Love has been Reached

The Start of Something

Ben and Miranda had both worked at Grey Sloan Memorial, Ben was a plastic surgeon and Miranda was a general surgeon. They both got glimpses of each other every so often. Miranda pegged him to be an amazing guy who would make a first move but he never did.
"Hello there Dr.Warren." Miranda said as she walked towards the OR board.
"Hello Dr.Bailey." Ben replied while checking his schedule for the day.
"Ok Dr.Warren I'm just going to flat out say it, I like you a lot and it would meant a whole lot if we went out on a date together."
"Well I might take you up on that offer."
"Really." Miranda said with a shocked face.
"Yeah really, I have liked you for a while but I didn't know if you would show any interest in me." said Ben as he finished looking at the board.
"Where would you like to go on our date then."
"How about I pick you up at 8:00 tomorrow night after you send me your address and then we go into the city and find a local restaurant." Ben said with a smirk.
"Ok sure what's your number do I can give you my address."
"It's 206-692-1638."
"Ok I will be texting you soon." Miranda replied.
"Good, see you around Dr.Bailey."
"See you around Dr.Warren."
Ben and Miranda finished their days with many patients but very simple ones.
"Hey guys I'm home." Ben shouted as he came home to his kids doing homework.
"Hey dad." Booker said as he closed his math notebook.
Ben had twins a boy Booker and a girl Aria, they were both 14 years old. Their mom had died during childbirth and Ben has taken care of them ever since.
"Hey dad I was making dinner, we're having spaghetti and garlic bread." Aria said walking through the living room.
"Sounds great honey." Ben said as he kissed her on the cheek.
Ben lived in a huge mansion sort of in the hills of Seattle and had a good amount of money, his dad created one of the most popular restaurants in the U.S. One thing is though Ben never tells anyone he is wealthy until they come around.
"So how was work dad." Aria asked as she stirred the pot of spaghetti sauce.
"It was good and I have a date tomorrow so you two will be at your grandparents tomorrow night." Ben said to Aria with his eyebrows raised.
"Well let's just hope this one isn't as crazy as you last girlfriend." Booker said trying to taste the sauce.
"True that and get your nasty fingers out of the sauce idiot." Aria said swathing his hand.
"Don't tell me what to do stupid." Booker fired back.
"Watch don't make me send you to your rooms." Ben said as he pointed at them.
The three of them sat and ate dinner together and conversed about their days and other stuff that was off topic.
"So who is this woman." Aria asked as she took a bite of her bread.
"She is a general surgeon at the hospital but I don't really know anything else about her, that's why we're going on a date." Ben answered.
"You think she'll be our new step mommy." Booker said with a laugh.
"I wouldn't go to far as to say that, I just want to see how this date goes." Ben said.
They finished dinner and started to clean and put away the dishes.
"Hey dad I'm going to go outside to the court and play some hoops." Booker said as he put up the last plate.
"Ok make sure you work on your inside layup for your tournament this weekend." Ben winked.
"Will do."
"Dad I have a volleyball tournament this weekend so how are you going to get Booker and me to our games." Aria said while she looked around.
"Is it ok if your grandma takes you to it since I missed your brothers last basketball tournament."
"Yeah as long as you're at the next one."
"You bet bu in the meantime, go take a shower and get ready for bed."
"Sure, goodnight dad." Aria said as she kissed him on the cheek.
"Goodnight sweetie love you." Ben replied back as he yawned.
Ben made his way upstairs to see if Booker had come in from being outside and he had, Ben walked in to say goodnight.
"Goodnight Booker."
"Goodnight dad."
Ben walked to his room to take a shower and put some pajama pants on and a tank top, he settled down in his bed and fell asleep.
"Dad wake up, the house alarm is going off." Aria said as shook Ben from his sleep.
"Oh damn, why the hell is it going off anyways." Ben's asked rubbing his eyes.
"I think Gloria was trying to get in but accidentally set it off."
Gloria was their housekeeper, she helped out a lot around the house and even helped Ben with the kids. Ben and Aria heard the alarm go off.
"Finally anyways today is your date with that other surgeon." Aria said as she followed Ben downstairs.
"Yeah it is but I don't want you making a big deal about it, it's just a date."
"Whatever, just when you get home give me the details." Aria laughed as she nudged her dad.
"Anything to make you happy sweetie." Ben winked.
"Good morning Gloria." Ben waved.
"Good morning Mr.Warren and sorry about the alarm I accidentally put in the wrong code." Gloria replied as she started cleaning the tables.
"No worries and how many times do I have to tell you that you can call me Ben."
"Sorry sir."
Ben wandered to the kitchen to cook breakfast for him and the kids. He laid out some bacon, sausage, eggs, and biscuits.
"Aria can you go wake up your brother."
"Sure thing dad."
Ben had put the bacon in the frying pan when he heard his phone get a text. The text read "Hey Ben it's Miranda, here is my address can't wait to see you tonight." Ben was excited about tonight as well and glad he had the day off.
"Good morning Booker, you didn't here the alarm going off." Ben asked while cracking eggs.
"No sir, I was sound asleep." Booker replies as he grabbed some apple juice out of the fridge.
"So the plan for today is that I'm going to drop you guys off at school, then your grandma is going to pick you up, then after my date is over I'll swing by to pick you guys up."
"Sounds good but can we take the Range Rover today." Aria asked while helping Ben out with breakfast.
"Sure I have some errands I have to run today anyways."
Ben finished cooking breakfast and gave both the kids a plate so they could fix them some food.
"You guys eat up and go get ready, I'm going to take a jog and will be back in about thirty minutes." Ben said as he grabbed his earbuds.
"Ok dad see you in a bit." Booker said taking a bite of eggs.
Ben jogged along the road and over a couple bridges to see the sunrise and on his way back it started to rain so he tried to run home as fast as he could.
"How was your run dad." Aria asked as she grabbed her book bag.
"It was ok, it started raining on the way back so let me go change and then we can go."
Ben trotted up the steps to put on some sweatpants and a hoodies so he would stay dry, once he was dressed he grebes the car keys and out the door they all went.
"Ok guys we're here, I'll see you later tonight." Ben said as he unlocked the doors.
"Ok bye love you." the twins said simultaneously.
"Love you guys to."
And with that Ben dropped the off the kids and was headed to do some errands.
