Jen stirred in her sleep snuggling into the pillow she opens her eyes with a smile on her face….she could smell Tilly….Laying there thinking about what had happened last night she had to pinch herself that it wasn't all a dream…
Rose knocked the door…Jen love…she called as she entered….You ok sweetheart?
Jen smiled with a nod…Yeah …yeah im great…
Good…Rose grinned…I take it thinks are looking up for you and the Doc? She asked handing Jen a Coffee…
Jen sat up taking the hot drink…I don't want to jinx it but yeah…so far so good….You going to see Dad?
Glad to hear it darling…Its nice to have something to smile about after the few weeks we've had…Rose said tapping Jen's leg…Yeah im off to see ya Dad.. Hopefully he will be home soon….
God I hope so…Jen said sipping her Coffee…If you wait for me to take a quick shower I'll come with you…
Don't you want to see The Doctor?
Jen laughed…I don't want to rush anything or put to much on her….Give me 10 minutes and ill be ready…
Rose headed downstairs to wait for Jen…As Jen stands in her room drying herself she sees her phone flashing ..realising she had missed a call from Tilly she called her straight back..
Jen- hey… sorry I miss your call I was in the shower..
Tilly- well I'll let you off then.. She laughed ..nice image…she whispered..
Jen blushed with a giggle…So what can I do for you?
Tilly- Wellll I…..
Hearing Chloe in the back ground whispering Jen laughed…
Tilly- Uh im sorry…Chlooooooe and I were wondering what you were doing today?
Jen- Wellll….Chloooooe and you…Im just heading out to see my Dad and then ummmm..Nothing..
Yay…Chloe clapped. Causing Jen and Tilly to laugh…
Tilly- I see….well would you like to hang out with us today….? Chloe wants to go to watch the boat race on the river…
Jen- sounds perfect….
Tilly- Great well how about we pick you up from the hospital after visiting finishes?
Jen- perfect…I will meet you outside the main entrance
Jen and Tilly said there good byes and Jen headed off with Rose to see Graham…
Chloe was excited about her day. As Tilly brushes her hair she begins to giggle…
What? Tilly laughs curious as to why she was laughing..
Mum…you are silly…You didn't tell Jen what time we would pick her up….Chloe informed the Red head..
Ahhhhh Tilly laughed. That's because Jen and I are cleaver and we both know what time the visiting ends at the hospital..
Chloe frowned Tilly could see her trying to work out what she was just told….You sure Jen will be there?
Im pretty sure Jen will be…I mean would she really want to miss out on a play date with her new best friend? Tilly said tickling the child…
Chloe laughed…That's me..
That is you yes….Come on. Lets go get some yummy things to take with us..
As Jen and Rose arrive on grahams ward they notice Liam is sat beside him…
There's my 2 favourite girls. Graham smiles as he spots them…
Hey Dad..Jen smiles Kissing him on his head..
Alright sis….Liam mutters rubbing his eyes..
Late night? Jen asks sarcastically…
Something like that…I was just telling Dad about this girl I met…Liam explained…
Jen rolled her eyes…Another notch on your bed post…
Liam laughed ..what can I say…
Jen wasn't amused but Graham laughed…Ah to be young again…
Oi you. Rose said tapping his arm. Less of that unless you want to be in here a bit longer..
Jen laughed…So has the Doctor been round?
Graham shook his head…Not yet love…Shouldn't be to long now..
Yeah least it aint that Red head. Liam piped up..
Oi…Jen snapped…
Well…..Liam shrugged…
Well nothing Liam…Jen said angrily…Tilly saved Dads life….If she hadn't been here….
Then there would have been another Doctor Jen…Liam butted in…..Don't care what you say…she's trouble…
That's enough…Rose whispered firmly…Liam..Tilly has been a god send to all of us..
