Ch. 40

"I thought that you didn't to talk about this yet," stated Watanabe looking at his old friend.

"I don't but I've been thinking…"

Naoki thought about what his brother told him and what he had told Dr. Nishigaki, and also what he told himself. However at the same time something was happening between the two of them.

"Well if you want to but I agree with your brother. Even if you plan to do what you plan I advise waiting a while," advised Watanabe.

"Maybe your right?" sighed Naoki.

The young lawyer looked toward the young doctor. He knew from what Naoki mentioned the other day something truly happened between the nurse and his longtime friend, way even before yesterday. Back before she left Tokyo.

"The invite for this weekend was for Kotoko and her kids, but you can come over too so we can talk," said Watanabe. "Plus maybe you can have fun yourself and letting the kids know you better since their staying at your parents."

Naoki had to think fast over that statement, knowing that she would not saying that they had a child together, specially sense they worked in the same hospital on the same floor. "That's a great idea."

"Good, also I should warn you that Kotoko's old friends are also invited," mentioned Watanabe.

"Oh joy." His old friends were really going to know why Kotoko left. Naoki had forgotten that the major idiot and Satomi had kids in his friend's kid's class. Another thought came to him right after. 'I'm surprised I have lived this long. Kotoko must have done something to make sure that moron didn't come after me.'

"That will be fine," stated Naoki without much worry. "I still can doge those idiots' attacks."

"Wait I think we both forgot about something?" exclaimed the lawyer.

"What's that?" asked Naoki coming out of his thoughts.

"We forgot about Sahoko and how you are going to do things around her."

Naoki just sighed. "It's only the middle of the week I'll come up with something, for both of them why I'm also going to your house."

"Well you better think of something Saturday will be here before you know it," commented Watanabe.

Later on that day as Kotoko was about to leave the head nurse called out to her. "I was wondering if after next week if you could take the night shift," she started to explain. "A few of the nurses who normally take the later shifts all have something going on the week after next."

"I don't know," Kotoko started to say. "I have to make sure it's okay with my sitter first and my kids. I'm actually surprised that you would ask me."

"Well like we all have said, we heard you became one of the top nurses after sometime," stated Head Nurse Hosoi smiling.

Kotoko just smiled. "I'll see what I can do."

"What's going on here?" asked Dr. Nishigaki still in his work clothes.

"I was asking Ns. Mikado if she could work the nightshift in a couple of weeks," stated the head nurse.

"Oh wonderful I was wondering if we were going to have enough help those nights," exclaimed the doctor. "I was hoping we finally get to work together," he winked at her.

"Well I need to make sure that's its okay with my sitter at first," mentioned Kotoko.

"Oh I'm sure Dr. Irie parents want mind."

"You're probably right but I haven't had a night shift in years, so I'm not pretty sure how my kids will take it," stated Kotoko sadly.

Both Dr. Nishigaki and Ns. Hosoi looked at the woman with sympathy. "If you don't think you can do it we will understand," said Dr. Nishigaki patting the young woman's shoulder.

"Dr. Nishigaki is right, just let us know before next week," stated the head nurse patting her shoulder as well and walking off.

"Well I better get going home to my kids," stated Kotoko clutching her bag.

"Oh, yes, I also better get back to work," said Dr. Nishigaki. "Have a good rest of the night," he smiled at her.

Kotoko smiled back just a little.

"You too."
