"Babe, what're you doing up?" Dean asked, coming into the kitchen.
"Ouch," I hissed as I let my finger get hit once again but part of the sewing machine. I pressed the machine pedal and kept sewing.
"Oh, one of my patients, Anderson, he needs help with his math homework so I told him I'd let him come on rounds with me to help him with his math," I replied, smiling at Dean.
"Well that's nice of your. And what does abusing your hands have to do with this?" Dean teased.
I chuckled, "Well I'm tailoring a pair of scrubs and a lab coat for him so that he can feel like a real doctor, you know? I haven't sewn in a while so I'm pretty rusty at it."
"You're sweet," Dean replied, kissing the top of my head. "Hey, I'm going to start breakfast. Do you need me to take Lucas to school today?"
"I was thinking we could go together this morning. I don't have to be at the hospital until nine and you don't start work till nine so it works out nicely," I replied.
"Sounds great," Dean said back, wrapping his arms around me.
It had only been a couple of weeks since Dean had moved in and everything was going very well. Lucas was definitely okay with the idea and was overly ecstatic that he didn't have to beg me to ask Dean to come over every single night. Dean and I were also happy. Things were good now and I couldn't ask for any more.
Dean and I drove Lucas to school and then Dean dropped me off at the hospital.
"Hey, Anderson. How're you doing this morning?" I asked, coming into his hospital room in a very happy and chipper mood.
"I'm well. How about you Dr. Montgomery?" Anderson asked.
"I'm doing very well. I actually have a surprise for you," I replied.
"Ooh, a surprise?" Anderson asked, curiously sitting up in bed.
"Yeah. This morning I made them. I had a lot of time on my hands and since you're going to be going on rounds with us I decided that you needed some authentic clothing to wear while you go on rounds," I hinted. I then pulled out the very tiny, tailored scrubs and lab coat and placed them on Anderson's hospital bed.
"Thank you so much, Dr. Montgomery!" he exclaimed. His eyes lit up the minute he saw them and he looked so happy at that moment.
"Rounds start at two this afternoon. Just make sure it's okay with Dr. McConnell and your parents before you come on rounds with us," I said.
"Make sure what's okay?" I heard a voice say. I turned around and saw Adam and The Coopers, Anderson's parents, walk into the room.
"Well I made a deal with Anderson the other day. Since he wants to be a doctor, I told him I'd let him come on rounds with me if he did his math homework," I replied. Adam smiled at me and gave me one nod. He seemed very impressed.
"Wow, what do you say to the nice doctor?" Mrs. Cooper asked.
"Thank you, Dr. Montgomery. And I already did, Mom," he groaned.
"He did," I replied, verifying.
"Dr. Montgomery, can we see you outside in the hall?" Mr. Cooper asked.
"Yes, sir," I replied, stepping outside of the room.
"We wanted to say thank you so much for all your hard work with Anderson. He seems well… better. Thank you, you both," Mrs. Cooper started.
"It's not a problem at all. Anderson is a joy to have," Adam said.
"Well thank you. And also, he can go on rounds with you today," Mr. McConnell added.
I smiled, "Great. I think he's really going to love it. I've even added some fraction problems that I've been able to work in to some of the cases just because… you know he's been working on fractions and stuff."
"Have you ever thought about becoming a teacher, Dr. Montgomery?" Mrs. Cooper asked. "I'm sorry. I'm a teacher and it just seems like you'd be a great one."
"Well thank you and no, I haven't, but I practically grew up in this hospital. My mom was a doctor and taught a couple of classes so I understand what it feels like to be cooped up here as a child," I replied, chuckling a bit.
"Ah. Well we should get going. We'll come back later today," Mr. Cooper started.
"Bye," I said.
"Good bye, Dr. Montgomery and Dr. McConnell," Mrs. Cooper said.
Once they were gone Adam gave me a funny look, "What?"
"Nothing. I just knew I could put you on this case," he smiled, smugly.
"No, really, what?" I asked.
Adam shrugged, "You're not like the rest of the, Montgomery. I used to think that all cardio nuts were insane and vicious but you've not only been able to help Anderson medically but you've been able to connect with him on a personal level. You should consider a fellowship in Peds."
"I don't really think I have the time," I answered, honestly.
"I know... just consider it," Adam replied.
~3rd Person POV~
Bradley was enjoying dinner alone. Katie said she'd meet up with him after surgery but he didn't mind the quiet. It gave him time to think.
"Hi," Dean started. Bradley looked up to see Dean Winchester standing above him.
"Hey, what're you doing here?" Bradley asked back.
"I actually came here for some advice," Dean started as he found Bradley at one of the outside tables right out of the cafeteria. Bradley had been sitting alone and Dean had just gone up to him.
"Yeah, what's up?" Bradley asked, seeing Dean. Dean looked around to make sure Jennie wasn't around before pulling something out of his pocket. He opened up the little, black box and showed Bradley what it was. Bradley already knew before Dean could even show him though.
"Oh Dean, I uh, well, I'm flattered but I'm already married... and straight," Bradley joked.
"Haha, very funny," Dean replied, sarcastically. "But really, I'm kind of freaking out."
"She'll love it and yes, you should ask her," Bradley answered.
"You think?" Dean asked, scratching the back of his head anxiously.
"Yes. She's head over heels for you, dude. Just find the right time and-," Bradley started.
"Yeah but what if it's just a really bad time. I don't really know what to say and where and should Lucas be around or should we be alone? I just…" Dean trailed off.
"Look, you'll know when the time is right," Bradley replied.
"The time is right for what?" a voice asked, coming over and putting a chart down onto the counter. Both men turned around in panic and fear that it was Jennie. Luckily, it was Katie. Katie set her tray down right next to Bradley, kissing him on the cheek before sitting down at the table and joining in on the conversation, "What, you guys look like you just saw a ghost... hah, no pun intended, Dean."
Dean glanced around to make sure that no one was looking, yet again and then opened up the tiny black box with the ring inside to show Katie.
"Oh my God!" Katie squealed, loudly.
"Shhhh," both men quieted.
"Oh my God, you're going to ask her to marry you?" Katie exclaimed, trying her hardest to be quiet but she was just too darn excited.
"Yes, that was the original plan," Dean replied, dryly.
"Aw, that's so sweet. Don't be nervous. I mean, you probably can't even help that but you have no need to be nervous. It's not like she'll say no, or anything," Katie replied.
"But what if-," Dean started.
"None of that," Katie said, silencing him by holding up her index finger in a 'quiet' sign.
Dean chuckled, "I'm being ridiculous, aren't I?"
"Yes," both Bradley and Katie said in unison.
"Why are you being ridiculous?" Jennie asked, coming out of the cafeteria and bee-lining for the table that Katie, Bradley, and Dean were sitting at. Dean shoved the small box back into his pocket before she could see anything. Alarmed looks spread across all of their faces as she came over.
"Nothing. Ready to go home babe?" Dean asked, shoving the little box into his pocket and trying to cover up.
"Sure," Jennie replied, looking at the three of them suspiciously.
"Okay, I'll uh, see you two later. Bye," she said, glancing back at Bradley and Katie.
"Bye," the two replied.
Why did they seem so happy? Jennie questioned to herself. Huh. Weird.