Yeah and if you actually stuck around you would of known that….Jen moaned ..Im going for Coffee…
Rose followed …
Aye…C'mon son…Graham warned…Leave it out will you…
Dad… Jen might want to ignore what happened but I wont….She lost everything because of that women.. Everything she worked so hard for….She may have help you get better but that's her job…she isn't no mother Teresa
Graham knew There was a lot of history between Jen and Tilly and at the time he himself wasn't happy that Jen had lost everything. .But he also knew his daughter was head strong and will do what she wants… If Jen wanted to get involve with Tilly again it would be her choice and he and Rose would support her …
Liam…Jen is a big girl…she can look after herself…Just stop giving her a hard time ok…Graham told him…
Liam shook his head….She had an affair with her student…Her 17 year old student might I add…he whispered….She loses everything…her career…her self respect…her reputation…Annnnd….he added…she almost went to prison…Yet this girl…Goes on to become some hot shot Doctor with this huge reputation …she's probably on more money a year then ill ever earn in my life time….And gets to drive around in a shit hot range rover….how does that seem fair..?
But Liam its Jen's life….She chose to risk everything she had….She didn't go to prison because that young girl didn't let that happen….And good on her for becoming a Doctor…I for one am glad she did…Listen son ..I know your looking out for your sister and im glad you are…But…..Sometimes you have to let things go and let people live their lives the way they want…
Liam slumped in his chair shaking his head..
So? Liam isn't a fan of Tilly…Rose said as her and Jen wait for their coffees
Jen shook her head closing her eyes….
Good job he doesn't know about the two of you then…Rose added..
Yeah…And I want to keep it that way for now..Jen replied…The last thing I need is for him to go on at me…
Secrets safe with me darling.. Rose winked…So when are you seeing the Doctor again..
Later..Jen grinned…Her and Chloe are meeting me here after visiting…Chloe invited me to see some boat race…
Oh…the university rowing races….it's a good day out that. Rose explained….Best hope Liam doesn't see her picking you up then….Rose laughed..
Oh Shit…I didn't think of that….Jen joked…
As they sit back with Graham the Doctor arrives..
Good morning Mr Gilmore…Im Doctor James…How are you today..
Not bad thanks Doc…Graham answered..
Good…I see you had the pleasure of Doctor Evans looking after you….The Doctor smiled checking Grahams medical notes..
Liam rolled his eyes and grumbled…
Yes…Graham said looking at Liam disappointed….She was brilliant..
That she is…Doctor James agreed…So much so that you've recovered quicker then we thought. So….He smiled. How would you like to go home?
What? Jen frowned…Uh…is he ready? I mean his heart…
His heart is showing great improvement. .Doctor James said reassuringly …We need to get your weight up a little and if your recover remains the same as it is then I think we can send you home by the weekend….
Graham had a huge smile on his face. As did Rose…It will be good to have you home…The grass needs a good cutting ..Rose Joked..
Doctor James laughed…Well I think gardening's out the question for the time being but if you rest properly and don't over excerpt yourself I don't see why you wont make a full and speedily recovery..
Graham thanked the Doctor and got a hug from Rose…..No more rubbish food and sleepless nights. .he smiled…
No Just Rose bossing you about aye Dad…Jen joked…
I think I can manage that…Graham winked…
Visiting time was over and Jen ,Liam and Rose left…Rose trying everything she could to keep Liam from leaving the same way as Jen….
Oh Liam I cant find the car keys….Would you be a love and run up to the ward see if I left them there? Rose lied
Liam moaned a little but agreed as he headed back into the hospital Tilly pulled up beeping the horn. Which caused Liam to look behind…
As Jen approached the car Liam came storming out….Please tell me your fucking kidding me…He moaned..
Uh…Stop. Rose warned holding his arm…
Rose ..is she serious? Liam spat…..
Jen didn't hear Liam and got into the car…Tilly however noted the exchange of words between him and Rose…
Hello….She grinned..
Hi Jen…Chloe called from the back seat…
Tilly smiled…She's a little over excited…
Hi Chloe…Jen smiled. You look very cute today…
I know. Chloe agreed…
Tilly laughed out loud…Shell we go?
As she pulled away. Liam shook his head…..This is a fucking joke…..
Liam…Language…Rose moaned…
Why am I the only one that thinks this is the most stupidest thing Jen has every done…That girl is poison….She ruined Jen's life and no one seems to give A shit but me…
Maybe you need to concentrate on your own life Liam…And leave Jen to Do the same…So what If Jen wants to see Tilly…
What happened between them was a very long time ago…they are different people now….
