Clementine hurried to finish up her work for the day, typing hurriedly on her computer, inputting records and finishing up some last minute tasks. Clementine was wearing purple scrubs, her favorite color, even before she met Violet. She worked as a Physical Therapist at a facility near the hospital. The hours could be long, often it required her to travel to the hospital to see patients that were unable to make the small trip to the facility. It was a hassle, but the therapy company she worked for had a contract with the hospital, which they threatened to not renew if they didn't basically do whatever the hospital wanted whenever they wanted. It was money the small business couldn't afford to lose.

Clementine sighed as she punched in her last bit of information and signed out for the day, smiling brightly as she packed her bag. Today was her and Violet's 6 year anniversary, Brody said she would stay as late as they wanted so they could go to a nice dinner and maybe see a play at a local theater.

Just as Clementine reached the door, her boss called after her, "Are you leaving Clementine?" Clementine paused, she wanted to pretend she hadn't heard, to just keep walking and not look back, but she turned with a smile. 'What does it look like I'm doing?' came to her mind but she didn't say it.

"I was. Violet and I have plans tonight." 'Please don't ask me to visit a patient before I go, pleeeeeease', her head pleaded as she continued to force a smile.

"Is there any way you could run by the hospital on your way home? Emergency room discharge, person was in a car wreck, serious arm damage, they are refusing to be admitted but it could mean a new client for us. You wouldn't need to do anything, just give them our information." her boss explained, she hated how Lilly always made it seem like she had an option, a choice, but when she asked her to do something, she really meant 'go do this thing or I will make your life miserable'.

"Of course, I'll run by the ER on my way home, give them my card." Clementine said.

"We all know speaking face to face to our referrals gets more clients recruited." Lilly smiled as Clementine turned, leaving the building with a glare. Lilly called after her, "Thanks Clementine, you're a team player." As soon as Clementine got into her car she texted Violet.

Me: Have to run by the hospital, going to be late, sorry :(

MyVi: I was just about to text you. Brody went home sick. We can just go out this weekend

Me: Nooo, it has to be today, today is our anniversary, not this weekend

MyVi: uuuuugghhhh, I don't know why you have to celebrate on the actual day, it doesn't matter

Me: It matters to me...

MyVi: Fine... I'll see if I can get Lee or Louis or somebody

Me: You're the best wife ever! Definitely my favorite ;)

MyVi: -_-

Clementine shoved her phone in her bag and drove up to the hospital. Hopefully it wouldn't take too long, she could just introduce herself, hand out a business card and leave. Parking was always awful at the hospital, especially in the evenings when everyone was getting off work and coming to visit loved ones. After parking a ridiculous distance away, she walked into the ER, smiling when she saw Ruby behind the counter.

"Happy Anniversary Sug!" Ruby yelled when she saw her. "How many years has it been?"

"Six!" Clementine was happy she at least got to see a friendly face.

"Not too shabby, how's that boy doin'?" Ruby asked, typing on her computer as she talked. "I see we have a car crash victim flagged for a PT referral."

"He's growing up so fast! You and Aasim need to come by sometime." Clementine was leaning on the counter.

"I know, it's been too long, we will come over soon!" Ruby patted Clementine's hand.

"What bed number is the referral?" Clementine asked.

"Thirteen." Ruby answered, waving at Clementine as she started heading down the hall.

"Thanks!" she called from halfway down.

About an hour later Clementine finally came rushing out of the hospital. It had taken longer than it should have, it always did whenever she had to come into the hospital. People would start asking questions and doctors would pull her aside, once she came in it was always hard to get out.

Me: sorry it took me so long, on my way home, find a babysitter?

MyVi: Drive safe, I'm sorry I didn't, we can still go out this weekend, it'll be okay

Me: okay...

MyVi: I'm putting Luke down now

Me: Tell him mama says goodnight and I love him and miss him and I'm sorry I couldn't kiss him goodnight

MyVi: Clem, he's 9 months old

Me: :'(

MyVi: ...I'll tell him

Me: =D

Clementine pulled into the garage thirty minutes later. She threw her name tag into the passenger seat. It had been a busy day, even though all their plans had fallen through, she was just glad to be home. As she opened the door that led into the kitchen, she was met with darkness. Every light in the house was off and a flickering light was coming from the dining room.

"Vi? Why's it so dark in here?" Clementine called out as she dropped her bag in it's usual spot by the door and kicked off her shoes. "Vi?" Clementine walked into the dining room where the light was emanating. The dining room table had two plates, laden with food, candles lighting the room and standing at the held of the table, rubbing her arm nervously was Violet. Only Violet was wearing a little black dress with thin straps, she had a light coating of make-up on her face, and her hair was pulled up in an elegant do. Clementine opened and closed her mouth repeatedly, no words coming out.

"Happy anniversary?" Violet said, it came out as more of a question than a statement.

