Sundays were cool and relaxing as the days got busy.Harry was lying by the pool when the housekeeper announced
" It's an urgent call for you Mr Thompson".
Harry crossed the threshold and answered the call.
" Hello I'm speaking from the hospital,
your wife just delivered a baby boy
congratulations."said the nurse.
Harry dressed and in no time reached the hospital.
" This way sir ," she said leading him towards the nursery.
There were several babies few awake but most sleeping.She opened the door then taking a new born in her arms stood beside him.He was overjoyed as he held the bundle in his arms.
" Annette will be very happy," he said.
" She's still in the recovery room and should be well in a few hours."said the nurse.
He then sat and waited for hours.He dozed off.It was after an hour that he heard a voice.
" Good afternoon sir I'm Anastasia Veronski a friend of Annette."
"Good afternoon," replied Harry .
" Annette is out of danger but she needs rest, would you like something to drink," she asked.
" Maybe some water," he agreed.
She looked at her watch.
" I was going out for lunch would you like to join me?" she asked
" Yes," he conceded after a moments hesitation.
They went to the hospital canteen where they ate a meal and Anastasia shared all the tales of their college experiences.
As she spoke to him he seemed to be in a trance absorbing her words and
scrutinizing her .She was an attractive woman with hazel eyes and
a remarkable long neck and that gave way to the cleavage which he couldn't help noticing as the buttons of her shirt had been undone.He smiled at her and seemed absorbed in her conversation.
Harry was grateful that his wife and child were safe and had been looked after by none other than her friend.
