I stepped down from the plane as Danny stretched forth his hands to help guide me down the plane with a gentle smile on his face.
I was getting lazy every day by day as my due date was drawing near. I wish I could get this baby out of the way and get on with my life but that's not possible. Danny and I walked down the airport to where a taxi was waiting for us.
I was expecting Michael to be waiting for us at the airport but I suddenly remember that he had to be with Nina at the hospital.
I can't believe that, that son of a bitch had the nerve to kidnap my friend. Anyway, I'm glad he's dead. To think I introduced them in the first place.
“ What are you thinking about so seriously?” Danny's voice cut me out from my inner rumble as I turned to smile at him.
He opened the car door for me and I got in. He got in beside me and signaled for the taxi driver to move after depositing our bags into the car.
“I was thinking that maybe If I didn't introduce Austin and Nina. All this might not have happened” I told him regretting my decision back then to introduce them.
Danny reached out to hold me closer to him, he pecked me gently on my forehead “ It's alright. It's all in the past now, what matters most is that Nina is well and okay ” Danny told me comforting me gently as he would to a little child.
I pulled out of his embrace just as we heard his phone ring. Danny reached out to his back pocket and pulled out his phone after mumbling an apology to me.
“ I'm sorry baby, I have to pick this call, it's Michael” I nodded as he received the call. I was eager to know what Michael wanted to say, I nudged him to put it on speaker which he did.
“Hey Man! Where are you?” Michael's tired voice greeted us from the other line.
The last time we spoke to Andrea he had told us that Michael had refused to leave the hospital after that incident, he was afraid that something might happen to Nina if he did leave. Which was my number one assignment now back in New York, it was to make Michael leave the hospital.
“ We are on our way to the hospital, we've just landed,” Danny told Michael who grunted in response.
I guess Aurora was bothering him with some documents again as that has been what she has been doing this past few days bringing documents to Michael at the hospital to sign which confirmed what Andrea had told us.
“ I'm sorry that I couldn't come to pick you up at the airport, ” Michael apologized to us. I tuned out of their conversation as I turned to gaze out of the window. I still don't know how to face Nina, I wished Deborah could be prosecuted as the mastermind of the kidnapping but we can't do that without the evidence.
I turned to look at Danny who was through with his phone call and was now looking intently at me “ Do you think Nina still has the evidence” I asked him, I wish she had them so Deborah could be prosecuted.
“ I don't think so. They didn't see anything on her. Maybe if she wakes, we'll be able to find out the truth ” Danny replied, pulling me closer to his body. I snuggled closer to him and closed my eyes, as the sound of his breathing calmed me to sleep.
I awoke sometimes later to see that we were still on the road. I've forgotten how far the airport is to the new Thompson's Hospital.
Speaking of hospitals, I suddenly remembered that I had an appointment with my gynecologist today. I quickly turned to Danny to tell him. I tapped him lightly on the shoulder seeing as he was dozing off “ Any problem ?” He asks me as soon as he wakes, causing me to smile. He's always worried about me and rarely sleeps at night.
“ I suddenly remembered my appointment with Doctor Sanders today. Do you think you can drop me off there?” I asked him. Danny nodded and turned to give the direction to the taxi driver who nodded and took the route of the hospital.
The driver pulled into the hospital as I scrambled out with Danny after me. He came over to hug me closer to his body as he guided me into the hospital.
I smiled at the nurse in the reception as she took my name down before leading me in the direction of the doctor's office.
Danny and I took the elevator to the second floor where Doctor Sander's office was located. Immediately we stepped out of the elevator, we could hear voices coming out from the doctor's office.
I turned to stare at Danny “ I think Doctor Sander has a visitor. Maybe we should wait for her outside here ”.
“ Yes, come and stand over here while I find you a chair ” I smiled at him as he turned to walk down the corridor looking for a vacant chair.
The doctor's office was slightly opened so I could hear what they were talking about. It seems she was congratulating the woman on having a healthy baby, I was about to tune out on them when what the woman said next caught my attention
“ Doctor Sander, about the paternity of my baby, could we keep it between us just as we've discussed from the onset?” I was shocked. Could that be Deborah in there? I wanted to hear more so I left where I was and moved closer to the door to eave_dropped on them.
“ Yes, Miss. Melton ” Doctor Sanders' reply, shocked me as I gasped. Danny came back with the chair in his hands, I motioned for him to be quiet as I continued listening to them. I can't believe that it's Deborah in there.
“ My promise to you still stands, no one will know that the baby's not Mr. Thompson's ” Doctor Sanders continued slowly. I gasped and dragged Danny down the corridor into an empty room as soon as I heard Deborah coming out of the office.
