Tumblr media
Chapter 6
Tobias Carrick didn’t expect to meet his long lost friend turned foe today, certainly not under the humongous roof of the third richest man in America, competing against him for the sake of saving his hospital. Yet, here he was, staring at Ethan Ramsey in flesh and blood. He looks like he hasn’t aged a day, though the beard and glasses make him look more matured than he acts to be.
Hirata and Mirani following Ramsey like puppies as usual. He recognises the other doctor, from their encounter at the deli a few days back. He did not learn her name, but was shocked to see her as a part of one of the most prestigious diagnostic team in the country. A resident in her second year missing out trivial diagnosis like cyanosis, did Edenbrook and Ethan Ramsey forget how to teach?
He was enjoying this little arrangement that Bloom came up with, never missing out on a chance to one-up Ethan Ramsey. But when his “friend” stormed out the heavy wooden doors he was not surprised but disappointed. He was rather shocked when his protege followed him without thinking twice.
Before following Mr. Bloom inside he could see Ramsey and Bose in a heated argument through the glass panels. He was surprised further because in all the years he had known Ethan Ramsey he had never seen an attending talk to him that way, much less a resident, had his “friend” changed that much? His surprise continued when Ramsey came back for a chance to crack this case, but he didn’t let his face show. Does this mere resident have special persuasion powers? He decided to put his head in the game instead, because he was playing to see his “friend” lose.
Tumblr media
Chapter 8
The sun shone brightly, the smell of hot dogs and beers engulfing the atmosphere this was one day in a year, Tobias pretends he followed his childhood dream of playing softball professionally. The doctors from both the hospitals mingled about, he had so many people to greet but in the sea of known and unknown people he certainly didn’t expect Ethan Ramsey to be there.
He has been going against Edenbrook for almost half a decade and never in all those years had he ever seen or ever expected the infamous Dr. Ramsey to grace them with his presence. What changed? He thought and almost immediately saw Meera Bose beside Ethan.
She was a decent player he thought, throwing the first pitch and being responsible for Tobias Carrick’s out was enough proof of that. But he couldn’t ignore the small smile at the corner of his “friend’s” lips whenever Bose threw a perfect pitch.
Old habit’s die hard and Tobias thought rubbing the case of Stephanie Hill while grabbing a water was the perfect plan. He raised an eyebrow when the young resident said “paitent care isn’t a game.” Good to know Ramsey passed down his virtues to his residents. But the fire he saw in Bose’s eyes on mentioning her friend’s betrayal mirrored the fire he had witnessed in his own “friend’s” eyes more than ten years ago due to a different betrayal.
The fight had grown heated but when Ethan took a protective stance in front of Meera giving Terrance a death threat Tobias was astounded. He had known this man for a very long time, was Ramsey falling for her? Because he hadn’t seen him this defensive since… before he could finish that thought, chaos broke free.
The final innings could have gone better, but one thing that always set Carrick apart from Ramsey was the ability to accept defeat. He watched as Bose ran towards the Edenbrook clan, her friends and colleague wrapping her up. As he turned to leave he watched Ethan join the crowd his eyes soft on Meera’s browns a playful smile on his lips, hands brushing lightly. Tobias’s earlier suspicion returned and as a diagnostician he thought he had an answer, but as one of Ethan Ramsey’s oldest “friend” he could do with some more evidence.
Tumblr media
Chapter 9
Logging into his tablet, Tobias looked suspiciously at the recent activity. Ethan Ramsey, at Kenmore? He didn’t have any ongoing research projects and Ethan is not the type of man who likes to take an afternoon walk around the neighborhood.
“Doctor, the patient is ready for you,” the nurse called. Tobias nodded, opening his new patient chart and getting to work, making a mental note of catching up with Ramsey before he leaves the premises.
Tobias stopped Dr. Simpson in the middle of his presentation, was that Meera Bose? He rushed out of the patient room following her still not believing his eyes. But when he saw Mirani with her he knew something was up. Three members of the Edenbrook diagnostic team cannot be behind enemy lines at the same time co-inccidently. Calling security Tobias makes a run for it.
The two doctors make a narrow escape and he comes out just in time to see his “friend” zoom away from under his nose.
“Well played Ramsey, we’ll get you next time.”
Tumblr media
Chapter 11
The news of Senator Ed and and his aide had spread like wildfire. Transfer patients from Edenbrook kept Tobias fairly busy, but he didn’t know why his thoughts drifted back to Meera.
“How was she doing?”
“Did they have any answers at all?”
“Is she not going to make it?”
“How was… how was Ethan doing?”
Tobias found himself choking on his own breath. In need of fresh air, he put down his tablet and took shelter in a supply closet. He doesn’t remember when was the last time he was here. More unpleasant thoughts circled his brain, Tobias punched the door out of frustration and helplessness. The door opened, and Aurora came in, the frustration and helplessness reflected on her face made Tobias decide that it was time to set aside all the age-old differences between him and Ethan and their respective hospitals.
Nothing less than a crowd was formed in front of the patient room. All of Meera’s friends, family and well-wishers stood by her side. All of them dejected and crestfallen. Ethan Ramsey stood at the forefront his heart burdened with melancholy, but too stubborn to show it in his face. Tobias had known his “friend” long enough to see right through the facade.
Tobias straightened his face, “and you won’t be alone.”
Ramsey’s face shifts from shock to thankful in a mili second and Tobias stops him right there. Everyone says their goodbye one by one and follows Baz and June into the lab. Tobias notices his “friend” not making a move.
“Shouldn’t we call Dr. Ramsey?” one of the doctors suggest.
