Chapter 1 : Behind the Curtains
" Oohhkkk... ! Lets search for your all famous uncle/doctor dot !" Mia walked into the hospital parking with the least sense of navigation. She was not very familiar to visiting the hospitals and to add to that she was visiting with a toddler. " He's nice. I like him a lot !" Odette said. " You'll like him too !" The little kid who was now being carried by Mia said. " Well for starters I'm not worried if your uncle likes me or not. I am worried whether your mother will like me or not after this small bump on your head !" Mia said again when they both entered through the automatic door that opened on their arrival. When Mia entered the waiting area it was full of sick and worried people.
There were people sneezing and people coughing and groaning. It felt very unfamiliar to her. She was not used to this scene. Probably because she herself had visited hospitals very very infrequently throughout her life. Was it a good thing ? Actually yes but for Mia who had grown up in a foster home through out her life it was a very different perspective. She wasn't so lucky in that department. No foster would care about their sick child so much to get them a proper hospital care. She had relied on home measures mostly and probably that had became a habit now. " Where to now ?" Mia said to herself as she found herself a little confused. Odette then looked around and pointed towards a particular nurse. " Momma used to go that nurse and ask for uncle deano !" Odette said.
" Well you might be better at adulting than me Dot !" Mia said as she proceeded towards the nurse's station. The nurse was all merry and sunshine just as what Kavya had expected. " Hey ! Good morning ! I am looking for Dr. Dan Winchester !" Mia said searching for some paper in her purse. While she was into her own she could hear some giggle from behind the counter. Mia then looked up and saw the look of surprise on all face. " Did I say anything wrong ?" Mia asked. Then Odette also laughed. " Its Uncle Dean ! Not Dan !" Odette said. " Are you new here ?" The nurse asked. " Yeah ! Actually !" Mia said. She then took a pause and further said, " But how did you guess that ?" Mia asked again. " Anybody around here who doesn't know Dr. Dean Winchester is surely new !" The nurse said. Maybe some handsome hotshot doctor he was. But who was she to care. She was just here for Odette. So Mia regained her focus on the little kid that seemed to be little tired now. " Well I actually wanted to consult him for my niece here ! So how can I get to him ?" Mia asked again.
The nurse's then talked amongst themselves a little bit and then one of them said to Mia, " Well actually Dr. Winchester doesn't take any patient without appointment unless he is posted in the Clinic. But hey don't worry there are many good doctors here that are going to take care of that kid here. Why don't you just fill the form out here and I'll get you settled in with a good doctor !" The nurse said again. But then again Jessica had said to contact Dean if any medical emergency arises. He was her family doctor and apparently Sam's brother. Now even Mia didn't know what should she do. Should she wait for Dr. Dean Winchester. Or should she fill out the form. Maybe if she tells the nurse that Odette was his neice also, things would work out a bit.
" Actually this is Odette Winchester ! If you could just give him a heads up about her !" Mia was saying to the nurse when suddenly she heard Odette scream. " Uncle Deano !" She said looking behind Mia. " Hey sweetheart ! What brings you here !" Mia heard a strong masculine yet a gentle voice coming from behind her. Mia turned around and saw a tall male figure wearing formal clothes. He was wearing a black colored formal pants along with a mint green color button down shirt. It was coupled with a White apron of course. " Its Uncle Deano ! Aunt Mia !" Odette said to her aunt in her ears. " Oh ! Thank God !" Mia exclaimed. " What's wrong ? Dean came near the nurse's station and asked ! As soon as Dr. Winchester was approaching them literally each and every one of nurse or even the janitors were straightening themselves. What the hell was happening to them.
