One and Only

Chapter 29

Avaa POV (continued)

The rest of the trip was amazing, as was the plane ride home and now I was just counting down the last few days until Khalil got home on the 31st. He only had 5 days left as long as there were no hiccups with anything down there. Today is my first day back at work from my vacation because I took an extra day off and now I have a bunch of paper work to catch up on, on top of having back to back patients to see.

I sat in my desk chair and not a second later Calista's voice rang through my phone letting me know my first patient of the day was here. I stood up and met Henry at the door.

"Damn Dr. Scott" he said in surprise, "are you sure all that is babies?" I knew he would say something like this because of his lack of inhibition and the fact that we hadn't seen each other in a while because he and his mom had been on vacation for the past month.

I laughed, "yes, Henry. Carrying triplets is no joke, but how was your vacation?" I started and he went on and on about how fun his first trip to Disney was. From what I gathered, they did a tour of the eastern coast starting in Massachusetts with Salem and Boston and ending in Florida with Disney and Universal Studios.

Our session went well and ended rather quickly, so we wrapped up and I walked him to the front desk, just as my next patient got off the elevator. Even though she was a little early, I just led her back instead of having her wait and got the session started. She was a referral from another doctor friend of mine at another practice.

"Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Dr. Scott" I extended my hand to introduce myself and she took it.

"Likewise, my name is Dana Campbell" she responded with a small smile.

"What brings you to see me today?" I leaned back in my chair and rested my hand on top of my belly as one of the babies kicked.

"Well I have just been feeling really down lately and I mentioned it to my doctor randomly  and after a few more questions, she suggested I come here" Dana shrugged her shoulders and I nodded my head.

Dana revealed that she had been having a hard time ever since her fiancé broke things off about 2 months ago and that she'd just found out she was pregnant. I found myself relating to her in more ways than one and had to catch myself from crossing the line of sharing my own experiences. I felt bad for her because it seemed like she was what my life could have been if Khalil wasn't the kind of man he is. The entire session, Dana just let it all out and I let her because she definitely needed someone to vent to- none of her family knew about the pregnancy nor did her ex, and right now she was doing this all on her own.

After her session ended, she left looking relieved and I told her to set up another appointment for 2 weeks from now. I sat back down in my chair and decided to call Khalil on my little break. I couldn't help but feel thankful to Khalil for being everything I ever wanted in a husband and father to my kids. I went to find his contact, but my phone rang instead. 'BDK' flashed across the screen and I knew it had to be Khalil; he'd changed his name in my phone from babydaddy to big dick Khalil/ babydaddy Khalil, abbreviated as BDK while I was in Atlanta.

"Hey gorgeous, how are you today?" I smiled when his face appeared on my screen and blushed when he called me 'gorgeous'; how that man could make me blush with the simplest compliments from several states away was beyond me. I could tell he was in a conference room of sorts by the big glass window behind him.

"Hi love, I'm good"

"And my babies?"

"They're fine, just giving me a run for my money with this back pain- I think Ky may be sitting too far back" I readjusted my seating position to get a little more comfortable, "I was just about to call you to hear your voice, I miss you Pooh" I said honestly.
