I wake up with a terribly headache so I know Tobias's head must be killing him. As if one cue I hear. "OWW my head!" from the other room.
I walk out to the living room to find Tobias sitting up on the couch rubbing his head and his eyes are clenched shut. He looks kind of pathetic in a sad sort of way. I wish there was something I could do for him."Baby didn't you take the medicine that I left with you?" I ask quietly.
He groans in response to my question. I turn and look at the table and see the glass of water still full and the two pills are still lying there as well. "Tobias I left these pills here for you last night, and you didn't take them that is why you have a massive headache." I say sweetly.
He places his hand out to me, and I give him the pills and the water he takes them quickly. I leave him on the couch. I go into the kitchen and make him some coffee. I come back to the living room, and Tobias is nowhere to be seen. I go to his bedroom and he isn't there. I knock on the bathroom door that is attached to his bedroom and I hear a groan.
"Tobias are you okay?" I ask.
"I'm fine really, just never let me drink that much ever again." He says moaning.
I walk into the bathroom and find him hugging the toilet.
"Honey come lay down in bed." I say trying to get him off the bathroom floor.
"I don't want to move. The coldness of the floor feels amazing." he says smiling.
I giggle and try to heave Tobias to his feet, but he is too heavy for me to lift. "Come to bed baby, and I will lay down with you." I say.
Tobias gets up slowly and brushes his teeth then goes to bed and gets underneath the covers. I quickly follow him and snuggle into his side, and Tobias wraps his arm around me protectively. Tobias and I sleep the awhile. I am startled awake from Tobias who is breathing heavy. He is acting like he is having a nightmare. I try to wake him up, but he isn't waking up. I push him and try to move him to wake him up. Finally, his eyes shot open. He looks around scanning his surroundings looking for danger. I have seen these eyes before when he has flashed back to his time in Iraq. "Tobias, you are okay. You are home with me." I say trying to back him off the metaphorical cliff.
I place my arms around him. Tobias lays there for a moment. I feel him let out a breath. He leans over and gives me gentle kiss. "Thank you Tris. I don't know what I would do do without you sometimes." he says sweetly.
"Well you are never going to have to find out." I say smiling at him.
"Tris, I have been waiting for you to bring it up, but I can't wait any longer. Last night at the club while I was waiting for you. I saw Eric. He seems to think that something is going on between the two of you. If there is, please, just let me know. I will give you the space to figure out your feelings. I promise. I won't stand in your way. If Eric is who makes you happy. I will step aside, as much as I don't want to, but your happiness means the world to me." Tobias says sadly.
"Tobias, how could you even think that. You are the person that I want to be with. Eric has for months been hitting on me. He has been making me uncomfortable." I say.
"Are you sure, because I saw you two in the club and it looked like to me like you were happy to see him." Tobias say.
"No, if anything. I was trying to tell him off. He has been coming onto me for months. I have been trying to get him to stop." I say.
"What do you mean? He has been coming onto you for months? Why haven't you told me this before now?" Tobias asks raising an eyebrow at me.
"I don't know. I thought I could handle it. I did handle it at the club. I think I got the message to Eric finally." I say.
"Okay if you say so, but if he does anything. I mean even speaks wrong to you, let me know. I don't want you going near him." Tobias says angrily.
"Okay I promise. I will stay away from Eric. Believe me. I don't want anything to do with him." I say.
I lay my head on Tobias's chest feeling better about telling him about everything that has been going on with Eric. Tobias's heart beats quickly in his chest. After several moments his heart beat slows down. I look up and Tobias is back asleep. I lay my head back down on his chest and his heart beat lulls me back to sleep.
Time Skip
I wake up early the next morning with my stomach growling. I turn over and stare at Tobias who is sleeping with his hand behind his head and his other hand lying across his stomach. I stare at his abs and I love that the majority of the time he sleeps shirtless. His lips are slightly parted and his brow is furrowed. He looks like he is concentrating hard on whatever he is dreaming about. His face has a light dusting of facial hair and his hair is going every which way. I give him a kiss on his lips, and then I give him little peaks leading from his chest up his neck to his lips.
"Hey." I say when he opens his eyes and he gives me a light kiss back.
"Did you have a good sleep last night? Are you feeling better?" I ask sweetly.
"I slept good last night, and I am feeling better. I could get use to that wakeup call." he says smiling.
"Come on baby we have to get up." I say
"But why? It is so early?" he groans and turns over.
