They walked out and found Taylor asleep on the couch. Jimmy gently picked her up and took her into their bedroom. He turned off the phone in the bedroom while Leah covered her with a blanket. They closed the door when they left.
"So do you have everything packed for the move?" He asked as he made coffee.
"Yeah I guess so. I didn't come with too much stuff." She smiled at him.
"True." He smiled back at him.
"Did you remember to take your medicine?" She asked as she wrapped her arms around him.
"Yes I did." He then kissed her.
There was a knock at the door. Jimmy opened it up and got the food. They sat down. Leah went to get up to get Taylor but Jimmy told her to let her sleep.
"Leah I need to discuss something with you."
"Sure." She said uncovering their dinner.
"Just hear me out before you say anything. I thought about this and thought about it real hard. I want to keep the trailer for business purposes only. I'm going to keep the business running for about another five years. This would make me about 43 years old. Then I could sell it. What do you think?"
She looked at him and said, "I never wanted you to sell the trailer, let alone get rid of your business. Maybe on the weekends I can help you with your business. Take calls from clients; buy surveillance equipment and other things that you may need. I can also do your books, run to the bank."
"That sounds good and all but what will you do with the baby?"
"I can bring him or her here with me or maybe dad can watch the baby for an hour." She said looking at him.
Finally moving day came…...
Leah woke early, she tip toed into the kitchen and put on a pot of coffee, as she took her cup out of the cupboard she dropped it.
"Hell." She said quietly trying not to wake Tay, but it was too late, she walked in smiling and already fully dressed.
"Hey you. What are you doing up and about so early?"
"I couldn't sleep. I think it was because I slept so much yesterday. Are you excited yet, this is after all your last morning living here?" She asked Leah.
"Yeah I think I am. I must admit it will be nice to have a lot of space for once, you don't realize just how lucky you are until you live in a trailer." She told Tay.
"I don't know. I think there is something so romantic about it myself." She laughed.
"Well I suppose if you see it that way, you could be right." She smiled back.
"Good morning ladies." Jimmy said coming out of the bedroom. "And how are we both this fine day."
"You're happy aren't you?" Leah asked.
"Yes I am. These are the last few hours in this dump; the thought of not having another winter here is great." He laughed.
"You've had too much sun Jimmy." Tay said to him.
"Nope. I am a happy man. I have a beautiful wife and a very attractive sister in law, what more could a man need? How about I take you ladies out for breakfast?" He asked them.
"Sure!" Taylor said excitedly. "I would love that."
"Leah how about you? Are you coming?"
"Well, you're not leaving me behind are you?" She asked him.
Fifteen minutes later they were seated in their favorite restaurant. The Sand Castle.
"So what will you behaving?" Tina their waitress asked.
Jimmy ordered his usual and Taylor had the same. Leah wanted an order of sausage bacon and eggs, followed by a bowl of Rice Krispies and ending in a bagel and cream cheese.
"My god Leah are you hungry or something?" Tay asked her.
"I am starving!" She laughed.
"She'll never eat it all."
"I will." Leah nodded laughing. "Oh I forgot and could I have some coffee with extra cream. Thanks."
Tina smiled at Leah. Remembering all too well what it was like being pregnant herself. Jimmy just sat and laughed and decided to have a bet with Taylor just to see how much Leah would eat. Breakfast came, and so did Leah's first course and her second.
"Leah, you are going to be so sick later."
"No I won't really." She told her.
"I'll wait outside for you." She said standing up and walking away.
Jimmy started to laugh.
"What?" Leah asked.
"Nothing honey. Just get a move on we have loads still to do."
"Ok don't rush me." She said trying so hard not to smile at him with a mouth full of bagel.
Tay sat on a wall over looking the ocean, she really enjoyed being here, and told herself when she was rich and famous she was going to buy herself a nice big beach house with views just like this. It had to be one of the beautifullest places on earth.
"Taylor are you ready!" Jimmy shouted.
She jumped off the wall and walked towards her sister and Jimmy.
