Miracles Do Happen
Author's Note: Hey people out there. We get out of school on Thursday so they're cramming us with work. But hey, I'm going to be a senior, why am I complaining. Well, a lot of you wanted to know what's going on with Rebecca and if Leon will propose soon. One of these questions will be revealed in this chapter. Enjoy.
Chapter 5- Dinner and an Emergency
" I don't always leave hair in the sink! That's a lie." Claire exclaimed. Leon picked up a piece of stray hair that had fallen onto the table and held up.
" Uh Huh, you've never left hair in the sink." Leon smirked. Claire slapped him on the arm. Leon just laughed. The two had already taken their orders and were patiently waiting for their food. Leon was sitting across from Claire and the two were just making conversation about the smallest things. Neither of them cared about the looks some of the other customers were giving them.
" Like you haven't left water all over the bathroom floor before? Remember that time you slipped coming out of the shower and hit your head. I thought I had to rush you to the hospital." Claire shot back. Leon grinned a bit.
" And remember your brother's reaction when he came to see what had happened?" Claire smiled broadly, thinking about the memory.
" If I remember correctly, he came to find you laid out on the floor..." Claire couldn't finish because she soon broke out into laughter. Leon rolled his eyes mockingly.
" Go ahead and say it. You know you want to." Claire took a second to calm down.
" Naked. On the floor. Water all over the place. All I heard was a loud scream. I thought it was you but it was Chris covering his eyes and screaming in horror. Leon, I have to tell Sherry." Claire said. Leon's calm demeanor changed to one of horror.
"Oh No. Sherry will never live it down. She'll remind me of that moment for the rest of my pathetic life." Leon informed, grinning the whole time. Claire just smiled at the thought of Sherry laughing herself silly at Leon's uh, interlude.
At that moment, the waiter came out with Leon and Claire's dinner. Leon had the catfish. Claire chose to eat the salmon. That was one of the many things that they had in common. They both love seafood and fish was their favorite. The waiter told them to enjoy their dinner and they begin to eat.
Leon looked over to Claire and admired how she would sometimes go off into a daze. He found out a long time ago that she was always thinking about something. Most of the time it was about him. Here she was right in front of him, eating dinner, having conversation. There was no more awkwardness or nervousness about the situation they were in. They had been out together so many times before this. Now that he and she were a couple. Slipping out of his own daze Leon began to eat his food.
Claire was thinking similar thoughts. Tonight reinforced the fact that Leon was still her friend as well as her lover. With him, she could forget about the stresses of life and think about good times. So many wonderful things could be associated with her love for him. Taking a glance at the man in front of her, Claire knew then that one day she be at this same table again. But not looking at her boyfriend. She'd be looking at her husband.
Meanwhile at Rebecca and Carlos' Place
" Left foot Blue, right foot Red." Sherry called after spinning the spinner. Sherry was crossed over Rebecca who was crossed over Carlos, who was practically stretched from one end of the mat to the other. Slowly each of them took a chance to move. Rebecca made it to her spot but her extra weight wasn't helping her and she slid off of Carlos' back.
Ummph!
" You all right Becca?" Carlos and Sherry asked at almost the same time.
"Yeah, I just feel a little weak." Rebecca said while slowly walking over to the chair. She had been feeling tired all day. Carlos' asked if she had felt sick she said no, just tired.
Back to the Twister game, Carlos was holding up against the Champion of almost anything, the younger of the three, Sherry. Sherry was slowly losing her grip on her spot. She almost fell over while trying to reach the spinner.
" Right hand Green, Left foot yellow." Sherry said. Carlos groaned as he noticed the predicament he was now in. And Sherry's bottom in his way wasn't helping. Carlos sucked his teeth at her.
" Sherry, I wish you'd move your fat ass." He said a bit irritably but teasing her none the less. Sherry grunted at him.
" Shut up, you South American bastard." Sherry called back with a grin on her face. Carlos grinned back.
" Oh, that's good. You're going down." Carlos challenged her back. Sherry smiled.
" Bring it." Carlos attempted to move to the designated spots on the mat. As he crossed his left foot over Sherry's back he started to lose balance and in about 2 seconds he was lying face first on the ground.
From the reclining chair, Rebecca laughed whole-heartily at her dumbass of a fiance lying face first in the mat. Rebecca had heard from Leon of Sherry's uncanny winning streak and was beginning to think Sherry was some kind of prodigy or something. She quickly laughed of the thought when she felt a sharp pain in her abdominal area. She winced.
