The buffet dinner went great with both families thoroughly enjoying themselves. Yuri and Taeyeon were discussing about the business , but most importantly about the new school. Taeyeon has been bringing her daughter to the office for almost a week now since she started working. And her whole work has been revolved around her daughter's schedule , she is ready to put her daughter in the nursery and get a hundred percent into her work.
"Her immunization is tomorrow. I can't be there so Ppani will bring her there for the shots then drop her at the office."
"Or I can take a day off to take care of her myself." Tiffany suggested.
"You just get back from your maternity leave."
"I can take an unpaid leave." Taeyeon shook her head and tapped her wife's hand gently. "Go to work."
"Take a few days off after tomorrow Taeng. She's gonna run a slight fever." Yuri warned the new parents. Taeyeon nod her head , "I know. I'm just going to work at home."
"What time is the meeting ending tomorrow?" Jessica asked. Both Yuri and Taeyeon looked at each other then at Jessica and shrugged their shoulders. "Then who will take care of Rosie then if you're still in the meeting?" Taeyeon widened her eyes after realizing the fact.
"I told you I can take a day off to take care of her." Tiffany said again. Jessica raised her hands signaling everyone to be silent , "I'll take care of her."
"Then it's done." Taeyeon said, Tiffany huffed and glared at her wife. Yuri reckoned the tense atmosphere and quickly went off to pay the bill and go home. Yuri and her family were in another car while Taeyeon and her family is in another. "That was pretty tense" Jessica nod her head at Yuri's sentence. "I thought they would pick a fight there."
"Tae why wouldn't you let me take the day off to take care of Rosie?" Tiffany wasted no time in questioning her wife after Yuri's family left. Taeyeon sighed , she knew she was asking for it. "Because you just got back. And you need to get in the surgical room opening up on people. I don't want your track record to be spoilt."
"What about our family? I told you , you and Rosie comes first." Tiffany retorted.
"I know, but you're a brilliant doctor. I don't want you to sacrifice that for our family. Many unfortunate families could benefit from your expertise. You could potentially save them from death and painful seperations." Taeyeon stated.
"But what about our family? I don't want my daughter to not be close to me because I prioritize other patients before her. Don't tell me that she will understand , I know its hard for a child to grasp that her mother can't be there for her because she is working on other people."
"So what do you want to do now?"
"I want to spend time with my daughter. I want to watch her grow. I want to take an indefinite hiatus from my career."
"No. You can cut down on your surgeries. You can take on anything you want. But you will continue working as a doctor. You can work in a private sector if you want. It's less demanding. But you will still be a doctor. You can even open up a clinic."
"Fine. If that's the way you want it. I will be a consultant. End of story."
"But that means you will not be participating in surgeries. You're just-
"Consulting. Exactly. Works from 8am to 5pm. No unnecessary calls. No emergency surgeries." Taeyeon sighed and leaned her head on the steering wheel. "But you spent so much years poking me and making me suffer while you go chase after your career. Now you want it to stop. Heck , if you want to be a consultant , we could have gotten Rosie even earlier." Taeyeon complained.