"Leah what time are the movers coming tomorrow?" Jimmy asked her.
"About 11:00am. Why?" She asked.
"Rocky wants to take us all out for dinner tonight. Will you be up to it?"
"Of course. I'll be starved by then." She laughed.
"Did we forget about feeding time at the zoo?" Tay teased her.
"Oh yes, well it is for two." She replied.
"Yes two humans. Not Elephants." Tay told her.
Everyone laughed including Leah. She was really going to miss Taylor when she returns to New York. She had promised herself she would not think about it until that day had come and here she was going over it again in her mind.
The moving men arrived the next day on time and started to pack every thing into the truck, suddenly Leah felt sad at having to leave this her home for the past few months, she and Jimmy had been so happy here.
"Ready honey?" Jimmy asked breaking through her thoughts.
"Give me a minute Jimmy will you?" She asked.
"Sure honey."
She sat down on the worn couch and thought back to the last 12 months. The happiest and saddest days of her life, but thankfully she had Jimmy, just as she was about to leave, she saw some popcorn on the floor. Picking it up she laughed to herself and thought back to last night.
FLASHBACK
As soon as they had finished packing, Jimmy suggested they all take a walk.
"Sure. We are all but done now, just a light bit of cleaning that's all. Coming Tay?" She asked.
"No you two go. I am going to stay here with Rocky. Enjoy yourselves." She said.
"Do you know honey, I have lived here for so long, and I think I might miss this place some." Jimmy said.
"I know what you mean. Do you remember those rocks over there?" She said pointing to them.
"Of course I do." He smiled at her.
"What about when the cop found us making out. Hahahaha your face was so funny. She said laughing as they walked towards the rocks again.
"Leah how about a repeat performance, no one is around." He said pulling her down on to the sand.
"Jimmy no! Anyone could come along." She said, but also thinking what a good idea.
"Just a kiss then." He said holding her in his arms.
"Now that I can do." She told him.
Jimmy sat with his back against the rocks with Leah between his legs, neither of them spoke, they didn't need to, they both just sat looking out to the ocean, the sun was just beginning to set, and the sky was a pretty shade of pink. A few seagulls had landed very close to where they were, close to the waters edge a lone fisherman cast his fishing pole into the waves.
"Jimmy, will you teach me to fish one day?" She asked.
"Do you really want to learn?" He asked her.
"Yes, I think I do. But I am not going to put those disgusting wigglie worms on the hooks. You will have to do it."
Jimmy sat laughing at her.
"Those wigglie worms are the bait Leah, you need them to catch the fish." He laughed.
"I'll tell you what. As soon as we are settled into the new house I will take you fishing up at the cabin. How do you feel about that?" He asked looking at her.
"I would love that." She smiled up at him.
Jimmy looked at her, he realized he was one of the luckiest men alive. Not only was she beautiful and intelligent, she was his soul mate, he had never realized just how much he had loved her, until it was almost too late. He squeezed her tightly and kissed her neck.
"What's that for?" She asked him.
"Because I love you." He told her.
"I love you too." She smiled at him.
She really did look so beautiful, not a day went by when he didn't pinch himself, just to make sure he was not dreaming.
"Come on." He said holding out his hand to help her. "Let the tough strong man help you." He said pulling her to him.
"Come on then you can carry me, seeing as you feel so strong." She said raising her arms; never for a second did she believe he would lift her. But he did. She giggled in his arms as he walked through the side to the sidewalk, the few people who were still on the beach stood laughing at them, and as they went past. Jimmy heard clapping. He placed Leah gently down and then bowed to his audience; Leah stood watching him smiling to herself as she watched him.
"Come on!" She laughed. "We better get back Tay and Rocky will wonder where we are." She told him. They held hands and walked a nice steady pace back to the trailer, where they found Taylor and Rocky engrossed in a game of blackjack.
"Taylor Jennifer Reynolds, since when have you been into gambling?" Leah asked as she entered the trailer.
"Oh don't worry we're using popcorn that's all." She said.