I go over to him and pull the covers down off his body. I use all my weight and push against him, and he falls off the bed with a thud.
"Hey that wasn't very nice you know."He says trying to pretend to me angry with me.
"I told you we need to get up?" I say smiling at him from up on the bed while he is still on the floor.
"But why?" he asks still smiling up at me from the floor.
"Because silly. Did you forget that you are due back to the hospital today? The last day of vacation was yesterday, and we can't be late." I say.
I roll back to my side of the bed. The next thing I hear is Tobias grabbing the alarm, and saying loudly "SHIT!"
He jumps up off the floor and throws me over his shoulder. "Tobias put me down now." I say lightly hitting his back. He drags me down the stairs saying "No."
He drags me out to the kitchen and plops me down on the stool. He makes me breakfast. He pours himself a cup of coffee, and he makes me a cup of tea. He sets down a steaming bowl of oatmeal in front of me, and I smell it. The smell is mouthwatering. I take a bite and I moan. It tastes delicious. Tobias grins like he is pleased with himself. He places his bowl of oatmeal down next to me and takes a seat. He quickly downs his food and sees that I am done. He throws me back over his shoulder. "You know I can walk right?" I say sarcastically.
Tobias doesn't respond. The next thing I know I am being tossed onto my bed. Tobias walks out laughing at his stunt and shuts the door. "You think you are funny? Don't you?" I yell towards the closed door.
He doesn't say anything. I get off my bed and get dressed in my scrubs for the day.
I walk out to the living room waiting for Tobias to come out so that way we can leave. I go to the kitchen since I have time to kill and make us both lunches. After I am done. I bring the bags that contain our lunches out into the living room and place them down on the table. Tobias comes out with a big grin on his face. "Hello beautiful are you ready to go?" He says sweetly.
"Yes I am. I made you lunch." I say.
I give him the bag, and he smiles saying . "I knew I kept you around for a reason."
I giggle and hit him lightly. I say laughing "Be nice. Will you?"
"No, I like getting you going. It makes you more feisty." He says quipping an eyebrow at me.
He reaches out to me, and I walk closer to him. He brings me close to him. "Please, stay away from Eric today. I will deal with him." Tobias says.
"It's fine Tobias. I have a feeling Eric is going to back off from now on." I say.
"Okay, but so help me if he doesn't he will be answering to me." Tobias says.
He brings me close to him and puts his face in my hair. "I love you Tris. You smell good this morning." He says trying to lighten the mood.
"Thank you. It is called a shower." I say sarcastically.
"Haha very funny Miss Prior you are treading on dangerous territory." Tobias says smiling at me.
"I am. am I? I guess I will have to watch my back then. I won't want to upset my scary boyfriend." I say giggling.
"Oh you are so lucky we have to leave now, if we don't want to be late. You are in trouble tonight though." He says smirking.
I giggle at him and say "okay babe whatever you say."
"Miss Prior this is no laughing matter" Tobias says while trying to keep a straight face.
I make a silly face at him and giggle.
"You are so damn cute when you are smiling and giggling. You make me feel like a teen again." Tobias says to me.
I grab his hand and we go out to the car. Tobias and I walk hand in hand to the hospital, and I wait in the lobby to meet with my clinical group. I am the first one there since Tobias has to be at the hospital so early. Christina comes into the hospital a few minutes later. We discuss what we think Marcus is up with this meeting. Marcus decided to call a meeting this morning, and all of us were required to go. Marcus comes walking in late as usual, and everyone stops their conversations. We all look at him.
"Hope everyone had a good vacation." Marcus says "I just wanted to remind everyone of the rules. Now since you have been on your units for a semester we will be gathering every week to hear about what you are doing on your unit, and I also expect weekly written reports given to me. These written reports should be about three pages in length. You should set a goal for the week; say how you accomplished the goal, whether you have met your goal that you set for the week. You should reflect on your week, and how if you could go back what you would change about what you did that week. I expect these to be given to me every week and yes you must change your goals weekly. I also expect you to find two nursing research articles that relate to the area of nursing that you are doing clinical in and do a critique on each of them. Those will be due around mid-semester. If you fail to hand me your weekly write up, or fail to hand in your critiques you will fail this clinical. I will make sure that you will not graduate. Also just a reminder there is no fraternizing with doctors or residents."
As Marcus says that last sentence he is staring directly at me. I think to myself oh boy Marcus has it out for me this semester. We are excused to our individual units. Christina whispers to me and says "Hey, you and Four better be careful because it seems Marcus is looking to make it so you don't graduate."
