Chapter 12 . Leon's pov As I walked into the room I saw this tiny girl packing her stuff. C 10 She have the back turned so I don't see her face. But her hair color is the same strawberry blond as Theo. I see Dr Alonso walk over to my sister, put a hand on her shoulder then he say a few words to her and I see she nod. Looks like she take a deep breathe then she slowly turn around. And I'm just standing there frozen my jaw dropped to the floor. I see she have the same family eyes like all the kids on dad side have. Her long strawberry blond hair is braided to one side, she have the same almond shape eyes I remember she had when she were younger, her cute button nose is still there and same with her rosy plump lips. She is very small and thin for her age, almost look like she is been starved. slowly took a few step closer to her, I don't want to spook her. She looked at me very intensely putting her head to the side like she is deep in thought. Then she suddenly run up to me and quickly put her arms around my waist, I tense for a few second before I lift her up and hug her tightly. She put her arms around my neck and legs around my waist and I just hold her close to me. "Oh my sweet bambina, you have grown up to be such a beautiful young lady." I whispered into her neck. I felt a few tears drop on my neck and I just rub her back with one hand while supporting one under her butt. "Talia, you have to remember to be a bit careful, you have not fully recovered yet." Dr Alonso said carefully but he also had a bright smile on his face. Talia lifted her head and looked over at him then nodded. She loosen her grip on me and I put her down gently. "What injuries do you have bambina? " I looked down at her cupping her face drying her tears with my thumbs. She look back at Dr Alonso and give a nod so I look back at the doctor waiting for him to explain. He took a deep breathe then he looked up at me. "Okay so Talia came here 5 days ago, some nice bystanders come across her when she had run away from her home, when they walked up to her she collapse from exhaustion." He started looking a little sad at Talia. "She have three broken ribs, two hairline fracture, one in her left arm and one in her right femur. She is badly bruised, some have been able to heal but now she have also covered most of them up with makeup. She have a concussion. She have been abused, stabbed, cut and even shot over many years. She have also been badly starved. While she have been here we have been able to get her to eat at least a little with every meal but it's important that you don't force her!" He explained and took a deep breathe. *If you do force her to eat that can actually result in her throwing it up, not on purpose but her stomach can't handle lot of food yet, she have to eat a little with each meal! Do to malnurishment she have also lost her period, but with correct diet that will fix itself. And one more thing, she is currently mute, it's not a medical condition but she will have to become very comfortable again to be able to start talking! Don't force it or it will end up she never talking again!" Dr Alonso explained calmly. Ijust stood there frozen again, looking at my little bambina with tears in my eyes. She look up at me and I see tears forms in her eyes as well, she put a hand carefully on my cheek and one tear escape down my cheek and she wipe it away. Then she walk over to the bed and pick up a notebook and a pen . Then she write something. 'Don't worry Leon, I'm fine, and now I'm finally home with you where I belong, I have missed you! < 3 ' 1/2 P Chapter 12. She turned it around and I read it, I looked at her shocked. "You remember me?" I asked shocked I know neither me or Dr Alonso have said my name you he smile and nod happily . "Do you remember you other brothers? " I asked hopefully. She were thinking for a while the she started to write. 'I do remember a lot of name suddenly, like something just clicked in my brain' She turned the notebook around, I read it then I asked "Can you name some of the names you remember? " She turned the notebook and then started to write. Theo, Nikolas, Aaron, David, Dante, Nathan, Michel, Kieran, Joshua, Kyle, Lucian, Kevin, Cole, Zachary, Brandon, Zane, Adam, Bryan, uncle Emmanuel, aunty Alise, uncle Mason and aunty Lyla, uncle Andrew, aunty Alice, grandpa (papa) grandma (nona) and dad is named Arthur. I don't remember who of my cousins belongs to which aunt and uncle but...How did I do ?' She turned the notebook again and now Dr Alonso have come to stand beside me. Me and Dr Alonso read it and we both started to laugh. You did amazing bambina!" I said walking up to her and hug her and she hugged me back. "I have the discharge papers ready, but Talia, your two nurses want to say goodbye to you before you go, are you up for that?" Dr Alonso asked looking at my sister with a smile and she nodded. "Okay two second, I will get the papers and your nurses and I will be right back!" He said then walked out. "You truly have grown up bambina! I can't get over how beautiful you have gotten!" I said looking at her with so much emotions. She smiled up to me then hugged me again. Suddenly the door burst open and two ladies in nurse uniform come in. " Talia don't leave us! " one of them cried and Talia run up to them and hug them both tightly. "I will miss you so much! Who am I now gonna gossip about the dumb doctors around here? You are lucky you got the best doctors we have and he have been by you almost the entire time!" the other said. Talia wrote something on her notebook and showed it to the nurses. Then they both started die laughing and I saw Talia covered her mouth and bite her lower lip. "Aww you are too cute for your own good!" the first nurse said. " Here let us write our numbers in your notebook and when you get a phone you can give us a text, and when you finally speak again you can give us a call." the second nurse said. Then they both wrote their numbers in her notebook.
