Sharona awoke the next morning to a ringing phone around six o' clock am. "Who the hell's calling this early?" she though to herself and picked up the phone. "Hello Adrian"
"A hello ma'am, may I speak to Sharona Fleming," a voice that was clearly not Monk's asked from the other end of the phone.
"Oh, I'm sorry, this is she," Sharona said a little embarrassed she called the lady Adrian.
"Hi I'm Halley Jennings, your aunt Minn's hospital nurse."
"Oh, is there a problem?" Sharona asked waking up a little more.
"Your aunt is mildly sick. She just had a heart operation, and is very week. She requested you to come out and take care of her. She can't afford a private nurse and you are certified." The English woman spoke carefully.
"For how long?"
"Approximately six months, or until the doctor says she can stay by herself."
"Oh my God," Sharona said smacking herself in the head.
"She has sent you plain tickets in the mail, they should arrive by Thursday," the nurse said and hung up.
"Thursday! Oh God," she thought thinking about nothing but Monk. How was he gonna react to this. The last time she almost left he had a breakdown and complained to her how he was in the "lurch." She sighed. Why do people have to get sick, her life was actually positive for once and now fate had to go and change it all. She walked down her cold, dark hallway into Benjy's room.
"Benjy honey, wake up," she said lightly shaking him.
"Why, what's wrong mom?" he said with his eyes still closed.
"Honey, start packing your stuff, we're leaving Thursday." She said not knowing how to break the news to him. She knew it was not the best way but, it was a way.
"What?" he asked sitting up.
"Aunt Min is sick, and we have to go take care of her for half a year." She said not even want to hear his response.
"We're moving!" He screamed.
"Temporarily, honey, I'm so sorry but she doesn't have enough money to pay for a house nurse. It's only for six months," she said rubbing his back sympathetically. He still said nothing and pouted, "C'mon just pack for now and we'll talk later after you had a chance to think about it"
She shut the door to his room and tried to keep her head on straight. It was all happening so fast, 'Call Adrian' she though and picked up the cordless. It was probably better to tell him over the phone. 'Oh God' she though, 'This is going to be fun.' She pressed memory five and held the phone up to her ear.
"Hello," a sleepy voice answered on the other line.
"Hey, It's me," Sharona said biting her lip.
"So you just wanted to hear my voice?" he asked.
"Ok Adrian, honey, listen to me. I just got a call the my Aunt Min out in New Jersey is sick, and when she comes out of her surgery, me and Benjy have to go stay with her."
"Ok." he said not getting the point.
"We have to go stay with her for six months," she said biting her lip once again.
"What?" there was silence on the both ends of the phone, "You mean.you mean I won't be able to see you for half a year?" he questioned.
"Unfortunately," she said, a small tear escaping her blue eyes.
"Because she doesn't have enough money to hire a personal nurse, and I can transfer my job."
"Then I'll do the same," Monk said thinking he could always solve everything, but not this one.
"Adrian, they need you here in San Francisco," she whispered. He was silent. She was right; she was always right about the negative stuff, "It's only for six months."
"When do you leave?" He asked coldly.
"Friday"
"That soon?"
"I promise, we'll spend all of the next two days together." She sniffled
"Whatever," he said and hung up the phone.
"Bye," Sharona replied. She hung up the phone and broke out in tears. Why did he have to care so much about what was going to happen to him, couldn't her comfort her for a minute. She remembered everything she had to do, and realized, there wasn't any time for crying. *****************************************
