Last Time

EPOV

"Well, if that's what you want then I cannot refuse. For the next few hours your wish is my command," I purred. I was going to enjoy this as much a she was.

I jumped on the bed and began to tickle her mercilessly. This would not be the only time tonight she would be screaming my name...

APOV

Though it hurt her it was the only way to get her off of my case. She had desperately been trying to get me to eat but nothing but the sight of Jasper would do that. He had promised he would come back for me but it had been almost a year now and there was still no sign.

I am happy and no one can take that away from me I thought to myself as I pulled out of my drive way.

My daughter was fully recovered from her catatonic state and was enjoying University in New York. From what I heard, she even had a boyfriend though I had yet to meet him. Her happiness made me happy.

On the romance level things were starting to heat up with Ruth Walkers, a nurse I had met whilst helping a kid who had been in an accident. I remembered our first date if it could be called that...

"C-can I speak to Nurse Walkers please?" I nervously asked the receptionist. I was nervous because she was the most beautiful person I had met since meeting Renée, and that was years ago. I didn't know how old she was and was not willing to let myself hope for her to be my age to avoid disappointment. Besides, with looks like hers, why wouldn't she have a boyfriend or be married?

But this didn't stop the butterflies in my stomach when she came over to me.

"Hello Chief Swan," she smiled. I stared, lost in her beauty wanting so much to be more than just acquaintances.

"H-hello Nurse Walker," my nerves were showing and this made her laugh. The sound of her laughter relaxed me slightly but didn't stop the gymnastics my stomach was doing. "How is the kid?" I asked, my voice strengthened with confidence at the fact that I had made her laugh.

"He's doing well, he's a fast healer and should be ready to go in a couple of days," she replied. She suddenly turned her gaze to the floor and flushed red. "W-would, you l-like to get a cup of c-coffee with me?" she stammered.

"Yes," I said without hesitation. She looked up and smiled at me before gesturing for me to follow her to the cafeteria. We got our cups from the vending machine on the way and were about to sit down when her pager beeped. She sighed and began to apologise but was cut off when I received a call on my radio.

We laughed at these disturbances and quickly exchanged numbers before heading off to attend to out duties.

We were happy with each other and if things continued this way I was going to ask her to move in with me, maybe even marry her. But talk of marriage now might scare her so it would be best to leave it and let things flow.

I sighed in content and continued my journey into Seattle.

RenéePOV

"Phil! Put me down!" I screamed as he lifted me from the car. Where he got his strength from I didn't know. When you looked at him, you didn't think that he would be able to lift a 126 pound woman, but that was what he did.

He put me down and shut the car door, before placing his hand at the small of my back to guide me into the hospital like he would a child.

We were at the hospital because Phil was worried about my health. For the past two days I was vomiting and my hormones were all over the place. Of course I didn't want to go, but I went just to prove to him that I was fine.

When we came in, I wanted to leave straight away. I despised hospitals. It wasn't the sight of blood, or needles that made me hate them. In fact I didn't know why I hated hospitals myself. But there was something about them I didn't like which is why I made it my duty never to be in hospital for any reason.

We went into see Dr. Appleby and after a few tests and what seemed like hours of waiting, he came back to give us the results.
