My Monthly Excursions Chapter 10
I do not own Scrubs.
"I love ice skating." Elliot said
"Elliot, you're clumsy on you're feet, how do you expect to be able to skate?" JD asked laughing
"I can skate JD!" Elliot shrieked
"Okay, okay." JD said
"JD, leave Barbie alone, if she wants to embarrass herself, then let her. We'll be able to make fun of her." Dr. Cox said
"Okay, you three, behave." Carla said
You two are pregnant, you shouldn't be skating anyway." Turk said
"We'll have you and Keith." Carla said
"Honey, I don't want to skate. Me and JD want to go have a snow fight." Turk whined
"I don't think so. If I have to be here, I'm skating." Dr. Cox said
"Maybe later Turk, we can all have a snowball fight." JD said seductively
"Maybe, if you're good." Dr. Cox said laughing
"So, do we want a boy or girl first?" JD asked
"Boy." Dr. Cox said
"When are we going to adopt?" JD asked
"I've set up an appointment for today. I've already did all the paper work. Their ready for us to come and pick one out." Dr. Cox said
"Wow, you were really ready for all of this." JD said amazed
"Of course, are you not?" Dr. Cox asked stopping and standing in front of him
"Of course, but I didn't think that you would have it all ready this quick." JD said
"I've been ready for all of this, since we got together." Dr. Cox said
"Wait, am I going to have part ownership of this kid?" JD asked
"Yes, when we go in, you'll sign papers too." Dr. Cox said
"Okay. Cool. I love you so much." JD said hugging him
"I love you too." Dr. Cox whispered in his ear and kissed him
"What is going on here?" Turk asked coming up to them
"We're going to get a kid today." JD said
"Congratulations!" Carla yelled and hugged both of them
"What's going on over here?" Elliot asked coming up to them with Keith and Jordan
"We're adopting a baby today." Dr. Cox answered
"Congratulations!" Elliot and Jordan yelled hugging them
"Congratulations." Keith and Turk said
Later that day JD and Dr. Cox snuck out and went to the adoption center. They stepped inside and were greeted by the owner.
"Good afternoon Mr. Cox." Mr. Ponds said
"Good afternoon. We're ready to adopt." Dr. Cox said
"Okay, follow me." Mr. Ponds said
"Do you want a boy or girl?" Mr. Ponds asked
"Boy." JD said
"Okay. Here we are." Mr. Ponds said opening the door
There were about thirty boys inside running around the one. One blonde head, blue eyed five year old was standing on top of the table.
"Who's that?" Dr. Cox asked
"His name if Jack. He's five. He's been kicked out of three adoption centers this year. He's a bit of a trouble maker. He likes to yell, and pick on people." Mr. Ponds explained
"I want him." Dr. Cox said
"Are you sure that's what you two want?" Mr. Ponds asked
"Yes." JD answered because Dr. Cox was going to the boy
"Hey Jack. My name is Perry. How are you doing today?" Dr. Cox asked
"What's it to you?" Jack asked
"Trouble maker, huh?" Dr. Cox asked and laughed
"Maybe, who wants to know?" Jack asked
Well I was, because I was thinking about adopting you." Dr. Cox said
"Why would you want to adopt me?" Jack asked
"I always wanted a son just like you." Dr. Cox said
"Why?" Jack asked
"Because he always wanted a son who acted just like you." JD said
"And who are you?" Jack asked
"JD, nice to meet you." JD answered
"Is he you're boyfriend?" Jack asked
"Yes, do you have a problem with that?" Dr. Cox asked getting worried
"No, doesn't bother me any." Jack said
"Would you be willing to let us adopt you?" JD asked
"Yeah, I'd like that." Jack said
"Good, let's go do some paper work." Mr. Ponds said
Later that day they returned to the ice skating party.
"Do you think we should of brought him this early to meet everybody?" Dr. Cox asked worried
"It's okay baby." JD whispered in his ear
"Who's this?" Carla asked grabbing him from Dr. Cox
"Jack Gilligan Dorian-Cox." JD answered
"Oh my god! He's so cute, he's a perfect blend of you two?" Carla shrieked
"Who you doing?" Jack asked winking at her
"He's a little more like Dr. Cox." Carla said smiling
"Jack this is Carla, a good friend of ours." JD answered
"Who's engaged and pregnant." Turk said walking up
"Turk, meet Jack Gilligan Dorian-Cox." Carla said handing Jack over
"Wow, it's almost like you two had this kid, he's a perfect mixture of you two." Turk said
"Jack this is Turk. Carla's fiancé." JD said
"Who's the cute kid?" Elliot asked
"Jack Gilligan Dorian-Cox." JD answered
"He's so cute, he looks a lot like Dr. Cox, but he has JD's beautiful eyes." Elliot said
"What's going on?" Jordan asked coming up
"Jordan, this is Jack Gilligan Dorian-Cox." Dr. Cox said handing Jack over
"Wow. He's beautiful. He's the perfect blend of you and DJ. He's got you're face and JD's eyes." Jordan whispered
"What's wrong with my eyes?" Dr. Cox asked looking defended
"Nothing, but JD has beautiful eyes." Jordan said looking at him
"Thanks." JD said walking up to them
"Jack this is Jordan." JD said looking back and forth at them as they stared at each other
"Hi." Jack said and smiled
"Oh my god, he even had DJ's smile." Jordan said
"So you like him?" Dr. Cox asked still staring at Jordan
"Yes, he's perfect." Jordan said looking in his eyes
JD walked away.
