Nadine

47. Discharges

I wake up early in the morning. I'm in my bed with Dipak. He is still sound asleep. I sneak out and get washed up. I really need to be doctor today and they must have been up late.

I get all ready and pull my hair back. I eat and do everything I can think of. I check Dipak and he is still sound asleep. I'm just going to let him sleep.

I walk to the medical area and it looks much better but it's still packed. I start grabbing patients and charts and discharging. It's a lot of paperwork but not to bad.

"Are we mad at anyone today?"

Dorseti walks in the patient room I'm in to check the bloods.

"No today. Maybe tomorrow."

She starts laughing. "We need more boy drama around here."

"Well I can introduce you to a prince."

We both laugh and she goes to the next room.

After about 2 hours of discharges Dipak walks in. "Good morning baby." He kisses me on the head.

"Good morning my king. Did you just wake up? And why you taking a bath without me? You know I like to rub oil all over you. You should have summoned me for that." We both smile and he gives me a deep kiss.

"I really should have. It would have made my morning so much better."

I give him a little kiss on the lips. "I'm playing doctor today. Probably all day. What you doing today?"

"A love sick king baby. Your dad's still out."

"What do you want to do with the throne?"

"Whatever you"

"No."

"What do you want?"

He looks at me for a second and wraps his arms around me. "I just want you. You're all I've ever wanted. I want you to be happy and safe. I want you to feel loved. I don't want anything other that than. So, as long as you're happy, that's it for me."

"Well you have to have some kind of opinion about it."

"King is a job. Just like Doctor, queen, princess, farmer. They are all just jobs. What I want is you. I want you to be happy. Whatever job I'm in, does not matter to me. I will get a job as a cowboy if it would make you happy. I don't care what job I have to play. I only care about you."

I give him a dirty look.

He kisses me on the head. "The choice is yours sweetheart. I can be king. I can can rule and defend your kingdom. I'll do what you need. But I don't think it would make you happy to be queen yet. I think we still have some things to do before we settle into those roles."

"Like what?"

He looks down and rubs his eyes for a second. "Like go live in a fucking igloo."

I bust out laughing. "Maybe just a couple days of that sir. I just want to see how they live. Don't really have to stay for that long."

"Well that just made my day a whole lot better." He gives me a big hug and kisses my head. "I need to collect Gunner I think and do king things baby."

"King things?"

"Well your dad made me king then went unconscious. I'm a little unprepared. It's more of a group effort at this point." He smiles and gives me another kiss.

I wrap my arms around his neck. "You're doing great. I love you."

He gives me a deep kiss. "I love you too." His eyes start darkening.
