Chapter 63

Ben was working at mary's place when Cheryl walked in with chad;"Hi,you two."

"Hi,ben."said his sister as they sat down;"Where's Emily?"

"She's at home."answered he;"So,all set to move in together?"

"We sure are."smiled Cheryl as she kissed chad before turning back towards her brother;"When are you going to find a place of your own for you and Emily?"

"Soon enough."laughed her brother;"We will have to find something soon anyway,because at the beginning of next year we will have an addition to our family."

"Is Emily pregnant?"asked chad surprised;"Are you going to become a dad,ben?"

"Yes,in about six-and-a-half months or so."answered he;"Isn't that great?"

"It sure is."said sister sister and have him a hug;"Congratulations."

"Congratulations,ben."started chad uncomfortable and tried to hide the fact that he suddenly felt really uncomfortable;"I'm sure that you will be a great dad."

"So,when are you two going to start a family?"asked ben;"With kids and all?"

"I don't know."answered his sister as she noticed the strange look in her boyfriend's eyes;"We haven't talked about that yet."

"No,we haven't."said chad quickly and got up;"I have to go and talk to felica about tonight,Cheryl,do you want to come with me or do you want to stay here?"

"I'll stay here."started she confused;"When will you be back?"

"Soon enough."answered her boyfriend as he kissed her goodbye and walked away;"Bye."

That night Rachel was sitting on the couch when mac came out of the study;"Are you finished with work for the day?"

"Yes,I am."answered her husband as he sat down next to her;"I know that I've been working hard these last few days,Rachel,but I have to get things done if we want to go away next week."

"I know that,mac."said she softly;"I just hope that sam and amanda can sort things out before we go away."

"Maybe your talk with her this morning helped,honey,I wouldn't worry too much about it,because Amanda loves sam and he loves her too."

"I hope so,because I don't really feel comfortable leaving while they're still having problems."answered Rachel;"I just know that they can overcome these problems."

"Do you want to stay here untill they have sorted out their problems?"asked her husband;"We can wait if that is what you want,Rachel,we don't have to leave next week."

"No,you know that I want to be away from here when things start to get worse with my health."started she slowly;"We are going to leave next week."

Maybe Amanda and sam have already sorted things out by now after what you said to her this morning."said mac as he kissed his wife;"Don't worry,honey,everything will work itself out."

At shane's house Nicole used her key,that she hadn't returned yet,to open up the door and walked into the livingroom while she turned on the lights when she saw shane laying on the couch,sleeping.

"Hey,shane,wake up!"started Nicole worried as she sat down next to him and shook him up gently;"Wake up!"

"What?"asked he confused as he woke up and saw Nicole sitting there;"Nicole?"

"Stay awake!"said his ex-girlfriend and shook him a few times again when she saw that he was falling back to sleep again;"Shane!"

"Let me sleep!"whispered he annoyed with his eyes still closed;"I'm tired!"

"You have to wake up!"answered Nicole worried and kept shaking him a bit;"I have to see if you're okay!"

"Why?"asked shane softly as he opened his eyes;"Since when do you care if I'm okay or not,because lastnight you told me that you never want to see me again and this morning you slammed the door shut in my face!"

"That isn't fair,shane,I was angry at you!"said she hesitating;"Do you have any idea how worried we all were after ryan told us that nobody knew where you were?"

"I don't care!"answered her ex-boyfriend angry and closed his eyes again;"I just want to sleep!"

"Where's your car?"asked Nicole suddenly as she woke him up again as he was falling back to sleep;"I didn't see your car standing outside,shane."

"I ran out of fuel as I was driving,so I had to walk back downhere."said he tired;"Can you please just let me sleep now,Nicole,I'm so tired."

"Ofcourse,shane,go back to sleep."smiled his ex-girlfriend and realized that she couldn't live without him as she kissed him gently as he fell back to sleep again;"I'll be right here."

David was about to go asleep at his room at tops when susan showed up on his doorstep;"What are you doing here,susan,is everything okay?"

"I will go with you to Washington."said she softly as they sat down on the couch;"But I can't promise you anything more then friendship right now!"

"Are you being serious?"asked her friend surprised;"You didn't seem all that happy about the idea at lunch and I was sure that you were going to say no."

"I was,but adam came up to my office earlier and it seems that he's totally going for m.j. and their son,so I'm going to keep running into them around town as one big happy family from now on and I just can't take that."started susan slowly;"So I have decided to make a fresh start in Washington with you,away from here."

"I'm glad that you have decided to come with me,susan,but are you sure that this is what you want?"

"Ofcourse I am,david,otherwise I wouldn't be doing it."answered she annoyed;"I will miss my brother and my friends,but I can always come downhere to visit them and ryan can come to washington too."

"I already have a job for you at the finest hospital in Washington."smiled david when he saw the surprised look on susan's face;"I thought or rather I hoped that I'd be able to convince you about what a great idea it would be to move down to Washington with me and that is why I called a friend of mine a few hours ago about a job for you at his hospital."

"But please just remember that I can't promise you anything more then friendship right now,david!"warned susan him hesitating;"I don't want you to expect more from me then I can give you."

"I know that you don't love me in that way right now and I'm not expecting anything from you."answered her friend;"But who knows what the future might bring."
