to her cell opened.  Prieto stood there waiting, and she found her annoyance building as she realized the angel had been listening to them.  Grabbing up her bag, she left the cell and followed him back to the place where they would transport.
    Prieto deposited her at her apartment without much conversation.  When he disappeared, Rhiannon tossed her doctor’s bag onto the kitchen table and then opened the refrigerator in search of sustenance.  A warm smile spread across her face when she saw a box from her favorite Thai restaurant.  The handwritten note on the front read: From Sandy with Love.
    “That man...” Her insides tingled with a warm glow of affection.  She didn’t bother heating up the food, just grabbed a fork and started eating like a starving person.  Chewing a huge bite, Rhiannon made her way down the hallway towards the bedroom.  She paused when she heard Sandy’s voice.
    “Wee, wee, wee!”
    It was all she could do to stop herself from giggling as she peered around the corner to find her super sexy boyfriend sitting on the bed, her nephew lying on his back in front of him.  He was walking his fingers up Remy’s body towards his neck, sending the baby into a fit of hysterical laughter.
    “What are you laughing at, you silly boy?” Sandy said in mock-anger as he lifted Remy and then rolled onto his back to hold the boy up in the air as if flying. “Look at Remy!  Oh no, he’s gonna crash!” He lowered her nephew down until his nose touched Sandy’s. “Boink!”
    Again Remy fell into peals of laughter.
    “Seems like I might be interrupting boys’ night.”
    “Hey!” Sandy sat up quickly, perching Remy across his arm. “Auntie Rhia’s home.”
    The kiss her boyfriend gave her was sweet yet with a touch of promise for more.  Remy meanwhile reached out for her fork, trying to bring it to his drooling mouth. “What are you doing?  Are you trying to eat my supper?” She smacked an open-mouth kiss to his chubby cheek, making a sucking sound.  More baby laughter had her giggling, too.
    “I thought he’d be asleep,” she told Sandy before stuffing the last bite of Thai into her mouth.
    “Well, we were waiting for you.  I thought you’d want to say goodnight.”
    “Aw.” She leaned in and gave her boyfriend another kiss. “Thanks, babe.  Want me to put him down?”
    “Nah, he’s ready to pass out now, so you go sit and I’ll be in there in a few.”
    True to his word, Sandy wasn’t more than five minutes putting Remy to sleep.  Of course, he had the powers she didn’t to settle the little one down.  She was sitting on the couch, enjoying a small bowl of ice cream when he approached, brushing her hair aside to nuzzle her neck.
    “Everything okay?”
    “Oh, I’m just worried about this case.  I don’t have any idea how to help this patient.” Even though Prieto had indicated she should keep the matter confidential, her relationship with Sandy was important enough that she’d shared with him a few of the basics about Red’s situation. 
    “Tough one, huh?”
    She nodded, licking her spoon, then tapping it against her lips.  “Yeah, tough.  I keep waiting for a Grey’s Anatomy moment.  You know, the doctors always get that brilliant and totally unorthodox idea to save the patient.  But I’ve got nothing.”
    He sat down beside her and pulled her back into his arms, letting her rest her against his chest. “There aren’t always magical solutions available... pun intended.”
    “I don’t want to think about it right now.  Now, I just want to sit here with you.”
    “You got it, sweetheart.”

    T he days passed in a blur for Rhiannon, turning to weeks and then a month.  Learning to be a surrogate mommy on the fly wasn’t easy, especially for a practicing doctor/vet.  Thank goodness she had Sandy to help, or she wasn’t sure what she would have done.  As it was, she was starting to think maybe Rhetta wasn’t coming back...
    ... that was,
