"Mummy! Wake up! Mummy! Wake up!" Sleep hazed emerald colored eyes slowly fluttered open with a groan, she grunted and pulled the comfortable blanket over her still sleepy body.
"Mum! Wake up!" The shaking continued and she had no other choice but to rouse herself from her sleep. With another groan she threw her blanket from her body and stared at the little boy of 10 years old with an unimpressed look on her face.
"Theodore Edward what is it? Don't you know what time it is?" she ground out, her eyes still dropping slightly as her body screamed for her to extra sleep. The boy now named Theodore (it's Teddy!) Edward pouted as he grabbed her mother's arm and pulled. "Mum! It's 9 am already. You're going to be late for work!" This seemed to snap her out from her sleep haze and she quickly bolted out from her bed, inwardly groaning from being separated from her beloved bed.
"Why didn't you wake me?" she quickly grabbed her towel and barreled to her adjoined bathroom to clear herself out.
Teddy rolled his eyes and yelled. "I've been trying for the last hour! You sleep like a log mom!"
She shook her head and ignored her son's voice and focused back in cleaning herself up for the day. 28 year old Lianthe Carmina Evans (formerly Potter) stared at her haggard reflection from her bathroom's mirror. Her eyes now bright and alert stared right back at her. She took note of the dark circles around her eyes and frowned. She hasn't been sleeping quite well the last couple of days due to work and mentally reminded herself to talk to her boss about that much needed time off. With a shake of her head, she turned away from her reflection and continued with her morning absolutions.
"Busy day at work again dear?" Lianthe sighed as she lowered herself into one of the stools of the breakfast island in the middle of the kitchen. She turned to the salt and peppered haired elderly woman who welcomed her gaze with a steaming hot cup of tea.
"Quite. Remind me again why I pursued this job again?" Lianthe sipped her tea and let out a low moan in pleasure at the heavenly taste of Andy's home brewed tea.
"Well. I'm not the one with the 'saving people thing' am I now dear flower?" Lianthe snorted at her tea. Trust Andromeda Tonks to not pull any punches when it comes to her. "Right. Well thanks for the reminder. Now I'm inspired to do a good job at work today." She caught sight of a now blue haired Teddy padding towards the stool right next to her. She smiled when he leaned closer to plant a kiss on her cheek. She raised a questioning brow at the boy, her eyes gleaming in amusement.
"What? You bailed on me earlier Mum. I wasn't able to give you my tender loving kiss." Teddy huffed, the corner of his lips curling up into a smile. Lianthe chuckled and just ruffled the boy's blue hair. "Well I can't go to work without them can I?" she mused.
Lianthe watched Teddy's adorable pout before he started to eat his breakfast, his hair turning a shade darker at each bite. A small wistful smile graced her lips as she watched her godson turned adopted son eat. Seeing him that big already, 10 years old and still growing made Lianthe's belly warm. Time sure does fly, she can't believe that it's already been 10 years since then. And she had come a long day since they arrived in the United States. It hadn't been an easy transition—especially for her but she pulled through. They pulled through.
"What time will the two of you be leaving for London?" Lianthe asked, tipping her cuppa finishing her tea and gently sat in down on the table.
"After lunch, and we'll go." Andy replied, her dark eyes meeting her bright ones. Lianthe smiled in understanding. It's been 10 years since she last stepped on any British soil since her banishment and had not had any thought on returning any time soon. But that doesn't mean that Andy and Teddy can't. With Teddy being born a magical, he was bound to attend Hogwarts one way or another. His parents would have wanted him to attend the school. Who was she to deny him that? And they still have friends over the pond. The rest of the Weasley's are still around as well as Neville and Luna. She has no qualms about Teddy traveling to and fro form Princeton and London. Lianthe liked to think that it would broaden Teddy's world. And if he decides he doesn't want to go to Hogwarts, there's always Ilvermory. If Lianthe would have her ways, she would rather have Teddy at Ilvermory then Hogwarts. But that's just her, Teddy will have the final decision about his education.
