Greg's mood since his grandmother died was unbearable. Jing-Mei could barely stand it. She understood his pain, but she wanted him to snap out of it. She wanted her husband back and she wanted his help raisin their child together.

"Let's go wake daddy up, baby girl." Jing-Mei kissed Portia's cheek and walked into the bedroom. Greg was curled up in a little ball asleep. She smiled softly. "Daddy, wake up."

"I'm tired." He muttered. Jing-Mei lay Portia next to Greg.

"Someone misses you." She said. Greg opened his eyes and looked at Portia. A small smile came across Greg's face.

"I love you PJ." He said.

"I love you too, Daddy." Jing-Mei said in a squeaky voice. Greg chuckled and sat up. "Are you going to join us now?"

"Yeah." He rubbed his face, "I'm sorry, Jing-Mei." She smiled softly at him.

"There's no reason to be sorry, Greg. You've been grieving. We understand that." Jing-Mei said patting his back.

"No. I shouldn't have shut my self off from my family." He said sliding out of bed. "I owe you."

"No you don't. I'm just glad to see you're out of bed." She got up. Greg kissed Portia.

"I wouldn't mind going back to bed as long as you come along with me, Baby." Greg winked. Jing-Mei laughed.

"No." She said walking in front of him. Greg couldn't help but to look at her rear. He really did hit the nail on the head with her.

Jing-Mei groaned as she fell back against the mattress. God, sex with Gregory was always so wonderful. It made her body sing. Greg chuckled softly.

"How are you feeling?" He asked looking at her. She panted.

"Ooooh. I'm just utterly wonderful and awesome." She said stretching out on her bed. Greg smiled kissing her stomach.

"I live to please you." He said. Jing-Mei's body shuddered again.

"Thank you." She said as she sat up. "I love you, Baby."

"I love you too." Greg said sliding out of bed, "What do you want to eat?"

"Lobster and shrimp." She said. Greg chuckled.

"How about I surprise you?" He suggested. Jing-Mei nodded.

"I like the sound of that." She smiled softly. Boy, was she lucky. She heard so many women complain about their husbands and how they never did anything. Greg wasn't like one of those. He was fantastic.

Greg moved sluggishly. Portia had been up all night with a fever and he had gotten called in. He had one hour of sleep.

"Pratt, Joanie is complaining of bats in her hair." Sam smiled.

"Did you call phsyc?" He asked Sam shook her head. "Well, could you?"

"I suppose so." Sam said walking off. Greg chuckled softly.

"Thank you." He said signing Joanie's chart.
"Greg!" Jing-Mei walked in bouncing a screaming Portia on her hip.

"What happened?" Greg asked walking over to her.
"She's burning up." Jing-Mei said, "it was 105 when I last checked it."

"Shit." Greg grumbled. He grabbed his daughter and went into curtain four. "Shhh, PJ. Daddy is here now."

"Need help?" Sam asked. Greg nodded.

"Let's run a line in and try to break this fever." He stripped his daughter down to her diaper. His heart was pounding and he grabbed the needle from Sam. he wasn't letting some nurse give his daughter fluids.

Greg held his daughter in his arms. She looked so sweet asleep in his arms. Jing-Mei stood in the doorway watching them.

"She's amazing isn't she?" She asked.

"Yes, she is." Greg said, "I'm just glad her fever is broke."

"I wish I didn't freak out." She chuckled sitting next to them.

"I probably would have freaked out if I was home alone with her too." He said to his wife. Jing-Mei reached out caressing Portia's leg.

"She's still so tiny." She said.

"She'll be three months tomorrow." Greg said. Jing-Mei sighed.

"She's getting too big." She said. It was true. These few months have flown by.

"It's not a sad event though." Greg said, "knowing I was raising such a wonderful child and getting her ready to go out into the world...I'm enjoying this." Jing-Mei nodded slowly.

"I am too." She said kissing Portia's forehead. Going out into the world. God, that was a terrifying thought. For Jing-Mei, she could only take one thing at a time. She couldn't look that far into the future.
