The doctor came in at nine o'clock to check on her and she was asleep. Andy had slept for about an hour before he woke to a tap at the door. Gently he woke her and told her that the doctor was ready to check her. Dr. Decarlo said he would see what he could do to get her released later that afternoon or early the next morning. He checked her over thoroughly making sure that there was nothing else wrong. Her wounds were doing well and her staples were supposed to come out within a few weeks. She was bruised and a little weak from the lack of food and water but basically she was going to be fine. She just needed a little rest and to take things easy for a while. Andy informed the doctor that he would care for Jordan for a while till she was well enough to be left without worry. The doctor agreed that it would be good for her to have him there for a while till her wounds would allow her a bit more freedom. She was also supposed to check back in a week to make sure that everything was healing properly and that nothing else was wrong. Jordan could not wait to get back to the hotel and relax a little. Hospitals always made her tense.
The doctor left and they stared at each other for a moment before she leaned her head back against the pillows and closed her eyes. Andy broke into her thoughts by asking her if she wanted to rest some more or talk. Sleeping was probably a lot safer than talking but she opted for talking anyway. "What would you like to talk about?" She asked without opening her eyes. Andy thought for a moment before he replied. "How about your son, how old is he?" Jordan smiled at the mention of Cody. "His name is Cody and he is five years old but of course he thinks he is grown. He is into all kinds of sports like tennis, football, basketball, and baseball. I play soccer with him too. We always have a lot of fun together. Sometimes we go bike riding together. Our street is really quiet so we can just race up and down." She glanced over at him briefly before looking at the flowers from Clark sitting next to her. "What about you do you have any kids?" She asked curious about his interest in Cody and whether or not he liked kids. "No I've never been married nor had children but I have always wanted to." Turning her full attention to him now she studied his face. There was a hint of shyness there. "So why didn't you?" She leaned her head back a little to ease the pain and take some of the pressure off her forehead and side. "I guess I have just never found the right woman. There are plenty out there but none of them seemed to like me for me. They always wanted to change me and turn me into some sort of socialite pretty boy which I am not." He gave her a quick smile. "So what are you? I mean don't you enjoy going to parties and things like that?" "Sure I do and I always have a good time but I also enjoy just a quiet walk down the beach on a starlit night. My life doesn't revolve around being the most talked about for that season or whether I put in the largest donation for whatever charity. I just like to visit with everyone and find out the latest news on the markets." "Well that doesn't sound too bad to me, but I guess a lot of people like it to be the center of their life." Jordan's eyes closed and she breathed deeply. Andy glanced over to see Jordan with her eyes closed and a peaceful look. He ended the conversation for the moment.