“No. He should be there with her,” Tobias smiled. “This is where he will do the most good. Besides, I know what I am doing.” He flashes his signature smile only to receive an eye roll from Hirata.
Tobias monitored the sodium-potassium level, no this won’t work, he shaked his head. Facing another dead end, he decided its better to take a small break before getting back to work. He exited the lab and walked towards Meera’s room. The corridor lights had been dimmed, he felt like a ghost wandering the halls. He stopped in front of the window, only to see Ethan all suited up, holding Meera as close as he humanly could with the plastic barrier in between them.
He needed no more confirmations. He was sure his “friend” had fallen head over heels for Meera. It had been a long time since he had been this candid with someone, it had been so long since someone had broken all of his walls and reached for his heart and it had been so long since Ethan’s heart had shattered. Tobias was immature back then and partly responsible for what had happened but today he was not going to let that happen a second time. With renewed determination Tobias walked back towards the lab.
Just like Tobias had guessed, Ethan was still there in his hazmat suit helping Meera vomit into a basin when they returned the next morning. The child-like grin on his face on hearing about the antidote was unlike him. Tobias explained the chemistry behind their discovery, expecting atleast a couple questions from Ethan but the absence of that made him realize that he was a changed man. The sheer delight on Ethan Ramsey’s face as he administered the serum was one of a kind. He and Meera locked eyes, a silent understanding between them.
The waiting part was the worst, but once the latest lab results showed no trace of toxin in Bose’s bloodstream the entire team gathered around the patient room. Ethan sprinted through the doors, and Meera flew into his arms, tears breaking free. Ethan looked outside holding Tobias’ gaze for a little longer than necessary, while Tobias returned his signature smirk.
Tumblr media
Chapter 17
The rumor mill had a field day with the news that the great Ethan Ramsey had kissed a resident, Meera Bose in an atrium full of people. While the betting pool regarding how long they were dating and whether Meera slept her way to the top were the hottest topic in and around the hospital, Tobias Carrick was just content that his diagnostic skills remained undefeated and he still knew his "friend" through and through.
Tumblr media
Thank you so much if you have read till here, it means the world to me. Hope to see you go on other different adventures with me, Ethan and Meera, till then sending love and hugs your way! ❤️

Looking After You
Tumblr media
Pairing: Ethan Ramsey x f!MC (Arundhati Kulkarni)
Characters: Ethan Ramsey, Arundhati Kulkarni
Word Count: 706 words
Rating: General
Summary: Ethan looks after a sick Arundhati.
Category: Fluff
Tagging: @choicesficwriterscreations, @openheartfanfics
Perma: @jamespotterthefirst, @quixoticdreamer16
Ethan x Arundhati: @rookiemartin
"Such a pleasant day. Spring is quite beautiful. If I get done early, I'll spend some time in the garden with Ethan," Aru thought as she walked towards her office for a meeting with the diagnostic team.
When she reached her office, she felt her throat itch and a bit sore. Fortunately, she had a few lozenges in her bag, and she popped one in her mouth before the meeting, not thinking much of it.
The following morning, at 3:00 am, Aru woke up with a blocked nose, headache, and cough.
Ethan, a light sleeper, also woke up when he heard Aru groan while trying her best to get some rest but failing, as was evident by her constant turning.
He took a minute to realise what was happening and made a cup of tea to soothe her.
"Ethan, could you please sleep in the guest room? Or let me go there? I don't want to get you infected because of me," Aru said while sipping some warm tea. 
"No, honey. I'm not going to do that. I want to look after you, okay? I know how you are and that you won't look after yourself. So, let me take care of you", he replied while rummaging in their medicine kit for a Tylenol. Aru eagerly took the pill from Ethan when he found it, hoping to get some relief.
The next day, she woke up quite later than usual and panicked that she would get late for work. Just when she started to rush to get ready, Ethan chimed in, "Aru, I have requested a holiday for both of us cause you are sick and I don't want others to get infected, especially your patients. I'll stay at home for today to take care of you, my love."
"That’s very sweet of you, Ethan, but I will be fine in a day or two, I don't want you to ignore your work."
"I'm not ignoring my work by looking after you, Aru. In fact, I'm doing both."
"Okay, love, thanks a lot for taking care of me."
A while later, Aru sat down with her blanket in front of the TV while Ethan made her favourite tomato soup and watched her comfort movies, Welcome and Om Shanti Om.
After finishing her delicious soup, she went to gargle with warm salt water and a quick bath under instructions from Ethan while he made her favourite comfort food.
When she came back, Ethan gave her a cup of kadha, whose recipe he had procured from her mom on a visit.
Ethan then checked her temperature because he found her hands and forehead cold.
He realised she had a fever, so he got her some Tylenol and asked her to rest until lunch.
She protested, saying, "It's just a little fever, I'm fine. There's no need for medicine. Let my body fight it out."
"Aru, my love, you have a fever. I want you to get better as soon as possible, which won't happen if you don't take your medicine," he said.
"Okay....if you get well soon, we'll go out to eat some chaat," Ethan continued when he got no response from Aru.
"E, are you trying to bribe me? Because this is new stuff. I have only seen you do this to little kids when they don't listen."
"Well, I have to find a way for you to ingest your meds."
"You know it's nothing major, right? I'll be fine in a few hours even without the pill."
"I know that, honey. But I can't bear to see you like this, even if it is a minor thing."
"Ethan! This is nothing to worry about, and the doctor in you knows that."
"I know that very well, my darling."
"Then why are you worrying?"
