Ch 2
Rita wakes up the next morning and sighs. "Good morning little one. Guess I need to find a doctor here to make sure you're ok."
The baby kicks.
"I know baby."
She gets dressed and goes to find something open for breakfast.
After she eats, she calls Jamie to set up appointments for houses.
Jamie meets her at the first one. "You must be Rita."
Rita nods. "I am. Thanks for meeting me..well us."
Jamie smiles. "Of course. Is it just you and the baby?"
Rita nods slightly. "I lost my husband not long ago in the line of duty and I needed to keep the baby safe. So we drove up here and I had to stop for a good cry. And it was just a sign from him to stay here."
"Oh I am so sorry. Do you want to rent or.."
"Rent to start. Maybe own at some point."
"Understand. Let's go look at this house."
Rita smiles. "Thanks."
They walk in the house and Rita looks around. "This is cute. How close are we to the beach?"
"Oh it's not too far but not across the street. Probably fifteen to twenty minutes away."
"Oh that's not bad."
"Not at all."
They go look at the other houses and Rita decides on the first one they looked at.
"Is it ready for me to move in?"
Jamie nods. "It is. I'll have a couple friends of mine come over and help."
"Thank you."
Rita drives to the hotel and falls right to sleep.
"Sammy!"
Rita rushes to him. "Hi." She wraps her arms around his neck.
"What did you do?"
"Found a rent house for me and the baby..about twenty minutes away from the beach."
"Oh good."
"Looking for a job tomorrow."
"How's the baby?"
"Good. Just kicking up a storm. I wish you could feel."
Chris kisses her cheek. "I miss you so much."
"I miss you too."
Rita wakes up the next morning, gathers her things and checks out of the hotel. She heads towards the house.
"Hi Jamie. Thanks so much for everything."
"Hi. You're welcome." She unlocks the door and Rita signs the lease.
"And it's all yours."
"One more thing, do you know of anyone needing any help and do you know a good ob-gyn?"
Jamie nods. "I actually need someone to help with my filing and scheduling. I know you're probably over qualified but I'd love to have you. And here's the name of the doctor I use."
"Thank you. Give me a few days to get things unpacked and I'll be at your office?"
"Sure. That sounds good. Take your time."
"Ok. I'll be in touch."
"Let me know if you need anything."