Mia then suddenly looked at the man who was approaching them. Of course this was bound to happen. His personality was like that of Greek God. His hair was Achilles-gold and coiffed to perfection. His eyes had the same startling clarity as a mountain stream and the lineaments of his face were in perfect proportion to each other. " What's the matter ?" He asked in his silk smooth voice. " Doctor ! She was pushing us to call you ! And we were just explaining her that she didn't have any appointments so...!" The nurse said that threw Mia into confusion. She certainly wasn't pushing anybody. And she certainly wasn't so into this guy that she would stoop down to her level ! " WHAT ?" Mia said looking towards her. " Uncle Deano ! She is Mia ! Aunt Mia ! Mommy's best friend just like I have Lucy !" Odette said finally clearing.
Dr. Winchester then looked at Mia and said, " I'm sorry for the misunderstanding !". He then in a strict tone and face looked towards the nurse's station and said, " If any of my family member demands for me then I should be paged immidiately !" He said with an authority in his voice. " Yes Doctor. Sorry !" The nurse said. " Get them settled in any of the exam rooms and have someone page me !" He said. He was about to leave when he again looked back at the nurse and said, " Not everyone's here for my attention Tammy. Guess what Its a real hospital and people apparently do get sick !". Dean said that with an authority and walked away.
Tammy the nurse supposedly, then helped them get to exam room one. She was silent all the way. Not a word spoken by her and nor did Mia seemed interested after her first encounter. Mia entered the exam room. It was kinda dull. The walls were plain light blue in color that had surely seen better days. Other than the exam bed there were 2 chairs for seating arrangement. A photograph that looked ages old was hung up on the wall. Mia placed Odette on the exam table and made her comfortable. " Are you okay sweetheart ?" She asked and a tired Odette just hummed. The nurse then paged Dr. Winchester and asked Mia to wait for him. A wave of nostalgia washed over Mia. This room felt too familiar to her. Way too familiar.
( 10 years ago )
" Can you please not touch me ?" Mia said to the doctor. She said that rudely too. " Sweet pea ! I need to touch it to see if it is any serious stuff !" The Doctor said. " Its not serious ! Its just a bruise !" Mia said. The doctor finally giving in called in for another female doctor that would proceed through the case.
( Present )
Now it dawned upon Mia why the air in here felt so familiar. This room was etched back way too much in her memory. She was so into her own that she didn't realize that someone was talking to her.
" Good morning Miss !" Mia heard and then suddenly looked at the doctor standing infront of her. She then came back to her senses. " I'm sorry ! I just zoned out for a bit !" Mia said and then looked towards Odette. " So what is Odette doing with this young lade here ? Where did you trip today ?" Dr. Winchester asked the small kid in his ' I am talking to a kid voice !'. Mia laughed a little on inside. In a very sweet way Odette looked towards Mia. " Oh ! Actually I'm sorry. I was just walking down the stairs with her in my lap. And I tripped. I just wanted to make sure she was oka..!" Mia said but was suddenly cut by Dean's voice. " Oh ! I thought Odette was the patient !" Dean said now looking at the file and checking the name. " No...No... Odette is the patient. See ! I tripped !..." Mia said and then was again cut by Dean's voice. " Isn't it funny ?" Dean asked again. " What ?" Mia said frustrated. " You tripped ! And Odette is the patient !" Dean said and both Dean and the little kid laughed.
Mia just closed her eyes in frustration and took some deep breathes. " So how are you ? Miss ... ?" Dean asked now in a very soothing, gentleman voice. " Mia Fyrer !" Mia introduced herself. Dean then took a seat near Odette and felt a bump on her head. It was a little red but then moment he had entered the exam room he knew it was nothing to be scared of. " Does it hurt sweetheart ?" Dean asked as he turned Odette head towards another side so that he could clearly see and started palpating it." A little !" Odette said. Dean gave her a sheepish smile and then looked at Mia. " How are you ?" He asked again. " The stairs were a little slippery and I lost my balance a little and I tried but her head bumped on the wall. I know its probably nothing. But just wanted to make sure. You know how it is with kids. Anything could go uphill in no matter of time." Mia said looking a little worried about Odette.