"Because I hate to see you like this, in pain! I love you, Aru, and this is too much for me to bear."
On hearing this, she could barely contain his happiness and moved to kiss him, but she suddenly moved away.
"Ethan, I don't want to infect you."
"Sorry, Aru, I understand," he said, as planted a soft and assuring kiss on her forehead, "come on, let's eat Rajma Chawal."

Something Yellow
Book: Open Heart
Pairing: Ethan x Haley
Category: fluff
Word Count: 591
Premise: Ethan is wearing an unusual accessory :)
Tumblr media
"What was that?"
The question slipped out before Haley was able to think twice. Something weirdly yellow flashing from under the hem of Ethan's sleeve caught her eyes when she was about to exit the office.
"What was what?"
"On your wrist."
"Nothing." Ethan replied sternly as he pulled his sleeve over his wrist.
She quirked an eyebrow,
"I saw something on your wrist, and that did not look like the rolex you always wear."
"I have 12 different watches. I don't always wear that Rolex you're referring to."
"I know, but I also know your impeccable taste and I'm pretty sure if that was one of your luxury watches you wouldn't have tried to hide it so fiercely."
Despite his best efforts to remain calm and collected, the blush on his face was getting more and more severe by the second.
"Why don't you mind your own business rookie?"
"Oh come on, let me see! I won't tell anyone, I promise."
With the twinkle in her brown eyes, widened by curiosity, and her mischievous grin, Haley was looking far too adorable for him to resist.
"Your resistance is only making it worse you know."
"let it go!" Ethan grunted as He put the hand under investigation in his lab coat pocket and pinched the bridge of his nose with the other.
"come on! Please, let me see what is it that making the Dr. Ramsey blush like this!"
"I'm not blushing!" He scoffed.
"You look like a tomato!" She snorted, "A very... wise and respectable...tomato." She added carefully in response to Ethan glaring at her.
Haley took a tentative step forward, stretching her hand towards him, and then shot him one of those looks that always made him give in instantly, no matter what she was asking for. Whether she wanted a cop of coffee or for him to jump off the Empire State Building, he would've done it for her. This time was no exception.
"Oh my god!! Oh dear!" Haley's attempt to suppress her laughter as she saw the yellow accessory on Ethan's wrist was completely unsuccessful.
"Oh Christ!" Ethan rolled his eyes.
"Why are you wearing a SpongeBob SquarePants watch??"
"A 7 year old patient gave it to me as a present and I promised him to wear it all the time. Not that it's any of your business."
He responded in a quiet voice, however, not quiet enough to hide the vulnerability in his tone.
Haley looked at him in awe. Her lips were parted slightly, not being able to turn her emotions into words.
"Ethan, You are the sweetest."
Before letting her logic hold her back, Haley lovingly cupped his cheek. The stubble tickled her finger tips pleasantly, giving her butterflies.
"I just... care about my patients. He's been my patient for over a year and he's in the surgery right now."
"You're worried about him."
The older doctor averted his eyes and nodded silently.
Without another word, Haley wrapped him in tight hug. Ethan nuzzled her hair, inhaling the familiar orange blossom scent.
Their moment were interrupted by the knock on his door, making them spring apart.
"Dr. Ramsey, Adrian Cooper is out of surgery."
"Thank you Sara."
Haley looked at him with a tender smile,
"Wanna go see him?"
"Yeah let's go."
With that the attending bolted out of the door, leaving Haley behind.
"What a kind heart he has, and how hard he tries to look like an ass."
She shook her head with an amused smile and ran after him.

A Valentine Engagement
Premise: Cassie and Ethan's big news makes for front page headlines in the society papers.
Book: Open Heart (post series) Pairing: Ethan Ramsey x F!MC (Cassie Valentine) Format: Edit/Manip + News
I've been wanting to do an engagement photoshoot for Ethan & Cassie for ages (her family insisted). I originally thought I'd commission artwork, but decided to make a manip instead and write a society news story.
Text can be hard to read on images, so the copy is included below the cut along with the original photo.
Published in Newport Société:
The Valentine Clan is expanding by one and it’s a Rhode Island affair.
Newport royalty, Asher and Myra Valentine, announced the engagement of their granddaughter, Dr. Cassandra (Cassie) Elizabeth Valentine (31) — daughter of Robert and Olivia Valentine — to Providence-born Dr. Ethan Jonah Ramsey (39), son of Mr. Alan Ramsey.
The couple met four years ago while working at Boston’s Edenbrook Hospital, where Dr. Valentine is currently Head of Diagnostics and Dr. Ramsey is Chief of Medicine.
By all accounts it was a fairytale romance and now a whirlwind wedding. The couple plans to wed in an intimate ceremony with close family and friends on the grounds of the Valentine Estate on Oceanside in July.
Even though their permanent residence is in Arlington, VA along with The Hudson Group global headquarters, the Valentines have been part of the Newport establishment since the 1800s, owning one of the few legacy homes still in the original family’s care.

Snow Wars (Ethan x MC)
Book: Open Heart, beyond Pairing: Dr. Ethan Ramsey x F!MC (Dr. Lilac Allende-Ramsey) Word count: 1K Rating/ Warning: T/ Reference to adult situations
Premise: The Ramseys face off against the Carricks and Lahelas in an epic snowball fight. 
Context: My MC’s sister (Laurel) ends up married to Tobias. They have a daughter together (Daisy). Diego is Laurel’s son from a previous relationship. Bryce marries a fellow surgeon (Ximena) and has twin girls. 
