picking up the crib.”
“I told you I’d buy you the crib.”
Allie leans into me. “It’s weird watching them fight, no?”
I laugh. “Hey, Sedona, how are you feeling? What brings you here?”
“My water broke. I just came directly here instead of calling my doctor.”
I sit on the stool and wheel across the room, then I put her legs in the stirrups to examine her. “Any contractions?”
“Yes, but I haven’t had one in a while.”
“Please tell me asshat isn’t going to show up here,” Phoenix says, holding her sister’s hand.
I shoot her a look. “I’m going to call labor and delivery. Your little girl is on her way.” I smile, taking off my gloves. “We’ll get you moved up to that floor.”
Sedona nods, looking uncertain. This is her first child and she’s doing it on her own. She turns toward her twin. “You can’t be like that when she comes. I won’t taint my daughter by allowing people to say bad things about her father.”
I’ll let them fight it out.
I head to the nurses’ station, Allie following me. “Call up to labor and delivery and see if there are any beds.”
She picks up the phone. I’m writing on the board when Kingston’s voice comes over the radio in the nurses’ station. Even though he’s telling us how many minutes they’re out and the patient’s condition, so we know how best to be prepared, a rush of excitement that I’ll get to see him runs through me. Allie answers while she’s on hold with labor and delivery.
“She has a while, so we can keep her here for a little bit if they need time,” I tell Allie.
I walk over to the ambulance drop-off just as it’s pulling up. Kingston’s smile is wide and welcoming when he sees me.
“Another flu case,” Lou says, stepping out of the back of the ambulance.
They wheel in the patient while Lou tells me all the stats of the patient. Allie comes out and helps me get the elderly patient situated, hooking her up to oxygen and doing vitals. Once we know she’s not in immediate danger, I walk out of the room, ordering blood work.
“Hey, you.” Kingston looks side to side down the hall and grabs me by the edge of my lab coat, tugging me toward him.
“You know I can’t do anything right now.” I slide my hand into his and lead him around the corner, sneaking into the break room that’s blessedly empty right now.
“And here is safe?” he says, caging me to the wall.
“Safer.”
His large hand slides under my jacket and molds to my hip. “I missed you.” He bends down and kisses me. “I’m not sure I can get through my shift.”
“Crossing your fingers that you keep getting calls that send you here?”
“I might just tell Captain it’s better for me to stay here.” He kisses me again, this time sliding his tongue into my mouth.
I moan, my back falling to the wall, my hands fiddling with the hair on the back of his head. His hand inches up my torso, over my ribs, and I anticipate his next move. But just as he’s making his way to my breast, the break room door opens.
“Hey, I’m all for the sneaky sneak and I totally would’ve allowed you two to do whatever, but Sedona is screaming, and labor and delivery is full at the moment. Dr. Foster is on his way down, but I figured you might want to help her in the meantime. Hey, Kingston. You’re welcome.” Allie leaves.
I push off the wall, but Kingston locks me once more, his large thigh sliding between my legs. “My sister’s here?”
“She’s having the baby.”
He nods. Not alarmed I guess since first-time moms tend to labor longer. “One more kiss?”
I glance toward the door and smack my lips to his. Our mouths tangle and our hands run along one another’s body as though we forgot what we felt like in the hours we’ve been apart.
The door opens again. “Lovebirds, get the fuck out here.” Lou shuts the door, laughing.
“I better go check on your sister. Phoenix is here too.”
We walk out of the nurses’ station to find Phoenix doing some kind of handshake with Lou. She points at us and her mouth slowly opens. “Does Grandma Dori know?”
“Give it a rest,” Kingston says, his hand sliding over my ass when he passes.
“She does.” Allie beams.
Phoenix looks at her then me. “Who’s this?”
“Allie is Dori’s new best friend.”
Phoenix puts it all together and she sighs. “She recruited you
