On Her Mind

Answer your phone

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

"I know, I know honey, you're tired aren't you" Mary Kate cooed to the baby who was fighting her afternoon nap.

she was rocking the baby in her arms patting her butt, doing anything to get her to go to sleep.

mary kate was feeling in desperate need of a nap herself after fighting with the 6-month-old for the past 40 minutes

"what's wrong huh? you dint feel hot or anything" she held the baby's head close to her cheek feeling her forehead and cheeks just to make sure she wasn't running a fever

she went to the kitchen to get the thermometer anyway, thankfully she did because Ruth was running a small fever of 100.9

the fever was low but it was still high enough to freak Mary K out

she quickly got out her phone to call you

hey babe, what's up

"I don't know y/n something wrong with ruth" she exclaimed holding the baby who was now screaming at her mother's own distress

slow down, your freaking ruth out... Mary Kate you're scaring her you tolf her calmly which seemed to helo her nerves a bit

"well... she couldn't sleep so I went to check her temperature and it's 100.9, 100.9 y/n. I think I should bring her in and have Mattie look at her-" Mary Kate stated as if it had been decided already

calm down. She's fine... 100.9 is normal for someone with as weak of an immune system as she has... you forget how little she is. she can't regulate her body temperature yet. what is she wearing?

as you were trying your best to talk Mary Kate off a ledge you were also getting paged and had to wrap the conversation with your very worried girlfriend up

"a sleeper" Mary Kate got out pretty smoothly although her voice was still slightly shaking

the sound of your girlfriend in so much panic made your heart ache

you knew she was mainly worked up because she was all alone with ruth, If you was there she would be handling things much better

ok see. just strip her down to a onesie and lay her down. her temp will be back to normal by the time she wakes up

you instructed simply and Mary Kate agreed willingly

ok baby, I gotta go... I love you

it was just killing you that you were stuck at the hospital, taking care of other people's sick kids, when your own daughter was feeling bad.

"I love you too" MK stated truthfully before hanging up the phone.

it seemed as if you and MK both were getting antsy without each other, although you had something come up that was soon going to take your mind off things

as soon as Mary Kate hung up you rushed to your boss who'd been trying to page you for the past 5 minutes

"y/n there you are, we need you in O.R 3" she stated simply handing you a chart

then she walked away with no explanations

all your questions were answered as soon as you opened the chart

conjoined twins

you defiantly weren't missing out on this.

Mary Kate was finally able to get ruth down after following your advice.

she was so exhausted from fighting her small daughter that she ended up falling asleep to a soap opera on the couch.
