۶ৎ a/n: Hello, everyone! Welcome back to those returning, and if you've just found my blog check out chapter one first, then come back. Initially this chapter was intended to be just a thousand words as usual, but I missed Jack, so I put a few chapters together.

“Alright, Lindsay, so I’ve looked over your x-ray. I was wondering, if you’re in any sports?” You question. “I’m in soccer, but I’m also in student body,” she answers. You nod while taking note, “that concurs,”. “Why? What's happening to her?” The mother asks. “Your daughter is causing strain on her heart from stress, it’s commonly known as broken heart syndrome, but we call it stress cardiomyopathy. “Oh my gosh,” The mother places her hand against her chest. You stay silent for a moment, so the pair can digest this news. “You must stop stressing; Lindsay, or you can suffer from a heart attack. You’re not too young,”.
You watch Lindsay and her mother’s expressions, then the light gets a bit brighter. “I’ll let you two discuss this amongst yourselves, please excuse me,". You take a deep breath, rushing to an empty patient room.
“You must stop stressing, Miss L/N”. You were eighteen, and it was your senior year of high school. The stress of grades, college applications, and after-school clubs were becoming unbearable. It got to a point where you just wanted to sleep all day to escape. The alarming sign was when you had a panic attack in the bathroom, tears cascading down your face, your shaking hand clutching your chest trying to stop the pain.
You had to quit your after-school clubs, because you couldn’t stop stressing. Your mother had to book a bi-weekly spa day for you, for the rest of your senior year as well. That’s why you do different forms of fitness, to regulate your nervous system, but it does have other benefits.
“You’re okay...” you whisper to yourself. The door opens to reveal Dr. Mohan. “Oh, I’m sorry I thought this one was empty,”. “It’s okay, you’re okay,”. you continue whispering, not realizing she's right there.
“Are you okay?” She asks, you nod rubbing your knees, then covering your face. “I’m fine, I just...need a minute. Please just give me a minute,”. You can see her heartbreak for you. Sympathy covers her like a coat, and she’s watching the happiest person in the ER break before her eyes. “Okay,” she leaves you be. You sit in silence repeating “you’re okay” to yourself. When you return to Lindsay a random woman is with her. “Hello, who are you?” you inquire with a smile.
“I’m her coach, and a family friend,” she looks at you; you don’t look at her. You look at Lindsay’s sudden change of body language. It’s stiff and uneasy, unlike her body language with her mother. “I was telling her how she needs to calm down, because we can’t lose our star player,” she jokes. Lindsay nervously laughs, but you don’t let a single noise leave your mouth. You’ve seen people like Lindsay, hell you are Lindsay. You’ve also seen people like her coach.
“She shouldn’t play for a while, because she’s overworking herself,” You explain. The woman’s expression goes from glee to confusion in a matter of seconds. “That can’t be possible we’re going to the championship,”. You stare at her, confused by her selfishness. “Ma’am if you don’t let her relax for a bit, it won’t be good...”. “I understand that, but we need her,”.
“Come with me ma’am,” you motion to the hallway. You rack your brain on what you’re going to tell her. Your lip quivers trying to stomach Lindsay’s situation. “She can’t play period.” You state, she scoffs at you. “I’ve known her since a baby, okay? You don’t know a damn thing about her. I know what she can and can’t take!” The coach yells.
“You obviously don’t, because that damn girl will die of a heart attack if you don’t stop pressuring her! She is a child! She is a seventeen-year-old girl! You will kill her before she reaches her eighteenth birthday if you continue the way you are going!” You didn’t realize, but your voice was escalating as you continued speaking. “It isn’t fair to her or her mother if you take her baby away from her for your own selfish reasons,”. A few of your coworkers' stare at you and the woman. “I’m sorry...I don’t mean to yell, but this is important for her. Please give her a break,”.
