Breaking Her Chains (Completed)

Chapter Four

Bryten checked in on Tinsley and was relieved to see her sleeping. She had been terrified of telling him what actually happened, but he was very proud of her. He never did have to sedate her and he was very thankful for that. The longer he could go without medicating her, the better her chances of being released were. He quietly crept out of her room and closed her door. He headed down the hall and opened the door to his mothers reception office.

“Momma, you wanted to see me?” he asked.

“I did. I wanted to remind you that I had an extra room in my apartment.” she said.

When the Jackson's had purchased the wing of the little hospital, they had actually bough the top three floors. One had been converted into the Behavior Therapy Ward and the other two had been converted into apartments. There were two an each floor and they had turned out beautifully. Each one had three bedrooms, a sun room, a kitchen with seperate dinning area, an office and large living room. Kasey and Eva's apartments had three and a half baths, while Bryten and Jacob's had two and a half baths. His mother, who was convinced she didn't need an actual apartment had decided to take the loft above Eva's apartment. It was a small two bedroom, one bathroom place, but Rose loved it.

“What made you think of that momma?” Bryten asked as he took a seat in a nearby chair.

“I just felt lead to remind you.” she said.

Bryten smiled. His mother knew nothing about Tinsley's case, so the fact that she felt led to remind Bryten about her extra room was just more assurance that God has big plans for Tinsley.

“I think I know why you feel lead. It seems that we havea patient who does not actualy need our services. I cannot tell you what's going on, just that I have made an appointment with Lisa from the Women's counseling center. If she is mentally cleared, she will need a place to stay and she will need plenty of love.”

“I have plently of love.” his mother confirmed, making him laugh.

“Good, then I think you and she will make great roomates.”

“Is she the patient everyone says you care for?” she asked.

“I care for all of my patients.” Bryten scolded.

“I heard you REALLY care for her.” his mother said.

Bryten through his head back and chuckled. “I am drawn to her if you must know.”

“I heard you asked her on a date.” his mother sang.

“I actually calmed her and invited her on a patient date, a date which Kasey or Eva will also be involved in, but I think everyone else thinks I asked her out too.”

His mother smiled. “Are you going to marry her?” she sang.

“Momma, I think you should be admitted into my care.” Brtyen laughed.

“I am going to be a grandma.” she sang as she continued filling papers.
