She's gonna start askin' questions about him Some kid as school brings his dad in for show and tell and it gets her little mind a wonderin
Where's my daddy? Do I have one?
Does he not love me like you do?

As soon as the car was stopped she jumped out, heading at a brisk walk to where her baby was. The people here already knew her, this past hour was the only time she had left. She made her way through pediatrics, into a room with a crib in the middle and a little angel sleeping - her skin pale, her body tiny..looking much younger then she was.

He follows close behind, dark eyes worried and tense as he looks down on his daughter for the first time, pain stabbing at his chest as he took in her frail appearence... he glanced up to her, frowning slightly "How soon can they find out if I'm a match?" (NT) -- Marc, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 3:27pm PDT
"They had to run some tests first and then take blood and send it in.." She let out a breathe, reaching down and soothing back the toddlers hair. (NT) -- Ash, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 3:31pm PDT
He nodded, settling down beside the crib, his dark features set as he watches the little girl, elbows propped on his knees, hands clasped at his mouth "Can we do it now? run the tests?" (NT) -- Marc, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 3:43pm PDT
She smiled softly as a tiny little voice was heard. "Mama?" The little girl shifted, rubbing her eyes. "Sweetie..mama's here.." She stood immediatly, leaning over the crib. (NT) -- Ash, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 3:47pm PDT
He sat back... he didn't want to suprise or frighten her...he glanced up to Ashley cautiously, setting his jaw (NT) -- Marc, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 3:48pm PDT
She gently lifted her from the crib, kissing her cheek lovingly. "Mama wants you to meet somebody ok?" The little girl nodded, rubbing her eyes before they landed on Marcus. "This is daddy, remember mommy told you we were coming to see him?" (NT) -- Ash, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 3:52pm PDT
He sent her a grin, fighting with himself to deliver it, she looked so small and frightened "Hey Jesse... " (NT) -- Marc, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 3:55pm PDT
The little girl looked to her mommy for a long time before she reached out for the man - she was always friendly and sweet, even when she was so sick. Ashley handed her over, tears welling in her eyes again. (NT) -- Ash, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 3:58pm PDT
Tears came to even his eyes and he laughed softly, taking her in his strong arms carefully " I've been wantin' to see you for a long time... " from when ashley had first told him she was pregnant... (NT) -- Marc, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 4:03pm PDT
She smiled softly, swallowing back the tears as she watched her daughter cuddling against his broad chest. (NT) -- Ash, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 4:08pm PDT
He held her carefully, laughing gently as she hugged him, suprised at how much strength she had (NT) -- Marcus, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 4:11pm PDT
"She doesn't stay awake long..." Ashley murmured, sitting down. She herself looked almost sickly, tired and drawn. (NT) -- Ash, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 4:13pm PDT
He nods lightly watching the little girl settle in his arms, growing visably tired (NT) -- Marc, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 4:17pm PDT
Soon enough she was asleep against his chest and Ashley was leaning back in the rocker, swallowing back tears. (NT) -- Marcus, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 4:20pm PDT
He watched her silently for some time, he too holding back tears with a struggle, brow furrowed gently, whispering to Ashley "Should I put her down?" (NT) -- Marc, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 4:25pm PDT
She smiled softly, biting her lip, tears slipping over her lashes. "Whatever you want to do.." (NT) -- Marcus, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 4:26pm PDT
He chooses instead to settle in another chair by her, staring down at their daughter in both amazement and anguish, this shouldn't happen to shuch a small, beautiful little child (NT) -- Marc, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 4:32pm PDT
She watched them for a moment before she let out a shaky breath."Thank you..for coming...for seeing her.." (NT) -- Ashley, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 4:34pm PDT
He frowned gently, his gaze fixed on the child, still not quite having forgiven her mother "I would have been there from the start... through everything..." (NT) -- Marc, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 4:42pm PDT
She looked over to him and the child - so many regrets going through her young mind. Maybe it was her punishment..the reason her baby was sick was because of her sins and her deceptions..she didn't know. Biting her lip she stood, mumbling something about talking to a nurse and hurried out of the room. (NT) -- Ashley, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 4:44pm PDT
He glanced up and frowned, sighing a little as she hurried out...she didn't need him making her feel and worse than she already did ... he was just bitter... (NT) -- Mar\, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 4:49pm PDT
