Use Somebody

Chapter 18:

Louis's POV:

I was anticipating the time that I could go see Harry again. I knew I said I would see him later but I hadn't specified when later was. I was planning on going during my lunch break, which wasn't approaching quickly might I add.

I was sitting there charting in my office, one of the more boring parts of the job but there are good things. I was waiting for a baby to arrive somewhere around eleven this morning. The mother is very anxious and it's only nine.

"Doctor Tomlinson?"

I perked my head from behind my computer.

"Mrs. Davies is asking for an epidural and we need a reassurance that she's dilated enough." Eleanor said to me.

"I'll be right there." I got up and put my lab coat back on. I walked until I saw room 306 and knocked on the door.

"Come in." I heard her say painfully.

"A little birdie told me you want an epidural? So I need to check dilation. Is that okay?" I assured I had her permission.

She nodded so, I went to wash my hands and apply gloves.

I quickly looked and she is almost 8.5, so she's was ready. I took off my gloves and threw them away and followed with another hand washing.

"I'll let the anesthesiologist know that you're ready for her." I said and left the room.

It wasn't until two thirty that I could finally go back and see Harry. The delivery lasted quite a while but I'm driving down the street to see what Harry is up to at his bakery.

I pull into the parking lot and get out of my car. I walked until I saw his bakery and I noticed that no one else was in there. It was only him, I could see him dancing by himself in the back of the store. He had his headphones in but he looked like he was having a good time.

I opened the door and watched him sweep up the back room as he danced around carefully. I knew that he was waiting to get his sutures out so he could do everything that he did before the surgery again. He only had a week left with them and then he was free.

He was still dancing and I was still watching. I'm not sure if he saw me but I was enjoying what he was doing and how at peace he looked while doing it.

He was putting the broom up and finally noticed me standing by the cases. He walked over with his sunshine smile that I saw this morning when I kissed him.

"Hey, it must be later." He said jokingly.

"Yeah, it is. I would have come sooner but I had something I needed to deal with first." I told him.

He produced something edible from the back and set it in front of me.

"What is it?"

"Apple cinnamon roll with nutmeg glaze. I'm thinking about putting it in the menu. Liam tried it this morning but failed to give me feedback."

I raised a piece of the cinnamon roll to my mouth. It was really good, buttery and baked perfectly.

"You made this?" I asked half astonished.

He nods. "It's good, innit?"

"Fucking amazing!" I told him.

He smiles proudly. I finish my lunch and look at the time. I really didn't have to go back, my only patient was content with her new baby girl.

"What else do you do?" I ask.

"Let me show you. Maybe I can show you a thing or two." He said.

I follow him to the back and saw where he spent his whole day. It was absolutely amazing.
