Falls Down The Stairs (age 8 months)

Rainbow had only been walking for a couple of months but she had become quite confident. So confident that her parents had, had to put a safety gate at both the bottom and top of the stairs. They we're all upstairs, bow and Windy were in the bedroom folding up clothes and rainbow was playing on the landing with her toy train (the safety gate is closed.)


Bow hothoof: I'm just going to go downstairs and grab us some drinks.


Windy whistles: ok, I'll have a coke and get dashie a bottle of juice.


Bow hothoof: will do.


He left to go downstairs however he forgot to close the gate behind him, rainbow was still playing with her train and windy was in the bedroom still doing the folding because she thought the gate was closed.


Rainbow sore that the gate was open and curiosity got the better of her. She decided she wanted to try and walk down the stairs she'd been doing it for a while, whilst she held an adults hand but she wanted to do it on her own. She took the first couple of steps ok, but then she lost her footing and fell down the rest of way. There was a loud crash and scream when she fell and both of her parents rushed to see what had happened.


Rainbow: *lays on the floor crying*


Bow hothoof: *panicking* what's happened?!


Windy whistles: *comes running down the stairs* I think she's fallen down the stairs, I don't know how though.


Bow hothoof: *feeling guilty* I think i forgot to close the top gate.


Windy whistles: *sighs* let's not worry about that now. I think we should take dashie to the hospital.


She went to pick rainbow up but the infant started sobbing again when windy touched her leg.


Bow hothoof: *sees rainbows leg bent at an awkward angle* uhh honey I think her leg might be broken.


Windy whistles: *sucks through her teeth* yeah it looks that way, come on let's go.*picks rainbow up again* shhhh dashie I know it hurts but we'll get it fixed.


*at the hospital*


Receptionist: hello what can we do for you today?


Windy whistles: our daughter fell down the stairs and we think she has a broken leg.


Receptionist: ok just take a seat and fill out this form, the doctor will se you shortly.


The sat and filled out the forms and rainbow was called in to see doctor Johnson, who they were very familiar with. He did x rays and confirmed that rainbow did have a broken leg and would have to wear a cast and a leg brace for 6 weeks in order to keep it straight.


Doctor Johnson: which colour cast would you like rainbow? *he showed her some coloured papers*


Rainbow: *points at the purple one* (my favourite colour)


Doctor Johnson: good choice! We'll get that and the brace put on and then you're free to go home.


Bow hothoof: thank you doctor.


Rainbow was starting to become tired and restless, she was also in a little pain but giving the circumstances she'd been doing really well.


Windy whistles: *rocks rainbow gently* you can have a sleep once we're home baby.


*at home*


Rainbow now had her bright purple cast and her leg brace on, and had fallen asleep in the car so windy just laid her on the sofa with a blanket.


Windy whistles: few what an eventful day.


Bow hothoof: yeah sure was. And I'm so sorry.


Windy whistles: *holding his hand* it's ok I know it was an accident.


After that day they made sure that both gates were always closed.


A/N: sad news 🥺😢 this is going to be the last update for a little while. I've now completed the list of ideas and I want to add more to the second list before I continue writing. All ideas are still welcome and I'll taking rainbow into teenage years to give more room for stories. Thank you all for the help writing this and I'll hopefully update soon!