You walk away. You feel horrible for yelling, but you needed to get your point across. You need her to give that girl a break. Dr. Al-Hashimi walks into the break room where you’re sitting. “I’ll apologize...I was wrong, I shouldn’t have yelled,”. “What’s going on, Dr. L/N” she asks. “She’s going to kill that girl if she doesn’t stop...” you feel nauseous at the thought. She sighs, taking a seat next to you.
“I understand that, and you shouldn’t have yelled, but I do admire your connection towards your patients,”. You give her a slight smile. “Thank you, I just know what Lindsay’s going through.”. Dr. Al-Hashimi nods, and you wait for her response. “I understand that, but there’s only so much we can do,”. You nod in agreement; you understand you’ve done all you can. It’s all up to Lindsay and her mother to decide her fate.
“YOU’VE BEEN KILLING MY DAUGHTER?!” The voice echoes throughout the hospital, and you see security rushing past the door. When you and Dr. Al-Hashimi walk out of the break room, Lindsay’s mother and her coach are having a screaming match. “Hey! Hey!” You yell, attempting to calm the pair. “My baby isn’t going to play for the rest of the season! You unthoughtful bitch!” Lindsay’s mother yells.
“Ma’am” you say, and Lindsay’s mother shoves the coach. “Ma’am!” you yell. “If you continue conducting yourself this way, we will remove you from the premises, and I’m sure Lindsay doesn’t want that,”. It's quiet for a moment, Lindsay's mother takes in your words. “Okay...”. You're going to need a few cocktails for this shift. “Would you like something to eat Lindsay,” you ask when you enter her room.
“When are you taking your lunch break, so I can too,” Javadi asks. “Around 3, then I packed a snack for seven,”. Javadi listens, slowly taking one of your protein bars from your desk. “Hey, thief,” you say. She giggles, wheeling away on her chair. You think over what you’ll wear tonight as you chart, considering you don’t get out that much you have plenty of options. It’ll just be coworkers, so you’re going to keep it casual. A cute graphic tee, mid-rise jeans, and kitten heels should do the trick. Or a mini skirt with boots? You rub your temples before continuing your charting. Your last patient has been discharged.
“Dottie, I need you to pick up a patient,” Dana says. “Gotcha,”. When you make it to the patient’s room, it’s a young woman. Nothing over twenty-two, and she’s obviously nervous. “Good morning,” you greet with a smile. She waves shyly, “sorry, I don’t know why I did that...hi,” Renee replies. You giggle at her awkwardness reminding you a bit of yourself. “Oh no you’re fine, I laughed then snorted this morning, so you can’t get worse than me,”. She giggles at your statement before covering her mouth feeling insensitive. “Sorry...”, you shake your head, then smile. “No, I wanted you to laugh, so what brings you in today?” You ask. “I’m irritated down there, and it itches when I pee...”. You listen and document what she’s saying. “Are you sexually active ma’am,”.
The young lady looks down, before answering. “Yes, my boyfriend can get carried away sometimes”. Your eyebrow raises, and her eyes widen like she can read your mind. “Not like that, we’ve been trying new things in bed.” you relax at her clarification. “Okay, I was concerned for a moment,”. She giggles and shakes her head. “Do you use protection?”. “Sometimes...” she admits, “We get so wrapped up in the moment at times, but I’m on birth control,”. She looks around the room. “How old are you doctor?”.
“I am twenty-seven,”. “Alright, so you understand,” she rejoices. You nod with a smile. You’re lying; you don’t understand a damn thing she’s talking about. The amount of sexual experience you have is as small as a piece of lint. Even that is being generous. “I’m going to step out to grab the materials, so I can conduct a pelvic exam.” You walk to the supply room for a kit, thinking of how the patient expressed her joy concerning intercourse. The word sex makes you scrunch your nose, so you never refer to it as that. Many say it’s because of your sensitized brain; you’re twenty-seven and still can’t say the word sex without cringing a bit. To help you, you refer to it as intercourse.
