Chapter 8 

 

*The Next Morning* 

 

I got up early, As any other day. I checked on Eleanor, who was asleep in bed. I got dressed in my nurse uniform. 

I walked to a bakery. I scanned the sweets. 

"See anything, you like miss?" The lady asked. 

"Can I get one of those bagels and a orange juice?" I asked. 

"Sure. Coming right up." She smiled. I sat there on one of the couches they had. I looked at the TV they had in there. The news was on, talking about the war. I looked at little coffee table they had. The newspapers read 'World War 3 At Its Highest'. The door to the bakery opened. I looked. Military men walked in. Everywhere I looked it reminded me of war. This was the life we were living in now. And I realized, I can't help the fact that the baby will be born in world full of hate and destruction. 

"Excuse me miss, your order is ready." The lady said. 

I tried to stand up, but my belly wouldn't let me. 

"Here, let me help you." I heard one of the military men said. 

Two of them helped me up. 

"Thank you, so much." I said as they helped me up. 

"No problem, miss." They said. 

I took my bagel and orange juice. I paid for them. 

I walked out of the bakery. As I got closer to the clinic. I had a weird feeling. A feeling that something wasn't right. 

I walked into the clinic. I looked at my watch. It said 7:30. I looked outside it was cloudy. 

I walked into my station. The new recruit nurse where already there. 

"Hello ladies." I said taking off my jacket. 

"Hello." They answered sweetly. 

"I hope you've had a good nights sleep, because we have a lot of work ahead of us today." I said. 

I cleared my throat. 

"So ladies, to start out, everything you need for today is on tray. Make sure utensils are washed and sanitized." I said.

The girls nodded and did what they were told. 

I walked over to Mark who was up already. 

"How's it feel being to boss people around?" He teased.

"Whatever." I smiled.

I changed his bandage. 

"Ok ready for walking today?" I asked.

"Definitely." He said getting out of bed.

After an hour of Therapy, I decided to give Mark a break. 

"Ok, you can rest for a little but, Im gonna go check on the recruits." I said.

I walked around looking at the the recruits work.

"Make sure to keep the bandage tight, but not to tight. We don't want his leg to turn blue." I informed. 

The girl nodded. 

I walked to another recruit. 

"How are you liking your nurse?" I asked the patient. 

"She's wonderful." He said smiling at her. She smiled back and blushed.
