The Fire in Her Eyes
Summary: Keith dumps Elliot and Dr. Cox comforts her
Rating: T
He couldn't believe his eyes. The once annoyingly peppy doctor was a mess. She cried so much he considered building an ark to protect him from the flood. Newbie wasn't helping with his stupid attempts at humor. He saw JD and Elliot working in a patient's room and entered. "Well look, if it isn't Barbie and Skipper. Skipper, get the patient a high contrast MRI; Barbie, follow me." He barked. He led her to the on call room and sat her down on a bed. "Listen Elliot, I'm not even going to pretend to be good at the whole comforting thing, but if that shallow jerk dumped you, he made the biggest mistake of his life. You are sweet, beautiful, and he is the biggest idiot in the world if he can't see that." He took a deep breath and gave her a hug. "Now take a breath, and get back in the game. You're one of the best damn doctors in this place and I won't let this knock you down." She was awed. Not only did Dr. Cox think she was a good doctor, he said she was beautiful! He gave her a kiss on the forehead and helped her up. As he walked out of the room he grabbed JD by the arm and yanked him close. "Claire I swear to god if you make one more joke about Barbie's breakup, I swear you last words will be 'oh my god, I'm being beaten to death by a stethoscope." When he looked back at her, he saw the fire in her eyes. Damn she was pretty.
