Eliiott's POV :
It had been two days since Dr. Cox suspension, the board wanted to give him more time off but Jordan threatened them so they backed down. I wasn't really excited for his return since he was probably just going to try to kill Jerry again and then go back home.
I couldn't really blame him, from what I've heard of Perry's father his dad liked to beat him and his sister senseless while his mother just looked on like nothing was wrong.
Although while Dr. Cox was gone his father Jerry soon became a favorite of the staff, he was nice and thanked people for taking care of him.
Being a doctor you don't get much appreciation so sometimes it feels good to get a simple thank you.
Carla was the first to ask Jerry about his past, he said that the whole reason he wanted Perry as a doctor was because he was a changed man and he wanted to reunite with his son.
I think Perry should reunite with him, I think he really did change.
(Flashback)
I wasn't there when Dr. Cox went berserk , I was at home enjoying a long needed bubble bath when my phone rang. It was Carla, she sounded worried on the phone so I immediately asked what was wrong. She then told me what I missed while I was relaxing and I was shocked to my core.
"I can't believe Dr. Cox would do something like that"
"Well…."
"What else Carla?"
"The patient was his father"
"Ooh.."
(Flashback ends)
When I came back the next day it was a little weird without Dr. Cox. I guess I never realized it but he sort of keeps this place together, in a weird dysfunctional way.
I meet Jerry a few hours into my shift; he needed his IV bag replaced. I took a deep breath before walking in, forced a smile on my face and went in.
"Hello Mr. Cox"
"Names Santos, not Cox"
"Ooh I'm sorry do I have the wrong room" I let out a nervous laugh that sounded like I had a dead frog in my mouth.
"Umm.. No I'm Jerry It's just... I took my wife's last name"
"Ooh coolieo, I had a friend who did that once, his partner died in a skiing accident, poor Rico"
"Okay?"
"Ooh sorry"
It only took a few minuets to change the bag and before I left I gave a small smile.
"Thank you Dr. Reid"
" uum your welcome?"
Wow it's been so long since anyone's ever thanked me for doing my job.. It feels nice.
I walked over to Carla who was sitting by the computer.
"Man he is so nice, are you sure he's Dr. Cox's dad?"
"That's what JD said"
"But JD could be wrong"
"Dr. Cox told him, Jd even asked Jerry and he said yeah"
"Wow, so Dr. Cox will be here tomorrow?"
"Day after"
"Okay well I got a lot of patients so I better get going"
"See you later"
( 2nd day)
Yesterday was pretty boring, all the patients really ever needed was a new Iv bag, I was so bored I barley called a nurse to do it and just did It myself.
Today's a new day, maybe something exciting will happen?
My shift started at 7am and ended at 12 at night so I wasn't to excited to start the day. I got out of bed, got dressed, did my makeup and went over to Sacred Heart.
(12:01)
Oh my God I'm finally out of here, I'm so tired I could just fall asleep on the floor right now, no Elliott no you can make it to your house, you can make it."
I'm not to sure how I got home. My thoughts were covered in a sleepy daze; all I could think about was sleep and my nice warm bed. Nothing really happened today I mainly worked on paperwork which is probably why I was so sleepy. Everyone wanted to go the bar and relax but I couldn't make it, I told Carla I would go another day and went home.
Dr. Cox POV:
These past two days have been good. Extremely good, me and Jordan seem to have grown close and as much as I hate to admit it. I'm happy. So happy in fact that I re-hee-aly do not want to go to work tomorrow. I can't believe I'm saying this but all I want to do is spend my time with the she-devil.
As if on cue she stirs awake in my arms, dear God she looks so beautiful.
I plant my lips on hers and feel as if all my problems have left me, its like she became the perfect brand of scotch for me and all I want to do is get drunk off those precious lips of hers.
"What was that for?"
"You're beautiful"
"Are you okay per-per?"
"Ha-ha yeah, what I can't tell you your beautiful?"
" uum no because then that would mean you actually gave me a compliment, and we both know you don't do well with those"
"So what I cant compliment my wife anymore, or do you just like it when I really say how you look. For example I don't know if you can handle anymore work on your face because you will then in fact be made from china, and yeah I know you're really the spawn from Satan himself but china is cutting it pretty close seeing as how they are both pretty much down there, if you know what I mean"
"There we go, I thought you went soft for a moment, and I think you mean ex-wife not wife"
I pull her close to me and bring her lips to mine, we stay like that for what seems like forever then her hand some how finds its way to my boxers and we all know how that works out.
When were finished I pull my boxers back on and get up.
"I'm going to get some scotch, want anything?"
"Martini"
"Sure"
Before I go and make the drinks I go and check on Jack, he is sleeping away the word right now and I can't help but stare at this beautiful boy of mine.
I'm a dad.
I don't care if Jack is already pretty big but I still can't believe I'm a father. Me Percival Ulysses Cox is a dad. What a crazy world we live in. I walk over to him and plant a kiss on his forehead, and then I dash out as quietly as possible so I don't wake the boy.
After making our drinks I walk back to the bedroom, Jordan turned on the TV and is watching the news.
"Here's your drink"
"Thanks Per-Per"
"Don't mention it"
We sit there for a while, just enjoying each others company, I have my arm wrapped around her shoulder and my other hand is in hers.
"Did you check on Jack?"
"Yeah"
"How is he?"
"Still sleeping"
"Good"
He must have sensed we were happy because he started crying.
"I'll get him" Jordan got up, handed me her martini and went to go check on Jack.
Time to start the day I downed the rest of my scotch and her martini and went to the kitchen to start breakfast.
