Jennifer's POV.
Or not?
"I'm so sorry. Damn it...I really am." Leah said and she was driving back to the hospital. I laughed a little. "It's fine. I wasn't hungry anyways. I love to see you doing your thing. Can I go in?" I asked hopeful. "Sure. I'm really sorry. After this we will go for food I promise." "Leah, it's okay. It's literally 4 in the morning. I am not hungry." "You're lying." She smirked. "I know. But don't mind me, do your thing and then we can go for food or something." I smiled. "Alright. Good."
We got to the hospital and as soon as Leah walked inside the ICU all eyes were on her. I mean, even mine. She looked so...professional and sexy af!
She pulled her hair in a ponytail and she washed her hands before entering in some of the rooms there. There was a little girl. She was connected to all of these machines. And there was a woman, maybe her mother. She was holding a white tissue, her face was red from all the crying. A nurse came by Leah and put a white coat over her and all the stuff she always had with her. Leah checked on the little girl. She read the chart, then she went to the woman, she was just nodding, but couldn't help but cry. Leah rubbed her shoulder and she cried even harder. Leah hugged her and she was facing me. I looked at her worried and made a face asking what was going on. Her response face wasn't too good, she made a sad face and shook her head. I wasn't sure what it meant but it didn't mean anything good. Leah rubbed this woman's back for a few seconds and she then pulled away, she went back to grab the little girl's hand and Leah walked out with the chart in her hand. She walked over a desk and started writing some things down.
"Everything okay?" I asked softly. Not sure what to say. She sighed, "she's pretty delicate. We performed a bone marrow transplant. She was under chemotherapy and radiation for a long time, considering she's only six it's a big deal. She can't handle it anymore. But we are hopeful, we are waiting, she hasn't woken up." Leah looked up at me. I was speechless. Tears started to flow down my face. Oh, my god. "Aw, Jen. It's okay." She pulled me for a hug. I was so devastated.
"She's a little kid, how is it possible?" "It happens. It's so sad, and it's not fair. Not at all. But we are waiting for her. The surgery was performed this morning." She said. "So you came to see me, after this surgery? Leah..." she was really into me, I mean...I wouldn't even think about going to see anyone after something like this. "I did, I knew this was going to be a special night for you, I wanted to be there for you." She said. Ha, ironic how some people would do such a thing for you, just like that, I'm still not used it. She's great, she's amazing.
I just hugged her.
"Thank you, I really appreciate it." She hugged me back. "I'm so tired." She said resting her head on my shoulder. "Don't y'all have some place to sleep or something." "Actually...yes. Do you want me to drive you home?" She offered. "Can I stay here with you?" I asked, her head was still on my shoulder. She pulled away and smiled. "Sure."
"Peterson...just, let Patricia know what has been going on, and please call me if there's any update, or if you need me, only emergencies, I shouldn't be on call." She told the nurse and this young lady nodded. "I will Dr. Remini, go rest, I'll be here, and I'll let you know if there's any update." "Alright, thank you." She smiled and then turned around, "Come on. Lets go." We started walking and we arrived at some door, it said Dr. Leah Remini in silver.
"After you." She said and I laughed a little. "You got your own place? Isn't it supposed to be like a public thing? That's what I see in movies and stuff." "Privileges of being the daughter of the chief." She winked and I raised my eyebrows. "I'm just kidding. This is my office and I just added a bed, that's all the big deal. It's actually a sofa but then..." she walked closer and pulled out a bed out of it. "Bam! And it's so comfy!!!" She was so excited. "I'm so tired!" She said. "Nice...looks good." I went closer to sit down on it and when I turned back she was on her bra and panties. "Alright..." I couldn't help but smile. I looked away trying to hide it. "Oh... I'm sorry, I just, it's a natural thing for me to just- alright sorry." She laughed. She walked over the windows and pulled the blackouts down. "Much better. Okay so I apologize in advance if my beeper starts ...beeping." She laughed and it actually made me laugh. "Silly." "There's a shirt over there. Some pants over there. You pick whatever you want." She said and got into bed with just a long shirt. I was out of place. This was just so new to me. I was liking it but, it was something new.
"How's like to work with kids?" I asked walking back to bed, but she was already asleep. I looked at her smiling. She's so cute. I covered her with the blanket and got in bed next to her.
