Chapter Fifty-three
“Is she asleep” the kind nurse asked, indicating to Hope sleeping in my arms
“Yes, finally” I breathed “I never thought she would give up the fight” I said taking in her name badge that said ‘Marie’.
Marie laughed softly “They like to try very hard at that age. Come to think of it, they continue that well into their teens. Just ask my two”.
“Something to look forward to then” I said joining in her joke.
With another light laugh at her memory, she pushed the wheel chair over to my bed, taking Hope from me she put her in the hospital cot, freeing me to get out of bed.
“Why do I need the wheel chair?” I questioned “I’m not in any pain and I can walk just fine”.
“Call it a precaution or some time off” Marie grinned.
Rolling my eyes I plonked myself into the chair. “So which test is it today?” I asked her.
“It would be the psych today” she responded “I think it’s the hardest, only because it’s the longest. They have to ask some of the most stupid questions, its such a drag. Oh I sound like my kids saying drag” she giggled “but seriously, be prepare for questions like what colour is your hair. I mean honestly, its just silly”.
“They can ask me what gender I am for all I care” I said getting stubborn again “nothing is going to stop me giving this kidney to Bryon. I will even cut it out myself if I have to!”
“That’s the spirit” the nurse laughed. “Right after I drop you off I will bring in Hope. Like I said it takes a while, and I dare say she will wake up sometime during the session for a feed. Right all set?”
Upon my nod we were off to the psych offices. We saw Jack coming off the lift as we were about to get in. He had a look of annoyance on his face, almost like he had a fight with someone.
“Jack? Everything ok” I asked him as he stepped out of the lift
“Oh hey Simone” he said slightly distracted, ignoring my question. “I’m sorry I was in my own world didn’t even think to see you sitting there. Why are you sitting there by the way?”
“Off for my psych test. Hope is in my room, she should be asleep” I told Jack, knowing his next question would be about her. Some days I had to wonder whose baby she was “they will be bringing me to her as soon as they drop me off”.
“Would you mind if I stayed with her. When she wakes I can bring her in?” he asked.
I had to laugh “sure Jack, I am sure she would like that. Just don’t wake her ok, it took me forever to get her down”.
“Scouts honor” Jack grinned.
“Is that grin for me or her?” I asked grinning myself.
“Its for you both my darling” Jack said bending down, he kissed my forehead before he headed off in the direction we had come from.
“Where do I get myself one of them” nurse Marie asked from behind me. She had been quiet the entire time.
“They bred them down south” I laughed as she pushed me into the lift. Just as the door closed I could have sworn I saw red hair, like Bryon’s.
