child Au, chapter 1

Ethan Ramsey x f!MC (Chiara Bianchi)

Words: 1000 (more or less)

Summary: In this Au, Chiara had a child during her last year of med school so after that she took a year gap and then did her intern year in New York. The plot of this AU will more or less follow the normal Open Heart plot but Chiara (and her friends) will be residents instead of being intern (so there will some minor changes to the plot).

My masterlist

Chapter 1

Ethan Ramsey was walking down a hallway, looking at a case, when he felt something pulling his coat. Slightly annoyed that his coat got stuck into something, Ethan looked behind himself and noticed that the thing which was tugging him was actually a little girl, around 4 or 5 years old, tears running down her cheeks.

As he saw how distressed the girl looked, he turned around to see if there were other adults in the hallway and, seeing there were none, he crouched down and asked her: “Are you lost?”. She nodded, being too shy to say anything. “I’ll help you find your mum or dad, come with me” Ethan said giving his hand to the girl. The doctor, being used to kids getting lost in the hospital, knew that the first thing he should do was to go to the hospital’s reception. During the short walk Ethan tried to put the kid at ease by doing small talk but the girl only responded with monosyllabic answer so Ethan stopped trying, even though he didn’t even manage to discover her name. At one point they passed in front a vending machine and the girl suddenly stopped, she was looking and pointing at a chocolate bar. Ethan didn’t want to lose time but, when he saw how joyfully the girl looked at the candy, decided to stop. “Do you want the chocolate bar?” Ethan asked “Yes!” answered the girl. The doctor put a dollar into the machine and the bar fell, making a dull sound, Ethan took it and gave it to her; the girl was now smiling and Ethan, seeing her like this, started smiling too. After that they had almost reached the reception, Ethan then asked: “Now that you have cheered up, could you tell me your name?” but before the girl could answer a woman screamed “Giulia, here you are!”. “Mamma!” the girl run towards her mum and gave her a big hug. The woman had golden brown hair, tied up in a pony tail, she was dressed with a pair of jeans and a white shirt, she still looked tense but now that she had her kid in her arms she was smiling; Ethan was watching her and he couldn’t shake of the feeling that he had already seen her somewhere. “Mamma, the doctor bought me chocolate” Giulia said and at that point the woman locked eyes with Ethan and started walking towards him. “Thank you for taking care of my kid, and thank you for the chocolate” the woman said, with a slight accent in her voice that Ethan couldn’t exactly recognise “You should be more careful; the hospital can be dangerous for a kid” “Yes I know, I was here to get my doctor’s badge and while I was filling out a form she run away without saying anything and when I noticed she was already gone. I wanted to look for her but the nurses told me it was better for me to wait here” “Well yes, it’s protocol to bring lost children here. Wait did you say doctor’s badge?” Ethan asked, raising an eyebrow. “Yes” Ines, who was sitting at the desk, answered, suddenly joying the conversation, “she is the new resident, Chiara Bianchi” Chiara Bianchi, that’s why Ethan felt like he had already met her, he had personally selected her application, now, after meeting Giulia, he understood why there was a year-long gap in her resume. “Well, I should get going, after all I’ve already lost enough time” Ethan said ,then he looked at the girl and smiled “Goodbye Giulia, don’t run away from your mum next time” and, looking at Chiara, he added: “ I’ll see you for your first shift Rookie” , he turned around but before he went too far Chiara said “Wait I didn’t catch your name Doctor …” “Ramsey. Dr. Ramsey” “as in Ethan Ramsey?” Chiara asked, her eyes wide open “Yes” he said and walked away. When Ethan was at a safe distance Chiara turned to Ines and said “I can’t believe that just happened, it was terrible” “It’s ok Ethan is always hard on new doctors, at least he was nice to your daughter” Ines answered “But I lost Giulia at work, on my first day! And if that wasn’t enough she was found by no other than my medical inspiration: Dr. Ramsey” “Well if it’s of any consolation: there are so many new doctors every year that he might not even remember you next time you meet” “Let’s hope so” Chiara said.

