Jack has been through a lot of situations through his life, uncomfortable ones, sad and happy ones, even very very risky ones. But never through one of these kinds. He wasn't very involved with people far from his job, which he kept very strict limited to know the necessary information to treat the patient and if it's the case, help them a little bit more than the visible wound. However, right now, he is wondering how he never came to be in this kind of situation before. I mean, he's not the most modern person, Jack has struggles with people nowadays and their necessity to put a name to everything, I mean, EVERYTHING.
To put you into context: A new patient came into the ER, did the long waiting line and when she finally got in, she had to wait another terrible hour so a doctor could check her. And when that happened, was Jack Abbott who appeared in the show. He walked into the room with his eyes glued to the tablet, his stern expression and sleepless nights etched into his features. Her first reaction was blushing because, girl, are you looking at that man??. Then, she panicked because of course, a man like him wasn't probable of liking a trans female, so her expectations went low and she did her best to keep herself in line.
"hello..." Oh fuck, his voice was also HOT. "I'm Doctor Jack Abbott. I'll be in charge of your case tonight. Let's hope it doesn't take too long and you can go home before sunrise." She doesn't hear the half of that, just his name and that he'll be in charge. Of course He will, how could she be in charge of a man like that, she can barely be in charge of herself. "Nice to meet you Dr. Abbott." He finally looks up at her, trying to discreetly gasp at the beautiful was the woman in front of him. He swears he has never seen something like that. Her skin is so shiny it might burn his eyes but he's more than happy to be blind after seeing her. "Yeah...Uhm...Can you tell me why are you here, please?" He sounds like a lost dog.
"I've been dealing with some belly ache, but I don't know if its because of my hormones control. I know I should visit my doctor instead but, uhm...It is too painful and he won't answer because it's sunday." Jack scoffs, wondering what kind of doctor could leave her hanging like that, before recovering his composure and acknowledge her.
"Ah, right...Okay...I'd might have to make some blood tests and pregnancy tests." A nurse joins, forcing him to be more discreetly about the way he looks at her so intensely and the way he even talks with that low and authoritative tone of voice he uses to intimidate. She's basically squirmin and blushing like the teenage girl she is not. The nurse distracts her with some belly palpation to find where it hurts you.
"Oh, uhm...A pregnancy test is not necessary," She tries to say, blushing deeper because she'll have to say this out loud and ruin the incredible and delicious tension built between them.
"Sorry, sweetheart, It's protocol." Before she could even answer back, the nurse intervenes and excuses herself from the room when she doesn't find any pain at physical touch. She says something about needing to look for something. Jack turns his face back to the patient after checking her medical history where he accidentally forgets to read the important section of gender.
"Excuse me, Dr. Abbott, I am afraid you're not understanding...I am a trans female." This freezes him and embarrass her and it makes him feel so bad because He can see the discomfort on her face so clearly it makes him want to jump off from a rooftop.
"I am so sorry, I.- I should've checked twice before saying that. I am so sorry." He even stutters with his words, blushing like hell and feeling his legs trembling. "Uhm...I let you for a second, get yourself comfortable and wait for the nurse to take the blood test. I am sorry again." The girls just nods shyly, fidgeting with her hands and worried about the man and his sudden stuttering. She wasn't offended, it wasn't the first time happening and she has learn not to take it personal, she looks like a woman, she even have boobs. She can't blame them for not checking twice.

"Oh my fuckindg god..." Jack, instead, finds himself spiralling into freakness at the nurse station where Robby (Pulling a full shift before his break day) finds him and starts mocking him. "What happened to you, man?...You look like you've seen a ghost."
"My patient..." He started blurting out, "I thought she was a biological woman...She is trans...And I asked for a pregnancy test without checking first." Robby frowns, shrugging and not finding the reason of why he was so embarrassed. "I think that's a common mistake, Jack...Stop the nonsense." Jack groans, lifting his head to look at Robby with a death stare.
"He was flirting with her." John Shen said, guessing what was the problem just by seeing the older attending. That made Robby scoff and wheeze. "Oh shit...That's humbling." Abbott wished for Robby to disappear in that moment. "Fuck you Robinavitch." He mumbled.
"Come on, Abbott...what's the matter with that...Is he at least pretty." Robby asked carelessly, making Abbot to complain and glare at him again. "Is a She, and yes....He, i mean, She, is beautiful...Looks like a fucking angel sent from heaven."
"See, that's wild coming from you, Jack." Shen said, raising an eyebrow and crossing his arms above his chest as Robby raises his hands as an apology for his reckless comment. "He, I mean, she is just so feminine...She has breasts, man. How can I suspect there's a biological man under those fucking cute little clothes?"
"Im glad your patient can't hear you, because on the contrary you'd be at HR office because of that speech of yours." Robby scolded. "I think is not that bad, man...Why don't you keep flirting with Hi-Her?" Robby's question gets Jack spiralling again. Back into madness. "Yeah, I think Robby's right, man...if she's beautiful, why not?" It doesn't help Shen's nonchalant reply. "Because I've never been with a Trans person...I am too old, guys...I don't know how that works, I can barely keep on with the gays and believe me I struggle to keep on with their tracks." He's got a point.
