Chapter 8: Poor Bee
Eric just stood there dazed.
"I should go…" said Naughty.
""No, Naughty," Eric said. "You should stay. I think I should be the one leaving. It seemed that you two had something going on."
"Really, this is not what it looks like," said Naughty.
Bee just lay there stunned, looking at Eric, then Naughty, then back at Eric again.
"Eric…" she said.
"No look, I'm gonna go outside."
"No, Eric, wait…" Be pleaded, but Eric went outside. Bee closed her eyes: What have I just done?
"Eric," said Naughty following him outside. "Look…it's not what it looks like."
"Then what is it?" yelled Eric. "You just kissed my fiancée!"
"Look, Eric, Bee is confused. She had your kids. She's not herself right now."
"You have a major crush on her!"
"Used to have a major crush on her," Naughty shouted correcting him. "Look Bee's just confused; all that medication she took is making her not think straight. Yeah, I may have used to have a crush on Bee, but I'm over it now; you two are a perfect match for each other. I mean come on, she just had your kids!"
They paused, then Naughty said, "Here, Eric. Let me show you something."
They walked down the hallway passed Lena, Carmen, and Tibby, and took a right at the end. Entering though a set of double doors, Naughty and Eric turned and faced a glass window.
"Look there," he said pointing to two little bundles on the other side of the window. "These are your kids."
Eric stood there and looked in awe at those two bundles of joy. He forgot about his argument with Naughty. Nothing else mattered but this thought: I'm a father now.
Eric was silent for a moment, and then said quietly, "Can I see them?"
"Sure," said Naughty. "Hold on a sec."
Naughty went through the employee's door and talked to the nurse for a minute. Finally, he came back pushing in front of him an incubator cart hold the twins.
"Here," he said, handing Eric a little bundle wrapped in pink. "This is Alicia."
Eric held up her head and said, "Hey, little girl, I'm your daddy."
Naughty handed Eric another little bundle wrapped in blue. "This is Eric Jr."
Eric held this other bundle with his other arm. "Hey, buddy. I'm you da-da."
He stood there holding both of them and realized, OMG! These two bundles are now my kids. He looked into their innocent blue eyes and knew what he had to do.
In the mean time Bee was laying there miserable. How could I have mistaken Naughty for Eric! OMG, I'm so stupid!
"There was a soft knock of the door.
"Come back another time," Bee moaned.
"No, Bee, its us," called Carmen.
"Yeah, we're here to cheer you up," said Lena.
"Let us in before I break the door down," yelled Tibby. "One…two…"
"Alright come in already, the doors unlocked," said Bee.
"Thank you," said Tibby jokingly. "You had me worried there for a sec. I thought you were actually gonna make me break down that door."
"We can't have that happening," said Carmen.
They came in and surrounded her bed, all of them trying to climb on top of it.
"Congratulations," Carmen, Lena and Tibby all said squashing Bee a big bear hug. "Welcome to parenthood!"
They were silent for a minute.
"Bee…you ok."
Bee lay there crying silently.
"It's ok," said Carmen rubbing her shoulder. "Everything's going to be ok."
"N-no…i-it's not," Bee sobbed. " I-I thought N-naughty was E-eric a-and…
and I k-kissed him."
"Come here sweetie," said Lena with tears in her eyes, opened up her arms to give her a hug. "Don't worry. I'm sure Eric will understand that you were confused. Don't worry about it."
"How…h-how can I-I not w-worry a-about it I-if I m-mistak-ed Naughty f-for Eric."
"She's got a point there," said Tibby.
"TIBBY!" groaned Lena and Carmen giving her a dirty look.
"What!" she replied back defensively.
"N-no, sh-she's right."
"No, Tibby's just being a pain in the butt right now. Come on, girls; let's let Bee rest awhile. Come one Tibby."
Lena dragged Tibby from the room by the ear while Tibby made squawking sounds and funny faces; this made Bee smile a little. Carmen followed her mouthing to Bee "Get some rest" before shutting the door quietly behind her and turning to yell at Tibby.
Bee lay down and looked the ceiling. Her forehead felt warm like she was starting to get a fever. She remembered back to that time at camp when she had a high fever, and Eric broke into the infirmary and got medicine for her and how he wrapped his arms around her and held her all night. Oh how she missed those arms holding her!
Slowly, he walked back to the room carrying them; Naughty followed close behind. Eric saw Lena dragging Tibby out of Bee's room by the ear while wiping tears away, Carmen followed them, scolding Tibby for being so thoughtless. He grinned and nodded at them; he paused and took a deep breath before knocking softly and letting himself in the room.
Eric quietly walked over and sat down next to Bee. Her eyes were closed and her forehead warm. He kissed her forehead and her eyes fluttered open.
"Hi honey Bee," he said. "Look, I'm sorry I freak out on you."
Bee nodded.
"I love you more than anything in the world and I know that you didn't mean to kiss Naughty. I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry, too," she whispered. "And I love you."