"Well you don't seem to be having much luck." Jimmy said looking over her shoulder.
"That's because she is eating it all." Rocky laughed.
After the game they all headed over to Romano's Italian restaurant. After dinner they all headed back to the trailer for coffee and dessert.
"Come on honey are you ready yet?" Jimmy said once again breaking into her thoughts.
"Yes, I'm ready now." She said as she left the trailer, Jimmy closed the door and locked it, putting the keys into his pocket. He turned and saw Leah standing there, she looked so sad all of a sudden.
"Honey you ok?" He asked her.
"Yeah, just my hormones, come on lets go." She said changing the subject.
Later that day…..
"Jimmy!"
"Yeah." He called from the living room.
"Where's the coffee maker?"
"It's in the box marked coffee maker." He said walking into the kitchen.
"Ok found it." She smiled at him.
She bent over to take it out of the box. When she got up she received a hard kick from the baby.
"Hey! What was that for?" She asked rubbing her stomach.
"What happened?" Jimmy asked walking over to her.
"The baby kicked me really hard." She said looking at him.
The baby kicked her again.
"There it goes again!" She laughed.
She grabbed his hand and placed it on her stomach. He didn't feel anything. He went to take his hand away when the baby kicked it.
"Wow! That's some kick." He laughed.
"What's keeping you two?" Rocky asked coming into the kitchen with Taylor.
"The baby is kicking dad." Jimmy said looking at him.
"Can I feel Leah?" Rocky asked.
"Me too!" Taylor asked excitedly.
"Sure." She smiled at them.
The baby kicked them. They all laughed.
"How about we order take out rather than going out?" Jimmy asked everyone.
They all nodded so it was decided.
"Tay want to come with me to check out the local take out?" Jimmy asked her.
"Sure."
A while later they return with the most wonderful aroma of food Leah had smelled.
"Oh that smells so delicious." She told them.
"We brought plenty back." Taylor said.
"I am starving!" Leah said smiling at her sister.
"I said she would say that didn't I?" She said turning to Jimmy, who was taking $10.00 from his pocket and handing it to her.
After the coffee and dessert Rocky left and Taylor headed up to bed. Leah then walked out onto the patio and sat down. The cool night air blew on her.
"Nice place."
"Thanks." She smiled.
"How are you feeling?"
"Tired."
"I won't keep you then."
"Can't you just stay a little longer? I miss you so much."
"I'll be back. Look after Taylor."
"I will. Do you visit her?"
"In her dreams. I'll see you later." Her father kissed her on the cheek and then left.
"Here you go." Jimmy said covering her shoulders with a sweater.
"Thanks." She smiled at him.
"You ok?"
"Yeah just tired." She said looking up at him.
"Then let's go to bed." He gently helped her up.
The next day Leah and Taylor cleaned the house while Jimmy was unpacking the heavy stuff.
"Tay."
"Yeah?"
"How about moving out here and finishing high school here?" Leah asked looking at her.
Taylor sat down and said, "I would love to but I can't. I have all my friends there and plus when I get back I have an audition to do. Then there's Frankie's prom and other school stuff."
"Ok." Leah said sitting down next to her.
"Leah I'll be back for all the holidays." Taylor said leaning on her.
"Sure." Leah said getting up and walking out to the patio.
Taylor just sat there.
"Everything ok?" Jimmy asked coming out of the kitchen.
"Yeah. No. I don't know. I think Leah is mad at me." She said looking at him.
"Why would she be?" Jimmy asked.
"Lee asked me to move out here and I turned her down." She said.
"Let me talk to her." He said walking out back.
Leah was sitting outside crying.
"Honey you ok?" Jimmy asked sitting next to her.
She shook her head yes.
He looked at her and asked, "Then why are you crying?"
"It's just that I miss my dad and when Tay goes home I'm going to miss her." She said wiping her eyes.
"I know honey. I know. I'm going to miss her too. Maybe when she's done with school maybe she'll come out here." He said hugging her.
"Yeah maybe." She got up and walked inside.
