Chapter 18

It is now Sunday Morning. Jessi is in her room getting ready to leave the hospital. She has her clothes on and Sonny and Brenda are gathering her things up. Bobbie comes in with a wheel chair.
Bo: "Ready to go home, Jessi?"
J: "Yeah. Do I get to ride in that?" Points to the wheel chair.
Bo: "You bet. It's hospital policy."
J: She hops in the chair. "I'm ready to go." She turns to Sonny and Brenda. "You guys ready?"
B: "We sure are, honey."
Bo: "Then lets go." Bobbie wheels Jessi out of the room and Sonny and Brenda follow.
At the front of the hospital, Bobbie says goodbye and leaves the newly formed family alone.
B: "Come on Jessi, I brought the cool car you love to ride in today to bring you home in." She turns to Sonny. "You coming with us or do you want to follow?"
S: "I'll follow." Turns to Jessi. "So what's this cool car that you like so much?"
J: "Mom has this old red Porsche that's really fun to ride in. Especially if she puts the top down."
S: "You still have that old car, Bren? I bet it's a classic now."
B: "Yeah it is. I don't drive it often, it's not as reliable as it used to be, but Jessi loves it when we take it out driving once in awhile."
S: "I bet she does." He picks her up and twirls her around. She laughs and enjoys it.
B: "Sonny be careful please. She just got out of the hospital."
J: "I'm fine mom."
B: "I know, but..."
S: "She's right Jessi I should have been more careful."
Jessi was a small girl for nine years old. She was about as light as feather. Sonny still held onto her. He carried her to the "cool car," said goodbye, got into his car and followed Brenda to her house.

At a two story fairly moderate sized house on Port Charles Street, only a few houses down from the Spencer house, a group of friends and family was gathering. They were waiting to welcome home their friends. One had returned home, one had gotten out of the hospital, and one's impossible dream had come true. All three of them had found the family that they had thought would never exist. They were happy and content. At least for now.
