Chapter 2

- You have a crush!

Tori already choked on a similar statement by her nephew. And the boy looked at her with a mischievous look, her reaction directly led him into ecstasy, and he clapped his hands and giggled.

- Who are you talking about? - with a squint, the omega looked at this little prankster, - and in general, where did you get these from.

- You crush for a doctor!" - now on the face of the little alpha, there was a solemnly proud expression, as if he had solved the most terrible secret of the world.

- And why did you decide that I got into it, how do you put it?"

- Well, you looked at her, - thought reckoned on his face.

- Of course, I looked at her, because she examined you, - thoughtfulness gave way to a kind of insight.

- But you sniffed her. - Dad says that only couples can sniff.

Such a conclusion a little unsettled Tori. It seemed to her that if she sniffed, she did it unnoticed. Who would have thought that everything is so obvious? She, of course, hung a little when she smelled the doctor, but not so much like that. Or so? Adam's question cut her off from thought.

- When will dad come? - the kid's face became sad, - he promised.

- Oh, baby. Your dad works a lot, you know that he loves you.

Sadness reflected on the boy's face. For Tory, such issues have become commonplace over the past two years. We can say that she raised Adam instead of her brother. Until that day, Adam was an ordinary boy, he had a full-fledged family. His parents were with him and devoted all their free time to him. Everything changed on his fourth birthday.

Tori still painted scenes of that accident in her head, she almost died, she was lucky. The only reminder was a scar on his shoulder, but her brother's husband, Derek, did not survive.

He was driving when a collision with a truck occurred. They were driving to a birthday party. The driver was distracted and did not notice the red traffic light. The blow came from the driver. Derek died before the ambulance arrived, while Tori had severe blood loss.

After that day, Tory's brother, Henry, changed a lot, he couldn't look at Adam, who was a little copy of Derek. He began to work constantly and no longer played with the son. Omega had to explain to the kid where the second dad had gone, and why his brother avoids him and no longer plays. And then an infection, heart problems and a few surgeries. All this made Henry wake up, but medical bills forced him to transfer to another position. Now he travelled around the country as a company representative and did not have the opportunity to communicate with his son. Adam distracted her from gloomy thoughts.

- I want the same! - the exclamation made the woman turn her head to understand where the nephew is pointing, - look!

Adam galloped and pulled the woman by the hand. Having traced where the boy points, she saw on the other side of the road a child riding a red bicycle.

- Your birthday is coming soon, how about we buy the same as a present?

- What about a toy car? - the face of the little alpha was such a worried expression. He weighed the pros and cons.

- And a toy, but you have to behave yourself.

- I can even make breakfast, - a statement like that could not help but make her smile.

- Alright! We'll do it, you are my little helper, - Omega gently ruffled the boy's hair.

- I'm not little, - the baby scoffed, hands on his chest and a sly look at his aunt.

- Alright. But if big, you should eat the whole dinner - the boy looked at the omega with such a look, as if saying "I know this strategy."

***

- Berman, why are you still here!

- And that said the person who is the reason for my presence here.

At the entrance to the restroom, leaning on a jamb, there was a slender brown-haired woman of short stature. She was wearing a shirt with jeans, and a dressing gown was thrown over.

- Well, guilty without guilt, - Kali gave her friend a careful look, it shone like a polished spool.

- And what are you annoying people with your happy look? I guess your little wife has cleaned your brains.

- We will have a girl, soon someone will become an aunt! - Dr Wei reached into the pocket of her bathrobe, and after a second in her hands were photographs with ultrasound, - look what a beauty!

- Okay, I can forgive this for your unborn daughter, - Valerie grinned sarcastically, - do not take it personally. I want to kick you.

- Come on, how do you like that omega?

- Hmm. What are you talking about? - although Kali knew the subject well.

- Oh, do not pretend, you understand what I'm talking about, - Valerie raised her eyebrows, - she should be your type.

- Too bothersome, and such are not my type, - Kali refused from principle to admit that omega was an attractive enough person.

- Oh, is it true? - The smile on Dr Wei's face became even wider, - as you know. She is free if that.

- Not interested.

- By the way, do you want to stop by for dinner tomorrow?

- You want to appease me, what?

- Can you take a few of my patients, Marie has pressure problems? - You know how she hates hospitals. I take time off for this period, I will look after her. The woman built her puppy eyes and looked at her friend.

- Good, but only because of my love for Marie.

- Hey, do not harass my wife!

- Who is soliciting it? Do you even know the meaning of this word?

- Oh, there's no need to get boring! Get out of here!

And the women headed for the exit from the hospital. It was already dark on the street, but they can't see the stars in the city. Upon leaving, the women trudged to the official parking lot, Wei shoved the fellow traveller in the shoulder.

- A ride for you?

- No, I'm on a bike today, - Kali nodded vaguely to the side.

- Okay, just don't break it yet! - saluting, Valerie turned and ran to one of the few cars in the parking lot.

- Do not croak! - Kali shouted after the retreating figure. She went to her bike, the Yamaha XV950, cruiser class.
