This chapter is short, but another one is coming.
Oh my god Jason knows about Lucky. I hope he does not feel that he needs to be with me to protect me. All I know is that she has to be truthful and strong with him and hopefully he doesn't make her feel that he has to be my guard or protector.
"Ok, Elizabeth did you come in to take care of some paperwork or are you going to daydream?" questioned Epiphany.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I am almost done and I will be out of your hair."
"Look you are one of my best nurses and I know that you are going thru a lot and understand. I have been there, but you have to focus because you are a nurse and if you mess up it might cost someone their life."
"Your right, it won't happen again."
Epiphany walked away. God can't I just get a break today. It started out good and it just gets progressively worse by the minute. I guess it could be worse but I am just so overwhelmed and just so tired. I just need to go to bed and sleep until tomorrow.
"Geez, why was Epiphany yelling at you?" asked Dr. Lee
"Like always, my head was not in my work and she called me on it."
"Look Liz, you can't get yourself worked up and stressed you need to take it easy and rest. I know its hard considering but you have to make an effort. Have you told Jason that he is the father?"
"Yeah, I did. He was happy, but then I told him that I was in love with him and he stayed quiet and in shock. Which is understandable but I can't help think that he does not love me back."
"Wow. I am glad that you were honest with him and willing to take the risk. And if it does not go the way that you had hoped at least you know you gave it a shot. Believe me its worth taking the risk and not regret anything later in life in what ifs."
"Yeah, that is my motto these days. I am taking risks a lot lately, basically putting my heart on my sleeve and opening up to a new friend that use to be an enemy. I feel that I need to get away for a couple of days with Cameron."
"Then why don't you?"
"Because I don't want to feel like I am running away from my problems and just maybe I might not come back."
"Liz, knowing you. You will come back because you're a fighter and are loved here by your friends and family. But I do agree that you need a break, especially with the pregnancy and then with Lucky. By the way have you told him yet?"
"Actually, I gave the choice to his family and they are going to wait till he gets out of rehab to tell him. Luke wants tell him."
"Ok. Finally someone in his family is going to help. You have been the one taking all his shit and putting all the pieces together for years. Let them do something for once." Holding Elizabeth's hand. "I suggest you take a couple of days off and go somewhere and breathe."
Laughing and almost crying. "You know what you are right, I am going to take the rest of the weekend off and just relax."
Both women said their goodbyes and without them realizing because they were so caught up with their conversation someone was watching them. Someone that was not a friend. Maxi came out from around the corner with a smirk on her face.
"So what should I do with this information." She said to herself. "I know what exactly I am going to do." With that said she left jumping into the elevator off to see Lucky.
