J.D. grimaced at the sight of Elliot. She looked happy. Why did he want her now that he knew she was with someone else. That was how it had always been he guessed. He'd tried talking Carla into telling him who Elliot was with but Carla kept saying she didn't know. J.D knew she had to be lying.
"Marianne!"
J.D turned a mopey expression on his face. Dr. Cox was walking toward him with that same annoyed look on his face.
"Before you say some lame joke or some sarcastic comment, I'm begging you to save it. Today is not a good day for me."
He said sighing. Dr. Cox looked at him before lifting his hands to his face and twisting them under his eyes.
"Boohoo."
Dr. Cox said and then got all serious.
"Listen, there are always gonna be days when your life is plunging into a spiral of despair. You can't let that get to you. Your personal life is not mine or any other doctors concern as long as your on call it goes Doctor first."
He raised his hand up in the air and then dropped it to his knees purposefully.
"You second."
J.D nodded knowing that Dr. Cox was just trying to cheer him up in his own way.
"I'm not trying to cheer you up Marianne it's just the way it is."
J.D knew in his big soft heart that Dr. Cox wanted to hug him to take away the hurt he just knew it.
"Don't even think about hugging me."
Dr. Cox said and walked away.
"Barbie!"
He yelled and J.D watched him hand a chart to Elliot who nodded and walked away in a hurry. J.D. wistfully wished that he was that chart in Elliot's hand.
"Dude. Since when do you have a thing again for Elliot?"
Turk asked walking up next to him.
"Since I caught her making out with some man whore in one of the empty rooms."
J.D. growled. Turk smiled and looked at him excitedly.
"Who was the man whore?"
He wasn't much for gossip but he knew Carla would eat this right up and he needed this to make amends for the fight they'd had recently.
The Previous Night
Carla sat on the couch snuggled up to Turk. Turk played with the channels never resting on one specific channel for more than a few seconds. Carla sighed and looked up at him.
"Why don't you just pick a channel baby?"
She cooed at him hoping he would take her advice.
"Because I need to know everything that's on. I have to have my options open. If that means flipping through all of the 500 of our channels then so be it."
He said and flipped the channel again.
"Honey..."
Carla said and grabbed the remote out of his hand turning off the tv.
"Why don't we stop watching tv? This is the only night we have off together. Let's do something fun."
She said excitedly and giggled standing up.
"By fun do you mean fun..."
He stood up wrapping his arms around her waist and raising an eyebrow.
"or fun."
He winked at her and went to kiss her.
"Honestly is that all you ever think about! I meant let's go out. Let's go see a movie!"
Carla walked toward the bedroom to change.
"Baby, I don't want to spend 30 dollars on some boring chick flick when we can stay here and watch The Notebook on Pay-Per-View."
Carla turned and gave him a death glare.
"So your worried about 30 dollars when it comes to taking your wife out. Besides, if we watch The Notebook you'll cry... and I thought I was hormonal."
Carla said walking back out into the living room.
"I told you I had something in my eye."
Turk growled at his wife. He ultimately knew that it was a bad idea.
"Don't you take that tone with me."
She said feistily. She then gave up and sighed.
"Fine whatever, you watch The Notebook and I'll go to bed."
Turk smiled and rubbed his hands together.
"Bedtime that's what I'm talking about."
He smiled and headed for the bedroom door. She stopped him with her hand and glared up at him.
"Alone."
She turned and walked into the bedroom.
"What'd I do?"
He asked the door that shut behind her. He sighed and sat down on the couch. He picked up the remote and began to flip through the channels again.
"To tell you the truth I didn't see the guy."
J.D. said and clenched his fist.
"I'm sure he was some young hot intern using her to get ahead in the workplace."
He grimaced and walked toward the bathroom. Turk also frowned and walked toward his wife.
"Hey baby."
He said only slightly sucking up to her.
"Hey."
She said annoyed and busily filed some folders.
"Come on baby. It's not like it's my fault that your hormonal and go crazy over the stupidest things."
Carla glared at him and he put his hands up.
"Okay that didn't come out right you see..."
He was cut off.
"Not your fault. Not your fault! You are the one who got me pregnant! You are the one who is insanely insensitive to my needs! And you are the one who shouldn't care about my mood swings!"
