Title: Break Time: Pizza
Author: shakeahand55
Summary: "I could really, really go for some good old pizza" she said with a sigh and she noticed the look he was giving her, as if she had 3 heads.
Disclaimer: I sadly don't own them, I'm just playing with them for a while.
"This is nice" Christine said as she followed Leonard to his desk in sickbay and pulled a chair from the wall and took a seat, he sat at his chair behind the desk.
"Yes it is, these breaks are good for an old country doctor like me" she laughed "oh your not that old Leonard!" she shook her head, he was always calling himself old but he wasn't that much older then everyone on ship.
"Would you like something to drink Christine?" he asked opening his desk drawer and pulling out two shot glasses, she laughed "you've got glasses all over this sickbay don't you?" she laughed as he nodded with a smile.
"Sure" she said "good, what will your poison be today?" he asked standing up to the shelf behind him that was protected with a force field only he, Captain Kirk and Scotty of course, could turn off.
"What ever your having I'm not picky" she said as he turned off the force field, pulled a bottle from the shelf and sat back down, she sighed as she shifted to get comfy.
"You know what I want? I mean what I really want?" she closed her eyes as she smiled and rolled her head to the side, she was beyond relaxed at this moment.
"I don't know, what do you want?" she opened her eyes the smile still on her face "bet you can't guess" she laughed when he gave her the stink eye.
"I've got better things to do then sit and try and guess what you want, I'm a doctor, not a mind reader!" she laughed and sat up straighter in her seat once again.
"Leonard you're a real bear some times" she told him nodding her head and holding out her hand for the glass he offered to her.
"I'm a doctor, I don't get paid to be nice, I get paid to fix people, not to listen to them whine, try and make me guess what their thinking or have good bedside manner as you call it" Leonard said giving he the empty glass to hold while he poured some saurian brandy into it.
"Thanks" she took a drink almost flinching as the drink burned a trail down to her stomach "this is good, but not what I really want" she said laughing as he looked at her again.
"I could really, really go for some good old pizza" she said with a sigh and she noticed the look he was giving her, as if she had 3 heads.
"You want pizza?" he asked, not sure if he was confused or shocked "yes Leonard…I've been dying for some since last week" she said then frowned "Scotty hasn't been able to get the replicators to make pizza right, it always seems to come out wrong, but he told me he'd keep trying" Christine smiled happily.
"Light, doughy crust…pepperoni, cheese, mushrooms and sweet green peppers, oh to die for Leonard!" she said closing her eyes and looking the complete picture of a relaxed woman.
If Leonard didn't know better he'd say she was pregnant what with her sudden craving for pizza, he knew she wasn't but he'd ask her anyway just to be on the safe side.
"Your not pregnant are you Christine?" he asked filling up both of their glasses again, they were only shot glasses so no harm could be done by them drinking a little.
Her eyes popped open and she just looked at him, her jaw dropping and a blush staring to pop up on her pale complexion "no!" she said "no, no I'm not Leonard…" she said.
"But don't worry you'd be one of the first I'd tell if I ever was" she said smiling and laughing a bit when he nodded and seemed to get happier, he gulped down his drink as she brought her hand to cover her mouth as she yawned.
"Did you think I had cravings?" she asked, her eyebrows going up and her head tilting a bit to the side, every time she did that Leonard was sure she looked like a dog, as that's what dogs do, tilt there heads to the side when confused.
"Yes actually I was sure you did have cravings...but not anymore, now I just know your crazy" he said making her laugh before she finished off her glass.
They sat in their seats quietly for a few minutes just listening to the hum of the engines, the whoosh of doors outside in the hall opening and closing and feeling the gentle vibrations of the Enterprise under their feet.
Christine was sure they had been sitting at his desk for almost 20 minutes when a call came in for them to be ready as a few people were coming up from the planet.
"Well this sure has been one break I'm glad to of had" she nodded and smiled "I know, but I should spend my next break in the rec room…" she stood from her seat and pushed it back to the wall.
"At least there people won't think I'm crazy because I want pizza so bad, I'm a nurse, not a pregnant-pizza-craving-lady!" she said laughing as she walked out of the main sickbay room into the other one before he could say anything else to her.
Their break was over, time to get back to work.
