Especially not to a grown man who grew up without a father. “Derrick, meet Gunner Monroe.” Derrick’s wide eyes swing from me to Gunner. “Your father.”
Daniel
I’m not surprised to see Travis come sauntering into the waiting room while Gunner is back visiting with Gabby and Derrick. He gives me a nod and takes the seat beside me. We sit in silence for a few minutes before he finally speaks.
“Your sister’s pissed at you,” he drawls.
I snap my head around and look at him, surprised. Then it dawns on me. I haven’t called Laynie since all this shit went down, and I missed my birthday. Of course I had seen that she’d called me a few times, but I’d been sitting in a packed waiting room each time and always forgot to call her back. Dropping my head back against the wall behind me, I sigh. “How pissed?”
He chuckles. “Pretty pissed.”
“Shit.” We’re silent for a few more seconds, me trying to find a way to make it up to my sister. “I could come over for dinner on the weekend?”
Travis raises his brow. “I look like a fuckin’ caterer to you? Call your fuckin’ sister, man.”
Just then Gabby and Gunner come through the heavy doors separating the hospital rooms from the waiting area. I watch silently as Gabby smiles at him and looks uncertain, then shoots her hand out for a handshake.
Gunner grins and shakes her hand, his eyes showing his happiness. As one, Travis and Gunner give us a farewell nod as they move toward the exit. I’m just pulling Gabby in for a hug when Travis calls from the door, “You know Laynie will want you to bring her.”
I roll my eyes and nod my head, watching as he finally leaves. Gabby looks up and tilts her head to the side. “Who’s Laynie?”

That weekend things finally seem to settle down. Derrick had been moved from intensive care and was bouncing off the walls in a ward room on the fourth floor, more than ready to go home. From the sounds of things, he’ll be released tomorrow.
Gabby and I have been spending a lot of time together, though I do have to return to work after next week. Apparently, a bullet in the arm only justifies two weeks off. Gabby is going back to work on Monday.
After much apologizing, and only a little grovelling, Laynie has finally forgiven me. Gabby and I had just left her place after stuffing ourselves with delicious food and good wine. Introducing Gabby to my sister felt completely natural. The two ladies had hit it off right away.
Halfway through the dinner, they started planning a girl’s night and Travis had looked just as worried as I felt. Gabby and Laynie together, combined with a mixture of alcohol and loud music, was a recipe for disaster if you ask me.
Watching Travis and my sister tonight had been a surprise. When I’d first discovered they were a couple, I instantly disapproved of him, terrified what a relationship with him could mean for my blind sister. But seeing her tonight, the way she smiled and the way Travis dotes on her, set my mind at ease. My sister was finally happy, and I had Travis to thank for that.
Pulling up to Gabby’s house, I take the key from the ignition and step out of the car. I walk around to the passenger side, open the door and help Gabby out of the vehicle. Taking her hand, we walk towards the house and up the front steps to the door. Once inside, Gabby tosses her keys on the small table in the foyer and walks towards the kitchen.
“Want a beer?” she calls back over her shoulder.
“Please,” I reply, moving straight for the couch.
She enters the room and flops down beside me, handing over my opened bottle. Turning her body towards mine, she takes a swig of her own beer and smiles. “Your sister is amazing.”
I nod and smile. “She is. Laynie is one of a kind.”
She takes another swig. “You know, it’s funny. I wouldn’t picture them together. Laynie and Travis? But seeing them tonight, they just… fit… ya know?”
I nod my head. “I
