Frank feels a chill run down his spine, his stomach dropping to his feet, terrified.

The congenial expression suddenly stalls, the man realizing this reunion isn't a happy one for him. "Hey doc, you good?"

A cold sweat builds on his skin, Frank feeling like he's gonna puke up his guts.

Suddenly a presence enters the room, Dana with her signature smile. "Hello sir, I'm Dana you're nurse, here to assist Dr. Langdon-"

She trails off when she realizes the room she's walked into is tense atmosphere, the man on the gurney concerned while Frank is frozen.

"Honey," Dana nearing his side, touching his elbow which makes him flinch.

He drops his folder, papers scattering on the floor, his breath quickening.

"It can be heard now?" Robby asks, as if he's forgotten all medical information when he's the one personally involved.

"Yes," Tam answers gently. "It's quite a breathtaking sound." She then flicks a switch and immediately a loud whomping noise makes itself known, filling the room with the sound of their child's heartbeat.

God it's one of the most beautiful sounds he's ever heard.

"150 beats, sounding strong and well," Tamara shares.

Frank finds Robby's eyes glassy, caught in the glow given off by the monitor as he leans on the edge of the exam table. Jack, hand curled over Robby's shoulder, looks to be in no better shape, nose flaring the way one does when they're on the cusp of emotions.

Frank, exhaling with a full overflowing heart, doesn't stop the single tear from trailing down his cheek.

Is this what happiness feels like?

He understands what Dana is getting at. How can you be with someones, share in the joys of pregnancy and fatherhood, yet hide parts of yourself you fear they'll come to know? But he thinks with well practiced smile, he can handle things.

Frank tries to tell himself surely his past doesn't matter, doesn't get to ruin this joy and happiness he has now. Surely.

He's been pinching himself, trying to be sure it wasn't all a dream and he had, in fact, spent the most amazing night with Jack and Robby.

The way they touched him, kissed him, and showed him how much pleasure he could experience was everything Frank had wanted as he continued to heal his relationship with his body.

But now with the revelation he's taken more from the steamy night with them than just a good time, Frank is having to come to terms with how to tell them the news, all the while still holding his devastating secret close to the chest.

Dr. Frank Langdon finds himself juggling a fellowship and an unexpected pregnancy, while wondering where do things stand with the older physicians and how long can he hide his deepest trauma from the two he could be tied to forever.

“Scared us, you know?,” Jack admits, the apartment in a reverent lull.

Frank’s earlier teasing trails off, hearing the emotional undercurrent his voice. Robby himself is silent, his hushed presence testament to Jack’s words.

"Everything happened so fast, coming out of an exam room to find you on the ground, bleeding out," Jack exhales through his nose, chin set. "Hadn't been that terrified in a long time."

Frank remembers in his haze the fear on Jack's face, in Robby's voice as he shouted for him to stay awake.

“Put a lot of things into prospective," Jacks continues, his thumb running down his neck.

Feeling the mood shift into something different, he swallows thickly. “Like what?” Frank dares to ask, wanting to know, eyes held by Jack’s.

There's a long pause, thick with tension, standing on the edge of a precipice.

“Like I really want to kiss you,” Jack finally says calmly.

Record scratch. Mic Drop. Flatline on the monitor, someone call the doctor!

End of Pt 1! Tune in Monday for the start of Pt 2 🥳

"We don't mind at all," Robby steps closer, looking down at him, back of his knuckles brushing Frank's wrist.

"I-" the touch and maybe that one beer making his head and heart all jumbled.

"Frank," he meets Jack's brown eyes, something on his face speaking to more than just a ride home. "We're happy to help, if it means spending more time with you."

The fragile impact of the words sinks into his chest, and Frank feels all resistance to fighting these feelings, crumbling. 

"So come home with us?" Jack asks after a long stretch of silence, Robby subtle touch communicating the same thing.

Dropping his arms slowly, he stands there, not moving to hop in the shower he had meant to be taking. Frank's instead picturing his pale skin with pink hand marks on his waist, a small desperate part of him, wishing Robby and Jack's touch permeated through his dinner jacket and shirt. He swears he can almost feel exactly where they were.

There's a sense of shamefulness for wanting two taken men in a committed relationship who are his closest friends. 

But just as support group has been hammering in, there's no shame to be had for ever feeling want and desire again.

"Frank hands pause, has to remind himself to breathe because fuck.

Falling for a taken man doesn't bode well for him. And falling for the man he's taken by doesn't bode well either.

You think 6 weeks of reprieve and only a few visits would allow Frank's feelings to die down, but then that care basket broke down his walls he was still in process of building and now being back here, with them, he's reminded at every turn why he's falling despite the fruitlessness of it all."

Watching his coworkers from night shift fill his empty apartment, Frank suddenly feels his emotions getting the better of him, could have never imagined the sight in front of him now.

Not when returning home after the worst night of his life to an empty home, feeling he'll never be whole again. Not after 10 months spent in his apartment, crippled by his trauma to deal with alone, no one checking in on him except his sponsor. And not on the night after that semi-public drug test, trying to claw out the emotions that wouldn't release even in the safety of his own miserable isolation.

God, Frank from so many months ago, wouldn't even have believed this right here would be possible.

before you touch me, let me warn ya

He told Mikey he wouldn't touch another pill for as long as he lived, something he's sure the guy has heard from every passing person who's entered inpatient, sat in those hard unforgiving metal chairs. They probably stopped keeping a tally of how many showed back up again with the same solemn promise as if they forgot they already broke it the first time.

Addiction is a constant fight, where the opponent learns how to lose more than they'll ever win. Relapse expected, it's just how it goes.

Frank just has a devastating reason to be so terribly certain he won't.

In the aftermath of a harsh sober reality, Dr. Frank Langdon returns to The Pitt to face whatever mess he left behind while trying not to fray apart at the seams.

Part 1 of a 3 series work.

I bet young Ilya Rozanov never thought he’d get slapped in the face with that tism rizz and he would be so fucking cooked.

This man has eight of the same shirt and five of the same hoodie. This man memorizes hockey stats for fun. This man will have a cold ginger ale. This man will look awkwardly at the camera with a smile like he wants to incinerate himself in every wet t-shirt contest sports drink ad his mom books for him. This man will take everything you say absolutely literally. That’s French, Ilya. You just said a French word and we’re talking about Russian, are you unfamiliar with your own language. This man takes three days to recognize a social cue. And ten years to name an emotion. You’ll tell him you like him in the most roundabout way and you’ll think you NAILED it, and he’ll promptly have a panic attack on your dick. When he names that emotion finally? He’ll be absolutely relentless and will not stand down; he’s had an emotion and he knows you have one, too. By that point, there’s no escape. He’s imprinted on you and is starting to ovulate in your vicinity. He will bludgeon you with adorable nerd and insatiable ass. And his oral fixation is so mighty he’ll suck your remaining brain cells out through your dick.

This man drives a Range Rover because it’s good in the snow. This man does a loon call. This man will make you eight cheeseburgers. Buddy it’s over for you.

But then I remember the earlier episodes' discourse of how Shane gets all the campaigns because his mom is his manager and basically arranges everything and....

Ilya never had that 🥺

So now Yuna Hollander is making sure her two favorite sons are gonna succeed and be successful together 🥹😭

Ily'a trying to help Shane confess to his parents and genuinely saying they're "lovers" made me cackle out loud lmao
