Chapter One: First Assignment
"Hey, Moone, could you come in here for a minute?" the head nurse asked, as she saw Serena walking by.
"Yes, ma'am?" the blonde asked, stepping into the only nurse's office in the entire building. She closed the door behind herself.
"I know you're new here and you haven't had much experience as the rest of my nurses, so I decided to give you some on an easy assignment," the head nurse, Celia Miller, replied, sitting down at her desk.
"But, Ms. Miller, don't you think that one of your other nurses may want this assignment or be jealous of me because I'm a rookie?" Serena asked, staring at the floor.
"Of course not. Besides, this is a home job and most of my nurses prefer to stay at the hospital," Celia answered, smiling at the considerate girl.
"Um, okay. How long is the assignment for?" the blonde questioned, still staring at the floor expressionless.
"A half year," Celia responded, leaning back in her comfortable chair.
"You said this assignment is going to be....easy?" Serena inquired, finally looking up at her boss.
"It is. See, one of our doctors got into an accident about a week ago. He's good to go home, but he needs help getting around on his cane. It's hard for him to walk and I'm afraid he probably needs the company. We need someone stubborn enough to keep away from stressing himself too much and I believe that person could you. But, he is a doctor, so he should know what he's supposed to be doing. It will sort of be like training except for real," Celia explained, glancing through the file. She had never met this doctor, but that's because he worked in pediatrics which was across the building from the ER.
"Will you be short handed if I leave? Am I supposed ot go to his house to care for him? Why can't he just stay here?" Serena asked, stillq uite confused as to why a doctor would need a nurse to care for him.
"Don't worry about anything here, Moone," Celia answered, giving a small laugh. "Yes, you will be caring for him at his house. You'll probably have to help him with things such as grocery shopping because as I said before he has trouble walking, but that should get better as soon as his broken leg heals."
"He broke his leg? What kind of 'accident' was this?" Serena inquired, becoming quite curious about her first real assignment.
For the last few weeks she had been working here, all she had been given to do were errands. 'Run this up to this place' sort of things. Or she had been given paperwork to do, that was not her ideal job of a nurse. She became a nurse to help people and that's what she intended on doing. Now was her chance. She was going to get the on job experience she needed to start real nursing.
"Why don't you ask him yourself?" Celia suggested, smiling as she saw the young doctor hop down the hall on his crutches.
"Huh?" Serena asked, following her boss's gaze to the door. She saw a raven haired man moving down the hall quite steadily on crutches. She pointed at him. "That's my patient?"
"Yup," Celia answered. "Here's the file. Take good care of him and have him back to work in six months. If you're going to call in sick make sure one of the other nurse's takes your place for the day," the brunette said, handing the file to the stunned Serena when she turned back around. "Good luck, Serena Moone."
"T-thanks," she stuttered, before running out the door and after her patient who was a little ways ahead of her down the hall. He was waiting for an elevator.
She ran to catch up to him. "Hold the door!" she yelled, still running down the hall. She saw a tip of a crutch pop out to hold the door open.
When she reached the elevator, she sighed of relief and stepped into it, pressing the 'close door' button. She leaned back against the wall and recovered her breath quite quickly before turning to look door at the bent file in her hands. "Oops," she muttered, before laughing nervously anf turning to glance at her patient.
Half of his face was covered in a bandage that had an eyehole in it. It was also wrapped aroun most of his head, but his ebony hair could be seen poking out between the bandages. His left arm was in a sling and his right leg was in a cast. He was gingerly leaning on the crutches, staring at the door with his midnight blue eyes. He then turned to look at her when he felt her staring at him.
"Can I help you?" he asked in a deep voice. He had a confused expression on his face.
"Um, yes, well, m-my name is Serena Moone," Serena murmured, but loud enough for him to hear. "I'm, um, going to be your nurse. Pleasure to meet you, um, Dr. Shields."
"Somehow I knew Celia would pull something like this," Darien replied, rolling his eyes as he shook Serena's hand.
"Ms. Miller said that she had never met you before Doctor," Serena stated, looking at him quite confused. "How could yo uknow her if she has never met you?"
"She must've been lying. Celia is my half-brother's wife," Darien asnwered, smiling slightly as he made a motiont hat was probably supposed to be a shrug. He winced after he did so.
"Oh," Serena whispered, before opening the bent file she was holding. "Well, I guess Ms. Miller or should I say Mrs. Miller? Anyhow, she really only wanted me to take this job to get some experience because I'm sort of new at this nursing thing."
"So, you're a rookie?" Darien questioned, arching the visible brow. "Eh, I won't be much hassle. In fact you don't even have to show up if you don't want to."
"Oh, but I want to!" Serena replied, hastily. She blushed slightly at her outburst of passion. "I love helping people. I love to see the looks on their faces once they become happy again. It's what I thrive on, Dr. Shields."
"Well, then, welcome aboard," Darien answered, giving a small smile that never reached his eyes. "But, get one thing straight. My name is Darien not Dr. Shields. We are going to get a little personal due to the fact that we'll practically be living together for the next six months."
"Alright.....Darien," Serena said, returning his smile.