After getting her badge Chiara and Giulia went back to their apartment. The woman started cooking and, while waiting for the water to boil, she was filling out Giulia’s application to Kindergarten. “What are you doing mamma?” “Just doing a couple of things for your new school, sweetie, are you excited for it?” “Yes” Giulia said but she didn’t seem too convinced “do you think I’ll make many friends?” “Oh honey, of course you’ll make many friends, you’re the sweetest kids there is” Chiara said and gave her a hug, “we will also have to find a new baby-sitter…” “But I liked the last one” Giulia pouted. “Yes, I know Giulia but it’s the price of moving to a new city, look on the bright side tough: now that we live in Boston you’ll spend more time with your grandparents” “Yay!” Giulia made a big smile. An hour after Giulia was in her bed and Chiara was reading her a story. When she noticed that her daughter was already asleep she gave her a kiss on her forehead and then whispered “I really hope it will be easier for us in Boston”.

Looking After You

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."

Dolores - Part 1: Mission frogpossible

~Ethan, you’ll float too~

Book: Open Heart

Pairing: Ethan x F!MC

Rate: fluff (only the f-word)

Song: Closer (Lyrics) from Nine Inch Nails

Summary: Casey and Ethan go on a mission to find the stuffed frog for Dolores and her baby.

Soon, Casey and Ethan are in the staff lot, sliding into Ethan's luxury sedan. "Woa, this is a great car!" She says in awe, taking in the interior. "What did you expect, a rusted-out jalopy?" He asks sarcastic while putting his seatbelt on. "Well, it would kinda fit." She smiles. Damn that gorgeous smile plus her heavenly scent make him bolt. "What’s that supposed to mean?" Glad, he took the bait, she answers: "Like you, it would scare people off, just like you want it." He looks at her. "Do you say I look shabby or scary?" Is he offended? "No Dr. Ramsey, you don’t, but you are doing everything to push people away from you." "Is that though? Then why would I take you with me." "Not even you can resist my unique charm." If she knows how true that is. He smiles and shakes his head.

Both fall silent, but when it becomes to awkward, Casey asks: "So what's up with you and Dr. Emery?" He gives her a sharp look. Why? Why of people must she be the one to recognize it? Apart from not wanting anyone to know about his personal life, he feels the urge to tell her that there is no one in his life. When he doesn’t answer, she continues. "I saw you together earlier. It looked... intimate." His grip around the steering wheel tightens. "I don’t like advertising my private life at work." She is disappointed: does that mean there is a private life with Dr. Emery? "I'm just trying to figure out the politics of this place if i want to survive here." He side-eyes her. Touché, you clever girl. "In that case... we were an item. And then only on again, off again." "And now?" "Off. As of last year, she's my boss. Not that my personal life is any of your business." "My lips are sealed." "Good." They smile at each other a moment too long. They turn their gazes to the street again.

