CHAPTER 6

"Hey Christy, guess whatyou have some visitors," Dr. Telesford announced as she walked into the hospital room.

"Oh for real! Who is it?" Christy asked happy and confused at the same time. "Hey kiddo!" T.C said as he walked into the room followed by Chris.

"T.C , Chris you guys came back!" Christy replied happily, running to hug them both. "Yes we did , we promised we would didn't we?" Chris said smiling as T.C scooped up Christy. *jus like a father would* Chris said silently and the thought made her smile even more.

"Yes you did promise" Christy said as she kissed T.C loudly on the cheek. "Whoa what was that for?" he asked totally exasperated by what she just did. "For coming back ." she said as T.C pecked her back on the cheek.

"Hey, hey, hey," Chris said taking a step towards the pair. "Don't worry Chris I won't take him away from you" Christy said smiling, making all four of them laugh.

"I'm not worried. Just wanna know where my share of the love is," she said as she kissed Christy, with Christy kissing her back in reply as TC still held her.

"Thank you." Chris replied. "So what are yall doing here?"

"Well as we said before we came by to see you and also to talk to Dr.Telesford" Chris informed her. "Talk to her about what?" Christy pried. "About you ," T.C said as he put her down.

"Why?" she asked again this time staring into TC and Chris's eyes innocently.

"Cause there's something that we need to talk about." Chris said.

"Something like what?" she asked again.

"My, my, my Christy you sure are full of questions today aren't you?" Dr. Telesford said cutting in seeing that it was seriously needed.

"Just wanna know" Christy replied shrugging.

"I"ll make you a deal," T.C proposed, "If you let us talk with Dr.Telesford,Chris and I would take you out for a little while, if that's okay with the Dr." he finished looking at Chris then Dr.Telesford . "You're the boss," Dr.Telesford replied smiling. " Thanks Tabia!" Christy exclaimed.

"Tabia?" Chris and TC said in unison. "Yea that's what she told me to call her." Christy informed them.

"Oh okay," Chris said shaking her head, "So so we have a deal?"

"Yes we do!" Christy exclaimed hugging them both, "Thank you so much"

"Anytime." TC replied as the tickled her making her laugh our loud, "Go change." he stated when she had finished laughing.

"Why" she asked looking down at the clothes she was wearing. He kneeled down and answered, "Cause it's cold outside and I don't want you freezing your butt off!" he said ruffling her hair an tickled her once again.

Chris watched at the pair that stood before her and just couldn't help but smile at the beautiful sight. She had always wondered how TC would be as a father, and this was a perfect example. He looked so natural with Christy, so much like a dad. It amazed her how attached he seemed to the little girl. It made her really hope that she would was pregnant....

"Chris..Chris" come TC's voice cutting through her thoughts bringing her back to reality. "What were you thinking about?" he asked concern in his voice. "Oh nothing." She replied with a reassuring smile.

"Christy was wondering if she could have pizza," TC said filling her in.

"Oh yea sure. Pizza sounds good." She said.

"Thanks." Christy said. "Welcome, now go change.We'll be rite back."

"You all seem in good spirits back there. Good news?" Tabia asked hopefully

"Actually no. Nothing good. We just need put on a brave face in there for her." TC replied shaking her head. "What ? nothing!" Tabia asked almost exclaiming.

"We located some of her relatives but they are either dead or doesn't want the responsibility of a 5 year old." T.C informed her. "Oh no that's terrible." Tabia said , "She's such a sweet little girl."

"Yea she is and she's going to be put in an orphanage" Chris said sadly, as TC placed a reassuring arm around hand around her waist.

"Has she asked anything about what's going to happen to her. I mean does she understand that her father and her step mother are gone and never coming back?" Chris asked again.

"I don't think she understands..at least not fully. Just last night one of the other nurses said she woke up screaming, and when she went to her she was sweating, and shaking uncontrollably. I asked her about it this morning and she said she just had a bad dream and didn't want to talk about it."

"Ready!" came Christy's loud voice making all three of them jump.

"Hey kid! " TC said just as loud. "I'm ready and I changed my clothes," she said proudly.

"We can see that" TC said smiling. Christy was dressed in oversized jeans and jersey, with a sweater around her waist , sneakers and to top it off a hat that was facing backwards with all her hair bundled underneath it.

"Nice outfit" Chris said laughing "You like it?" she asked beaming.

"Yep absolutely love it. It just says Christy!" Chris replied still smiling. "Thanks." Christy said overjoyed. "Anytime," Chris replied.

Chris felt like she had known Christy for ages. She was an amazing kid. So happy and cheerful even after all that she had gone through in her 5 years.

= = = = = = = = = = = = "What do u want on the pizza?" TC asked Christy looking as they sat at a table in Jim's Pizza Palace .

"Hmmmmm.." Christy thought long and hard.

"Double cheese?" Chris opted "No way. Do u even know if your really getting extra cheese or not?" Christy said.

"You know for a 5 year old. You sure know a lot."

"Uh-huh. Daddy taught me" she said matter-of-factly. "He did a great job," TC commented still looking at the menu, "How about a hawaiian pizza?"

"Okay," Christy said shrugging "With double cheese?" Chris asked hopefully like a 5 year old.

"What is it with you and extra cheese today ?" TC asked .

