Three Weeks Later...
Somethin' in your eyes, makes
me wanna lose myself
Makes me wanna lose myself, in your
arms
There's somethin' in your voice, makes my heart beat
fast
Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life
"Cameron, have you seen my black Gucci?"
He sat on their bed a bowl of fruit loops in between his legs and his X Box controller in his hands as he maneuvered through another level.
"What's a Gucci?"
Kristina came in her hands poised on her hips, "my purse...it's my first day, I want to look nice"
His eyes left the screen and turned to her in her black pencil skirt, and white button up, her hair pulled back in a neat ponytail her bangs swept sexily to the side "you look hot"
Laughing she sat down next to him, "hot is not exactly the look I was going for but...hey, it will work. What time do you go into Kelly's today"
"Three...which means dinner shift" he groaned.
"I'm sorry...you will be home late then... I won't cook then" she teased.
"Thank God"
She hit him in the arm, "oh, I have to go now...see you later tonight"
"Yeah" he said cocking his head up to peck her on the lips.
Three hours later she sat at the reception desk at General Hospital. Epiphany had given her a mound of charts to file and she was directing the flurry of patients to the proper floor. It was stressful but Kristina thrived on stress. She was finally getting the hang of it when a blue eyed doctor strolled in.
"Hi, I don't think we've met...I'm Doctor Devlin"
Smiling the trademark dimples she extended her hand, "Kristina Davis...er"
"Has anyone ever told you that you have the eyes of a Botticelli?"
Arching her eyebrow she blushed and heard a, "uh-uh"
They both turned and saw Elizabeth Webber with an expression of disdain, "oh no Dr. Flirty...she is OFF limits. One, she is eighteen. Two, she is married to my son and having my grandchild...so go march your behind back up to the OR and do what you are good at"
"Wow, bravo" Kristina said after the doctor left.
Liz smiled, "so how is the first day"
"Stressful but fun...besides the fact that I feel like puking my guts out"
"When I was pregnant with Cameron; I had horrible all day sickness...I mean if it was just the morning I think I could have handled it" she said laughing.
"Thanks for everything Liz...the job, the advice"
Winking at her, "anytime, you're family"
Cameron grabbed his keys and headed out of the Harborview Towers. He wasn't scheduled to work for a couple of hours but he wanted to drop by the hospital and see if he could take Kristina to lunch.
In the hallway he practically bumped into Robin.
"Hey Dr. Robin"
She smiled, "hey Cameron...how's married life?"
"Weird"
Chuckling at his honesty she nodded, "well yeah"
"Are you coming off shift?" he asked noting her scrubs.
Shaking her head, "actually I am going on but I think I left my pocketbook here"
"Oh well, I hope you find it. I have to run; I want to surprise Kristina with lunch" he said smiling.
Robin watched him go; reminded of the joy that was young love.
Knocking on the door she heard someone yell something and she waited. After a few long moments the door opened and Jason stood there in just jeans his hair still wet from a shower.
Trying not to openly gawk at his tanned muscular body she stammered, "uh, I think I left my pocketbook here"
If you knew how lonely my life
has been
And how long I've been so alone
And if you knew how I
wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've
done
"Jake put it on the desk; I was going to bring it over to the hospital later"
He turned around to grab it and she let her eyes roam over his broad shoulders; she was almost embarrassed at the way she was looking at him like a piece of meat.
"Here" he said jarring her out of her stupor.
"Thanks" she said before turning around and practically jumping into the elevator.
Smiling confused he waved, "see you later"
Slamming the door he wondered aloud, "what was that?"
Fighting the urge to bump her head against the wall she sighed; if only he hadn't looked so damn edible.
Alexis sat at her desk, "yeah Molly, uh-huh I'm listening...and the answer is still no...I don't care if Daddy said okay; you are not going to Cape Cod with your friends. The answer is no, it will be today, tomorrow, in two weeks. No, n-o. What young lady? We will talk about that word when I get home"
It feels like home to me, it
feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I
come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It
feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
Sonny stood at the door and watched her in Mommy mode. There was nothing this women didn't do that amazed him. He wondered why it took him so long to see.
"Bravo" he said clapping as she hung up the phone.
She looked at him annoyed, "Molly wants to go to Cape Cod for the weekend with some friends...and someones older brother chaperoning I already have one teenage daughter pregnant; I don't need the other"
Sitting, "I'm so glad I have boys"
"Shut up, did you come here to taunt me?" she said narrowing her eyes at him.
The dimples made an appearance as they often did with her, "I actually came to take you to lunch"
Arching her eyebrow, "you are lucky I am voraciously hungry"
"Oh those million dollar words; Alexis Davis is back"
"You bet your ass she is"
Cameron took the elevator up to the lobby of General Hospital. He knew how Kristina's stomach didn't seem to be holding anything down so he had picked up her favorite chicken soup from the Metro Court and a bacon and avocado sandwich.
"Hey baby" came from his mother as he stepped off the elevator.
Blushing, "hey mom, have you see Kris?"
"Yeah I think she is in the cafeteria already"
He made his way down the long corridor towards the cafeteria; when he finally rounded the corner he spotted her. She was sitting at the table; her laughter floating through the brightly lit cafeteria. Sitting at the table with her were people he had known since he was a kid...Cassius, Dr. Julian, Dr. Patrick, and Leyla...and she looked like she fit. When he looked down at his grubby jeans and black converse he suddenly lost his appetite.
Well, if you knew how much
this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your
touch
And if you knew how happy you are making me
I never
thought that I'd love anyone so much
Kristina walked into the Penthouse door dead on her feet. Her shoes had already been given up on in the elevator and she walked to her bedroom and took off the work clothes. She placed her hand on her belly where their child was growing. Tomorrow would be their first real appointment and she couldn't wait. She pulled on Cameron's baseball shirt and a pair of his boxer shorts and climbed into the cool satin of the sheets.
The dinner shift had proved to be a taxing one...he didn't know whether to be annoyed or grateful that it at least gave him a mind change. Seeing Kristina with those people today; in a different element was weird...he felt disconnected from her. When he finally got home the house was totally quiet and he walked up to the room and saw her bathed in moonlight in his t-shirt her hand protectively over where his son or daughter grew. It amazed him and frightened him at the same time. Slowly he undressed pulling a pair of pajama pants on and crawling next to her.
"Mmm" she murmured as he came behind her to hold her.
He was scared; it had all started to hit him that afternoon...but as he buried his head into her hair he also felt the familiar flush of joy. He was 17, married with a baby on the way...and yet when they were here; like this...he felt like he was home.
It feels like home to me, it
feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way the back where
I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It
feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
It feels like I'm
all the way back where I belong