Tumblr media
The silence ringing through the lonely, snow-covered field was almost eerie. The vast, snowy expanse held no signs of the metaphorical carnage that had taken place there only minutes ago. At one end, behind an impressive barrier of snow, hid the Ramseys. They huddled together, whispering in hushed tones.
“... We'll have the element of surprise.” Ethan was saying, his tone very serious.
Lilac, meanwhile, struggled to contain her amusement.
“What?”
“Babe, that wall you and Jonah built is not nearly tall enough to cover you. You're too tall. The Carricks can definitely see us.”
As she spoke, their son busied himself with packing even more snow atop the barrier. He took a step back, admiring his work. His sister, Dolores, watched with interest, prodding the base with a branch.
“Jonah insisted on building the snow wall,” Ethan explained. “I'm supposed to be the shield.”
Lilac's expression melted, thoroughly moved.
“That is so sweet,” she cooed.
Before he could wave off the comment, she pulled him in for a brief but fiery kiss. When they separated, she flashed him a meaningful look that was all promise and fluttering lashes. It made Ethan suddenly hot in his snow jacket.
“Alright, let's beat them already so we can go inside and drink hot cocoa,” Lilac announced with newfound determination.
Both of her children perked up at that.
“Mommy, can I help you make it?” Dolores asked.
“Of course, baby. After we beat Aunt Laurel and Uncle Tobias, okay?”
“How about Diego and Daisy?” Jonah asked.
“If we win, they can drink hot cocoa, too.”
“They shouldn't have to pay for the sins of their parents,” Ethan added, much to the confusion of his children.
Lilac laughed, patting her husband's forearm. "Alright, let's get this over with.”
From the opposite end of the field, Tobias watched. He chuckled, returning to his spot behind their shelter. They had chosen Naveen's car, which was parked nearest to the forest entrance.
“I don't know who Ethan thinks he's fooling. They built a three foot wall for a six foot five giant. Pathetic.”
Laurel snorted.
“Maybe Ethan's the wall.”
Tobias scoffed.
“You’re right. It'd be on brand for Ethan to be ridiculously noble.”
His wife arched a dark brow at him. “Are you saying you wouldn't shield us?”
Tobias chuckled. “I would in a heartbeat, baby. But the thing is that I don't have to because I plan to win.”
From beside him, his step-son, Diego, and his daughter, Daisy, diligently formed snowballs. They were surrounded by more than they'd ever need. Tobias chuckled as he surveyed the ammunition.
“Excellent job, you two. The Ramseys don't stand a chance.”
“What's the plan?” Laurel asked.
“We're sending Daisy out to the middle of the field as a distraction—”
“Your plan is to sacrifice our daughter?”
“Lilac and Ethan would never hurt a hair on her head. By the time they even realize what's happening, though, Diego and I will have gone around the cabin. We'll sneak up behind them while they're distracted and attack.”
“What am I doing?”
“You're staying here to get them as they try to run away.”
“That's…” Laurel trailed off, thinking of the words.
“...Genius,” Diego supplied.
“Hot,” Laurel finished when neither of her children were listening.
Tobias winked at her.
Before anyone could move, however, a snowball exploded against the car.
“Hey! It's supposed to be a ceasefire!”
From across the field, the Ramseys huddled close as a snowball hit Jonah's wall.
“I thought we said ceasefire?” Lilac asked.
“When has Tobias ever followed the rules?”
More snowballs rained around them.
“It's Uncle Bryce!”
Lilac glanced up in time to see Bryce entering the middle of the field, flanked by his own family. They wasted no time, forming snowballs at impressive speed and chucking them at the hiding families. The Lahelas laughed at the stunned looks their arrival had evoked.
“Cheater!” Lilac and Tobias yelled in unison from their respective hiding places.
Bryce, clad in polarized sunglasses, grinned his signature smile. He opened his mouth, no doubt to say something smug, but the words were cut off by the snowball that exploded against his chest, courtesy of Ethan. It was the surgeon’s turn to stare agape at the Ramseys.
“What? I thought we were fr—”
“There are no friends here,” Ethan said calmly. He threw another snowball, this time hitting Bryce’s shoulder.
“Babe!” Lilac said through her laughter. “It’s just a game.”
“A game I intend to win.”
And with that, all hell broke loose. Chunks of snow flew in all directions accompanied by shrieks of laughter. Everyone scattered around the field, all semblance of teams and family forgotten. Bryce shouted something about every man, woman, and child for themselves before hitting his wife with snow.
“You'll pay for that, Lahela!” she vowed.
This betrayal earned her the support of Lilac and Laurel. All three chased a laughing Bryce, their daughters joining their mothers in solidarity. Soon, the battle became girls versus boys.
“Got you right where I want you, Ramsey!” Lilac declared from above Ethan.
She had impressively knocked him over during a surprise attack and now she straddled him. He didn't oppose his predicament at all.
“I don't mind,” he told her in a whisper. “I like you on top.”
Lilac smirked.
“I know that by the way you always beg me—”
Her words were cut off by a snowball hitting her back.
“Seducing the enemy is against the rules,” Tobias shouted.
Lilac threw him a glare. “You're just saying that because your flirting didn't stop your wife from hitting you on the head.”
Just then, a snowball hit Tobias squarely on the back of the head. It was thrown, not by his wife, but by Lilac's daughter. It was retaliation for Tobias hitting her mother only minutes before.
“You'll pay for that, Lolly,” Tobias laughed, chasing the laughing little girl around.
The battle then shifted to children versus adults. This time, however, the parents made a show of surrendering quite dramatically at the feet of their laughing children. By the time it was finally over, everyone was sopping wet and exhausted.
