Marge poked her head around the door to Linda’s office and grinned.
“Well? What did Deputy Dawg have to say?”
Linda shook her head, but she couldn’t help smiling as her head nurse
entered. Marge was a tall older woman with close-cropped grey hair and a
no-nonsense manner. Having worked at the hospital for many years, she’d
been extremely suspicious when Linda arrived to be the new chief
administrator. Linda had been equally wary, but the two of them had
developed first a mutual respect and then a genuine friendship.
“You shouldn’t talk that way about Deputy Rawlings. He’s a good man.”
Marge snorted.
“Didn’t say he wasn’t—but I went to school with Bob. He’s thick as two
bricks.”
Since she couldn’t really deny Marge’s statement, she shared her news.
“He came to tell me that he’d heard back from the police in Tennessee.”
Three weeks ago, a young couple had been in a terrible car accident on the
highway outside of town. The husband had died at the scene. The wife had
been rushed to their hospital, but she died after giving birth to twins, leaving
the babies orphaned. Deputy Rawlings had traced the license plate and asked
the police to find out if they had any known relatives.
“Well?” Marge demanded.
“He said they haven’t found anyone. None of their neighbors ever heard them
talk about family.”
She couldn’t help feeling a pang of sympathy for the couple. She knew only
too well what it was like not to have any family. Even the bond she thought
she’d formed with Edward’s mother had been broken in the divorce—the lure
of a promised grandchild much more attractive than the daughter-in-law who
hadn’t been able to give her one. It’s in the past, she reminded herself firmly,
refusing to let bitterness taint the evening.
“And I’ve already spoken to June.” June was the supervisor for the local
Department of Social Services, and she’d been the first person Linda called
with the news. A wave of excitement rushed through her as she smiled at her
friend. “They’re going to let me foster the twins until they’re eligible for me
to start adoption proceedings.”“I’m so glad,” Marge said sincerely, squeezing her hand.
“You’ll make a
wonderful mother. With a full house,” she added. “That is, I assume Rachel
and her baby are coming home with you as well?”
“Of course they are. As soon as she recovers.” She gave Marge a worried
look. “How’s she doing?”
