't being rude, I was just trying to stay out of the way while your Uncle delt with things. What have you found out about you face and ankle? Anything yet?

Me- Im hurting pretty badly right now. Not yet, they did like five x-rays each on my hand, face, ankle and foot. Now im just waiting to see what they say. This place is being slow. And its ok i understand there was a lot going on this morning. Especially with that banshee screaming like she was when she went out in cuffs.

Dom- Right i thought she was going to make my ears bleed. You could use her scream to torturer someone, it was that bad. Let me know what you find out. Marcello and i are both pretty worried. I almost sent him with you to protect you but i didn't want to overstep.

Me- Id almost feel sorry for the one being tortured with that. It just depends on what they did though lol. I'll let you know as soon as i know something. I have to text Chris also. I was supposed to go to his house tonight but now their coming to mine. And who is Marcello? And incase you haven't seen im pretty good at protecting myself. Im two for two the past two days, lol. I made her slide clear across the floor and i ko'd his ass lol. (Evil laugh).

Dom- Evil laugh, that's funny. And yea i seen the videos for both, your badass for someone so damn tiny. And Marcello is my best friend and bodyguard. I think you've called him men in black and meathead. And its good that Chris and Ren are coming to you, you don't need to be driving right now.

Nonna- Hey sweetie have you heard anything yet?

Me- No not yet Nonna, they did x-rays. Now were just waiting to hear what they found on them.

Nonna- Ok just let me know.

Me- I will as soon as i know something. Chris and Ren are going to come over tonight so i don't have to come to them. Their going to bring food and come hang out with me.

Nonna- Ok baby girl, that's fine love you.

Me- Love you to.

Me to Dom- Sorry Nonna texted me to check on me. And im not so tiny, your just a giant freaking tree, lol. And oh ok the good looking muscular one that's always right with you. He's sexy i wouldn't mind him following me around, lol. And yea i don't need to be but i got to drive tomorrow. I got school, he picked the wrong time for this shit.

As my phone beeped with a message back from Dom Nicco said "This is a bunch of shit. This place is slow as fuck. How long does it take to look at pictures and see if shits broke or not."

"They are pretty busy so it may take awhile Nicco. And i asked for a cd of the pictures that they took so i've got it for court. I may have to have it" Aunt Bella said.

"Im sorry i messed up your day Nicco. You can leave im sure Uncle Zain or Nonna will come get us when im done" i said.

"I'm sorry im being a dick River. I don't mind waiting with you two. Im just pissed off over the morning and that damn banshee. I need to hit the gym and spar. Ill have to call one of the guys to spar with me though. Because my best sparing buddies laid up for who now how long now" he said.

As i got ready to answer him back the doctor came in. "Ok Miss. Russo, from the looks of the x-rays your hand is fine you just busted open your knuckles. They'll heal up in a couple of days. Your ankle has a fracture in it and were going to have to put you in a boot. You'll have to stay off of it for a few weeks. So either use crutches or a knee scooter. As for your face, your nose was broke but we could tell it had been reset. Your cheekbone has a fracture in it though. Not much we can do for it though. Were going to give you a script for some pain medicine. Once we get your boot on you you'll be good to go. I can give you a script for a knee scooter and crutches if you need them. Some insurance companies will pay for both" he said.

"Thank you dr and that would be great. Ill take a script for both, ill need them" I said.

After he left the room i checked my messages so that i could let everyone know what the doctor said. I had gotten a message back from Dom.

Dom- You can climb this tree anytime. From what i hear its quiet fun. And yea he is and he thinks the same about you. As do i, your very sexy. And don't worry about that Ill make sure that you get to school. Even if i have to have one of my guards come drive you there and back.

Me- I would because its a sexy as fuck tree but i cant climb trees right now. I gotta stay off the foot, lol. And you don't have to do that i can drive with my left.

Group chat from Me to Nonna, Uncle Zain, Dom, Chris- I put you all in a group chat so that i could just tell everyone at one time. My hand is fine, my knuckles are just busted but will heal. My ankle has a fracture and im being put into a boot. He's also giving me a script for pain meds and for crutches and a knee scooter. I gotta stay off of it for a few weeks. With my face he said that he could tell that my nose was broke but it was reset back ok. But i have a fracture in my cheekbone. Not much they can do for it though. I should be leaving her soon. Pops pizza and the works sounds wonderful for dinner. Im starving from not being able to eat anything yet today.

After i sent out the message i started getting ones back.

Nonna- Oh my i didn't figure that it was that bad. Don't worry well about anything will figure things out when you get home, i promise. Chris ill run out and get drinks and chips and stuff. We might as well have everyone over tonight. Have a movie night, just not a late one.

Nicco and Aunt Bella got added onto the chat as well.

Nicco- Im bringing the most important thing so im not bringing anything else.

Chris- That works for us. Well get a bunch of different pizzas. I pretty much know what everyone likes so ill try to get a little bit of everything. See you soon babygirl.

Uncle Z- Nicco, what the hell are you talking about?

Nicco- Im bringing the gimp. She the most important person today right. Well other that myself, obviously.

Aunt Bella- Your not important Nicco. Someone lied you and made your head swell up. Now you have a giant head. How the hell do you walk through doors with that big thing.

Me- Ohh my goodness Aunt Bella. That's funny as fuck, and the dirty looks he's giving us is even funny. Im laughing so hard im about to pee. You gotta stop it hurts so bad, omg my face. Roflmao

Aunt Bella- True story on both accounts. (pic) (pic) I sent picture proof.

Uncle Z- Your just evil Bella, I love it.

Dom- You guys are all funny as fuck. If you don't mind id like to stop by later and check on you River. Ill follow your Uncle over if its ok.

Me- That's fine i don't mind ill be home in a little bit, hopefully.

Uncle Z- Were getting ready to go into a meeting so we'll talk to you guys later. Love you mom, Bella and River.

Nonna- Love you to and Dom your more than welcome anytime.

Aunt Bella- Love you to.

Me- Love you to Uncle Z.

Dom- Thank you Rosa.

After everyone left the text chat i got a private message from Dom.

Dom- Hey I wanted to tell you privately if your insurance wont cover the crutches or the knee scooter let me know and ill get them for you. Your going to need them to get around with. Ill be in a meeting with your uncle and some others for a little bit but you can reach Marcello. Ill give you his number. Just let him know and we'll take care of it Amorina.

Me- You don't have to do that but thank you. Ill let you know later. Ill see you at the house in a little bit. Have a good meeting and be careful bello.

After i got done talking to Dom, it wasn't long and a nurse came in to fit me for a boot. It didn't take long for them to find the right one.

Soon we were being giving my discharge papers and scripts and were finally leaving the hospital. We stopped on the way home and got all of my scripts filled.

We were able to get it all because my insurance covered it. Soon we were headed to the house. After stopping at a drive thru and getting me nuggets and fries and a large diet coke. And food for the other two.

I count wait to get home and just relax on the couch with my family. After the day that we have had we all needed it.