“So much for winning,” Lilac said an hour later. 
They gathered inside Naveen's cabin, clutching steaming cups of hot cocoa. 
Ethan shrugged, glancing over at his children. They huddled with their cousins by the fire, recounting the events of their snow fight. The group laughed after an exaggerated retelling of the finale.
“I’ll take losing to our children over losing to Tobias or Bryce.”

I feel like Tatum would have the best comeback for asshole partners asking for 'the husband stitch'
Oh, anon... the evil laugh I just did when I read this! You know she probably has a book of comebacks. This might not be her absolute best, but I hope this one will give you a smile. Thank you so, so much for the inspiration! 💜
Tumblr media
Summary: Tatum is called into Ethan's office to discuss her colorful interaction with a patient's husband.
Word count: ~1120
Warning: Mature audience; language; medical discussion
A/N: Some characters and plot points belong to our friends at Pixelberry; this is not beta'd, so please excuse my errors.
~🖤~
A deafening silence plagues Ethan’s glass-enclosed office. Anxiously tapping his fingers on his wooden desk, the chief of medicine glares first at his watch before staring at the door.  Growing impatient for his next meeting, he rests his elbow on his chair, his fingertips massaging his closed eyes.
Where is she?
The door angrily swings open, the abrupt clatter demanding Ethan's attention. In waddles one of his providers, donned in fuchsia scrubs and a pink and yellow Power Rangers scrub cap. She storms up to Ethan's desk, placing her hands on her hips.
"You wanted to see me?" She huffs.  
Ethan motions to a chair behind her, inviting her to sit down. Raising an eyebrow, she looks at her watch. Letting out an irritating scoff, she flops into the seat and crosses her arms, her eyes locked on the crystal gaze of her boss.
"Dr. Erikson, I–"
"'Dr. Erikson'? Really, Ethan Jonah?" Tatum growls at her husband.
"Dr. Erikson," he enunciates louder, his eyebrows furrowing. "I assume you know why you're here."
Tatum lours. "Oh, please enlighten me, Dr. Ramsey."
"I got a call about a Mr. Flanagan being upset with his wife’s care–"
Tatum blows a raspberry with her lips, rolling her eyes in disbelief.
Ethan takes a moment, staring at his defiant wife before continuing. "Apparently you–" he picks up a notepad with a handwritten list, "--went against the patient’s wishes and you made an inappropriate comment about the husband's–"
Tatum interrupts with a sardonic chuckle. "'Against the patient’s wishes'? Are you fucking kidding me?"
Ethan closes his eyes, exhaling heavily. Hormones, it's just hormones. He sits back in his chair, crossing a leg over his knee before folding his hands together. "Okay… how about you tell me what happened?"
"Gladly," she smirks, her face turning crimson with rage. She stands up, readjusting her snug scrub top before pacing. "That man is an asshole." Ethan stifles his smile, but gestures for her to keep going. "I had mentioned in the clinic that this baby was measuring large for gestational age. I believed–and I was fucking right–her pelvimetry could handle a vaginal delivery, which is exactly what she wanted–and she got. But I told her that I would strongly recommend pain management in the form of an epidural."
Ethan casually shrugs his shoulders. "Okay. So?"
"Well, Mr. Macho's–" Tatum deepens her voice, rolling her shoulders forward to pretend like she has big muscles, "--mother and grandmothers and aunts never needed an epidural, and they were--" Tatum air quotes, "--'weaker than his wife, so that's not an option'."
Ethan bows his head, holding a finger over his mouth to hide his grin. Oh, that poor fucker…
"So, guess who came in 6 cm dilated, crying for an epidural?" Tatum stares at Ethan, giving a told-ya-so grin, nodding sarcastically. "Yeah," she slaps her palm on the desk in anger. "This asshole finally agrees to let her have pain medicine in her IV." 
"Well, what did Mrs. Flanagan want?"
"Oh," Tatum flings her arms in the air, "whatever her douche-y husband wanted." Tatum grows quiet, watching the everyday hospital scramble through Ethan’s office window. "So, of course, the IV pain medicine barely gets her to relax because her labor is progressing rapidly, and it's time to push." She sighs dramatically.
"Out of control?"
"Reagan from The Exorcist had more control," she shakes her head as Ethan purses his lips, trying his best not to laugh. "I did everything in my power to support her perineum; I tried my best to get her to gain control of herself and just," she exhales quickly, her body deflating. "Luckily, she didn't blow out her bottom; that kid was almost 10 pounds with a 15-and-a-half inch head. And virtually no molding."
"Damn."
"Pssh, yeah," she walks back towards the desk. "But still, it wouldn't have been so bad if that dick hadn't prevented her from getting an epidural."  Tatum gingerly lowers herself back into the chair, calming herself down as she cradles her head in her hand.
"Speaking of dicks," Ethan starts, standing from his desk and sauntering to his personal coffee machine. "Mr. Flanagan said you made a comment about his?"
Tatum tosses her head back, roaring with evil laughter. "So, get this," she wiggles herself forward to sit up straight. "While I'm repairing his poor wife's fileted vagina, that asshole dared to ask me to put in a husband stitch." Tatum rolls her eyes, her voice becoming sardonically whiney. "Oh, you're so funny and original, you fucking asswipe!"
Ethan mixes in some hazelnut creamer in with the cup of coffee as he glances back to his frustrated wife. "A what? 'Husband stitch'?"
"You know," she raises an eyebrow, "to supposedly tighten things up." She growls to herself, shaking her head in disgust. 