"Violet..." Clementine eliminated the space between them as quickly as she could, pressing her lips against Violet's, running her hand down her sides until they reached the hem of her dress and started coming back up, pushing the dress along with them.

"Clem!" Violet gasped against her lips, turning her head away as she grabbed Clementine's hands to prevent them from going up any further. Clementine, frustrated at being denied Violet's lips, moved on to her neck. "Clem!" Violet repeated somewhat breathless.

"What?" Clementine asked between kisses.

"I- I..." Violet started getting agitated as Clementine's hands resumed their trek.

"You...?" Clementine grinned, enjoying seeing Violet all red and flustered.

"I... I worked hard on all of this..." Violet managed to get out, grabbing Clementine's hands once more, "Can... can we at least eat first?"

Clementine stopped her kisses so that she could look into Violet's eyes, "That's what I was trying to get to if you'd stop grabbing my hands."

"C-Clem!" Violet gaped, "You know what I mean."

Clementine stepped back with a frustrated groan, "Alright, alright." she threw her hands up in defeat, "It's not fair of you to tease me like that though. You didn't even wear a dress at our wedding."

"I thought you liked my tux..." Violet frowned.

"I did!" Clementine reassured, grabbing Violet's hands, "You were absolutely gorgeous. This is just... different..."

"Does it look alright, really?" Violet pulled her hands away and flattened the material of her dress, looking down.

Clementine cupped her face, "You look hot."

"Food?" Violet asked as Clementine started leaning in again.

Clementine frowned at her rejected advances but smiled as Violet pulled a chair out for her. Violet sat in the chair across from her, smiling awkwardly, "Is all this okay?"

"This is more than okay!" Clementine reached her foot out under the table and set it on top of Violet's, "You are so thoughtful, this is amazing. The food looks great and who did your hair and make-up?"

They continued to talk as they started eating, "I did," Violet admitted, "Brody was going to do it but she wasn't looking so good when I got home from work so I drove her home, then drove Marlon back here to drive her car home. I've done make-up before, I'm just not very experienced at it..."

"You did a great job. Did you have all this planned the whole time? Were we ever really going to go out?" Clementine asked.

"I was going to take you to this really fancy place for dinner and dancing. This was plan B," Violet grinned sheepishly.

"Did you have the dress picked out already?" Clementine asked, running her foot up Violet's leg, causing her to flush and Clementine enjoyed watching as she still got flustered after all these years.

"Yeah... I was going to wear it dancing with you tonight. Brody helped me pick it out." Violet focused on her food.

"You look hot." Clementine said, reaching for her empty glass.

"Oh!" Violet jumped from her seat and grabbed the bottle of wine set off to the side, pouring Clementine a glass.

"Thank you." Clementine smiled, "I feel a little silly... still wearing my scrubs while you're dressed all... sexy."

"Trust me, I feel silly in this dress, maybe it's for the best that Lee and Carley couldn't babysit, I don't know if I could wear this outside of the house. I feel uncomfortable enough wearing it in the house..." Violet admitted, pouring herself a glass as well.

"The world is missing out then, but I don't mind if you save it for me." Clementine waggled her eyebrows. "I can't believe that Carley would pass up an opportunity to watch Luke though."

Violet laughed, "Apparently your old family friends, Kenny and Katja are in town for a short time. For a fishing convention?" Violet shrugged, "They are going out tonight, it was the only time they could get together."

"I haven't seen Kenny in forever!" Clementine's face lit up, "I can't wait to talk to Lee, see how he's doing. What was Louis up to?"

"He's out of town on a business trip." Violet answered, frowning, "speaking of which, I was asked to go on a trip for my work as well. It's part of my promotion that I didn't realize."

"Why do you look sad, that's amazing!" Clementine clapped her hands together, "That means they really trust you, this is good."

"It's going to be for a whole week and it's going to be the week that I was going to take my pregnancy test." Violet looked down at her plate.

"It's fine, Luke and I will miss you, but this is a good thing," Clementine stood up from her mostly empty plate and walked around to wrap her arms around Violet from behind, "We can face time after you take the test, it'll be like I'm right there with you."

"Who's going to hug me to cheer me up if it's negative?" Violet set her fork down, "Who's going to jump up and down with me if it's positive? This is my second time trying, I don't know if I can handle the disappointment alone..."

"If you're that worried, we can just wait until you get home to do the test." Violet nodded against Clementine's arms. "I can wait to do the test but I can't wait any longer to do you, come on." Clementine pulled Violet's chair out from the table.

"But I made dessert." Violet said, laughing as Clementine fell on the ground dramatically.

"You're killing me. I'm dead." Clementine bemoaned from the floor.

"Fine, we can have dessert after." Violet rolled her eyes as she stood and stepped over Clementine's head, giving her a preview as she headed towards the bedroom. Clementine's eyes widened as she followed Violet out of the room with her gaze. "Are you coming or should I take this dress off myself?" Violet teased.

Clementine scrambled off the floor, running into the bedroom, "Noooooooooo!"
