I greeted the nurses along the way, and when I stepped into Jade’s room my feet halted

She was dressed in an aquaht her a few days ago because I knew she needed so sto, dark hair, and her carahs as she finished packing her things She hadn’t seen me yet, so I took the chance to siain Standing up straight, she caressed her belly, and sirl," she cooed "I’o hoh, otherwise -"

"Otherhat?" I asked, leaning against the door

Her head snapped up, and she sive her everything her heart desired, and so oing to get here"

I pushed away fro my arms around her waist with her baby buot here as quickly as I could after ently brushed her war the way her breath stuttered froo?"

"I nailed it, but we can talk about that later I have so else I’d rather do, and it involves a little less talking"

Jade’s eyes bea "Yeah? What’s that?"

"I’ll show you," I replied My lips slanted against hers, and ue snuck out to taste her botto a breathy moan to escape before my mouth moved a little harder I tasted her, she tasted h I’d kissed herabout this one was different Her body leaned intous closer, closer, closer

I broke away, panting, and watched as Jade’s eyelids fluttered open

"Well," she exhaled, "I’lad to see you missed me too"

A throat cleared behind us, and Jade rolled her eyes just as I turned to see Nurse Alba walk in Jade was still not her biggest fan, but during her stay at the hospital they’d struck up the unlikeliest of truces

"Mr Cole," she greeted, pushing a wheelchair in

"Alba," I replied, trying to hidein that"

"Oh yes you are," replied Nurse Alba "You are still on bed rest, missy Doctor’s orders"

"Are you sure?" Asked Jade "How do I know you didn’t bring it just to torture me one last tiht it because you’ll get out of this hospital faster The sooner you leave, the sooner I can get back to reeable patients"

"Please," snorted Jade "In order for your patients to be agreeable they have to like you, and I just don’t see that happening"

"Maybe not, but I like them a whole lot more than I like you"

Jade folded her arms over her chest, and smirked "I don’t like you either, you old bat"

"Finally, we agree on so to miss you"

"I won’t miss you either" Jade shook her head "Not even a little bit"
