Leon was dozing off in the chair next to Priss when a nurse came into the room.
"I need to take your doughtier for some tests." She whispered to Leon as she picked Lilly up.
"Test's?! What kind of tests?" Leon asked.
"Just the usual stuff." She whispered. "We also need to take finger and foot prints. And fill out the birth certificate that's all she will be back in less than an hour." She said and walked out the door with Lilly in her arms.
Leon leaned back in his chair with a sigh and fell asleep. Priss woke up about 15 minutes later and was startled to find her doughtier missing. She looked over to see if Leon had her and saw that he was sleeping with his hands folded in his lap.
"Leon where is Lilly?" Priss asked sounding very worried. Leon opened his eyes and looked over Priss.
"What's wrong Priss?" He asked.
"Lilly is gone!" Priss said hysterically.
"No a nurse came in while you were sleeping and took her for some tests that's all." Leon explained trying to calm his shacking wife.
"How will they know who's baby is who's?" Priss asked starting to calm down.
"She put a wrist band around your wrist and one around Lilly's. They are identical and they are the only 2 in this hospital. And they can only be removed by cutting them off." He said.
"Are you sure?" Priss asked.
"Yes I'm sure." Leon said smiling. "Plus Lilly has a birth mark on her right foot." Priss laid back in the bed with a heavy sigh and closed her eyes.
"I've never been so scared in my life." Priss said.
About 30 minutes later the nurse came back into the room carrying Lilly. Priss was overjoyed to have her little girl back in her arms. Priss immediately checked the wristband and compared it with hers. Then she checked the birthmark on her foot. The nurse seeing this started to laugh.
"It never fails to amuse me when a new mother checks every detail of the child when it comes back after the tests." She laughed as she walked out.
Leon looked at Priss holding there doughtier and smiling.
"I take it by the look on your face that everything is ok." Leon said half mocking.
"Yes its her." Priss smiled.
Faith was walking down the hall when the nurse came out of the room laughing. She stepped aside to let the nurse by teen she walked in the room with Priss Leon.
"Hey guys am I interrupting anything?" She asked as she entered.
"Hi Faith." Priss said. " No come in its ok."
Faith walked up to the bed and puled up a chair and sat down.
"I see Miss Lilly is awake." Faith said as Lilly looked at her. "What beautiful cat-like brown eyes. Looks like yours Priss."
"Thank you." Priss said smiling.
"Well I came to tell you the reaction from the band when I tolled them we had a manager." Faith said. "They were all very happy that we had one but they were thrilled to hear that it was Priss Asaragi"
"Boy am I really that famous?" Priss asked.
"Yes you are." Faith tolled her. "They all want to meet you but thought it was to soon after you had a baby. So they said they would wait till you came to see them."
"I'll be up and around in a day or two." Priss said. "But for now all I want to do is go home and lay in my own bed."
"I'll go see when you can go." Leon said and walked out of the room.
A few minutes later Leon came back into the room. Priss and Faith were talking about music and feature plans. Priss looked over at Leon when he came in.
"So when can I get out of here?" She asked.
"As soon as you can get dressed." He said opening the closet and getting Priss's clothes out and handed them to her.
"Great it smells like a hospital in here its driving me nuts." Priss said as she handed Lilly to Leon and started getting dressed. A nurse brought in a wheel chair and the release forms for Priss t sign. Then she turned the chair over to Faith as Leon went to get the car. Leon was just pulling up in the car when Faith was bringing Priss and Lilly out the front door in the chair. Priss was finishing the paperwork and handed the clipboard to the nurse and Leon opened the passenger side door for Priss to get in.
"Finally I can go home." Priss said as she climbed in with Lilly. Leon closed the door and got in the driver's seat and started the car.
"Faith I'm gonna spend some time with Leon and Lilly I'll see you in 3 days at Hot Legs and Bring the band well start working then." Priss said out the window.
"Ok Priss I'll see you Tuesday then." Faith said. Then she headed for her car. Leon and Priss headed for home with there new baby in arms.
"Hey Leon I'm hungry as hell can we pick up something on the way?" Priss asked.
"Yea I guess. What do you want?" He asked.
"A burger fries and a Pepsi." Priss said licking her lips at the thought.
"Ok no problem." Leon said pulling a U-turn and headed for a local drive-through.
Priss got her food plus an extra burger if she was still hungry after the first one and the fries. Then headed for home. They were pulling into the drive when Priss realized something.
"Oh no Leon we don't have a crib for the baby." She said.
"That's ok we can go get one today." Leon tolled her as he shut off the car.
Leon got out and opened the door for Priss (Who was loving the royalty treatment she was getting.) and walked ahead of her to open the front door and stepped aside for Priss to walk in first. When Priss walked through the door she was shocked to find a new baby crib and stroller sitting in the living room. She put Lilly into the crib and pulled the blanket over her and then she looked at the stroller.
Attached to the stroller was a note. Priss opened the note and read it aloud. We thought these were some things the baby would need. Your Friends, Syila, Nene, Linna, Mackey, Nigle, and Daily and your newest friend Faith. Congratulations.
Priss was crying by the time she finished the note. Leon came up behind her and arms around her shoulders.
"I knew we needed these things so when I went for lunch I made a few calls." Leon said.
"You were playing me from the start weren't you?" Priss asked.
"Yep." Was the only thing Leon said.
"You're a jerk you know that don't you." Priss said.
"Yep. But you love that don't you?" Leon asked.
"Yes I do." Priss said turning around to give him a kiss. "Ok I cant stand it any more I gonna die if I don't eat." Priss said grabbing the bag off the table and sitting on the couch and ripping into the wrapper of one of the burgers. She had the Burgers fries and the soda wolfed down in less than 3 minutes, which was an accomplishment even for Priss. Then she stretched out on the couch and was asleep instantly.
