DINING ROOM FOR STAFF, afternoon<br/><br/>"I think any time would be just perfect for him." - she replied kindly, stroking hair behind his ear gently. "And I'm free now as well."<br/>For a few seconds she was just rocking Billie, trying to show him he wasn't alone, not at all and when her face met Adele's again her eyes were wet but accompanied with a joyful smile.<br/>Carefully she reached ahead and squeezed the other woman's hand, whispering 'thank you'.<br/>"It's Room 87. But this you know. I'll, we'll be there... Thank you. Again."<br/>So she was after one of the most embarrassing scenes of her life - plus those stares she got from certain colleagues as they left the room... - but for Billie, all was worth.<br/><br/><br/><br/>PATIENT ROOM 87, the same afternoon<br/><br/>When they returned to the nest she decorated from her heart, making it rather a child's home than a hospital spot, she layed him down on the soft carpet she bought for the floor and held both hands that were wobbling in the air until she caught them practicedly.<br/>"It's okay.. It's okay, sweetest..." - she returned the curious gaze with a reassuring one and also a smile, kissing his fingers gently. "It's gonna be all right..."<br/><em>'What will happen to us if I get pregnant?... I still want to take you out from here... You're my baby too and I'll never leave you, I promise!...'</em><br/>