" Is this your new babysitter ?" Dean asked Odette. " Yes. She's Momma friends. She's living with me untill mom and dad are back !" Odette said. " She sure didn't understand my question though !" Dean said to Odette and both of them giggled. " What happened guys ?" Mia asked then. " Unca Deano says you are dumb !" Odette said and Dean immidiately covered Odette's mouth. Mia face again scrunched in disappointment. " Hey ! I didn't say that !" Dean said to Odette.
Dean then got up from his place and with a confident smile looked towards Mia and said, " She is fine ! Nothing to worry !". Mia heaved a sigh of relief. " No concussion and all that stuff ! Right ?" Mia asked again. " No !" Dean said again. " Can I play in the play area for few minutes ?" Odette asked and before even getting any answers from elders she ran away. " Odette !" Mia shouted. " Don't worry ! She knows her way around here ! I'll send a nurse with her !" Dean said. " Thank you Dr. Winchester for taking time for us from your busy schedule." Mia said. " Hey ! She's my niece. Anything for her." Dean said looking towards Mia. She was a beautiful girl afterall. The sunlight from the window directly shown on her face and that literally made her skin sparkle.
Dean was about to leave the room when he looked towards Mia and said, " Nobody ever asks about you ?". Mia was confused at the question. " I'm sorry ! I didn't get you !" Mia said. " The answer to question How are you is I am okay or I am not !" Dean said making Mia realize something. " So either nobody asks you that and hence you don't know the answer or maybe you are in a dire need of a person to whom who can say I am not okay !" Dean said that made Mia silent in her place.
Nobody I repeat Nobody uptill now had read her mind so perfectly. It was long time someone had sat down with her and asked her about her well being. Mia then just looked at Dean or for her Dr. Winchester. The professional man in him had died and perhaps his emerald green eyes showed more concern than Mia had ever seen in her whole life together. Suddenly her phone beeped and she was pulled out of her trance. She tried to come up with some answer but all she could say was some incomplete meaningless sentences. " I...I was...!" Mis was trying to say when Dean said again, " Its okay ! I am known to leave girls speechless ! Just put on some ice for the sprain on your wrist too ! Its going to swell in some time !" Dean said and left the room !
( OFFICE )
" Dr. Dean Winchester " the name on the door read. Dean came and pushed the door inside with a force. He removed his white apron and placed it on the back of his chair. Though a little tired he looked Oh so handsome even in his daily routine clothes. He went near his personal coffee machine and poured himself a strong one. It had been a tiresome shift for him afterall. And he was waiting in to end it now. He was drinking his coffee and roaming around in his office.
Suddenly there was a flutter in his heartbeat. What was the cause he didn't knew. But he was not same as the Dean that had walked inside the exam room. It was nothing new. Odette was an active kid. Her tripping and getting injured had become a reason for her hospital visits every now and then. Most the time it would be Sam or either Jessica that would get her and sometimes like today any of the babysitter. Dean was musing over all this when suddenly his phone rang. Looking at the caller ID he received the call and said, " Hey Sammy! Yeah She's fine !".
" Yeah ! I kinda knew that. Me and Jess just wanted to make sure !" Sam said from the other side. " How did you come to know but ? The babysitters usually don't do that. They cover their mistakes !" Dean said taking a large sip of coffee. " Wellll !" Sam said and took a long pause. " This one didn't ! We are the ones that told her to contact you. She was probably way too much paranoid about Odette !" Sam said. Dean still acted surprise. " When are you going to return by the way ?" Dean asked. " Tommorow afternoon ! You still up for dinner with us right ?" Sam asked. " Yeah ! Yeah ! Count me in." Dean said. And then suddenly through an inside window his eyes fell on the children's play area. And none other than Mia came into his focus.
Mia was standing on her knees and talking to Odette along with a few other kids. Her hair they were straight up as they went down the length they curved a little. They were long and thick and luscious. She was wearing a simple Jeans, mid blue color. And she coupled it with plain green colored full sleeve t shirt. A smile crept on Dean's face as he saw her and suddenly his fluttering stopped. And a very desired calmness followed. It was as if every demons he had in his mind had come to rest.
