Baby And Me – Episode 24

BABY AND ME Episode 24

 

♡♡♡Seo Yoona♡♡♡

I drove to work using one of Jude’s cars, I had a bittersweet feeling brewing in my body. I felt good about what happened between us last night, we finally got somewhere and I wanted us to take it even further but then his American friends were in the country even the mother of his child, what if they took him away? What if I had to lose him and baby Reign? I finally felt like I had purpose in my life and that was loving Jude and Reign so what would become of me if they were no longer there for me to love, care for and give me purpose?

I arrived at work still in these thoughts, as soon as I entered the hospital, I was met at the door by one of the interns I worked with, I had a new patient on top of all the other patients I already had to check on. We went straight to the patient’s room and it was a little boy

Me “what happened?”

In ho “uh…he just regained consciousness, he was hit by a base ball while playing in the park”

Me “bleeding?”

In Ho “I think its internal”

Me “then why are we still here? Take him for an MRI scan!”

In Ho “yes Dr Seo!” They wheeled out the boy who was slipping in and out of consciousness

Me “page me when you get the results. I have to check on miss Kae In”

In Ho “yes Dr Seo!” I chuckled, he was such a cute and eager young guy and I loved working with him. I quickly went to check on my other patients and that kept me so pre occupied, I didnt even have to time to think about Blair Taylor, Reign’s birth mother and his friends. The hospital kept me busy and I liked that, I liked working and putting my knowledge into practise, neurology was exciting….you can learn everything you can about the brain but since we can never fully learn everything about it, it surprises you everyday, the way it functions and heals itself sometimes. Truly exciting times

During my lunch break, I couldnt even sit down for a sandwich because I had to prep for surgery, the little 9 year old boy I had seen earlier, he was bleeding into his brain and rapidly so we had to prepare for emergency surgery to drain the blood and repair the damage. It was a simple surgery but you can never be too confident about these things, a lot can go wrong on the operating table

Me “Kang In ho?”

In Ho “yes Dr Seo?”

Me “get ready to scrub in” his face broke into a bright smile

In Ho “yes Dr Seo” I smiled back, he was such a lovely person and some of the other nurses. The fellows though….they didnt really like me every time I entered the room, the laughter and chatter would die! Lucky for me I shared an office with someone who minded her own business, Mi Ho did not socialize at all, she came to work and worked! Well I was no different either # sigh

The surgery went successfully and the young boy was going to make a full recovery. I went straight to my office, I just wanted to sit down for a couple of minutes before getting called out again. I slumped on the sofa and closed my eyes

Jude “tired?” I opened my eyes and saw him hovering over me, I sat up

Me “hey what are you doing here?”

Jude “I brought you lunch” he handed me the paper bag that smelled like ddubokki

Me “oohh you’re the best!” He bent down and kissed me, I opened the food and took out the chopsticks, I looked around but I couldnt see Reign “Brec?”

Jude “aahh we couldnt get past the reception desk, everyone wanted a piece of her”

Me “aahhh she gets attention where ever she goes that one”

Jude “our little star”

Me “mm” I started eating and the flavours just melted in my mouth, damn I was hungry

Jude “everything okay?”

Me “your friends”

Jude “aahh! I left them at the house, they were still resting”

Me “what happens now? We just…you know….and I want to see where this thing takes us but now with your friends here and Reign’s birth mom….” he took my food and put it aside then took my hands into his

Jude “baby, we have been waiting months for a chance like this and I wont let anyone mess up what we have just started, I also want to see where it takes us and Yoona, you dont have to worry about Leila, you are Reign’s mother, she loves you…that will never change”

Me “but it doesnt change the fact that she is her mom and I’m not”

Jude “Leila left!” He snapped “she left her when she was only a few days old, at my doorstep with nothing! She then had the audacity to tell me that I should get rid of her should I find that she wasnt mine! Leila is not even a factor right now okay? Dont worry about her” I smiled faintly “I’ll fix everything”

Me “okay” he kissed me

Jude “I’ll go find our daughter, she will be happy to see you”

Me “me too” he stood up and left the room, while I finished eating.

