The smell of disinfectant and latex..
The sounds of hustle, bustle and beeping machines..
The scrubs..
Jonathan Leveque hated the hospital. Ever since he could remember, he passed up opportunities to visit family and friends because of his aversion. He found it easier to just send a card or flowers; truth be told, he would do pretty much anything other than spend time in a hospital.
Today was different. Despite his revulsion, he was jubilant inside. A mixture of trepidation and joy was spreading inside of him like he had never known before.
When he arrived at the room, he was pleasantly surprised at how clean and tidy the room was for the amount of bloody and life shattering events the room hosted. There, in the center of the room surrounded by six Filipino nurses in a rainbow of different Scrubs as well as the doctor, was Nora Townsend Leveque, cradling the cucooned and swaddled child that made this whole gathering happen.
Nora looked tired, yet exuded a glow of pure joy. Her blond hair pulled back with strands hanging on the side of her head, sweat on her brow, and a beautiful face, she was central castings ideal look for a glamorous mom just after the rigors of two days of labor. Jonathan was stunned at the emotions within him. It felt as though a great ancient battle was taking place in his soul, and one of the casualties was his voice. The doctor woke Jonathan from temporary shock.
“Mom and baby did great..Was surprised you weren't here for the event..”
This comment rankled Jonathan but he tried to respond as non chalantly as possible..
“Well..I've always had a fear of..Blood...Hospitals..And I knew Nora would do great..
“Yes yes...Well, we will leave you alone..Congratulations Mr. Leveque..Enjoy this time with your family “
As the Entourage left, Nora and Jonathan gave their best smiles and sincere thank yous to the staff..When the door closed, Jonathan walked to Nora..Nora looked to him, smile still on her face, a look Jonathan knew all too well..Nora spoke with an ethereal calm…
“Jonathan..Maybe its the moment..Or the drugs..But I have to tell you some things…”
“Nora can't we just…”
“No Jonathan...We can't..And shame on me for waiting until this moment…”
With a sigh and Jonathan's full and worried attention, Nora began on that same, sweet voice..
“When I first saw you..I was hooked...The others in class, they saw an aloof trust fund kid..But I saw more..I saw your brilliance, and was attracted to it like a moth to flame..The more time we spent together, the deeper I fell..to the point I could never say no to you..When we got married at your father's insistence, I was hoping you would finally show me some attention aside from psychology discussions..When I offered you my body, the first man, the only man I've ever wanted to do so, you rejected me..And when you wanted a child, I..
“Stop it Nora!”
“Shhhhh….the baby is sleeping...Please..Let me finish..I went so far as to….lose my virginity to a fucking turkey baster.. just so I could have the chance to have you inside of me..The sperm thawed..You never did..And now, these many years later, I finally realize the one thing I've always wanted, I can never have…”
“Nora…”
“It's okay Jonathan...This child..This is the last of myself I can give to you..i cannot live like this anymore...The lies..The daily mis truths...Yeah it's great being Mrs. Jonathan Leveque oh how lucky she is they say...But if they only knew…”
“Nora...Please...Please…”
“Don't worry Jonathan..Your secrets are safe with me..I know what you have to lose and frankly my practice would be the one to suffer without your name on the door, so you know what I have to lose...But when my stay here is done, I will be taking residence at the Chateau in Switzerland for a while under the guise of recovery...In reality..I need to find a way to live without you…”
“Nora..I'm so so sorry…”
“I'd much rather hear...you’re welcome…”
Just then, Nora's phone rings..A very appropriate ring tone as Nora kisses the small infant on the forehead and hands him gently to Jonathan who cradles him nervously…
“Just gonna stand there and watch me burn..
That's alright because I love the way it hurts..
Just gonna stand there and hear my cry..
That's alright because I love the way you lie..
I love the way you lie..”
The sounds of hustle, bustle and beeping machines..
The scrubs..