.
" Dean ... Dean ?" He heard from the other side of phone. That made him come back to senses. " Yeah ! Yeah ! I'm here !" Dean replied. " See you tomorrow night then !" Sam said. " Yeah ! Make some pie !" Dean said. " Dude when did I forget about the pie !" Sam said and cut the call. Dean was still looking sideways. Mia had then tied her hair in a messy bun and was now carrying Odette so that they could leave. And Dean just stood there. Looking over both of them. He was so into looking over Mia that only a knock from a nurse made him come to reality.
( Dinner Night )
" How can you be so ridiculous !" Dean said laughing. Dean laughed shifting a little on his position and slapping his hands on Sam's back. " That was the dumbest music I ever heard !" Dean said again taking a sip from his beer. " I had no time on the stage up there !" Sam said. He and Jessica had gone to attend a wedding of one of his friends from law school leaving their daughter Odette here for 3 days.
Jessica, Sam's wife was watching the 2 brothers from her kitchen window. She adored the relation they had. Jessica was actually Dean's friend and he was the one that had introduced her to Sam. Jessica was an interior designer but was Dean's one of the bestest friends. And soon after first meet the love had blossomed between both of them and now here they were young, married , with a daughter and so much in love. Dean and Jessica had a very brother sister relation. She was 2 years younger to Dean and Sam was again 1 years younger to Jess. Jessica had utmost love and concern for Dean. Not just because he was her good friend or he was a very good and respected Doctot. She looked upto him because Dean practically had raised Sam.
Mother a drug addict, Father - an alcoholic : These are not very child friendly situations for a kid to grow up. Dean had gotten Sam's back through thick and thin. And at 18 he had taken Sam's complete custody. Jessica understood what respect Sam had for Dean and at the same time she knew there was not a single person who could care more about Sam than Dean. So she never ever spoke in between them. She respected them as an individuals but also as brothers.
" Guys ! You might wanna have some dinner. You don't wanna get too drunk before its even dark !" Jessica shouted at the two men from verandah. And listening to this both Sam and Dean got up from their places and proceeded towards kitchen.
( Dining Area )
" BTW how did the date with that Hailey girl go ? Are we expecting a second meeting anytime soon ?" Sam asked. Jessica used to try and set up Dean with any of her girlfriends for a date. " Dude... She was lucky that she even gor a first date !" Dean said and all of them laughed. " C'mon where the playboy, the Casanova , the lady charmer Dean go !" Jessica said. Dean almost spit up his water at that. " Find me someone good. Someone mature. I'm sure I'll take her on a next date. Just so done with girls that want to have a free dinner at Jeffreys with me !" Dean said.
" Well that dinner costs 100$ a plate. Maybe you should take your date somewhere else !" Sam said. " As if girls now a days would like to go to a hamburger stall !" Dean said. " You'll find someone. Don't worry !" Jessica said. " Who says I am worrying ? Hell I am ready to wait for the perfect person no matter what !" Dean said as they continued their dinner.
" Odette with any neighbour ?" Dean asked as he cut through his pork. " Yeah ! Kinda ! With Mia actually. She actually volunteered to take her for the night. You know so we could have this adult time for ourselves !" Jessica said. " Oh yeah ! The new babysitter. I forgot about her !" Dean said. " She's not babysitter !" Sam said. " Yeah ! She's my cousin. Sort of !" Jessica said. " Moved from Cali this summer." She said again. " Looks way younger than you though !" Dean said. " So what's up with your small sis in town ?" Dean asked again. " Yeah ! She's a baby adult. 22. Will turn 23 in a few months." Jessica said. " You know ! The nurse's at hospital also mistook her some stupid girl trying to get to me ! I kinda reached their before the matter escalated !" Dean said. " Seriously ?" Sam said. " I didn't know this !" Sam said again looking towards Dean. " It was nothing. If I had known your sister was coming I would have already informed about it to them. But thank god I reached on time !" Dean said.