"What do you say Jack, how about we take JD and go skating." Dr. Cox said turning around
"Where'd he go?" Jordan asked
"Watch Jack for me." Dr. Cox said handing Jack over and running off
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Turk asked
"Did you see the way they were staring at each other? He still loves her, and he's going to dump me soon." JD cried
"You two just adopted a kid, under each of you're names." Turk said
"They still love each other! I don't think I can handle breaking Dr. Cox's heart like that!" JD said yelling
"You're not breaking his heart. I've seen the way he looks at you, and Jordan, and there completely different looks. His look for you is love, of the soul mate kind. His look for Jordan is love, of the friends forever, but some history kind." Turk said
"He's never looked at me like he used to look at Jordan when they we're still together." JD said
"We weren't even here when they were dating." Turk said
"I've seen pictures Turk! He still looks at her that same way." JD yelled and then softened
"I don't think that's true." Turk said
"I need to get away from here for awhile." JD said
"Where are you going?" Turk yelled
"Just cover for me!" JD yelled
"Where is he going?" Dr. Cox yelled
"I don't know, he didn't say." Turk said
"I needed to tell him something." Dr. Cox said
"Well, he's a little upset about the googly eyes you were making at Jordan earlier." Turk accused
"I was not. I don't have any feelings for Jordan! You want to know the news I was going to tell him?" Dr. Cox asked
"Sure." Turk said cautiously
"Jordan met someone, a month ago. The babies his, not mine." Dr. Cox said and walked away
"You want me to go find him for you?!" Turk yelled
"No!" Dr. Cox yelled back
Later that night Dr. Cox walked into his apartment and found JD slumped over on the couch.
"Why'd you come here?" Dr. Cox asked
When JD didn't respond Dr. Cox walked over and looked at him. He had a bottle in his hand, and it had a note inside of it. It read:
Dear Dr. Cox,
I love you, but I can't stand to hurt you any more. So I'm leaving. Go to Jordan and raise Jack and you're other baby together, and live happily ever after. I've already moved my stuff back to the apartment. By the time you get this note I'll be back at my apartment. I've decided to move to New York, to get away from you. I won't be able to stand working beside you anymore. I will miss you and all the fun we've had together. Bye forever.
Love, JD.
"Son of a bitch." Dr. Cox whispered
"JD, wake up." Dr. Cox said pushing on JD
JD dropped the bottle to the floor, and Dr. Cox bent down to get it. When he did he noticed three other bottles on the floor. Dr. Cox jerked up and checked JD's pulse. He found one, but it wasn't right. So he picked him up and headed towards the hospital.
"What happened to JD?" Jack asked
"He has alcohol poison." Dr. Cox answered
"What's that?" Jack asked
"It's when you drink too much alcohol." Dr. Cox answered
"Is he going to be okay?" Jack asked
"God I hope so." Dr. Cox said with tears in his eyes
"Dr. Cox, he's up." Dr. Kelso said
"Great, watch Jack for me for a minute." Dr. Cox said running off
"Hey stupid." Dr. Cox said entering the room
"Hey." JD said
"You almost killed yourself tonight." Dr. Cox said
"It's the almost that gets to me." JD said
"Why?" Dr. Cox asked
"Because if I couldn't have you, I didn't want to live!" JD yelled
"You are never going to lose me!" Dr. Cox yelled back
"Until the day Jordan wants you back!" JD yelled
"Oh yeah, I got you're note. What the hell JD!" Dr. Cox yelled
"Can you just leave me alone?" JD asked softly
"Fine, but I there was something I needed to tell you. Jordan got married in Vegas, and she found out that the baby isn't mine." Dr. Cox said leaving the room and slamming the door
"How is he?" Everybody asked in unison
"Fine. Come on Jack, we're going home." Dr. Cox said
"You're just going to leave him?" Carla demanded
"He doesn't want me here." Dr. Cox said sadly
Dr. Cox went home and put Jack to bed. Then he went into the living room and cleaned up the beer cans. Then he sat down on the couch, drank and watched television.
A few hours later they discharged JD. He went home with Turk and Carla. When they got home Turk and Carla went to bed. JD sat down on the couch and cried himself to sleep.
The next morning JD was at the nurse's station when Dr. Cox walked up, slammed a clipboard down, and walked away.
"Why is he mad at you? He's the one who left you at the hospital last night." Carla said glaring after him
"I made him mad by suggesting that he still loved Jordan." JD said
"But Bambi, he doesn't. I have never seen him love anyone, or anything more than you." Carla said
"I know. He told me last night that Jordan was married, and the baby wasn't his." JD said
"How does she know that it isn't Dr. Cox's?" Carla asked
"I don't know, I have to talk to him." JD said walking away
Later that day it was lunch time and JD and Dr. Cox were sitting at a table, whispering and laughing.
"So does this mean you two made up?" Carla asked sitting down
"Yeah, he forgave me." JD said
"What about leaving you at the hospital last night?" Turk asked
"Which JD forgave me for." Dr. Cox said
"I'm glad." Carla said
