Cowgirl Up ✔️

Chapter Forty Nine

For about the twentieth time, I looked at my phone.
More specifically, I looked at the last message Blayze sent me.
Blayze: iMessage: 11:08AM: Just left town.
So that would mean he was on the stretch to Fletcher Creek, the town where the hospital is located.
But the clock now read 11:58AM.
That means it's fifty minutes since he sent the last message.
What's taking him so long?
As soon as I got Blayze's message to say he was leaving home, I raced into the shower to make sure I was definitely ready to go by the time he got here.
It feel's like bloody forever since I was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed twiddling my thumb's.
"Yeah, she's good to go."
The now entirely familiar tone of Doctor Legend's voice sounded seemingly just outside my room.
But from where I sat, I couldn't see much into the corridor.
"I know she wanted to come home but I didn't think she'd tell me she was allowed to if she actually wasn't."
That voice I'd know anywhere.
I practically leapt off the hospital bed and grabbed the plastic bag containing the small amount of my belonging's I had to take home.
I practically skidded through the doorway in my haste to get the hell out of here.
I couldn't wait to smell the fresh outside air.
You didn't know just how much you missed it until it's taken away from you.
"Whoa!"
Doctor Legend put the brakes on just in time, narrowly missing slamming into me in my sudden arrival.
Amusement danced in his green eyes.
"Something tell's me you want to go home."
I looked up until I found Blayze's beautiful deep blue-green eyes.
I couldn't wipe my smile even if I wanted to.
"Hell yeah I do!"
"Now."
Doctor Legend began.
Something told me to be weary of the edge to his voice.
I shot Blayze a glance, then turned back to the Doctor.
Doctor Legend winced.
"I probably should've mentioned to you that as you're a minor you need a guardian to sign you out."
I stared at him, shocked.
"You're kidding me?"
I looked quickly to Blayze.
He looked like he was on exactly the same wavelength as me.
"But."
Doctor Legend spread his hand's in a smoothing motion.
I raised a questioning brow.
Doctor Legend nodded toward Blayze.
"I think we can make an exception and Blayze can sign for you."
My heart pounded in relief.
Thank god!
"To cover ourselves, we'll call your Mum and get her verbal permission though."
Doctor Legend explained.
"Well, if she'll give it."
He shrugged.
Smiling, I shook my head.
Doctor Legend raised a questioning brow.
I jerked a thumb in Blayze's direction.
"Since he was eighteen Blayze has half the time signed stuff for me."
"Okay then."
Doctor Legend nodded.
The three of us headed for a desk area that had a few worker's behind it dealing with paperwork and computer's.
"I need Bailey Harley's file please."
Doctor Legend requested from a red headed woman wearing black rimmed rectangle glasses.
"Sure."
She turned to a stack and flicked through a couple of Manila folder's until she grabbed one and pulled it free, extending it to Doctor Legend.
"Thank you."
He told her.
Atop the higher point of the desk, he flipped the folder open, rummaged through a couple of sheet's, then grabbed a pen.
He turned to Blayze and I.
"Is one of you able to get Kylie on the phone for me?"
"She seriously isn't going to care."
I insisted.
"It's policy, Bail's."
Blayze pulled his phone from his pocket and tapped away at the screen.
"Are you calling her?"
I checked.
He nodded and held the phone to his ear.
The second's ticked by.
I began to feel a little anxious.
What if she doesn't pick up?
Will Doctor Legend not let me go until he's heard Mum say it's fine if Blayze sign's?
"Kylie."
Blayze said suddenly,
Relief flooded my vein's.
Doctor Legend shot me a smile.
Blayze shot a quick glance my way.
"Yeah, all's good, but there's the small formality of needing your signature."
He paused to listen to what Mum said.
"Yeah, we both said as much but the Doc said he need's to hear it from you coz it's policy and cover's em."
Blayze explained.
"Yeah he's right here. Righto."
He extended the phone to Doctor Legend.
The Doctor smiled, took it and held it to his ear.
"Hello Kylie, so sorry to interrupt you."
He greeted.
He nodded as Mum spoke.
"I know."
He explained.
"Yes if it was up to me I wouldn't have bothered, however if I let it slide it would go through my superior's."
He nodded.
"Okay. Thank you Kylie, enjoy the rest of your day. Let's hope we don't have to see you guy's until we're delivering a strong, healthy baby."
Doctor Legend paused to listen.
"Thank you. Not a problem at all. Bye bye."
He extended the phone back to Blayze.
I all but pounced on him.
"So you can accept Blayze's autograph now?"
He smiled.
"Of course."
Thank god!
Blayze stashed his phone in his pocket and stepped up to the desk to sign what was required.
Doctor Legend flipped the Manila folder shut.
"Annnnd you're free to go!"
"Thank god!"
I realised a moment too late that my word's could be considered rude and ungrateful.
I smiled sheepishly.
"No offence. And thank you for looking after me."
"Not a problem at all."
My Doctor promised.
He grinned.
"Let's try not to see each other again until November hey?"
I nodded.
"That'd be good."
"Definitely would. The cop's are watchin me all the time now and look's like I needa give the Ute a service."
Blayze added.
I poked my tongue out at him.
He's soooooo funny sometimes!
"At least me and your kid are alive!"
Doctor Legend laughed!
Blayze smiled.
"Touché."
He agreed.
"Have a safe journey home."
Doctor Legend wished.
He turned to me and offered his right hand.
I grinned and shook it.
"Thanks for everything, Doc!"
"My pleasure."
He assured.
He turned to Blayze to shake his hand too.
"Cheers mate."
Blayze told him.
They're suddenly friend's?
Blayze turned to me.
"You ready to get a move on Bail's?"
"Heck yes!"
I turned on my heel and headed for the door's.
But a moment later I stopped, realising I didn't actually know what way I had to go.
Blayze and Doctor Legend laughed!
Blayze nodded down the corridor I'd aimed for.
"You're goin the right way."
Phew.
"See ya guy's."
Doctor Logan bade.
"Bye!"
I waved over my shoulder.
