The Child Chapter#8
She didn't wait for the shock and regret to register on his face but turned on her heel and walked out. She began walking down the hospital corridor in the direction of the lab, but after a few steps froze as she suddenly realized the implications of her statement. 'Now that he had the scientific proof he would want to do right by her and marry me,' Anne thought to herself as she sunk down against the wall suddenly terrified of that, she began to cry, and once she started she couldn't stop. Mac came out and found her in this way.
" Oh Anne, I-I'm so sorry, sorry for hurting you by not beliving, sorry for stonewalling you, I'm just so…" Mac broke off, as he realized she was still crying. ' It's not supposed to be this way, she should be happy…' he thought to himself as he bent down and held her as she cried.
" What's wrong?" He finally asked her with a look of concern on his face.
" It's ju-just that I'm the one that lied to you in the first place and you're apologizing to me. And I'm mad at myself for being so scared, and frightened of telling you." She took a gulp of air before continuing:
I was scared of your reaction, but at the same time I had to tell someone, so I told Joe, and now I feel even worse because here you are back in my life and I feel like you've missed out on so much of her growing up, her first word, her first step, and her first tooth because of me." Anne finished as she wanted to catch her breath. There was silence between the couple then. Finally Mac broke it:
" You told Joe, so what? I'm almost 500 years old and I go to Joe every once in a while when I need to unburden myself. Immortals can gather an awful lot of emotional baggage, " Duncan told her with a half-smile on his face.
"I wish it were that simple, but it's not, it's a bit more complex than that," Anne told him as she removed his arm from around her shoulders and got up.
" Not now, later. Right now, I have a daughter to save." Mac told her, liking how that sounded coming off of his tongue.
"Follow me then," Anne answered her voice returning to normal as she began walking towards the lab. Mac waited a few seconds before following. They arrived at the lab at the same time. Anne pulled her keys out of her pocket and opened the door and went in, Duncan followed.
" Pull up a stool, I'll go get a syringe. I shouldn't need very much blood." Anne assured him as she walked to a drawer and pulled out the required items then turned back to Mac.
" Make a fist," she instructed looking for a vein. She was obeyed.
" This should only take a minute," Anne informed him sticking the needle in. A moment later when the tube was full, Mac climbed off the stool. She placed a stopper in the tube and followed him out.
" I'll go grab us a coffee and meet you back in Mary's room," Mac offered.
" Ok, but instead of coffee get me some chamomile teal with milk- no sugar," she told Mac.
" Chamomile tea, with milk, no sugar, got it," Mac repeated as the pair parted.
20 min. later…
Mac walks up the hall with the drinks in hand, and not very well balanced. He pauses just outside of Mary's room to get his balance, and he can hear voices coming from inside:
" You mean, you didn't tell him?" Joe asked incredulously
" I tried to, but he wouldn't hear it." Anne answered. Mac chose this moment to make his entrance.
" Tell me what?" Mac asked stepping through the doorway.
" Tell you that Mary is starting to wake up," Anne said moving towards the bed. 'Wow, that was close; Anne thought as she took up her baby's hand.
So, our darling doctor has a secret that I didn't tell!
