Taking a somewhat shaky deep breath, Kristin watched the doctor scribble something. Eyeing the squiggles that passed for his handwriting, she gave up her small attempt to read his notes; even if she could read upside down, she'd never figure out those chicken scratches. Finished writing, he stood abruptly and left the room with barely a glance in her direction -not that she thought he'd have been able to see her through his wildly bushy eyebrows- and a gruff order to get home and take it easy for a few days. Despite his lack of a 'comforting' bedside manner, he had been able to tell her that Philip had already been sent home. She knew that he must have been well enough to leave, and that Rachel was completely able to tend to him if anything was still wrong, but Kristin still couldn't wait to see him with her own eyes. She'd woken up terrified, remembering the image of him being stabbed. Shaking her head slightly and putting her hand on the wall to quench any remaining dizziness, she pulled the door open and made her way down to the nurse's desk. 'Typical,' Kristin inwardly rolled her eyes. The two nurses behind the desk were busy chatting and certainly didn't look like they'd drop their talk anytime soon. Unintentionally hearing part of their conversation, she revised her original opinion of "chatting" to "gossip-sharing." The tall blonde had one of those barbie-doll-voices and Kristin grimaced, realizing that all those 'dumb blonde' jokes just might have a scrap of truth to them. She was about to interrupt -it didn't sound overly important; the two seemed unable to believe that a woman was in labor and being admitted. Kristin recognized the overtones of jealousy; obviously the father-to-be had been one of those 'prime catches' and both woman were envious that he hadn't chosen them. Belatedly, the woman's name registered with her mind. Mrs. Julia Rayne.
Suppressing a grin of excitement, Kristin asked which floor labor and delivery was on and hurried up. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? HotJobs - Search Thousands of New Jobs http://www.hotjobs.com