He followed her inside. The girls finished cleaning and took a break to go curtain shopping.
"Tay I need to say something to you." Leah said.
"What have I done now?" She asked.
"Nothing. Taylor I just need to explain something to you. Do you mind if we go for coffee and sit and talk?" She asked.
"Sure. That would be great."
A few minutes later the girls were sitting outside of a water front café, both drinking large cups of cappuccinos, Taylor leaned forward to speak to Leah.
"Ok Leah, what so very wrong?" She asked.
"Look I will come out with it, but please hear me out first, let me say all I have to before you say anything to me."
"Ok, I am all ears." Taylor joked.
"Tay, I want you to stay here with me, I need you to stay. I am so scared I am going to lose you as well as dad. I know I have Jimmy and Rocky but I need you too. Please Tay. With our money we could buy a production company for you. You can make all the films you like. It will be under your total control. Before you say anything, I know you really want to come and live here. Go to school here. Learn all you can, for god sake Tay this is the capital of the film industry! Hollywood is 10 seconds away, Frankie can come too. Who knows maybe he would like to help Jimmy, it would be Jimmy's chance to teach someone his profession. I know he would love it here.'' She finished her speech and looked down at the floor.
"Leah, I didn't know how much you were hurting. I can't answer for Frankie you know that, and until we speak to each other I don't want to make any rash decisions, please give me just a few hours, that's all I ask."
"Thanks Tay. I am so sorry I had to tell you, but I couldn't hide it from you any more, it's tearing me up inside, I promised Jimmy I wouldn't say anything, but I needed to. Do you think I am being selfish Tay?"
"No Leah. There is only me and you left in our family, we can't count on mom, who knows where she is one week from the next, but I love you, and I don't want to see you sad. You're right it is a good life out here, I don't doubt that, but I have so much I need to consider first, do you understand?" She asked.
"Yes. I feel so much better having finally told you just how I feel." She said smiling at her younger sister.
"Come on we have more shopping to do, we have money to spend." Tay said excitedly.
The two sisters spent the rest of the afternoon going from one shop to another. By the end of it all they were exhausted.
"Let's go home." Leah said.
"Please! I am so exhausted!" Taylor said.
Leah laughed.
Both girls jumped into the car and enjoyed the ride home; laughing about the crazy things each had done over the years.
Later that evening…..
"Frankie it's me." Taylor said calling her love interest.
"Hi Tay! How are you? When are coming home? I miss you so much." He told her.
"Look Frankie. Do you fancy a vacation at short notice? I mean like come now! The tickets are at JFK waiting for you?"
"What? Are you serious? Me come there now?" He asked shocked.
"Yes! I need to talk to you. Together face to face."
"I don't know what to say Tay. Boy you are full of surprises."
"Just say your coming. That's all I ask." By now she was thinking of starting to beg.
"Look I need to clear it with my folks first. Sure I would love to come. What time is the flight?" He asked.
"45 minutes! So you better get a move on." She laughed.
"Ok babe. What do I need to do?"
"Just get your ass on the plane! Don't worry about clothes, just come. I will meet you at LAX, when you land."
"Right! See you soon then. Oh and Tay… I love you babe." He said feeling happy.
"Yes I know. See you later." She said hanging up laughing.
Taylor climbed into bed and set her alarm to wake her in five hours. She had called for a cab, and now all she needed to do was get some sleep. She was so excited at the thought of seeing Frankie. She fell straight to sleep thinking of him and in no time at all the alarm was ringing. She jumped from the bed, dressed quickly and tip toed down the stairs, as so not to wake Leah or Jimmy. She wanted to surprise them both later. Leaving a note in the kitchen saying she had gone for a walk she left the house as quietly as she could.
"Wow! It's cold." She thought as she got into the cab. The journey to the airport was done in silence. She arrived with 15 minutes to spare. She sat by the terminal waiting to see Frankie as he came through arrivals, she didn't need to wait long, the flight had arrived early and he ran to her.