"So did Dr. Banerji really quit?" "I was wondering when you'd get around to asking that." "And? Did he?" "Yes." 'You stubborn little thing.' "But that’s huge! Did he say why he was leaving?" "That's between him and the chief." She rolls her eyes mentally. 'Boooh, how boring.' "So you are in charge of the diagnostics team now. That's gotta be a lot of pressure." 'You have no idea, Rookie.' "More than you can imagine. Naveen built that team from his own blood, sweat, and tears. I can’t let him down now that he's moved on" "Are you okay without him?" "I'm thirty-six years old. Yes, i will be fine without Dr. Banerji." "I just meant... he was your friend, right?... Your lifelong mentor." Before she eventually goes on, he speaks up. "And now he wants to go paint and play golf. I salute him. We're doctors, Rookie. We can only take so much. When the time comes to hang up the coat, we can’t turn that into another tragedy. We have enough of that already." By the time he ends his sentence, he turns his face to her, just to see her watching him with an intense gaze, he can’t read, of her emerald eyes. A few minutes of silence pass, when she says: "You know, I'm actually surprised you were up for this rescue mission." "You don’t think I want to spend my time searching for stuffed animals." He smiles and even if it is a teasing and sarcastic smile, it is so rare and infectious that she blushes. She turns her gaze to her hands in her lap. It makes him smile even more to see that he can have such an effect on her. "I thought you'd think it was pointless. I mean... it's just a stuffed frog, right?" She looks up at him again. He holds her gaze. "You think I'm some emotionless machine, don’t you?" Normally he would be happy to make this impression on any intern, but with her, it kind of hurts him and somehow he doesn’t want her to think like that about him. He looks at her and her breath hitches, his gaze is unreadable but yet she can’t shake the thought that he is not happy about the picture she might has of him. But why does he act so cold all the time, she thought that's what he wanted people to think of him. "Not entirely machine. Cyborg, maybe? Dr. Terminator?" "In that case, even a cyborg would cite the studies showing how emotional attachment can play significant roles in patients recovery."... he pauses to look at her again with a smile. "So not even I, 'Dr. Terminator', think it's just a toy." A breathless nervous chuckle escapes her under his piercing gaze, her traitorous heart jumps in her chest as if it wants to show the obvious. She thinks fast of her next words. "And Dolores is a friend." "She's a patient first, while she's in our care. But yes, she's also a friend. If a stuffed frog will help her get through this, then I'll find her that damn thing." He smiles again. 'Okay so not helpful', Casey thinks, when her heart almost jumps out of her chest at how engaged he is for his patients and friends. "I think you might be a softie at heart, Dr. Ramsey." 'Damn, what is it with her smile? And who turned the heater on?' "Far from it. I'm practical. And that's enough prying for now."

He turns on the music with a smile, but regrets it the moment the first notes hit him. ~help me, I’m broken from the inside...~ Fuck, he had forgotten that his nine inch nails playlist was still on. Her eyes widened, he moves to stop the music. "No! I love nine inch nails!" His heart beats hard in his chest. She does? She turns the volume up, singing along with the radio. God this is torture, why does it have to be this song? The lyrics form to a not so professional image of him and Dr. Valentine doing exactly that. ~I wanna fuck you like an animal. I wanna feel you from the inside~ His fantasy is interrupted by her question. "Have you ever seen them live?" Her smile is infectious. "No, i haven’t." "What? Oh you have to, you'll love it! Ok, when they do their next tour, i'll take you to one of their shows." He narrows his eyes at her, an amused and seductive sparkle in his eyes. "You'll do?" Her enthusiasm doesn’t crumble. "Yes, it will be amazing and I’m looking forward to see your eyes when you first see and hear them live." Her gaze finds his and he smiles gently at her, his heart doing strange things in his chest.

The busy noises of a fire and the people who try to stop the flames bring them back to reality. Both get out of the car watching the flames holding the building in a dangerous embrace.

"Do you think, we can help somehow?" On instinct she takes a few steps, but Ethan holds her arm. "No, Rookie, almost all paramedics are gone with the victims. There is nothing we can do other than trying to find the frog." He looks around. "We can search the perimeter, but if it fell out of her purse in there..." "Let's hope it didn't." They search for a while, when Ethan calls for her triumphantly. "Look, there in the storm drain!" He points at it, but it is out of reach. "Oh, hell no. I am not going down there. Haven’t you seen 'It'?" "Seen what?" He asks confused. 'Aaaawww, he is so clueless in these things, it’s cute.' She shakes her head slightly. "Never mind. We'll fish it out." "Good thinking." Ethan searches in his trunk for the first-aid-kit, where he finds a hook from a bent needle and ties it to a spool of stitching thread. "Cool, let's get this thing." She clutches to his arm on instinct. God, he can’t disappoint her, he have to get this damn frog. With knitted eyebrows he tries to catch it. "A little bit more to your left." "I know... I know." And it doesn't take him long to fish it out. "You got it." She squeaks happy, taking the frog and showing it to him, jumping a little in excitement. "You can give the good news to Dolores, when we get back." "After we sterilize this, of course."

