Chapter 8: More Problems

(Two months Later)

Jamie sat on the lawn of the huge mansion he had bought originally for Coop and Kiva. Debbie (Miss Francis) had suggested nearly two months ago that instead of selling the mansion, he should make it into a physical therapy centre for persons recovering or disabled as a result of car or any other accidents. It was genius! Barely a week after opening and advertising, it had persons coming from all around. Jamie soon had more than enough money to pay off most of his debt and was able to lessen the time he had to work at his new cursed job by half. He was definitely happier now than he usually was.

"Penny for your thoughts?" a voice asked and Jamie jumped, "it's only me silly."

Jamie laughed when he realized that it was Debbie Francis, his new girlfriend.

"Hey Deb," Jamie said as she sat next to him, "how have you been?" he asked.

"Well I now live in a mansion, have a fabulous boyfriend, and help around here as well as at the hospital," Debbie listed, "pretty tiring," she said with a fake yawn.

"Hey!" Jamie cried.

"Just teasing," Debbie said and gave him a playful shove, "I saw Coop today," she said and Jamie's face became hardened, "he's recovering well and ummm."

"Ummm what?" Jamie asked coldly.

"He wants to see you," Debbie said in a small voice, "I told him yes," she added.

"You did what!" Jamie exploded, "I've been staying away unless I contact them by phone for a good reason," he told her harshly, "how could you say yes?" he demanded.

"They feel really bad Jamie," Debbie said desperately, "they just want to talk to you," she coaxed.

"About how smart I am, I bet," Jamie muttered.

"Don't be like that Jamie," Debbie said with disappointment.

"Hey," Jamie said firmly, "don't go Kiva on me," he added.

"Excuse me!" Debbie exploded, "go Kiva?" she demanded angrily.

"I didn't mean it that way!" Jamie cried as Debbie rose to her feet, "I'm sorry!"

"Sorry is for the birds!" Debbie spat and stormed off.

All Jamie could do was watch his five foot six (inches) girlfriend storm off angrily. Her light brown her blew wildly behind her as the sun shone on her tanned Caucasian skin while she was in her pink blouse, white pleated skirt and pink flip-flops.

Oh Shit! Now I'm going to have to see Coop now. That's the only thing that will stop her from being this mad at me. Women. (Jamie's thoughts)

(2 Hours Later at 1pm)

Jamieentered the hospital and headed straight for Coop's room. But when he stepped in he noticed that someone else was in it. Kiva was sprawled out on the ground unconscious.

Jamie ran to her and checked her pulse. It was pretty weak.

"Doctor!" Jamie cried and soon a doctor passing by entered, "she needs medical attention!" he shouted and the doctor gasped upon seeing Kiva, "get some help and stop catching flies!" he cried and the doctor nodded and hurried to get more help.

"Kiva I'm so sorry," Jamie whispered as he propped her head into his lap and rocked her gently, "please be okay," he begged.

Soon several doctors hurried in and Kiva was soon placed on a stretcher and taken in the direction of ICU.

Jamie sat in the room with his head in his hands. Half an hour later Coop returned.

"You," Coop said hatefully and Jamie looked up, "this is all your fault."

"What?" Jamie asked in a hoarse whisper.

"Kiva's been stressed out because you've been so angry at us!" Coop exploded, "now she's in the ICU along with the baby!" he shouted.

"The baby?" Jamie asked his thoughts still flustered over finding Kiva unconscious, "Oh God," he said in realization, "is the baby going to be alright?" he asked urgently.

"For your sake," Coop said slowly, "you better pray nothing bad happens," he snarled, "are you still by the door Nurse Betty?" he asked.

"Yes," Nurse Betty responded.

"Please escort Jamie out for me?" Coop asked formally.

"With pleasure," Nurse Betty said and entered the room, "get out!" she screamed angrily at Jamie.

Jamie simply nodded and obeyed.
