The Love That We Deserve

Sweet Sweet Nothings

Season14x03

"Dun-dun dun-dun dun dun dun-dun, dun-dun dun dun." It's currently Three o'clock in the morning as I whisper the Mission Impossible theme song as I tip toe down the stairs to the kitchen. I pretend to do a flip and hide behind the bookshelf's and tables. I am so into my element that I failed to notice the two shadows lurking in the back. My fuzzy socks slide across the floor into the kitchen. I do a little success dance and get out all my snacks. "I'm fucking amazing." I pop a pizza Pringle in my mouth and shuffle my way to the couch, when suddenly... "AHHHHH!" I drop my snacks, I quickly cover my naked legs. When my eyes adjust to the darkness I realize that its just Lucifer and Draco standing on a pillar. "You little shits you scared the pee out of me!" I laugh as I start to pick up my snacks. I hop on the couch and turn on the TV. "Come my precious it's 'The Nanny' time." Draco jumps from the pillar on to Luci's head and he trots over to the couch sitting next to me. "Good god Ms.Fine is so fine. Hehe. I'm hilarious."

I smooth down my black trousers, fix my silk emerald dress shirt. "Damn I'm hot."  I check myself on the mirror making sure my makeup looks nice. I start to walk out and pick up my platform heels and run up to Owen so he can strap them on me. "Please amor?" He smiles and pats his leg.

"Why do you look hot?" Megan calls out to me.

"Ok. One, I always look hot. Two, Grandpa Avery is coming so I have to look presentable." I switch my foot on Owens lap.

"Ohh." A loud snip is made. "Ow! Watch it, Avery!" We look at Megan and Jackson as he remove the staples from her abdomen.

"Pain is a great sign. Your nerves are regenerating and forming connections to the graft. I don't see any sign of rejection from your biopsy. I mean, you are recovering much faster than we'd hoped." He smiles at her then us. Owen pats my leg and I give him a kiss.

"So I can get out of here soon." She looks at Owen. "We need to e-mail my C.O. about transport."

"Okay, slow down. We need to check for infection and do physical therapy." Owen plays with my hair as he lectures Megan. The door opens to reveal Bailey.

"Uh, he will be in the lobby in 15 minutes." She looks at me and Avery.

He rolls his eyes. "I told you my grandfather does not..."

"Like crowds." Jackson and I say together.

"And I told you two, to be there anyway." She glares at us.

Someone's cellphone starts vibrating. Megan laughs and she shows us that Farouk is calling. "Hey, mister. Guess who's coming home soon." She makes a face at Owen.

"Mmm." He shakes his head.

"Hi nina." I give her a hug and she kisses my head. I turn to smile at Harper. "Hello, Grandpa." Now you may be asking, Isabella what do you mean grandpa? Well, nina introduced me to him when I was ten. He was fascinated by the way my brain worked and even had me sit in some of the board meetings, that's also how I became a chair holder of the Avery Foundation, but that's a story for later. When I graduated high school and told them that I was planning on becoming a surgeon he was ecstatic for me and helped me get in the best schools. He represented me, but never once did he give me anything I earned it. That's how I have his respect and he has mine, even if sometimes I wanna kick his rude white misogynistic ass.