A good twenty minutes later she came back in with a doctor - though she hung back while the doctor went to talk to him about the tests and thngs that would be required. She sighed softly, looking around at the chair that was going to be her bed for the next few weeks. (NT) -- Ashley, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 4:54pm PDT
He was growing frustraited with the doctor, he wanted to get this mving as soon and as quickly as possible... if he wasn't a match they would need to find someone else... (NT) -- Marc, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 4:59pm PDT
She could see his frustration and noticed that Jessie was waking up so she finally went over, laying a soothing hand on Marc's arm. "Thank you Dr. He'll be up tomorrow for the tests." She nodded a bit at something else that he said before he left and she looked to Marc. "It took me a while Marc, but I learned that the doctors know more then I do..and they are doing the best they can for her." She'd been going through this for the past 8 months. (NT) -- Ashley, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 5:01pm PDT
He sighed and worked his jaw, shaking his head in frustraition before looking down at his daughter "She needs to get better..." (NT) -- Marc, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 5:04pm PDT
She dropped her hand from his musclar arm slowly as she nodded. "I know..." She bit her lip. "Well...I guess...we'll just see you here in the morning.." She didn't have anywhere to stay here..and she didn't really like to leave Jessica alone.. (NT) -- Ashley, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 5:07pm PDT
He frowns and shakes his head "I'm staying" he wasn't leaving now... he'd be here waiting as soon as the doctor could do the tests... he wasn't going anywhere. (NT) -- Marc, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 5:10pm PDT
She let out a breath, tilting her head, this was going to be an awkward night, but he wasn't going to deny him staying there. "Ok.." (NT) -- Ashley', Sat, Jun 05 2004, 5:14pm PDT
He watches her a moment before standing and returning the little girl to her crib "I'll get the nurses to bring in a bed for you... you'll never sleep otherwise..." He remembered too well her sleeping habits and while he could sleep anywhere... she couldn't. He disappears quickly, not waiting for protest (NT) -- Marc, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 5:18pm PDT
She bit her lip, watching him go, with a sigh she murmured heading over to her babies crib. "He'll be a good daddy for you sweetie, he'll love you lots, and always be there for you...I'm sorry you didn't know him sooner.." (NT) -- Ashley, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 5:21pm PDT
He wouldn't easily take no for an answer... he was a Banks after all and used to getting his way....so it wasn;t too long before a spare bead was wheeled in for Ashley, the nurses, however, not looking too perturbed about it... he could charm the pants of any female. (NT) -- Marcus, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 5:26pm PDT
She didn't even look at them, just spoke softly to her daughter as she fell back asleep. "Mommy loves you..." She had no idea how she was going to pay any of these medical bills, but she wasn't going to tell him that. (NT) -- Ash, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 5:27pm PDT
And he wouldn't give her chance to struggle... he was well off and his family more so... when he has turned 21 a hefty sum had fallen into his hands, and though he had bought his car and his penthouse suit... he still had plenty left, not to mention the his impressive salary... money was never an issue with any of the Banks and as she fell asleep he took it into his own hands to go find out all the information about her insurance, seeing how much was covered and covering any outstanding costs (NT) -- Marcus, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 5:37pm PDT
She hadn't slept in an actual bed for who knew how long. She wouldn't go to her parents for help, she really had no one...so she just stayed with her daughter. She'd fallen asleep almost immediatly in the bed, her blonde hair fanned around her pretty face on the pillow. (NT) -- Ash, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 5:40pm PDT
He returned after everything had been sorted out, and he couldn't help but sigh at the sight of her... it was true... he'd never given up on her, never stopped looking even when her parents were no help... he settles finally in the arm chair and falls into a deep sleep, untroubled by the uncomfortable seat or the wirr of machines (NT) -- MArcus, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 5:45pm PDT
She stretched out slowly, the sun coming through the windows waking up. It was one of the first full nights sleep, well almost full, that she had gotten in a long time. (NT) -- Ash, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 5:47pm PDT
He was already awake, leaning over Jesse's crib, playing with her easily, a grin evident over his handsome features... he glances up and smiles slightly, nodding to the counter "Brought you some coffee..." (NT) -- Marcus, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 5:53pm PDT