"I know. Wait a minute. Can you give Four this letter from me?" I ask.
I hurry up and explain the situation about Marcus' speech this morning to Tobias threatening that if anyone of us fraternize with a doctor or a resident we would fail clinical and not be allowed to graduate. I give Christina the letter and hurry up to meet Tori. As it is Marcus's little speech has made me almost an hour late. I run onto the unit in a hurry and find Tori. I give her a brief summary about Marcus and all he had to say.
Tori shakes her head and assigns me to my patients and give me report on all of them. I see Tobias come onto the unit and he walks over to me. I pray to god Tobias will keep it professional because knowing my luck Marcus is lurking around the corner. "Nurse Tris can you please help me. I would like an update on Ms. Jones since I last saw her this morning."
He smirks at me and I give him my report. "Ms. Jones is pleasant individual. She complained about pain of a 9/10 this morning in her abdomen. Tori medicated her with Diludad as ordered and her pain level has decreased to a 5/10. Her lung sounds are clear, positive pulses in all extremities, heart rate normal, normal sinus rhythm is showing on the cardiac monitor, no edema in her extremities, she has bowel sounds, her abdomen is soft, but distended and she has pain on palpation in her lower right abdomen. She started preop antibiotics this morning and is scheduled for surgery this afternoon for her appendix to be removed. Her vital signs are stable although she is developing a low grade temperature she was medicated and the temperature since then has been normal."
"Thank you. That was a very thorough update and it was greatly appreciated. I hate to be a bother, but could you please help me find some supplies that I need, to perform a procedure." Tobias says trying to remain professional.
I lead the way to the supply closet. As soon as the door closes Tobias grabs me and I spin into his chest. He holds me close and says "I got your note this morning from Chris. I guess we will have to be even more careful this semester then we were last semester. I have missed you today."
I giggle and say "I have missed you too."
I lean my head up and he leans his head down and kisses me softly. He picks me up, I wrap my legs around him, and I set my hands on his shoulders. After a few moments Tobias sets me down on my own two feet, and my head is spinning from the kiss. It has so much emotion poured into it, and it is so passionate. I feel loved and adored after this kiss. Tobias is saying something to me, but I am stuck in a daze. I shake my head and say "What were you saying?"
Tobias laughs and says "I must be a good kisser for you to be in that much of a daze."
"You aren't a good kisser, you are a great kisser." I say flirting with him.
Tobias grins at me and says "As I was saying. I really do need supplies for a procedure, but I don't need your help finding them. I just wanted to get you alone."
"Okay whenever you need help finding supplies I will be sure to assist you Dr. Eaton." I say winking and giggling at him.
"What procedure are you doing on the floor that isn't being done in the OR?" I ask curiously.
"I am placing a PICC line on Mrs. Jones." He says.
"Oh can I watch? I am one of her nurses today." I ask.
"Sure, just don't distract me." Tobias says seriously.
"I won't. I promise." I say winking at him.
I open up the door, and Tobias attempts to become all busy saying "Thank you Tris for all your help."
I return to my cart and find Tori smiling at me from a few feet away. She says "You two are so bad. You are going to get caught by Marcus. Speaking of Marcus. He came around while you were helping Dr. Eaton with his problems."
My smile drops off my face. "What did he say and what did you say?" I ask.
"Relax I covered for you. He wanted to know where you were, and how I thought you were doing. Which I gave you a stellar report thank you very much. I told him you were helping a doctor find supplies for a procedure. He seemed to buy the story." Tori says with a smile.
"Thank you Tori you are the best. Although I was helping Four find supplies. He is going to be putting a PICC into Mrs. Jones and I get to watch." I say.
"Very well. I hope you find that experience interesting." Tori says happily.
I leave her to go take care of patients and the first half of the day goes by quickly. I can't wait to see Tobias. I see Tobias enter the unit again, and he comes up to me and says "You ready Tris to watch a PICC be placed."
"I sure am Dr. Eaton." I say excitedly.
I watch Tobias place the PICC line with ease. I stand there thinking to myself how at ease he is with the procedure and how graceful he is with a surgical blade. He really is talented. He is kind, compassionate, and gentle with Mrs. Jones all the while reassuring her that everything is going well. After that he exits the unit. He waves at me. The rest of the day passes quickly. I can't wait to see Tobias at the end of the day. Sadly life always has bigger plans than what you imagine.
Until Next Time! Big things are happening in the next chapter. Don't forget to review.