"I see. Well, say hi to everyone for me then."
"You could always come with us Mum." Teddy quipped. Lianthe sighed and shook her head in reply. "You know I can't do that Teddy."
"You can meet with Uncle George, Neville and Aunt Luna outside Britain you know that right?" Teddy reasoned out.
Lianthe didn't reply and just smiled resignedly at the boy. If only it was that easy. "Well how about you try to persuade them to learn how use the computer then? We can do a group chat via skype or something. I can't leave Teddy."
Teddy visibly deflated at that but bounced back with renewed energy. He's been trying to teach those out of date Uncles and Aunt of his the joys of technology and Skype-ing. "I think I'll do just that. Thanks for the idea Mum."
"You're welcome Teddy bear. Now finish up your breakfast and pack your things. And behave for Grammie Andy okay?"
"I will. See you next week then Mum."
…
Princeton, New Jersey is a quaint university town with very low crime rate, (in her opinion). With a couple of universities surrounding the area there are a good number of students and young professional living in there. The weather for most part is great, it's not too hot nor too humid (well it really depends on the season really) and Lianthe had grown fond of this little bustling municipality after living there for almost 10 years. She pulled through her usual parking space at work and locked the doors of her dark red Audi Cabriolet before walking to the building entrance.
"Good Morning Doctor Evans. Saved by the bell I see." The receptionist greeted her with a smile.
"Got up a little late that's all." Lianthe chuckled as she logged in at the time record machine. Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital is one of the biggest non-profit hospitals in the area with a good reputation in the medical community. And for Lianthe it's a very interesting place to work in. There never seemed to be a dull day inside the walls of PPTH.
"Hey is Doctor Evans in yet? I need to talk—oh Lianthe, just in time. Can you step into my office for a bit? I need to talk to you about something." Lianthe blinked, and dutifully followed her boss to her office.
Doctor Lisa Cuddy, MD. PPTH Chief of Hospital smiled as she gestured for her to take a seat in front of her. "Coronel Williams from Fort Dix just called, he was wondering if he could talk to you about something. Something about some practice drills something like that."
Her brows shot up in surprise. It's been a while since Fort Dix contacted her, the last one was when she reported one last time before she was dismissed from service and that was roughly two years ago. Interesting…
"I'll get in touch with them as soon as I can. Thank you for informing me Dr. Cuddy." Lianthe said, raising from her seat assuming that it was the only thing that Cuddy wanted to talked to her about.
"Evans, wait. New York Medical emailed me again." Lianthe sighed. "Same stuff I presume?"
Cuddy snorted. "You bet. They just won't stop." Lianthe smiled at Cuddy's resigned face, it was only mid-morning and the Chief is already stressed out.
"Don't worry that too much Dr. Cuddy. There's no way I'm going. I've grown fond of PPTH so you're stuck with me until you decide to fire me or something." Lianthe grinned at Cuddy before bidding her goodbye.
…
"What do we got here? Now tell me where it hurts." Lianthe smiled graciously at the teary eyed boy cradled on his mother's lap. She watched the little boy as he gripped his right wrist like his life depended on it. She took notice of the purplish tint of the skin around the wrist.
'Possible fracture.'
"He was playing with his bike when he suddenly fell, I think he broke it when he landed on it." The mother replied, the woman looked young around early twenties. She looked utterly worried about the sniffling little boy in her arms. Lianthe hummed as she jotted down on her current patient file.
"There's a significant bruising around the area as well as swelling. I'm going to have to schedule you for an x-ray just to see the extent of the damage." Lianthe explained, she stood up from her stool and rummaged on her drug cabinet. She pulled out a single pill and handed it to the mother. "For the pain. The nurse will assist you for now."
"Thank you Doctor." The mother said, her eyes teary.
"Don't worry about it. Kids are kind of accident-prone so it's normal. He looked like a healthy kid, he'll heal quickly."