“Maybe I need to become sexually active” you think to yourself. That means you’ll have to find a boyfriend, which is hard on its own, then you’ll have to be in the nude in front of him. Yeah...no, you’ll just buy a toy at this rate. You shake the thought from your head, before smelling the nastiest smell of your life. “What is that?” you look around you for the source. It’s Emma and Dana handling, Manny. A man who you’ve even assisted before as a part of the street medicine team. “Holy!” Dana yelps, two large lizards run in your direction. This shift has got to be some sick joke. You got thrown up on, you had to separate a screaming match, and now two lizards are charging toward you. You take off like anyone would; some eyes are on you. Then their eyes shift to the lizards, and shrieks are all you can hear. Just in time you make it back to your patient’s room before the lizards can get there.
“Whittaker kill it!” Santos yells from the hallway. “Is everything alright out there?” Renee asks, and you nod. “Everything is fine, don’t worry about them. Just relax,”. She nods, taking a deep breath, and closes her eyes to relax fully. You put on gloves, then begin the procedure. You hum the melody of “Pocketful of Sunshine” while working. “Do what you want, but you're never gonna break me,” Renee sings. Your eyes light up to hear her know the song. “Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me”. “Oh, oh oh,” you both sing in unison. “Dr. L/N,” Mel states, the sight she catches you in is comical. Your patient lies on the bed, and you’re standing with your hips swiveling as you two sing the lyrics. You’re so in tune with the song you don’t realize Renee stopped singing when Mel walked in. “I’ve got a...got a pocket full of what”. “Dr. L/N!” Mel shouts, causing you to jump. “Sorry, for my outburst, but you’re needed for an emergency procedure,”.
The sight that beholds you is unimaginable. A pregnant mother and her baby at risk of dying. You put on your gown and gloves immediately. “We have to perform an emergency c-section. The umbilical cord is wrapped around the baby's arm,” Dr. Robby says. “You can’t do that she wants a natural birth!” her husband demands. “Sir, do you want a wife and a baby to go home with? If so, we must do this procedure,” Garcia states, the man nods immediately. Perlah directs him to the hallway.
You grab a scalpel, and direct it toward the woman’s bikini line. “I’m making an incision right at the bikini line,”. You slice and see the baby immediately. “BP is dropping; we have to act now,” Garcia exclaims. Mel reaches in to lift the umbilical cord from the baby’s arm, then lifts it free. You clip the umbilical cord; McKay, Mel, and Whittaker lay the baby on the hospital’s bassinet to properly monitor it. “BP is back to normal,” Dr. Robby says.
“Good job, Dr. L/N,” Dr. Robby compliments. You sigh with relief. “Thank you sir,”. After cleaning yourself up, you return to Renee to get the exam processed.
You blame the 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice for the way you perceive relationships. Or how you don’t perceive them, since a relationship is the last thing on your consciousness till it’s brought to your attention by someone else. Although you see their happiness when bringing up a relationship, you’re happy with being single. You review Renee’s test results, before walking in. “Alright, Renee, so according to these test results you have a yeast infection,”. Her eyes widen and her jaw drops at the news. “From now on please be careful. I will prescribe you an antibiotic.” Renee’s smiles at the news, and thanks you. “Of course, have a great day.” you say. You do a celebratory dance when you leave, reminiscing the successful operation with the pregnant patient. You hear a giggle in front of you, and it’s Princess. You quickly walk away to hide your embarrassment.
You stare at the computer charting away, whilst chewing gum to distract yourself from being hungry. When it “slows down” these are the moments you think about your impending shopping sprees. The yarn you’ll buy from the arts and crafts store for your crocheting or knitting projects, the beautiful coat you saw in the window at a store you walked past last weekend, and getting your monthly blowout done by your hair stylist. You don’t notice, but your legs are swinging at the thought of it.