When they are back in the car, he catches her as she smiles at the little frog, she clutches it in her hands, holding it so tight as if she was scared to lose it. Only that beautiful smile on her face was worth the trip.

Jealous

Paring: Ethan Ramsey x F! MC (Haley Rochester) x M! OC (Marvin Kutner)

Book: Open Heart 2

Category: Angst

Warnings: None

Word count: 908

Rating: G

Summary: When a patient recognizes Haley from a party long ago, Ethan realizes she has her own way of moving on.

A/N 1. So, instead of writing a proposal, I decided to write this, which was much way more fun, lol. I now present to you; The Jealous Ethan Ramsey.

A/N 2. You can find their Miami story here.

“I'm sorry, have we met before? You look really familiar.”

The question wiped the smile off Haley’s face as the good-looking patient eyed her curiously.

“Um…No, I don’t think so.” She averted her eyes and pretended to be busy reading the chart.

“Are you sure? Cause I know I have seen those pretty eyes before.”

The bold dark-haired man raised an eyebrow with a gleam in his eyes, which didn’t escape Ethan’s attention. He hadn’t had the chance to say a word because the patient had started to shamelessly hit on Haley the moment they entered the room. This wasn’t the first time a patient flirted with her, and she always had witty comebacks for those who came on too strongly. So why was she reacting so differently this time? She actually looked uncomfortable… wait, was she blushing?? Some nonsense from a stranger could not have affected her. He knew that for sure. Was she into this guy?

“Aaaaah! I remember now! Haley Rochester. We met at the graduation party at Stanford!”

Haley let out a nervous laugh.

“Oh, yes. Of course. Marvin.”

“At your service. If you didn't remember me, I would have been very disappointed. We had a pretty memorable night.”

Haley swallowed hard, not knowing how to react.

Ethan cleared his throat,

“Mr. Kutner, we need to talk about your symptoms.” He said with an assertive tone, putting an end to the incredibly annoying conversation, at least for him.

The younger doctor handled Ethan the chart as she tried not to make eye contact with him. The attending's expression was unreadable, but Haley could tell he was fuming by his pressed lips and the way his nostrils were flaring. Although she was utterly embarrassed, the sight of Ethan seething with jealousy was oddly satisfying.

…

“I didn't take you for a one-night stand person.”

Ethan couldn’t hold it back any longer as they exited the patient’s room.

“Does that bother you?”

Haley replied dryly, the same way she had been acting since he put an abrupt end to their relationship by running off to Amazon. Knowing that he deserved it, did nothing to alleviate the pain it caused him.

“There are many things you don't know about me. Sleeping around is my way to get over a breakup and move on.”

They walked into the office. A moment of silence.

“So… you… after we…”

“After our reset? Oh Yeah, I did!” Haley replied, smiling bitterly.

Looking at Ethan who was trying and failing miserably to stay calm, the intern continued to torture,

“Oh, and don't worry, you’ve met him. Nice guy”.

That was the last straw. Ethan immediately caught her impression. Of course, it was the scalpel jockey. He’d been chasing her since their first day of residency and Ethan had never seen him give up. So he was the guy holding her at night? Touching her? Kissing her? Making her scream as Ethan did? The mere thought of it was making him sick.

“That's enough!"

His hoarse voice made it clear how much he was hurting. Haley didn't dare to say anything else.

“Page me when you get the lab results.”

With that, he fled the office and banged the door closed behind him.

…

Ethan stood quietly on the rooftop. Their favorite spot and usual meeting place before he blew everything. He had kissed her to oblivion after their first time in Miami; the night they spent only kissing and cuddling, a middle ground between Ethan’s persistence on his principles and their longing for each other. He smiled briefly, remembering being close to her. Inhaling her scent, gazing into her eyes and touching her lips with his. It was all gone now.

