It's Just Research (Kaimelia)

Excuses

Where the hell is link!? Amelia yells, "I'm going to be late for my plane. Honestly, he can't be on time to pick up his own son. "

Amelia grabs her phone and starts to dial, "Where are you? I'm already so late for my flight and I don't think I'm going to make it on time because of you. Where are you? "

Link began to say, "Amelia I was caught up in trauma, and it's not my fault you have a special new project you won't tell me about. So would you stop screaming at me? I sent one of the interns to pick him up and bring him to the hospital daycare, and besides, I'm in the middle of surgery. It's not like I can let one of the first years do the surgery. "

"Jesus Link," Amelia says, "You couldn't be that lazy to just call me to let me know, because then I could have just dropped Scout by myself. Now I'm going to have to drive all the way to the hospital and schedule a whole different flight." The door began to ring as Amelia opened it. She could see Schmitt at the door. She picks up the phone and says, "oh look, your intern is here 30 minutes late." Amelia then hangs up the phone in rage.

Amelia hands Schmitt all the Scouts' things, gets in her car, and arrives at the airport.

While Amelia waits for her flight, she writes a short email to Kai.

Dr. Bartley,

I'm going to be running a bit late because I missed my flight to Minnesota and now I need to take a later flight there.

Sorry for the late notice.

Shepard.

Ten minutes later, Amelia gets an email from Kai.

Dear Amelia,

No problem. To be honest, I have no right judging you for being late for your flight because of the countless times I have been late. And also, no need to write so formally. I'm not your boss.

Kai.

Fast forward Amelia has landed and is heading to the lab.

Amelia opens the lab door and sees Kai sitting on one of the chairs going through a lot of paper work.

"Haha, someone has finally joined the party." Kai says with with a grin on their face.

"You know, maybe I should go through that huge door with that exit sign," utters Amelia. And they both started chuckling.

Oh and don't you worry, I left you all of this AMAZING paper work to do while you were off going to Jurassic Park!

"Noted." Amelia said, "Guess more coffee for me." As she grabs the coffee from their hands,

As Amelia walks back to her seat, she trips over a bottle and lands face down on the floor.

Oh my God! Amelia, are you okay, Amelia?" Kai shouted nervously.

Kai helps Amelia up from the floor and lays her down on a nearby couch.

Yeah, I'm fine. I just fell, oww my head! "Yelps Amelia.

"I'm so, so sorry Amelia you must of triped over my bottle that I left on the floor earlier, and now it looks like you are going to need stitches on your head! This is all my fault..."

Don't worry Kai, it's my fault. I'm the one who didn't watch where I was going. You're the least person to blame for this anyway. "

Kai, worried, goes to get supplies to clean her head. "Here, let me go get a cloth to clean it." Kai sits down next to Amelia and lifts her head a bit to stop the blood from going down to her eyes. "This might hurt a little." as they go to clean the wound and start stitching it up.

"Jesus that hurts!" Amelia screams, and as she goes to find anything to hold down, not knowingly, she puts it on Kai's thigh. "Sorry I didn't realize-"

Kai looks down and reaches for Amelia's hand that is on their thigh, grasps their hand in hers, and looks into Amelia's eyes. It's fine, don't worry, it's the least I can do.

Kai finishes up the stitches on her head. "Looks like it's all done, and once again, I'm so sorry..."

Amelia looks at Kai. "No... no it's fine, trust me, I'm fine."

Kai pulls back Amelia's hair behind her ear and strokes her cheek, softly saying, "Ok, I'm just glad nothing bad happened to you."

They look at one another for a few seconds, and then Kai puts their hands together and holds Amelia's hand with theirs.

Amelia starts to get nervous and releases her hands from their grip and stands up, saying, "You know, I got to get going." I have those... " Stutters to find an excuse, "papers to get done and I need to check in to my hotel." See you tomorrow! ", as she quickly makes her way out of the room before Kai had a chance to respond.
