Around 6:30 in the morning, Karma was stirring in her bed. She couldn't manage to find her sleep. She decided to go to the bathroom and splash some water in her face to freshen up. While she was walking back to the bedroom she saw lights were on downstairs. She climbed down to see what it was. The light was coming from the kitchen. Amy was feeding Emma her breakfast. Emma was dancing and giggling in her high chair. Amy sensed someone looking at them.
"Sorry if we woke you up." Amy said apologetically.
"Don't worry. You didn't." Karma said back. "What are you doing up so early?"
"My shift starts at 7, but first I have to drop off Emma at her day care." Amy explained.
"What time does visiting hours begin at the hospital?" The auburn girl asked.
"If the patient didn't have complications the night before usually around 8." Amy replied. She had finished feeding Emma. Amy took the plate to the dishwasher and cleaned it. "We better get going." Amy said pulling Emma out of her high chair. "Say bye Emma." Emma did as her aunt told her and she waved at Karma. "There's coffee over there and in the left cabinet there's some tea. Take what you please." Amy said to Karma when she went to pick up Emma's bag. Karma smiled internally because Amy remembered she didn't drink coffee and offered her tea.
Amy arrived at the hospital and quickly went by the nurse's desk to ask how her sister was. They informed her that they spent the night really well and if everything ran smoothly today they could get released tomorrow.
"Hey Manning. What am I doing today?" Amy greeted her mentor.
"Today you're working in the OR administering anesthesia and when there's no operation scheduled, I want you to give rounds in all the rooms." Manning briefed her.
"Um sir isn't it against hospital policy for a doctor to treat family members?" Amy questioned Manning.
He shook his head. "Hospitals generally don't like this because when a family member is involved doctors let their emotions control them, but us supervisors like to take the opportunity when it is presented to allow young doctors as yourself to be in that position. This helps you be more objective in the ER." Dr. Manning stated to her.
Amy nodded and left for her duties. She had to attend a minor surgery that was waiting on her arrival. After the procedure was done she left to check on the patients. About an hour later Amy had finally arrived to Lauren's room. She knocked until given the okay to enter.
"Good morning." Amy greeted them wanting to look professional. Bruce, Farrah and Karma were there and of course Lauren and Matt. Since they were married the hospital allowed them to be in the same room.
"Well look who it is." Farrah said happily as she saw her daughter walk in. Farrah went and hugged Amy.
"Hey mom, Bruce." She said to them. "So let's see what we have here. Let me just tell you. You guys took a beating." Amy said making her way to Matt's bed. She picked up the clipboard and began examining vitals.
"Any pain I should know of?" Amy asked Matt.
"Just in my right side." He informed her.
"Would you mind lifting your shirt real quick?"
Matt did as Amy instructed. Amy examined carefully Matt's abdomen. It was swollen with some bruising. "It's looks as expected, but I'm going to order one of the nurses to give you another medication. It'll help with the pain and its going to make you drowsy so you should get your fair amount of rest." She told her brother in law.
Amy then moved to Lauren's chart. "How about you?"
"I feel fine. Its just my head what's bothering." Lauren told her holding her head.
Amy went and viewed what meds they had given to Lauren. They were good but she needed a higher dosage. "I'm raising your dosage. It should alleviate your pain." Karma observed Amy closely she had never seen Amy in her element. She looked so dedicated to it. Karma would steal glances from Amy without Amy noticing.
"How's our baby?" Lauren asked worriedly. She thanked God that they didn't take her with them the night of the accident.
"She's alright. Missing you guys. I dropped her off at her day care." Amy told them. Lauren smiled. She couldn't be more thankful that Emma had a loving aunt by her side.
"I'll check on you guys later." Amy said dismissing herself from the room.
Around 2 o'clock Amy went to Lauren's room. "Hey just letting you know that I'm done for today. I spoke to Manning and he's letting me go earlier so I can pick up Emma." Amy said to Lauren. Bruce and Farrah had left to eat something in the cafeteria and Matt was sleeping due to the medication Amy had prescribed. The only one there was Karma.
"Thank you so much Amy. I don't know what would Emma do without you." She said sincerely. Karma kept her eyes glued on Amy since she entered the room for the second time. Amy tried her best not to let Karma distract her but she was sucking terribly. In some moments they caught each other looking at the other. Both of them would switch their line of sight only to have their eyes meet again.
"That's why I'm here for." Amy said to her, and she looked up to Karma, "See you guys later." Karma nodded and smiled back making an effort not to blush.
"What's this all about?" Lauren pressed. She waited until Amy left the room. Lauren had noticed their little staring game.
