House Call

Chapter 26: Love on The Brain

Wyatt's POV

Hearing his voice brought me the sweetest joy. For days on end now, I've been dying to hear the voice that made me happy to be alive, the same voice I want to hear for the rest of my life. 

As speechless as I was, two words managed to leave my mouth. "You're awake.." I said smiling. 

He eyed me, up and down. "And you're still still sexy as can be."

Come on now, I couldnt believe I was blushing.  I walked over to him and kissed him on his forehead. He grabbed my hand and squeezed it tightly. 

"I've been dreaming about you."

"And I've been missin you."

I had completely forgot that Terrance was in the room until he spoke up. "You know, I've missed you too bro."

We both looked at him and laughed. 

"Not as much as I've missed whoopin that ass on the court. The day they disharge me, you better be ready to D-Up homeboy.

Terrance and I shared a look. " Ahh, see there you go. You aint been awake ten minutes and already you're over there talking that bullshit."

I laughed. "I'm going to go get the chief so we can do a neuro check, and then Im going to call the family."

As I was about to walk away, Percy grabbed squeezed my hand tight and pulled me back towards him. "Can't we let them wait a little while, I really just want to spend some time with my husband, if that's ok?"

That shit had my heart completely liquified. I looked at Terrance who was just standing there smiling, probably happy to know that Percy was alright after all. 

"Ok here's the deal. I will hold off on calling the family... as long as you agree to have the chief check you out and I look at your other wounds, especially those bones of yours. Deal?" I asked. 

"You'll get no argument from me."

"Ok, I'll be back. "

I left Terrence in there with him, he was Percy's brother as far as I was concerned and I knew that they meant a great deal to each other. I went on a hunt to find Chief Bennett, hoping that he was still in the building or maybe even doing a surgery. He was the only person that I trusted enough to do a full check up on my man, plus It didn't hurt that he specialized in neurology. 

I found him walking about out of the reviewing room with a couple of doctors that looked to be inters. 

"Hey chief, you think I could get your help for a moment?" I asked. 

He said his goodbyes to the two young doctors, whom I'd never seen before, and made his way over to me. "Dr. Bradshaw, just the man I wanted to see."

That surprised me because I couldn't think of anything he would want to talk to me about. 

He placed his hand on my shoulder. "I'd like to be one of the first to congratulate you on passing your oral boards, and would also like for you to stop by my office when you get some time so we could discuss your new position in the NICU."

My eyes had gotten so big, I felt they were going to just pop out my fucking head. "Oh my gosh, I had completely forgot about that! Thank you sir."

Without meaning to, I  pulled him into a hug. "Thank you so much, I swear, I would not have been as prepared as I was if it weren't for you."

When we separated he leaned against the wall. "It was my absolute pleasure helping mold you into the amazing doctor you are. You have so much more to accomplish, and I'm extremely proud of you."