Was it worth it? The unbearable pain of losing her to someone else?

“I thought I'd find you here.”

Haley’s soft voice pulled him out of his thoughts, which he didn’t appreciate. He’d rathered being alone with thoughts of Haley than being near her as nothing more than a colleague.

“I told you to page me, not to follow me to the damn rooftop.”

Haley flinched at his harsh tone but didn’t back down.

“I'm sorry… about what I said.”

“You can do whatever you want, with whomever you want. None of my business.”

“It wasn't true.”

She could see the momentarily shock on Ethan's face.

“I didn't even think about anyone else. I still don't.”

Ethan was relieved, to the point he didn’t care if Haley could see it. He wanted her to see it. She was his. He needed her to know even if he couldn’t say it out loud, and he was lucky that the woman in front of him was never afraid to speak her mind,

“You are the most incredible man. How can I ever forget you?”

Love Again

Book : Open Heart (Book 2)

Pairing : Dr. Ethan Ramsey x F!MC (Dr. Meera Bose) || Feat. Tobias Carrick

Category : Angsty Fluff

Summary : He is watching his best friend fall in love for the second time and desperately praying that it doesn't lead to disastrous consequences like the first time. (Aka Open Heart Book 2 told from Tobias Carrick's point of view)

Warnings : Mentions of the maitotoxin attack

Rating : General

Word Count : 1569

Trope : Third person POV, People find out about them, Traumatic Event

A/N : This is my submission for @tobias-carrick-appreciation-week Day 3 : OH 2 and @aprilchallenge : Love is in the air. Some of the quotes have been taken directly from Pixelberry's Open Heart Book 2. Hope you guys enjoy it, happy reading! ❤️

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.

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! ❤️

When It Rains (Ethan x MC)

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.

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!!! 🤍😭

A Little Holiday Cheer

Happy Holidays!

@lilyoffandoms had no idea what they were creating when they wrote a tiny drabble about these three sets of loons. Since then, Lily, Dani (@storyofmychoices), and I have expanded on their hijinx, and it just gets more fun with time. I asked the lovely, talented, and all-around amazing @/artbyainna (IG) to create this commemoration not only of the friendship between Ethan, Merida, Bryce, Olivia, Casey & Tobias but, more importantly, the friendship between us! 😊 As always, she MORE than delivered! I hope this brings you a little smile.

Book: Open Heart Pairings: Ethan Ramsey x Merida (@lilyoffandoms), Bryce Lahela x Olivia (@storyofmychoices), and Tobias Carrick x Casey (mine!) Rating: Teen Words: 825 Summary: It all started at Ethan & Merida's place, so it's only fitting that we go back there again!

There was something about this time of year... even the mundane seemed to morph into magic, and tonight's gathering of friends was no exception. While the robust aroma of lasagna competed with the sweet scent of sugar cookies baking in the second oven, neither managed to diffuse the fragrant pine from the Christmas tree. Music served only as a background to the laughter and lively chatter, but while Bryce and Olivia were too engaged in the conversation.. and each other... to notice the music shift from soulful renditions of holiday standards back to melodic strings and woodwinds, Merida didn’t miss a beat. Resplendent in her holiday attire, she halted slicing provolone for the charcuterie board long enough to shoot Ethan a menacing glare.

“Ethan Jonah Ramsey, so help me God! If you turn Stevie off to put The Nutcracker back on one more time, I will not be responsible for my actions!”

“I’d be careful,” Bryce advised. “She is holding an exceptionally large knife.”

Ethan started to open his mouth, then thought better of it. With a quick flick of the wrist, “That’s What Christmas Means to Me My Love” blared through the air once more.

“What did it?” Olivia teased. “Knowing you were outnumbered, or the large knife?”

Ethan leaned against the counter, popped a piece of chorizo in his mouth, and shrugged. “It’s the season of goodwill. Let's go with that.” His half-smile quickly retreated when Merida slapped his hand.

