Moving on

68

I woke up and saw a note with my keys. Car like new.  Sam. Avery was waking up and screamed OUCH IT F HURTS. I NEED SOME PAIN MEDS. BABE YOU ARE ON SOME. BABE GO AHEAD AND CRY. YOUR HURTING HEART WISE.

JENNA JUST HELD ME. AND I CRIED.

Morning Kiki, Lisa. Morning Jenna. Sweetie I spoke to your PARENTS last night. We know you  won't go back to Boston even though they want your to. I suggested you stay with me and they agreed even though Jane won't.  She needs to grieve too and you two together...
She will focus more on you than herself.
YOU damn right Kiki. She needs to come home where she belongs. Jane we need you to heal and get stronger. It's not like you gals won't communicate with one another.  Babe they are correct.  I cannot believe Sam you agree with them.  I am  solely responsible for her.  Jane,  Frankie and Nina knew you would say that. They have given me temporary guardianship until she heals and you too.  Jane we all want what is best for you. LISA WHAT DO YOU THINK? I THINK JANE SHE WOULD BE BETTER AT KIKI'S NO HAVING TO CLIMB STAIRS.  SHE COULD STAY DOWNSTAIRS. WE KNOW THAT BUT KIDS ALWAYS WANT THEIR OWN ROOMS OR THEIR PARENTS.  FINE WHATEVER. AVERY CALL ME LATER ON. AUNTIE THEY ARE RIGHT.  I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU TOO SWEETIE.
BABE don't feel guilty. You are loved by so many who are wanting to help you. 
Aye sweetie. Morning Auntie izzy and Joey. We just ran into Jane mumbling fuck them. I feel sorry for my parents when she gets home. Aunties I will be staying with auntie Kiki recuperating and when we both are better than I will move back home.
Jenna don't you have to be at the farmer's market? Yes,  but my uncle knows my number one priority is you. I will go in tomorrow. Okay.
Well everyone please excuse us. We need to do her vitals and if everything is okay, she will he released today. Okay, thank you. We all waited outside. Kiki, Sam says my car is like new per her 📝 she left me. I am hoping I can stay there with her if not visit her. Jenna I have no problem you staying.  If it wasn't for you,  our Avery may not be here . Her parents spoke to the doctor and they told us that last night. Kiki I wish people would stop thanking me. I could of lost her. Izzy touched my arm.
You may go back in. She will need clothes. We cut her clothes so those are history. I brought her some clothes. May we take her a shower.  I will come back with another nurse.  We would rather do it.
Auntie do you know why my parents aren't here? No, they said they had some legal issues to deal with.. Hmm . okay. 
I wasn't going to tell her that they were trying to get Tommy a lawyer.  It seems  Tommy had one of his old con friends kill Chris.

Jenna was checking her voice mails.
Jenna what's wrong?  Its just one of my buddies who lives in Boston. THEY CALLED LAST NIGHT AND I FORWARDED ALL MY CALLS TO MY VOICE-MAIL . OH OK. LISA AND KIKI TOOK AVERY A SHOWER .
IZZY TOMMY. YES. WE DON'T WANT HER NOR JANE TO KNOW RIGHT NOW. OKAY. I DON'T LIKE LYING TO HER. JENNA WE ARE ONLY DOING THAT SO THEY BOTH CAN HEAL. THE DOCTOR SAYS THEY NEED TO BE STRESS FREE
FOR awhile. Okay but if she straight asks me I won't lie to her.
Babe you smell better. I cannot wait to take one myself and get out of these clothes.  Babe I am going to go home take a shower and pack a bag and get my jacket for work.  I will be at kikis in two hours. Okay.
I kissed Avery and left.
I get to my car really thinking I was going to have stains. I noticed I have new carpet and new seats. and side panels.
Sam this is Jenna . Thank you, but you didn't have to go that far. Yes I did. Avery would feel bad if she saw how bad it was. They really did try.  Her aunt JANE wanted me to get you a new car. I knew that would offend you. I took that route instead.  Thank you. I am sorry about Tommy.  I won't say anything
I received  a voice mail from a buddy of mine in Boston.  Izzy said they are not to know.  I told her if she asks me I won't lie. Okay thank you that is fair enough.
I will be staying at Kiki's while she recovers. I took today off but return tomorrow. I am only telling you this so no hidden agenda on my part.

