Summary: Mark and Elizabeth meet their new house mate and are forced to incorporate her into their lives.
A cab pulled up to the house of Dr.'s Greene and Corday and out stepped a sixteen year old girl. The driver put her two suitcases on the porch, and after being paid drove off.
Well, here goes nothing," she said and rang the doorbell. She turned away from the door and looked around at the neightborhood she was in. 'This isn't like Elizabeth to be this far away form the hustle of the city,' she thought.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a man's voice from inside, "Coming... I got it Elizabeth." Dr. Greene opened the door and was surprised by what he saw on the porch.
"Hi. I'm Mykalla. Is Elizabeth Corday there?" she asked.
"Just one second.. Elizabeth it's for you.. why don't you come in, she'll be right down. I'll go get her," he replied. As he went up the stairs, Mykalla looked around the front hallway, 'Man is she lucky, a good looking fiancee, and an amazing house.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Who was it?" asked Dr. Corday as Mark entered the room. She noticed the confused expression of his face, "What? You don't like what I've done in here?" Elizabeth put down the box she was holding and moved across the room towards Mark. "What's wrong? Who was at door?"
"I don't know. Some kid with a weird name. She's waiting downstairs. The odd thing is she has two suitcases with her. She wants to talk to you."
"Weird name?" said Elizabeth as confused as Mark. Suddenly an almost happy look of shock crossed her face. "Oh my God. What in the world is she doing here?"
"Who?" asked Mark more conufsed and a little more worried than before.
"No one to be worried about," she said noticing the look on his face, and ran downstairs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mykalla's back was turned as Elizabeth came down the stairs. She stopped at the bottom step and looked at the young girl standing before her. 'She has changed so much since I saw her last,' Elizabeth thought, 'She must be almost out of high school by now. But why is she here?'
Mykalla was slowly turning around trying to take in everything she saw. She was finally facing the stairs and saw Elizabeth standing there looking at her. She ran to her and threw her arms around her neck in a hug, almost knocking her up the stairs. "I've missed you so much," she told Elizabeth.
"I've missed you too. But what are you doing here?" she asked. Mykalla backed up.
"Mom didn't call you did she? Man, I knew it was to good to be true. She told me that since you have your own house not, that I could finally come and live with you," she explained to Elizabeth.
"Really?" Elizabeth said in surprise, "I always thought that she didn't trust me."
"Technically, she didn't say that I could. The reason she gave me for not moving out here when you first asked was because your place wasn't big enough. So, when you called and told me about this, I told her that I was moving. She didn't put up a big fight. She even said that if this was what I really wanted to do, that she would call you and even drive me to the airport. You do still want me here, don't you?"
"I am really glad that you're here, honestly. I was jsut surprised she let you come... Let me grab one of these and we'll go upstairs and fix you a room. I'll introduce you to Mark, the right way."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mark looked out into the hall just in time to see Elizabeth helping the teenager carry her things into the spare bedroom. "This is odd. Elizabeth would have told me if we were having company. I better go see what's up," he said to himself.
He went and stood in the door. He watched the two laugh as they unpacked. After about a minute he knocked, "I hope I'm not interrupting anything important."
"Oh no, not at all," said Elizabeth realizing that he was there. "Mykalla, this is my fiancee Mark. I guess you met downstairs. Mark this is my kid sister Mykalla."
Mark paused for a moment. "Wait, run that by me again. Your sister? I never knew you had a sister."
"Her mom doesn't like me very much. When I first moved to the states I stopped by and asked if she could move in with me, but Jill wouldn't stand for it. When I told Mike about the house she took it upon herself to tell her mom that she was coming. I honestly didn't know."
"It's nice to meet you Mykalla. Seeing as how Elizabeth has left out some details, maybe you can fill me in."
Mykalla thought for a moment, "Well, I'm 16. From Jersey. Her mom my dad. I was raised by my parents. Not much to tell really. I only met Lizbet five years ago when she moved here. I had talked to her a few times before that, but I didn't know who she was."
Mark's look of shock started to fade. "New Jersey, huh. That's why there's all those calls to New Brunswick on the phone bills. I'm sorry I didn't greet you more friendlier, but it's nice to have you here."
A pager went off and the two doctors reached to their waists. "Oh damn, it's me," said Elizabeth, "I'm sorry Mike I have to go in. There's a trama and they need my help. I trust I can leave you two alone. Don't share any horror stories about me until I can defend myself. I'll be back as soon as I can."
"Bye," said the other two simultaneously. "I'll walk you out," said Mark, following her down the stairs. Elizabeth noticed a slight hurt expression on Mark's face. "I'm sorry," she said, "It's just not one of those things that coems up in a conversation. If I knew she was coming I would have said something."
"It's no big deal," he said, "Just go to work, do your thing, and I'll punish you later."
"With my sister here, are you mad!" A smile crossed his face ad he leant in and kissed her. She didn't moved from the kiss for awhile. She pulled away relentlessly. "I have to go. I will see you later." "Bye Mykalla," she yelled up the stairs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So," said Mark as he and Mykalla sat at the island in the kitchen drinking hot chocolate, "What had Elizabeth told you that I should be worried about?"
"The night you proposed, she called me, and she was so hyper. I knew why she was calling as soon as I said hello. She told me how you bought her a house for the two of you, and kinda hinted that her offer was still open. I was so happy for her, but I knew I had to find a way to get out here. She called the me day after Thanksgiving. It was one of those life can't get any better conversations. She was so happy, but wouldn't tell me why..."
"Thanksgiving? I know why," Mark interrupted, "But... she'll talk to you about that later."
"I didn't hear from her for awhile and then a couple of week before Christmas she called me crying. She told me everything you told her, and I felt so bad because there was nothing I could do or say to make her feel better. When you guys were in New York she wanted to come down to visit but I wouldn't let her, and I told her that I wasn't going into the City to see her. She needed to be with you. My mom was quite pissed about that one a.m. phone call on New Years, but oh well. The next day I told my mom I ws moving. It's just taken a little time for me to finalize all the plans."
"So that's why she was spaced out before the surgery. I thought she was just scared."
"No, trust me it was fear. I'll tell you this because she's not here, but she has changed so much since she started going out with you. She's become so much happier, more than I have ever seen her. You two are so perfect for each other and she was so scared that she was gonna loose you. But you pulled through, both of you."
"I'm just glad the whole surgery and lawsuit are over," he said with a sigh of relief. "Let me take that. So what do you want to do till Elizabeth gets home?" he asked, taking the empty cups to the sink.
"I dunno really. I kinda just wanna sleep. Stupid jetlag."
"Get some sleep then. I'll wake you when Elizabeth gets home."
