Hey sitora here. umm. not many reviews this time hopefully that's gonna change lol :) anyways. Heres chapter 2.
Last Time:
Jude was thinking again, and when she thought, that wasn't always good.
She had been doing fine without him for 18 months and now he just called out of nowhere, and he was coming back in three days. Three days. It seemed like such a short time, hell it was a short time.
Jude just sat there, back on the porch she was on the day before. From the angle she sat at she had a clear view of Arianna. She smiled to herself as she got up to check on her. She found her peacefully asleep in her crib.
Look at what a miracle we created Tommy. She thought to herself. This is our creation . . . I just hope we can put everything in the past behind us, all the bad things, just remember the good moments, I know I want to, and for the sake of Arianna . . . well that just makes me want to fix this even more.
She laid down on her bed and drowned herself in her thoughts.
She looked at the clock. It read "4:37AM"
"Only two more days." She mumbled to herself before drifting off to sleep.
And now :) Onto the fanfic.
Jude woke up an hour later to a crying Arianna. She was about to get up when she heard Sadie come into the room, so she decided to pretend she was asleep, not that she could sleep anyway. But hey, she tried.
She woke up around 8 and Arianna was sleeping soundly. Jude went downstairs and started rummaging around the fridge for something to eat.
I should go to the store, I'm in the mood for a bacon egg & cheese on a roll. With salt and pepper. She thought. "Mmm." she mumbled.
"Mmm what?" Sadie had come in the room.
"Just thinking of a really good breakfast." Jude laughed a bit.
"Ohh. What did you have in mind? I'm going to the store I'll pick something up for you if you want."
"In that case I'll give you the money." Jude walked towards her purse.
"Jude stop it, it's just breakfast."
Jude laughed. "Okay but don't say I didn't try."
"I won't. Now what do you want?"
"Get me a bacon egg & cheese on a roll. Extra bacon - crispy. Salt & Pepper in the egg, and two bottles of cranberry juice."
"Gotcha. Be back in 20 minutes." She left.
Jude went back to her room to make sure Arianna was still asleep and she was.
That gives me 15 minutes to shower, Lets hope this works. She thought.
Walking towards the bathroom, about to open the door, Arianna began crying.
"I'm coming." She heard her mother's voice say.
"Mom? I didn't know you were awake."
"You and Sadie are pretty loud when you talk you know."
Jude laughed. "Sorry about that."
"It's okay honey. Go shower, I'll take care of Arianna."
"Thanks mom." With that said, Jude walked into the shower.
Fifteen minutes later:
Jude walked out of the shower to her mother on the phone with Arianna's doctor.
"Yes doctor. Hmm. Yes doctor. 103 degrees Fahrenheit. No, she's never been sick before."
"Mom? What's wrong?"
"Shh. Jude I'm talking to Arianna's doctor."
"Yes doctor. Right away. We'll be there as soon as possible. Thank you."
She hung up.
"Mom? Are you going to answer me? What's wrong?"
"Arianna has a high fever, I'm going to bring her to the doctor, You stay here sweetie."
She began to walk away.
"Mom? Not that I don't appreciate everything your doing for Arianna, but she is my child, so therefore that means that it's my responsibility, meaning I am coming to the doctor with you. Thank you." And she went in her room to get dressed.
She came downstairs five minutes later and Sadie was already back.
"Here you go Mrs. Eats a lot."
"That is so not nice Sadie, You didn't call me that when I was pregnant. And I'm not a Mrs. I'm a Miss."
"Oh but you're going to get married some day, and for the record I didn't call you that when you were pregnant simply because you didn't eat that much."
"One day, sure, But I'm not married now you know. And I did to !"
Sadie sat down. "Yeah I know, and you're right, I just didn't say anything because there were no words to describe how much you ate." They both laughed.
Changing the subject, Sadie asked. "Why are you dressed like your about to go out?"
"Oh, yeah I didn't tell you. Arianna's got a high fever, Mom and I are going to take her to the doctor, so I'll have to eat this in the car." She grabbed the food, and a paper plate along with napkins.
"In that case I'll go with you. She's my niece after all, and I don't have anything to do anyway."
"Okay Sadie."
"Come on Jude, lets go." Her mother said.
"I'm going too. You have two daughters, not one." She said.
"I know honey, but I didn't know you were here. Anyway Lets go girls."
Jude picked up a Crying, already dressed thanks to her mom Arianna.
"Shh. It's okay. Everything's gonna be okay, You're gonna be okay." Jude whispered to her baby girl. And they got in the car.
At the Doctors Office:
"Harrison." Jude told the receptionist at the front desk.
"Yes, Dr. Rosenberg will be with you shortly."
"Thank you." And Jude took a seat with Sadie and her mother.
A few minutes after Jude sat down Dr. Rosenberg stepped out of his office.
"Miss Harrison, good to see you again, How have you been these last 10 months?"
"Good Doctor." She responded.
"Father show up yet?"
"Not yet, but soon. Still hoping and praying here, you know like always."
"I wish you luck, I hope he shows up for you and Arianna's sake."
"Thank you Doctor."
"Now let's step into my office and lets see what's wrong with this little girl."
In Dr. Rosenberg's office he performed a physical on Arianna. "Hmm. Everything seems in check." He felt her forehead and took his hand away quickly.