Ethan nods, remembering the uncouth term. "So, he asks for it, to which you said?"
"I explained to him that his wife's vagina is a perfect and normal postpartum size."
"Tate?"
"And," Tatum guiltily grins, "I simply observed the crotch area of his pants."
"And?"
"And I may have mentioned that... he would need way more than a stitch to accommodate for his small size."
"Tatum Ramsey!" Ethan busts out laughing as she innocently shrugs. He saunters to stand in front of her, leaning up against his desk. "Jesus fucking Christ, woman," he mutters.
"I'm not sorry," she states matter-of-factly.
"Oh, I know you aren't," Ethan chuckles, raising his eyebrows.
"So, what now?" She stands up, placing her hands on her hips. "Am I in trouble? Getting written up? What?"
"Nope, none of that." Tatum gives a curious look to her husband. He stands up, inching closer to her. "I just wanted to hear the story from you," he chuckles, smiling broadly. He slinks an arm endearingly around her shoulders. "Here," he hands her the coffee, "you need this."
She sighs, frowning, "But I've already had my one cup for the day this morning–"
Ethan tenderly places his large hand on her blossoming belly before rubbing it tenderly. "I think this little one is going to be just fine if you have an extra cup today."
"Rams, I–"
"Plus, I'd really like for my child to be born to a mother not locked behind bars." Ethan smirks. "Drink the damn coffee. Doctor's orders."
"You're lucky you're cute," Tatum attempts to scowl, but a thankful grin creeps across her face. She takes a sip of the piping hot cup of Joe and lets out a euphoric moan. "Oh my God, how do women go without a drop of this for nine months?"
Ethan chuckles, pressing his lips to her temple. "Probably the same ones with partners that request a husband stitch."

Not the Life of This Party
Tumblr media
Book: Open Heart (Post-Series) Pairing: Ethan Ramsey x F!MC (Kaycee) Rating: Teen Words: 794 Summary: Ethan gets Kaycee hot and bothered when he tells her he's made a commitment for them. Kaycee loves him, but she's not about to do this. A/N 1: Based on this Reverse Uno from @dr-colossal-pita (who doesn't know the date, lol), the original prompt is highlighted in the text below. Participating in @choicesmonthlychallenge - Flufftober - Laughter
CHARACTERS BELONG TO PIXELBERRY STUDIOS
Kaycee’s eyes were fixed on the numbers above the elevator door. Her jaw tense, chin jutted out, and foot tapping frantically, this contraption couldn’t get her to their condo quickly enough. The moment the door opened, she raced down the hallway without a word to Ethan… until they got inside.
Her purse met the couch with a furious thump as she marched over to the sideboard to pour herself a drink of his Scotch. His expensive Scotch. The second he walked through the door, she turned around with the fury of a thousand suns, and everything she held in on the ride home came barreling out.
“I can’t believe you!” She fumed. “How did you even think this was OK! To suggest that I….”
“Kaycee, I….” he attempted to interrupt, but she wouldn't have it.
“No! I don’t want to hear a reason or an excuse! I swear to God, Ethan! Do you even know me?”
As he hung his coat in the hall closet, she was too livid to see the twisted smirk on his lips. This started as a prank, and a prank it was. But seeing how her nostrils instantly flared and the fire filling her eyes was so amusing, he pushed it… but now, it wondered if it was a little too far. Still, that didn’t stop him from toying with her just a little more.
“I don’t care the reason! I don’t care who you promised! And I don’t care that he was your father’s best friend! Though, I’m really appalled and intend to speak to Alan. Friends, what that man!!! Are you kidding!”
She downed the rest of his Scotch in one gulp and plopped her glass on the counter, mumbling incessantly under her breath. “… have a reputation to uphold… doesn’t even think… people at the clinic would never… I just can’t believe….”
“What if sweetened the deal….”
“NO!” she said, “Not for a million dollars, Ethan! You couldn’t even pay me to do this!”
“Not even for me?”
“Not even for you! You can attend alone! And you will tell people why I am in attendance because if you don’t, I will!”
“Well, luckily for me, I won’t have to endure any of that because I’m not going either.”
“Wait! What? You told me you promised we’d both be there! Now neither of us has to attend?”
Ethan could no longer contain the laughter that had been building in his chest, and Kaycee knew she had been played at once. Her shoulders went slack with relief, but her eyes remained wild. She picked up the nearest dishrag and hurled it in his direction.
“Ethan Jonah Ramsey! Was this all a joke?”
“Do you seriously believe I would do anything to support the likes of Senator Cornell? After what that scoundrel has done to defund healthcare for the most vulnerable members of our State? With the draconian measures, he backs on the floor?” Ethan removed his tie with such nonchalance one would suspect his wife was not still seething on the other side of the room. “Come on, Kaycee,” he grinned. “Do you know me at all?”
“Then why... why would you….”
“It was a joke,” he smiled. “Tobias and I were having a drink, and we overheard Thorne saying he was hosting the fundraiser and looking for speakers. Tobias joked and said I should sign the two of us up and….”
“So, Tobias put you up to this.”
“Not exactly put me up, and let’s just say I succumbed to peer pressure.”
"And you dragged Alan's name into this...."
"I had to make you believe it was true," he winked.
“And you continued? Even when you saw how irate I was? Why?”
An impish grin spread on his face as he removed the cufflinks from his dress shirt.
“Truth? Or a lie?”
Kaycee crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes at him, and he chuckled as he approached her with caution.
“Fine, the truth.," he grinned." You look adorable when you get that little line between your brows when you’re really, really mad!”
