Heart of Courgage Chapter 51~Strength
Selena stomped out of the elevator. Everyone watched her intently knowing her temper. A lot of them didn't even know her really but they knew who she was. She had tried to rip a guys eyebrows off once for checking her out. She was much worse about her temper back then but that didn't mean it was under control. She hurried past the desk,ignoring the receptionist as she tried to stop her. She was not in the mood to have to mess with people...then again,she was never in the mood to deal with people. She went to Doctor Theron's door and knocked furiously. "Open the door." She ground out through clenched teeth. The lock was still red. She knew he was in there. His door would have been open if not. "Hey!" Still nothing. She had had it. She went back to the desk. "Where is Doctor Theron?"
"Hes in his office Ma'm."
She rolled her eyes. "Okay fine. I just knocked on his door and he wouldn't answer. Can I go see Garrus?"
"I'm sorry Ma'm but your'e not allowed to go back there without a Doctor's approval."
It was apparently time to use it. "I have Spectre authority and I will use it if I have to." She took on a darker tone. "I need to see Garrus,now." The poor receptionist looked terrified and she had every right to be. She hoped she scared her til she crapped her pants to be honest. She was tired of messing with people who neither listened nor seemed to care what her problem was.
"Umm,yes Ma'm. You can go back now."
"Thank You." She said in a pleasant tone that she was so not actually feeling.
She walked back towards his room and opened the door. He was laying down still asleep. She hoped he would wake up soon. The sooner he woke up and recovered the sooner they could be out of here. She sat down in a chair next to him and turned on her data pad. She had been reading this "book",it was called Pride and Prejudice,she actually really liked it. It was a very old book from way back in time. It had been converted for their technology. She wanted to know more about that time period,she was just never able to read. But as it turned out she was going to have plenty of time to read now that she was on maternity leave. She didn't want to leave the Alliance for anything,but she had no choice. She knew she was being stupid. She could go back as soon as she had recovered from the pregnancy. She was definently starting to hate this though. She was starting to gain weight,hell she had started a few weeks ago. She was very excited for the pregnancy...she was just not looking forward to the weight gain,swelling,mood swings...pain. She was a a soldier,she had a very high tolerance for pain,that didn't mean she liked it. She looked back to her data pad and continued reading.
The next hour passed and she looked up to check on Garrus for the 4th time in an hour. He was still sound asleep. In the silence her mind started racing again. She wondered what the child would look like,she somewhat worried what it would look like. Would the child get bullied and teased because of the way it looked? Or would the child look perfectly normal and just take on Garrus' traits like the Asari. She knew that was a a stupid thing to think though. She was human,he was turian...what did she expect,the perfect child? For the most part she didn't care at all what it looked like,she would love it just the same. She looked back at the time and realized another 45 minutes had passed. Her stomach was growling at her so she finally got up and left the room to get some food. She didn't really want anything but she was pregnant,she needed to eat not only for herself but for it. She decided she would go to the cafe in the wards and started for the elevator. Before she walked out the door she went back to the front desk.
"If Garrus wakes up while I'm gone,make sure to ping me."
She gave her a weird look. "I'm just the receptionist Ma'm."
"Then notify a nurse of this for me will you! I have been through so much stress lately I feel like I could explode. I just want to go get some frickin food in some frickin peace and quiet!" She had finally lost her temper and she knew that was coming. She felt bad kind of but she couldn't help it. There comes a time when you reach a breaking point. That was hers.
She stomped out of the hospital and got into the elevator. She then realized she had forgotten to leave her number at the desk. She leaned her head back against the back of the elevator with an aubible 'thump'. She was so exhausted...she just wanted to be out of here. She was tired of white sterile walls and the smell of anti biotics. The only time she had any real relief was when she went to the wards and just set down on a bench. A C-sec officer once thought she was homeless because she was sleeping on a bench. They took that statement back when they saw her face. They knew who she was. The elevator stopped and she went straight for the cafe. Thankfully there wasn't really any people there right now. Maybe she could find some peace here tonight.
