Souls that cross

chapter 12

Andy wasn't going to work today as her father was coming home from the hospital.  After taking Nathan to school she went to the hospital.
Pruitt: You finally arrived, I couldn't take it anymore!
Andy: Dad calm down.  You will still have to come to the hospital for chemo
Pruitt: Don't remind me.  Can I go home now?
Bailey: Mr. Herrera you can go home, but please avoid effort and rest
Andy: I'll take care of him
Andy brought her dad home and made sure he was okay
Pruitt: You don't have to control me, I can take care of myself.  When can I see Nathan?
Andy: I ​​don't know, he's still a little shaken by what happened.  Dad now I have to go to Vic, if you need help call me
Pruitt: Who will Nathan be with if you're at Vic's?
Andy: With Robert, they're going to see a movie at the cinema
Pruitt: Sullivan?  Is there something between you?
Andy: what?  No dad no!  We are friends and it helps me

In the station
Robert: you came to talk to me about something important
Ripley: Oh yeah.  I resign
Robert: why?
Ripley: Vic and I are trying to have a baby and since I already have so many years of experience I have decided to retire to enjoy life with the baby.  I will appoint you as battalion chief and Herrera as captain, but ...
Robert:... given our relationship we risk the promotion and the job
Ripley: Right
Robert: I can't leave her, she has suffered too much, her father has cancer, her almost husband is dead, she found herself raising a child alone at 25, I can't do this to her
Ripley: You know the other option too
Robert: We're not at that point in our relationship yet

Meanwhile Andy had arrived at Vic's house where Maya was also there
Maya: You finally arrived
Andy: I ​​need alcohol
Vic: there's vodka in the kitchen cabinet
Maya and Andy got the vodka and glasses to drink it, they both drank but Vic didn't
Andy: Vic don't you drink?
Vic: no, not today
Maya: Do you have to tell us something?
Vic: Luke and I talked about starting a family and I'm pregnant
Andy: Congratulations!
Maya: Greetings!  Does Lucas know?
Vic: no, I found out this morning, you are the first to know.  I don't know how to tell him, Andy you like you told Ryan
Andy: we were having dinner and I said so
Ripley: Honey, I'm home
Maya: Tell him
Vic: welcome back, I have to tell you something
Ripley: Do we have to go over there or can they know?
Andy: We already know actually
Vic: I'm pregnant!
Ripley: Really?  We will have a baby!
Vic: We will have a baby!
Ripley: when did you find out?
Vic: I've been feeling strange for a few days and so I took the test this morning, I didn't think it was positive, we've only been trying for a while, but instead ...
Ripley: I'm too happy!  We have to celebrate
Andy: We were already celebrating
Maya: join us
Ripley: So, Andy, how's your dad doing?
Andy: he's better, he's back home today, he'll have to go to the hospital for chemo but he's fine
They stayed there a little while before leaving, Andy went to Robert's house to pick up Nathan.
Andy: Hey I came to get Nathan
Robert: ok.  Nathan mom is here!
Nathan: I'm coming
Robert: it's coming
Andy: yes, I heard it.  How was the movie?
Robert: nice
Andy: Was he good?
Robert: He was great
Andy gave Robert a little kiss before her son arrived
Andy: Nathan say thanks to Robert
Nathan: Thanks
Andy: Thanks a lot
Robert watched Andy leave he knew he had to talk to her but he just couldn't do it.
