Brady meekly allowed Nancy to tow him to an unknown location. "Nancy, I
can walk without your help" he protested. Nancy eased her grip on his arm
"In here" she motioned toward Craig's office. Brady sat down on the
loveseat in the office, as Nancy closed and locked the door from the
inside. "Nancy" he spoke softly "is it necessary to lock the door? It's
not like I am going to run out or anything."
Nancy said nothing as she sat in the chair behind Craig's desk. Brady began to feel a little nervous, he felt like he was in third grade, sitting in the principal's office. "Brady" Nancy stared at him "I want to know what you want from my daughter?" she asked. Brady almost grinned, but decided not to, seeing as Nancy was being so serious "what do you mean, Nancy?" he asked.
Nancy glared at him, "don't get off the subject, Brady Black" she warned "I want to know what you have in mind for my daughter's future." Brady gulped "Nancy" he sighed "do you really think I want to hurt her?" he asked. Nancy shook her head, "no and I don't think you would" she nodded "not intentionally anyway."
Brady sighed, "I cant promise that I'll never hurt Chloe, but I'll do whatever I can to prevent that" he promised "but you have to know that I am not going to go away anytime soon. I intend to spend every minute I can with Chloe as soon as she is out of the hospital." Nancy nodded, she had that much figured out "Brady, do you love my daughter?" she asked.
Brady nodded, "yes, Nancy I do" he said softly "It sort of snuck up on me, but when she was hurt and not waking up, I realized that I do love her." Nancy thought about it for a minute, "I think she loves you" Nancy warned "and if you hurt her, even unintentionally, I'll have your head on a platter."
Brady chuckled "since I am fond of my head, I'll be sure to not hurt her, okay?" he looked to her for a response. "Okay, Brady, but you better know that I am serious" Nancy spoke sternly. "I realize that Nancy, and I would never hurt her any more than I would hurt myself, now can I please go check on her?" he pleaded.
Nancy stood up, "Ok, I'll go with you" she agreed. Together they walked out of Craig's office, almost arm and arm, but not quite, after all Brady reasoned he did have somewhat of a reputation. Craig watched Nancy and Brady emerge from his office, neither of them looked like they were bleeding, so he guessed they did okay.
***Meanwhile in Chloe's Room***
Chloe opened her eyes, "Brady" she called out sleepily. There was no response "Brady" she called again. Brady pushed the door open "I'm right here" he responded worriedly, she looked pale and sweaty. "Hey, are you okay?" he asked gently. Chloe nodded "Yeah, I just had a nightmare" she reached for his hand. Brady took her hand in his, "wanna talk about it?" he asked.
Chloe shook her head "Just hold me Brady" she turned her eyes on him "Please?" Brady helped her scoot over "Come on Diva" he pulled her close to him "just rest on me, nobody is going to hurt you as long as I am here." From the door, Nancy watched them, she was certain that Brady wasn't lying when he said he would take care of her and not hurting her. "Satisfied, mama bear?" Craig spoke from behind her. Nancy jumped "Craig" she swatted him "you scared me."
Craig grinned and wrapped his arms around his wife "are you satisfied?" he repeated. Nancy nodded as she watched the Brady and her daughter "He does love her, doesn't he?" she spoke quietly. Craig nodded "Yes, I believe he does" Craig agreed. They continued to watch for a few more moments as both Brady and Chloe drifted off to sleep, safe and secure in each other's arms.
"They'll probably sleep all night" Craig whispered, they had a busy day.
"I say Mrs. Wesley" Craig grinned wickedly "that we take a clue from our daughter and go home, to get some rest." Nancy returned his grin "Just rest Mr. Wesley?" she purred seductively. Craig chuckled "well, maybe a little later" he agreed, kissing her gently.
Nancy said nothing as she sat in the chair behind Craig's desk. Brady began to feel a little nervous, he felt like he was in third grade, sitting in the principal's office.
