Re: CSI- NY " Danvale Case".
In the next chapter, Tony tells the story
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the Hospital
Claire was taken to her room.
"Alright Claire... I'll be back in a few minutes to start an I.V line okay?" "Sure, take your time." Leaving the room Claire leaned her head against Tony's chest. "Are you scared baby?" "A little." "I can tell, you're shivering."
"Good morning Claire. How was your wedding day?" "It was great. We brought you some cake." "Mm... thanks. I'll snack on that with my coffee after your surgery. So you all ready?" "I think so." Aww... don't you be worried Claire, I'm going to take extra good care of you. Just trust in that, okay?"
Shaking her head yes, the nurse walked back in. "Liz do me a favor, and start a sedative for Claire with her I.V drip." "Of course doctor." "So we are all set, I'll see you when they bring you down Claire." Watching as the nurse brought the needle, she turned her head into Anthony's shoulder.
"Okay Claire, you're going to feel a little pinch. There we go, it's all in. Now I'm going to get you a warm blanket okay?" Once the nurse left the room, Tony stroked her hair and kissed her sweet lips.
"I promise you baby, I'll be right here waiting for you. I will not move from this spot till you come back." Laying her down on the bed, the nurse covered her with the warm blanket. Feeling the effects of the sedative, she dozed in and out.
"Hey baby... if you see Delilah on your travels, tell her we love her and miss her." Smiling, she squeezed Tony's hand.
When Claire woke, she was back in her room with Anthony sound asleep on her thigh. Taking her hand she softly stroked his hair. Opening his eyes he seen her smiling at him.
"Hello beautiful, you're awake. Everything went good Claire, the doctor said it looks very promising. She'll be in shortly to talk with you." "How long was I under Tony?" "About three hours, give or take. Are you feeling nauseated or anything?" "Not really, more thirsty."
Reaching for her water he gave her a few sips. Watching as she closed her eyes again, he got up to call mom and dad.
"Hello." "Hey dad, it's Tony. Claire came through the surgery fine. They just brought her back up to her room." "Is she in any pain?" "Not really. She said she was very thirsty, so I gave her some water, and she fell back into sleep. I should be there in a few hours to get the boys. I just need to stop at home for a minute. Then I'll be there."
"Okay son. I'll have them ready for you. See you soon, bye."
"Papa... was that daddy?" "It was son, mommy is fine, and daddy will be here to get you soon." "Yay... we get to go see mommy. Get the flowers James." Running to get the flowers with excitement, Mac laughed.
Meanwhile...
Pulling into his driveway Tony got out and headed into the house.
"Tony... hey Tony." "Mrs. Davies, how are you?" "I'm fine dear. How's our Claire doing?" "She's great. The surgery went beautifully." "Oh that's wonderful dear. Now I need to let you know there was a gentleman here earlier. He said he had a package for you. Asked alot of questions."
"About what Mrs.Davies?" "About where you were. How long you would be gone. When you were coming back. Then he left."
Tony was suspicious. He knew it couldn't be Jerry, he had written him that he wouldn't be returning till next week. Which meant one of two things. Someone outside of their group knew about the gems, and were coming to try and steal them. Which also meant Jerry was most likely dead.
"Are you okay dear? You look pale." "I'm fine Mrs.Davies. Thanks... I'll give Claire your love." Grabbing what he needed for the house, he left to pick up the boys. When he arrived and picked up the boys, he asked his father in law to have Gary meet him at the Hospital.
"Daddy... can we stop and pick mommy up some flavoured coffee,to go with her flowers?" "Of course we can." Pulling into the little Cafe, he ordered a french vanilla coffee and snacks for the boys. Arriving at their moms room, they ran in and found her proped up on pillows.
"Moooooooooommy. Look we brought you flowers and coffee." "Mm... thanks my boys. Can I have hugs." "Sure mommy, but we won't hurt you, will we?" "Nope... just be careful of my tummy, it's still full of gas." "Gas mommy?" "Mhmm. They filled mommy's tummy with gas so they look around in their with a little camera." "Cool... can we see pictures?"
Laughing she said... "no son. That's one thing you can't see." "So mom... does this mean you and daddy can have babies now?" "We hope so Jimmy, would you like that?" "I would. But a sister okay. Someone I can protect." Claire laughed, as did Anthony.
"Hey there's my sis." "Hey bro... what are you doing here?" "I came to see you, and I needed to talk with my brother." "Ahh... I see." Kissing Claire on the lips, Tony left the room with Gary.
When they were in the hall Gary asked... "Okay Tony... what's going on?"
Looking Gary straight in the eyes, he said. "I think we may all be in danger."
