Short & Sweet
Enjoy lovebugs ;)
"Dr. Jones are you alright with this arrangement?" Her boss questioned as Samuel looked at her with a smug smile.
Mercedes cleared her throat, "Yeah that is fine."
"Excellent well I'll let you all get friendly with each other, welcome to the team Sam," The boss said as he walked away.
"Hi, I am Samuel Evans I am the new trauma surgeon." Sam introduced himself.
"Nice to meet you," Everyone spoke, once their pagers beeped they all grabbed their stuff leaving Sam and Mercedes alone.
"So you are the new trauma surgeon?" Mercedes asked.
"Yep, your booty call works with you," Sam smirked. Mercedes rolled her eyes and looked at her chart deciding she needed to make her rounds now before she got paged to do something else.
"Follow me," She began, "I am one of the head doctors I oversee all patients and surgeries if I want to when I want to. Santana Lopez is the obstetrician/gynecologist here. Quinn Fabray works as the anesthesiologist here, Jane Hayward is one of the top surgeons here you are lucky to see her because she is booked for surgeries for the majority of the day. Her husband Roderick Meeks works as an ER nurse, and then Artie Abrams is the surgical assistant. All of the surgeries are scheduled on the whiteboard where we were, that's where you go to see if you get booked for surgery. Everyone here is relatively nice, but you really want to suck up to one of the cafeteria ladies so they can slide you something extra. There is a daycare for all of the children of the employees here, and we always make sure to do what's right even if we can lose our jobs for it. That should cover everything, any questions."
"What's your phone number and when can we hang out again?" Sam asked smugly.
"Ok one you aren't getting it, and two that night was a one-time thing," Mercedes answered as she turned and looked at him.
"Dr. Jones I'm not very fond of liars,"
"Dr. Evans I don't care what you are and what you are not fond of, now if you excuse me I have rounds to make, if you want to get more acquainted with your surgeons and the surgical floor as a whole, I suggest you take the elevator to the fifth floor." Mercedes explained. She left him in the hallway to go do her rounds and secretly she was freaking out that her booty call was now going to be working within the same vicinity as her.
After her rounds and a few random patients, Mercedes had met up with Santana and Quinn met for lunch, in the cafeteria. She sat with her friends and instantly started spewing out her guts containing her new dilemma.
"Well does he wanna screw you again?" Santana questioned bluntly.
"Santana!" Mercedes chided.
"What obviously he likes you, and you like him or you wouldn't be freaking out like this,"
"What Santana is trying to say is that you like him, and he likes you so give it a chance, and even if it is sex Mercedes you still deserve to live your own life. Your life revolves around Iris and this hospital at one point in your own life are you going to start living for yourself?"
"I don't know, I just, once I left Matt I vowed to myself that I all would do is make sure Iris has everything and then some. I want my daughter to have the very best in life, and never to feel small like I did." Mercedes sighed.
"And she won't Iris will never let that happen to her, look just give him a chance, even if it is just sex," Santana spoke. Before she could answer all three women got a page for an incoming ambulance. They threw away their lunch and rushed out to the entrance awaiting for the truck
"What do you guys think it could be today?" Quinn questioned as the sirens neared.
"Hell in this town anything," Santana sighed out. When the truck pulled up Mike Chang and his partner Spencer Porter exited the van, with a young woman on a stretcher with blood pouring out of her abdomen.
"Young woman by the name of Charlie Darling, she was at the lake with her friends took a deep dive and landed straight down a rock. She has internal bleeding heart rate is steady but her oxygen is dropping." Spencer reported. The ladies worked in a frenzy Mercedes straddled the woman so she could get the blood under control while Santana and Quinn worked on bringing her oxygen levels up and keeping her heart rate steady. They rolled the gurney to the surgical floor to complete an emergency surgery.
"Young woman with some type of interior injury we know the bleeding is coming from her lower abdomen but we aren't sure where?" Mercedes announced as she got off the woman but kept her hand in the same position.
"We can't conduct the surgery until we figure out where the blood is coming from, if we do then she won't make it out alive," Sam spoke as he came over to them and helped Mercedes keep pressure on the wound.
"While that may be true we also have to recognize that this needs to be an emergency surgery ASAP!" Mercedes stressed.
"Dr. Jones, I need you to use your head and focus on getting the blood to stop and for her oxygen to get better," Sam pressed. Mercedes looked at the man before stepping back and taking off her coat. She grabbed a pair of surgical scissors and cut one sleeve off and then cut it in half. She lifted the body and was able to wrap a tourniquet around Charlie's ab and like magic, the bleeding stopped and her oxygen levels rose.
"Get her a full body scan, and rush the results so she can have surgery Dr. Evans," Mercedes said. She left the room with Santana and Quinn behind her and for about the fifth time today, Sam Evans smiled at the short sassy woman.
Mercedes was about to clock out and she wanted nothing more than to grab her daughter and get them home where her very comfortable bed was waiting for her. She wanted to shower get her daughter together and watch a show or two with a glass of wine until she fell asleep for the night. She was signing a piece of paper when Santana came up to her.
"Soooo," Santana said.
"Soooo what, San."
"Don't play dumb with me are you going to jump fish lips again or not?"
"Really, Santana that's what you came over to me about. Not to see if you wanted to keep Iris with you and Brittany, not to see if you were scheduled for any upcoming deliveries but to ask me about my lackluster sex life?"
"It wasn't lackluster on Friday besides what do you have to lose in this?"
"I have a five-year-old to think about,"
"Ok, I love Iris but she doesn't need to keep you from getting your womanly needs together, no one is saying that you have brought him around her before your booty calls. Speaking of womanly booty calls here comes trout mouth now," Santana said. Mercedes looked in the direction and found Sam coming over to them with that stupid smug smile on his face.
"Charlie is going to make a full recovery we found the blood to be coming from her lower intestine and was able to stop it, she should be waking up tomorrow morning sometime," Sam announced.
"Congratulations Dr. Evans would like a treat?" Mercedes said sarcastically.
"Only if you are offering." He smirked. Mercedes rolled her eyes at the man and turned towards him.
"What do you want?"
"You, preferably you in my bed, because I can't get enough of you so why are you playing hard to get."
"I'm not playing hard to get, I am just hard to get Evans."
"Hmm well, I like a challenge."
"Well go find another challenge, Evans." Mercedes said as she passed the nurse the clipboard she was holding.
"MOMMY, I got a free book today," Iris cheered as she ran towards her mother and Mercedes scooped her up in a big hug.
"You did baby well good job, ready to go home and get ready for bed?" Mercedes asked.
"Yep," She smiled as she nustled into Mercedes's neck.
"You have a daughter, I didn't know you were married," Sam began.
"I have a daughter but I am not married Samuel." Mercedes answered not sure why she was correcting him.
"Well you and your boyfriend have a very cute child," Sam said as he smiled at the little girl.
"She's single," Santana pointed out, "C'mon Iris let's go make a patient smile with that bright personality of yours while mommy finishes talking to Mr. Sam." Santana grabbed Iris from Mercedes and Mercedes turned back to him.
"See now why we can't work," Mercedes began.
"I think you are just using it as an excuse," Sam said.
"Ok, good job on your first day here Dr. Evans have a good night," Mercedes replied as she grabbed her things.
"It's Sam,"
"Huh?"
"When it is just you and me not on the clock you can call me Sam," He smiled.
"Ok, then well goodnight Sam."