Despite their respects for the community, they don't know how they roll. Except for Robby but He wasn't a very experimented man, anyway. He's been just with dennis and before that, all of his exes are women. "What if a say something wrong? What if I accidentally say something that hurts her feelings, making me seem like a complete idiot? I don't want to mess things up when there isn't even anything to mess up."Dr Ellis, sitting near the three men and listening to their ramblings, digs her hands in. "Just treat her like you treat a woman, Abbott...That's what she is and that's what she wants."
Robby claps his hands, bowing a thank to the woman before patting Jack's back and head anywhere else with a tablet in his hands. "There's your answer, Abbott...You should listen to her...She's the the true queen." Shen earns a glare from Ellis, making him apologize instantly and run away. Now Jack has a new mess in his head. "Listen...I know you think you're old for those things but, You should try, okay?...Maybe she likes you too and if she doesn't don't be a jerk...Just be the man you are, she's a women and that's it."
Just then, Jack decided that he should spend more time with Ellis. She was the only sane person in that ER. Robby was too caught up in his own shit and boyfriend (Jack feels replaced) and Shen is just...Shen.

Anyway, back into business, Jack has to return to his patient room when the blood tests results are back. He takes some deep breaths before stepping in, trying to shut down his inappropriate thoughts about the gorgeous woman inside. "Hey...I'm back" His voice gets a little raspy, deep and full of nerves. She looks up from where her phone is being held by her hand. Jack wishes he could touch that hand.
"Oh, ah...Hi" She motions with her hand, clumsy as alway. She is surprised of the man returning, She thought someone else was going to take charge of the case, given that she had made her doctor feel uncomfortable. (She did not, but we are overthinkers). "I guess the tests are back..."
Jack hums, smirking a little when He noticed the shyness of the girl. So cute, he wants to whisper in her ear. "You're right...Well get to see what's happening and how should we proceed." Jack's feeling a bit more easy, repeating Ellis words in his head over and over until he feels them sinking in his veins. That's why, when he lifts his eyes to take a bold appreciation of the girl, he finally notices her clothes.
Fucking hell. She's wearing a very short skirt with knee-high socks that are so pink that he wonders if the colour even exists.She has taken off her sweater by now, so he can clearly see the thin tank top holding her so big boobs. Jack wants to drop to his knees and pray to her. Not because of her body — that would be too much of a jerk.He just doesn't understand how someone so gorgeous could be real. How does he know she's not an angel?. Well, he clearly doubts that an angel could wear such revealing clothes but, nowadays, everything is possible.
She, on her side, notices the way he's looking at her because, god, that man is everything but discreet. She is no dumb girl, she knows how to play too, She just needs a safe place and maybe this could be one. So, "i think you're drooling." She hums, tilting her head and smirking. Jack can't help but look away and blush fiercely. "Im sorry...I'm not being professional, I can tell you where to put a formal complaint because of my immoral behaviour-..." It's like if the words couldn't get out of his throat. he wants to dig a hole in the ground and disappear. He doesn't shut up until He hears her sweet laugh and now he knows he's about to be a dead man.
"You're cute, Dr. Abbott." Jack stutter, with both his pace and words. He looks at her with widen eyes and admiration. "What?..." It's all he gets to say. "You're cute!...Stuttering like that and admitting you're acting like a jerk...Because, let's be honest, You are." She giggles, and jack just lets out a nervous huff, sinking his hands in his pockets. "I am sorry, It's just too pretty and I forgot how to behave myself." now it was her turn to blush.
"Yeah? that's a very poor excuse, Dr. Abbott." The way she pronounces his name makes him feel weak and high. He even takes some steps towards her, hypnotized by the way she spreads her legs a little when she sits on the edge of the gurney. He wants to bury his face between those thighs and die of asphyxiation there. "I wish it was an excuse...But you're doing it very difficult to me to think, sweetie."I wish it were an excuse, but you're making it very difficult for me to think, sweetie."
She bit her lip, dropping her gaze to his moving legs before make a heavy tour through his veiny arms, tight chest and reach his eyes, gleaming with something more than interest. Jack reached her front, standing between her legs and lowering his head. "You, Angel, are having some abdominal pain because of you hormonal therapy. You need to visit a endocrinologist. I'm gonna give you an order and some painkillers until you get to have an appointment and contact your personal doctor." He was whispering words she wasn't hearing into her ear. She swears she can feel herself getting aroused and dizzy just by smelling his cologne. "Are you listening?" Oh fuck.
"Uh...Yeah...My endocrinologist." She gets to answer, pulling back to look at his mocking face. He knows what he's doing and he doesn't care a little bit.
Jack moves before she can even process the whole situation, and she thanks god because of that because she was about to wrap her legs around his hips and pull him closer. She watches him write something on a piece of paper. A fraction of a second later, he hands it to her. It's perfect timing, as the nurse steps into the room. She simply slips the paper into her coat pocket and turns her attention to the woman in front of her. Jack takes a last look of her before walking away, rushing to the bathroom so no one catches a glimpse of his hard on. After this, he was going to walk straight into hell.
