“Hey you” Kelly smiled
Tina got up of the seat and hugged her friend “How are you?”
“I should be asking you that” Kelly sighed “How’s he doing.”
“He’s improving slowly big difference since yesterday” Tina explained “You see Jess?”
“Yeah, she’s still pissed at me though”
“What happened between you?”
“I sent Shay to help her write; Shay’s dad has bought over the label and is on my ass big time”
“Oh dear, not your smartest move Kel”
“Tell me about it, Jess has walked of the label and now Shay’s dad is having a fit because he’s going to lose thousands”
“You know I can’t take sides on this yes? Jess is mine so I need to stay loyal to her”
“Gosh yes, I don’t expect you to Tina!” Kelly said “I’m just stuck because I’ve lose her and I feel I’ve majorly screwed our friendship too”
“Jess will calm down and speak to you when she’s ready, hang fire” Tina smiled “She’s just got a lot going on with Carmen and now this, she can’t take all the pressure, she might look strong Kel but she’s not”
“I know I feel like a first class ass!” Kelly explained “I’ve worked with her since she was 16”
“I know that and so does she, Jess is very loyal, she’s just angry. Give her time; I’ll speak to her when things are calmer” Tina sighed
“Ignore that just now you have bigger problems” Kelly smiled “Anyway I just wanted to drop by and see how they were both doing, I need to get back to the office, Call if you need anything”
“I will thanks Kel”

“So how have you been considering all the stress the past few weeks” The doctor asked
“yeah I’m good thanks” Lisa lay on the bed, Jace took her hand
“So are we finding out the sex of the baby today?”
“No we want to keep it a surprise thanks” Lisa smiled
Jace smiled and kissed Lisa softly
The doctor did what he needed to do and then began the examination.
“Well everything looks great, heartbeat is normal, your blood pressure is a little high so just keep an eye on that and take it easy Lisa”
“Thanks” Lisa smiled getting up
“Look after this one” The doctor smiled
“I always do” Jace shook the doctor’s hand “thanks”

Bette walked into Mason’s room
“How’s Jess?” Tina asked
“She’s okay, she wants home” Bette leaned down kissing Tina “How’s Mason any changes?”
“No…none” Tina yawned
“Baby why don’t you go home and get some sleep?”
“I’m okay I promise, I want to go see Jess will you stay here till I get back”
“Off course I will”
Tina left the room and closed the door.
“Jess what you doing here I was just coming to see you.”
“I just wanted to see him” Jess explained
“Why didn’t you come in?”
“I’m okay here” Jess sighed “Carmen went to get some red bull”
“How you feeling?”
“I feel good, I want out of here” Jess sighed
“You sound all congested and you don’t look good sweetheart” Tina put her arm round Jess and unintentionally began leading her back to her own room.
Jess got up on the bed and lay back down, Tina sat beside her.
“Mama said Callie is letting you home tomorrow”
“Yeah tomorrow can’t come quick enough”
Tina picked up Jess’s chart and read through it before putting it back.
“Hey superstar just doing some checks” Callie smiled “How you feeling?”
“I have a banging headache” Jess stated
“You told me two seconds ago you felt great, are you lying to me Jessica?”
“Please don’t call me that, and no I feel great apart from that” Jess stated
Callie laughed “I’ll get you some pain relief; you should try get some sleep”
“In this place is that a joke?” Jess sighed “I tried to get sleep last night and the person next door to me was shouting anyone who comes in here ends up on a slab, safe to say I didn’t want to sleep after that”
Tina and Callie laughed
“Carmen however, slept through the full night, so at least one of us slept”
“Carmen hasn’t slept all week so it was overdue” Tina smiled kissing Jess on the head
“I’ll leave you too it, I’ll discharge you tomorrow morning lovely, just hang fire for one more night”
“Ok” Jess sighed “Thanks Callie”
“No problem” Callie smiled leaving the room

“So how’s Mason actually doing Mum?” Jess asked
“He’s getting there slowly sweetie”
Jess took a deep breath.
“Mama blames me”
“Rubbish, where did that come from?” Tina asked
“She said she should have been focusing more on Mason than our petty problems” Jess explained
“She said that?” Tina asked
“Yeah pretty much” Jess sighed “Maybe she’s right in a way”
“No she isn’t and I don’t want you thinking that, your problems were not petty” Tina stated “Your Mama probably didn’t mean it in the context your taking it”
“I’m just saying it how she said it” Jess stated
Tina was annoyed “Well I’m telling you it wasn’t your fault or Carmen’s so ignore your Mama she’s probably just letting steam off”
“As usual it’s at me” Jess stated
