Chapter three
Once again there is so parts of this chapter inspired by the movie 'waitress'. I've re written it to suit grey's. I think this is the last chapter that does so.
The same day
Jo walks down the hallway with Steph and Jenna when she hears her phone ring. She picks it up out of her pocket and notices Paul's caller I.D and as much as she didn't want to answer his call, she knew that if she didn't then he'd be mad. "Hi, Paul," Jo says as she answers a phone call. "Good, good. No, I-I am glad you called. Are You picking me up tonight?" She asks. "No, that's fine, I'll ask Steph to give me a ride. Yes, I know you work hard. Paul, I've got to get back. I'm pretty busy today. Okay. Bye. I love you too." She sighs and hangs up her phone call.
"Can you give me a a ride home Steph? Paul can't get here and we get off at the same time," Jo asks as she places her phone into the pocket.
"Sure," Steph says nodding her head. "But didn't he but you a car?"
"He did, but he hardly lets me drive it," Jo sighs.
"You need to leave that husband of yours," Jenna states.
"It's just not that simple. Especially now that I'm pregnant. But I have a plan... sort of," she sighs.
"I know honey," Jenna replies with a slight smile. Jo nods her head in reply and hears her pager go off. She looks down at it and notices that it was from the ER. She was on Callie's service so she heads down to the ER to finds her.
"Dr Torres, I was paged," Jo stages as she sees her at the nurses station in the ER.
"Ah Yes, Dr Stadler. Jordan Rhys, 24. He was ridding his bike this morning when he was clipped by a car going at a slow speed and injured his knee," Callie says as they walk over to bay 5.
"Hi Jordan, I'm Dr Stadler and this is Dr Torres, we're going to be taking care of you today," Jo says. She then looks at his chart and notices that his vitals had been taken by a nurse 5 minutes ago. "Your vitals are stable so I'm going to take you up to get an X-ray on that knee."
"Well done Dr Stadler. Take Jordan up to X-ray and page me when you get the results," Callie replies with a nod of the head. Callie leaves the room and with the assistance of two nurses Jo takes him up to X-ray.
"Dr Stadler..." Jordan begins as Jo assists him to the X-ray table.
"Please, call me Jo," She interjects.
"Jo, you are very hot," he grins.
"Oh, Um..." Jo says taken back. If Paul heard this then Jordan would get his head bitten off and She would too. "I'm married, and pregnant and I'm not exactly thrilled about it. My... my life is very complicated and the last thing I need is for you to be calling me hot," Jo blurts out.
Jordan looks at Jo uncomfortably and gives an anxious look back, "just lay back and don't move. I'm going to get the radiologist to do the scan and I'll be back to collect you," Jo says.
Scene break
"Alright, what's going on?" Callie asks Jo as she walks into the X-ray exam room that Jo had paged her too.
"It's his Patella, it's shattered," Jo says as she points to the scan.
"Okay, so what should we do?" Callie asks Jo.
"He will need surgery to wire is knee back together," Jo says.
"Well done. Book and OR and prep him for surgery," Callie replies with a nod.
That night
Jo and Paul's house
"Please? Please? Please? Please? Come on, honey," Paul begs and he sits on the lounge with Jo.
"I... I feel sick in my stomach," Jo replies.
"You know, I don't remember the last time," Paul points out.
"I feel about as sexy as a tree stump," she replies blankly.
"You haven't been sexier. And am I imagining it, or are your breasts getting bigger? It's Like they grew a size practically overnight," he says with a grin.
Jo shakes her head, "Paul, That's crazy talk."
"You are my wife Josephine and I am your husband. As the man in the relationship what I say goes, and as my wife you are obligated to make me happy by having sex with me where ever and when ever I want. And I want to have sex right now in our bed. So you can either come willingly, or I can force you," he says sternly.
"No," Jo states making a stand.
"Okay, forcefully it is," he replies. He grabs a hold of Jo's wrist and she screams.
Thirty minutes later
Jo lays in her bed, staring lifelessly at the pastel white ceiling. She couldn't believe what had just happened, or more so she didn't know why she was surprised. This was the kind of thing that over the years that Jo had come to expect from Paul. She may have screamed out 'stop' and 'no' a dozen times but yet none of that mattered to Paul. All that mattered to him was to get what he so wrongly thought he was entitled too. Now he laid next to her rapidly kissing her neck.
"Come on, baby, kiss me back," he begs.
Given everything that just happened Jo thought that it was wise to follow his directions. Jo leans forward and gives him a kiss before thumping her head back onto her pillow.
"Are you not enjoying this?" He asks. His voice indicated that he was slightly offended.
"Just tired, that's all," she replies.
"You're always tired lately. You ought to get that looked at because I can't have you getting me sick. I'm a surgeon, I save lives. Go and see the doctor tomorrow and get him to write up a little report of your visit," he orders.
"Sure thing honey," Jo replies faintly
