EPISODE TWO
"Grab your back pack Jason! It's on your bed." Jay shouted across from the kitchen to her son.
"Hurry up so you dont miss the bus."
Eight years ago when she made the decision to go to the sperm bank and request a donor, she was terrified. She thought about everything she could possibly think of and how it would affect her child. The stress of being a single lesbian parent in a world that was not same sex relationship friendly and how it might confuse her child. She also knew that she would love him unconditionally the moment she held him in the hospital. She named him Jason after her late brother. Her brother died of Ischemic heart disease. A heart condition that was caused by narrowing of the coronary artery and cutting off supply of blood to the heart. Thats one of the reasons why she went into medicine to save many lives since she could not save that of her brother.
"Hey mum am ready to go" Jason said subtly from behind her. She was startled because she didnt hear him coming, being lost in thoughts.
She put his lunch box in his back pack and walked him to the bus stop which was right in front of her house. They were just in time. She kissed him on his forehead and told him to be a good boy then she set him off to join the other students in the school bus.
She hurriedly went back to her apartment and got her suit jacket and tie. She stood in front of the mirror while she knotted her tie then she went to the garage and mounted her truck.
Within a few minutes she was enroute Amanda's house. It took her about twenty minutes to get there due to traffic. On getting there, she parked in front of the building and then went to the reception to inform Amanda that she had arrived in order to get the keys and get the car ready.
The receptionist made a call through to Amanda's penthouse house.
"Good morning ma'am, your driver just arrived and is asking for the key. Yes. Yes. Okay."
The receptionist droppe the call and told Jay to go upstairs.
Jay was a bit unnerved. Normally she is supposed to pick up the keys from the reception and head to the parking lot to get the car ready.
Jay walked to the elevator and punched the code that Amanda had given her before. She got to Amanda's apartment and rang the door bell. Within a short time Amanda opened the door to let her in."I would like to apologise for a slight change in your routine. I used the car last night and forgot to drop off the key at the reception. The key is on the kitchen counter."
Jay noticed the painting close to the glass window at the other side of the spacious living room. Amanda had taste in interior decoration, she noticed. Luxurious and fancy antiques sitting around with the latest technology of gadgets. But out of all the things in the sitting room it was the unfinished painting that caught Jay's eyes.
She walked to the kitchen and grabbed the car keys.
"Your car would be ready before you are done getting ready ma'am."
"Thank you Jay."
Jay went down stairs to get the car ready.
Amanda had a long night last night trying to have her way around this SMAT case. She had handled so many top notch cases without flinching but this one felt different. Families would lose their homes and be pushed into the street. Everything they worked to build would be gone within the twinkle of an eye.
These were happy families. Father's that took their sons to watch the game on Saturdays and mothers that took their daughters for piano lessons on Wednesdays.
She new she had to do something to soothe herself so she did something she had not done in a long time. She painted. She found her old supply of oil paints and brushes then drove out to the nearest store to get some canvases.
She took her items and went out of her apartment into the elevator. On getting outside, her driver stepped out and opened the door for her.
"Thank you."
Jay had just dropped off Amanda at the famous Harvey Law Firm building when she received a call. It was from Lofty Heights Elementary School, the school she enrolled Jason in.
"Good morning, I'm I speaking with Miss Jasmine Sanders?"
"Miss Sanders on the phone, how may I help you ma'am?"
"We called to inform you that your attention is needed in the school premises immediately with regards to your son."
"Is he all right?"
"Yes he is fine, but Tommy the boy he fought with isn't. Make yourself available as soon as possible."
Jay knew that she had to leave immediately. She went into the Harvey Law Firm building and requested to speak with Miss Amanda Bright.
"Do you have an apointment Miss."
"No. I'm her driver and its an emergency."
"You would have to leave a message, she is currently in a meeting."
Jay left a message for Amanda and then took a cab to Lofty Height Elementary School.
She was asked into the principal's office.
"Your son has been an exceptionally bright student in his academics and very attentive in the classroom. That is the reason why it came as a shock to us that he got into a fight with his classmate. He had refused to tell us why he he Tommy."
"What happened to you darling?" Jay asked Jason in a sad tone.
The principle went further to tell them that they might have to suspend him if this kind of incidence should take place again. Then she was told to take Jason home to take the day off.
She knew she couldnt take him to the house because the baby sitter wouldnt be around until after school hours. So Jay took him to her work place.
Amanda got out of the meeting to her office. She told her assistant to get across to the driver and tell her to get the car ready.
Thelma, Amanda's assistant called the reception and was told that the driver had left a message.
Amanda was furious. How dare she leave her post and go out just like that. Before she had the time to get a call across to the company that she hired Jay from she was informed by her assistant that the driver was around and would get the car ready within ten minutes.
Jay new that she was going to get and earful from her boss. She waited patiently in the car. As Amanda approached she stepped out of the Rolls Royce to open the door for her as usual.
"I dont pay you to wander about during your work hours."
"I am sorry ma'am it was an emergency from...."
"Mummy!" Jason shouted from the front seat.
"And you brought your kid to work?"
"I can explain ma'am."
Amanda got into the car and sat patiently as she waited for Jay to get into the car and give her some explanation."
Jay started the car and asked her where they would be going next.
"Queen Estate, downtown Mediva."
Jay paused for a while.
"Get going please would you, is there any problem."
"No problem ma'am, thats where I live with my son."
Amanda felt a little weak from the information she just learned. But she could not say anything.
"So whats that explanation you wanted to give?"
Jay told Amanda everything that happened as she drove her to Queens Estate.
