The Addition ~ 3
The sound of her pager beeping made her bolt up. She grabbed her head from sitting up too quickly. She looked out the window and saw that it was light outside. She picked up her pager and looked at the number of the person who called. Toby. "Why would he be paging me?" She wondered out loud. She picked up the phone, only to notice that there was no dial tone. "Damn." She then saw the batteries to the cordless phone in her room laying next to the phone. She put them in and dialed Toby's number.
He picked up at the first ring. "CJ?!"
"Toby? What's wrong?"
"G-d, CJ, I thought something had happened to you when there was no ring at the other end." Toby said in one breath.
"Relax, I'm fine. I unplugged my phone."
"Why?! CJ, what if something happened to you, what if there was some sort of emergency, what if--"
"Toby, will ya shut up already?! Jeez, I swear, if you were here right now, I'd have to knock you unconscious."
"Sorry...So, how are you feeling?" He asked after a slight pause.
"I'm just fine, thank you. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to make a very important phone call."
"Oh? To who?"
"It's whom."
He sighed, "Whatever. Who are you calling?"
"That is none of your business. Sorry."
"Fine. Just...are you feeling better?"
She could tell that there was real concern in his voice. "Yes, I am. I'm feeling much better."
"Good. I guess I'll let you go now."
"Thank you. That's the first wise thing you've said all morning."
"I'm hanging up now," he said. "Bye."
"Bye." She hung up the phone and shook her head. She then picked up the letter and dialed the number that was on there. She waited patiently for someone to answer it.
"Good morning, D.C. Metropolitan Children's Home. This is Jenny, how may I assist you?" The woman on the other end said.
"Hello, this is Claudia Jean Cregg. I received a letter from you yesterday about--"
"Yes, ma'am. One moment please."
"Okay..." CJ said as she was put on hold.
"Hello, Ms. Cregg, this is Daniel White. I gather that you received our letter yesterday?"
"Yes, I did. It says that I have to come in and see her one more time before--"
"Yeah, how would 3:00 this afternoon work for you?" He asked.
"Uh, that will be fine," she said with a smile.
"Great. I'll schedule you in then. We'll be looking forward to seeing you Ms. Cregg." He then hung up the phone.
CJ hung up as well. She couldn't seem to stop smiling. It was actually happening. She was finally going to be able to meet her.