“There will be no goodwill in this house if you keep sneaking food! You have to wait until all of our guests arrive.”

A sigh tinged with frustration escaped him. “I fail to see why we all need to starve because Carrick is late... again.”

“Technically, he’s not late,” Olivia advised.

“She’s right,” Merida agreed. “It’s only seven-fifty, and dinner starts at eight. They have ten minutes before we can declare them late.”

Ethan turned to her with astonishment. “But I was there when you told him to be here at seven!”

“Yes,” Merida said matter-of-factly. “I told him that to ensure they’d be here by eight.”

“But since it's Tobias and Casey we're talking about,” Bryce interjected. “You probably should have told them six."

"True," Olivia nodded, biting into a fluffy cheese puff. “Knowing Casey, she’ll want to redo her hair and makeup.”

Ethan raised his eyebrows in disbelief as Merida smiled. “What?” she asked.

“Olivia is eating a cheese puff and not an ounce of chastisement from you... but I sneak a sliver of sausage, and you considered dismemberment!”

“Ethan...Olivia is a guest! Besides, she’s too cute to dismember.”

The doorbell rang, and the friends looked at their phones at 7:58 PM.

“Wow! They’re early!” Bryce exclaimed. “And they say Christmas miracles are a thing of the past!”

“Great,” Merida laughed as she wiped her hands with a dish towel. “That means they probably didn’t get it all out of their systems, and they’ll be horny on main all night.”

“And that would be different from every other time... how?” Bryce laughed.

Merida scurried down the hallway, high heels clicking, but her irritated boyfriend beat her to the door, swinging it open to find Tobias planting kisses on a giggling Casey’s neck.

“Do you two ever stop?”

“What?” Tobias protested with a sheepish grin. “We weren’t doing anything. We were just stuck in....”

“TRAFFIC!” The four friends shouted.

“That is what they call it these days,” Olivia winked, all too proud of herself. "Aren't they?"

“Hey! You can’t blame us,” Casey said, tossing her fuzzy coat over Ethan’s unextended arm. “Boston is just filled with traffic!”

“Mmmhmmm,” Merida greeted her friend with a warm embrace. “And you two are always without GPS.”

“That’s right,” Casey smiled. “We prefer to go by... feel.”

“Can we send them home now?” Ethan groaned.

But Merida and Casey were already halfway down the hall, linked arm-in-arm and giggling like schoolgirls. Ethan jumped when Tobias’s hand landed on his shoulder with a thud.

“You were saying, buddy?”

Running a hand down his face, Ethan surrendered. “Olivia is right. I’m outnumbered.”

Moments later, the couples were assembled around the kitchen table, with wine generously poured. Ethan happily partook in cured meats as he endured one too many jokes about salami from his best-freinemy.

“Tobias, I swear, you never escaped adolescence.”

“Was that something we were supposed to escape?”

Bryce raised his glass with a smile. “Only during working hours!”

“And these are not working hours,” Merida gleefully stated. “A toast... to friends, who have become family.”

“And by family, she means you’re inescapable!” Ethan grinned.

“Just like adolescence,” Casey beamed, clinking her glass with the others.

Merida set her eyes on Ethan’s, a radiant smile on her lips. “And would you have it any other way?”

Wrapping his arm around her waist he pulled her close. "No," he beamed. "Despite each of you, save Olivia, causing me more grey hairs by the moment... I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Several drinks in, you know they started teasing Tobias about his "Ho-Ho-Ho" sweater. Everyone except Olivia, who wasn't sure what they meant until Bryce whispered it in her ear. Merida and Casey quickly agreed to corrupt the poor dear much more before their New Year's Eve gathering!

Happy Holidays! :)

Scar

Series: Open Heart

Pairing: F!MC x Ethan

Rating: Explicit

!Warning!: Mention of violence, stalking and trauma.

