May set the popcorn on her coffee table. She snuck a piece into her mouth before returning to the kitchen. She opened her fridge to get a couple of beers opened. She and Brendan had planned a movie night at her place. They were going to watch The Wedding Singer.
May can't hide that she was excited. She'd never had a movie night with a boyfriend before and the idea sounded comfy, fun and romantic. She sent Gary away for the night and warned him that if he came back, no pizza for him for a long time. She had everything set up: popcorn, beer, chips, and the movie. She even cleaned up the apartment. Problem was, she herself wasn't ready.
She went on her way to the bathroom for a shower but the phone started ringing. She dropped her towel on the sofa and reached for it.
"Hello?"
"Please don't hate me," Brendan begged on the other line.
"Why would I hate you?" she asked him, now sitting on the arm rest.
"I swear I secured someone to take my shift, but this mom came in and refused to take any other doctor unless it was me," he said with a slightly annoyed tone.
She frowned slightly, "What happened?" she asked.
"The kid got kicked in the face, by another kid on the swing set," he said with a sigh.
"Oh, wow. I hope he's alright," she said with concern.
"I'm sorry I can't make it tonight," he apologized.
"No, it's okay," she said, scratching her head. She stared at the whole night she planned with a frown.
"I really was looking forward for tonight," he admitted.
She nodded her head, "I know. Don't worry about it okay."
May dropped the phone on the table. She sighed softly and took a fistful of popcorn and shoving it into her mouth. She swung herself backwards, making her fall to the cushions.
She stared at The Wedding Singer DVD. It's been a long time since she's last scene this film: Adam Sandler as the wedding singer who has given up on love after his fiancée broke their wedding and Drew Barrymore as the hopeless romantic waitress who found love in the wrong man. She really wants to watch this. But she didn't want to watch it alone. It would be sad to watch a rom-com alone. She has a boyfriend, for Arceus's sakes. She could call Gary to come back, but he's probably in a pub by now. There's only one last option. She reached for her phone and dialed a familiar number.
The doorbell rang and May raced to the door.
"Hey," she said, smiling at him. "Thanks for coming."
"Are you kidding?" Drew said with a laugh, "I love The Wedding Singer."
She closed the door behind him and laughed.
"Only because I made you watch it over and over again when we were in high school," she grinned at him cheekily.
"True..." he admitted smirking down at her.
As the movie pushed on, May scooted closer and closer to Drew, until her head was resting on his chest and his arm was wrapped around her. May didn't bother changing anymore. She was still in the outfit she wore all day but she knew Drew wouldn't care about that kind of thing.
"Would you ever write a song for a girl?" she asked him suddenly, grinning at her favorite part of the movie
'I've written a lot of songs about you,' he thought to himself, wanting to admit it so bad.
"Uh, yeah. If she's very special," he answered truthfully.
"How about for me?" she said with a small smile, looking up at him.
He stared at her and looked into her eyes and admired her beauty. "Yeah, definitely. I'd write you a hundred songs," he admitted with a smirk.
She smiled appreciatively at him and turned back to the TV to continue watching.
Drew smiled to himself. He pulled May closer to him as he sipped his beer. This was how it should be...forever.
"Okay," Brendan said with a smile, taking baby Jamie into his arms, up from the weighing scale.
"Baby Jamie's very healthy and everything's going well for her growth," he handed the infant to her mother. "She's gonna start teething soon, so she may get cranky with that. Not to mention a few fevers. But it's all normal," he assured.
He leaned his head back down to Jamie and smiled at her. "Because she's a healthy little princess; yes she is. Yes, she is—" he coed.
Jamie laughed and gurgled on spit. Her small little hands travelled to his cheeks and played with his face.
Brendan laughed and kissed her small knuckles. He stood up straight and turned back to Jamie's mom. "Just keep those drops coming to insure her diet."
She smiled, grateful at her pediatrician. "Thank you so much, Dr. Birch."
"It's no problem. I'll see you in a month. Bye Jamie," he said with a small wave.
The mother waved the baby's hand at Brendan before turning to leave.
"Dr. Birch" his receptionist buzzed in as he sat back down on his desk. "Yes, Jenny?"
"There's a woman here who wants to see you," she said with slight jealousy.
"Send her in..." he said, checking his watch. He didn't have an appointment for another hour.
May stepped into his office through the double sliding doors. "Hi," she greeted smiling at him happily.
Brendan stood up, glancing at her with a small grin.
"Maybelle hi," he walked over to where she was and planted a kiss on her. "What a surprise. I'm sorry about last night. I really am," he said, apologetically.
"No, it's no problem," she assured him, "How's the kid that got hit?"
"A couple of bruises and a twisted ankle, but he's fine," He responded with a laugh, "Listen, I'm glad you're here. I want you to meet someone," he grinned at her, with excitement.
"Okay" she shrugged her shoulders.
He took her hand in his and led her out of the office.
"Call me, when you need me, Jen" he told Jenny on the way out, while she glared at them.
They entered the children's ward and walked past sick kids. It awed May as she watched Brendan greet almost every single one of the kids, even those who weren't his patients. A little girl walked up to Brendan and tugged at his lab coat.
"Hey, cutie" he picked her up. May guessed she was a cancer patient due to her loss of hair.
"Maybelle, this is Kelly, Ben's best friend in the ward. Kelly, this is Maybelle," he introduced them.
"Hi" Kelly greeted her shyly.
"Hey, Kelly." May smiled at her sweetly. "You like Dr. Birch?"
Kelly nodded. "He's been taking care of me."
"I'm sure he is," May giggled, nodding her head.
"Hey, Kel, is Ben in?" Brendan asked her sweetly. Kelly nodded at him. "Will it be alright if we visit him?" She nodded again. Brendan dropped her down to her feet. She took Brendan's hand and led them to a private ward.
"Hey Ben!" Brendan greeted him with a grin, walking over to the little blonde boy with a short hair-cut. "How you feeling today?"
"Can't complain." Ben's voice was really dry and hoarse. May felt like clearing her own throat when she heard him talk.
"Because of the ice cream?" Brendan said with a laugh. Ben nodded at him. "I want you to meet someone," He motioned for May to come over. "Ben, this is Maybelle. Maybelle, this is Ben. The trouble I've told you about," he joked with a wink.
"Hey, Ben!" May said, smiling at him. "Tonsils out, huh?" he nodded at her. "Yeah, I remember when they took out mine. Ice Cream was the only silver lining."
Ben laughed. "Dr. Birch been telling me so much about you," he mentioned.
"He has?" May turned her gaze to Brendan and smirked at him.
"Yeah," Ben croaked out, "He really likes you. And I see why he does."
"Really?" May teased, eyes still set on Brendan.
"Yeah, you're really pretty," he said with a grin.
May smiled at Ben. "Aww, thank you, Ben. You're not bad looking yourself," She scuffed his hair. Her eyes returned to Brendan who was still smiling at her shyly.
"If I close my eyes, will you guys just kiss already? Cause I know you want to," Ben offered with a cheeky grin.
"Ben!" Brendan scolded with a small blush on his cheeks.
"Oh, don't lie Dr. Birch. I know you want to. Just do it!" he covered his eyes with his palms.
Brendan chuckled and he placed a hand over Ben's eyes as well, to secure that he really won't look. He leaned into May until their lips met. May cupped his cheeks and smiled into the kiss.
