Kayleigh's pov
As I was about to go to sleep, I received a text from Eddie which said that he won't be able to visit tomorrow afternoon as he has some important errands to run. I rolled my eyes as I put my put my phone down, 'Why is he even telling me all this? He doesn't owe me any explanations. The next morning as I woke up, my legs felt little weak, ignoring that I checked up on Haley to find her still asleep so I got ready for work and woke Sam up before leaving for work.
Sam's pov
I was still very sleepy when Kay left for work, we were up till late last night as we were discussing about being their cupid. We couldn't come up with anything hence we decided to meet for lunch today at Rudy's diner. I had coffee while I waited for Haley to wake up. Once she woke up, I got her ready and then fed her and then cleaned her up again. Once I was assured that she is ready to go out, I gave her panda toy and let her play with it while I got ready. By the time we made it to Rudy's, it was already 1:10. I entered the diner with Haley in my arms, I looked around to find them. After a couple of seconds I spotted them in a corner booth gossiping. As they saw me approaching they stood up, I thought they stood up to greet me but they actually did so to greet Haley. I am not surprised, this little girl has already wrapped everyone around her fingers including me. As we sat down and scanned our menus, Haley was passed around from one person to another to steal hugs and kisses from her. By thew we finished ordering she had wound up on Dan's lap resting her head on his firm chest. Jay rested his elbows on table lost in thoughts as he spoke, "So did anyone come up with any idea?" Dan and Jay looked at everyone shocked while Beth, Patsy and I spoke at the same time making it totally difficult understand a single one. Dan raised his free hand to stop us from speaking, "one at a time, I seriously I can't hear a single word!" Dan looked at Patsy for answer, "Why don't you tell me your plan? I have heard you are quite good with all this stuff." Patsy grinned from ear to ear, "Why don't we have them kidnapped and have locked up in one room!? that way they will sort out their differences and realise how they feel about each other. Once we learn that they have grown close to each other, we can let them out of the room!" Dan rolled his eyes while Jay glared at her and spoke in a very sarcastic tone "1. This can lead to them killing each other 2. They will abandon us once they find out it was our doing 3. We will end up in jail for rest of our lives." He looked at Beth, "you better come up with a good idea!" Beth giggled nervously, "How about we have any one of them kidnapped and leave clues behind so the other will call a search party and once he/she finds her/him, he/she will confess their love by the fear of losing one another and they will get their happily ever after." I looked at Beth and rolled my eyes, Dan called it lame while Jay also rolled his eyes, "Why are you both are so adamant to make Haley remember us as her uncles and aunts from prison?" He took a sip of water and looked at me pleadingly, "Sam, I have really high hopes from you. I hope you didn't plan for all of us to end up in prison." I shook my head and started narrating my master plan, "why don't we all go out of town separately coming up with different excuses so they wouldn't get suspicious, Kay would have no option but ask Eddie to baby sit Haley that way they both will get closer. There is another plus point to this, since they both have tremendous work pressure it would be very difficult for them to travel back and forth and there is a high possibility that one will ask another to move in and that way they will grow closer. Let me tell you, When Eddie made Kay breakfast, I could tell by the looks on her face that she was super impressed!" By the time I finished everyone were looking at me with shock and clapped their hands. People from other tables were looking at us while Haley was also clapping her hands giggling, she was really enjoying our conversation. Our food arrived and Jay looked at the food lost in his thoughts and after awhile he looked at us,"I must say your idea is amazing but we all have to return in few days, we can't stay out of town for forever and what if things don't work out the way we have planned?" Patsy nodded, "He is right, what if she hires a babysitter since she knows Eddie is always busy with work?" Just then my phone went off so I excused myself to answer the call and learned the call was from Kayleigh's colleague Nick. After speaking with Nick, I got back to the table and broke the news, "I just got off the phone with her colleague, he said Kay dropped unconscious at the work and they rushed her to the hospital and doctor said she has caught severe flu and needs complete bed rest! He asked me to go and pick up Kay from the hospital." Dan stopped us from getting up and rushing to the hospital, "Now god is really helping us with getting these two together, Sam you go and visit your parents and tell Kay, your mom is sick while Jay you tell Kay you are already out of states." He looked at Beth and Pat thinking something, "What do we tell about you both?" Jay volunteered in excitement, "My parents are invited to a charity event in London so I'll attend the event and take Beth with me as my date!" He looked at Beth, "You will meet a lot of potential clients." Beth agreed to join, we looked at Pat for answers, "I will tell her that I have pregnancy sickness and doctor has put me on a complete bed rest!" She spoke with guilt. Dan put a hand on her shoulder trying to reassure her, "Relax we are doing it so that Eddie and Kay get close to each other. I will tell Kay that I am already on my way to Texas." we all nodded in agreement, finished our food and parted our ways.
