The dawn was coming and the sun was coloring the landscape in hues of gold, pink and blue.  Even though there was a nip in the air, Tabbruis opened the door to the terrace to let some sea breeze waft through the bedroom.
Sandra had just gotten her sixth cup of coffee from Shane.
Tabbruis went on the terrace looking at the landscape.  How many times had Tabbruis been out on the terrace not watching the sea, but just kept his eyes on Charmeine?
Tabbruis thought maybe his lack of faith is the reason he ended up in Hell in the Lake of Fire and Torment.  However, he remembered what Charmeine had said to him last night before the battle.  He rubbed his neck because it was like she was speaking to him now.  Softly he could hear her whisper in his ear and almost feel her breath on his neck saying,
I need you…I need my King…I need you to feel that self-determination now.  You must let God be your shield and rock. You must.  Everything flows from His love.  Drink it down and let His love envelop you and squelch any doubts you may have.
Tabbruis said out loud, “As God as my rock, I believe!  I will be worthy!  I will not let Lucifer’s tricks put doubt in my heart!”  He heard a knock at the door and came over to answer it.  We he opened it, it was Laura and Thomas.  Laura had a doctor bag and went over to Charmeine taking instruments out of it.  Tabbruis said, “Oh thank God!  What took so long?”
Thomas said, “We had to go to Bucharest to retrieve medical supplies and diagnostic instruments for Laura.  It was not easy getting everything she needed in the middle of the night, but I was able to ‘convince’ some night attendants to giving us everything she needed at the hospital.”

Laura said, “Convince?  You hypnotized them into doing it, that’s what you did.”
Thomas said, “Sweetheart, I will make an anonymous donation to the hospital to recover their losses.”
Laura asked Sandra to take her blood pressure.  She lifted Charmeine’s eyelid and scanned her pupils.  After she talked to Sandra, she turned and said to Tabbruis and Thomas, “Thank God, our Queen’s vitals are good, better than they were last night.”  Laura got out another instrument of her bag to check her.
Sandra smiled and said, “Mom’s a fighter!” 
A knock at the door sounded.  Tabbruis opened the door and it was Shane.
Shane whispered, “She’s still out of it?  Huh?”
Tabbruis replied, “Yes, but Laura said her vital signs are better than they were last night.”
Sandra said, “That’s good news Dad,” as she kissed Shane on the cheek and went back over to the bed to help Laura.
Tabbruis nodded and said, “Yes, it is good news,” and hugged her.  He said, “Thank you Daughter for always taking up for Mom even when I could not.  Your Mother tried to tell us that the battle in Athens was wrong and you took her side.”
Sandra said, “Oh about finding about the meteor shower and knowing to get Mom at Smith Point… piece of cake, Dad.  Mom knew in her heart everything would be okay if we believed.”
Tabbruis smiled at her and said, “Sandra, your Mother and I think you are a wonder!  We all do!” 
Sandra blushed and said, “It’s simple Dad, you’re my posse which means everything to me.”  Then Sandra kissed Shane again and went over to the bed taking more vitals.
Dmitri and Hera and their children, plus Neal and Hameal, came down the hallway to check on her.
Tabbruis shook his head when he saw them and said, “Charmeine has not come out of it yet.”
Shane said, “Isn’t there anything we can do?  I sure hope she isn’t asleep for a long time Dad.  Last time, it was torture for you and us all.”
Laura was pacing the floor back and forth by the bed.  She screamed in total frustration, “God!  What I wouldn’t give for a CAT scan or MRI or an old-fashioned X-ray machine or even a proper lab for pathology tests!  Damn it!”
Laura’s hands began to spark purple and she knotted them in fists.  She said in anguish, “Damn it!  Sandra, if she doesn’t come out of it soon, I will have to start a Saline IV drip!”  Her hands began to die down and she paced more.
Thomas came and put his hand on Laura’s shoulder and said, “Dearest you are doing everything you can, you must have faith and believe God will show you the way.”
Tabbruis smiled at the comment and looked over his shoulder at Thomas soothing Laura because it sounded and looked exactly like something Charmeine would say and do.  He said to himself, ‘See Charmeine, there are other people like you.  Those of us who are impatient need you so much.’ 
Charmeine looked so pale and weak.  It looked like she was just skin and bones.
Dmitri said to Laura and Thomas, “I will see to it that the castle has a proper infirmary set up immediately.  I will make the necessary acquisitions for a suitable clinic for our Doctor Laura, and Nurse Sandra… who apparently can do anything!”  Dmitri winked at Sandra like a kind grandfather.
Shane said, “Sandra is definitely a woman of substance.  She’s like a lion in a lamb’s body!” and he bent down to kiss her.
Laura looked up at Dmitri with bright hazel eyes of joy.  She asked, “Can you really get me a hospital here?  Everything we need for diagnostics too?”
Dmitri answered, “Absolutely!  Quickly also!” 
Laura asked Thomas with a wide smile, “Thomas you helped me put that small hospital together in Liberia, remember?”
Thomas smiled and replied, “How could I forget, my love?  I moved Heaven and Earth to get it done swiftly because of the outbreak of measles and the threat of the disease spreading.”
Laura asked, “Would you please help Dmitri with the equipment set up?  Thomas, could you get it done without delay?”
Thomas smiled and nodded touching her cheek with the back of his fingers replied, “Yes my dear, I will work with Dmitri, and we will have it as soon as possible.”  Laura smiled blissfully and closed her eyes in relief.  Thomas hugged her tightly.
Neal said, “Hameal and I will help also.”
Shane said, “I’m helping too.”
Laura said, “We have to let her rest.  Without more diagnostic equipment, I will assume her body has been through a shock and there isn’t anything to do but wait unfortunately.”  Laura turned to Sandra and said, “If she doesn’t come out of it soon, we will start an IV.  Do you know how to start one?”

Sandra was just about to answer yes and Shane said, “Oh yes!  She’s infamous in our squad with a perfect stick every time!” 
Sandra smiled and a little embarrassed, she looked at him and said, “I keep Shane around because he’s head of my fan club… my entourage.”
“You are a wonder and yes, I am the head of your fan club,” Shane said.  He bent down and kissed her on the neck which noticeably made her melt.
Tabbruis turned to everyone quietly and said, “I will call you all when Charmeine awakes, and I promise all of you, everything will be alright.”
Laura said, “I’m not leaving her side.” Laura was taking her pulse and then checked her reflexes with a small hammer.
Sandra said, “I’m staying with her.”
Tabbruis said, “Yes, I would prefer it if you two did.”  He looked at everyone else and said, “Now, I think Charmeine needs her rest.”
They all started to leave.

Sometimes it takes extreme courage to wait!
It should be easy but more often than not, it is hard to do.
I wish for you today courage!