“What’s got you so giddy?” McKay asks. “My upcoming shopping spree,”. If excitement could take a form, it’d be your voice right now. McKay smiles at your excitement. “I don’t blame you,”. You resume charting with these thoughts. Your mind contemplates the camo pants you saw online recently; the first person you think of is Dr. Abbot. Dr. Abbot in camo pants. Dr. Abbot wearing something you bought. “You don’t want to bite a hole in your lip,” Whittaker teases. You realize your teeth are almost piercing through your bottom lip.
“Yeah...” you mutter. You’ve got to get a grip; Dr. Abbot is an older man. Even when he teases you from time to time. That’s just his personality. It’s nothing to it. So, why are you imagining his thick thighs in those camo pants right now? The bulge of his biceps when he crosses his arms, or the look he gives you when he notices you’re staring. You act like a Victorian woman whenever you see an inch of Dr. Abbot’s skin, as if you’ve never seen a man before.
When you come back to, your body feels like it’s on fire. You can’t think of Dr. Abbot in that way; it’s extremely inappropriate. “Something going on in that head?” Santos questions, you don’t respond. Only glaring at her, “or is a certain someone going through your thoughts?”. Your eyes widen at her question, causing her to gasp. “Oh my gosh, who is it?”. She jumps for joy; this day can’t get any worse. Genuinely. “It’s no one, santos,”. She shakes her head at your lie, “it’s someone bubbles, wait....is it peepaw?” She waits for your face to reveal the answer, but here comes Mel rescuing you.
“Hey Y/N, can you help me with a patient?” Mel asks, without missing a beat you happily oblige. When you two walk in, it’s a man with an obvious broken leg, and his girlfriend. “Hello, I’m Dr. L/N,” you welcome the pair. “Hi, I’m Jess, his girlfriend,” Jess replies with her hand out. You happily shake her hand, then look at Mel. “So, how did this happen?”. “Well-” the man begins, “he was working on the gutters, then fell down from the ladder,” Jess interrupts. “Alright...uhm sir what’s your birthday?”. “January 22nd,” she answers. “Ma’am...I’m going to need the patient to answer,” you explain. “I don’t see the problem here, he’s my boyfriend. I can answer for him.” She argues. “Ma’am, I understand tha-”.
“Alright, well since you understand let me answer for him, so you can do your job.”. You stare at jess as she goes to reassure her boyfriend. “Jess, your boyfriend is an adult according to his chart, so for me to perform my job properly I’ll have to ask your boyfriend the questions. Considering he’s the one injured not you.”. Jess looks taken aback at your statement, and the former sweetness that was in your voice shifts to sternness. “And if you get rowdy with me again, I will have security escort you out of here for disturbing the peace,”. You smile at her, continuing your questions, that the patient answers. “I believe you can take it from here, Dr. King,” you turn to Mel. “Yes, Dr. L/N, thank you for your assistance,”. You nod at her, walking back to your desk.
“So, Dr. Abbot?” Perlah asks, giving you a wink. “What about him?". “Don’t get all clueless on us, we know about you two” Princess says. You stare at them in confusion, “nothing is going on between us guys,”. “Sure, there isn’t,” Perlah makes air quotes around the statement. “Genuinely, there’s not,” . You hear sirens; you turn to see Dr. Abbot head to toe in uniform.
“Speak of the devil,” Princess teases. “Go get your man,” Perlah encourages, you turn back to them. “Afternoon, Dr. L/N,” Dr. Abbot greets. Just like clockwork, you compose the scream you want to unleash. You can smell his cologne that’s mixed with his natural scent. The way the uniform sits on his body, his hands resting on his sides, and that smirk on his face.
You want to launch your body on him like a rocket. “Good afternoon, Dr. Abbot,” you respond, walking away from the nurse’s station. “To what do I owe the pleasure of seeing you in uniform?”. “A robbery, a few of the guys are injured,”. Your eyes grow wide at the situation. “That’s horrible...are you okay?”. “Sweetheart, I’m fine, I have to help Robby-” he begins. “Dr. Robby and the others can manage, but I need to ensure you’re alright,”. You affirm.
