Secrets

The day of Dr. Read's funeral
Dee stared blankly at the mirror as he got himself ready, the realization of the fact that Dr. Read was really gone hit him hard. He bit his lip to try to keep his emotions in order for the time being, he'd hate to just break down before he even got to the funeral. Dee gelled up his hair and slicked it back as he pondered all of what his sister said to him the other day.
Telling him he'd make a fine parent and everything was nice and all but for some reason he had his doubts about it. But then again when Ryo took Bikky in Dee helped on occasion on taking care of the irritating brat. He was always in the way when Dee was trying to cort Ryo into a relationship with him that took two years. There was something else he didn't like about the kid other then that but he couldn't think of what it was. He couldn't really blame Bikky he secretly liked the kid and not sure why since he was always in the way.
Dee stepped out of the bathroom and headed for the door. Ryo smiled at him as he handed him his coat. "Are you ready Dee?"
Dee nodded. "Where's Bikky is he coming?"
"He's already in the car, we still have to go pick up Mikey right?"
"Yes."
The two of them headed out the door to the car. Ryo then drove down to the orphanage to pick up Mikey. Bikky was happy to see him it gave him someone to talk to during this whole thing. Dee let a smile cross his face for the first time that day he was glad Bikky and Mikey could be considered friends it was very reassuring. Mikey had seemed pretty down these last couple of weeks, Dee didn't pretend to know why he was pretty sure it had to do with a certain girl he secretly like. Kids are so predictable.

The four of them sat in chairs at the cemetery while the Eulogy was given by an elderly woman roughly around Dr. Read's age. Dee sat there tense like refusing to let tears fall from his face as they began to lower the coffin into the ground. The elderly woman who had given the eulogy came up to Dee.
"Dee Laytner." she said.
Dee turned and looked at for a moment. "Yes?" He asked.
"Dee Laytner, my your glowing pregnant again are you?"
Dee wasn't sure on what to say at the moment as Ryo wrapped his arm in his. "I see this must be the other father, wow you picked a good one this time Dee." The elderly lady said with a grin
Ryo began to blush at that comment. "Um...who are you?" Dee asked.
"Oh forgive me I am Marianne Harper, the nurse who attempted to help you through your first pregnancy. Of course i decided to retire after that."
Mrs. Harper turned and looked at the two young boys standing next to Ryo and Dee. "Are these your boys Dee? That kid is got to be close the age of your...."
Suddenly it struck and struck hard remembering everything of him being pregnant the last time he glanced over at Bikky and Mikey and did a small calculation in his head. Dee was dumbstruck at that, he didn't know what to say or what to do but he couldn't face her or the two teens beside him, he turned and walked away leaving just about everyone confused.
"I do apologize if I said something offensive. Maybe I shouldn't have brought it up." Mrs. Harper said.
Ryo was a bit concerned about it. "I better go check up on Dee." Ryo said as he said goodbye to Mrs. Harper and headed in the direction Dee went.
"Your not Nurse Harper." Mikey said.
"Of course I am dear who else would I be?"
"No, Nurse Harper is a young woman with long blond hair, blue eyes and hot figure."
"You don't say? Well it looks like I will have to go and meet this Nurse Harper from which you speak.

Ryo followed the direction Dee had went to find him sitting down against a large willow looking up at the branches. Ryo came over and sat quietly beside him for the time being. "Dee, what's wrong?" He finally asked.
Dee didn't say anything for a moment. "It's nothing." He said. But Ryo was sure there was something and he needed to know. "Why did you walk off like that? What did she say that make you just leave?"
Dee bit his lip pondering whether or not to say anything Dee let out a sigh before he began. "Talking to her just reminded me of the pregnancy i had before you, which naturally brought back bad memories for me then she mentioned the boys and it got me thinking."
"Bikky and Mikey are..." He paused for a moment "They would be..." again he stopped.
"They would be around the age of your first kid had you not misscarried." Ryo said finishing his sentence for him. Dee didn't say anything "So that's it then, that might explain a good deal between you and your relationship with Bikky, Mikey, and Carol. Come on its lunch time we should go and get ourselves something to eat need to feed the twins you know." Ryo said holding out his hand to him.
Dee ran his fingers over his swollen abdomen for a moment before he grasped Ryo's hand.

Mrs. Harper aka Nurse Harper decided to go and do a little investigating on this young Nurse Harper that Mikey mentioned. As she headed towards the hospital she realized the only one who'd recognize her as Nurse Harper would be Dr. Turner. She spotted the young nurse Mikey had described to her coming out of the hospital obviously getting off shift.
Mrs. Harper followed at a safe pace before she decided to call out to her. "Nurse Harper!"
the young nurse turned and smiled. "Yes?" she said sweetly until she noticed the elderly woman coming towards her. Her smile quickly turned into a frown as she noticed exactly who it was.
"What do you want?" she retorted just a little bit agitated.
"I want to know why you do what you do?"
"What do you mean I only do what you did. I help the sick, the wounded ect."
"Don't give none of that! Who the heck are you? and why pretend to be me?"
"My aren't we nosy, you senial old woman well we will just have to take care of this problem now won't we." The nurse said with a smile crossing her lips.
"What do you mean?"