“Ethan! You can get that effect by telling me we’re attempting to cut carbs for the week! You didn’t have to….”
Her words came to a halt as his arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her flush against him as his warm lips found that sensitive spot under her ear.
“The second reason,” he whispered between gently sucking on her neck.
“Yes,” she gasped, fully falling victim to his plan.
“Make-up sex. Hot, steamy, make-up sex.”
“What if I’m no longer mad at you,” she giggled as he unzipped her dress. 
“I’ll put you on Cornell’s mailing list.”
Kaycee pulled on his tie, dragging him to her level for a heated kiss.
“Oh, now you’re on!”'
____
A/N2: Kaycee is not supporting any political candidate who goes against her personal beliefs for anything. Not even for Ethan. Luckily, they're on the same page. My girl's got standards! lol

When It Rains (Ethan x MC)
Tumblr media
Book: Open Heart Pairing: Dr. Ethan Ramsey x Dr. Marchia Ramsey (F!MC) Premise: A little dance underneath the gentle drizzle. Rating / Category: General / Fluff Warning(s): None Word Count: 384 words Artist: @/artbyainna on Instagram
A plateau of dull grey sat above them, large clouds huddled together as they walked down the narrow streets of Paris. It was quiet down there, with only the discordant rumbling of thunder as their companion, getting louder and louder. As the fresh scent of earthiness galloped with the winds, they are reminded again about the oncoming rain that was about to fall.
The couple quickened their pace, hoping to seek refuge as soon as possible. Warm lights guided them to their next destination—a place that was merely a few meters ahead, couple minutes away.
Yet, they were too late.
Marchia looked up, the dark sky drumming with the anticipation of release. Soon enough, droplets of water poured on to the pavements, singing an enchanting serenade to those who are willing to listen. A harmonic, gentle tune that soothes the mind, mends the soul.
And all of the sudden, she halted.
Her right hand, locked in with his, pulled Ethan’s body to an abrupt stop. He turned to face his wife, thoroughly confused and intrigued to find the reason behind this act.
What he saw, however, took his breath away.
Her rose cheeks gleamed, lips casting a smile that would turn his stomach upside down. Pearls of water run through her gold dusky hair, slowly trickling downwards to reach her dress. The white chiffon material became lightly soaked under the drizzle, translucent, outlining the perfect symmetry of her sylphlike figure.
Surrounded by an ethereal glow, Ethan was blessed with the glorious view of his Queen, the ruler of his heart.
He moved closer, placing one hand on her hips, and another on the nape of her neck. Glued together, his thunderous ocean eyes locked with Marchia, letting himself drown in the depths of her emerald forest—feasting in the irrefutable existence of her beauty.
“Kiss me,” she whispered.
Without any preamble, he granted her simple yet tantalizing wish. His grip around her tightened, then in one swift movement, he swirled her petite body. A short squeal escaped her, followed by her signature giggles. As cliché and cheesy as it sounds, Ethan could not wait to capture her lips and taste her once more.
Because he was all hers, until the end of time.
Tumblr media
A/N: Yes, I’m still seriously in love with this art that Ainna made, and I can’t stop looking at it. No amount of words in the dictionary could describe how freaking obsessed I am with this!!! 🤍��

Precious
Book: Open Heart (post series)
Pairing: Ethan Ramsey x Casey Ramsey
Category: Angsty fluff
Warnings: mentions of a character death, traumatic birth, language.
Summary: The arrival of Hudson Jonah Ramsey.
Disclaimer: Characters belong to Pixelberry.
👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶
June 4th 2025.
Today was Casey’s last day of work before embarking on five months maternity leave. She had received clearance to remain working as far along as she did and she was hopeful to have been able to work remotely for another week but Ethan had put his foot down. He wanted Casey to rest and enjoy some time for herself before Hudson came along. In all honesty Casey was looking forward to the pregnancy to end, even though they had no significant issues, she was done. The lack of sleep due to Hudson kicking or just general discomfort was really getting to her. The nursery was set and all that was needed was Hudson. Casey had started researching ways to bring on labour naturally much to Ethan’s dismay.
“I am anxious to meet him too but surely wouldn’t it be better to let nature take its course?”
“Yes Ethan, you do not have to carry him, get your insides kicked to high heaven, bladder used as a trampoline…”
Ethan cuts her off with a searing kiss. “Hudson will come when he is good and ready.” He whispers in her ear before kissing her.
The next week flies by. Casey starts to get the occasional bout of braxton hick contractions which she finds frustrating more than anything.
The second week drags. Casey’s discomfort level rises. She is more and more anxious for the pregnancy to end. On the evening of the 27th June Casey starts getting contractions. Ethan surprises himself by how calm he is. At 11pm they arrive at the hospital, Casey’s contractions are still seven minutes apart but she is starting to feel nauseous so they are advised to come in. The observations that are done show nothing amiss and Casey is then offered some pain relief. The pain relief works for a time and the labour steadily progresses. At about three am though, the nausea comes back and it is worse. So much so that even Ethan is concerned. Dr Watson comes in and does some more observations. Casey’s blood pressure is starting to spike and the baby is showing early signs of distress. Ethan starts to spiral. The memories of Delores and how she went into full eclampsia surfacing. Try as she might, she was not able to get Ethan to calm down. Casey was stressed also.
“Ethan, I get why you are spiraling but you are no good to me like this.”
This makes Ethan stop and pay attention for which Dr Watson is relieved. Ethan’s medical brain kicks in. Dr Watson advises that they have two options, continue under more stricter observations or have an emergency c-section now. After going through briefly the pros and cons Casey emphatically states that she wants a c-section now. Ethan is quietly relieved that Casey chose this option. Casey is prepped for surgery and Ethan accompanies her.
