Chapter 179
Nicol
“JP we still need to talk about who else we are going to get to help us.” “I was thinking about that, maybe someone from the ER I mean they are good with emergencies.” “Your probable right but I want to take someone from Adri, maybe we can take another two as I won’t be here full time.” “Why someone from Adri?” JP asked. “Oh yes, I walked smack into her on Dominique’s floor and she was really rude to me, again. I walked away and can you believe she told me ‘I didn’t dismiss you’” I said it like she would. “NO, she didn’t?” “Yes, she did.” “And what did you do?” “I told her I didn’t work for her anymore then I turned around and walked away. She actually gasps behind me.” “I would have loved to see the look on her face when you said that.” “To tell you the truth I didn’t even look, I’m so done with her.” “Okay let’s take Elizabeth, she’s sweet are great with patients and Adri is really really rude towards her.” “Okay and then someone from ER?” “I’ll asked around and find out who wants to join us you know some of those nurses are adrenal junkies.” JP said. “Okay you find out from the ER nurses. How are we going to get to Elizabeth?” “Wait I’ll call her.” JP took his cellphone and put it on speaker. She answered in a whisper “JP what’s wrong?” “Elizabeth nothing is wrong I’ve got Nicol here with me.” “Oh, hi Nicol.” “Hi Elizabeth we got a proposition for you.” “I’m listening.” “You know about the clinic we have for the women shelters?” “Yes” “Would you like to join us?” “God yes thank you thank you for thinking of me Adri is like Hulk today.” “Don’t you want to know about your salary?” I asked her. “I just want to get away from Adri.” “Well go and resign JP needs your help down here. And FYI your salary stays the same for now.” “I would have worked for less Nicol. I’ll be there in the next half an hour.” “Okay Elizabeth see you just now.” When JP disconnected the call, he gave me a high five. “We did it Nicol.” “We did JP. Now you need to find an ER nurse and I need to go to the women shelter I can feel myself getting tired again.” “You need to take it easy this time around Nicol.” “I know and I will try I promise but for now I’m going to the shelter.” “Am I seeing you tomorrow?” “Yes, I’ll bring in Mia and Kayla, Kayla will be so excited to see her baby.” “I can’t wait.” JP said before he gave me two air kisses.
I asked Herman to stop and the grocery store I wanted to buy a few things to take with and more ice cream and Twinkies for Mia and Kayla. Herman parked the car and walked with me into the grocery store; it was weird walking with a man that is not my man but I needed to get use to it. I got some fresh fruit and vegetables as well as meat and the Twinkies and Ice cream. Herman carried everything which was probable one of the perks of having a body guard. When we got to the shelter Enzo was standing inside the gate doesn’t this man ever get off? I wondered I should definitely ask Nicolas to get another guard. Carol came walking out of the office “Nicol so nice to see you.” “Hi Carol I brought some fruit for the ladies and vegetables and meat maybe for a nice stew tonight.” “That sounds amazing.” I leaned into her “Does Enzo ever leave?” “No, he came with a duffel bag yesterday with his cloths and toiletries, his sleeping in the living room on the coach it can’t be comfortable but he refused to go. When he was gone, he had someone else standing in for him but other than that, he sleeps here.” “Oh wow. I’ll ask Nicolas to get someone else as well they can do night and day shifts.” “I don’t think he will fall for that Nicol Enzo is very protective of the women here, it’s like his invested in them.” “Okay then I’ll talk to him and find out what he wants to do.” “I think that’s a better idea.” Carol said. “Any other problems?” “No Mia is doing great she’s in the court yard looking for a bit of sun and Kayla is also doing great, funny her boyfriend hasn’t come here to bang on the door yet.” “Maybe he doesn’t want anything to do with Kayla and the baby anymore.” “It seems to be the case but normally they will come at least once before they stop coming.” “I’ll talk to Kayla maybe she will tell me something.” “Okay both of them are sitting outside.” “Do you need anything else so long Carol?” “No Nicol you and Nicolas gave us more than we could have dreamed off.” “We not finished yet.” I told her. Carol grabbed me and hugged me “Thank you Nicol thank you so much.” I hugged her back because clearly this shelter as many others are depended on donations. “Okay let me go and say hi to our two pregnant ladies, I have some good news for Kayla as well.”
I walked outside and true to Carol’s word they were moving towards the winter son. “Hi girls.” I said as I approached them. “Nicol, hi how are you?” Kayla said as she got up and hugged me. “I got you something.” I gave her the bag with the Twinkies. “Oh, you shouldn’t have.” “Well, I did.” I said as I gave Mia her ice cream. “You are an angel send from above I swear.” Mia said. “How are you feeling Mia?” “Better thank you the medication the doctors gave is working.” “Great to hear that and you Mia?” “No my little baby is still kicking and going crazy especially when I eat a Twinkie.” “That’s great. I have good news for you.” “Oh, really what is it?” Kayla asked. “The clinic is opening tomorrow I can come and fetch you two and you can see your baby.” “Like an ultrasound?” Kayla asked stunned “Yes Kayla and we will be able to see if it’s a boy or a girl.” Kayla started to cry before she hugged me again sobbing on my shoulder. “Hey hey Kayla it’s good news.” “I know but if it wasn’t for you, I would have never seen my baby not until he was born and then it would have been here because I don’t have money for a hospital.” “Kayla it’s okay we’ve got you okay, we’ve got you.”