The nurse entered and guided the mother and son duo outside leaving Lianthe in the exam room alone. She sighed, before shaking her head good naturedly. Being a doctor is most a tough but rewarding job. Helping those people and save lives is what Lianthe lives for. She really have no idea what pushed her to take Orthopedics as her specialty and it was not a particular event in her second year at Hogwarts that pushed her on.
Lianthe shivered slightly at the memory of her bone less right arm. She unconsciously rubbed the limb as she reminisced. Ten years of living as a muggle was not as bad as the wizards thought it would be. They only needed to get those wands out of their arses to see how left behind her previous world is against the mundane world. Even the wizarding community in the States had already integrated themselves to the innovation of the 21st century. That fact alone had helped their transition immensely. At 18, there wasn't much she can do to integrate herself into her new life as a rendered squib. Seeing that she has no educational background in any muggle school aside from primary school, she couldn't just go around and find a job. Not that she needed the job back then in the first place. She has the money, she have a roof above her head and she's not naïve—not anymore. But mundane studies were a necessity for her then, she had no choice. With hard work, she managed to gain her GED a year later and after the events of 9/11 she decided to enlist. Andy was hell bent on stopping her with that decision but she pushed through. She just couldn't sit back and do nothing, not after years of action since she was 11. Fighting has become a second nature for her since then. She craves the adrenaline and the thrill that it brings with. But this time, she did it for herself and her new home voluntarily, she was not manipulated, forced against her will to fight. She wanted it.
At the end of the day, she's still a soldier. Saving lives is a thing for her. Always.
She was snapped from her inner thoughts when her pager went off.
'Office now. GH'
Lianthe rolled her eyes, grabbed her coat and walked out the exam room. The notified the nurse that she's heading back to her office and have her page for any emergency. Right now she's being summoned.
The 4th floor of PPTH mostly consists of a small satellite pharmacy, some rooms and mostly offices of department heads. And she's headed to one right now.
Lianthe spied the team already seated on the adjoining conference room obviously already brain storming over something. Taking a deep breathe, she composed herself and pushed the door to the room.
"Hey, If it isn't Captain Evans reporting for duty." Lianthe resisted the urge to roll her eyes at Doctor Gregory House, Head of Department of Diagnostics' usual mocking voice.
"Good morning Evans. What brings you here?" Eric Foreman, a tall dark skinned man greeted her. The other two doctors, Robert Chase and Allison Cameron looked at her with a confused look on their faces at House's greeting. Right, they have no idea about her serving. No one besides Cuddy and House knows. It's not like she wants everyone to know.
"I was summoned by the God of Medicine himself." Lianthe replied with a deadpanned expression on her face. Dr. House snorted before erupting into laughter. "Nice. God of Medicine. That's a new one Evans. I like that."
Lianthe smirked, she winked at the gaping faces of the rest of House team as she crossed her arms in front of her and leaned on the glass panel wall.
"So, why am I here exactly? Need I remind you that I'm not a part of your team Dr. House.
"Exactly. But then again you're here. So right new case, new case people." House replied before he clapped his hands and gazed at the white board in front of the team ready to write anything.
"We got a 24 year old male, Caucasian. Muscle spasm, fatigue, joint pain. And it he seemed to break a bone every single month." Foreman's brows were raised as he read the patient file aloud.
Lianthe's ears perked at the symptoms catching her attention. She saw House looking at her with a smug look on his face that she wanted to wipe away. Damn it, she can't walk away now.
"Alright. Possible reasons anyone? I'm not going to waste my brain neurons guessing alone!"
Yep. Today is bound to be interesting.
And cut. Damn I am neck deep with House right now and I can't help it. Next chapter we get a peek on our favorite Neurosurgeon and another time skip. Time skips are necessary to keep the story moving. I want to follow the time period of the canon events are much as I can. So yeh. One more chapter of Lianthe with the crazy folks of PPTH and we're on the Marvel Movie verse then. House would make an appearance somewhere in the story once in a while, but that's it. (I cannot resist. Sue me).
Okay, now please drop a review below and tell me what you think about this chapter. I want to see if you guys are still digging this or not.
Hope to hear from you guys!
Thank you very much and until the next update!
