Chapter 191

Nicol

When Kayla eventually stopped crying, I decided to take her to the coffee shop as well and speak to her I didn’t like to see her so upset.  “JP, will you do a proper check up on Mia, I’m taking Kayla for some tea.”  “Yes, off course.”  As Kayla and I walked out of the room, Miley also walked out.  “Are you okay?”  I asked her.  “A broken rib and broken arm but nothing I haven’t been through before.”  “I’m so sorry.”  “Don’t be it’s me that goes back every time believing this time it would be different.”  Fuck I wish Miley can speak to Mia and explain to her things never get better.  “I’ll see you ladies later at the shelter then we can talk.”  The only one that answered me was Jasmine.  Miley and Bella looked like they’ve been through all of this before.  “Come Kayla.”  I took her hand and we walked towards the coffee shop.  I ordered another 2 teas but this time just one piece of cake.  I put it in front of her.  “Here you go Kayla.”  “Thank you.”  She said still wiping tears from her face.  She took a sip of her tea and took a bite of the cake, she actually sighed when she tasted the cake.  “It’s good right?”  “It is.” She took a sip of her tea.  “Kayla what is really wrong?”  She looked down and then said, “You’ll think I’m silly.”  “I won’t I promise.”  “I just thought if I have a boy I will have something left of my boyfriend that’s all.  I love him but will never in my life go back to him.”  First of all, thank fuck she didn’t want to go back to him second off all I understood, although Nikki was a girl she looked like Nicolas to a T, it’s just their anatomy that was different.

“Can I tell you something Kayla.”  “Yes, off course.”  “When I got pregnant, I ran from my boyfriend, not because he abused me but because he had an empire waiting for him and if his father knew he had a child out of wedlock he would have disowned him, so I made the decision not to tell him and to run. To give him the opportunity to became the man he is today.  I didn’t run very far; I stayed in China town above a restaurant I was working at.  I didn’t have much food and it was ruff for long.  I got my nurses degree and then it got a bit better but that is not what I wanted to tell you sorry; I’m off topic.  What I want to say is I had a baby girl, she’s my whole world and I totally get it I wanted a boy too to have something of Nicolas but Nikki my girl looks like her father to a T, same eyes, hair even their demeanor and she didn’t grow up with him, only recently we moved in with him.  So, after a very long story what I want to tell you is that little girl might look like your boyfriend. Mine look like her father.  But I also want to tell you it hurts to look at them and remember the person you left.  I don’t want to lie to you Kayla it will hurt to see your boyfriend in her every single day.  I mean Nicolas didn’t hit me or verbally abused me and it still hurt.”  “I get that and thank you for telling me your story I just want something good to come out of the relationship we had that’s it.”  “Something good did come from the relationship Kayla you having a baby that’s the best gift anyone can give you especially if you want her.”  “Oh, believe me I want her desperately.”  “Well then there you go.”  “Thank you, Nicol, I really appreciate you.”  “It’s just my pleasure.”  When we walked back to the clinic, I was dead tired it took a lot out of someone to play psychologist and I did it twice already today and it was just 11 in the morning, and with the look I got from Miley and Bella’s face there was a lot of drama at the shelter a few blocks from here.  And I have to go all psychologist on everyone there as well, did I miss my calling?

When we got back to the clinic, Mia was done and JP was happy with her blood pressure and the baby was doing great.  I could see Mia was still not herself and had this sinking feeling she won’t be at the shelter tomorrow when I get there.  She’s going back to her husband.  I can only hope and pray things will go better for her.  I asked Herman to take Mia and Kayla back to the shelter I needed to help the ladies here before I could leave.  Herman wasn’t happy but did what I asked him he however did speak to the hospital security first before he left.  When they were sorted, it was just Jasmine still waiting to go into the clinic, clearly the girls didn’t wait for her.  “Jasmine, would you like to come in.”  She looked so shy and afraid.  She got up and walked towards me. “Come sit tell me what I can help you with.” “MMMMM my ribs are sore and mmmmm down there.” She said but she was very shy.  “Okay come lie here on the bed.”  I helped her onto the bed and went looking for Elizabeth.   “Elizabeth, will you come and help me please.”  “Yes sure.”  When she was standing next to me, I told her “I think she was raped.”  “Oh gosh no.”  “She’s scared as well let’s take it easy with her.”  “Okay.” Elizabeth and I walked in behind the curtains. “Are you okay if we examine you?”  I asked her.  “Mmmm Yes.”  Elizabeth lifts her shirt and you could see the bruise clearly her ribs where broken.  “You have 2 broken ribs.”  Elizabeth said to her after examining her.    “I thought so.”  “Jasmine, we have to examine your vagina will you put your feet on here please.”  She looked so scared Elizabeth saw it and took her hand “I’ll be right here with you don’t worry okay.”  She looked at Elizabeth “Thank you.”  She said to her.  I examine her vagina and there where clear signs of force.  How on earth do I approached this now.  I thought to myself, I totally understood why JP wanted and ER nurse they were use to this kind of stuff.  “Where you raped Jasmine?”
