121 Let The Show Begin - Part 1 (1/2)

”Eli! Eli! Is it true? That your long time flame is now expecting?”

”Eli! What about tomorrow night's gala? There is a rumour that this was engagement announcement between yourself and Miss Laila Steel?”

”Olivia is it true you've murdered your father and tried to off two more men in the process?”

”Laila! Laila!Is there any truth to you being the rightful heir to the Steel estate and that is why you are trying to gain power more power as an attempt to bring your mother down?”

”Out! Out! You vultures! Do you not realize this is a hospital! My niece is 7 weeks pregnant, it's late and she needs rest! Now out!” Robin started shouting from behind a group of reporters. They all turned and instantly paled when they saw a mini army of men ready to pick them up, one by one so they could be throw them out but no one wanted to budge.They each wanted their station to be the first to make their reports on the 11 o'clock news.

”It's alright Robin, I will give them a statement.” Eli said nonchalantly as he walked up to the reporters that had blocked the entryway of Olivia's room. ”There will be an announcement of a union at tomorrow night's gala, so I expect the best of to best to be attending. Have your bosses contact my assistant Robin for further details.”

”But Eli! Eli! We haven't heard the answers to our questions! The public has the right to know!” A Latina looking lady asked as she tried to stop Eli from turning his back to them. Eli gave her and the rest of the reporters a cold glare. The reporters instantly stepped back and knew that they were no longer welcomed. Robin took the initiative to start herding the group away from Olivia's room and towards the exit. As they were walking away they ran into Dr. Foster and quickly surrounded her.

”Dr. Foster! Is it true a Delmira will be born some time in the spring of next year?”

”Dr. Foster! Will the Delmira's be demanding a paternity test to make sure Miss Olivia Steel isn't scamming them, in order to break the relationship between Eli and Laila?”

”Dr. Foster! With your medical expertise, can you say that Miss Olivia Steel is mentally well to even be a mother, considering she murdered her father and tried to murder another two men?”

Dr. Foster instantly turned murderous. She narrowed her gaze, straightened her back and allowed the surrounding temperature drop a few degrees. ”This is highly inappropriate! This hospital belongs to the Delmira family. Do you think your questions are something that should be taken lightly?”

The group of reporters started to shrink back as Dr. Foster's became more fierce. ”Could you at least comment about why you are here?” The same Latina report spoke up, winning the admiration of her colleagues. Dr. Foster sighed and started to rub her temples. She let go of her killing intent and brought forth a beaming smile. ”Well that's simple I came to see my beloved grandson and his future wife! I hope to see you all at tomorrow night's gala for the announcement.” She said cheerfully before she started to walk away.

The reporters tried to follow her but the bodyguards were keeping them at bay. As the were about the give up and leave, someone from the crowd shouted. ”Look! Miss Laila Steel is greeting Dr. Foster outside of the room!” The cameras instantly turned around and some tried to awkwardly shove their cameras in between the arms of the bodyguards in order to capture some of their interaction.

Standing a few feet from Olivia's room, they caught Dr. Foster embracing a sorrowful Laila. Her face showed that she had so much love for this girl and would do anything for her.The moment was touching and the reporters were practically jumping on top of one another. Once they broke their embrace, Dr. Foster handed her a handkerchief then her face became cold.She took a few steps towards the door, looked back at Laila, extended her hand and the both walked in, hand in hand. Overall she didn't look happy going into Olivia's room.

The reporters started buzzing, they couldn't wait to go outside to finish their news report.In one of the side hallways, a beauty with fair skin, with dark hair that was tied into a twist and bright, forest green eyes stood smirking as she watched the reporters leave. Once the coast was clear, she stepped into the main hall and started walking towards Olivia's room with a giggle nurse following behind her.

”Now that my hospital is no longer a zoo we can get things done.” The lady said as she walked into the room. ”What a show! I gotta say it's never a dull moment when you guys are around!” The nurse said as she stepped beside the lady, beaming with delight as she handed her Olivia's file. ”Jessica are you saying that my hospital is a place that lacks enjoyment?” The lady said as she raised her eyebrow.

”It became more enjoyable when I started working her Dr. Delmira.” Jessica answered with a smug look. Dr. Delmira rolled her eyes and stepped forward. ”How's the patient?” She asked as looked over the file in her hands. ”I'd say pretty awesome.” Dr. Delmira shot Jessica a look that made her sigh. ”The patient is doing well, her vitals are stable, there seems to be an iron deficiency and it looks like her body had gone into shock causing the blood to rush to her head.” Dr. Delmira nodded her head.

”So Olivia, since your friends and family are here do you want to hear what we found together or would you like them to leave?” Olivia looked at Dr. Delmira, then at everyone else and with a big smile on her face she faced the doctor again. ”I haven't hidden my pregnancy from them. They couldn't go to the family BBQ when the announcement was made to the whole Delmira family but they have been with me every step of the way.”

”Aw and I couldn't go even though I am family!” Jessica started to whine. Dr. Delmira looked at the girl and smacked the side of her head. ”Since when have you been a Delmira!” She shouted. ”When I marry Owen I will be!” Jessica said as she crossed her arms across her chest. Dr. Delmira sighed. ”He just turned 12! Are you really going to wait 6 more years? You should really stop giving that child hope.”

Jessica gave her a wicked smile as she dropped her arms. ”Not my fault he proposes every time I babysit!Besides who says I'm not taking him seriously, if he finds someone later on and changes his mind then I let him go or fight for him.Depends on what type of man he grows up to be. But honestly we've been together for so long how can I ever be excluded from the event!” Dr. Delmira pinched the gap between her eyebrows before she stepped to the side. She had been intentionally been blocking Samantha from Jessica's sight in order to keep the girls in check. ”One you were working and two, oh look it's Samantha.”

Jessica squealed as she bounced towards Samantha. ”Hello little man how are you today?” She said affectionately as she rubbed Samantha's slightly swollen womb. ”I swear in a few weeks you will expand like a balloon and you'll miss this little 26 week bump! You'll be waddle and everything, we'll need to go shopping for some better maternity clothes though. We want your husband to never want to ...oh...um... he wants a girl...cough... take a few tries... we'll talk later, I should let aunt Lacie... Dr. Delmira finish talking to Olivia.” She said awkwardly as she hugged Samantha and not look at Dr. Delmira's death glare.
