CHAPTER 06
Frank said I hadn't seen your mother in a couple of days, I knew she was staying clear of the 4th floor because of Jake. I was passing by the cafeteria when I saw her, I went in, brought lunch, and asked to share her table. In the conversation, I asked her out to dinner which she declined.
Wes said, "She actually turned you down, did it hurt your ego?"
Frank said, "No, it made me more determined. She was a challenge because she wasn't like other women throwing themselves at me. Then there was her history with Jake, that was still raw."
Jake said, "Monica, Alex, Cody, and I put your Dad threw some shit when he first joined the team as our leader. We were still dealing with our former boss and good friend being killed. So we did not make it easy for your Dad."
"I decided to sent her a plant instead of flowers, my thought was the flowers would probably die within days but the plant would take longer. On the card I wrote, Every time you look at this plant, it will make you think of me. It will need TLC just like me. Patiently waiting."
"Wow, that's a great idea, that should have had Mom eating out of your hand."
Jake answered that, "No, your mother was very tough at that time, for whatever reason she had built a protective wall around her feelings. Trust me, I saw it many times."
Frank said, "Jake's right, I thought I would least get a thank you, but she never responded. In fact, we didn't see her until the day that Jake was getting released."
Jake said, "I'll never forget that day, her defense were down that day. Remember when she walked into the room?"
Frank said, "Yeah, we were expecting Dr. Henson."
Samantha knew when she got up this morning it was not going to be a good day. She had that gift to know when something dreadful was going to happen. She had geared herself up for a confrontation with Jake. Dr. Henson had called last night and asked her to cover for him.
Samantha had just walked into the hospital when she heard the page. "Dr. Walkman, call Pediatrics stat."
Samantha called to find out that a newborn needed emergency surgery. That was going to put her behind schedule for the day.
It was ten o'clock and Jake was still waiting to be discharged. Everyone could see he was anxious to get out there. When the nurse came in, Jake asked, "How much longer until the doctor gets here so I can get out of here?"
The nurse smiled, "Soon, the doctor was called into emergency surgery so the schedule is backed up. You're first on the list once the operation is finished."
Samantha had worked hard to save the baby's life, but in the end she wasn't able. Although, she tried not to get emotionally involved sometimes it couldn't be helped. This operation had gotten to her, but she had a full schedule since she was covering for Dr. Henson. She would have time tonight alone to grieve; she washed up and headed for the 4th floor.
The nurse was just finishing up the noon vitals when Samantha walked in, "I apologize for being so late. Once I examine you, I sign the discharge papers."
Jake said, "Where's Dr. Henson? I told you I don't want you on the case."
Samantha wasn't in the mood for Jake's bashing, "People in hell want ice water too. Dr. Henson had an emergency and I am covering for him. If you don't want me to discharge you, fine you can wait 'til Monday when Dr. Henson returns. Just think because of your stubbornness, your insurance co will have to pay for 3 more days, but the sad fact is you're taking a bed that a really sick person may need." She turned and walked out of the room.
Everyone could feel the tension in the room, then the nurse said, "She's not usually like this. She just came from emergency surgery, which resulted in a newborn dying. Word is she took it pretty hard."
Jake felt like the scum of the earth, he wasn't prepared to see Samantha again so his only defense from the hurt that had resurfaced was to hurt her. Frank saw the torment in his eyes said, "I get her back here to discharge you."
"Thanks." Jake said.
Frank was out of the room and down the hall looking for Samantha, he used Jake as an excuse to see her. What he really wanted to do was wrap his arms around her and comfort her.
Samantha was at the nurse station talking to the nurse, "See, if you can page Dr. Cummings for me."
Frank walked up to her, "Dr Walkman."
She knew by the sexy voice who it was before turning around to see him, "Agent Donovan."
"Will you come back to Jake's room so you can do whatever you need to so he can get out of here?"
"I am having another doctor paged, so I can get Jake released."
"No, you need to do it. He is ready to have you do it."
"Sorry, he had his chance. I will not deal with his animosity, especially today."
Frank grabbed her arm, when he did her felt her stiffen; yet he did not let go. He pulled her to the side and said, "We know what happened this morning."
"Wh-who told you?"
"The nurse was explaining why you were not yourself."
The nurse at the station called Dr. Walkman saying Dr. Cummings was on the phone.
"Please for me." Was all Frank said as he walked away.
As it was, Dr. Cummings was not able to assist Samantha, she grabbed Jake's chart and walked down the hall.
