Set during LA.
It was nearly one AM, but Jeremy was still in the office. Mrs. Wood's due date was approaching very soon, so Jeremy had decided to sleep at work during the night from now until she went into labor. He'd never seen a woman last so long into a pregnancy with quadruplets. It was amazing. All of his employees had clocked out over three hours ago, or so he thought. He suddenly heard a crashing noise. He rushed rushed out to see what had been the cause of the noise. At first, he noticed nothing. He turned around to walk back in his office when heard a whimpering noise.
"Dr. Reed, help!" Jeremy heard a familiar voice cry from behind the nurses' station desk. His heart dropped. "Betsy, hold on just one minute." He ran back into his office and made a phone call. He had a friend down at another OB/GYN practice. There was no way a woman he knew on a patient to doctor level would come before staying with best friend when she was hurt.
When Jeremy saw the black and blue sight Betsy's ankle had turned into, her cringed. He knelt down beside her. "What happened, Bets?" he asked as he scooped her up. As he carried her down the several flights of stairs (due to the broken elevators), she explained how she'd noticed that Beverly had misfiled important patient information, so she was staying late to make sure everything she'd recently filed was correct. She told him how she was nearly finished, so she had decided to get a granola bar from the break room. Her foot caught violently against a metal cage that Morgan had been keep in hopes of catching Owly. He'd been known to stash it in random places.
"I'm so sorry. I'll have a talk with Morgan once the doctors return from their trip at the end of the week," Jeremy spoke once they reached the ground floor.
"Oh, no. I don't want anyone to be in trouble." A look of discontent and worry muddled in with the pain on her face.
"Betsy, he needs to know his wrongs. He can't do things like that however he pleases," he spoke sternly but softly.
"Okay, Dr. Reed." Jeremy chuckled.
"After all this time, you can call me by my first name." He said placing her in the passenger seat of his new truck.
TBC. Very Soon. Reviews appreciated.