"Tay! God! Look at you! You look so sophisticated!" He said smiling down at her.
"Thanks! Frankie I have missed you so very much! I love you too." She laughed.
"Good! Now come on what's so urgent that I had to come on over here in the middle of the night?"
"Let's find somewhere to sit and have some breakfast and we can talk."
They left the arrivals lounge and found one of the breakfast bars just opening. They went in and grabbed something to eat and found a table to sit down at.
"Frankie, have you ever thought about what we should do when we left school?"
"Sure you know I have. Why?"
"Would you ever consider moving here, for good I mean, with me?"
"Of course I would. What's wrong Tay?" He asked with rising concern.
Taylor started to tell him all about Leah and her concerns as well as her own, she finished off by telling him what Leah had suggested. He sat for a few minutes and then started to talk.
"Wow! What can I say Tay? I would go to the end of the world and back for you, but do you want to do this for you or Leah?"
"At first I would have said Leah, but now I have had a chance to really think about it. I can honestly say I want to do it as well."
"Really, are you sure?"
"Yes, I am Frankie."
"You do know you will have to give up the soap before you even started." He said to her.
"Well not really. Here's the deal. I'm going back to do the soap for the whole month of September. I'll have a tutor on the set to keep me up to date with my studies. When my part is over I'll go back to regular school with you until June. Then after you graduate we can head back out here. I'll enroll for my senior year at Malibu High and you can enroll at whatever college you want. What do you think Frankie? Would you come out here too with me?"
"I'm here already Tay. I'm here." Taylor screamed with delight at his answer and in front of the now rapidly filling up restaurant she kissed Frankie.
They then got up and headed back to Leah and Jimmy's house. They quietly walked in as to not wake up everyone but it was too late Jimmy was up.
"Frankie? What a pleasant surprise." Jimmy said as Taylor walked through the door with him.
"Hi. How you doing Jimmy?" He asked shaking his hand.
"Good and you?"
"Fine thanks. Where's Leah?" He asked.
"In the kitchen. She'll be happy to see you." Jimmy said pointing the way.
"Frankie! My god! What are you doing here?" Leah asked as shocked as Jimmy was.
Suddenly she thought he had come to escort Tay home at the end of the week.
"Me? Well I missed Tay and you guys. So here I am." He laughed.
"Let's get you both some breakfast." Jimmy offered.
"No that's ok Jimmy we ate already." Taylor said still holding onto Frankie's hand.
"Oh ok then, come on sit down." Leah said.
Taylor spoke first; she had already prepped Frankie at what should be said and what shouldn't be.
"Leah. Jimmy. I have something I need to tell you both." Jimmy sat down hard thinking the worst.
"Ok Taylor. What's wrong?" He said leaning towards Leah.
"Jimmy. Lee. I am going to relocate myself and I need your blessing before I do it." She started.
"Sure sweetie. But what do you mean?" Jimmy asked.
"Jimmy. Frankie and I want to come and live here. Not necessarily in this house, but we have decided we want to move to L.A."
"You what? What brought this on?" Jimmy asked looking from Taylor to Leah.
"It's just a few things Jimmy. I started to think about leaving here. Then Leah and you. And soon the baby. I want to stay. If you'll have me, oh and Frankie." She laughed.
"Tay. Both you and Frankie are always welcome here. Our home is your home too, but are you sure this is your decision and not your sister's. Are you doing this for you, and not her?" He asked concerned.
"Jimmy. We have thought about this long and hard, and I won't make any decisions without consulting Frankie first. We both want to be here together with you and Lee."
"Well you and Frankie are more than welcome any day anytime." Jimmy said crossing over to her.
"Good! I have also decided to get myself a really good agent out here. Let them do all the work. He or she will be paid well enough for it." She laughed.
"But what about the soap you got a role in?" Leah asked.
"I'm going home to do it. After the part is over I'll finish junior year and Frankie and I will head out here after Frankie graduates." She said.
"Well you have made your mind up alright. Will you continue your education here?"
"Yes, I shall." She said.