After visiting Yoona at the hospital, I drove back to the house and found Yoo Hye Jung at the gate

Me “Hye Jung” she smiled

Hye Jung “Blair”

Me “everything okay?”

Hye Jung “mm, I was just checking up on you, also I may have left a file here”

Me “aahhh that, I saw it…come in” I opened the gate and we went to the house. I found my guests in the kitchen making themselves at home

Chase “Blair! You’re home…Hye Jung!”

Hye Jung “annyeo Chase” she bowed

Chase “still looking as beautiful as every!”

Hye Jung “thank you”

Me “I’ll get your file” I gave her Reign then went to find her file in one of the drawers in the kitchen “found it!” I held it up

Hye Jung “thank you” I didnt even want to introduce the two strangers in the kitchen with Chase, I just needed her to leave

Me “then, I’ll see you later?”

Hye Jung “yeah okay” she kissed Reign then gave her back to me and she left

Chase “still keeping the old squad I see” I only just looked at him, I didnt have the energy

Me “you guys well rested?”

Jay “yep! Your beds are the sh*t man! Your house is amazing!”

Me “thanks Jay, have you eaten?”

Jay “no, we didnt even know what to make, all this food is so unfamiliar” I grabbed the phone and threw it at him

Me “order in, Chase will tell you where”

Chase “arent you going to cook for us? We’re your guests!”

Me “since I wasnt prepared for any guests, I dont have anything to fully cater to you guys with…so order in or dont eat at all”

Chase “whaaa! When did you become so cold hearted?”

Me “I’m going to put Reign down, she’s tired”

Leila “can I do it?” I looked at her

Me “no”

Jay “uh come on man! She needs to bond with her” I shot him a deadly look

Me “you stay out of this”

Jay “damn! He really has become cold hearted” I shook my head and walked to Riri’s room. I put her on her cot then sang to her, she liked that very much, my voice put her straight to sleep.

I heard them speaking as I walked over to my room

Leila “this harder than I thought it would be, he wants nothing to do with me, not to mention that Reign wont even let me touch her”

Jay “dont get discouraged, you knew it wasnt going to be easy, babies are easy, just keep trying with her and she will get used to you too”

Chase “ya…you can try all you want with Reign but forget any chance with Jude, he is way over you”

Jay “is it because of that girl he was with earlier today?”

Leila “why didnt you tell us about her?”

Chase “I didnt know either but she is an heiress, she was even on the list of Korea’s youngest Billionares, she is a real Chaebol and I know Jude, he’s probably with her to get something. You see guys, he is no longer the guy you all used to know, Jude only looks out for himself and his daughter, every thing he does is to provide a better life for Reign”

Leila “so you’re saying I wont get him back?”

Jay “thats nonsense, Leila is Jude’s first love and the mother of his child, she just needs to show him that she has changed and isnt the heinous cow who dumped him and left him with a new born”

Leila “Hey!”

Jay “which part is the lie?” There was silence so I decided to walk out

Me “have you guys ordered?”

Jay “we’re getting pizza”

Me “okay” I walked to the kitchen and took out the left over spicy noodle stew from the previous night and warmed it up

Chase “Jude, you could at least try to act excited that we’re here”

Jay “I’m getting the feeling that you dont want us here” I looked at them

Me “if I say I dont, will that make me a cold heart jerk?”

Chase “yes!”

Me “look guys I’m sorry if thats how I come across but you must understand, you cant just spring a visit like this on me…Chase knows that!”

Chase “okay okay! Jeez I am sorry…get over it now and just enjoy this time you have with your friends” how could I even begin to enjoy having them around when there was so much at stake now? Yoona and I just got together last night then to top it all off, her father knew my real identity and I couldnt help but worry what he would do with that information and worse part, they brought that Leila to my house! So how could I possibly even begin to entertain them?

The microwave made the ding sound and I took out my food, pulled out a chair and started eating
