Benton looked at the box of supplies everyone had gathered and dropped off in his office over the past two hours. It had grown to the point it was overfilling. He grabbed a trolly to help him get everything on it so he could wheel it out to his car. He was eternally grateful that no one had asked any questions of him. They seemed to not care at the fact he wanted these items or the fact there was a baby, let alone a newborn baby, in his office. He had fashioned a wrap to be able to hold the baby and have use of his hands.
He had blankets wrapped around the newborn. Benton went out to his car and loaded up the backseat with the box with all the supplies. He looked at everything that was there and then down to the infant. That was the one thing he didn’t have. A car seat. Though he didn’t plan for an accident, he knew that he wouldn’t feel comfortable driving with a newborn without the proper seat for it. He wasn't sure how he was going to get one at this time of night.
That was when one of the ones he called his minions walked up next to him. “I thought I would let you borrow this.” He stated as he looked at Jonathon. “I won’t need it for a couple of days. It will allow you to get one for yourself.”
“Thank you,” Benton started as he looked at the man before him. “I was just thinking about that.”
“I know you haven’t said who that is or where its mother is, but by the way you are acting, I have an idea. The nurses upstairs were talking about a woman they had to kick out after she had an emergency c-section. Apparently, there was a problem with the billing and who would take care of it. That doesn’t matter. They were ordered by the director of the hospital to get her out on the street and not to give her anything.”
“Really?” Benton asked, somewhat surprised by that reaction. Then he thought about the little weasel of a man that ran the hospital. Everything was a bottom line for him, and he cared nothing for human life. Somehow the reaction he had to the girl for whatever reason. Didn’t surprise him. He was starting to really hate this place.
“Yeah.” He replied. “The nurses didn’t ask any questions either. It isn’t normal for us to be upstairs and gathering anything. They would actually turn their backs so we could get what we wanted, and they wouldn’t see. It was like they had their own agenda.”
“They probably wanted to help, but they couldn’t,” Benton said.
“I know, doc. Just take care of the girl. From what I heard, she has gone through a lot today. Also, just a word that I overheard. The stepmother that she came in with might have done something to her to cause this.” The man said as he looked at the doctor who was cradling the baby. They walked back into the building and down the stairs to the basement.
The man parted ways with Benton in the main hallway. He continued towards the back of the hallway, where no one ever went. He rounded the corner to the room he placed her in to find her nearly hanging off the wheelchair. He looked at her, and then he helped get her into the seat a little better.
That was when he really looked her over. Though she was asleep, she was a beauty. Though she was young and he didn’t know how young, he had to say she was an older teenager. He was hoping that she was at least of legal age. Though right now, he didn’t care. He started to walk, pushing the wheelchair slowly out the door. He had wrapped a blanket over her shoulders, knowing that she might not feel it, but it was cold, and he didn’t want her to get sick on top of everything else.
As he neared the car, he unlocked the car, and then he placed the brake on for the wheelchair. He lifted the baby out of the carrier he had fashioned out the blankets and then placed him in the car seat and fastened the straps around the baby. He was careful to tuck the blankets around the baby. He had seen many people do it around him though he hoped he was doing it right now.
That was when there was a sound from in back of him. He turned and looked and saw that Jade was now awake. Though she was looking around and didn’t know what was going on. He hoped that he wouldn’t have to tell her everything again as he smiled at her. “Where are we?” she asked softly as her eyes were trying to focus on him.
“The parking lot.” He chuckled. “I am getting the baby ready in the car seat. Then I will help you get up and in the car.”
“Where are we going?” she asked.
“To my house.” He said as he looked at her. “You need somewhere to go, and right now, that is your best option. Remember, I am a doctor. You are going to need one around.”
“Okay.” She said as she closed her eyes again.
“Jade, I need you to stay with me.” He said as he chuckled and then moved to get her in the car. That was not as easy as he thought it would be. He had to basically lift her without stretching her incision. She should have never been placed in the wheelchair and left in the front of the hospital in the first place. After getting her in the car, he walked around the car and then got in to begin to drive back to his townhouse.
His life just got a lot more complicated. What had been a boring and slow night in the department had turned into something that he knew was going to change his life. He smiled to himself as he thought about having two more people in his townhouse to share his space with.
