CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
(chapter title – Back to Work)
The six weeks that I took off work flew by quickly. As I kissed little Sara and Owen goodbye, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." I told the person. Justin and April walked in the door.
"Hey Justin! Hi April!" I greeted them.
"Hey Mary! How are you doing?" Justin asked as I led them to the bassinets where Owen and Sara were sleeping.
"They're so cute." Justin told me, carefully picking up Sara and holding her. I nodded and stroked Owen's head. He was starting to look like Mark with each passing day.
"So, you guys know what to do?" I asked, grabbing my purse. Justin reassured me that he knew what to do.
"Thank you guys so much for watching them." I thanked Justin as I headed out the door, nearly running into Mimi.
"Sorry Mary! I just wanna see the babies before I go to work!" she told me, heading into the loft. I smiled and headed to work.

"Mary! It's so good to see you!" Joe greeted me as I signed in.
"It's great to see you, too, Joe!" I smiled and handed him a picture of Mark, Sara, Owen and I the day that the twins came home.
"They're beautiful." He whispered in total awe. I smiled and got to work.
Joe really didn't have much for me to do, so I decided to go to the Life Café and have some lunch there. I was halfway there when my cell phone started ringing. I flipped it open and pressed 'talk'.
"Hello?" I said into the receiver.
"Honey? It's me – I'm afraid I have some bad news – Roger's in the hospital." I felt tears come to my eyes.
"What hospital?" I asked.
"St. James."
"I'll be right there." I hung the phone up and hailed a cab.
"Where to?" the cab driver asked.
"St. James hospital." I told him. He nodded and drove towards the hospital without another word.
