So yeah, probably expected but yeah whatever... enjoy~~~~
Cox interrupted JD doing his daily rounds. JD sighed and let him take control, although Cox had being nicer or lazier lately it was still best not to get in the way.
He snickered as he followed his doctors and Cox around.
It's WEK that's making him soft. That kid is changing him.
"There's no need to be a hero around here, just a doctor" he exclaimed leading them away from JD
JD followed closely behind waiting to find out the meaning of this.
"Each spot in this hospital I can point out a different time I saved some one, being a doctor not a hero"
"This bed had a failing patient" he pointed out "Over there at the nurses' station? A nurse was choking, guess who saved her?" he pointed to himself "Even in the elevator, a lady was giving birth. I managed to deliver the child"
JD gasped where had I heard this story before? It was only this week….
WEK, WEK was born in one of the elevators here.
"What? Are you trying to be sarcastic? Cause it did happen Betty" he rolled his eyes "You interns, GO!" they all scrambled off
"How long ago?" JD suddenly asked following him
"What?" Cox asked with disgust pacing the corridors faster to try and lose JD
"How long ago did you deliver the baby?"
"I don't know.." he thought about it stopping "It was my mother's 50th birthday… so about 16 years ago?"
Another gasp escaped his mouth before he covered his mouth
"Okay, what's going on now Sarah?" muttered Cox confused and annoyed
"I have to go" he mumbled before speed walking down the hall
If Cox was telling the truth and so was WEK, there was a possibility they had known each other since WEK was born. Cox could be happy about that and maybe WEK would be too, so she wouldn't feel so nervous in this hospital.
Why don't I feel surprised to find there is more to this friendship?
This is hilarious, I'm sure WEK will be utterly surprised…
Doesn't this mean that Cox was at WEK's mum's final moments? Uh oh, that can cause some tension, poor WEK, everything seem to be settling down for her
Daydreaming, he ran into Turk who was chatting up Carla
"Turk I need your help" he looked at Carla
Carla put her hands up in a sign of defence "I ain't getting involved" before she walked away
"What dude?" he asked annoyed "I was so hooking in to her"
"Cox delivered WEK when she was a baby and I'm the only one that knows" he whispered quickly before gasping for air
"Not anymore" he laughed not listening to muh
"You know what I mean-"
"Well watcha going to do?" he asked as he looked through a clipboard
"Dude" JD took the clipboard off him "Concentrate?"
"This is what you're going to do" Carla said walking into the conversation
"You heard?!" exclaimed JD
"Come on it's Carla, if it's gossip. She knows" laughed Turk "No offence babe"
"She has to know, so does Cox. I don't know if you guys have noticed but Cox has become much more likable because of WEK being around and I like WEK, so this would be nice news for her" she said "And even him" she looked over at Cox who walked pass
Carla looked at JD, no way was he going to put himself in that position and rolled her eyes "I'll tell him"
Carla was sitting in the small office Cox owned. It was crowded and smelt old. Carla sighed putting her phone away and looked up to Cox.
Surely this would be good news for him. Surely he would like this news? The way that WEK and Cox had being getting on lately has being pretty good. As if they were best friends?
She smiled a little and worked up the courage to start talking.
"Remember all those years ago when you delivered that baby in the elevator?" asked Carla standing in Cox' office reading a magazine
He laughed and stopped doing his paperwork for a second "Yeah…" before frowning
"What was the exact date of that happening?" she asked and sat down in a seat nearby Placing the magazine down
" 12th of September, 16 years ago" remembering the day of the his mother turned 50 and had begged for a boob job as a present.
Carla was shocked, she was sort of thinking that the gossip was not true, she was hoping anyway… she was not the one to tell him
"That's funny, that's WEKs birthday. And she's 16 too" She said smoothly
"This is a big place Carla"
"No sir" walked in JD waiting for the right moment "She actually told me she was born in the elevator at this hospital"
He leaned back in his chair confused for a few moments before it hit him like a tonne of bricks
Cox looked at Carla who nodded and shrugged
So he had known her for her life. He wanted to laugh, he remembered that day when he delivered the baby then the mother died a few minutes later, the promise she made the mother
"Take care of her, please" she whispered gasping for air
The young doctor was scared; he was holding the baby for its life. The baby, screaming and crying
The mother muffled a laugh, her jet black hair full of sweat "She's going to be a handful"
Cox wanted to reply but the doctors then rushed around the woman trying to revive her, help her.
They rushed her out of the elevator, leaving Cox and the baby in there.
Cox looked down at the baby who had stopped crying, the baby bold and looking pretty ugly.
"Hi there" he whispered and kissed the baby "Let's find-Let's get you cleaned up" he whispered
Before jumping off the elevator and taking her to the nurses' station
"Isn't she beautiful?" squealed Carla, freshly out of college at the age of 22 wrapped the slimy baby in a warm towel cleaning its face gently
Cox smiled a little "She's perfect"
"Where's the mother?" she asked looking up to the young doctor
Cox looked down at his shoes "She didn't make it"
"You're a hero you know?" she told him not taking her eyes off the baby "You saved this babies life! Come on cutie, let's go clean you up" she cooed at the baby
Cox stood there watching the baby disappear down the corridor, wishing that he could have said goodbye and apologise for her mother passing on.
"Cox?" asked Carla "You remember that day to clearly as well hey?" Cox left his memories and faced reality
Cox nodded "The first baby I delivered as a doctor" he sighed
She sighed as well and smiled "I remember how confused you were with her, you didn't know how to hold her" she laughed
"Wow, so all this time Cox knew WEK. Did you meet her mother?" asked JD sitting down
There was silence for a few moments. The only noise heard was the ticking clock "The connection" he mumbled
"Betty, out!" he shouted realising that Carla and him weren't the only one in the room
Carla rolled her eyes as JD walked out grumpily and slammed the door shut
"Tell me about this connection" asked Carla
"She's brave and independent" he started "She doesn't need people to tell her what to do. She's like an adult but with all the attitude"
"Just like you" she laughed
Cox smiled then chuckled "Well yeah actually"
"Do you feel she understands you better because of this connection?" asked Carla, daring to hope in this new friendship
"Yeah, it's like she understands how to really connect with me you know?" he paused for a moment "Okay, enough with the emotional shit. You have a job to do, get to it!"
Cox rubbed his temples hoping that would relief come to his heavy heart
