A/N: Ok here we go, yet another story I'm going to start without finishing the rest…nyah well I got this idea randomly I think while watching House…although it's not even remotely related except that it mostly takes place in a hospital. I found this idea cute…or I'm just weird I don't know but here goes. It's different from my other story Beautiful Secret because aside from it being AU Ichigo's reaction to her child will be different as well. Warning: I'm mostly bullshitting about doctor and hospital terms or whatnot because truth is I don't know how that stuff works LOL
Summary: General Doctor Kurosaki, class S hard-ass, finds himself falling in love with one of his patients. What's her diagnosis? She's pregnant with another man's baby. ICHIRUKI
I
One more patient, he just had to see one more patient before he could call it a day and go home. Originally, it was suppose to be Uryuu's, however the bespectacled doctor left a little early in account that he was going to miss the next episode of Project Runway. Ichigo rolled his eyes as he headed to the front lobby to grab the clipboard with the patient's information. Fan-freakin'-tastic, if that girly bastard wasn't just as a good as a doctor as he, his ass would have been fired already. Of course, he thought haughtily, he will always be better than that sewing idiot.
"Ready for your next patient Kurosaki-kun?" Ichigo didn't even look up from the papers and made quick notes on it before answering.
"Ah," and with that said he left down the corridor leaving a confused and blushing Orihime. She had been working t the Karakura General Hospital for over two years now, and had met Ichigo Kurosaki in med school. Immediately, she grew attracted to him, yet, he never blinked her way. He only muttered one worded sentences or ordered her to run some tests and samples. She sighed and turned her attention to her own patient on the opposite side.
Staring at the chart and her symptoms Ichigo already had one idea what "Rukia Kuchiki" could have. Without warning, he entered the room she was residing in, still sporting his infamous scowl. That is, until she turned and locked her violet eyes onto his amber ones. He dismissed the skip of his heartbeat and brusquely walked to the hospital bed where she was currently sitting down. Ichigo noticed her depressed demeanor and thought disapprovingly 'An unplanned pregnancy, or perhaps got knocked up. How shameful,' He continued to jot down quick notes in silence while she glared at him.
"What's with that look?" He was caught off guard and nearly lost his aloof attitude from surprise.
"Excuse me?"
"That criticizing look, least you could do is make a patient feel comfortable,' Ichigo's scowl deepened.
"Che, don't think you're special enough to grab such attention from me, let's just finish quickly and go our separate ways," Rukia harrumphed and whispered hotly:
"I asked for a doctor not an asshole," Ichigo clicked the pen and put it in his pocket and shifted the clipboard to the small table before replying nonchalantly to her remark.
"And I asked for a patient not a bitch, we all can't get what we want now can we?" Rukia was near exploding from anger until he struck her with an embarrassing question.
"When was your last period?" Her cheeks burned a bright pink and looked away from his smoldering amber orbs to help ease the mortification. Ichigo gave a quirky smirk, she may be an annoying midget but she was cute, he gave her that.
"I-I don't remember…maybe a month and a half ago?" Ichigo scoffed and walked closer toward the bed.
"And when did you last have sex?" Rukia's eyes widened and glared at him suspiciously.
"You're not implying that I'm...that I could be…are you?!" The strawberry wanted to laugh at her incredulous expression.
"I'm not sure if your parents ever told you about the birds and the bees but after years of research Scientists managed to prove that sex make babies," Her violet eyes glimmered in a cross between anger and sadness. Jumping off the bed she whipped her head upward to meet his gaze murderously.
"I want a blood exam to prove it," Ichigo sighed; he casually leaned against the countertop and crossed his arms in defiance.
"It's simple math Kuchiki even for a 12 year old like you," he mocked despite reading her sheet that her age was actually 22. "If you don't want your parents to find out that you got knocked up-," Before he could even register what was happening a loud slap resonated throughout the room resulting to a reddening and stinging of his left cheek. He brought up his own hand to sooth where she had slapped him and gave her a scathing scowl. She didn't back down, instead she returned the hating look with the double the force.
"Don't you ever make assumptions about me," she stated harshly, her fists clenching. He eyed her momentarily before grabbing the report sheet once more to write a tiny comment before placing it back down.
"I apologize that was rude of me, but I was just calling it as I see it,"
"I'm not that kind of person," Ichigo shrugged and crossed the room to retrieve a needle, alcohol and cotton swabs.
"Perhaps, then again it's not my job to care,"
"You're an ass you know that?"
"Again, not my job to be nice, now sit your puny butt back down so I can withdraw a blood sample," The midget obliged and hopped back on. Grabbing the alcohol, he poured some into the cotton ball and rubbed it on a small area of her arm opposite of her elbow where a visible vein was. Without warning
he stuck the needle and was surprised that she didn't even flinch. For some reason he gained a tiny amount of respect for the woman, seeing that she was quite strong. Once he finished he ran the cotton ball over the area one more time before placing a Chappy band-aid on her, being the only box of baind-aids in the office. He didn't notice how her eyes filled up with a little more excitement at the object.
"Well you're ready to go, the results should be back tomorrow around noon," She nodded automatically, still staring at the band-aid. Rukia passed him until he quickly stopped her.
"Hey, all joking aside," She rolled her eyes. 'Joking? More like cynical mocking,'
"If you are pregnant, in which I'm sure you are, will your partner be ready for that?" He didn't know what came over him to ask such a personal question, in reality he usually butted out his patient's problems, but for some reason he found himself wanting to know more about her. He saw her entire back stiffen and her breaths come out in harsh panting. The doctor was about to move to check if she was alright, and then she answered, making all the veins in his body freeze.
"I wouldn't know, he's dead," Without waiting for his reply she left, or more like ran out of the hospital. Ichigo stayed behind and wearily sat down on the bed she was currently sitting and slammed his face into his palms. Inoue rushed in after she saw Rukia run past her in tears, curiosity bubbling inside of her.
"Kurosaki-kun what happened?" Of course he did not answer her, and continued to stay in the position she found him in. With much straining she caught the breathless words escaping his lips.
"I'm such a fucking idiot,"
