Chapter 14: Base Line

Sean rushed down the hallway and turned into the break room following the smell of some aromatic, freshly brewed coffee. He should've been getting ready for surgery, but a couple of minutes would certainly not change much.

"Linda's trying out some new brand," Liz explained when she saw that Sean also arrived into the room armed with his cup, just like she did a few minutes earlier.

"Given the smell, it should be better than what we normally use," Sean poured himself a cup, then looked into the refrigerator for some milk. That was how he wasn't the first noticing his partner stepping in.

"Christian! What are you doing here?" Liz jumped up and went to hug him.

"Came to surprise you."

"Yeah, surprise. Now go home," Sean rolled his eyes, "why aren't you in bed?"

Because if I don't make myself busy with work and pronounce myself fit immediately, my doctor would send me to some tests I don't want performed, Christian thought, but obviously didn't say. "Sean, not you too! I get enough of that from Kimber."

"Yeah, I get the visual," Liz commented.

Christian walked over to the books, "so, you have a nice little tit job today. Poor Sean, he has to work on tits. And a craniofacial and a chest reconstruction too! That's quite a lot. Hm, tit job. Suiting as a warm up for me don't you think? You can start on the craniofacial right away, he's here too getting prepped, not?"

Sean started at him, "you expect me to let you operate? You were still in hospital last week!"

"Come on Sean," Liz gave her opinion, "by the bed acrobatics he surely does at home, cause well, he said he was bored and I'm not sure what I saw the two of them doing when I went to visit him last time at the hospital, he should be able to perform a breast enlargement. I'll be there too and I'll call you if there's a problem."

"Fine. But then you'll go home," Sean agreed turning towards the other surgeon, internally happy that Christian showed up.

"Deal. If I can do it, tomorrow I can get more, right?"

"Since when are you so eager to work?"

"Since I have to provide for my family."

"What do you mean family?"

"Exactly that Sean, exactly that. She's only in the second month, but yeah, I'm gonna be a real daddy this time."
