《Peyton》OK I help the girls get dressed once they are dressed there you 3 cute monkeys go all dressed now you run to the playroom and play while daddy cleans the kitchen and then I'll come and play with you but we have to leave the house by 11 o'clock so daddy can take you to daycare and then I can get to work when I'm done with the dishes I go into the playroom where the girls are and see that they are playing with their dolls so I walk over to them and sit with them while they play I look at them and think what kind of mother didn't want to be in her daughters lives I didn't notice I was crying until I heard the sweet voices of my daughters say
《Taylor Kaley and Bailey》Daddy why are you crying?
《Peyton》Oh I was just thinking about the day you girls were born it was the most amazing day of my life
《Taylor Kaley and Bailey》Daddy why don't we have a mommy?
《Peyton》I sat there frozen I didn't know how to answer that question how do you tell your 2 and a half year old daughters that their mother didn't want to be a mother so I just say she didn't want to be a mother girls I look at them and they said
《Taylor Kaley and Bailey》Was it something we did, did she not want to be our mommy because we were bad?
《Peyton》What no no girls it was nothing you did come here they stoot closer to me look at me girls your mother not wanting to be a mommy to you girls has nothing to do with you, you did not do anything wrong you hear me just because you don't have a mommy doesn't mean that you aren't loved by many family and friends because you are let me tell you girls something not many mommy's or daddy's want to be mommy's and daddy's and your mommy was one of those mommy's so your mommy left, do you girls understand?
《Taylor Kaley and Bailey》Yeah daddy we understand we love you so much daddy
《Peyton》I love you girls too, I look at the time and it's now time for me to get the girls to daycare and then I have to go to work, OK girls come on time to go I get the girls in the car and then get in the car and drive to the girls daycare once we get there and the girls and I get out of the car as we are walking into the daycare and I was giving them hugs they whispered into my ear don't forget about us daddy don't walk out on us like mommy did. Just hearing them say that brought tears to my eyes girls what did daddy tell you at home before we came here?
《Taylor Kaley and Bailey》That you and the family and friends love us and you'll never leave us like our mother did
《Peyton》That's right babies now you go play with your friends and daddy will be back in a bit OK?
《Taylor Kaley and Bailey》OK daddy we love you we hug and kiss our daddy one more time and then run off to play with our friends
《Miss Aria》Are you OK Mr. Meyer?
《Peyton》Yes Miss Aria it's just hard to think that my daughters have got abandonment issues just keep an eye on them and if something seems out of the ordinary for their behavior please give me a call
《Miss Aria》I will
《Peyton》Thank you, I look at the girls one more time and then head out to my car and head to work to try and get some work done all the while thinking girls I'm never going to abandon you like your mother did once I get to work I head to my office to get my lab coat then I go see who my patients are for the day I walk up to the front desk hi Jackie who do I have today?
《Jackie》Um yes here are your patients for today
《Peyton》Thank you Jackie I look at the list and see that the first patient I have to see it Tanya I walk into the room and she's sitting on the bed watching T.V. Hey Tanya how are you feeling today?

《Peyton》Well with my recollection you should have been released last night just let me check the wound and then I'll go see why they didn't release you last night I check on Tanya's wound OK Tanya everything seems fine I'll be back I walk out of the room and I see Tabitha so I walk up to her, hey Tabitha can I talk to you for a minute?
《Tabitha》Oh um yeah Dr. Meyer what can I do for you today?
《Peyton》Yeah how come Tanya is still here the woman that came in to the hospital a couple days ago with a stab wound she was supposed to be released last night?
《Tabitha》I don't know I was just the nurse that helped the doctor with her case I called you to tell you that she got through the surgery with flying colors the day that she was admitted your going to have to talk to Dr. Gettleman about why she wasn't released last night
《Peyton》OK thank you Tabitha, I walk off to find Dr. Gettleman I walk to the Doctors Lounge but before I go in I hear two voices one I recognized as Dr. Gettleman and the other one I recognized as Dr. Halliwell but they didn't sound like they were just talking it sounded like they were doing other things so I knock to make my presence known when I do that they jump apart and try and act like nothing was going on Dr. Halliwell good to see you
《Dr. Halliwell》You to Dr. Meyer I look at Jonathan and he winks at me I blush and then walk out of the room
《Peyton》Dr. Gettleman why didn't Tanya go home last night like she was supposed to?
《Jonathan》I'm sorry Dr. Meyer I thought she needed to stay a little longer if you want I can sign off on her chart, he hands me the chart and I sign off on it I was about to walk away when he stopped me and says
《Peyton》Dr. Gettleman you know you can be fired or suspended for what you have been doing with Dr. Halliwell in the Doctors Lounge please be more careful your my best friend Jonathan and I don't want to have to fire you
《Jonathan》You don't have to worry about that anymore the next time that happens won't happen here I'll wait until my shift is over I'm thankful you hired me and I don't want to lose this job I'll see you around Peyton I walk away and I run into Tina I look at her and smile hey sexy lady you know we can't do what we were doing in the Doctors Lounge anymore so we'll have to wait until our shifts are over and go somewhere more private to have sex you know I love you Tina your the girl of my dreams
