chapter eleven

Marty, Alice, everything tastes great.” Jordan rubbed

her stomach. “I’m going to have to put in extra

miles on the bike tomorrow.”

“Please. You look fantastic.” Samantha had managed to

snare a seat on Jordan’s right. “I bet you could eat my cake and

yours and still not gain an ounce.”

Jordan’s comeback was interrupted by a shout from the

pool. “Mom, watch me, watch me!”

Samantha placed her hand across her brow, squinting

against the sun while trying to focus on her energetic eightyear-old. “I’m watching, honey.”

Running down the diving board, Adam yelled, “Look!”

His enthusiastic command caused most of the heads at the

adult table to turn. But Jordan was still looking at Samantha’s

face, and the next few seconds were eerie as she watched fear

unfold.

“Adam!” Samantha leapt to her feet and ran toward the

pool.

Mac was already in the water, having anticipated the

accident the moment she saw Adam jump into the air. The

misplaced dive that followed caused him to strike his head

pulling while Mac pushed the youngster onto the stone border.

Samantha tried to push them both away as she dropped down

at the prone boy’s side.

Mac gently grasped her shoulder. “Jordan’s a doctor. Give

her a little space.”

Samantha nodded, tears flowing. Though she stopped

trying to elbow Jordan aside, she remained next to her, sobbing.

Unbearable moments of silence passed as Jordan listened to

Adam’s chest, then turned him on his side.

“Is he going to be okay?” Samantha begged.

At that very moment, Adam gasped and spit up a healthy

dose of pool water. Jordan wiped his chin with the tail of

her shirt and examined him carefully. He had a gash on his

forehead and a busted lower lip. Both required stitches and,

damn it, she didn’t have her bag. Several years in the trauma

ward during her fellowship had taught her injuries requiring

quick attention were apt to occur anyplace at any time. As a

result, she kept a medical bag packed and ready in the trunk

of her Beemer, which wasn’t with her today since they had

ridden in Mac’s Jeep.

Leaning in so only the little boy could hear her, she asked,

“Adam, can you hear me?”

She barely caught his whimpered, “Yes.”

“Good. Do you remember who I am?”

He nodded. “You’re Jeremy’s aunt.”

She smiled. “You’re going to be okay, but I want to take

you to the hospital where we can check you out. You okay

with that?” She looked back over her shoulder and was nose to

nose with the boy’s hovering mother. “Samantha, is your car

here or at your house?”

“We walked here. Should I go get it?”

Several voices piped up, offering to drive. Jordan looked

up from the mother and son and realized all the party guests

were gathered around. “You’ve got an SUV, right?” she asked

Marty.

He dragged out his keys. “I’ll carry him.”

Jordan nodded. “Someone toss me a towel and let’s get

this show on the road.”

About two hours later, Jordan finally returned to the

waiting room. “Sorry for the wait. They’re stitching him up

now. His X-rays came back fine.
