Chapter: Doctor

"We are getting less than the usual agents around. But we are still managing to get some."
"Well, that happens when the office is located near Quantico. Don't have to go far to get a quick physical. Most transferred to a doctor that was a colleague to the retired doctor of this office."
"Yes, that is it, doc."
Being a primary care doctor and being new to the office for about a month, Dr. Octavia Draco took over the office since the last physician had retired. Now, being the new owner and head doctor of the building, Octavia taken over everything.
By taking over everything, Octavia with her physician assistants and nurses, had to go through the old files with the secretaries to go over the patients that came to this office under the original primary doctor. Some knew that the older physician retired, so most of those patients left to go to another doctor that had been a colleague of the retired one. Though a good handful of patients did stay.
"You ready for the day?" One of the assistants named Missy Chance stepped in Octavia's office with raised her eyebrows.
"Yeah, I'm ready." Octavia nodded, standing up from her desk seat then pulled on her white lab doctor coat with her stethoscope around the back of her neck.
"Alright, I will be checking them out. See you in a few."
Octavia only nod as she watched Missy leave the office to get the file to begin the first examination of their first patient of the day. Octavia turned away from the door to stare out the window that was nearby her desk. She stared out at the scenery of woods and the FBI building in the distance.
Looking at the open door to her office, Octavia heard footsteps moving around the hallways. Octavia knew that a few patients were being led into examination rooms and the medical assistants will doing the usual checkups of blood pressure, weighing, and asking some questions, but not all because Octavia will be doing most of the personal questions.
"Doctor, you're up." Missy appeared in the doorway making Octavia to nod and walked towards her, grabbing the file from her.
"First patient is a pretty handsome one." Missy winked at Octavia before walking away.
Octavia stared after the older woman that was entering her sixties in a few weeks. Missy Chance was one of the few assistants that stayed with the building and the job. Others left after the old doctor retired, but Missy stayed with another assistant. Therefore, Octavia had to rehire two new other assistants and even new secretaries.
Opening up the file, Octavia saw that she was dealing with a man that was about ten years older than her and recently got out of retirement to re-enter into the FBI.
Knocking on the exam room, Octavia heard a smooth yet strong 'come in' making Octavia to open the door and looked right at her first patient. Her first patient was taller than her, strong shoulders, short dark brown hair that appeared black, goatee going on and hazel color eyes. Missy was right, the man was attractive in some way. She could tell that he was Italian without even looking at his name.
Upon seeing Octavia, the man appeared to straighten up their posture on the exam table and eyed her with raised eyebrows.
"I know, I know. I'm a woman."
"I knew that you were when I researched this place."
"Well, Mr. Rossi, glad you decided to stay. A lot of people had moved to another doctor." Octavia pointed out as she set the clipboard with the files down on the counter top.
He only nodded while eyeing her closely as she walked towards him while pulling on rubber gloves. Octavia took another glance at the file before stepping closer to him.
"So, Mr. Rossi, you are a part of the FBI. Here I thought that you would stick to your books."
"Yes, I have joined the BAU department once again."
"Very interesting." Octavia said as she went to check his breathing.
Rossi couldn't help but shiver a little upon the coldness of the stethoscope on his back. His eyes flicker over his new doctor and he couldn't help but take her in, but also, profile her.
Dark brunette hair. Green eyes that stuck out like a sore thumb against her light tan skin. About five feet seven inches in height, slim yet athletic build upon seeing the muscles flexing in her arms and legs. Rossi couldn't help but admit that she was an attractive woman.
Rossi eyes unconsciously flicker down to her left hand. He didn't see no bumps signaling a wedding ring underneath her rubber gloves. But the necklace around her neck, he saw it was one of those necklace that a child would give to a mother. It was sterling silver with a mother holding a child.
"Do you have any sort of difficulties breathing or any sort of pain?"
"No." Rossi replied, eyeing her necklace before watching her step back.
"May you lay back?" Octavia instructed him.
Rossi laid back and let her put pressure onto his abdomen, feeling around to see if she felt anything abnormal. He shut his eyes before reopening them when she finished her actions.
"Do you have any concerns with anything? Having any thoughts?"
"I'm all set. I believe that if something was wrong, I would get question many times by my team."
"Profiling?"
"Yes."
"I'm curious." Octavia picked up the clipboard with the files to start writing information down about Rossi being in a healthy state.
"About my job?"
"About you profiling me."
That thrown Rossi off as no one asked him to flat out profile them before. Only lure him into profile the person to prove them wrong. But she asked him to do so willingly.
Staring at her, Rossi began to take her in again before looking her straight in the eyes.
"You have just received the head of being the physician for this building and own the building itself. You appear to be around forty years old, your husband is not in the picture, but have a child that is probably around five years of age. The way you hold yourself tall and lift your chin up with an authority way, you were raised in a military family. You have strong arms and legs meaning you regularly work out, most likely a star athlete in track or softball. A pitcher as your right shoulder is dropped more than your left shoulder. Were you any good?"
A smile came onto Octavia lips making Rossi to slightly smirk too.
"It got me a scholarship."
