A Throne and a Baby

Chapter 1

"Mom, what's wrong" checking her over "it's over"

"I know but I'm just a little nervous"

"You don't have to be nervous"

"Okay" as we left the airport and caught the cab and headed toward the

hotel that had an indoor pool and great fitness center. There rooms where

beautiful, it wasn't fancy but it was one of my top five. Arriving in

front of the hotel where the valet helped with our bags

"Hello, welcome to the Denmark hotel, how may I help you"

"Reservation for Ellie and Gloria William" Handing her both of our

passport to make a copy of it. While she was getting everything in check; I

was looking at the walls that had picture of sceneries around the area.

"okay your room is ready for you if you put your bags here well have our

bag boy bring them up" she continued "By the way my name is Layla so if you

need me I'm here"

"thank you" grabbing my purse and led Gloria to our rooms which were on

the second floor.

"Okay mom I'm here" staring at the room number on the door, "yours is the

one next door, if you need anything just come over."

Nodding her head, she walked over to her door. Before she reached her door

I yelled down to her

"we rest today then tomorrow we have the time of our lives."

"Okay, we have three weeks here then we head for the states" shaking my head

and laughed.

"Yes of course we will leave in three weeks"

She nodded and went into her room. I threw my shoes in the corner and

flopped on the bed. As I closed my eyes my cell phone ranged even before

looking at the number I knew it was the hospital.

"hello Ellie"

"hi Chloe, what's up" knowing my friend voice anywhere

"sorry to interrupted your vacation with your mom"

"It's okay so what is it you need"

"well we were looking for the fundraiser notes you wrote but can't find them."

"Oh, where is Max he should know where they are"

"I know but he had a family emergency so he left early"

"Okay, it's should be in my files under the F. notes on my desk"

"thanks, have a great time"

"I will" hanging up the phone leaning back on the bed post. Walking toward the window glancing

down onto the street below, Something caught my attention there was a man

with a monkey dancing on the side of the street there was a couple of

people around the pair deciding that it would be perfect to see what they

were doing. Heading to Gloria's door when I thought about it she would be

asleep so I went on down by myself. Taking my camera out of my luggage

this should be a great picture. Walking to the other side of the street

you could hear the music on in the valley. The man was making the music

while the monkey was dancing to the beat, taking a couple of pictures of

the group when the monkey walked up to me with a hat that held money in

it.

"Here you go" handing him some of the change from my pocket.

The monkey then walked back to the man to hand him the hat, taking

another picture before heading back to the hotel room. These will be great

to put on Facebook, grinning to myself walking past the desk where Layla

was talking to another woman in the same uniform.

Getting back to my room, excited about what I was going to do with them.

Glancing at the clock it was seven, usually around this time I would be

going through charts at the hospital. Thinking that it would be a great

idea to go to sleep, Heading to the bed I turned on the TV the first thing

that popped on was a commercial about pop that could turn your whole mouth

purple. Leaning back in the bed wondering what I should do other than lay

her when I started to nod off. Closing my eyes I just past out.

There was a knock on the door that woke me from the bed. Rushing to the

door it was Gloria staring at me.

"Honey are you feeling okay"

"why" not understanding what she meant

"well this is a vacation but we really haven't done anything"

"why do you say that "confused as to what she was saying

"It's because you have slept for twelve hours and haven't heard me knocking

on the door for four of those twelve hours"

"really"

she smiled and nodded "yes" moving over so that she could come in with no

problem.

"At first I thought you left me but then I heard the TV on the other side

of the wall."

"True I wouldn't leave TV on without any reason"

"that is why I have been knocking on the door, thinking that something

happened to you"

"mom, more and likely it's just that I haven't got any sleep for more than

six hours"

"oh sweetie, if I would have known that I would have just left you alone."

"No, I'm just grateful that you did, know if you let me get dressed we can high

tail it out of here and start our journey"

"alright I will wait here"

"okay"