Bye for now Sam bye Jenna .Babe Jenna realized it was all new carpeting and seats  and side panels. Dang she is observant.  I am glad you had your buddy who worked at the dealership sell you the items. Babe it wasn't cheap but worth every cent so our niece won't feel guilty. Let's get you upstairs slowly.
Hello Jane and Sam. Your food is upstairs already.  I am sorry for your loss.  Thanks Esmi.
I finally make it upstairs.  Sam I really not hungry.
Babe you have to eat. I don't want to lose you too. Sam I  know. You won't lose me. I will have the barley soup but not the sandwich.  Deal deal.
We eat the food and I take the tray downstairs.
Esmi she ate the barley soup.  I put more on her plate than what is needed . I knew you would get her to eat something.  I will prepare something light for dinner.
I bring up one pain pill and bottle of water. Babe wake up to take your medication than you can go to sleep again Okay. Auntie is there anything you two need before we head over to aunt Kiki's? No okay.
Aye sis how you feeling ? Tired. Okay. We are going to be at Kiki's.  We will return later. Thanks for the use of the jeep no problem.

Nina and I found a good lawyer. We hope will be able to get a lighter sentence.  Agree. My idiot brother.  Frankie don't he was doing it for our daughter.  I had something similar. Nina yes career or our daughter. Avery
Nina you have changed since moving out.  I know but she is my only daughter.
Lisa ordered lunch because she knew alot of us would be here for Avery. 
Lisa thanks for looking out for our daughter.  Frankie Nina she feels like family to me too...how sweet. What's wrong Nina? I felt a deja vu moment.  Why ? I don't know Lisa is was like Gloria is here? Oh, yeah Avery said she was having those alot too but Kiki told us it was an Asian thing growing up . It meant that your missing this person alot and this person is looking out for you.  What did I say? Your Asian saying about missing someone and that person is looking out for you. Yeah, just the other day I told Lisa and Avery that about Gloria when Avery had a moment.
Even though Gloria brought heartache to our family and she was the cause of me having to rebuild my home, I still love and miss her too. We better get going to say goodbye to our daughter.  We are leaving tomorrow to go see Juliet while we are here. We want her to know she still is important to our family. Please give her my love.  I cannot see her yet because she is not blood to me. We will. I am lying saying I am still married to Frankie so I can see her. They told Frankie who is allowed to see her.
Frankie said he and his wife were here to see our daughter.  I will lie to see my niece.  She means the world to me. Excuse us. Sure no problem.

Sweetie your mom and I are going to go. We want to spend some time with your aunt Jane and Sam before we leave to see Juliet.  Please give her my love. We will sweetie. Sweetie you know your dad and I have difficult jobs to leave unplanned.  I know mom especially during one of your busy season at work.  I know Juliet is important too. 
We hugged and kissed our daughter goodbye.  Frankie and Nina were the last ones to leave.  Jenna shows up. How is she doing?Better knowing alot of people love her. I am going to go see her now. I left a box of food on the counter for you to put away. I didn't want to be opening your refrigerator and putting things away. This is food that will go bad.  If I didn't eat it at my place.  Jenna please see my home as yours. Thanks Kiki.  Did you eat Already? No. I was more worried about Avery.  I will bring a plate to you before in a few. thank you.

Aye babe.  Hey Jenna.  I am sorry it took me longer.  My neighbor's needed help with their car before I left.  Its okay.
Kiki brings me a plate with Lisa.  As promised,  Jenna. The house is secured and alarm is on. We are going to go to bed early.  It's been a long day. Enjoy your dessert auntie and lids. I am going to kick your behind when you get better. Oh you wouldn't. I am too precious and adorable.  Here is your evening dosage of medication.  Thanks auntie.  I will make sure she takes it.

Jenna please eat the chicken is the 💣. Lisa had it ordered because she knew alot of people would come and see me. You just missed my parents.  They are leaving tomorrow to go see  Juliet before they leave back to work.  The holidays and summer are always a busy time for cops.
I eat my food and take my empty plate back to the kitchen and rinse it before putting it in the dishwasher.  I bring back us some bottles of water and glass of pineapple juice for Avery. 
Babe I stopped by the store to pick you up some juices.
Thanks Jenna.  Scoot your behind over so I can join you in  bed. Just kidding.  Babe how you feeling. I AM TIRED. ME TOO. I HAVE TO BE AT WORK BY SEVEN TO MEET MY UNCLE SO WE CAN GO TO THE FARMER'S MARKET. I WILL BRING YOU SOME HONEY FOR YOUR TEA. I ran out of it at my place.  Babe get some sleep.  I will take a nap with you. 
Jenna placed her head on my chest and fell asleep right away. I know my loved ones stayed up late and some didn't go to sleep because of Chris.  I named my baby girl,  Juliet Olivia Holiday Rizzoli but didn't tell anyone.  My family is sad enough  because of me. I nod off.
Babe I am glad Nina and Frankie
are leaving tomorrow. It was good to hear that even with the problems I brought to them that they still miss and love me. Of course,  we all do or did.  We nodded off. 1
