Roses {Finished}

Part 1

Bey POV
"Good morning Dr. Carter"
"Morning ladies" I said to my nurses. "What's on the agenda for today?"
"You have 23 scheduled appointments. One is already in a room and three others are in the lobby." one of the nurses said.
"Thank you"

My name is Beyoncé Giselle Carter. I haven't used my other name is years. I in no way want to speak of my past life, that part of me died twelve years ago. I am the top pediatrician here in New York and have been for six years now. My husband and I have been together for ten years and have one child together, Blue, with another in the works. I only take scheduled appointments, if you'd like to see me without one it'd be hard because I'm that popular and I don't take walk-ins that often. Anyways let me go check on my patients.

Noon
"Alright ladies, make sure you're back by two so we can finish up the day."
I close my office for two hours to give my staff and myself a break. Working with kids and crazy parents all day is no easy task.

I'm on my way to meet up with my husband for lunch because I miss my baby. I pulled up to our favorite restaurant, BBQs, and walked in scanning the room for my husband. Once I spotted him I walked over and greeted him with a kiss and sat down.

"I just sent the order back for us."
"I could have ordered myself Jay."
"You get the same thing everytime, so why waste time with menus."
"I wanted something different this time."
Jay straight faced me. "Bey you've been getting the same thing ever since I brought you here eight years ago. Hell they know our names"
"I might have wanted to try something new"
"You say this everytime and still end up getting the honey tender fries and wings."
"Whatever" I laughed.

Our food finally came and we engaged in small talk until he brought up what happened last night.
"Bey I really think you should see someone about your dreams."
"I'm fine, we've already had this conversation. And my answer is still no."
"Why won't you see anyone?"
"You know I don't like talking about my past."
He sighed. "Look I know your family dying in a car crash was hard for you but you have to let that out."
"Like I said, I'm fine."
"You're fine? Really? It was just a few weeks ago you were screaming so loud that you woke our daughter up! Bey it took us all night to try and get her back to sleep because she thought you were in trouble!!"
"I was there! I know what happend! I'm not going to see anyone so they can try and get all in my business!" I got up from the table storming out the restaurant.

Jay ran out after me and gently grabbed my arm.
"Listen to me. I'm just trying to help you and be there for you babe." he said pulling me into a hug.
"I know that and that's why I love you. I'm just not ready to talk about it with some stranger. You know how I feel about people I don't know."
He chuckled, "Yeah, made ya boy wait two years before I got to take you on an actual date."
"You were persistent as hell."
"Because I knew that I wanted you. But you kept playin me."
"Mhmm. And look at you now. Waiting don't seem so bad now, huh?"
"Nah I'm good. But I'll let you get back to work. Am I cooking tonight or are you?"
"I'll cook since it's Friday and I know you'll want to rest before you go in tonight."
"I could just pick up a pizza when I get Blue from school."
"No." I quickly said. "She needs real food."
See my child will eat pizza all the time if she had the chance. It's her favorite food. And because she's a daddy's girl he'll get it for her.
"Okay fun killer." he laughed.
"Whatever. See you at home."
We kissed, he opened my door and I headed back to my office to finish with the rest of my patients.

Twenty more minutes and I'm free! Today has been long and I just want to go home and sleep. I shouldn't have told Jay I would cook. Anyways let me pack up my things so when five o'clock hits I can leave. As I'm packing up I hear commotion going on at the front.

"Please ma'am. My son is running a fever and this is the closest doctor's office to my home." I heard a man's voice say.
I walked out and saw this light skinned man with a little boy who looked about ten. The boy looked weak and pale.
"What's going on out here?" I asked one of the nurses.
"I was explaining to this gentleman that you don't take walk in patients without a referral. Especially with it almost being closing time." Lauren, one of my best nurses, stated.
"Please doctor! My kid hasn't been feeling good lately and today he has a fever that seems to be getting worse."
I looked at the little boy again. I hate to see children sick and this little boy was barely standing on his own.
"Okay, just this one time. Lauren take him to one of the rooms and get his temperature. I'll be in there in a few to do a full assessment." I stated.
"Yes ma'am," Lauren said grabbing the 'new patient' forms along with the other necessary papers he would need to fill out.
"Thank you." the man said
"No problem." I definitely wasn't cooking now. I guess Blue will get her pizza after all.
