Ashley:"You blame yerself for the miscarriage?

...I'm sorry I shouldn't 'ave asked that."

Cryonix Wed Feb 16, 2011 1:02 am

Naomi: Heh...not anymore. I've been to a million doctors. They all told me the same thing. "It was just bad timing." Apparently, I'm perfectly healthy. Hey, want a drink?

She goes to the fridge and pulls out a bottle of...apple juice...

Naomi: Oooh...bottled in 2011, in Pennsylvania....wow...such a good vintage...

Jabberwocky Wed Feb 16, 2011 1:05 am

Ashley can't help but laugh, he takes the cup and looks at Naomi

Ashley:"Feels loik this deserves a toast...but to wot?"

Cryonix Wed Feb 16, 2011 1:06 am

Naomi thinks for a second...

Naomi: How about...fortunate meetings and second chances?

Jabberwocky Wed Feb 16, 2011 1:10 am

Ashley raises his glass
Ashley:"To fortunate meetings and second chances"

Cryonix Wed Feb 16, 2011 2:25 am

They enjoy the drink they about three more, the whole time talking...

Naomi: Oh my goodness...it's late. I should let you get some rest.

Jabberwocky Wed Feb 16, 2011 2:32 am

Ashley:"I really wouldn't mind if you stayed a bit longer. I slept a few hours already as is. You're the nurse though, you know best."

Cryonix Wed Feb 16, 2011 2:34 am

Naomi: Y...you want me to stay? Why?

Jabberwocky Wed Feb 16, 2011 2:36 am

Ashley:"Its been a while since I had...company...I almost forgot wot it was loik..."

Cryonix Wed Feb 16, 2011 2:41 am

She smiles and brushes some of her hair out of her face.

Naomi: If you feel I'm company worth having...sure. I'll stay. Your vitamin drip is just about done.

Jabberwocky Wed Feb 16, 2011 2:43 am

Ashley"To be honest...you be one o' the best company I've been with in..."

he sighs

Ashley:"I don't even know 'ow long.."

Cryonix Wed Feb 16, 2011 2:47 am

Naomi: There hasn't been anyone? Have you been this...lonely this whole time?

Jabberwocky Wed Feb 16, 2011 2:52 am

Ashley:"I...probably was...but I was to feckin' numb to realize it. But I tried...of course by 'try' I mean with women at the bar. That never worked out. That was a year after me marriage ended. After a couple years o'that I just...gave up."

Cryonix Wed Feb 16, 2011 2:57 am

Naomi: I could have told you that wouldn't work. You are actually not bad looking you know?

Jabberwocky Wed Feb 16, 2011 2:58 am

Ashley laughs
Ashley:"Okay now I know yer just trying to make me feel good.."

Cryonix Wed Feb 16, 2011 3:00 am

She stands and walks to the door. She looks back over her shoulder and winks...

Naomi: Really....

...am I?

Jabberwocky Wed Feb 16, 2011 3:01 am

Ashley can't help the smile on his face

Ashley:"Well, 'onestly...I 'ope that I am wrong about that.."

Cryonix Wed Feb 16, 2011 3:05 am

She blows him a kiss before walking out of the room...

Naomi: Here's hoping... Wink

Jabberwocky Wed Feb 16, 2011 3:13 am

Ashley watches her leave and then lays back into his pillow
"Maybe ending up here was the best thing that could happen"
Ashley:"Maybe...I just 'ope I can do this."
"well...if she sticks around, you might have enough motivation."
"Yeah..."

Cryonix Wed Feb 16, 2011 3:19 am

The next few days are filled with tests, drugs, sleep, more tests, more sleep, doctors, nurses, more drugs and hospital food. Disgusting hospital food. Dr. Jordans lets Ashley know that Naomi had been assigned to work another floor for a day or so. Later that night...after another terrible round of what they call 'salisbury steak and mashed potatoes'...which actually translates into 'dogfood gravy and white crap', there is a knock on the door. Naomi walks in holding a bag of Chinese food and a bottle of apple juice...

Naomi: Didn't forget about me, I hope...?

Jabberwocky Wed Feb 16, 2011 3:23 am

Ashley:"Oh I moit 'ave to 'ire you on as me personal caretaker while I'm 'ere. If you bring me actual food thats almost enough to get 'ired. You already meet the other qualification.."

Cryonix Wed Feb 16, 2011 3:25 am

Naomi walks in and lays out the food on the table...

Naomi: Oh and what would that be?

Jabberwocky Wed Feb 16, 2011 3:26 am

Ashley:"You put up with me. Well so far anyways.."
