Life after Hope.

Diane was filling out a chart when her beeper went off.  She checked the number and
contunued writing.
"Don't you need to check that?"  Susan asked.
Diane shook her head at the younger woman.  "Nope.  It's just letting me dknow that
they've landed."
"They?"
"Yeah, Billy...." her voice faded as she studied the chart.  "If you see him, have him page
me."  Then she was gone.
("Let's do it."  Wild thing plays as we see a shot of Billy's lets, see diaper bag and teddy
bear also.)
The nurse looked up in amusement at the man standing in front of her station.  the black
leather jacket and bad boy posture was belayed by the tender way he was cradlingly the
little girl in his arms.
"I'm looking for Dr. Grad."
"She's with a patient."
"I know that.  I want you to tell me where she is."
"I can't do that..."
"Listen, all i want you to do is point me in the direction.  Now, either you can do this or I
can read the board be hind you and find her myself."
"Billy!"  He truned around to find his wife flying into his arms.  She hugged him and then
releived him of their offspring.  She hugged her daughter almost despertaly.
Billy leanded forward and kissed her forehead.  "How you feeling?"
"Fine."  She met his eyes.  "Tired.  Everything go ok?"
"The house is sold and everything is sbeing shipped."
"You shoud go talk to Dr. Grant upstairs."
"I'll leave her with you?"
"That's fine, isn't it baby girl?"  she replied kissing her daughter's cheek.
"Cool."  Billy kissed his wife.  "I missed you."
"I missed you too."
(music to wild thing as billy heads up the stairs.)
