| Chapter Seven |
| Everyone had arrived just as the doctor entered the room. Justin stood up beside me when the doctor began talking. "You have a very strong little girl Ms. Young. She bruised a small vertebra in her back, but it's not real serious. But she did manage to break her wrist. It caught the fall, not her back. She's gonna be sore for a few days, but she'll be okay. You need to make sure that she doesn't play too much in the next 3 weeks, giving her back time to heal. Okay?" I shook my head yes, but was interrupted by Justin's voice. "Doctor, is Kayla well enough to travel?" The doctor looked at him strangely, recognizing him. "Yes, sir, she should be fine." The doctor told us that Kayla would be done and out in a minute. My Mom, Justin, and Lenny were all talking as we waited. My Mom was trying to persuade me to go to Florida. She looked at me lovingly, "Hun, as much as I don't want you to leave South Carolina, you should go. Get away, you deserve it. And I'm sure Kayla would thoroughly enjoy it!" As much as I hated to admit it, I did need a vacation, and Kayla would love Florida. Justin looked at me, pleading with his eyes. "Please Chelle Bells! My Mom would love to see you and Kayla!" I wanted to go so badly, simply because I wanted to where Justin was. "Okay, I'm sure Kayla would love it. I'll just call her school, there's only 2 days left of school anyway." Blake jumped to his feet. "I don't think so! You're NOT going anywhere with my daughter!" Blake's dad rolled his eyes and pulled his son back into his chair. "Blake, you have NO rights when it comes to Kayla. Remember? I got sole custody. You gave me your sperm, and that is the ONLY way Kayla is your daughter." I knew Blake was steaming mad. He had no control over the situation, and he hated that. I sat back down just as Kayla came waltzing through the door. My Mom stood up running to her. "Is Grammy's baby okay?" Kayla smiled as she saw Justin. She hugged her grandma. "I'm okay. Justin! Look, a baby blue cast!" She walked up to Justin, showing him her new cast. Justin bent down and picked her up gently, and she automatically rapped her arms around his neck. "This is so cool! did you know that baby blue is my favorite color?" Kayla shook her head yes, giggling at Justin's face. Then she turned her head, finding me. "I'm sorry Momma. I'm sorry that I scared you." I smiled and kissed her nose. "It's okay Monkey, but no more jumping off the swings. Right?" Justin sat her down as she shook her head yes. She ooked back at Justin, and that's when she saw Blake and his Dad. She walked over to her grandpa. "Hey Pappy Roberts. Like my cast?" Mr. Roberts shook his head yes and hugged her. then she looked at Blake. "Daddy Blake, why are you here?" Blake looked at me with pure hate in his eyes. He hated that Kayla called him that, but Kayla is smart. She knew that he was only there for show. He bent down, "I came to check on you. You're my baby." As he tried to hug her, she backed away. She ran to my side grabbing onto my leg. "I'm Momma's baby." I could tell that Blake was about to explode, and that was my signal that it was time to leave. "Okay Kayla, tell Daddy and Pappy Roberts good-bye." She simply waved as we walked out of the hospital. I was buckling Kayla's seat belt when I felt pain shoot through my arm. |