She yelled at him having one of her famous Carla fits.
"Carla, I'm sorry. I got you a chocolate cupcake with only pink and green sprinkles."
He said holding up a brown paper bag. Carla's face melted and she smiled at him.
"Oh honey."
She said and walked around the desk to hug him.
"You know I love you right?"
She said and grabbed the cupcake. She smiled up at him sweetly. He walked away after watching Carla stuff almost an entire cupcake into her mouth. He had figured that the way to fix any fight while his wife was pregnant was to give her the food she was craving the most. It only happened a couple times that she puked because he brought her something she had liked the week before but had been having aversions to it the next week. He walked off to see a couple of his patients.
"Hello Mr. Blimen."
Elliot said and fiddled with the chart Dr. Cox had given her.
"It appears that you have an ulcer as well as a few other minor problems. Fortunately nothing too serious so I'll prescribe you some medicine and you can be on your way."
She smiled at the man happily.
"Well thank you but where's Dr. Cox? Dr. Cox has had a major influx in patients lately so he asked me to take over a couple of his minor patients. Don't worry about it."
She said happily and wrote out a prescription.
"So if you can just head on down to the pharmacy, then they'll give you what you need."
She handed him the slip and headed out of the room.
"Barbie!"
Elliot turned to Dr. Cox and smiled. Dr. Cox let out a half smiled back before catching himself.
"What's up Dr. Cox?"
Elliot asked and placed the chart in the little container outside of the door.
"Well, I think we have a lot of important things to discuss."
Dr. Cox said as he and Elliot walked down the hallway.
"Yeah like what?"
She asked giddily.
"I think you know."
He said grimly. She'd managed to get past his outer hard demeanor.
"Well, when shall we discuss these things that you think I know we need to discuss?"
Dr. Cox stopped and looked at her.
"Are you trying to confuse me barbie or just be really annoying?"
He asked exasperated.
"Hmm?"
She touched a finger to her chin and looked up in the air as though pretending to think hard about it.
"It was a rhetorical question dummy. Just come by me place tonight... 8:00."
He said and walked away as his pager went off.
"Okay then."
Elliot said and waved after him. She did a fist pump in the air and looked around to make sure no one was watching.
At the end of her shift Elliot walked toward the exit happily.
"Hey Elliot you wanna catch a movie tonight or something?"
J.D. asked and caught up with her stride.
"Um I can't."
J.D. looked at her confused. They both had the night off. She was going to hang out with man whore. He could just imagine it.
"Oh man whore! You're so much better than J.D. ever was!"
Elliot groaned aloud.
"Well I do give one hell of a massage."
A chippendales dancer sat at Elliot's feet rubbing them.
"Wait, I never gave you foot massages."
J.D. said out loud.
"Huh?"
Elliot gave him a look.
"Nothing... nevermind. So you can't go with me. Does that mean your gonna be out with him?"
Elliot stopped in her tracks.
"What do you mean with him?"
Elliot looked at him sternly.
"I saw you two kissing the other day. It was only a matter of time before I found out."
Elliot pushed him roughly.
"Stay out of it J.D. god! When will you stop meddling! What Dr. Cox and I do in our spare time has nothing to do with you!"
She yelled at him and headed toward the door.
"Yes it!... Wait! Dr. Cox! What does he have to do with this?"
Elliot turned around.
"Crap."
She muttered under her breath.
"You just said you saw us kissing."
Elliot said pointing at him accusingly.
"I saw you kissing someone. I didn't see there face. Dr. Cox!"
J.D. measured the implications. All this time he'd tried to be close to Dr. Cox and it turned out the only reason he wasn't was because he wasn't a girl and he wanted to hug a lot of the time.
"No! It was some random intern! Besides, when is it your business."
Elliot walked out the door leaving J.D. behind.
"Because I love you."
Ted entered the hospital as Elliot hurried out of the hospital. He watched her disappear around a corner.
"Because I love you."
Ted turned to see J.D. standing there professing his love to him. Ted pointed to himself.
"Me?"
He asked a bit of hope in his voice.
"No not you Ted! Jeez."
Then J.D. walked past him and out the door.
"Why doesn't anybody love me?"
He asked himself as he walked sullenly down the hall.