Rossi nodded while Octavia stared at the rest of the paperwork on the clipboard where she had to ask Rossi some more questions.
"Was your father military or your husband?"
"Both. My father was a Navy Seal that is now an instructor. My late husband used to be a combat medic ranger in the Marines."
Hearing how Octavia informed her husband in past tense, Rossi bowed his head a little as he realized that her husband was dead.
"I'm sorry."
"It's alright. He had been gone for four years. I'm just glad that he got to see Annabelle before he was killed." Octavia replied to Rossi as she stared down at the clipboard before looking back up at him.
"I have to ask you a few more questions before you go."
"Go right ahead."
Octavia asked Rossi more questions that were a mix of mentality, emotionally and physically. Once all set, Octavia opened the exam room door and stepped out with Rossi behind her.
"Just head right back to the front to schedule your next future appointments."
"Thank you, Dr. Draco."
"You're welcome. Don't be shy to call if anything is wrong. Just take these papers to the front where they should be able to email your physical to your job." Octavia smirked as Rossi nodded his head before turning away from her to begin walking away, but he paused.
Octavia paused in her steps when she saw Rossi paused in his tracks.
"Question before I go." Rossi said.
"Yes?" Octavia stared at him with raised eyebrows.
Deep down, Octavia subconscious wanted Rossi to ask her about grabbing a coffee some time or something. But then there was the other part of her asking, was it a good idea to even think about a date again. Octavia did remember how her husband and her discussed about the future, of possibilities about him entering the war and 'what if' moments. Both agree to be happy and to live a happy life. After that discussion, they never discussed it again.
"What is your nationality? I have been trying to figure it out, but all I can think of was that you are Italian, but what else."
"My father is Italian. My mother is Native American and Scottish."
"What an interesting mix. Made you into a beautiful woman." Rossi told her with a smirk making Octavia to smirk back.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Rossi." Octavia said in a tone to show that she wasn't falling for his flirtatious comment.
Rossi kept smirking before he turned and walked away. He knew that Octavia was a woman that will not fall for his flirting comments. And for that, that only made him to be drawn to her even more than before.
Octavia stared after Rossi before she too walked away to begin her next examination.
…..
When it came around lunch time, Octavia sat across Missy, who was munching on a chicken salad sandwich. Octavia picked at her Caesar salad before she looked up at Missy.
"How has everything been going for you thus far?"
"Good. How have you been doing on your first day thus far?"
"Fine, fine. A few agents, but mostly new people."
"How was that agent this morning?" Missy wagged her eyebrows making Octavia to roll her eyes, but a small grin appeared on her lips.
"He was nice and smart." Octavia stated in a simple tone.
"And handsome and single."
"Missy."
"Oh come on. It's David Rossi."
"A man that is known for his heroic actions in the BAU back then, but known for his books and his three divorces." Octavia said, staring back down at her salad to continue on eating.
"Because of his job mostly getting in the way and those women most likely couldn't handle that." Missy pointed out making Octavia to just shake her head with a small grin.
Octavia finished up her lunch then left the staff room to resume on examining patients. She soon found herself packing up at the end of the day and walking out to her car. Entering, Octavia looked at her cellphone to see that it was about six o'clock. Setting her phone down in the passenger seat with her backpack, Octavia buckled up and started up her car.
It took about twenty minutes to get back to her new home. Octavia entered the house and smiled upon hearing small footfalls running towards her.
"Mommy!"
"My little Belle." Octavia kneeled down and hugged her five year old daughter to her.
"How were you today?"
"She was good."
"Thanks, Alex." Octavia stood up as she hugged her younger cousin to her before letting her go.
Alexander Whites was Octavia's younger cousin from her mom's side of the family. She lived in DC and was in doing online college courses to gain her education degree.
"Did you eat already?"
"Yep. We had chicken and rice. Alex is a good cook." Annabelle said as Octavia picked her up to carry her to the kitchen where Octavia will heat herself up the dinner.
Setting Annabelle down on one of the kitchen island stools, Octavia pulled the plate out from the oven and she put it in the microwave to heat up the chicken and rice.
Once done, Octavia sat at the kitchen island with Annabelle, who told Octavia how Alex and she colored and caught butterflies outside. Once Octavia finished up and washed off her dish and silverware, she carried Annabelle upstairs to start getting Annabelle ready for bed.
When Annabelle was all done with her bath, got into her pajamas and brushed her teeth, Octavia tucked her into bed around eight o'clock. Once tucked in bed, a soft goodnight and a kiss on the forehead, Octavia put on the nightlight before leaving Annabelle's bedroom. She kept the door slightly cracked open.
Walking to her bedroom, Octavia began her routine of showering, pajamas then brushing her teeth. She turned on the TV in her bedroom to a sports channel where a baseball game was going on. Laying down in her king size bed, Octavia flickered to another channel where her favorite baseball team, Boston Red Sox were playing and winning by a few runs so far.
Turning to her nightstand, Octavia saw it was close to eight thirty. She had to be in the doctor's office by eight tomorrow. She will be taking Annabelle to her work tomorrow until Alex will come to pick her up around ten. For now, Octavia continue to watch the baseball game until she slowly passed out into a deep sleep.
