Jay's Anatomy

Welcome Back.

Jay's POV

I stepped through the doors of the hospital and I got stares from nurses, doctors, visitors, and other staff members.

"Good morning Dr. Manali" One of the nurses said with a smile as I mirrored it back.

I walked towards the elevator and I prepared to get on. Chris got here earlier than me because he had a surgery at 5 a.m. I figured that I was able to come back to work today.

"Good morning Dr. Manali, how are you feeling this morning?" The Chief asked as he stepped onto the elevator with me.

"I'm fine Chief... how are you?"

"I'm great... you've been missed. The Pediatric department has been awaiting your return. The children definitely miss you." He said as I cracked a smile. I love my babies and my young patients.

As we reached our floor, we walked off and I headed for the lounge.

"Manali, Wait..." I heard Chief Hardwick say as I opened up the door to see everybody... except for August and Zoey.

"Bestie!!" I heard Keith yell out as he started to run towards me.

"Dr. Powers give her some space for a little while." The Chief said as he shook his head okay and he hugged me.

Chris felt that it was a little too early for me to come back, but I insisted that I was ready... maybe.

Moniece walked over and embraced me in a warm hug... not letting me go. My eyes scanned the room to see other doctors, including Dave.

He kept his distance and he stared me down. It was really weird, but I know he's probably pissed at me. I'm sure that he also knows about me and Chris. Maybe... I'm not sure what he knows.

"Manali, before you get started... I have to let you know that I've scheduled interventions with our new therapist. I'm making it mandatory that everyone sees her once a day." The Chief said as I rolled my eyes.

The last thing I wanna do is talk to a freakin therapist. I don't want to. I can handle this on my own.

Hours Later

"Are you sure?" August asked me as I ensured him.

"August... I need to be the one asking you if you're fine. You could've died." I said as he shrugged his shoulders.

"All I did was get shot in the chest." He said sarcastically as I pushed his leg.

"Nigga you're a whole heart surgeon. You know it's dangerous to get shot in the chest. You're just talkin' smack." I said standing up from his bedside.

"How's my little niece or nephew doin' in there?" He asked as a smile appeared on his face.

"He or she is doing just fine." I said chuckling and rubbing my stomach.

"So... How is this gonna work? You gonna let Chris be a step dad or...?" He asked as I hit him with a pillow from the couch.

"Shutup.... worry about that hole in your chest." I said as he mean mugged me then he cracked a smile.

"Aye speaking of dat, The Chief said we gotta do therapy sessions or somethin' to make sure dat we ight..." August said as he rolled his eyes in the back of his head and I did the same.

"I know man... knowin' that I don't wanna do it." I said standing by the door.

"Aye... how bout' we do it togetha'... we can sit in our therapy sessions with each other. So, if they start comin' at us the wrong way, we can boss up on em." He said as I laughed with him.

"Alright... agreed... I'll come by and check on you later Dr. Alsina." I said as I walked out the door.

"Bestieeeeee I was looking all over the place for you." Keith said running up and hugging me.

"Hey bestie... can I get on your back? I'm tired of walking." I asked as he furrowed his eyebrows.

"You know I'd do anything for you, but you want me to carry two of y'all? Nah, not gonna happen." He said as he started walking away.

"Aw okay Keith! Way to be a best friend! You're cut off!" I semi-yelled as Keith blew kisses to me as he walked away.

Niggas love walking away from problems.

Chris' POV

"Dr. Brown, your patient has been prepped for surgery." One of the nurse's said as I shook my head okay.

I walked towards the lounge to grab something to drink before surgery.

"Hi, you must be Dr. Brown..." I heard a female's voice say as I turned around to meet the face.

"Yes... who might you be?" I asked as she reached her hand out to shake it.

"My name is Dr. Green, and I am the therapist that has you scheduled for a session after your surgery. I expect to see you in my office young man. We have a lot of ground to cover." She said as she shook my hand, smiled, and walked off.

So, an older woman is gonna be dissecting my personal life? How fun is that gonna be...

I looked down the hall, and I saw Moniece walking out of a room wiping her face.

"Hey Mo, what's wron——" I asked as she cut me off and she looked up at me.

"That therapist... she's dangerous... she dug deep into my life, and showed me things I didn't even wonder about. If you don't stand clear of her tactics, she's gonna have you crying too. Watch out for that woman. Dang she's good at her job." Moniece said chuckling and crying simultaneously as she walked away...

What the heck just happened?

"Want a hug Mo?" I asked aloud as she yelled back "leave me alone!" in a playful manner.

I'm about to avoid every tactic in the book. But, enough of that, it's time for surgery...

Dave's POV

I saw Jay walking down the hallway and I walked up to her quickly.

"Hey D——" She said as I cut her off by pulling her in the storage room.

"What the——" She said as I cut her off again.

"What's going on? I haven't seen you in years..." I said as she furrowed her eyebrows.

"Boy... you saw me some days ago..." She said as I folded my arms.

"Nigga that's what I meant. I ain't seen you... you haven't answered any texts messages or phone calls. You've been hiding out, then you wanna walk up in the hospital like nothing ever happened?" I asked as I towered over her.

I don't care what Chris said... Jay is carrying my child and I definitely still love her. It doesn't hurt to try at least one last time.

"I'm sorry David... I was very selfish and I was completely out of line. I hope you know the baby is fine and I——" She said as I cut her off one last time.

"Marry me...." I said as I looked her in her eyes.

She froze... everything froze... I searched for an expression, but her eyes didn't move a muscle.

"Jay...." I said as she still didn't move an inch. Dang, I done messed up now.

This is actually kinda funny though... I got down on one knee and surprisingly her eyes followed me.

"Jay... I'm asking you to marry me..."

When the last word flew out of my mouth, her eyes rolled in the back of her head, and her body dropped right in front of me...

Did she really just faint?
