It was the next week and Riley, Xerxes, and the rest of the kids were back in Washington DC. Riley was hating the fact of being home most of the time while Xerxes worked at his new job.

One that he didn't have to work and it made her feel like she was a wife waiting for her husband to come back from war or some shit. Recently her pictures from the Vouge shoot had come out and they blew up.

Her work phone was blowing up and everyone were asking for more pictures, interviews, and etc. Riley was able to tell Cameron to try to take care of them.

She didn't want to tell the media that she was pregnant cause she didn't want people asking her more questions and plus she don't want anyone in her business.

Xerxes was now at MedStar Washington Hospital Center walking through the halls for his next patient. His headache was back, not as bad but enough to make him stop to rub his temples before he knocked on the patient's door, walking in.

"Hello Mr. Smith, I'm Doctor Kohler. You came in because of a bite on your hand, which led to numbest and a fever. Am I correct?" Xerxes asked reading off the table, the going over to the sink, washing his hands, then putting on gloves.

"You look a little too young to be a doctor," Mr Smith said as he stared at Xerxes. "I am but I ensure I graduated at top of my class. You are in good hands, Mr Smith. Now that bite."

"Oh Yes. I went to sleep on my couch and woke up to my hand big as fu—sorry, I mean I woke up to my hand huge and not normal." The 25 year old man said and Xerxes nodded, sitting down on the stool in front of the man.

"Let me take a look." Xerxes said and the man gave Xerxes his hand. 'Shit.' Xerxes thought as he felt the area of the bite.

"When did this happen?"

"Between last night and this morning, I really don't know."

"Ok so this is what we are going to do. I'm going to have one of my nurses come here and draw some blood, then relieve some of this fluid off of your hand. I can't say what bit you just yes. We know it was an insect, most likely a spider, but we'll know more after your blood work comes back. I also want to keep you another day for observation." Xerxes explained to the Mr Smith as he sighed, nodding his head.

Xerxes nodded, getting up as he took off his gloves, throwing them over in the trash, and washing his hands again before leaving the room, stopping at the nurses' station before heading to the break room. It was lunchtime, and he left his at home. Sighing himself, he sat down at one of the tables, putting out his phone as he put in his AirPods calling Ri.

"Ri?"

"Hello Dr. Kohler."

"Stop! Please, I've been hearing that shit all fucking day." He said and she chuckled which made him do the same.
