Armani

"So I see you've dilated a little bit."

"How are you feeling?" I asked my patient.

"Nervous".

"Dr. Armani are you sure you've got to go on vacation?"

"It's hard enough this being my first child but having your colleague Dr. Daniels deliver my baby is pushing me over the edge." She said.

"Oh honey don't worry. My cell will be on. I will have access to my email. Text or email me if you NEED to." I said.

She nodded her head.

"Alright Hun. You can go see Nurse Cummings for your induction date. See you when I get back."

She extended her arms.

Poor baby

I pulled her in for a hug. "It's okay honey." I said.

I walked in my office making sure I left my note for Dr. Daniels with instructions for my patients & left my contact information from the hotel I'll be staying in.

Now I had to go home & pack. When I got home I began to get excited. After 4 long years of building my medical practice from the ground up I could take a week of relaxation to just unwind & have fun. I still couldn't believe Kemani had asked me to go to Jamaica with him. No what I couldn't believe was that I said yes. I mean the guy was terribly rude, obnoxious, a real ASS. But underneath all of thag he was a sweet guy. This trip he said was an apology. An extra ticket so he figured why not. Hmmm...

Kemani

*Flashback*

"Hi. Is Dr. Stevens available?"

"Just a second sir."

I nodded. My palms were sweaty. I was nervous as hell. Come on dude. Get a grip. Stop being a bitch, I thought. Then she came.

"Hi. Is Lana okay? Is something wrong with the baby?" She asked genuinely worried.

"No. I uhhh...I actually came to ask you something." I said nervously.

"Okay. What is it?" She asked.

"Okay well....I ummm...I have an extra plane ticket to Jamaica. It's not like a ummm romantic getaway...I just ummm don't know anyone else to go." I said while stuttering.

She began giggling.
Then I started laughing.
Then we stopped. Our eyes locked. There was something there but she stopped it dead on.

"Well. I don't see why not. My vacation is coming up. So let's do it." She said.

"Cool. Put your number in my phone. I'll call you later with details of the trip." I said.

She nodded & entered it in my phone.

"Well see you soon."

*present*

Our flight takes off in the morning so I put my bags by the front door & went to bed.
