Chapter 8
Dr. Joubert swallowed hard, calming her nerves a bit. This part had never been easy for her, even giving the family encouraging news, “Let me first say that I think Detective Delaney will make a full recovery, but it will be a long road. We haven’t even addressed her shoulder injury that will require extensive surgery once she’s strong enough, but first we have to get her stronger. She came really close to dying. She coded twice on the table. Now I know y’all want to help her in this recovery. What I need from all of you is not to put any stress of Officer Delaney and to keep her free of any and all anxiety. Now we have moved her to ICU and I’ve made arrangements for Detective Beaumont to stay the night with her because Detective Delaney requested that she be able to stay. The rest of you can visit every 2 hours, 20 minutes for the parent, 10 minutes for the brothers. Any questions?”
Bud stood up, “I have a question. What gives you the right to decide how much time her Mother and I have with her while Nikki who is not even family gets to be back there with her over night?”
Dr. Joubert cleared her throat, “As I said Mr. Delaney, your daughter requested that Detective Beaumont be allowed to stay with her, and I have every right as her doctor to do what I think is best for my patient.”
“But...” Bud started but before he could finish Mary stood up and looked at her husband, “Bud, sit down and be quiet. The doctor is doing what she thinks is best for Nora.”
Bud stared as his wife, “So you’re fine with Nikki spending the night with Nora?”
Mary smiled a sad smile, “Bud, darlin, I want Nora to be happy and whether we like it or not, Nikki makes Nora happy. I will support them and,” Mary reached her hand out to Nikki, “love both of them. As for Nikki not being family, you’re wrong. She loves our daughter and that makes her family. “
Nikki smiled up at the older blonde woman, fighting the tears. She knew deep in her soul that none of this was easy for Mary Delaney.
Dr. Joubert cleared her throat again, “Now if you can remain calm I will let you see your daughter for a few minutes. But I promise you Mr. Delaney, if you do anything to upset my patient, I will have you removed from this hospital.”
All three of the boys stood up, facing their father, “You won’t have any problems with our Dad,” Jack said as he looked his father directly in the eye, “Will she Dad?”
Bud looked around at his family, then back at the doctor, “I just want to see my daughter.”
Mary reached out for her husband’s hand without letting go of Nikki’s hand, “Come on let’s go see our girl.”
Nikki stood and looked over at Bobby who had a huge grin on his face, “Tell Nora we all love her and we’ll see her tomorrow,” Bobby said.
“Of course I will,” Nikki said softly. “Thank you for all of your support. You guys are the best,” Nikki told the brothers as she fought back the tears.

Nora opened her eyes and looked around the room. It was dimly lit and as she looked towards the widow she realized that daylight would be coming soon. “My God this has been the longest day of my life. I know that Nikki feels that way too. I thought I would never see her gorgeous eyes again.” Nora was brought out of her thoughts as the door opened. She looked up and saw Nikki and her parents walking through the door together. Before tonight she would have tried to hide from her parents what was in her eyes and on her face when Nikki was around. But now she didn’t care. Her family would either accept it or not. All the blonde cared about was Nikki. Nikki was her family and Nora would spend every day making sure the brunette knew it. “Hey darlin,” Nora said softly as Nikki walked closer to the bed. Nikki bent down and lightly kissed Nora on her forehead, “Hey there beautiful. Your parents are here to see you.”
Nora looked over at her parents, “Hey Mom. Hey Dad,” the blonde whispered.
Mary leaned down and kissed Nora on her cheek, “Hey sweetie. How are you feeling? Are you in any pain?”
“My shoulder hurts and I feel like someone has kicked me in my chest,” Nora replied as she watched her father sit down quietly in the chair near the foot of her bed. She looked at him and as they’re eyes met, Nora realized her parents knew about her and Nikki.
Bud cleared his throat, “Your color is better.”
“Yes it’s much better,” Mary added as she looked between her husband and her daughter.
Nikki sat down in the chair next to Nora’s bed. The blonde reached out for her hand and Nikki took it in hers as her eyes met Nora’s, “It’s okay sugar. I’m here and I’m not going anywhere.”
Nora smiled then she looked back at her father, “Do you have something on your mind Daddy?”
“I do, but now is not the time or place to talk about it. It can wait.”
“If it’s about me and Nikki then just say it. Look I know you and Mom know I can see it in your eyes. So just say whatever it is you need to say.”
“I don’t think now is the time to talk about this,” Mary said before Bud could say anything. “The doctor said that we needed to keep you free of stress and anxiety until you’re a little stronger. All that matters is you are alive and still with us. We both love you Nora and all of this can wait. Now your Daddy and I are gonna go home and get some rest. It’s been a long night for all of us. You girls need some rest too.”
Bud stood up and without a word walked out without a word. Mary shook her head and followed him out of the room.
“So how upset is he?” Nora asked as she focused her attention on Nikki.
Nikki stroked the back on Nora’s hand with her thumb, “He’s pretty upset. But your Mom has been very supportive and so have your brothers. They all love you very much. I’m surprised you’re not more upset about this.”
“I was thinking about all of this right before you and my parents got here. And I realized that you are my family, no matter what, it’s you and me. They can either accept us and be a part of our lives or not. The only thing that matters is that I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life loving you.”
Nikki stood up and lightly kissed Nora, “I want that too baby so much,” Nikki whispered.
