Our Crazy Little Thing Called Family-Sequel to Take Good Care of My Baby

Chapter 14- You Think That Will Ever Be Us?

  "Molly will you please lay down for a couple of hours" Jorge asked Molly as he walked towards her. "I'm fine" Molly said lifting her head out of her hands in her lap. "Elma said in her text that you were in the waiting room. I thought Cris was here" Jorge said taking a seat on the floor next to her. "Oh I'm too old for sitting on the floor" he groaned. "All those private jets have made you soft" she said. "But they don't give me a pain in the ass" he joked trying to make her laugh. "Nah that's Ronaldo's job" she muttered.

"What has he done now?" Jorge asked not knowing if he really wanted to know. "Nothing" Molly muttered. "Here" he said placing a book in her lap. "What's this?" she asked. "A book of crosswords and puzzles. I thought it would be something for you to do to stop you thinking bad thoughts" he said. "It's hard not to think those things Jorge. But thanks" she said. "I wish I could snap my fingers and make everything ok" Jorge said. "Life would be much simpler if that was possible" she said. "You know the waiting room is much more comfy than this floor" he said. "I'd rather be here" she said.

"I can make it so that you are on your own if you would prefer" he said. "We're not exactly good at avoiding each other" she said. "Cris would probably say you are good at avoiding him at times" he said. "Then he should get the hint" she said. "Molly" she heard someone say and she looked to her left to see Eva coming towards her. "Dr. Luiz mentioned the blood transfusion to you earlier" she said. "Ya he did. I told him I have the same blood type as Junior" Molly said standing.

"We still have to test it so if you like we can do that now?" Eva asked. "Ok" Molly nodded not looking forward to it. "I'll come with you" Jorge said. "I'll be fine Jorge. Have the said when we can see him yet?" Molly asked Eva. "Not yet. I'll make this blood thing quick" Eva said. "See you later Jorge" Molly said as she walked beside Eva.

Cristiano and Jorge were quietly sitting in the waiting room when Katia came in. "Hey" she said. "Hey. Did Maé get home ok?" Cristiano asked. "Elma was annoying her to go take a nap when I left. Nuno will be in with some lunch soon" she said. "Good. Maybe Molly will eat something he has made" Cristiano said. "Well the nurses have her drinking lots of water after she gave blood so at least she's getting that" Katia said. "Blood?" Cristiano asked.

"Amm ya. I went to Junior's room on my way here. Molly had just given blood. She said something about the doctors wanting blood incase they decided to give Junior a blood transfusion" Katia said. "The nurse took her to test the blood before I came up here" Jorge said. "You knew she was getting tested and you didn't tell me" Cristiano snapped standing from the couch. "Cris she's fine" Katia said. "She shouldn't have being on her own. She hates hospitals. She hates needles" Cristiano said. "Where are you going?" Katia asked as Cristiano moved towards the door. "Well maybe needles aren't so scary when your child is sick" Katia said as Cristiano left the room.

It had been hours since Molly had stormed out of the waiting room and he cursed himself for not going after her sooner. She hated needles. He paused from walking when he found her staring through the small window on Junior's door. She rubbed her left arm and turned to her left. Their eyes clocked and he didn't miss the frown which appeared on her face. He began to walk closer. "I know I'm the last person you want to see" he said as he reached her. "Yet you're still here" Molly muttered. "You gave blood" he sighed. "Ya. When the sample matched the decided to take more blood in case they decided to go ahead with the transfusion" she said.

"Are you ok? The needle and everything. You should have come got me" he said and she glared at him. "Or someone. Anyone just so you weren't on your own" he said. "Eva took the blood so it wasn't that bad. And I didn't...I didn't have any.." she stuttered. "I know what you mean" he said knowing she was talking about having flashbacks or bad memories. "Maé went home" he said after a few minutes. "I know. She came by to tell me she was leaving" Molly said.
