The incredible journey
AN: So this is a first for me and I'm really nervous but I really wanted to write a story that means something to me and hopefully you will all enjoy it. I will warn you now it can get graphic in some parts but if you don't want it too graphic then I can rewrite some parts or I can give you warning when they'll be appearing. So please let me know whether or not this is a story you would be interested in reading.
Chapter one: The journey begins
Jane and Maura were sat on the couch beer in Jane's hand and a glass of wine in Maura's. This week had been a long one and both women were glad to be able to finally sit down and relax.
"I'm glad the weeks over because I'm practically falling asleep." Jane said as she sunk further into the couch.
"Don't go to sleep just yet, I want to discuss something with you." Maura said as she put her wine glass on the table.
Jane already had a good idea what her wife wanted to discuss she wasn't one of Boston's finest for no reason and the fact the Maura had left a booklet on her bedside table from an adoption agency was another clue.
"I read the booklet you gave me and I think it's a great idea." Jane said and turned towards Maura.
"Really? You want to adopt a child and become parents?" Maura asked happily.
"Yeah Maura nothing would make me happier that being mommies with you, we've been married for three years and being going out for nearly five. I think we're ready for this." Jane replied and she put her hand our Maura's and laced their fingers together.
"Oh Jane are we really going to do this? Were really going to become parents?" Maura asked as her eyes started to water.
"Nothing would make me happier." Jane replied as she pulled Maura towards her and into sweet passionate kiss.
BOSTON GENERAL
"10-year-old male, lacerations to the back and major wound to the chest, ribs and upper back just below the shoulder blade. Were gunna need to take him to surgery page Dr Cade and make sure OR 2 is prepped." The trauma surgeon shouted as she helped push the gurney with the screaming boy on it.
"What the hell happened to this kid?" She asked.
"Father was drugged up and took a meat cleaver to him." An EMT replied.
The trauma surgeon had a look of shock and disgust on her face, when they go into the elevator the surgeon stroked the boys head.
"It's going to be okay I promise." She said.
"M…I….L…O." The boy chocked out.
"Milo is that your name honey?" The surgeon asked.
"The boy shook his head yes before her closed his eyes.
Milo woke up in a well-lit room and started to panic this wasn't his house his panic soon turned into pain as he felt his side burning. He looked down and pulled the grown off him and saw his side was back together again with no blood pouring out. He was startled when he heard someone enter his room he didn't want to turn around because he knew it would be his parents. They would be so angry that he had caused so much trouble he was going to pay for it.
"Milo." A soft voice said.
That was a voice he didn't recognise so he turned around slowly when he saw the women he recognised her, she was the lady who told him it would be alright.
"Hi Milo my name's Clair." Clair spoke gently she had read his file and seen his trauma first hand and knew she had to be soft and delicate. But what she had to do next was going to be even more traumatic for the young boy.
"Why….am I here?" Milo said slowly still trying to get used to his surroundings.
"You don't remember?" Clair asked and Milo shook his head no. "You were hurt really badly and we fixed you up."
"My dad is he waiting for mm…me?" Milo whispered.
"No sweetheart your parents have been taken away, they won't ever be able to hurt you again." Clair said.
Milo looked at her sceptically trying to decide if she was telling the truth.
"I promise." Clair said as she made the final move to stand directly next to the bed.
Milo nodded his head and wrapped his arms around himself.
"Milo can you tell me your full name so I can write it on your chart?" Clair asked as she grabbed his chart and a pen.
"Milo-Sven Stanovich." Milo replied quietly.
"That's great. My friend who is also a doctor is going to come see you in a minuet." Clair said as she put the chart back in its place.
"Why?" Milo asked as his eyes grew wide with fear.
"She Just wants to come and examine you and check over you." Clair said.
"You fixed my side I don't need anyone else to come see me." Milo rushed out in a panic.
"I know but you have injuries that I can't help with, the injuries to your privet parts." Clair said and winced internally as Milo started to cry at the mention of his other injuries.
Eventually Clair managed to calm Milo down and held his hand through the procedure but noticed the as soon as the exam started he just went limp. He turned his head towards her but not looking at her as he cried silently making no noise whatsoever. When the exam was finished Milo quickly got back under the bed covers and stayed silent as the doctor also took blood. With all the trauma that has happened in the past 24 hours Milo was exhausted and finally fell asleep.
"Are you sure?" Clair asked.
"Yes I double checked." Dr Cade replied.
"It looks like he's suffered all his life so far and now he's going to be reminded about it for the rest of his life." Clair sighed out.
"It's terrible but with the right treatment he will live a healthy life, HIV isn't a death sentence anymore." Dr Cade said.
"I know but he's 10 years old, how do you explain it to him." Clair asked.
"I don't know but the social workers are here now so let's go talk to them." Dr Cade said as he rubbed his tiered eyes this was not one of the reasons he became a doctor.
Beacon Hills
"I spoke to the adoption agency they said we'll be waiting about three months before we meet any kids, we have to go through all the background checks first not to mention all the paperwork we will have to fill out." Maura said as she rinsed out her glass and set it on the side.
"Maura that's the third time you've mentioned that today, I know you're excited that they accepted our application so am I but it's time for bed because I don't want to deal with a grumpy medical examiner in the morning." Jane said as she pulled Maura towards their bedroom.
"Well I suppose you have a point but since you so nicely put it that you don't want a grumpy ME I better go straight to sleep which means no fun bedroom activities for you." Maura said as she sashayed passed Jane into the bathroom and closed the door behind her.
"Aw baby you know I don't mean it like that." Jane whined but smiled when she heard Maura laughing.
AN: So let me know what you think, I don't have some knowledge but not that much knowledge of adoptions or medical information so sorry if there's any wrong information.