Do you want your sister to be unhappy forever…Rose asked…
If it means staying away from that ..then yeah.. Liam answered…
Then you….Are a very selfish young man. Rose spat as she walked away…
Liam stood alone really unhappy about what he had just witnessed…..
Once Jen got out of the car she smiled…Wow this looks great…
Yeah…Chloe smiled holding Jen's hands…My grumpy brings me here every time….Look…she called out running over to see the boats being placed into the water…
Tilly…Why does Chloe call her Granddad…Grumpy? Jen laughed..
Tilly shrugged…Dunno really…its how she pronounced it when she was small and it stuck …
Oh..Jen laughed…
Looking around to make sure Chloe wasn't close enough to hear….Tilly turns to Jen…
I take it Liam doesn't know about us?
Jen looked at Tilly..Liam?
Did you not see him at the hospital? Tilly asked…He looked pretty pissed off
Jen shook her head. I didn't see him…I mean he went back into the hospital..
Tilly shook her head…He walked back out when you got in my car…I could see him shouting…Looked like he and Rose were having words…
Jen sighed…He has only just arrived back ..I hadn't really seen me…And anyways what business is it of his…
Its not…But I can see him being an issue…Tilly said..
No Tilly….I wont let him be…Jen explained…What is happening between us is nothing to do with him or anyone else….Its about me….U and Chloe…
Tilly scanned Jens face for a second before smiling…Good…she says as she leans in to Kiss Jen….
As she pulls away Jen pulls her back in for a longer Kiss…..
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww…
Jen and Tilly part at the noise looking around seeing Chloe behind them laughing…
Ewwww…she says again…C'mon the Boats are ready…..
Ooops..Tilly jokes as she pulls the chairs and picnic out of the boot of the car…
Its Boat race time then…She adds with a giggle…
Their Day was going brilliantly ..Chloe had a smile as wide as her face…She loved having Jen around …so did Tilly Infact…As they walk along the river Tilly takes Jen's hand….Jen looked down with a smile….
What? Tilly frowned..
Nothing..Jen smiled again. Its just well…If someone would have told me 10 yrs ago that one day you and I would be walking along a river holding hands for all to see I'd never had believed it…
Well…Tilly grins lifting their hands up…..Believe it…
Chloe was tiring…Mummy…I don't want to talk anymore….
Ok…Maybe its home time..? Tilly asked..
Chloe nodded parting their hands taking them both in hers….
As they headed back to the car Jen felt like she wanted to cry…Not tears of sadness…but tears of joy….For the first time in her life she felt like she really belonged…
By the time they arrived home Chloe had fallen asleep…Jen offered to carry her to bed while Tilly emptied and locked the car up….Once they were both in Chloe's room Jen watches as Tilly undresses Chloe…Getting her into her bed clothes…
You ok? Tilly whispers noticing Jen in a world of her own…
Me? Jen smiles…Yeah im fine…She adds as she sits on Chloe's bed…
Tilly…Thank you….Today was amazing..Ive had such a great day…
Tilly smiles…It was nothing..
It was…Jen nods…You have no idea how much it meant to me….Just being with you and Chloe …
Well…we liked having you with us too….Tilly smiled stroking Jen's face….
Cmon..before we wake her up..Tilly adds pulling Jen out of the room….
Tilly leads the way to her bedroom..
Am I being a bit forward to assume your staying? She asks slightly embarrassed..
Jen bites her lip….Well ..I don't have a car here so…
Good…Tilly winked…So have you thought about what your going to say to Liam…?
Jen shook her head…No….And im not either…Like I said before its about us….
3 musketeers? Tilly asked..
Jen laughed…Yeah….why not…
Tilly stands watching Jen for a moment…Is this really what you want ?
Jen walked over to Tilly cupping her face in her hands…More then anything else in the world….All I want is me…U and little Miss Chloe…..
And the distance? Tilly asked…
Tilly London's not that far….I can be here as much as I need to be….Tilly I want you so much that if it started to become a problem I'd move ..
To Oxford? Tilly frowned..
Jen nodded…If I had to yeah….I lost you once before….I don't plan on doing it again….
Tilly blushed…Im sure it will be fine….
It will be…Now shut that door so I can show you just how much you mean to me…..Jen joked seductively …
