Chpt 12
She stepped away from the door. Relaxing against the wall across from it. After ten minutes Dani finally exited out of the room. The moment her eyes saw Lilly, she felt like screaming.
"I'm I going to have to call security on you?" Dani said walking back up to the front.
"I know about the love affair" Lilly said moving from the wall. Dani stopped, another reason to hate her.
"Your point" she turned to face her.
"Isn't there a rule about patients and their nurses and doctors?" she asked.
"What do you want?" Dani asked.
"Your going to stop trying to get Junior and Kris together, and I won't tell about your dirty secret."
Dani, didn't want to loose her job but she wanted her brother happy.
"Fine" she said angrily. Storming off to her desk. She was looking through Kris and Grace's file, when she saw their blood type. She always remembered her and Junior's blood type in case something was ever wrong. Almost shouting, she held it back. Grace was really her brother's child. She jumped out of her desk and started walking to their room. Having no clue how she would tell them, not even knowing how Junior could be the dad. She stopped to get her thoughts right. Lilly was heading back to the room when she passed by Dani.
"You won't be marrying my brother" Dani yelled as she kept walking. Lilly hesitated to stop, but did.
"Are we going to discuss this matter again?" she said.
"Grace is Junior's, so once I tell him, it's over for you two"
Lilly felt as if her world had been turned upside down.
"What did you just say?"
"You heard me" Dani stood in front of her.
"Your not going to tell anyone about that" she demanded.
"Actually I am" she began to head off.
Lilly grabbed her arm and pulled her back,
"If you tell, I'm going to tell everyone about your love relationship with your patient. Then you'll loose your job" she threatened her.
"I'd rather loose my job then have them thinking the baby is Kerry's" she press forward.
"Well I guess being a jockey and all I could say one thing and then noone would hire you" she caught up with Dani.
"If you tell it'll be the biggest regret of your life."
Dani tried to remember, her family would come first. Lilly had power though enough to ruin her career for life. She began to walk the other way. Lilly didn't speak a word, she realized Dani wasn't going to say anything. Heading off too the room, she entered in. Junior stood close to the door.
Wrapping her arms around him she spoke,
"We should get going." He nodded in agreement.
"Well, we are heading out, I guess will come visit you guys tomorrow" Junior said smiling.
As they began to walk out of the hospital, they stopped by Dani's desk. She looked up,
"Hey sis, I guess I'll see you later" he smiled at Lilly who returned the smile. Dani faked it, but it was driving her crazy inside.
The Next Day
Junior had woken up early that morning, Lilly still asleep by his side. He took a quick shower and began to get dress. After he was finished, he wrote a note to Lilly. Letting her know that he was heading to the hospital to see Kris and Grace. He had stopped by a local flower shop, and gathered some flowers.
He drove into the hospital parking lot and parked his car. Entering the hospital he headed down the hall. He knocked softly on the door in case Grace was asleep, he didn't want to wake her.
"Come in" Kris spoke.
"Hey, I was hoping I wouldn't wake her" he smiled catching a glimpse of her as Kris rocked her gently back and forth.
"She's been a good sleeper I can't complain" she gave a small laugh and smiled.
"I didn't have enough time to get a present, so I just ran by the flower shop. I know daisies are your favorite" he smiled placing them near her. She looked at the flowers. Even something so simple, would mean the world to her when Junior gave it to her.
Smiling,
"Thank you, I don't think anyone had a lot of time prepare. The house isn't exactly ready, but Jean went out today to get the rest of the stuff we needed." She continued to rock her gently.
Looking over at him, who had his eyes directly on her.
"You want to hold her?" she asked. He took the question by surprise,
"Sure" he said with a smile. He drew nearer to them, as Kris placed her in his arms. Holding her close to him.
Kris smiled, she could tell Grace meant a lot to him.
"I guess I know who to call when she won't go to sleep at night" she joked.
"Of course call me anytime" he said.
