Nick didn't care if she was ready to see him or not.As soon as he found out he left. He went home and pick up their kids, John drove them to the airport. He flew to Verginia. At this point he knew they where in the hospital, so he called about ten diffrent hospitals before he found the right one. They rented a car and drove to the hospital. When they got to the 7th floor Alex begun driving her sisters stroler. Nick asked a nurse to call Dana out.The nurse walked into the room.
"Is there a Dr.Stowe here" she asked
"Yeah he just had a heart attack" Dana's mother answered
"No ma'am I'm looking for a female, someone named Nick is waiting for her outside"
"Can you please tell him, I'll be right there" Dana asked
"Sure" the nurse left the room
"Doctor" her mother repeated "you" She gave her mother 'the look' "Your a doctor" Dana didn't answer. "Didn't you go to Harverd LAW"
"I went to Harverd med.I told youthat I wanted to be a lawyerbut I changed my mind and instead of being a lawyer I became a doctor."
"Dana" her mother whined "How could you not tell someonewho's paiding for your tution, what your learning"
"I did tell someone"
"Air doesn't count, stupid ass" Steve said
"Not air you idiot, I told your daughter"
"Lily, you told lily but not us" her mother was so mad steam was coming out of her ears.
"Why is this a big deal" she asked
"You lied to us"
"I didn't lie, you never asked what I do. And Back then when you did ask I wanted to be a lawyer. So there is not lieing involed" she answered and walked out of the room.She walked into the waiting room accros the hall. He was there. He stood up and walked closer to her.
"Nick, you came"
"Yeah I did.Dana I don't wanna a divorce, I love you" he said. She begun to cry
"I love you too" he put his armes around her and kissed her
"Is your dad okay"
"Yeah, he's awake"she was still in his arms "Nick, I'm really sorry.I over reacted"
"I'm sorry, too.Dana, we aren't perfect."
"I know that it's just all this time we've been hiding behind 'perfection'so we lost touch of reality"
"I think from now on we have spend some time togther or at least with our kids." he said. Dana nodded. Alex had fallen asleep on a chair.Jen was already asleep.
"Can you get me coffe,please" she asked "I wanna talk to Alex" he left the room. She sat next to Alex and brushed her hair away from her eyes.She woke up.
"Hi, honey" she said
"Hi" Alex answered with looking at her
"I missed you"Alex shrugged her shoulders. "Your still mad at me" Alex nodded. "I'm sorry, I should have paid more attention to you, It will never happen again. And if you think that I don't deserve to be called 'mom' you can called me something else"
"Like what.Dana?"
"Yeah.What ever you want.I love you, Alexis and I'm gonna try to be a better mother" Nick came back with a cup of cofee.He gave it to her."thanks" She took a sip and put it down
"Dana" he looked into her blue eyes, she looked into hisand he reached into his pocket. He took out two rings."You want these back" she nodded. "Notice anything diffrent about them"
"You got them inscribed" she smiled and read aloud from the engagment ring "A Daimond is forever" and then she read the inscription in the wedding ring "Like you and I" She handed the rings back to him.He took her left hand and sliped the wedding ring on her finger then he sliped the engagment ring on. His armes where around her waist, her arms where around his neck.He kissed her.Her brother walked in, they didn't notice, and quite frankly they didn't care.He cleared his throat, they broke apart.
"Dad's calling you"
"I'll back as soon as I can, you guys can go get a hotel room or something"she said reafering to Nick
"No, Dad's calling both of you"
"Okay we'll be right there" Nick said. Steve left
"Do you think he knows?"
"Who? Your brother or your father?"
"My father"
"I don't know, let's just go, they have to meet me sooner or later" he took her hand and they walked into the other room.
"Lily can you please watch Alexis for a few minutes" Dana asked. Lily left the room and went accros the hall.She cleared her hair away from her eyes with her left hand, Nick was still holding the right one.
"Dana, what was that" her father asked
"What was what" she asked
"What's on your hand, pea brain" her brother cleared
"Nothing,ass hole" she answered
"On your finger'' her mother said
"My rings"
"Why are they on your left hand, on that finger. It's only suppose to be there if your married" Erza (her father) stated
"I am married" she whispered
"What to who" her mother yelled
"To Nick"
"When did you get married"
"About five years ago, sir" Nick answered
"DANA" her mother whined again "Are you serious,you haven't found time in FIVE years, to tell us you married' her mother yell. Alex ran into the room and pulled on Dana's shirt.She looked down
"Mommy, I'm sorry" Dana pulled her hand away from Nick for a second. She picked Alex up and he took her hand again.
"Mommy" her mother repeated
"It's okay, sweetie."
"I love you too" she wispered in Dana's ear, causing her to smile
"Will you do me a favor and wait for me and daddy in the other room,please" she asked, Alex nodded. She put her down. Nick was holding on to her tightly, he knew something bad was coming.
"You have a kid,nred" her brother asked
"No... I have kids"
"Dana" her mother yelled.
"Mom, stop it. I'm old enough to make my own decitions. Nick and I got married because we love each other, and we weren't planing to have kid that soon, but it happened, and Steve I'mnot the one who teaches math for a living, I think the only nerd here is you"
"Your a math teacher, you told us you where a doctor" Her mother's ears begun to steam again.Her father changed the subject.
"How old are your kids" her father asked calmly
"Alex just turned four and Jen is five months" Nick answered
"First we find out your a doctor, then that your married, and that you have kids, is there anything else we should know"
"You didn't tell them what you do for a living'' Nick asked
"Shut up,Nick, you didn't tell your mother we where married either"
"At least my mother knows what I do for a living, besides, we agreed not to tell my mom, nothing good comes from her"
"You said it" Dana said
"What's that suppose to mean"
"You said "nothing good comes from her" " she reapeated his words with a mimiky tone "babe, hate to brake it to you but,you came ferom her"
"I don't count, my brother does"They completly forgot that her parents where they there they where just working as hard as possible to diss each other. They had smiles on their faces.They haden't been that happy since... Sunday (chapter one)
