“That would be Dr. Mark Spencer, but he’s in LA.”
“I’ll be right back.” I left the room and made a call to the one person I knew could get shit done.
“Ma I need a favor. Gia’s baby is in the hospital…” I gave her the particulars and she promised to get back to me as soon as possible.
I went back inside to find her and my brother keeping watch over the child.
“Evan what have you got?”
“Mom is on it.” He relaxed but the room’s other occupant wasn’t looking too pleased.
“What does that mean what have you done?”
“Mom is going to get in touch with the specialist in LA and find out if we have to go to him or if he’ll come here.”
“What? I don’t have that kind of money.”
“I do and before you open your mouth to argue with me take a look at your child and don’t be stupid.”
I don’t know why I was pissed this time, but the thought of her being alone and scared with a sick child was beyond frustrating.
And the fact that no one was willing to care for the child because of the lack of money was worse than inhumane.
“Why didn’t you say something about the insurance?”
“What could I say? It’s normal when working for a new company for the insurance not to cover certain things until an acceptable amount of time has passed.”
“Her treatment cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, this is the best I can do for now and I’m doing it.”
“Don’t get me wrong I’m not blaming you, the whole thing is just too cruel for words.” And all the more so because it was happening to my woman.
“Here drink your soup before it gets any colder.” I picked up her food from the table where I’d dropped it before.
“I better get back to the office, we can’t both be gone today of all days.” She looked like she wanted to beg Gavin to stay when he made his way to the door but I cut her off.
“That’s fine, I’ll stay here.” I dared her with a glare to say anything about me staying and she had the good sense to keep her damn mouth shut.

“Ithought I told you to eat, you need me to feed that to you?”
“Why are you angry at me?”
“Because you were in trouble and didn’t come to me that’s why.”
Her mouth fell open and she looked at me in shock.
“You’re a woman with a child, don’t play stupid. I’m sure you know when a man is interested in you.”
“You, what are you talking about?”
“You want me to spell it out for you?”
“Please do because I have no idea.”
“You’re lying and it doesn’t suit you. Don’t play games with me I don’t like them.” Her cheeks heated and I knew I was right.
She was as aware of me as I am her though she does a better job of ignoring what she really feels.
