ONE HEART

Chapter 4 Here we go!

You heard her said Nick being jovial. Well, we don't want to wait. Do we? asked Sharon. I thought we have decided to go ahead. Nick looked a bit embarrassed. "Sorry," said Nick if it sounded like I was being flippant. Of course, I'm on the same page as you. I can't wait for us to have kids. He went over and gently kissed her on the lips. Before you both leave. Is there anything else you need to know or ask me? asked Dr. Nate. I don't think so, is there Sharon? asked Nick. No, I'm good said Sharon. Are you good with the injection side of things? asked Dr. Nate. I am said Sharon with a smile. Your good to go then. They all shook hands before Sharon and Nick left the room. Nick went to the pharmacy, to pick up all the injections. Let's go home and drop all this off said Nick. We might as well said, Sharon. I don't want it at Crimson Lights for the staff to nose at. And I don't want to leave it in the car, while I'm at work said Nick. Arriving home, Sharon went straight into the kitchen and put their coffee machine on. Where shall we put all these boxes of injections? asked Nick.

Why don't we take them up to our room for now said Sharon. I'm going to have to inject every morning before work anyway. That's true said Nick. You're not starting until Monday, though right? Err yeah, Dr. Nate wants me to start at the beginning of a week, so it's easier for us to keep track of how many weeks we've done. That makes sense said Nick. Sharon had the coffee on the living room table, by the time Nick came down from taking the boxes up to their bedroom. "Thanks," said Sharon as he came and sat on the sofa next to her. You are so welcome he said as he leaned over for a kiss. Which Sharon duly gave him. After a little break at home. Nick drove Sharon to Crimson and dropped her off on his way to work. I'll pick you up around six said Nick. Giving her a peck on the cheek before she left the car. What shall we do about dinner tonight? asked Sharon before she got out. How about we pick up some Mexican on the way home? Another take-out night? said, Sharon. Well, we have had a very busy day said Nick. And I'm sure after all the prodding you've had to have done today, you would love the night off cooking. Sharon smiled. 

You have a good point said Sharon. Mexican it is then. Don't do too much today said Nick as she was leaving. You've had a lot of physicals today. Not to worry said Sharon I have a full staff rota coming in, so I should be able to take it easy. Good said Nick I will see you later. Have a good day said Sharon before she shut the car door. Nick was mouthing to her. She couldn't hear him. She guessed it was along the lines of. Have a nice day too. She laughed to herself as she approached the doors of Crimson Lights. Good Morning Mrs. Newman said Mandy as she entered. Everything okay? asked Sharon. Yes everything is ready to go said Mandy. We only had a couple in when we opened at eight. Usually, the crowds start coming in around midday, ready for lunchtime. That's great, well I'll head for the office. I need to get some paperwork done. If you need me, you know where I am said, Sharon. No problem said Mandy as Sharon walked past her and grabbed a coffee as she headed for the office, out the back of the coffee house. Sharon popped out a few times for some more coffee and a bite to eat at one point. 

At around five-thirty, Mandy knocked on the door and asked Sharon if she needed her to lock up. No! No! I will come out now, and help with the clearing up. You head off. Are you sure? said, Mandy. I don't mind helping. "Mandy" you came in early and locked up for me the other day. It's fine, have a nice evening. Thanks, Sharon, I will. See you tomorrow. Sharon put all her paperwork away, and put the ledgers into the safe with today's takings. The coffee House was starting to pick up lots of business, which made Sharon very happy. Nick came in to pick her up. Hi, he said and kissed her on the cheek, as she was putting chairs onto the tables so she could mop the floor before she left. Here let me help, he said. You go and get the cleaning equipment ready. Thank you said Sharon as she left to go and get the mop and bucket. In no time, she was locking the patio section up. Okay, let me just prep the coffee machine for the morning, then we can go. Great said Nick, because I am starving and salivating, thinking about all that Mexican I'm about to eat.