She rubbed her eyes, obviously slightly confused. "Marc?" She had always been bad in the mornings. (NT) -- Ash, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 5:57pm PDT
He glances up to her again and cocks a brow "Yeah? you with us yet?" He smirks a touch and looks back to his baby girl, with whom he was quickly bonding "Momma's so blonde in the monrings... you wont have that problem..." (NT) -- Marcus, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 6:02pm PDT
She ran her hand over her hair, stretching out slowly before she slid out of bed to greet the toddler who was calling for her. "She looks..better..today.." (NT) -- Ash, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 6:04pm PDT
He cocked a brow a touch, he'd assumed it was just a morning thing "Yeah?" (NT) -- Marc, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 6:11pm PDT
"Yeah..I mean she has her days when she barely even moves..this is a good day for her..." She pressed a kiss to the babies head, sighing softly."I wish she could leave here...go outside..something.." She smiled a little. "She loves water...grass..anything outside." (NT) -- Ash, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 6:13pm PDT
He frowns a touch and lifts his gaze a little "They wont let her?" (NT) -- Marc, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 6:19pm PDT
She shrugged. "I don't think so..she has so few good days that I have never really tried.." (NT) -- Ash, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 6:22pm PDT
He nods a touch "We could ask... it might do her good..." (NT) -- marc, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 6:26pm PDT
She let out a breath, her brow furrowed "Sure..." She murmured, looking up at him. He was doing this so well...just jumping into it. (NT) -- Ash, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 6:29pm PDT
How could he not? With his daughter so frail and yet adorable... it was impossible not to fall in love for her.. "I have my tests in about ten minutes but then I'll ask..." (NT) -- Marc, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 6:39pm PDT
She nodded a bit, her fingers twirling through Jess's hair. She felt better with him around, she'd been doing this on her own for so long... (NT) -- Ash, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 6:41pm PDT
He watched her quietly a momnent, cocking his head "I sorted some bills out last night... you don't have to worry about that stuff..." (NT) -- Marc, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 6:52pm PDT
She tilted her head - quiet for a long moment before she shook her head, swallowing the lump in her throat. "Thanks..." She murmured, though inside she was planning to pay him back. She was amazed at how good it felt to have someone else be in charge for a little while...to let someone take care of her - even if he didn't really care about her..it was more Jess... (NT) -- Ash, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 6:54pm PDT
He shrugs a touch, glancing down "Well I must have missed double that much in child support..." (NT) -- Marc, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 7:07pm PDT
She swallowed softly, smiling at the baby as she laid back down. before se looked back to Marc. "You work during the day?" (NT) -- Ash, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 7:11pm PDT
- (NT) -- -, Tue, Jun 15 2004, 3:45am PDT
"I work when I'm needed.... I'm in the narcotics team on RDPD" He followed her gaze to their daughter, smirking a touch (NT) -- Marc, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 7:16pm PDT
She nodded a bit, looking away. "Oh..." She bit her lip, watching the little girl go back to sleep. (NT) -- Ash, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 7:19pm PDT
He glances up to her and smiles a touch, cocking his head "You've done well with her Ash..." (NT) -- Marc, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 7:24pm PDT
She shrugged. "I should have told you..." She bit her lip. "Listen..Marcus..I really, really hate to ask you for any favors..." (NT) -- Ash, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 7:28pm PDT
He glanced up to her and shrugged "Ask away..." if it was about Jesse it wasnt a favour... it was a responsibility (NT) -- Marc\, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 7:38pm PDT
She bit her lip."When she's out of here..well I am going to have to get an apartment, and to get an apartment I'll have to work and I don't mind that at all, but I don't want to put her in a daycare...so if you could maybe...just watch her..sometimes..." She was nervous asking him anything. She was just plain nervous around him. (NT) -- Ash, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 7:40pm PDT
He nods easily, a slight smile tugging at his lips "Thats not a favour... I'd love to..." (NT) -- Marc, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 7:46pm PDT
She let out a relieved breath, smiling a bit. "Thanks.." She bit her lip, looking at the clock. "Your gonna be late." Things were good as long as they didn't talk about 'them'. (NT) -- Ash, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 7:48pm PDT
He glanced upto the clock and nodded a little, dipping down to brush a kiss to his daughters head before heading out for the tests (NT) -- Marc, Sat, Jun 05 2004, 7:57pm PDT