"Well Frankie what about you? What do you want to do?"
"I have some idea's Jimmy. I thought we could go for a beer later and talk. I could do with some advice really."
"Sure I would love to, but its beer for me and I think you best stick to soda." He laughed.
Taylor was going to go back home do her stint in the soap and finish junior year home and then come back to LA to live and graduate while Frankie goes to college.
That Friday Tay dropped Frankie off at the airport.
As the weeks past Jimmy, Leah and Tay settled into the house, slowly they all made their marks on it. But the room which each one had enjoyed doing the most was the baby's room. Rocky shocked them all by hand making a beautiful crib made of the finest pine you could ever wish to have. Leah made the baby's curtains and matching quilts. While Taylor showed an artistic side to herself by drawing and painting the sweetest mural ever to be seen this side of the West Coast.
The hours turned into days, which in turn became days and weeks. Tay had returned home to start her role in the soap, only to find out that her part would only now be for two weeks. Leah sat and waited for the baby to come.
"Leah."
"In the nursery Jimmy."
He went into the nursery and told her that Taylor was on the phone. He handed her the phone.
"Hey Tay. What's up?….They cut your part? Why?….Because they wanted to? That sucks…..Listen don't worry about it. I'm sure there will be other parts….Tom is looking into work out here for you? Fantastic!….Feeling good. Can't wait until the baby comes…Yeah Jimmy can't wait either….Ok talk to you soon…Love and miss you too. Bye."
She hung up the phone and went down stairs to see what Jimmy was up to.
"Hi handsome." She smiled at him.
"Hi honey. How's Tay?"
"Ok. The director cut her part back." She said sitting down.
"Really? Why?" Jimmy said looking at her.
"Because he wanted too. Tay says she's ok with it, but I know she's not. I can hear it in her voice. But Tom said he's looking into something for her out here."
"That's good. Now how about some dinner." He said getting up.
"Sounds good to me." She smiled at him as he helped her up.
After dinner Rocky, Peggy and Dennis came over for coffee and dessert.
"Leah you look absolutely beautiful." Peggy said hugging her as she and Dennis came in.
"Thanks." She smiled back at them.
"So when is the baby due?" Dennis asked.
"Soon." She said patting her stomach.
Everyone laughed. She went into the kitchen to get the coffee when she felt a sharp pain in her lower back. She stopped pouring the coffee and rubbed the lower back. She went to pick up the coffeepot again when the pain shot across her lower back again. She again put down the coffeepot and grabbed the side of the counter hard. She decided to try and walk off the pain when all of the sudden she yelled for Jimmy.
"Jimmy! Come in here quick!"
He came in and so did everyone else.
"What's wrong?" He asked looking at her standing there.
"The baby is coming." She said.
"What? Now?"
"Yes."
She went to move forward when all of the sudden her water broke.
"Ok nobody panic. Let's see if we can get her to the car." Dennis said.
As Dennis and Jimmy were helping her, the contracts were coming on strong.
"Jimmy we have to leave now!" She said looking at him.
"Ok."
He and Dennis put her into Dennis' car and sped away to the hospital.
"Faster Dennis! Faster!" She said as the contracts were getting stronger and stronger.
Jimmy sat next to her helping her breath.
She then looked at him and said, "Jimmy I'm scared."
"Its ok honey I'm here. I'm right here." He said holding onto her.
Dennis pulled up to the hospital, got out and went and got a nurse and a wheelchair for her. The nurse quickly wheeled her into a free delivery room while Jimmy and Dennis went into the admissions office. Ten minutes later Jimmy was by her side. The doctor examined her and advised her that its time to push. She pushed and pushed with all her might. By 8pm she delivered an 8 pound 10 ounce 21 inches long baby girl. When Jimmy heard it was a girl he was so excited that when he went to sit down he missed the chair and fell on his butt.
"Glad you didn't have the baby in your arms." Leah laughed at him.
"Do you have a name for her?" The nurse asked.
"Yes. Charlotte Katherine Rockford." Jimmy said with a smile.
