It wasn't till two weeks later that Gemma again needed Kip Half-Sack to run and 'errand.' This time though she had news for him when they met for their tête-à-tête, what she had planned though didn't happen.

Clay called him to the office one morning and said Gemma wanted to talk to him. She gave him an order for the local Ralph's a grocery store in town. Fifteen minutes later and he was given leave by Clay to run her errands.

The first thing he noticed when pulling to the drive was her black car but he didn't think of it. Kip grabbed a couple of the bags out of his truck and took off for the house. The door was unlocked and he let himself into the kitchen and set the bags down on the counter, he was almost ready to go back out when he heard the retching.

He found Gemma in the downstairs bathroom leaning over the porcelain god. "What is wrong baby G?" He asked with concern, his hand automatically going to rub her back gently.

"Nothing really," she said. "Maybe it was the breakfast burrito I had this morning."

She was starting to get up then so he asked. "Are you sure?" She nodded and he went on. "Okay I am going to finish unloading the groceries."

He only had two more bags left and when he brought then in again he was greeted with the sound of before. "I'm alright trust me Kip." She said before he even had a chance to say anything after once again finding her in the bathroom.

He knew enough to back off so that is what he did by going to work in the kitchen. An hour later and he came into the living room where she was laying on the sofa her head in her hands. He had a comforter in one along with a steaming cup in the other.

"Here," he said after setting the cup on the coffee table. "Let get this on you." She saw the look on his face and something told her not to argue.

"This is good," she said after he was done and had handed her the cup. "What is it?"

"Sassafras Tea with a bit of honey," he answered.

Later when he was done cooking without telling he brought the plate in on a tray like a waiter. After setting the tray like the tea before on the table he sat down on the floor between her and it, and asked.

"Do you think you are ready to try and eat?" She smiled.

"With something that smells like that I am more than ready." She answered.

He commenced to start feeding her then and she couldn't help but say. "I feel weak," he looked at her.

"I'm not surprised," Kip said and asked. "How long have you been like that?"

She avoided the question and smiled. "I meant weak because you are taking care of me like this." She sighed. "Normally I am the one that takes care of everyone."

"So I am guilty," he said in reply. "But this is I am, so sue me."

"How much would I get?" She asked and then laughed.

"Not much I am afraid," and then he pulled out his pockets while adding. "Right now I am playing rabbit ears."

She busted out laughing then. "Oh you poor man," she said and then her tone changed. "I notice from the records you haven't had a raise since you started working at the garage."

"Yeah," he answered. "But hey beggars can't be choosers right." He started to get up then. "Plus just getting to be a prospect is like a raise to me."

"Well I think you deserve one." Gemma said with finality in her voice before adding. "Besides I run the office and can make sure it happens."

"Oh jeez," Kip said involuntarily then causing Gemma to asked.

"What is wrong?"

"Nothing," he answered. "Just when you said that I had an image cross my mind of you and Clay."

"Oh you don't have to worry about that." Gemma said with a smile as her hand rubbed his back. "He hasn't graced my bed since the morning of. . ."

Kip held up a hand then. "Somehow I think I know when so please don't go there."

"Fair enough," she answered and he got up to take the empty dishes. "Honey," she said when he got back, "I just had an idea."

Ten minutes later he was driving her car and taking her to the hospital. "Have you ever seen Abel?" She was asking and he nodded his head.

"Once," was his reply. "Jax took me with him to the hospital when he had to run an errand."

She could just imagine what the errand was but didn't say anything. Visiting hour was already over with of course, but Gemma had a free pass to N.I.C.U anytime. She was happy someone wasn't around, 'Tara must be off already,' she thought.

The nurse on duty let them in the unit since she knew Gemma. It was feeding time the nurse told Gemma while holding Abel. Gemma smiled then and said.

"Give him to my friend then, I think I have a cold and don't want to take a chance." Gemma had a mask for that precaution.

Kip didn't even flinch as the nurse put the baby in his arms, and Gemma couldn't help but admire they way he handled Abel. Unbeknownst to her though, she wasn't the only one, around in the shadows was Tara.

Before Gemma turned around Jax came limping into the room, he was still feeling the aftereffects from his run in with Kohn at the barbershop that day. "Isn't that Half-Sack?" Tara asked after pulling him into the shadows with her in case Gemma turned around.

"Looks like it," Jax answered and right then the door opened causing Tara to instinctively Jax into another doorway to a room. "You know it has been a long time since we played doctor." Jax said then upon seeing the examining table and then he smiled. "Want to hop up here and I'll check you over."

She couldn't help the slight smile and then wiped it away. "Would you get serious for one," she whispered in case they were still out in the waiting room. "What would he be doing here with your mom?"

Jax shrugged his shoulders then. "I don't know she has been having him run errands here lately." He answered and then smiled. "But you know how she likes to show him off anyway."

Tara looked out into the waiting room then and saw they were in the clear. "You go see your son and I'll meet you in a few." She said to Jax at the doorway.

While Jax was setting in the rocking chair with Abel, Tara was finishing up her duties. "Wasn't that Abel's grandmother earlier?" She asked after running into Betty the nurse who had been in there with her and Kip.

"Yeah," came the answer and Betty asked. "Did I do anything wrong?"

"No," Tara replied. "But why was she wearing a mask?"

"Something about a cold and she didn't want Abel to get it." Betty said and didn't see Tara's eyebrows go up then.

Meanwhile…

Back at the house Gemma was just letting Kip help her into bed. "Whew," she said after collapsing back against the mattress. "I feel so weak for some reason."

"Are you going to be able to make it to the shop tomorrow?" Kip asked while arranging her pillows.

"We'll see," she said and asked. "Kip would you lay with me?"

He nodded and she smiled. "Just hold me though, nothing else."

"Sure," he answered and put his arms around her.

"I can get use to this," she murmured and he felt her relax into slumber.
