Medical malpractice case

Chapter 19 Noah

This past month has been nothing but boring. Jamie really has an effect on me. Does she really make my life less boring.  I mean, yeah, she does, I was miserable, but ever since she came into my life, she brought light and lit up my life. She turned it upside down.

I sigh and clean my house. Throwing all Jenna's belongings and memories. I put away pictures of us. I can't help but feel a single tear drop on my face. I quickly wipe it away with one smooth motion.

I tape up the boxes and head to my car. I open the trunk and stack the boxes on top of each other in the truck.

I drive to the post office and sign the papers for the boxes to get a cargo lift to my parents' house. They can do whatever they want with it. That's not my problem anymore. I love Jenna. I loved Jenna.

Loved. Past tense. She's gone. I have Jamie now.

I drive back to my house and start building something. I put it all together and put it up against the wall.

After I finish my mini spring cleaning. I drive to the hospital for my shift. I drive to the hospital park it and head inside.

I walk to my room, put on my coat, and head to talk to Cameron for a bit. I always do that. Besides, I have time before my next appointment. I walk to his room, smiling at everyone I pass by.

I finally came to Cameron's room. I open it and freeze. My eyes widen with hurt as I see her sitting there. I hold back tears. She's been coming a lot here, I can tell.

I turn the other way and start walking towards the front desk.

"Hey, can you check something for me real quick?"

"Yeah, for sure. How can I help?" Stella, the receptionist, says

"Jamie Scott. How long has she been coming to Cameron." I say and wait, drumming my fingers against the desk.

"A month exactly." I feel the world suck my breath out as I hear those words. I head back to my office.

I try to contain the anger in me, but i can't control it anymore. I slam my palm against my desk and slide it over the desk, pushing all the things off, breaking all of the stuff on it.

No came to no. The globe Jenna got me. It broke. No. I kneel down and gather the glass.

"Noah, can you hear me?" I wake up to the sound ringing in my ears and vision blurry. I open my eyes slightly. Blue eyes looking back at mine. I don't know what happened. Where I am.

"Jame?" I mutter. She nods. I suddenly feel drop on my face, and it's not my own. I feel arms wrap around me. I snake my hand around her waist, hugging her back. I sit up and realize I'm in a hospital room and not as a doctor but as a patient.

I look around and also realize I'm on the hospital bed. "What-" I mutter but quickly get cut off by the sound of beeping. I look over to my right and see my hand bandaged.

"Jame. What happened?"

"I don't know exactly, but they found you unconscious bleeding. You lost a lot of blood, so they brought you here."

"I was going to die?" She nods, wiping away her tears.

"But you didn't." She strokes my hair. Her gaze falls on my Jae. "Your beard is uneven. I'll shave it for you once we get home." She says softly.

"Home?"

"Yeah Noah, our home. I'm moving in with you."

"But I thought you said-" I say but quickly get off by her smashing her lips against mine.

"Noah, I need to tell you something." She says, pulling away from the kiss. I nod gesturing for her to continue. "Promise you won't get mad?" I shake my head. She's getting me worried. I can't even form a sentence right now.

"Noah. I love you." She blurts out. My face lights up with relief and happiness. I pull her closer, practically on my lap. I kiss her. I kiss her until we're both breathless.

"I." I kiss her ,love." I kiss her again. "You." I end the sentence with another kiss.

"Yeah?" She asks. I nod.

"Yeah. You're mine now. I won't let you go." I say "ever." I add.

I drive back to our house now. I pull in the parking and park the car. I quickly get out and open the door for her, extending my hand for her to take. She takes it, and I lead her towards my flat.

We reach my floor and open the door. I put my hand over her eyes for the surprise. I walk her to the living room.

"Open now." I whisper. She opens her eyes slowly to a newly built bookshelf. She turns to me and hugs me. I hug her back. Wrapping her in a tight embrace.

"What?" She manages to say "why though?"

"I saw that you have books that don't fit on your bookshelf, so I built it for you." I say.

"Noah, did I tell you I love you?" She says
This is our new word. Love. What's between us. Love.

"Jamie, did I ever tell you I love so much I'd die for you no scratch that. I'd kill for you." I watch her face as her cheeks flush with red. I smile. "Don't act all shy on me now." I say she smiles and nudges me. Taking Harry from his car seat.

"Where will this little guy sleep?" She asks, holding Harry against her chest.

"Right this way, m'lady." I say as I gesture down the hall. I open the door to my bedroom, which has my usual king-sized bed but a small crib built next to it. 

"Noah." She says with awe. I smile.

"I didn't know what kind you like to get. So if that one doesn't work out. I got three other ones. I just need to build them." I point at the three other boxes on the side.

"Noah, this will be the one. There's no need to buy many."

"Suit yourself then. These will be for our future kids." I say, watching her closely to see her reaction. I can see she's holding back a smile. Truth to be told. I think I found the one.
