"From here on out, subsequent treatments would be carried out to endure the boy has a speedy recovery and for that to happen," Doctor Bailey glanced down at the clipboard in his hand, reading through the words of his superior, or better yet, the person who had carried out the operation and examination on Ashley, before facing Leonica, who was eagerly awaiting his continuation. "The hospital needs the boy's biological father to sign an agreement and be brought in for an examination." As the last of those words rolled off his tongue, Leonica's expression flat out fell.

"What?"

"An examination needs to be carried out on the boy's biological father, as well as he signing agreements approving the treatment. Your signature of course would also be needed." Doctor Bailey explained once more, unaware of the effects his words were having on Leonica.

Ashely's father...oh cheery fucking Christmas,

First her son gets into an accident and now she has to involve his freaking father.

Just the thought of that alone made dread wash over Leonica.

But then again, if she didn't involve his father, then that would mean Ashley's life and health would be put at risk and eventually he could...

The unspoken possibilities made Leonica's chest tighten and her eyes fluttered several times. Releasing a shaky breath, she tried to compose herself, but just as she took a step back, her knees buckled.

Fortunately, just as she felt her body begin it's descend, a pair of strong arms wrapped themselves around her waist, hoisting her up.

"Hey, hey Pull yourself together." Gabriel tried putting her back on her feet, arms wrapped around her waist.

Gabriel was surprised to hear her voice and just barely caught her face before he realizes that fresh set of tears had began streaming down her face again. "Please..." She begged and Gabriel didn't have it in him to refuse her, especially not when she looked as though she would fall apart at the slightest touch. Slowly, his hands slipped away from her waist and Leonica wasted no time in stumbling away,

But I didn't and watching her, Gabriel could only but wonder why she was taking the news so badly.

'How hard is it to find one man,' he thought, glancing back at Ashely when he recalled Ashely school speech about his father being a spaceman

It certainly wouldn't be that hard for Leonica to find him...or perhaps she didn't want to find him.

Perhaps he had hurt her and that was why she was reacting in such a way.

The thought of him hurting Leonica made Gabriel's blood boil. He balled his fist, feeling the sudden urge to punch the face of Ashely's real father.

But putting that urge aside with a sigh, he stepped forward to speak with Leonica who looked like she was considering a thousand decisions, finger nail in her mouth as she munched on it.

"Leonica, are..." He began, however, the said female's voice cut through his sentence.

"It's you." She suddenly declared.

Gabriel's brows drew together in confusion.

"Huh?"

Eyes fluttering once more, Leonica swallowed before continuing, determination to save her son written all over her face. "Ashely's biological father...it's you."