"Don't know . I'm having a cheese rush ." "Okay babe. Hawaiian with double cheese," TC said remembering that Chris could be pregnant and pregnant women usually have a feel for anything at anytime and also their mood swings and he knew he wouldn't like her to mood swing on him especially in front of Christy.

Pizza arrived and Chris was the first one to 'dig in'. "Yuck!" she said after taking a couple of chews, "Uh- Gross. This is so cheesy." She said after she had placed the contents that was in her mouth in a napkin.

"Excuse me. I need to use the washroom" Chris said excusing herself from the table.

"What's wrong with Chris," Christy asked looking at TC.

He then turned to look at her. You always had to have answers to everything because kids always had questions to everything. "Oh nothing she's just a lil' sick that's all" TC said smiling as he thought he had handled that question quite well.

"With what?"

"Huh?" he wasn't prepared for that one.

"What is she sick with?" Christy repeated "A flu maybe," TC. "Oh okay."

Alright! TC said to himself. I'm pretty good at this thing.

Chris returned a while later. "Are you okay hon?" TC said as he went to help her to her seat.

"Yeah I'm fine," she said sitting down. "Just a little too much cheese."

"But u did ask for double cheese," Christy reminded her.

"Yea I know, but I lost my feeling for it."

"Are you sure you re okay sweetheart?" TC asked again. "I'm fine TC she said through clenched teeth.

"Okay." TC said knowing what this could lead to if he didn't drop it. = = = = = == = = = = = = = == = = == == = = = = == = =

"Hey surf boards. You guys surf. That's so cool." Christy said "The boards belong to TC" Chris answered her.

Chris had decided to stop off at home to pick up the report on the Simpson's murder case that she was working on to drop it off at the firehouse.

"You like surfing?" TC asked smiling. "Yea but I don't really know how.My dad use to teach me but he's not here anymore," she said as she looked at the ground.

"Hey cheer up. If you want I could teach you I little." TC offered as he stooped to eye level with her.

"For real!" Christy exclaimed looking at him.

"Yes Christy. For real." TC assured her.

"Thanks," Christy said hugging him "But..what about your kids?"

"Kids?" TC and Chris said at the same time.

"Yeah, I mean wouldn't they mind if you teach me how to surf I mean yall already took me to get pizza."

"Well Christy we don't have any kids and even if we did have I'm sure they wouldn't have mind."

"You all don't have kids? How come? I mean I just thought with this big house and all."

"Well we really weren't ready to have kids yet." Chris explained. "Oh okay" she said. - - - - - - -- - - - - - --

They all sat in the kitchen. Chris checking over her report , TC looking for something to eat in the fridge and Christy drinking orange juice at the mini bar when she asked, " Chris?"

"Yea" she answered still buried in her report.

"What's going to happen to me?" she asked turning to face Chris

"What do u mean?" Chris asked completing taken aback by the question. She could see TC was too. He had closed the fridge and was now leaning against it studying Christy intently.

"I mean well my dad isn't here anymore, Michel died and I can't stay in the hospital forever. So where I'm I going?"

"Uh- Christy well we..." TC stammered as he took over the situation trying to explain.

"I'm I going to an orphanage?" Christy asked straightforwardly.

"Yes sweetheart you are" Chris answered just as straight which surprised TC.

"When?"

"Well we aren't to sure yet." Chris explained.

"Okay." She answered quietly.

"Okay now finish up your juice it's getting late and we should be getting you back." TC told her.

The drive to the firehouse and then to the hospital was a quiet one which left Chris wondering if she had done the right thing by telling her the truth.

"Hey yall are finally back," Tabia said as she met up with T.C, Chris and Christy, "Had fun?" she asked Christy.

"Yea. It was good." Christy said halfheartedly. Tabia noticed a change in her mood too so she asked, " Just good? If it were really Christy she would be jumping up and down excitedly. Now tell me what's wrong" she asked.

"Nothing," she answered, "Just tired." She said as she entered her room leaving them outside in the hallway.

"What's wrong with Christy?" Tabia asked.

"She asked what was going to happen to her and I told her the truth," Chris answered, " I mean she had to find out sooner or later and she's not a dumb kid she knows what's going on."

"Yea I guess you're right. But what about her heart. Did u tell her about that too?"

"No, we didn't." TC answered.

"Okay. I believe she'll cheer up sooner or later. But I want to thank you all for taking her out. It was very nice of you"

"Yea, no problem. She's an amazing child." TC said smiling.

"Yea she is. So are you all heading home now?" Tabia asked.

"Yea we are." TC answered.

The door to Christy's room opened and she stepped out, "Are you guys leaving now?"

"Yes baby we are." Chris said.

"Thanks.for everything." Christy said. "Hug?" she asked outstretching her arms.

"Oh sweetheart, sure u can." Chris said going to hug her first, followed by Tc.

"Will I ever see you again" she asked and if Chris didn't know any better she would say she saw tears in Christy's eyes.

"Yea. We will try our best to make sure that happens," TC said.

"Okay." Christy said trying her best to put on a brave face. " Bye"

"Bye." TC said " Yea bye Christy."

Okay. That's the longest. Chapter I've ever written. And I know that there are some mistakes. But I'm sleepy right now so excuse me....again. Please right reviews .