The topic stalking is still not be taken serious enough. I myself was confronted with a stalker, luckily it was harmless compared to other cases (especially seen in "stalked", it is heartbreaking). I kind of wanted to include this topic because of this.

Setting: Book 1, between the moment Harper caught Ethan and MC at the nurse station and Miami.

“What is it with Dr. Valentine?” Harper said without warning while storming into Ethan’s office. He sat at his desk and looked over his glasses at her. “Good evening to you too, Harper.” “Spare me this, what is going on between you and Dr. Valentine?” He folded his hands in front of him and pressed his lips into a thin line before answering. “She is an intern and as all the others a total pain in the ass. Unless she has some talent, I have to admit.” “Bullshit Ethan, I saw you looking at her, touching her arm today and it was not the first time I caught you smolder over her.“ Ethan made a despised noise. “Harper please, you see ghosts and I never thought you were the jealous type. We agreed to just be friends.” “Oh Ethan, don’t you dare turn this on me. Believe me I would be so so happy, if there was someone, who loved you and that you could love and made you happy but it can’t be an intern! It is wrong and dammit, Ethan, of all people in the world it has to be an intern and not only a random intern, no an intern that is about to join your team!? that is so wrong!” “Are you done? I can’t believe you! Do you really think I, of all people, would start an affair with an intern?” “I was not talking about an affair.” She looked at him with intensity. Ethan couldn’t stop but gulp at this. “And you are wrong, I have no unprofessional interest in any of these jerks. I have to admit, Valentine does a good job for an intern but that’s all.” Harper looked at her friend with folded arms. “I hope this is the truth, Ethan. Despite being wrong, Dr. Valentine doesn’t deserve being used.” “I can assure you, you have nothing to fear about and you are right, none of these monkeys deserve something like that. If that’s all, I have to go to a patient.” After a short hesitation, Harper stood up. “Alright, thank you Ethan and goodnight.” “You too, Harper.” Anger boiled inside Ethan and he had to put as much distance between him and Harper as possible. He was too scared, she could doubt him and see right through him. He knew best that the way he felt about Casey was wrong, that he couldn’t stand an entire day without seeing her, that he dreamt about her every night of the week.

÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷

With long strides he walked into the new wing to look after Naveen. Still in thought he entered the room and first didn’t realize the figure next to Naveen. “Rookie, what are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be celebrating? Your shift must be over for hours.” He looked at his watch as if to proof his point. Smiling Casey looked up from the paper work she was doing. “4 hours ago and I’m going to celebrate, when the competition is over.” He suppressed a smile and shoved his hands in his pockets. “So what are you doing here?” “I was running some tests and while waiting for the results I did a little bit research and kept Dr. Banerji some company.” She looked at the sleeping man, who didn’t know about his two visitors. Ethan nodded knowingly and checked on Naveen without waking him. “Would you mind if I joined you?” “Of course not.“ He sat next to her. “Should I get us some coffee?” with a smile she pulled a thermos out of her back and hold it up. “We are all set.” With a smile on his face, he grabbed two cups from the water dispenser. With their coffees in hand they settled on the couch in the patients room watching Naveen’s steady breathing in silence. After a while Ethan broke it. “So why are you still here?” “I’m watching a patient.” “You know what I mean.” “I just couldn’t go home doing nothing. That’s why we‘re here, helping people.” He shook his head smiling and took a sip of his coffee. “What were you reading?” “Just another useless article about alternate treatments for sepsis.” He nodded understanding. “is it ever going to be less frustrating, not to find a cure?” Ethan considered her question. There weren’t many situations or cases, which Ethan wasn’t able to solve, so he wasn’t sure. “I think it depends on how you look at it. If you see everything as a lesson to become better as a whole or if you see every case as a whole and only solving it makes you better.” “Hm, I guess, I’m the second part.” “Me too”, he smiled. Ethan peaked at her she didn’t seem to notice, when she spoke up: “Have you found a question you want to ask me?“ Ethan was confused: “What question?” She chuckled: “Our little bet from Halloween. I owe you your prize with an answer.” He remembered immediately and even if he had a million questions about her, there was one that bothered him since that night. He chewed on his bottom lip, avoiding her gaze. “It’s ok Dr. Ramsey, ask me what you want.”