The nurse then came over with the baby and Leah advised her to let Jimmy hold her. Jimmy and Leah looked her over and counted her fingers and toes.
"All there." Jimmy smiled at Leah.
"She's so beautiful Jimmy." Leah said looking at Charlotte.
"Just like her mom." He then kissed Leah.
The nurse advised Leah that her room was ready.
"Oh great thanks." She said.
Ten minutes later the nurse moved Leah into her room while the other nurse and Jimmy took Charlotte to the nursery. When they arrived they saw Rocky, Peggy and Dennis at the nursery window. The nurse allowed them all a fast peek before she wheeled the baby in.
"Oh Jimmy. She is so beautiful." Peggy said hugging him.
"She is sonny." Rocky said smiling.
"Yeah Jimbo you and Leah did good." Dennis said patting him on the back.
"Thanks everyone." He smiled looking in the nursery at her.
They all then went to Leah's room to see how she was. When they got there they found her talking to Angel and Beth.
"Leah. I'm going to go to the nursery and see her." Beth said as she got up.
"Ok sure." She smiled and hugged Beth.
"Angel you go too." She said looking at him.
"Why don't we all go?" Rocky said to them.
So off went Rocky, Beth and Angel to see Charlotte. Leah then picked up the phone and called Patty. Patty told Leah that she'd come by the hospital to see her and the baby.
"Leah. Jimmy. Peggy and I are going to leave so you can rest up. We'll be by tomorrow." Dennis said as they got up.
"Oh ok." Leah smiled at them.
They then left.
"Honey what do you think about having Dennis and Taylor as Godparents to Charlotte?" He asked sitting on her bed.
"That would be great." She said looking at him.
"Good. Then we'll tell them when we see them." He said looking at her.
"Them? Jimmy. Taylor is in New York." She said looking at him.
He looked at her and smile. Then he said, "She should be out here oh I say in about two hours."
"You're kidding. Right?"
"Nope. I called her when they brought you to the room here." He smiled at her.
"Oh Jimmy. That was so nice of you. You know that's what I love about you." She said kissing him.
"Yeah I know." He laughed kissing her back.
She went to kiss him again when Rocky, Beth and Angel came in on them.
"Hi." Rocky said smiling.
"Hey dad."
"I'm heading home. It's been a long day." Beth said to them.
"Bye Beth." Leah said hugging her.
"Bye." She smiled at her.
As Beth was about to leave she pulled Jimmy aside and spoke to him.
"Leah the baby is beautiful. Just like her mom."
"Thanks Angel." She hugged him.
"Well 'grandpa' here is leaving too. See you in the morning." Rocky said leaving.
"Oh dad do you have to leave?" Leah asked.
"Yes sweetie. It's late and this old man needs his rest." He said kissing her goodnight.
"Ok. Bye." She said hugging him.
After everyone left again Jimmy came over and sat with her.
"So what were you and Beth talking about?" She asked looking at him.
"She told me that she has something for Charlotte and she thinks that Charlotte is adorable." He smiled at her.
"Oh she didn't have to get her anything." Leah said looking at him.
"Well she wanted too." He said hugging her.
"Jimmy."
"Yeah."
"Are you going to leave too?"
He looked at her and noticed she looked upset.
"Not if you want me too." He said.
"No I don't want you to leave. I want you to stay here with me." She said looking at him.
The nurse then came in and asked him to leave as visiting hours was over. He walked over to the nurse and asked if he can stay with Leah.
"Mr. Rockford if it was up to me I wouldn't care but hospital rules say that you can't stay."
The nurse looked over at Leah and then looked at Jimmy and said, "Since your wife reminds me of my daughter you can." She smiled at him.
"Thanks. We'll be quiet." He smiled back at her.
"You two better be." She laughed leaving the room.
"What's so funny?"
"I asked the nurse if I can stay here with you tonight and she said since you remind her of her daughter it will be ok but we have to be quiet."
"Thanks Jimmy. I hope she doesn't get into trouble." Leah said.
