"I actually wanted to speak to you last night"

I rolled my eyes.

"what made you think I was gonna be up at 2am if I told you that I was tired?"

"stop talking to me like that"

oh brother

"be a lady"

"don't make me hang up this phone right now" I warned.

"try saying, good morning amor I ended up falling asleep I was super tired"

this call has been disconnected

I massaged my temples as I slammed down the phone.

Today's my first day at the hospital and Fernando WON'T STOP CALLING THE FRONT DESK!

"mommy" I whined as she walked by heels clicking against the tile.

"that's Mrs. Singh to you"

I pouted.

"what's wrong dear?"

"how do I block a number on this?" I asked pointing at the phone.

"what?"

"Fer-"

"Singh! we need you to scrub in!"

She sent me a small smile then raced down the hall.

I huffed slumping away in my seat.

The clock struck 12 and I finally got my lunch break.

which I spent talking to Juan

"Aalia Singh please report to labor and delivery. Aalia Singh please report to labor and delivery"

jeez a girl can't pee anymore?

I ran out the bathroom still zipping up my pants.

"what's the situation!?"

My mom turnt around.

"here"

She handed me a clipboard.

I looked down and saw a patients chart.

"scrub in, you're going to shadow me"

My heart skipped a beat.

I went into the locker room and changed into pink scrubs. I put on my cap as I followed behind my mom and other nurses.

I quickly scanned over the patients chart before entering the room.

Mom introduced all of us to the patient before asking me to take vitals.

As I took the soon to be new mother's blood pressure, my mom talked about her about the delivery and what she should expect.

I handed over the vitals to the charge nurse then thanked the woman for being patient with me.

"alright Mrs. Lopez, we're leaving you in good hands and I can't wait to meet you and your baby boy again" my mom smiled squeezing her hand.

And with that we left.

"I didn't know you still interact with patients as a nurse manager" I mumbled to my mom as I sanitized hands.

I followed her to her office. I sat down in her chair and started to spin around as I sipped her tea.

"you don't have to, but I do. and that's why I am the most liked nurse manager in the hospital. I connect with my patients on my floor and I will make sure they know that I am there for them and I will advocate for them"

I smiled.

Mom's the reason I want to be a nurse. She's just the perfect angel. Her hands were blessed by the gods themselves.

"now get out my seat and go back to work, those phone calls won't answer itself"

I chuckled getting up.

"aye aye captain!" I saluted.

She laughed shoving me out of her office.

I changed out of my scrubs and back to my regular clothes before returning to my desk.

The rest of the day consisted of me answering calls and doing charts.

I knocked on the door until mom let me in.

"I'm going to head out" I said peeking in.

She looked up.

"okay I'll see you later, start dinner for me please" she said lifting up her glasses.

I nodded.

I said goodnight to all the other staff, then left.

I sighed in relief as I walked into the house. I kicked my shoes off and dropped my bags.

home at last
