Chapter 5 Father Goose

Matt is at the AIDS unit with his brood of adoring fans. They are involved in planning an indoor circus, without the animals of course but
with plenty of interesting acts to amuse and astound. As Matt is talking to a little girl named Angela he notices that her fingertips are blue and she suddenly starts choking.

Matt pulls out his bag from his backpack and as Ellen and Joe walk up they see that he has everything under control. "She stabilized now, but she needs to see her doctor right away. Joe will you please take her. Thanks." Angela looks up at Matt and pats his hand. "Thank you Dr. Matt." Matt gives her hand a squeeze and smiles. Ellen looks at him in astonishment.

"Did she say DOCTOR Matt?" Matt can't believe that he forgot to mention that bit of news to her. "Yes she did. Elise I forgot to mention that. I'm a surgeon, or at least I used to be. My real love is with the children. I do consultant work here and around town, but my heart belongs to the children." He's looking at her with one of those "if looks could kill, I'd be a steak dinner by now!" His eyes are devouring her!

"Matt, you don't have anything else that you FORGOT to tell me do you?" Ellen is trying to act mad but she isn't and he knows it.

"I was so busy putting the full court press on you, that I forgot about that. There are no more
secrets, I promise, except...how do you feel about children?" Ellen looks at him knowing that he wants a child. "I've always wanted a child.
Sam died before we had the chance to start our family."

Taking her hand in his "Will I do as an adequate replacement because I would love to have a cute little replica of you running around our house screaming 'daddy I love you'. I promise to be a good father. Not like mine who didn't care about his children. His/her welfare will be paramount! I would love to see how beautiful you look pregnant with our child. My life would then be complete." Ellen didn't know that he was that serious because she had thought of bringing the subject up to him. "Matt I'm glad that you want children because I was thinking along the same
lines." They kiss and make wedding plans.
