Chapter #9
"Mmmmmmmmm"
Upon hearing the sound Duncan crossed the threshold then, and walked towards the waking child. He took the chair on the side closest to the door, and handed Anne her drink. He sat contemplating Mary's dark curly hair as she continued to stir. 'I still can't believe that you are mine, there is so much I want to teach you my Mary, I want to show you where I grew up, I want to teach you to ride a bike, to tie your shoes, in short I want to show you everything.' He reached out then, and took her tiny delicate hand in both of his. Just as he did her eyes fluttered open.
"Mommy," Mary cried,
"I'm here baby, I'm here, and so is Duncan, and your uncle Joe," Anne said a smile springing to her face.
"You had us really scared there kiddo, we were afraid that you wouldn't wake up" Joe said, as he walked towards the bed.
"Mommy, I had the strangest dream just now, you were in it, and so was Duncan. You guys were somewhere not nice, and there was people screaming…"
Anne cut her off: "sh, sh, sh. You need to get some sleep, so you can be strong. Maybe tomorrow you can come home."
"Really mommy?" Mary looked up at her with a hopeful face.
"Yes, really, now you go to sleep and I'll see you in the morning." Anne said smiling and kissing her daughter on the cheek. Mary closed her eyes then and began to fall asleep.
"Well I for one, feel like celebrating, this small miracle, shall I take you to dinner?" Mac asked Anne.
"Yeah, that would be great Duncan, but let's make it something quick please, I don't want to miss a moment with my daughter." Anne said in acceptance of the invitation
" Don't worry Anne, I'll stay, and call you on Duncan's cell phone if anything changes." Joe offered,
"And I, will stay to keep gramps here company, but I will walk you out." added Methos following the happy twosome out. They walked out in silence, and parted when they got to the parking lot.
"Remember call, if anything, and I mean anything changes," Anne instructed Methos.
" Yes Ma'am," Methos responded grinning taking out his own cell phone as Anne and Duncan continued walking to the car. As soon as Duncan and Anne rode out of the hospital parking lot Methos dialed his phone.
"Hello?" the voice asked gruffly.
" I am through covering for you, poisoning the child to death was not part of our bargain," Methos told the person.
" Really, cause that's not what you said when we last met," The voice responded skeptically.
" I was different then, now it's not me you're messing with, it's one of my friends, and his family," Methos responded angrily.
" A horseman has 'friends' now, oohhhh how touching," the voice responded sarcastically.
"Look, to put it in terms you will understand: I will no longer be used as your errand boy. We are through. I won't challenge you to a duel, but if you ever, even think of messing with my friends or their child again I will reconsider that decision." Methos said menacingly and then hung up the phone and walked back into the hospital.
Well what'd ya think? Something a little shorter, that will hopefully get you thinking, about what's coming. Send reviews and submissions to my fan- fiction website to angelsbabe15@hotmail.com
