This is chapter ten sorry it has been so long I told you in the last chapter that it might be awhile but still sorry. Oh it has been two weeks in the story as well Jordan is 17 weeks pregnant. Note: I do not own the night shift.
*Jordans P.O.V*
Ah another great shift I wasn't tired going into it this time and now in the middle of the shift i'm walking around with a bag of chips I do this alot. My pager went off telling me A had a patient and where i was needed so I put my bag of chips in my pocket and headed over. It was a female age 19 complaining of headaches.
"Hi im doctor Alexander I will be your doctor tonight" I said reaching out my now gloved hand to shake. I had gotten some bigger scrubs and even though im 17 weeks I barely show in them.
"Um hi" she said shyly "you um ah have something on your face I don't mean to be rude but"
"It's fine" I stopped her "It's probably just chip dust" I wiped my mouth with a tissue before continuing. I pull out the bag of chips to show her "low blood sugar sorry" I put them back in my pocket before continuing. "So we're gonna see if we can break your headache with something stronger than what you have been taking and if we can't we're gonna do a head C.T to see if we can find whats wrong." I explained.
"OK" she mumbled I left her in the good care of the nurses and the next time I saw her was signing discharge papers so I guess she was fine. I had another patient right after and this time I came in holding the bag of chips I needed to finish them. It was a older woman I think in her 70s
"What improper act for a doctor" she said right away.
"Sorry" I said swallowing and throwing the bag away. "I have low blood sugar and would hate to pass out on you" I explained for the second time that night. A little later after I treated her I was in the breakroom. I'm not gonna risk eating in front of a patient so im eating a sandwich now. Stupid pager I have been busy all night just when I finish my sandwich it's goes off again. I don't get to eat for the rest of the shift and by the end I am starting to get weak and dizzy. Stupid stupidness I was sitting in the locker room after the shift I was waiting for T.C to tell me it was time to go. I was eating a cookie that I found in the breakroom. I hoped that would keep my blood sugar up. T.C came a bit later and we went home where I ate like 3 servings of pasta trying to get my blood sugar up. T.C didn't laugh because he knew this was serious but he did stare at me. After a while I could feel my blood sugar going back up and then I slept for a long time. When I woke up the clock said 5:30pm. I shot up but like T.C always does when I oversleep there is still warm food on the bedside table and a set of scrubs neatly folded on the edge of the bed. I don't know what I would do without him. I got up scarfed down the food before getting out of bed thats when T.C came in hopefully it would have been to wake me.
"Ah your up" he said "the hospital is not expecting us till 6:30 so I was just coming to wake you."
"Of course" I sighed "what did you do?" I asked.
"Nothing I was just chatting Topher and he said he couldn't hear you in the background and I said you weren't up yet so he said we didn't need to be in till 6:30 and to let you sleep"
"Of course we will be there at 6" I told him standing up and changing quickly
"Oh why so serious?" He asked with a stupid grin.
"I am not going to get compensated because I'm pregnant" I told him grabbing my bag and keys.
"Oh relax that's not why" he tried to reason. "OK maybe it is but that doesn't matter" he said. I started heading towards the door he followed like a puppy grabbing his backpack on the way. We went to the work and surprise surprise we didn't make it till 6:30pm. The shift felt longer than usual I was so tired the back to back shifts were starting to take their toll on my pregnant body. In the middle of the shift I was leaning against a wall yawning with a cup of tea. Topher saw me and slapped me gently on the shoulder.
"Go rest the couch in the breakroom is really comfy turn your pager off just for a little while" I didn't want to but I knew I needed to so I nodded and switched my pager off in front of him. I went into the breakroom. I moved the pillows that sat on it around till I could lay with one under my swollen stomach and one under my head. I don't know how long I slept until later but when I woke up I had two missed pages on my pager. I fixed my hair so it looked like I hadn't been asleep. But when I turned Kenny was sitting in a chair sipping a cup of coffee.
"You um saw then?" I asked Kenny
"Yah you were asleep on the couch yeah Topher told everyone not to page you, cause you where busy. Then I came in here a few minutes ago and their you were sleeping on the couch." he said. I nodded and blushed.
"Sorry I was so tired and Topher told me to come in here and rest so I did" I explained.
"Ah I figured anyway doctors been looking for you for about a hour now" he said.
"Um how long have I been out" I asked still embarrassed about being found.
"Not sure about a hour ago people were paging you and that's when Topher said not to bother you." Kenny said I checked my pager both were from over a hour ago.
"Thanks" I mumbled leaving the room I went to find Topher. He was sitting at his desk looking over paperwork. He waved when I came up.
"Why did you let me do that" I sighed I felt better at least.
"Because you needed the rest from now on no more then two shifts in a row and your not coming in tomorrow your gonna go home and rest" Topher told me. I sighed
"Whatever you say" I said sarcastically. I grabbed a case from the pile and got back to work i was fine the rest of the shift but that two hour nap still felt like a mistake. I went home after the shift and like ordered didn't go in the next day and didn't work more then two shifts in a row except on a couple of occasions.
This feels like a good place to end I'm not gonna upload it till the next one is ready so you will be seeing two chapters at once.
