PROMPT: Aubrey is a doctor, Stacie and Chloe are her colleagues. One day, her girlfriend Beca involved in a car accident and brought to their hospital.
"So i was thinking we could meet up this weekend since we all have Saturday off" Chloe asked with a bright smile.
"Sigh"
"That sounds great. We could all got to that Thai restaurant, what's it called?" Stacie replied with an excited grin.
"Sigh"
"I can't remember, Aubrey?" Chloe asks turning to her blonde friend.
"Sigh"
"Oh for god sakes, What's wrong?" Stacie asks exasperatedly drawing the attention of the entire staff canteen who she waves off distractedly.
"Nothings wrong" Aubrey says before sighing again and refreshing the messages on her phone with a pout.
Chloe and Stacie simultaneously roll there eyes at the obvious lie. "If nothings wrong why have you been sighing for the past ten minutes and looking at your phone as if it kicked your puppy?" Stacie rants crossing her arms and staring the blonde down.
"Its stupid, its just today's Beca and i's anniversary" Aubrey mumbled as she glanced at her phone again. Chloe and Stacie made eye contact both clearly figuring out what was upsetting their friend.
"Has Beca not mentioned anything?" Chloe asked carefully, all three of them were aware that Beca was not good with dates. She had somehow managed to forget her birthday last year causing Jesse having to leave her surprise party earlier with a black eye. Beca had a mean right hook.
"She hasn't texted me, i had to leave before she woke up" Aubrey stated forlornly. Stacie furrowed her brow, being Beca's best friend she knew that the brunette had been planning for their anniversary for months, she wouldn't just forget.
"She's probably waiting until she can see you face to face" Stacie reassured the blonde before her attention was diverted to the pager beeping on her belt. "I've got to go guys, Car accident" she says waving goodbye to her friends as she checks her pager. Stacie, being three hears younger than the other two was still a junior doctor and was infinitely more busy than them.
"Look Aubrey, i'm sure she hasn't forgotten. She's probably still asleep or something, you know how long she can sleep for" Chloe smiles as they finish their lunch.
"Yeah, you're probably right" Aubrey smiles as they both stand up to leave the canteen.
The sky was darkening as the clock ticked its way past five o'clock and Aubrey still hadn't received a text. She had become impatient at two and texted Beca good morning only to receive no reply, Beca always texted back.
Just as she was removing her scrubs in the locker room and preparing to go home and find Beca still sprawled on the couch after mixing all night, Stacie sprinted into the room gasping for air.
"You really need to start doing cardio" Aubrey noted with a smirk as Stacie doubled over trying to catch her breath.
"Okay, don't freak out" Stacie starts as soon as she catches her breath holding her hands out defensively. One pale blonde eyebrow raised to a dangerous level. "You know that car crash i was called to earlier" Stacie hedges carefully, wincing as Aubrey's eyes widen.
"It was Bec-" Aubrey doesn't wait to hear an answer as she pushes past Stacie towards the trauma ward. Shoving open the doors she glances around the room seeing no sign of Beca she begins to think the worst. Tears rise to her eyes as she feels herself start to heave.
"Okay, relax. Don't go throwing up everywhere" Stacie comes up behind her rubbing her on the back to settle her stomach "As i was going to say, Beca was in a car crash but she's fine. Fractured Scapula and broken Wrist as well as a slight concussion, but she's one hundred percent fine." Stacie says in a calming voice.
"Where is she?" Aubrey asks urgently in a slightly less panicked voice, standing up straight.
"Fourth floor, B ward. She's sleeping though, they had to keep her conscious for a few hours because of the concussion but she konked out as soon as she could" Stacie informed her.
"A few hours?! Why didn't you come get me sooner?" Aubrey asks as she walks quickly towards the elevator.
"She wouldn't let me leave. For someone who claims to be such a badass she's shit scared of hospitals" Stacie chuckles as she presses the button leading them up to the fourth floor.
"Yeah, its why she never comes inside when she visits on lunch breaks" Aubrey sighed feeling immensely guilty that Beca had to go through that ordeal without her.
"It's not your fault Bree, you didn't know" Stacie comforts "Oh by the way she's been put on strong opiodes for her wrist so she might be a bit out of it when she wakes up" Stacie says with a sly grin, she was kind of hoping Beca would react strongly to them. People were fucking hilarious when high.
Aubrey nods as a ding sound through the elevator indicating they'd reached the fourth floor. Aubrey rushes through the corridor to ward B where she finds Beca sitting in the corner staring dreamily out of the window looking dwarfed by the hospital bed.
"Looks like she woke up" Stacie whispered laughing slightly at the spaced out look on Beca's face.
Aubrey quickly rushes over to the side of Beca's bed ignoring Stacie's remark. "Hey baby" she mutters grabbing the attention of Beca's slightly unfocused eyes and reaching out to take the hand that wasn't in a cast.
"Your hair is yellow like Goldilocks" Beca says with a lazy smile reaching up to twirl Aubrey's hair around her finger with her good hand. "I think this bed is just right for you" she adds with a sleazy smile and what looks like an attempt at a wink, Aubrey can't tell for sure.
"Okay, smooth-talker" Aubrey smiles fondly pulling Beca's hand down from her head and clasping it between hers.
Stacie chuckles from the other side of the bed where she had drawn up a chair. "This is priceless, i have to text Chloe" she guffaws as she proceeds to type speedily on her phone. "Hey, Beca look at me" she calls to the girl who turns her head slowly and fixes her eyes on the brunette. Stacie snaps a picture quickly before returning to texting. Beca continues to stare until Aubrey gently turns her head back towards her.