"Nothing. What are you talking about?" Karma said too quickly.
"Don't play with me Ashcroft. I saw the two of you staring at each other. Did anything happen last night?" Lauren asked. Karma had told her that she was staying in her house.
Karma laughed at the comment. "Not really. She came in, I told her I needed a towel and she gave me one. That's it. End of conversation." Karma responded. There was a little hurt in her voice because last night her mind kept replaying their conversation and it was so distant and cold. Karma never thought one of the most awkward conversations of her life was going to be one she had with Amy.
After visitation hours were over Karma got the house. She heard Amy's footsteps chasing Emma down the house. Emma's giggles echoed the surroundings.
"Hey. You're back." Amy said to Karma picking Emma up. "I was going to take Emma out for some ice cream. Wanna come?" Amy offered.
Karma agreed to join them. The three of them got to the ice cream shop. Amy was holding Emma's hand allowing her to walk. Amy ordered her and Emma's ice cream and Karma ordered hers. As they approached the register Karma fetched her wallet.
"Don't worry I got it." Amy said to Karma telling her to put away her wallet. Karma smiled shortly. Karma observed that Amy hadn't changed a bit.
"You sure?" Karma doubted.
"Of course." Amy handed Emma her cup of ice cream. "Why don't you take Emma and find a place to sit down."
As Karma settled into a table she kept looking at Amy. She noticed that the girl attending them was flirting with Amy, but from what Karma could see Amy wasn't interested. However this didn't mean that Karma's jealousy wasn't present. Karma proceeded to play with Emma until she saw Amy sit down at the table. When Amy placed the napkins down Karma spotted that on the first napkin there were a series of numbers. Apparently the girl had given her number to Amy. Amy has game. Karma thought to herself.
"So how's your life as an artist?" Amy broke the awkward silence between them.
"I took a break from it." Truth was that after she finished her MFA (master of arts) Karma stopped painting. Liam always told her how she was wasting her time in something so stupid. "I'm a history teacher now." It wasn't her dream job but at least she got to be away from Liam for 8 hours.
Amy was shocked to hear this news. She always envisioned Karma being a well-known artist. After all she did have the talent. "And how about your music?" Amy asked her.
Karma shrugged her shoulders. "I scribble from time to time, but nothing concrete."
Amy was still in awe of how much four years changed her beloved Karma. It was like someone had changed places with her, but Amy kept saying to herself that if that's what makes Karma happy now she was to slowly accept it. They continued making small conversations until they had finished their ice cream.
They were on their way back to the house. Amy looked over at Emma who had fallen asleep in her car seat. They reached their street and Amy could see a car parked in the street across from the house. She recognized who it was almost immediately. She took a deep sigh and rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"Karma. When I park the car I want you take Emma and go straight inside." She looked at Karma while she was explaining. "No matter what she says don't stop."
"What's going on Amy?" Karma getting a little scared.
"I'll explain later. Just trust me. For old time sakes." Amy pleaded.
Karma nodded. What Amy didn't know is that even after all this years she trusted Amy fully. Amy turned off the ignition and Karma did as she was told. Amy crossed the street to confront the visitor.
"Hey! Don't leave I want to see your face. I want to meet Amy's new fuck buddy. You're probably one of those cheap whores." Lindsay said loudly hoping it would get a reaction out of Karma. Karma carried on her way inside. A part of her wanted to give Lindsay a piece of her mind, but she had to trust Amy. "Ah man she isn't very sociable." Lindsay pouted as Karma entered the residence.
"Lindsay I have been nothing but tolerant towards your little stunts, but this is crossing the line." Amy spoke seriously. She waited until Karma and Emma were inside. She didn't want them to hear their conversation. "You need to leave right now." Amy's patience had gotten to its limit.
"Is that your new girlfriend?" Lindsay asked in and icy tone.
"She's a friend of Lauren." Amy said firmly. She didn't mention that Karma was her ex girlfriend because she wasn't sure what Lindsay could do to Karma. "Lindsay leave now or I will call the police." Amy warned her but Lindsay didn't care. Lindsay gave Amy a death stare. Amy turned around and began to walk to the house. Lindsay had a bottle of water in her hand and she threw it all over Amy's back. If Amy was angry before right now she was fuming with rage. It took all of Amy to not jump on top of Lindsay and bash her head in. After Lindsay saw Amy simply ignored her she was frustrated and had no other choice but to leave.
Amy set foot into the house and she presumed that they were going to be in Emma's room.
"What happened?" Karma said observing Amy's back was soaking wet.
"Someone decided I needed to freshen up." Amy answered trying to not to show her anger.
