Normally being a doctor is hard work. For months I have had the most stubborn patients from all around the city. One owns a restaurant and telling him that he only had 3 months to live was heartbreaking.
I grew up dreaming I could save people like I could do it all. I lost my mother when I was young and frankly, I chose to be a doctor so I could one day save my little sister and she died from leukemia losing her was hard for me.
When I lost her, I lost my best friend. I promised I would do anything from there to help people. Then Emery's dad died and I couldn't help him for once. I was not able to keep that promise.
"Dr.Everton we have another patient today someone needing a check. They seem to be having lots of chest pain and cramps on the side."
"I'll be there in a second." He says and goes to check on the patient.
"Ok, it seems to me you have high blood sugar and I would say type 1 diabetes." Dr. Everton says to his current patient.
"Thank you, Doctor! What exactly do I do in the meantime?"
"Try to only limit your carbs and to start just having natural sugars but keep a limit." He tells them.
Then he heads off to check on the next one with chest problems and cramps.
Emery comes into the physical therapy side late and she helps out and observes.
He sees Emery on his way.
"Emery?"
"Yes, Dr.Everton? What can I do for you?"
"Would you like to go to dinner with me tonight after we are done from the hospital?"
"I would be delighted!"
"What happened to your eye?"
"It's nothing."
"Can I examine it?"
She lets him check her and feels her side and gives her a check-up.
"You bruised your ribs and they should take time to heal on their own. In the meantime, I would say go slow and if you have any asthma symptoms you feel coming on then make an appointment with me and I will take care of all that." He tells her.
"Thank you!" She says and walks off.
He takes care of the patient with chest pain and diagnosed her with pregnancy.
"Miss Jackson it seems to me you are pregnant and your baby is due in September."
"How soon will I know this child is a boy?"
"In a couple of months as the child continues to develop." He tells her.
"Thank you, Doctor!"
He continues to work with his patients and Emery earns her way up.
Emery's patient is Thomas.
"Em, I am ready to start over again if you just give me a chance. I am a better man now Em. You know why don't you come to get ice cream with me this evening."
"Thomas we are done and there won't be an us. You know, I finally found that I was ready to be your wife, and then I hear you married another. So am I not a top priority to you? Is none of these wives for you a top priority? And the crimes you did and the money you wasted. What so you could hurt because I was so blind to see such a bad husband you were to me? Go home and do your elbow exercises daily for 30 minutes and warm your arm up first before you do."
"Em listen. I-"
"Bye Thomas! I will go and help my next patient now," She tells him.
With everything going on and Emery is just the girl that has always caught my eyes. Though I probably don't have what is cut out to be the best guy for her.
Emery and Dr.Everton finish their shifts and both of them get ready for their date.
He waits for her and she meets him at the restaurant and he smiles amazed at how beautiful she is and his mouth drops as he sees her in a nice golden dress to accent her hair and eyes.
"You look amazing!"
"Thank you!"
"How was work for you?"
"Good! You?"
"You know pretty busy. Say why don't we go dancing after?"
"Sure!"
After Dr.Everton and Emery's dinner, they went to the dance and it came interrupted when Thomas comes and kisses her and he turns away.
"Alex! Wait look I am not with that guy. It is not what it looks like."
"No he is a charming guy for you and I should have known. I guess my timing as a doctor was off. I also see that wedding ring on so I better go."
"Look Thomas is insisting I be married to him and I would rather not put the ring on by force but if there is anything I can say it is I don't love Thomas. He cheated on me Alex with having another wife and I am far from being with him."
"That doesn't seem believable to me. Now I feel like the idiot." He says and goes off.
"Too bad it can't work so well with your dream boy. But you know our family can be complete again Emery. You know I ditched those other girls and I was stupid. I need you Emery so I can raise a family." Thomas said.
"Well, then you are to do it alone because I will not help you." She tries to trail off and Thomas grabs her arm.
"Well, that doesn't surprise the fact that I need you to help me, Emery. Look I owe so much money and soon if they know I care about my Ex-Wife they will hurt you."
"Yeah well, I know a doctor who can save me when I need saving."
"You can't possibly love him more than my charming looks can you?"
"I can. You know I said we are done and I mean it?! I don't need you!" She says and goes to her car and drives away.
*How did I not know she was married to a criminal? I am such a fool and she really won't be able to love me? Of course, she is married? I could have my career down the line for this too.*
"Nick I am so dumb. Of course, she is married. Such a beautiful lady deserves a great man." He tells his brother.
"Oh wow! Are you for certain I mean last I heard from Thomas they were divorced?"
"Well, maybe they decided to give it a go again," Nick went on to say to Alex.
"She is pregnant Nick with his baby and I don't know how long. I am gonna have to give her their son. What hurts me more is that I am gonna have to tell her." He says.
"If she is right for you it will work out for better," Nick says to Alex.
"I just hope your right."
I hope he is right.
