SCALIA ONE SHOTS

The One That Got Away

"Is he going to be okay Dr. McCall?" the little girl asked worried about her dog.

"Of course he will be Mary. Just make sure to give him his meds every day."

The girl smiled at Scott and then went to pet her dog and telling him he'll be okay.

"Thank you for making sure he'll be okay. Mary would of been sad if something happened to him." Mary's mom told Scott.

"It's no problem Mrs. Higgins. It is my job to make sure they're going to be fine." Scott smiled at her and then looked over at Mary petting and caressing her dog.

Mary and Mrs. Higgins took their dog and left the veterinary happy.

Scott was cleaning up some of his tools when he heard the door's bell ring signaling a customer has entered.

He finished drying his hands and walks to the front of the building to see a woman back facing him.

"Hi how can I help you today?" Scott said approaching the woman and seeing her dog in her hands.

The woman turns around and Scott sees her face and is shocked to see who the woman is.

"Malia?" Scott says blinking a bit to make sure he isn't dreaming.

Malia's face lits up seeing Scott's face.

"Bonjour Scott!"

Scott couldn't believe it was Malia. She had a bit longer hair and than last time she saw her. She still looked gorgeous as he remember her to be. Her smiled of course big and beautiful as always.

Scott smiles and approaches to give her a hug which only last two seconds because her dog then starts shuffling around uncomfortable being squished in between.

"Oh sorry there pal." Scott says patting the dogs head and scratching it's ear.

"It's been so long since we've last seen each other. How's France?" Scott said still petting the dog.

"France was great! I saw so many beautiful places, learned some French and even met some French men."

Scott mind wondered at the last part. Malia met French men which means she probably dated some French men.

He's wondering now if she probably has a boyfriend now and if he's French.

"Earth to Scott?!" Malia waved in front of his face to get his attention.

"Uh? Sorry what did you say?" Scott said realizing he was zoning out.

Malia just laughed, "I said how's Beacon Hills been? Any threats since the last time I've been here?"

"Surprisingly no major treats around here. Just minor ones."

"That's good. So how've you been? I see you're a veterinarian now. Impressive I must say."

"Thanks, well it's been my dream and I've finally achieved it."

Talking about him being a veterinarian reminded him the reason why she's here.

"Is there something wrong with your dog? We totally took the attention away from the real reason of your visit." Scott said looking at the dog still in Malia's arms.

"I just wanted to get him just a regular check up now that I'm back in Beacon Hills."

"Sounds good. Okay well right this way even though you already know." chuckled Scott and led them to the back.

Malia set down her dog on the metal table that she's recognized so many times.

"What's the little guys name?" Scott went and washed his hands and put on his gloves.