" Going head over heels for a handsome guy is okay ! But The nurses that work for you take the cake, baker and bakery to their kind. I mean I am definitely sure that Mia was very normal around you. Considering half of the girls loose their balance on the sight of you !" Jessica said. Sam and Dean both laughed at that. " Yeah ! Yeah she was nice !" Dean said taking a sip of his red wine.
" So is she here for a work ?" Dean asked. " Aahhh long story. She just completed her Masters in Experimental Physics. And then some family drama pops out so she has to leave everything and come here. Not a good time for her actually!" Jessica said. " She completed her masters at 23 ?" Dean said as his eyes popped out. She didn't look so genius types, neither she had any attitude of that sorts. Oo...and Odette had said that Dean thinks she's dumb. Great start.
" Things will get better. Don't worry. Besides who here hasn't seen a little family drama !" Dean said finishing his pie. The dinner was over and so was the chatting and the conversations. " You wanna crash tonight ?" Sam asked and Dean politely declined. Jessica came from bedroom and bought something wrapped inside a gift paper to give it to Dean. " What's this ?" Dean asked unwrapping it. " Well you deserve something after being on that medical magazine cover. Nobody gets so much things done at 29. You know that right ?" Sam said. The gift was a watch. Rolex actually. The dial was sparkling black along with a silver metal belt. " Its nice !" Dean said giving a shy smile. " And expensive !" Dean now said looking towards both of them. " We know you would love it and besides who here isn't a rich person guys. We all know we all earn !" Jessica said. " Congratulations brother !" Sam said giving Dean a hug. " Thanks Sammy !" Dean said releasing him from his hug. He then gave a side hug to Jessica. " You know, Call me Sam. Sammy sounds like a 12 year old chubby kid !" Sam said that threw both Jessica and Dean into laughter. " I should probably leave. Give Odette my love !" Dean said moving out of door and Sammy accompanying him to drop him off to his car.
Dean opened the door to his black Mercedes-Benz and said his goodbyes. " Hey Sammy ? What's the name of the new girl ? Jess's cousin ? I forgot !" Dean said. " Mia. Mia Fyrer !" Sam said. " Does she bother you ? I mean ... you wanna meet her again for some sort of... !" Sam was saying something when Dean cut him off. " Stop it Sammy ! I don't date every girl I meet !" Dean said. " Okay ! I just thought maybe... !" Sam said. " Nope...Just was curious on finding someone after you who completed masters at 23 !" Dean said. " Yeah ! Brilliant minds actually ! But you know that probably because of your brother ! Right ?" Sammy said mocking him. " Yeah ! Yeah ! I know !" Dean said. " She's going through a very tough time actually. Probably should leave her alone for the time being at least !" Sam said totally closing the topic. " Yeah ! Lemme know if I could do anything. Family dramas are tough !" Dean said. " Anyways have a good night !" Dean said and took his leave.
( 15 mins later )
Dean reached his apartment and parked his car. But instead of going out he just stayed there and opened facebook on his mobile. It was a long time since he had opened any social media app. And now he was in a confused state of how to use them. But though he managed to search the profiles by the name of Mia Fyrer. And he found what he searched for. But there was only one photo of her on the profile which was probably way too old. Maybe 4-5 years younger. Other than that no update. " Maybe Sammy was right ! You wanna be left alone !" Dean said chucking his mobile phone back in his pocket and proceeding towards his apartment.
( Sam's house )
" What took you so long ?" Jessica asked. " Do you think that maybe...maybe Dean is hooked on Mia ?" Sam asked. " Yeah ! And the thing is he doesn't even know it !" Jessica said. " What did you say to him ?" She asked again. " Nothing ! Just told him that it was not a good time for her." Sam said. " Yeah ! You did the right thing !" Jessica said and both of them kissed and made way towards their bedroom.
