New Additions

Chapter 6- Changes are Made

Steve tried to change his attitude towards Virginia. She actually was not bad at all. What surprised him the most was how amazingly easy she made it look when she sketched. She captured the waves and surfers on the ocean with just a few strokes of her pencil, and Mark hung the pictures on the refrigerator like his beloved wife had done when Steve and Carol were little.

Although Mark had raised a daughter before, he still found that he needed help from a woman. Ellen and Amanda were always eager volunteers. They helped Virginia decorate her room, and took her shopping for clothes one afternoon, about a week after Mark had brought her home. After shopping, they grabbed lunch at the mall's food court. Virginia decided to change into a new outfit for Mark.

She grabbed one of the shopping bags and headed to the restroom. She put on a green tank top, a khaki skirt, and brown clogs. Her belt and headband matched the shoes. When Virginia came out of the stall, she was surprised to see a pretty young girl in the mirror. She looked around and realized that she was gazing at her own reflection. Her hair was wavy from being braided all morning, and her eyes looked even greener than usual. She smiled at herself.

Amanda and Ellen were waiting in the food court with ice cream cones, talking about the babies to come. They had watched a timid, shy girl walk away from them, but the girl who returned was smiling and confident.

At the hospital, they pulled Amanda's CAR into a parking spot next Mark's car, and stashed the shopping bags in the back seat. Amanda watched Virginia smile at the bumper of Jack's car as she walked by.

Mark, Jesse, and Jack were sitting in the doctor's lounge with cups of coffee. Amanda noticed Jack's lab coat.

"Hey, Jack. Are you helping out?"

"For a salary," he retorted.

"You're coming back?" she asked, astonished.

"Five years is just too long to go without solving a homicide," Jack said with a smile, directing this comment at Mark.

"Uh, huh," he said, pulling out a chair for Ellen. "Where's Virginia?"

"Utilizing the soda machine," Ellen replied. Then Virginia came into the room with her Dr. Pepper. Jack stood up.

"Virginia, I want to apologize to you again," he said. Mark, Amanda, Ellen, and Jesse all groaned.

"And I would like to thank you," Virginia began.

"For what?"

"For hitting me with your car, Dr. Stewart. You changed my life. I found a friend and a father, both things that I never imagined I'd have." She smiled and turned to Mark, tears glistening in her eyes. "Hi, Daddy."

Virginia and Mark were both crying while they hugged. Tog give them some privacy, Ellen and Jesse went down to the E.R. Jack stood up to go into the hall, and motioned for Amanda to follow him. He kissed her lightly on the cheek.

"I trained an intern to take over my practice in Colorado. I missed my old life here at Community General. And I missed you." He said.

"Jack, it's not just me," Amanda said after a few minutes. "I have to think about my boys. I can't just do whatever I want to."

"Well, let's take it slowly. How 'bout dinner?"

"You can join us tonight. We have a reservation with Chef Boyardee," Amanda answered with a smile.

"It's a date," Jack said.
