My first English one. Thanks to sunny for beta reading and correcting.
Kim
Kim watched Kerry grabbing the chart and her crutch, and then walking towards the door, never taking her eyes off her.
"That'll be a hard thing. She wouldn't even tell us her name and we couldn't find it anywhere." Kerry said, leaving the room.
"The parents are dead?" Kim asked, after Kerry had closed the door to the suture room, scribbling on the board she always carried around when she was on duty.
"Not yet." Kerry answered with a sigh, "But close to."
She closed her eyes and leaned against Kim.
"It's hard…I know." Kim whispered, scanning the area for possible audience before she kissed Kerry.
"You should talk to her now, Kim. She's scared. … and lonely." Kerry said, backing away.
"Next of kin?"
"Not that we know."
"Oh my…ok then let's see what she's telling me." Kim sighed.
Kerry looked around and stole a kiss from Kim again, her hand lingering on the cheek a moment longer than necessary. She smiled lightly.
"I guess we're both not in the mood for small talk tonight. Do you mind if I cancel dinner with Christy and Jen?" Kim asked.
Kerry shook her head no, then waved a short bye and turned towards the doctor's lounge.
Kim entered the suture room and looked at the small creature sleeping in the bed. She sat down on the stool next to the bed.
"Are you doctor Kerry's friend?" a child's voice asked and Kim froze, guessing that she and Kerry had been observed by the girl.
"Ohm…. What do you mean?" Kim asked.
"Well, you and doctor Kerry kissed each other, like mommy and daddy do. And don't tell me anything different, I saw you. I'm six and no little child anymore." Was the answer.
"Oh."
There was silence for a moment.
"So…. are you?" the child asked again.
"Ohm… What about telling me your name first and then I'm going to tell you mine and we can talk about what you have seen." Kim said and grinned.
The child first looked sceptical at her, and then nodded her ok, but didn't say anything.
"So, what's your name? Or do I have to guess? I'm not good at guessing, you know." Kim said a moment later.
"Ok." The girl nodded again, but still … No answer.
"So…I think I start then." Kim said again after a moment.
"I'm Doctor Legaspi, but you can call me Kim." She introduced herself and hold out her hand which the girl took.
"I'm Sarah." She said now.
"Ah. Nice to meet you Sarah."
"So you're going to tell me about you and doctor Kerry?" Sarah asked brightly and Kim's face turned red.
Kim went home at about 10 pm, knowing that Kerry wouldn't be off 'til 3 or 4 am. She drove home, planning to stay awake this time and wait for her girlfriend. But Kim failed and felt asleep in front of the TV screen in no time. She woke up at once when someone…Kerry…kissed her
