sister is, I see Sly. “Hey, how is she?”
He nods. “Dr. Jennings is checking her now. He said that he thinks she could be having trouble with her sugar. When he looked over her blood work from the last few appointments, Dr. Coleman had been worried as well.”
I shake my head. “Who is Dr. Jennings?”
Sly smiles. “He’s the new guy in Dr. Coleman’s practice. He’s a nice guy, I like him, even if he’s young. He’d just started when she was pregnant with Krista.” I guess being locked away in the pharmacy I really don’t see many of the doctors’ faces. Come to think of it, I think I have seen that name before.
About that time, the door to the room opens. “Okay, Sly, she’s dehydrated and needs some rest so I’m admitting her for overnight at least. We have to get her sugar under control. I’m upset that she didn’t talk with you about it after her last appointment with Dr. Coleman.”
Sly nods. “I am, too, so I will be going to every appointment from now on.”
I look to Sly. “Elaine took Krista with her. I can grab my stuff and stay with Kara tonight since I have to be here so early tomorrow anyway.”
“Nah. You take Eve home. Get a good night’s rest and come see her in the morning when you get here. I’m sure you’ll be able to give her an ear full before she checks out.”
I laugh. “Okay.”
Dr. Jennings smiles at me. “So you work here?”
“Yes. I’m one of the part-time pharmacists.”
“Wow. I didn’t know they kept pretty women like you locked up down there.”
I laugh. “Yep, but don’t worry, once I’m behind the locked door I turn into a total nerd.”
He sticks his hand out. “Nice to meet you. I’m Gavin, maybe I’ll see you around.”
I nod. “Maybe. Thanks for keeping an eye on my sister.”
He starts walking. “No problem.”
I think he was flirting with me. Yep, I may be out of practice, but he was flirting with me. I’m right, I have to move on with my life and he’d be a good first step.
CHAPTER 13
GIBBS
I saw Gia in the kitchen talking to Jade and there is no damn telling what she said. If Jade’s reaction when I got to her car was any indicator, it pissed her off.
Gia clutching my arm right now is pissing me off. I tug my arm away. She crosses her arms and walks off, pouting like a damn child. She knows how I feel about her. I’ve made it clear to everyone that she’s living in my house so that I can help with her pregnancy and the baby. I have no romantic interest in her. I should have went by Huck’s old adage and double bagged it. I might not be in this mess right now. Not that I don’t want to care for my child, but I really wish it was with anyone but her. Her brothers all took the news a lot better than I thought they would. Mox was kinda pissed for a few days, but Huck talked to him. Sly was just pissed he was left in the dark about what was going on and that apparently everyone else knew.
Huck steps up to me as we clean up from the non-party. “So has she talked to you yet?”
I look up. “Who?”
“Jade.”
I shrug. “No, I’ve tried. I even offered to drive her and Eve to the hospital, but she just blew me off.”
“When is Gia’s first appointment?”
I shrug. “She keeps moving it because of her school schedule. I’m hoping soon. I’d like to find out exactly how far along she is and make sure everything is okay.”
Huck shakes his head like there is something on his mind but doesn’t want to say.
“What’s on your mind, Huck?”
He looks over at Gia. “Nothing, man. Just wish this wasn’t all going down like this. You guys go ahead and go. I’ve got this.”
“You sure?”
He waves me off. “Yeah, man.”
Once we’re in my truck, she’s messing around on her phone. “When is your appointment?”
She shrugs. “I don’t know. I’ll have to look. I’ve had to reschedule it so much I’ve lost track.” She cuts her eyes at me. “Why?”
I glance at her like she’s stupid.
He nods. “Dr. Jennings is checking her now. He said that he thinks she could be having trouble with her sugar. When he looked over her blood work from the last few appointments, Dr. Coleman had been worried as well.”
