Jack finished up with the amputation, his last job for the day. Hetty took the patient away and Jack headed back into the prep room hanging up his apron on the wall and brushing the blood off his hands. He rolled up the blood-drenched cuffs of his white shirt sleeves as he headed out and into the main lobby and saw a familiar sight.
Y/n stood in the main lobby wearing her typical light blue and white day dress with her crinoline below it, her body squeezed into a corset and her curls pulled back into a braid, She chatted sweetly with the nurse at the front desk, a small paper box in her hands. She spotted him and she excitedly smiled as if she had just seen the love of her life as Jack walked up.
"Ah, Miss Y/L/N. What are you doing here?" He spoke up,
"Doctor Dawkins! pleasure to see you, I was hoping to have a word if you're not too busy?"
"What could a pretty young woman like you want with an old man like myself," He said in a sarcastic tone,
Y/n chuckled "Need I remind you doctor Dawkins you are only four years older than me," she teased,
Jack rolled his eyes. "Yes but I feel so old. Everyone looks at me like I'm an old man, " He sighed and leaned against the wall, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Perhaps something to do with your attitude," she muttered, "So do you have the time for a word or not?"
"I can give you a moment or two. If you really want," he chuckled,
She smiled sweetly, "I made something for you,"
That caught Jack's attention and he gave her a questioning look and slightly raised an eyebrow. "What have you made for me?"
Y/n smiled and opened up the small box in her hand revealing the box was filled to the brim with cookies "I made some cookies for you, I know you've been doing double shifts a lot lately so I figured as I had some time I could make you some cookies to have when you get into your room after work," she smiled, "there's plain chocolate chip, white chocolate and raspberry and then English toffee." She explained
Jack was completely astonished, he was left speechless for a moment before he finally found his words. "Y/n... I can't believe you went out of your way to make this for me," He said gently took and he looked into the box, before gently picking up an English toffee cookie and gently biting into it. It was surprisingly sweet and he actually loved the taste of them. "Ummm! They're delicious, Y/n... thank you..." Jack said gently with a soft smile on his face as he took another bite of the cookie. It took everything in him not to completely devour the entire box in one sitting.
"You're welcome, I thought they would help cheer you up since you've been working so much," she smiled, "and maybe when you run out you could let me know and I'll bake you some more,"
Jack's mind was spinning a hundred miles a minute. "You would bake for me again?" He said with shocked and slightly excited eyes. He just couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"Of course if it would cheer you up. Once that's empty let me know and I'll bake you some more I'll even take requests if you like and bake you whatever cookies you'd like. Or if you'd rather muffins or little tarts or pies,"
Jack couldn't really comprehend that someone was willing to go that far just to make him happy. It was a completely foreign concept to him. "You'd do that for me, Y/n... just because?" Jack questioned. He had to be dreaming... it was the only answer to his questions. This couldn't be happening... it was too good to be true.
"mhm," she nodded,
Jack was still sceptical. "And this is all for free? I mean... what would I owe you in return?" He questioned her slightly as he tilted his head.
