When I woke up I found myself laying in a hospital hooked up to a bag of blood, via IV. On my other hoof, there was an IV connected to a normal saline drip. But most noticeable was the bloody cast.

"Good to see you're awake. I'm doctor Katrina Scan, but you can call me Kat Scan. How are you feeling?" I foreign voice startled me.

"My head hurts a little, and my hoof is pretty sore. What happened? I can't remember.

"We're not exactly sure Miss Coca, but from what we know, you cut your hoof open with a knife. Do you have any memory of that?" Memories of the previous night came flooding back.

"Yes. I... I do. Where's my husband and daughter? Are they okay?"

"Yes, they're fine. They're in the waiting area. I'll bring them in in a minute. Can you feel this?" She said, prodding at the base of my hoof.

"Just barely. What did you do?" She continued poking my forehoof, and each time I felt it.

"Okay, I think you should make a full recovery. We had to surgically repair many nerve endings and blood vessels. Then we had to place a splint on your bone. You managed to fracture it. And then we just stitched you up and placed that cast on. It will have to be changed daily, so you will be here for a while. Okay, I'm going to get your family now." She came back in a second later with them as promised.

"Mommy! Are you okay?! I love you!" Sweet little Cozy Glow was the first to run up to me. She gave me a big hug. She used to love hugs... Sorry, sorry. Rambling again. Her sweet smile was infectious, to say the least.

"Okay Cozy, can you step out for a minute? Mommy and I need to have a little talk." Blue asked her. Back then she listened.

"Okay, Daddy." She said sadly. As soon as she was out of earshot Blue started doing what he does best; yelling.

"What the fuck where you thinking?! Do you have any idea what you put our daughter though?! What you put me through?!"

"Listen Blue, I'm sorry. It was stupid. But my head hurts right now, Can't we please just talk calmly for once?"

"STUPID?! It was more than just stupid! It was wrong! It was selfish! And there is ALWAYS some reason you don't wanna be yelled at! This is important! Not just some stupid mistake! WHY DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?!"

"Blue, please. I do understand just- I'm sorry okay?! What else do you want me to fucking say?!"

"Oh, so now it's my fault for your mistakes?! What if Cozy had been home?! What if we had come home early and she saw you cutting yourself and covered in blood? What then, huh? FUCKING ANSWER ME! You're not fit to raise this child!" I don't remember much more from that day. I was really drugged up on pain killers. All I remember is he would NOt stop yelling! And then, after about a week of being in the hospital, I was informed that I no longer had custody of Cozy Glow. Blue told me to find my own place. I could have visited Cozy Glow. And I should have. Maybe that's where I went wrong but Celestia damit, I couldn't look Blue in the face without punching him no remorse after what he did to me!

I just... It hurt, you know? Oh what do you know, how would you know what it's like to have your child taken away from you?! Sorry I just- it's just hard. Now I'm just straight-up assuming maybe you do know but- Sorry. I'll just shut up now.
