“Don’t worry everything is going to be fine. I’m not leaving till I know everything is fine.” He said kissing me.
It was now Sunday morning and I was laying in my hospital bed of course with Lance by my side due to the fact that he refused to leave. I was feeling better than the day before and was ready to get out of there soon but I had no clue as to when they would release me. Around 1 in the afternoon my doctor came in to give me his final words.
“Hello Miss Hunter how are we feeling today?” he said as he approached me looking down at his clipboard.
“I see that. You’re looking much better too. We’ve had you under careful observation and there is good news and bad news.”
“Well give me the bad news first.”
“The bad news is that those bruises are going to be with you a little while longer and give you a little bit of pain but nothing severe.”
“And the good news would be?”
“It turns out that both you and your baby are going to be just fine and we are discharging you in 1 hour.”
“Our baby is ok? Are you absolutely sure doctor?” I said with a grin.
“101% sure. I’ll be back in about 30 minutes. I have to get your Aunt to sign some forms before you can leave.” he said as he walked out of the room.
“Oh my god Lance did you hear that. The baby is fine. I was so worried I had this gut feeling I was going to lose it. God is definitely on our side today.” I got up from the bed and gently lifted my bruised arms to hug Lance.
Like scheduled I was out of that hospital a little bit before 2. All 6 of us, Kristin, Tiff, Alana, my Aunt, Lance and myself got into my Aunt’s van and headed back to my house where we were greeted by David, Tracey, and Hannah.
“Look who it is. Welcome home Jen.” David said carefully giving me a hug.
“Thanks David, I owe you a huge thank you for helping me. You’re such a good guy. But listen to me from now on. Get some better friends.” I joked.
“Jen honey I am so sorry my son did this to you. They better keep his little delinquent ass in jail. I can’t believe I bore that child.” Tracey said apologizing time after time.
“Tracey, this world is full of bad apples. It’s not your fault he’s gone bad.”
“I know but still if there is anything I can do you let me know.”
“Thanks.” I smiled. “Hey Hannah, how’s my main girl?”
“I’m great. How are you?”
“Much better.”
“How’s the baby. I heard you were pregnant.”
“Yea. They were afraid I was going to lose it but the baby is good too.”
“Ok listen girls, you know the layout of Jen’s house back in Maryland it’s the same as mine so you know we’ve got plenty of extra space so claim your rooms and get comfy and then we’ll order out for pizza then go pick it up and have a calm and relaxing night.”
“Thanks so much.” Tiffany said as her, Kristin, and Alana went up the stairs.
“And David why don’t you stay around till later tonight and help improve the male ratio in this house.”
“Sounds cool. Listen I’m gonna go in the living room and catch some of the game if ya need me just gimme a yell.” she nodded her head in agreement.
“Well Jen I’m glad your home and doing well again but Hannah and I have to be going down to the jail we have an appointment with Devin. So we’ll come visit another time.” Tracey said as her and Hannah gathered their things.
“Thanks, tell Devin to watch out for those guys named Butch, I hear they have their own sexual obsessions that Devin might be interested in.”
“That’s one of his greatest fears. You’d be amazed at how much of a mama’s boy he is going to turn into after this.” Tracey laughed as her and Hannah left for the prison.
“Well Lance I take it you still want to stay around and help for awhile. But please go home for an hour get yourself a shower and some fresh clothes then come right back. You won’t miss anything in an hour.”
“That’s a good idea. I think I better do that. I’ll be back shortly.” He said.
“Ok. Then you can stay in Jen’s room I guess there really isn’t any worries about what you two will do anymore is there?” she laughed as she walked into the living room.
“Funny! Things can still happen you know.” I yelled to her.
“I know, and they probably will . Crazy kids.” we all laughed.
“Well I’ll see you soon.” Lance said with a quick kiss following and he was off.
