Hey! So I'm not really keen on this chapter but it's sort of filler until I do a longer chapter based around both Elliot's parents' arrival and Izzie's birthday. I keep adding to it but I'm starting a fresh chapter tomorrow. Hope you enjoy anyway!
"So man, where are we going tonight?" I asked Turk as we got into the cab.
Turk chuckled, "You just follow me dude."
"I'm glad we get to hang out again you know Turk."
"Me too."
Turk and I drove off into the city center to get our 'bros night' under way...
Back at Turk and Carla's apartment, the girls were being kept busy.
"Aunt Ellie look at this!" Izzie climbed onto Elliot's lap and showed her the picture she had drawn.
"Wow Izzie! That looks great!"
"Look it's me and you, Uncle JD, Mommy, Daddy and Gabe!"
"I can see that!" Elliot chuckled, "What are we doing?"
Izzie seemed to mull this over for a second before climbing back off Elliot's lap and rushing off to her bedroom shouting, "We're at the park!"
Carla sat down next to Elliot holding Gabriel in her arms. "You do realise you're basically my daughter's hero?"
Elliot just laughed and the two women turned their attention to Gabriel who was gnawing at a lego cube.
"So how are things between you and Turk at the moment?"
"Oh fine, we're always trying to find the time to do stuff as a couple but it's not easy with two kids, you know?"
"Yeah, well if you ever want a night together JD and I would be happy to babysit."
Carla took the lego cube out of her son's mouth then smiled at her friend, "Thanks Elliot, that'd be great."
Back across town, Turk and I had bumped into someone we'd rather not have bumped in to.
"Hey idiot."
"Janitor? What are you doing here?"
"Lady and I got in a fight; apparently it's inappropriate to throw stuffed animals at old people."
Turk and I exchanged glances, "It is inappropriate to do that."
"No it's not! Especially if the old guy calls you an idiot, I am notan idiot!"
"Clearly..." Turk mumbled sarcastically under his breath.
We turned to walk away from what promised to end up being an awkward situation before The Janitor spoke.
"Do you fellas wanna join me?"
And so, not wanting to be rude, Turk and I accepted The Janitor's offer and we sat down with him at the bar.
"So are you looking forward to the wedding?" Carla asked Elliot as she played with Gabriel.
Elliot looked up at her friend and nodded enthusiastically as she bounced Gabe on her lap.
"Part of me is always concerned that JD will run away or suddenly decide that he doesn't love me anymore but that's a risk I'm willing to take unfortunately. Plus, I trust him; I doubt he'd do that."
"Yeah, I mean you guys have been together for a couple of years now and he loves you Elliot. I think you have nothing to worry about."
"Thanks Carla. Here, take Gabe, I'm going to call JD and see how they're doing."
After what seemed like an hour long, and very one-sided, discussion about stuffed animal collections, I was relieved nay thrilled to receive a phone call.
"Sorry guys I have to get this, it's Elliot." I said, avoiding Turk's look of despair at being left temporarily alone with The Janitor.
"Hi sweetie, are you having a good time?"
"Sort of…we bumped into The Janitor so we've had to sit and listen to him talk all night. I kind of feel like Turk and I have had no time to ourselves."
"Oh honey I'm sorry, I'm sure you guys can do this again sometime soon though?"
"Yeah, we will. Anyway I think I'm going to call it a night soon before I actually kill myself at one of The Janitor's boring stories about his life."
Elliot laughed, "Okay, well, be nice and I'll see you in a little while."
The call clicked off and I went back to the table where The Janitor was still talking to an extremely tired out Turk...
"So how are they doing?"
"Eh, not great, they bumped into The Janitor so he's kind of ruined their night together."
"Oh, that sucks." Carla muttered, "Okay I'm going to put Gabriel and Izzie to bed I won't be long." She stood up, with Gabriel in her arms, and made her way towards the nursery…
Having finally shaken off The Janitor, Turk and I were feeling too tired to continue on with our night so we split a cab back to his apartment where we could find Elliot and Carla.
The door to Turk and Carla's apartment opened quietly as Turk and I knew that Izzie and Gabe would be in bed. As we walked in the girls turned their heads in our direction and I smiled at Elliot who was looking lovingly over at me.
"Hey guys, did you have a nice night?" Carla stood up to greet her husband.
"Yeah it was alright." Turk and I glanced at each other as I sat down beside Elliot.
"Hey." She smiled up at me as I kissed the top of her head affectionately. She cuddled into me as everyone's attention turned to the movie which had been playing in the background…
