"Momma?"

Seely's mind was still a fog and the familiar voice sounded so far away. Slowly, she forced her eyes open a bit and drank in the golden sunlight streaming through fluttering white sheers. The air held a hint of freshly brewed tea, soft music played and the voice was growing louder.

"Momma?"

When she at last fully lifted her heavy eyelids, Michelle's glowing face greeted her with a loving smile. "Oh there you are. Are you okay? Where are the girls?"

"We're fine, Momma. We're all just fine."

Tears rimmed the bottom of her mother's eyes so Michelle leaned over and kissed her cheek. She sat back down in a chair next to the bed and took Seely's hand. "How are you feeling?"

"Truthfully?"

"Truthfully."

"I hurt everywhere. Did Jenna and Tim make it? Where am I?"

"Tim and Jenna are home with their families and you've in a hotel in Vancouver, BC. The doctor said you needed rest more than anything else and the hospitals are full. Besides, we wanted you here with us."

"How long have I been here?"

Michelle glanced at her watch, "About a day and a half. Momma, do you remember how you got here?"

Seely though for a moment, "I remember a woman with a hypo. She frightened me. Baby, help me sit up will you? And I sure could use something to drink."