"Wow. That baby's burning up faster then a fire spreads."
He took her temperature.
"104 degrees Fahrenheit. That isn't good."
Jude had tears in her eyes. "Well of course it isn't good !! What kind of a doctor are you, use COMMON SENSE - if normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, then OBVIOUSLY 104 degrees Fahrenheit isn't good."
"Shh! Jude." Sadie said. "Calm down."
"Calm down?! My 10 month old child is under a fever that can god forbid kill her and you want me to CALM DOWN?"
"Miss. Harrison, I assure you she's going to be okay. Babies often get temperatures like this. I'm going to give her two shots, and an antibiotic that you make sure she takes twice a day every 2 hours for Seven days. If the temperature doesn't start to drop within one full day, then you'll have to give me a call, and I'll arrange for a hospital. Do you have Insurance?" He asked.
"What kind of stupid question is that? What Singer doesn't have insurance?" She responded rudely.
"I see. I'm sorry."
"No Dr. I'm sorry, I'm just scared and I have a lot of things going on, I have no right to act like that."
"It's alright, I understand, Plus you were worse during delivery remember?" Dr. Rosenberg laughed.
"Don't remind me." Jude let out a chuckle.
Dr. Rosenberg gave Arianna her two shots, and Jude a prescription for Arianna's antibiotic.
"Thank you Doctor."
"No problem. Come back in Seven days, if the temperature drops. If not I told you, after one full day, that's 4:00PM tomorrow, give me a call."
"Okay, Thanks again." And Jude, Sadie, and their mother left.
A Local Pharmacy:
Jude handed the prescription to the pharmacist.
"You're lucky Miss. Harrison. We happen to have one of those left in stock."
"How much?"
The pharmacist rang up the antibiotic. "$75.00"
Jude handed her the money. "Thank you." She walked back to the car where her mother and Sadie were waiting, got in and drove back home.
Back at Home:
By the time they got home it was already 6:00 PM Jude changed Arianna, and Fed her. Jude took her temperature to see if it went down because her forehead seemed to be cooling off.
102. . . At least it dropped a little bit. She thought and she gave Arianna her antibiotic.
Jude sat on her bed with her guitar and tried to write a song, but she couldn't for two reasons.
One: She didn't want Arianna to wake up.
And
Two: She couldn't do so ever since Tommy left. She only wrote "Listen" because Darius made it come to the point where she either wrote the song, or headed to the unemployment office.
Her phone rang and that picture of Tommy popped up again.
"Hello?"
"Hey girl."
"Tommy? I thought we said we'd talk when you got here." She sounded a bit annoyed.
"We did, but I called to ask you a question."
"Does it have to do with my life?"
"Your career."
Jude sighed. "Shoot."
"When I come back there, and since I'm going to stay because my work here in Montana is done, will you let me be your producer again?"
Jude's eyes widened. "That um . . . came out of nowhere?"
"Yeah I'm sorry, but I've been working here and all these artists are just . . . no challenge. I mean as well as I know you, and you may think you're not a challenge for me to produce, but you know what girl you are. Every day it's a different mood, a different Jude and every day it's like I have to get to know you all over again, When I produce you and write a song with you it's like I'm meeting you for the first time again, Just minus the hatred towards the producer."
Jude laughed. "That was fun, I mean hating you though. It was like you were the person who thought he was this god because he was in some boy band from the 90's and that I couldn't even look at you because I wasn't worthy enough. Go figure."
Tommy laughed at the other end. "Yeah go figure."
There was a silence on the line, both of them looked at their phones to make sure it was still connected.
"So . . . do you have an answer?" He asked.
"Yes I do."
"And?"
"I'd love it if you'd be my producer again Tommy."
He smiled to himself. "It's settled then. So how was your day?"
"Ugh. Hectic."
"What happened?"
"Well it was starting out okay, but then Arianna's temperature shot up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit so we took her to Dr. Rosenberg's office and he gave her two shots and an antibiotic, and just hectic." She responded.
"Is she okay?" He sounded concerned.
"Yeah, she's a bit better. Tommy I got so scared."
"I know girl. But It's going to be okay."
"How do you know Tommy? You aren't even here . . ."
Tommy was hurt at the mentioning of her words, although they were very much true.
"I just know. I'll be there in two days, don't worry girl, they'll go by quickly."
"I sure hope so . . . I just need you here Tommy, I need to know that I'm safe. . . " She began to tear.
"Jude I am there, weather it's physically or not, and you are safe, don't you ever doubt that." He told her.
Jude sniffed. "Thanks Tommy."
Just then Arianna started to cry again.
"Tommy I have to go take care of Arianna, I'll see you when you get here."
"Alright girl, bye."
"Bye."
Jude hung up and walked over to Arianna.
"Sweetie what's wrong?" She looked at the clock, it was exactly two hours after she gave Arianna her first dose of her antibiotic, so she gave her the second dose, changed her, and put her down to sleep. She took her temperature. 100 . . . Thank god it's going down. She thought to herself.
Jude put Arianna back into her crib to sleep, went to lay down on her bed and looked at the clock which read 10:35PM.
"Only two more days." She mumbled to herself. "Two more days and he's here."
And she drifted off to sleep.
Well there's chapter 2 R&R&R plz :)