Bonus ChapterTime went on in jade grew. Jonathan knew that it was almost time for her do you give birth again and she was getting a little nervous. It was quite understandable how she could be nervous about the whole experience that she had with her first baby. He did everything he possibly could to make sure that she felt a little more comfortable than everything. Though as she was getting bigger her size was a huge factor because both of the babies seemed to be a little bit bigger than normal.it was getting to the point where everything was starting to hurt to walk and she was having quite a bit of difficulty doing anything for any period of time. It was just a matter of time before she could get back to her old ways of working really hard on everything. Though she needed time to rest though. Luckily the doctors had gone over her condition in the previous cesarion scar and she was cleared to be able to have a
It had been six months since the trial for diane's criminal actions. Jonathan and jade had bought and restyled an entire house in the time that it had taken. Jonathan only work part time most of the time now. And he also did most of his consulting from home. He was able to set up a virtual section of the house where he could actually do 90% of his work. The hospital actually found that it was easier and he was able to work with multiple different hospitals as well. He was creating a new way into science and the way that he could do his job even better.raylin was now over a year old and he was beginning to walk a lot better than he ever had before. He basically had started to run throughout the entire house. Jade was often found trying to catch him. And then the laughter would echo throughout the entire house. Jonathan couldn't believe his luck at the fact that he seemed to have everything in the world that he ever wanted. And he had found it all b
Soon it was the beginning of the criminal trial. Neither one of them wanted to have to deal with this specially with Jonathan starting his new job. Though it wasn't nearly as stressful and he was working during the day which made things a lot easier for them to begin again. He enjoyed being with her as much as possible and he was hoping in the long run that it was going to workout. She had already begun to do a few home projects that he thought that other people would enjoy doing as well. He suggested that she began some kind of an online forum to be able to do that and she did with great success.And also gave her an outlet to be able to talk to other women. And it gave her a platform that she could begin to deal with all of the things that had happened in her life. She was able to give a voice to other people as well. The when everything went on to the news about the criminal trial it was one of those situations where she really didn't want the same anymore sh
Knowing that the trial was done but they still had to wait for the verdict they waited together. They talked about all of the chances that they were going to be able to have to make sure that this could never happen again to anyone else. And they will also we're going to make sure that the hospital was brought down piece by piece. If it took removing one work at a time they were going to make sure that they did that together.Over the past few days they had to actually grown as a couple and the way that they reacted to each other was even more potent than it had been. Jonathan knew that they were going to wait to actually talk about having another child together until after the criminal trial though she had been dropping hints as well. It had been such a long time since she had even remembered what it was like to be pregnant even though it was only about seven months. It seemed like a lifetime ago to her. And she hoped that everything that had happ
Jake tried to smile knowing that I couldn't possibly work. She looked at him with her wide eyes and then she reached out and touched his face. “Jonathan do you know how I actually feel about you?”“no I don't.” he replied as he looked at her and he could feel his muscles pulling into her direction.“I married you because I had some kind of feeling for you. I didn't know what it was at the time I always chalked it up that it was more gratitude than anything else. But that's not the case anymore. Throughout this entire thing you have been by my side and you have been the one to help me without question. You allowed me to have the time that I needed to figure everything out including how to be a mother and a life. You haven't tried to it forced me to do anything that I wasn't willing to do and you haven't tried to change any bit about me. I always thought that that was what marriage actually was. This low ability to change someb
Over the next day J just kind of sat on the couch and basically did whatever she possibly could to avoid any contact with anyone. The only one that she wanted to be around was the baby. It was like she was cutting Jonathan off and it was really starting to get to him. There were only so many times that he could rearrange the boxes in the garage or move things around in the house. He was starting to feel like everything was going downhill rather quickly and he was losing any ground that he could have had.what's even more important with it he was starting to feel like everything that he had begun to actually wish and dream for was gone. The family that he wanted to raise with her was disappearing by the moment. Even at her where she wasn't quiet and now she was just basically shutting everybody out. She had learned a little bit about herself and her parentage but it was enough and she wanted to know more but she didn't have anyone to ask. She didn't
