A Tribe United Again

Chapter 8

Marcy awoke to her alarm going off so she hurried to turn it off before Mal woke up. She climbed out of the bed and shuffled to the bathroom.

After using the toilet, she washed her hands before beginning her morning routine. She washed her face and brushed her teeth in intervals going back and forth with products until both her face and teeth sparkled.

After applying Chapstick to her clean mouth, she piled her hair up atop her head and put on a shower cap and put in her contacts. She ran her shower then took her medicine while she waited for it to heat up.

When both were completed, she disrobed and climbed beneath the heavy stream of water and let out a sigh of relief. It was her first shower since the triplets were born. Washing in the sink didn't cut it!

She used her favorite Hawaiian Ginger body wash to wake up as she danced along to Marc Anthony's I Need to Know.

Once she was clean, she exited the shower, pink and shiny.

Mal shuffled in with a yawn then realized she was wet and naked. "Hey."

"Nope. The triplets are two weeks old."

He pouted before going to the water closet to pee.

She left and went to the closet. She was still wearing adult diapers but no one had to know that. She felt like dressing sexy. But respectable. She was going to a hospital after all.

She chose a white button down shirt with long sleeves and a black vest and tie. Going through her bottoms, she found a pair of high waisted black jean shorts.

She found black decorative socks and heeled black booties along with a black bra. She hurried to slather on lotion and powder before walking under a cloud of fragrance. She quickly dressed and put on understated jewelry.

When that was done, she took down her hair and began styling it before putting on makeup, a bright look for daytime but not clownish.

She gathered her purse and sailed out as Mal walked in, upset she was fully clothed. She went upstairs to feed the triplets the little bit she could then collected Riley and the twins to go down to the kitchen, dropping her purse and heels at the front door.

Manny spoke as he served up breakfast, reminding her that he'd packed her lunch.

She thanked him as she sat the kids and helped them eat. She ate toast and drank apple juice before kissing her children and breezing out.

She took her lunch and snack to her office to collect her things then went to the front door to put on her shoes and black leather jacket.

Mal was coming down the stairs with Lisa as she was gathering all her things to leave. He made her kiss him.

Lisa wanted at least a hug.

Marcy was unamused as she left the house. She went around to the garage and climbed in Yokohama. She set her things in the passenger seat and turned the car on before putting on her seatbelt and sliding her sunglasses on.

She backed out of her space and drove around the fountain in front to exit the long drive then drove away from the property towards St. Lucia's Hospital.

Mercedes looked around as she walked in the hospital. It was so big and beautiful. She went in the staff entrance and through to the pediatric center. She tried to keep the directions in mind as she gawked at her surroundings.

Finally she made it to the office they'd given her. She knew she'd be sharing with two other more experienced doctors. She pressed her badge to the black box on the wall and the sliver of clear line lit up green and a click was heard.
