After the whole Mitch incident, I spent the rest of the day watching Once Upon A Time while binge eating gallons of chocolate chocolate chip ice cream. It was relaxing finally getting off, but now it is time to go back to work. I stepped into the warm, welcoming pediatrician's office I co-run with a lovely old woman named Meredith, she's been in the practice for thirty years! I waved and muttered a soft 'hello' to Jenny, our secretary, as I made my way to my medical office. Getting into the small, square office with little cartoon animals on the wall; I focused on some new files that were put on my desk.
"Jannette Presinski," I muttered, skimming through her health records. I was so enwrapped in reading through I hadn't noticed someone slip into my office and take the seat across from mine...until they cleared their throat. Frightened I looked up...and there he was, in all of his ginger glory. His red eyes with a playful glare and a smirk upon his lips. The Brick Jojo was there, in front of me.
"Took you long enough," he joked, "I thought I may have been invisible or something."
"Oh my god, don't be so dramatic!" I rolled my eyes then beamed, "How long are you in for?"
He rolled his eyes at my excitement and replied with a simple, "hmm." I cocked an eyebrow.
"Hmm, what?" I chuckled, he flashed me his '20 watt grin'.
"It depends," he answered.
"Depends on what?" I asked curiously, he got up out of his chair and made his closer to me.
"Ya know, depends how things plan out and stuff," His smile faded and he shrugged. I looked at his change in character and whispered, "Did something happen between you and Julie?" He looked up at me confused, "What do you mean between me and Julie? Julie and I have been broken up for eight months now." My eyes grew wide, 'why does no one tell me things' I thought to myself.
"What?!" I exclaimed, "Since when? Oh my gosh, why does nobody tell me these things?!"
"It been so long since I've last seen you Blossy, I've missed you," He laughed with a sad smile. I looked up to him and said, "Don't worry; I get it. Life is hard...work is hard, I've missed you too Bricky. I mean it's not like we can just drop everything to hang out with old friends, its not high school anymore." He nodded his head.
"That's too true, but I just miss everything," He sighed "The boys, the work, the city, you; I can't help but feel like I belong here." I slowly walked over to him and wrapped my arms around him in a loose hug, "Well just know that whether you decided to stay or not, your brothers and I will always be here for you." I whispered. I looked over at the clock in the corner as it ticked. 'Shit' I thought. I rummaged through my filing cabinet trying to find the right forms until finally I had. I walked towards my lab coat and slipped it on.
"Sorry Brick, I gotta run; I have a patient coming in 5 minutes," I announced making my way out of the office he followed me.
"Just wait one sec, I actually came to deliver a message from Boomer and Bubbles to you," He said while searching in his pocket. A few seconds later he pulled out a crumbled piece of tissue.
"Um, is it sanitary?" I asked with an expression of pure disgusted before taking it. He rolled his eyes.
"Bubbles told me to give you the do's and don'ts for her bachlorette party," He explained.
"Oh, well then tell her I shall work hard to make it perfect for her majesty," I laughed, "Bye Brick call me!" I jetted to room 302 which happened to have been pretty close thankfully. From the looks of it, it had looked like they were just setting in there. There I saw a little boy with bleach blonde hair, about 5 years old crying. I slowly made my way in after briefly looking through his file and went over to the little boy named, Thomas.
"Aw sweetie, what's wrong?" I asked bringing myself down to his height.
"He's here for his flu shot and he is terribly afraid of shots," his mother answered. I gave her a knowing face and replied with, "To be honest I've seen worse reactions."
"Jackson," I said. He looked up at me and stopped crying for a second, "Do you like lollipops?" I asked taking out a giant jar of lolli's. He wiped his eyes and nodded.
"Yes, I wuve lolli's," He answered gawking at the jar of candy.
"Well do you want one?" I asked. He again nodded his head. I spoke again and said, "well I can't give you a lollipop until you take the shot, its against the rules."
"B-but it huwrts," He sobbed.
"I know but it'll only take a second and for being such a warrior this time, I'll give you two lolli's," I persuaded with a small smile. He pondered for a moment then said, "okway, I take the shot." I smiled at him and patted his back while getting out the needle, I slipped on my gloves and made my way back over to him.
"Count of three okay?" I asked making sure he was alright. Shots always go better when they're expected. He nodded and closed his eyes, I pressed the needle in and finished up the shot.
"I-is it done yet?" He cried.
"Yes," I smiled and handed him the jar of candy. "Pick two." He excitedly reached in and took two.
"Thank you!" His mother said before exiting, "See you soon." I waved goodbye and went back to my office. I was a Sunday, Sunday are usually very slow because we're only open half the day. My next patient wasn't for another hour so I decided to go fill out some paper work. The majority of it was just approving which medicines each child should take for their illness. An hour later I put a cast on a 7 year old girl that broke her leg from falling out of a tree and after that we went closed the practice and went home. I hate Sundays, they're usually so uneventful and Mondays are so jam packed. You would think it would be the other way to school and all. As I made my way to my apartment I realized my door was unlocked. I cautiously stepped in.
"Whose here!" I called. When no one answered I added, "I have pepper spray, a rape whistle, and some pretty bad ass powers so I would come clean if I were you." Then I heard footsteps step behind me and the lights came on.
"Relax it's just me," I looked up and saw Brick with his arms in an 'I surrender' position.
"Oh my god, Brick you scared me," saying this seemed to make him laugh.
"Yeah, I know; I don't get why though. You have pepper spray and a rape whistle," He teased.
"Its always good to be protected," I said defensively.
"Do you really need that stuff to be protected?" He nagged, "Just use your powers for Christs sake."
"I don't like using them when I don't need to," I explained. He rolled his eyes and retorted with a "whatever."
"So what are you doing here?" I asked. He pulled out two bridal magazines.
"It seems becoming best man also made me messenger boy," he joked.
"Oooh best man huh, fancy," I teased back with a giggle.
"Oh please, miss Maid of Honor," he said in a fake reproach.
"I happen to like organizing things together, thank you very much," I replied, "Now is that all, because I have season 2 of Once Upon A Time calling my name!"
"Did you get to the part where Pan Kidnaps-" I cut him off.
"No, no, no, no, no, don't even try to spoil this for me," I warned.
"Then would you mind if I joined in?" He asked. I gestured towards the T.V room and said, "Make yourself at home."