" Carlos?" Rebecca called softly, grimacing as she held her hand to where she felt the pain. Carlos rose his head up to hear what she had to say.
"What is it baby?" He asked with concern. Sherry too had a concerned look on her face. Realization began to fall on the both of them.
"You're having the baby?" Sherry said in the form of a question but figured that she already knew the answer. " Rebecca nodded slowly before trying to get up but falling back into the chair.
" I think my water broke." Carlos got up quick and went over to Rebecca's side. It looked like her pain was increasing.
"Sherry, go call 911! I'll stay here with Rebecca." Carlos told her with panic increasing in his voice. Sherry nodded and ran to the kitchen to use the phone. Carlos pulled out his bandana he always kept with him and wiped of his fiance's forehead, which was beginning to sweat.
" She's on her way Becca. It's about time we start thinking up some names don't you think?" Carlos said teasingly trying to calm her down. Rebecca chuckled a bit before laying her head on Carlos' arm. He was sitting on the arm rest next to her. She reached for his hand that was on her leg. Carlos grabbed hers and squeezed it as if telling her everything was going to be okay.
" Tell Sherry to call Chris and Jill. So Claire and Leon will know where Sherry is. I want her to come with us to the hospital." Rebecca asked Carlos. Carlos nodded and went to tell Sherry what Rebecca had said.
At Chris and Jill's House
" Chris, it's Sherry. She's at Rebecca's and she want's to talk to you. She says it's urgent." Jill told Chris as she handed to phone over to him. The two of them were watching Signs when the phone had rang. Chris took the phone with a confused look on his face.
" Hey, Sherry what's up?" Chris asked. Jill leaned in to hear what Sherry was saying.
" Chris, Becca's having the baby. The ambulance are on their way now. Rebecca wants you to let Leon and Claire know that Carlos and I are going over there. Are you two coming too?" Sherry asked.
" Yeah, I'll let them know. We're on our way. Bye" Chris said hastily as he
hung up the phone. Jill looked at him curiously.
" What's she so worried about and where are going?" Jill asked. Chris sighed before getting up from the sofa.
" Rebecca's having the baby." Jill's jaw dropped.
" What!? Well, come on, I want to be there with her Chris." Chris acknowledged her.
" Okay, get the car ready while I call Claire." Jill nodded and grabbed her coat.
Back to Claire and Leon
Claire and Leon had already left the restaurant and where now dancing at a new Carribean club that had opened downtown. The two automatically went to try it. Right now, they were dance to a slow reggae tune that a small band was playing. Claire had her head on Leon's should as the phone rang. A bit irritated she answered it. Her and Leon went outside so they could hear better.
" Hello?" She asked. Chris's tenor voice came over the line.
" Claire, Sherry and Carlos told me to tell you that they went to the hospital down the street from Leon's precinct. Rebecca's having the baby. Me and Jill are on our way there now."
Claire's jaw dropped similar to how Jill's did. " Okay, we're coming. Bye."
" Bye." They both hung up. Leon was staring at Claire with a questioning glance.
" What's wrong?" Claire put the phone back into her purse and started to move towards their car.
" Rebecca's having the baby." Leon started to walk with her to the car and chuckled to himself.
" No shit." With that, he got into the car with Claire, hoping that his friend would be okay. And her daughter too.
Back to Rebecca, Carlos, and Sherry in the ambulance
Sherry was sitting next to the paramedic watching them do standard procedure on Rebecca. The whole time her heart going out to her older friend. She seemed to be in more and more pain.
" Keep it up, Rebecca, you're doing great." Sherry said trying to give encouragement. Becca smiled weakly at her. Carlos smiled at Sherry to let her know he appreciated what she was trying to do. Sherry couldn't help but noticed how tight Carlos was holding on to Rebecca's hand. Or it could have been vice versa. She smiled inwardly at the two insane lovebirds. They finally had a baby bird on the way to their nest.
Author's Note: Hey, I got this one up quick. I liked this chapter because it was something new. Jumping from scene to scene but they all connected. Now people who wanted to know about Becca's baby, are you happy? But I plan on doing something. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and wanna see a review from you. They keep me alive. Ha Ha Ha. Anyway, this story is far from over. And I don't think that will be a problem. Will it? Until next time.