"Who was that?" Karma asked curiously.
Amy grabbed a towel that was near and began drying herself. "That was Lindsay."
"Your girlfriend, Lindsay?" Karma said unconsciously letting Amy know that she knew Amy had a girlfriend.
Amy looked at Karma. She didn't expect her to know how Lindsay was. "Ex girlfriend." Amy corrected. "Has Lauren talked about her?"
"She called Lauren once when I was with her because you weren't picking up." Karma explained.
"She did that a lot." Amy smiled remembering how pissed of Lauren got anytime Lindsay called. Amy couldn't explain why she felt the need to tell Karma what happened between her and Lindsay, but she did.
Karma was in disbelief with every thing Amy's ex girlfriend did. Lauren always mentioned there was something off but this was way out of line. "Look at the bright side, you're done with her." Karma said attempting not to sound to excited that Amy was single again.
Amy nodded. "At least one of us is doing great in the dating department." Amy spoke not being able to take her eyes of the ring Karma had on her hand.
Karma fidgeted with her finger, she had her head down. "Listen Amy I wanted to apologize."
"What for?" Amy questioned looking at her.
"For how I ended things between us. You of all people didn't deserve what I did to you and I'm deeply sorry. I know that saying this its not going to fix things but I'm hoping it's a start." Karma said staring at her.
Amy didn't predicted hearing an apology from Karma. "Its okay. That's in the past." Amy said. She still felt a little hurt but she didn't want to let Karma know. "I want you to be happy, and if that was not with me that's fine because you're the only person I have loved enough to put before myself. Seeing you happy will make me happy and that's what love is… Right?"
Seconds after Amy finished her sentence Karma crashed her lips onto Amy's. Amy was shocked by Karma's actions, but she reciprocated the kiss. It felt like a jolt of electricity was running through their bodies. They didn't want to stop kissing each other although Amy eventually did.
"Woah." Karma said breathless.
"I know." Amy smiled genuinely. " We can stop if you want."
Karma shook her head before connecting her lips with Amy's once again. Karma's hands were positioned around Amy's neck while Amy had hers one in each cheek as she continued kissing Karma she was grazing her cheeks, waist and back. Amy couldn't seem to believe that this was happening. The second kiss was slower than the first one. It wasn't rushed it was filled with burning passion. Both of them had wanted to do this since their encounter at the hospital. Karma directed Amy into her room and threw her on the bed. They couldn't get enough of each other. Karma's hands traveled under Amy's shirt she pulled it off desperately. Karma kissed Amy's neck and sucked on it knowing it would leave a mark. Amy grabbed Karma from her waist and turned her over so she could be on top. She took of Karma's shirt; as well she threw it out of the way not caring where it landed. Amy began nibbling on Karma's ear then she worked her way to her chest she undid Karma's bra cupping one alternating between kissing it and sucking lightly on it, Amy after a bit switched sides. Karma was moaning softly but one time she failed on suppressing them and moaned loudly. Amy proceeded to go downward until she reached Karma's pants. It took a matter of seconds for Karma to get rid of her pants; Amy did the same. Her fingertips began to explore Karma's thighs she caressed it lightly causing Karma to quiver at the touch. Amy brought her lips to Karma's inner thighs and planted a trail of soft kisses until she arrived to Karmas center; it was moist. Karma let out a moan, she couldn't hold them in any longer she was gripping the sheets but it was no use. Before inserting a finger, Amy blew gently Karma's core. Amy flicked Karma's clit driving Karma into a frenzy. Amy knew Karma was yearning her. She slowly introduced two fingers and began swaying back and forth. Karma's eyes rolled back, she was taking the moment in. She hadn't had contact with someone for so long, because she refused to have sex with Liam. Amy's touch felt amazing, Amy raised her head wanting to see Karma's appearance. Amy placed another finger inside of her and picked up her pace. Karma lifted her hips, she couldn't take the pleasure. Amy's recognized Karma's look, she was about to climax. Amy placed a gentle kiss on her center, and that was it. Karma climaxed. The moment was pure bliss. It took a while Karma to recover herself but it was time for her to return the favor. Karma kissed Amy's abdomen savoring the blonde's toned abs. About the time that Karma advanced to Amy's center she was ready to go. Karma filled Amy's inside with two of her fingers and began thrusting passively it was when she inserted a third finger when Karma quicken her thrusts. It didn't take long for Amy to reach her peak. After she finished she pulled Karma up towards her to kiss her. They were exhausted but neither of them seem to mind. Amy kissed Karma's hair taking her scent in. There was an unsaid "I love you" from both of them. They felt complete for the first time in years.
