Jay's Anatomy

A Patient's Thoughts.

Weeks Later in Chris' POV

"So, Mr. Scott, Dr. Manali and I are gonna operate and we're gonna clip both of your aneurysms. You have nothing to worry about because I have the best set of hands working with me." I said smiling and looking at Jay standing on the opposite side of the bed.

"Exactly... and we have the best neurosurgeon in the world at your service. You'll be just fine, and Mrs. Scott you'll be able to take him home in good condition." Jay said as the room filled with smiles.

"Thank you so much Dr. Manali." Mr. Scott said as Jay mirrored a smile to the couple.

"Dr. Brown, I'll go and prep the O.R so we can get started." Jay said as she smiled and she walked out. I watched her every move as she waltzed into the hallway with her clipboard.

"You've got a good one Dr. Brown." Mrs. Scott said as I chuckled.

"What you mean? She's my co-worker." I said jokingly.

"Oh no no no... the look you just gave her is the same look he gives me when he's about to tell me that he loves me." Mrs. Scott said as Mr. Scott shook his head smiling and agreeing.

"I know that look anywhere son... you should go after what's yours. Wait, you're still with Dr. Zoey aren't you? You know we can hear the nurses around here talking." Mr. Scott shook his head at me while I laughed.

The Scott's have known me for at least two years. I've operated on him twice before. As you can also see, they're an older couple.

"Yeah... she's pregnant now." I said with a small smile on my face.

"Wow, are you excited?" Mrs. Scott asked me as I looked at her.

"I mean I'm gonna have a little mini me running around... it's just... I wish it was gonna be with someone else." I said writing on my clipboard.

"That someone happens to be Dr. Manali huh? Well I'll say this. You should always be comfortable in life. If you're not, then you have to make adjustments. Don't live life without it being the way you want it to be. If you want something Dr. Brown, you have to go after it." Mrs. Scott said as I smiled, but then it vanished.

"I want to, but somebody else also has their eyes on her. She has mixed emotions about the both of us." I said as Mr. Scott was about to speak.

"That must be Dr. East.... we heard the nurses talking about them too. Look, I've been married to her for 46 years. I took her from somebody that didn't deserve her and I don't regret any of it. Look where we are today. I like Dr. East and I know for sure that he would be a good fit for Dr. Manali... but of course you've saved my life twice, so I like you more. Handle your business. You have two opportunities to make me proud. Keep me alive in surgery today, and get your girl." He said as Mrs. Scott and I laughed at him.

Old people are a trip and have no filter.

"You'll have a deal on the first one... I'll work on the second one. We need you to focus on calming yourself before we put you on this anesthesia." I said preparing to walk out of the room and nurses started to walk in.

"Brown, you heard what I said... I have high expectations for you. Do what you need to do." He said pointing and winking at me. I chuckled, and I walked out of the room.

He has made valid points... I gotta do something. It's almost been a month. Jay, and I have been getting along like we were at the Boston Conference. We act silly, joke, and play around all the time like our teenage days. We even pranked a couple of the staff members last week. I haven't had this type of fun in a minute. I'll have even more fun tonight at this yacht party.

20 Minutes Later in Dave's POV

"You see that? First they play fight... then it leads to other stuff. Just give up on her Dave." Zoey said to me as we watched from a distance. Jay threw a box of tissue at Chris as he put his gloves on. When it hit him hard, she covered her mouth and he looked at her like she was bouta get beat up for real.

They were preparing to go into surgery. She's been on my service for a week or two and she's an awesome surgeon. Jay's been helping me fix broken bones, and it's like she's this prodigy. She does jaw dropping surgeries in different departments. She learns so fast. I know she wants to focus on children more, but if I ever get hurt, she's definitely somebody I would call to fix me up.

I'm trying to ignore what Zoey's saying and focus on the positive.

"Jay's just silly like that... we play fight all the time." I said as we watched him put her in a headlock. When I saw it, I looked away and I continued to write on my clipboard. I have to fill in information for some of my patients.

"Yeah... I'm sure... I just don't like that girl." She said as I looked at her.

"You're a doctor... don't you have some patients to take care of instead of stalking your co-workers?" I asked as I scoffed and I continued to write.

"Whatever Dave... she's playing you and I'm gonna prove it to you one of these days." Zoey said as she walked off.

I let out a deep sigh and I looked back at the operating room window. She looked so beautiful in her surgery attire... that's my f.w.b, but I also care about her. I want her for myself honestly. But, sometimes I feel like I'm not winning this race.

I try my hardest to please her and do what I can for her, but I just don't know. It's hard competing with Chris and the fact that they have history. I normally wouldn't fight over a girl, but Jay's different. I just wish I could make her mine. Maybe I'll do it tonight. But, I'm also afraid of rejection.

I would be so pissed off if she denied me. I don't think I'm ready for it.

"Dr. East... stop drooling over my best friend for I knock you out." I heard Keith say as he walked up to the nurse's station with Moniece. I gave him a look and I towered over him a little bit. So, he started backing up. I wanted to laugh, but I had to be serious in this moment.

"I mean... you can look at her, I was just saying don't drool next to or on her... ya feel me? I don't think she would like that." Keith said trying to clean up his threat.

"Nigga you so scary!" Moniece said hitting Keith's shoulder as we all bursted out in laughter.

I can't stand them.

Trey's POV

I've been contemplating for some weeks now... I can hold secrets and information, don't get me wrong. Dave is my homie, but Chris is my bro. I don't know if I should tell Chris, or just keep it to myself and stay out of the drama.

For some reason, Zoey came to me saying that I should tell Chris what I know. Like why would she want me to snitch on her and Dave?! Chris would hate her. In all honesty, I don't know whose baby it is. You can't really tell officially until the baby is delivered.

"Wassup witcha mane? You been real quiet ta' day" August said as he grabbed a water from the fridge. I'm sitting down on the couch in the Attending's lounge.

"I'm just tired man... but imma be ready for this party tonight. Everybody gone be there, and I plan on leaving wit' a couple of girls on my arm." I said winking at August as he chuckled and he shook his head at me.

"All of the nurses I've been messin' wit are gonna be there. Hopefully it ain't gonna be no typa' drama. I can't really turn up the way I want to." August said as I laughed at him.

I don't think a lot of us are gonna be able to wild out tonight. It's way too many eyes watching. I just hope nothing goes down.
