((Aw, Eli! And holy crap, I just got a plot bunny!!))
"Your blood tests came back fine, Natalie. Good. How's the new medication?" Dr. Hanson asked Natalie as she sat on the examination table in a room down the hall.
"Makes me a little nauseous, but other than that it's alright."
He nodded. "Just keep taking them. Try eating first, it might help. Alright, dear, I'll see you in four weeks." He hugged her, then left her to gather her things.
Natalie left the room, walking down the hall towards the exit, which is when she heard a little girl say 'You are a sore loser, Eli Green.' She stopped at the doorway, staring.
Nora saw her and called out. "Natalie! Hi!"

((OHHH damnnnnn.))
Eli blinked when he saw her. What was Princess Natalie Duncan doing here? He looked at Nora, who seemed thrilled to see her.
Violet piped up. "Wanna join our game, Natalie? I have ALL SONS and I'm a stupid accountant, so I do not care if we start over!"
"Hey!" Nora protested. "We can't start over, I'm the superstar with $100,000!"
Eli just sat there, his jaw hanging half open at Natalie. "What are you doing here?"

Natalie carefully walked into the room, dressed more casually than he'd ever seen her, in jeans and a tshirt. "I could ask you the same thing."
She moved to perch on the edge of the bed next to Violet. "I'll just watch, I don't need to play." Violet leaned against Natalie, like cuddling her was the most normal thing in the world.

Eli gave her a confused look, and then cleared his throat.
"All right. My turn." He spun the wheel and moved his car up 5 spaces. "Oh yeah, I win the lottery! $500,000 bucks! In yo FACE, Nora!" Eli collected his money while Violet laughed. Nora crossed her arms grumpily.
The game continued for a little while longer until Violet and Nora got into an argument over whom Eli loved most.
"Ladies. Ladies. There's enough of me to go around! I love you both equally," he assured them, kissing the top of each of their balding heads.

Natalie couldn't help but smile at the way he was with them, and she kissed the side of Violet's head. "Alright girls. I can see the Nurse giving us eyes outside the door. It's nap time I think." Sure enough a Nurse came in to tell the girls to clean up, and telling Eli he was done with his community service for the day.

Eli asked Nurse Minnie to sign his sheet, and stuck it securely in his back pocket. He waved goodbye to Nora, Violet and a couple of the other kids and then he left the ward, walking down the hallway.
"What are you doing here?" He asked Natalie, a question he'd been dying to ask her for the last 20 minutes.

Natalie glanced at him as they walked toward the exit. "If I tell you, you have to swear you won't tell anybody. I haven't told anybody about your court thing, so you need to keep this a secret, too."

Eli grumbled at her. "Why'd you follow me!" He asked, angry again. "That was private."

She gave him a look, pursing her lips. "I was curious, I didn't mean anything by it. Are you gonna keep this a secret or what?"

Eli frowned. "Fine. I won't tell anybody."

She waited until they'd moved out into the parking lot before muttering. "I have leukemia..."

((NOOOO!  .........aaaaaaaand this has just become an awfully lot like "A Walk to Remember" )) Eli froze, stopping right there in the middle of the parking lot. If he didn't just witness the way Violet and Nora knew her himself, he would have thought it was a joke. He frowned, and took her hand. "Nat." His expression reflected a million things. Concern, pity, saddness, and fear. He didn't want to say the obvious things he was thinking, like that she looked healthy, or why did she smoke, or how come nobody knew. So instead he just squeezed her hand. "Wanna get something to eat? Or something?" |

((Aw, that movie makes me cry! My mom had leukemia when I was a kid, so I know a lot about it))
She frowned down at her shoes, but nodded, glancing back up at him. "Okay. That'd be nice."

(( oh no! ))
Eli, who was suddenly shy now, bit his lip. "You can drive. In your cute little beemer."

((She's okay now  no worries!)) She smiled a little, leading him to her car. They were silent a while as she drove before she spoke again. "I'm okay now, ya know. I mean, I'm still sick, but not as bad. I was real bad off a year and a half ago. I left school." She smirked ruefully. "Everybody thought I was pregnant and off having a secret baby." |
