Fight

Chapter 24

There is one other person who would know what I feel better than anyone. It's time that I give her a call. She came and checked on Luke while I traveled with Dom and we haven't spoken since then.

"Cortez."

"Soon to be Parker."

"Hey, I keep answering without looking. How are you?"

"It's hard, Kay, being here with them on the road."

"I know, how's Luke?

"He's getting better, being a baby about the cast and everything but it's necessary."

"Hobbs is an overgrown child." she chuckled.

"That he is and he's happy that I stood behind. Thanks for coming to visit when I was in Tokyo."

"No problem, I'm sorry that I haven't been over lately but I've got some things to take care of. I chose to stay and . . ."

"What's that about? Why the hell would you stay?" I asked.

"The family is growing." she said softly.

"What?" I stammered, feeling the tears pooling.

"I'm pregnant, that's why I chose not to go." she replied and I could hear the tears in her voice.

"I'm gonna be a titi again, what is this?"

"Godmother, if you please." she added.

"Oh my God, you've gotta be kidding me!"

"No one else I would want, if not you."

"My first godbaby! I love it, of course. Wait, does Parker know?"

"No, he doesn't know."

"What's wrong? I can hear it in your voice, what haven't you told me?"

"We're not together anymore."

"What?" I demanded.

"He broke up with me after another huge fight over Dom."

"What the hell is wrong with these men?"

"He thinks I'm still in love with Dom and that the reason I still work at the garage is to be around him. So he said he needs a break and he left."

"Why didn't you call me, damn it? I would've been there with you Kaylee."

"You have enough on your plate, I didn't want to add to your stress. I also didn't want you to shoot him."

"I should, I should fucking murder him."

"That's what I want to avoid, it's just . . . it happened and we're over."

"It's not that cut and dried, I know you." I argued.

"I have to think about it that way or I'm gonna keep breaking down. He left and I have to move on."

"I don't like you being alone right now, come to the hospital."

"I will, this week I will. I've gotta go right now though, I'll be in contact." she said.

"I love you, take care of you and the peanut."

"I love you too and I will. I'll see you soon."

I spent my days between Luke's room and Han's. Gisele and I are in the same boat; wanting to be here and wanting to be with the family at the same time. We love our men but we feel trapped in the hospital, knowing that our guys are out there fighting for us.

Lisa threw both of us out of the hospital a week later. Lisa said we need a real shower and food that doesn't come in a container or out of the cafeteria. No matter how much we argued, we were mercilessly thrown out.