The c-section goes without a hitch and not long after Hudson Jonah is delivered, Casey’s blood pressure stabilises. While Casey is being stitched up, Hudson is taken away to be weighed and measured and Ethan cut his cord. He is placed on Casey’s chest for some skin to skin time and he starts suckling at Casey’s breast.
Ethan thought the most joyous moment in his life was when Casey said I do but nothing prepared him for the wave of emotion that he was going through. The high and low of their missed miscarriage in 2023, the joy when they found out that this pregnancy stuck and and the sheer relief and joy that they had welcome baby Hudson Jonah to the world. Try as he might, he could not hold back his tears of joy. Casey was exhausted both physically and emotionally but she too was overjoyed. They were eventually taken back to Casey’s room. Ethan stayed with Casey and Hudson. Casey had a well earned rest. Hudson looked so peaceful in his cot. After about an hour, Hudson started to fuss so Ethan picked him up and held him. Hudson calmed down and Ethan spoke to him.
“Welcome to the world Hudson, I am your dad. Both your mother and I are really happy to meet you despite the fright you gave us. We have loved you from when we first found out about you. We both look forward to getting to know you and the man you will become.”
Meanwhile Casey stirred and got even more emotional seeing Ethan holding and talking to baby Hudson.
“Hey Ethan.” She finally says. Ethan is shook from his reverie.
“Did I wake you sweetheart?”
“No, I woke up by myself.” Ethan gives Hudson to her.
“Hey Hudson, I am your mum. Welcome buddy. We already love you so much.” She holds him, looking at him. Ethan sitting beside Casey on the bed and looking longingly at his son. Unbeknownst to both of them Tobias had happened to walk by. He snapped a picture of the moment and sent it to Ethan.
“I never thought I would have seen either of you more in love than in this moment.” Is what he said.
When Ethan finally saw the message he couldn't agree more.
The next five days were a blur of visitors from their friends and Alan as well as Naveen. Casey’s parents were coming a week later which she was thankful for as she wanted some time with Ethan to get into a semblance of a routine. It was exhausting for both of them but neither could be happier that baby Hudson was now, finally in their lives.
Authors note: Hudson is now born. I have no idea what going into natural labour is like so if anyone has read this and said that does not seem right I apologise. I have had preeclampsia myself with my first child from a much earlier relationship and I was in for a c-section the next day. If you made it his far thank you.

Pregnancy and Baby Prompts
Tumblr media
Ethan hears the deafening crash from his office. Without wasting a single beat, he's running toward the source, leaving his work abandoned on the mahogany desk. An alert and panting Jenner meets him in the hallway, as though he was on his way to get Ethan. 
They both rush through the otherwise quiet apartment.  
“Lilac? Are you okay?”
“Fine,” she replies from their bedroom.
When Ethan enters the scene, he locates the source of the crash. The decorative box in which Lilac kept her cosmetics lays in a broken heap on the hardwood floor, colorful powders and liquids spilling everywhere. And at the center of it all, a distraught Lilac on the verge of tears.
“Are you hurt?” Ethan asks, rushing to her side.
Instead of replying, Lilac breaks down with a broken little sob.
“Lilac, what's wrong? Where are you hurt?”
“I'm not—” She chokes on her words and she angrily swipes away tears. “I'm not hurt.”
Ethan is momentarily relieved. “Then what’s the matter,” he asks gently.
“I was trying to clean up to get everything ready for the baby. There is still so much to do and I can’t move!” She gestures impatiently at her protruding belly. “And today has been insane! The grocery store was crowded, it took forever to check out. Then the vet’s office messed up Jenner’s appointment. The washer broke and now—”
More tears spill as she points at the mess on the floor. 
“I haven’t even had a chance to shower yet.”
Ethan listens, throat tight by her distress. At last, Lilac deflates with a long sigh, having vented to her heart’s content. He takes that as his opportunity to gently take her hand.
“Come here,” Ethan tells her, carefully leading her away from the mess and into his arms. “You don’t have to worry about any of those chores. It’s my responsibility to get them done, too.”
“You were busy working.”
“You’re more important,” he assures her without missing a beat. “Nothing will be more important to me than you and Jonah.”
His hand falls to her stomach, his thumb sweeping a repetitive path over the fabric of her shirt. Lilac watches the motion until her breathing returns to normal. When she glances back up at Ethan, their foreheads only inches apart, she gives him a small smile.
“I love you.”
“And I love you,” he returns, kissing the top of her forehead. “Now, go relax in the living room. I’ll clean this up and draw you a bath.”
“What about dinner?”
“Take-Out?”
She laughs, cleaning the last wayward tear from her cheek. 
“Fine, but you can’t judge me.”
“Can’t make any promises. It depends on what you order.”
“Fried chicken.”
“Okay, so far so good.”
“With mashed potatoes.”
“Still normal.”
“And pickles. A whole container the size of your head full of them.”
“There it is.”
“And for dessert I want ice cream. And tons of caramel.”
“Is the caramel for the ice cream or for the chicken?”
“You’ll find out soon enough.”
Ethan drops the act and laughs, leaning in to kiss her. He never thought a heart could hold this much emotion for someone, until a few months ago when they learned of the new addition to their family. Then, as per his custom, he leans down to kiss the top of her belly. 
Tumblr media
Note: I'm just going to write these without overthinking as a writing exercise. Overthinking kills a lot of my WIPs.
Thank you for reading!