Dani began to head to the room, she noticed Junior holding her. Stopping in front of the window. She couldn't let Lilly control her. Taking a deep breath in, she opened the door.
"Sorry I hate interrupting, I just need to check Grace real quick. Make sure her breathing is stable."
Junior began to hand her over to her.
"No no" she said giving him a hand signal she didn't need to hold her.
"I don't need to hold her, besides she looks content" she smiled. 'Well of course she was she was with her father' Dani thought. After she had fully checked her over, she left them alone.
"I'm glad she's healthy" Junior handing her to Kris.
"It really is a miracle. Thank god for you, had I been there alone, who knows what would've happen" she didn't want to even imagine the possibilities.
He felt glad, that yet she was with Kerry and he was with Lilly. She wanted him around or at least hoped that's what she meant.
A warmth of happiness rushed through her body. His presence made her happy, she couldn't feel that way about Kerry. Always hoping, somehow someway, she could love him. Be happy with him, but as much as she tried it wouldn't happen. She laid Grace in a bed next to her, watching her rest peacefully.
"I guess I'll be heading out now" he gave a small frown.
"You don't have to" she spoke "Leave that is, I'm enjoying the company" she smiled.
"Aren't you sick of me? I've been here for hours" he joked.
"Junior, I can never be sick of you" she said blushing. Their feelings were undeniable, no matter how much they tried. It wasn't possible to not love one another.
"We are coming home tomorrow, maybe I'll see you then" she looked up at him.
"I'll be there" he said. He planted a small kiss on Grace's for head. Then upon Kris, gently kissing her on the cheek. Enough to make them want to embrace in a long kiss. He gave one last look, and headed out of the room. He walked to his car, and started the engine, driving away.
Kris leaned back on the pillows. Looking at her daughter, she thought she was the most beautiful girl ever, of course she knew all mothers said that. A knock on the door quickly interrupted her thoughts.
"Come in" she said.
Jean approached her quietly. Wanting to say 'Aw' as she spotted Grace silently sleeping.
"Hey, how did it go?" she asked nervously.
"Don't look nervous, I picked out stuff in the colors you told me you had plan to have" she gave a reassuring smile. She took in a deep breath, knowing to trust Jean.
"Everything is looking great" Jean smiled, looking at her.
"Thanks, I really appreciate you helping me out."
"Of course" she said giving her a tight squeeze on the hand.
"Well, I just wanted to let you know everything is looking great. I'm gonna head off finishing making the room" she headed out of the door. She hated waiting, for one thing she was impatient, and because she wasn't arranging herself.
She laid softly against the pillow, falling asleep.
The Next Day.
She had awoken, happy to get out of the hospital. She sat up out of bed and grabbed a pair of clean sweat pants. She began to slipping her pajama bottoms off, suddenly the door opened. Junior was standing in the front he noticed her half naked.
"Oh God" he said turning away. She gave a flirtatious smile.
"You've seen me more naked than this" she said slipping on the pants.
"You can turn around."
He turned toward her,
"That was before.. Well before.."
"Before I got pregnant?" she spoke clearly. He nodded, feeling awkward of answering that.
"Sorry I should've knocked, I just thought I'd stop by" he turned feeling embarrass of what he had done.
"It's fine" she said.
"We are ready to get home" Looking away, it wasn't the home she saw herself bringing a baby home too. It wasn't the man either but I guess sometimes things change. She picked up the baby and kissed her, she loved having her close to her. Junior smiled at how happy she was.
Kerry had arrived at the hospital he entered the room. He wasn't expecting to see Junior, so he gave him an uneasy look.
"Hey" he said kissing Kris on the cheek, then kissing Grace.
"How are my girls doing today?" he asked softly.
"So far So good." she said. Junior had imagined himself saying that. Snapping out of his thoughts he began to speak,
"I'll leave you two alone. I guess I'll see you two later" he waved bye. Kris suddenly felt empty.
A sad look appeared upon her face.
"You alright?" he asked in concern.
"Yeah, just tired" she placed her hand on the back of Grace's head.