"I think she just took a picture of me" Beca whispers, eyeing Stacie from the corner of her eye worriedly. "I always knew i'd have a stalker when i became famous" she hisses looking slightly scared.
"That's not a stalker babe, that's Stacie your best friend" Aubrey explains slowly with an amused smile. "Oh yeah" Beca exclaims "Hi Stacie" she says trying to wave her right hand not realising she has a cast on.
Aubrey watches as Beca looks down and prods at the bright pink cast going from her wrist to elbow. "Bree i think a slug ate my arm" she whines, trying to shake the cast off of her arm.
"Stop it Becs" Aubrey chides gently placing the arm back in Beca's lap "That's not a slug, its a cast" she struggles to contain her laughter as Beca's expression changed into one of shock at this apparently mind-blowing revelation.
"Why am i in a cast? Did i die? Are you an angel?" Beca spouts of looking not as worried as you would expect for someone who thought they were dead.
"No Becs you were in a car crash. Don't you remember?" Aubrey asked scanning Beca's dazed eyes for a sign of recognition.
"The last thing i remember is going to bed yesterday and your sexy ass pulling out that strap on-" Beca's sentence was rapidly cut off by a wildly blushing Aubrey slapping a hand over her mouth.
"A strap on, eh?" Stacie inquires with a sly grin, taking in Aubrey's mortified expression. Beca nods her head unable to talk. "Well, who would have though Beca Mitchell was a bottom" she smirks pulling out her phone.
"Who are you texting!" Aubrey shrieks panicked reaching for Stacie's phone over Beca. "Uh uh" Stacie tuts before pressing send triumphantly "Just the Bella's group chat" she says nonchalantly.
"Stacie, you cannot just go around sharing private information like that from a source that is clearly under the influence-" Aubrey begins to rant but is cut off by a yell from the doors of the ward.
"Aubrey uses a strap on!?" Chloe squeals excitedly from the door with her phone in hand.
"Ugh" Aubrey groans covering her face with her hands and dropping her head on the bed next to Beca.
"I knew you took my advice, i always said you guys should do more experimenting" Chloe notes with a proud smile which is returned by Beca "Thank You. Its nothing really, Aubrey bought everything. We're not going to be able to use the handcuffs anymore though" she says sadly gesturing to her arm in the cast.
"Beca, you need to stop talking Sweetie" Aubrey orders her frustration barely contained in her voice.
"How about you make me" Beca teases pursing her lips and scrunching her eyes closed. After a moment she opens one eye to peek at Aubrey before pointing to her lips.
Aubrey chuckles giving her wife a quick peck on the lips before pushing her back onto the bed "Okay, Casanova. Tone it down" she says with an amused smile.
"Aww, this is so cute" Chloe cooed from where she had pulled up a chair next to Stacie who was filming Beca on her phone.
"Don't you have work to do?" Aubrey asks narrowing her eyes at Chloe who shrugged "Just got off my shift"
There was a brief lapse of silence as they all turned to look towards Beca.
"Nothing's fine I'm torn, I'm all out of faith. This is how i feel, I'm cold and i am shamed, lying naked on the floor" she sang quietly under her breath nodding her head to the imaginary beat before giggling "Naked" she repeats looking at Aubrey and waggling her eyebrows.
"I saw Chloe naked once" she then stated without context before going back to singing.
"There's nothing where you used to lie, my inspiration has run dry"
"What do you mean 'you've seen Chloe naked'?" Aubrey ground out glaring at the cringing redhead across the bed.
"Well-" Beca begins only to be interrupted by Chloe's slightly panicked voice "It's not what you think" she said quickly, seeing the dramatic change in Aubrey's facial expression.
"She hijacked my shower freshman year and made me sing her lady jam with her" Beca recalled.
"Oh" Aubrey said deflating slightly. She had started dating Beca during the brunettes second year whilst Aubrey was still in Bardens medical school.
"Don't worry baby, she ain't got nothing on you" Beca reassured with a wicked look, unashamedly checking out her wife.
Aubrey smiles slightly, patting Beca's hand "Thanks Becs" she says softly before slumping down into her chair. "This is not how i wanted to spend our anniversary" she muttered, sad that she wasn't going to be able to celebrate at home with Beca.
"Oh!" Beca shouts out loudly drawing a shush from a nurse that was walking by "Where's my bag!" she asks urgently looking around the room and moving to stand only to be pushed back down by Aubrey.
"Its here Beca, i got it from the Ambulance crew" Stacie says calmingly pulling Beca's shoulder bag up from the floor next to her and handing it to the girl.
"Yes!" Beca cries out doing what looks like a fist pump but it was difficult to tell with her cast. They all watch as she pulls put bouquet of crumpled flowers causing her face to fall. "They got squished" she says sadly her bottom lip trembling as she hands them to Aubrey.
"Never mind" she shrugged causing the other inhabitants of the room to almost get whiplash from her sudden change of mood.
"I made you these" Beca says shyly pulling out a what looked like an embezzled jewellery box.
Aubrey smiled thankfully, carefully taking the box and opening it slowly. Inside she found what must have been at least fifty separate pieces of coloured paper. Opening one she read 'The way you laugh'. "They're all things i love about you" Beca says with a loving smile.
"Wow, who knew Beca Mitchell was such a cheeseball" Stacie teases as Chloe cooed at them.
"My cheeseball" Aubrey laughed pulling her wife in for a sweet kiss.
This is probably a lot less angsty than the prompt was going for... sorry :)
