Dorothea managed to keep herself calm and to keep her precious package inside. The doctors acted very cautious and decided to keep her there for at least a week.
Megan walked the now all to familiar hospital hallway. There might be a chance that Dot will be released today.
Before walking in she heard the unmistakable voice of Mrs. B mingled with Jon’s.
A deep groan came from deep inside her belly. Squaring her shoulders, she walked inside.
“Hey baby. I thought I’d leave you to sleep in a bit.” She leaned forward and brushed her lips over his.
“Sweet of you, but you know me. Jaden had a hard time getting up this morning.”
“Little rascal, plays too much tv games. We’d better cut down on it.”
“I’m glad you use the word we...” she pinched his cheek playfully. They played games for hours in the night...
Expanding her lung capacity she turned towards Carol.
“Mornin’ Carol. How are you?” she gave the dutiful peck on the cheek.
“Hello Megan. I’m doing well, thank you.”
“Hey Dot. Had a good night’s rest?” Dorothea held her hand out to Megan and pulled her in for a hug.
“I slept like a corpse. I’m going to be released today! God I can’t wait.”
Carol cleared her throat.
“Yeah well, about that. I think its a good idea for you to come live with me until the baby is born. I will hire a nurse and I will be there too.”
An uneasy blush crept into Dorothea’s face.
“I...uumm.”
“I’m sorry Carol but I’ve arranged everything already.”
A scowl built up in the older woman’s face.
“What are you talking about?! Look at you! Heavily pregnant and besides I dont think its a good idea for Dorothea to live alone in that cottage.”
Jon leaned back, a smirk pulling at his lips. Mama you’ve forgotten not to fuck with a determined pregnant woman......
“Did I at any time said she will be in the cottage?”
Jon forgot the foolish grin and sat up. Oh shiiiiittttt!
“She is moving in with us.”
“What?!”
Three faces pinned her down. Not at the least fazed about it she elaborated.
“She needs the constant care, and as you put it so nicely Carol, I m heavily pregnant so I hired a nurse to be present most of the day if something should happen. Besides I think two pregnant fairies could keep each other company, comparing our daily growin tums, dont you think so too? It could be fun and frankly I enjoy Dorothea’s company.”
Silence.
Jon was gaping at her. Carol’s face tunred a darker shade of red as the seconds tick by.
“You just love to undermine me dont you?” She gritted through her teeth.
“Why in the world would I do that?” Megan flashed her her sweetest smile and Jon had the hardest time to suppress the snicker threatning to spill.
Turning in her chair she glared at Dorothea.
“The desicion is ultimately yours, dont you think?”
“Yes.”
Licking her lips nervously she met the older woman’s death stare.
“I’ll accept Megan’s generous offer.”
“Will I never!” She shot up from her chair.
“You are quick to forget what I did for you young lady. Be careful it doesnt come back and nip you in the ass. Well I know when I’m not needed.” She shrugged slightly, lifting her head slightly, staring at them down her nose.
“Oh ma. Calm down already. Nobody is trying to spite you, we have Dot and the baby’s health in mind.”
“Trust you to take you precious wife’s side. Remember what I said Dorothea.”
She walked out without so much as a goodbye.
Dorothea stared at the stiff back exiting the room. A storm was brewing inside her. How in the hell was she going to get away with this? How was she going t explain? Jon and Megan treated her like family. She even grown to love Megan! Oh fuck what was she doing?
Megan’s bright smile jerked her out of her dark thoughts.
“Sooooo missy you ready to go home?”
