Ethan- Bubble

This is based off an episode in Greys Anatomy

I've just come home from travelling around the Middle East to help new mothers and babies. I'm in the changing room with April getting ready for my first day back at Med
"How was your travels?" April asks turning away from me to take off her shirt. I do the same to put my scrubs on
"Honestly April it was amazing, saving the lives of not only moms but babies as well and teaching other doctors what we know and learning what they know. I would seriously..."
"Oh my god what the hell is that on your back?" April asks
"What?" I turn around and face her "what's on my back? Is it a mole? I mean I did get a bit sunburnt so is it pealing?" I watch April put a mask on over her face as I cough
"April!"
"You've got a rash. I think we just need to get it checked out"
"April I feel fine I'm not sick"
"I don't care. Your getting checked out"

Getting checked out means I'm now quarantined in a bubble
"Guys it's just a rash. Your overreacting"
"YN you've got a rash, cough a high temp. You were in the Middle East. We need to make sure what you have isn't contagious, figure out what you have caught while traveling" I sigh feeling defeated at Goodwin
"Anyone told Ethan?" I ask
"Yes. I paged him a few moments ago. Should be here in a minute"
"Well can we just hurry up and figure out what I've got so I can leave this bubble. I'd like to go home with my husband tonight"
"That may not be happening" Ethan says walking through the door standing by Goodwin and April "your symptoms are nonspecific, right now we are trying to rule out anthrax"
"Shouldn't you be in there as well?" April asks
"No. We've been separating ourselves since she came home just in case of any illness. Good job we did"
"Babe please figure this out. I'm gonna be bored out of my mind in here"
"You don't think it's MERS" April says worriedly
"Guys I'm right here. Don't go saying what it could be, worry me like hell then leave me alone"
"Your staying put until your tests come back" Goodwin points at me before leaving
"I will visit you I promise" April says before leaving. Ethan walks over to the bubble while I pout
"This sucks"
"I know. But once we figure out what's wrong we can treat you and get you home"
"You best hurry up then"
"I'll check on you later. Try to relax"
"Relax?" I shout "I've been quarantined for a rash that April now thinks is MERS"
"She shouldn't have said anything while being in close proximity to you. I'll go home and pick up some books for you"
"Fine" I cross my arms over my chest "and can you get me some snacks?"

I've been bored out of my mind for the last few hours. As time has gone on I have started to feel unwell but I won't let the others let on to the fact
"Ok YN your free to leave" Goodwin says walking in with Ethan and April "your rash is just contact dermatitis and that cough and fever, the flu"
"Told you I wasn't ill"
"You still have the flu" April says earning an eye roll off me
"I still want you to go home and rest for today. Come back for your next shift if you are actually well. If your sick I don't want you in" Goodwin says looking at me "Ethan I'll leave that up to you" Ethan opens up the bubble then takes me into his arms for a hug
"You do feel warm"
"I'm fine"
"YN" Ethan warns
"Fine. I do feel a little under the weather"
"Let me get you home and I'll get you some medicine and soup"
"Ok" I sigh giving in.

At home Ethan sets me up in bed with the TV on, some soup, water and medicine
"I have to go back to work, but I'll see you later"
"I'll be here" Ethan leans down, kisses my forehead and then leaves our shared room. Leaving me to carry on watching Real Housewives and eating my soup.
