The next morning.
Nick awoke and turned to his side. put his hand on Dana's bare should and nugged her. She opened her eyes and looked in his. He kissed her.
"I saw the worst dream. Your mother walked in on us having..." Nick said
"That wasn't a dream." Dana whispered "She did walk in."
"That is so embarassing. Now everytime we do it I'm gonna image you're your mother."
"That is really nastly Nicholas. Besides, she didn't see your boobs did she?"
"I don't have boobs! Maybe she should leave."
"Then you're the one who is going to ask her to leave. She's my mother, I can't tell her to do that."
"You're 24 years old. You're mother has to know that you don't need her."
"I'm 26." Dana corrected "Almost 7 years of marriage and you don't even know how old I am."
"Oh, same shit. My point, Dana, is that she has to go. Last night she was out of line. I'm sure within an hour we'll get in some sort of trouble, again. You got in trouble for being naked in your own bedroom." he reminded. The home phone begun ringing. Nick reached over and answered it.
"Yeah?" he said
"Can I talk to Nicholas Biancavilla?"
"This is he."
"I'm calling from Taboozokia Morgage. Do you speak English?"
"English, is that the language they speak in America? No, I don't sorry."
"Do you speech French?"
"Wee-Wee."
"Was that a yes?"
"No, it meant I have to pee."
"I thought you said you don't speak English."
"I don't know English I know British" he hung up.
"What was that?" Dana asked "Why'd you tell him you have to pee."
"Do I have to ask you before I tell people I have to pee? Maybe I have to pee."
"Well the bathroom is that door right there." she pointed the door to him.
"I don't have to pee. Dana... keep up! You have to get your mother out of this house by tommarow. If you love me you'll do it."
"I can't kick my mother out. It doesn't mean I don't love you, it just means I respect my parents." she moved closer to him and put her head on his chest. He put his arms around her.
"You wanna show me just how much you love me? Ya' know to make up for everything." he asked
"No, I beleive she has showed enough love last night." her mother said as she entered the room.
"Annabell! How long have you been here?" Nick asked in a state of shock
"Long enough to know you want me gone."
"When did I say that? Annabell... don't put words in my mouth. I said 'You have to get your Gutter away from this house.' Yeah, I um don't like gutters."
"Wow, Dana, your husband really knows how to lie."
"You should see him on Valentines Day. After he forget to get me something." she looked at him pathedicly
"I wasen't lying. They won't let me into Tiffany's because there was a posiones... frog inside."
"A posiones frog... in Philadelphia?" Annabella questioned
"Yes! I am not making this up." Nick snapped
"You need to learn how to lie." she said. "So you don't want me to go?"
"I... um... never said that. Do you hear that? I think it's my phone." Nick said in search of an excuse to leave.
"This phone?" Dana revealed the phone hidden under Nick's pillow.
"Yeah...no. My other phone. Downstairs, you know, the one... not in here." he ran out of the room.
"He doesn't have a second phone, does he?" Annabell asked, Dana shook her head. "Well, the only reason I came in here was to tell you that the hospital called while you were still asleep."
"I really don't care about the hospital. Today is my day off and I plan to be... off."
"They think Alexa is ready to be discharged."
"They can't make that call. I'm her doctor, that's my decision. Who the hell are they to tell me what's best for my daughter? Can't they just leave me alone for one day."
"The call was from your boss. He says that he's went through your files for Alexa and that she's ready to be discharged, today. He wants you to go over there and pick her up. They won't realse her to Nick's mother."
"I hate that assshole." Dana mumbled as she got out of her bed. An hour later Dana walked into Robert's office.
"Dana, I'm glad you could make it."
"Why the hell have you been through my files."
"I'm the cheif of staff. I can do as I please. According to those records your daughter is fine. She can go home with you."
"She just had surgery... yesterday morning."
"She's taking up space. We have other patients who need that room more than your daughter."
"Robert she just had her appendix removed and she's three."
"I don't care. You have an hour to get her discharge her. Sign everything as parent and doctor, get the IV out of her, whatever."
"Robert..." she was inturupted by him.
"Everything I have said is final, Dana. You are not going to change my mind."
"Fine, you're right whatever you say goes."
"Really? You've never let me win an arguement. It must be the divorce, I heard yesterday. I'm sorry."
"Don't be, there is no divorce. As for the arguement, it isn't over. I just don't want Alexa to be alone any more then she already has been."
"She's not alone. Your mother in law is with her."
"But I'm not. Besides I'm not arguing with you on my day off. We contiue this fight tommarow, just remember where we left off." she walked out of his office. An hour and a half later Dana returened home with Alexa. They walked through the door, Annabell was standing right infront of them.
"What happen?" she asked
"Nothing." Dana answered "Can I be left alone?"
"Did you go out in public dressed like that?"
"Yeah. What's wrong with that?"
"I just think married women shouldn't wear halter tops and mini skirts in public without their husbands."
"You think like Ricky Ricardo and Fred Mertz."
"Dana, I don't like your wordrobe or your tone of voice."
"I don't care if you approve of my clothing. Because: A. Married women don't get fashion advice from their mother and B. Leave me alone. And Second I don't care for your thoughts of my tone of voice because: A. I'm 26 and I don't need my mommy for everything and B. I want to be left alone."
"You have a family, you can't be left alone. You're not going to be alone until Alexa goes to collage. In 15 years."
"Mom... you are starting to get on my last nerve. You're so pesimistic. You can't be positive for just one minute. My husband and I have to get your permission before we can be undressed in our own bedroom. The worst part is that you're not treating us like adults. It's like you think we can't make our own desisions. I can't take that, we want to be left alone."
To be contiued...