He looked up, his gaze intense while she smiled encouraging at him. “Okay, but… but you have to tell me, if it is too personal or inappropriate.” She laughed quietly: “Don’t worry, I know that you won’t ask something too personal or inappropriate.” “I hope, I earn your trust.” “I know you do.” For a moment he got lost in her presence and her words. “On Halloween I saw you had a scar under your chest and… No, sorry, that is so wrong, forget it, I’m sorry Rookie.” “It was an attack with a knife.” Shell-shocked he looked at her, not able to form a coherent sentence. “I was ten years old, when it happened. It was… uhm… I mean my mom worked in an office in town and in this year, a new colleague started to work there. My mom was such a loving, kind and caring person, she wanted to help him find his place,” she smiled to herself at the thought of her mom. Ethan sat on the edge of his chair, not daring to move. “He was a weird guy and she felt sorry for him. And then one day my father, my brother and I picked her up after work and this man saw me.”

She looked at her fingers not able to look Ethan in the eyes. Ethan paid her full attention with all his being. His jaw clenched together in anger for this man who caused her so much pain. “He… he had an “illumination” in that moment that told him i were his soulmate and that this was the reason, why he got to meet my mother. Of course my parents were furious and called him off but there was no escape. He started to stalk us, badger us. He followed me after school, called hundred times a day, sat hours in front of our house. My parents called the police and they picked him up, but he only got a warning and was said to stay away. If they just had investigated a little more than maybe they would have found out." "What? Found out what?" "At this time around the area, seven little girls around my age disappeared and some of them were found dead. Murdered. It was him all the time." Ethan tried to remember any of this from the news and a bell rang, but he couldn’t see the whole picture. "For a few weeks we didn’t see or hear anything from him and we really thought it was over... But one Saturday I was home alone with my mother, we were in the garden, she was planting my favorite flowers for me, while i was on the swing. Suddenly i heard my mom scream and when i turned around, he was standing next to her and she laid in the grass, unconscious. I tried to get to my mom and he caught me, i fought against him and he stabbed me. my mom woke up and hit him with shovel.” She swallowed and when Ethan wanted to say something, she continued: “She was able to get him off of me and told me I should run. I did, I ran into the house and called the police while they were still fighting. He stabbed her several times over and over again. She laid there in the grass, bleeding and couldn’t move while he came into the house searching for me. But after a few minutes you could hear the sirens, so he ran away. I immediately ran to my mother, but I couldn’t help her. I told her she had to stay with me and that she was going to be fine. She died while I was holding her wounds, trying to stop the bleeding, but she died before the cops and emergency arrived." She paused. "It was all my fault, I was hiding in the house like a coward and after that I wasn’t able to help her. She died for me.” Silent tears formed in her eyes. In an instant Ethan kneeled in front of her, taking her face in his hands, gently wiping her tears away. “Casey look at me, nothing about what happened was your fault, nothing. And you were brave and strong… like now. You did what you could to help. And the only one, who is to blame, is this man. And I know it sounds cliché, but your mother would be so proud of you. And as terrible as it was, she died knowing that you are safe and I think that is what helped her finding some kind of peace, don’t you think?” The truth was, she never felt safer than now in his comfort. He pulled her in an embrace and she let herself find care in his arms. After a while they pulled apart just enough to look at each other and like a moth drawn to a flame, Ethan’s hand caressed her cheek and their faces got closer and closer. “What in ‘cough cough’ god’s sake do you two still do here?” immediately after Dr. Banerji's voice was heard, they jumped apart, busying themselves as if they had worked the whole time. “We were trying to find a cure for you, old man, while you were sleeping like a baby.” Ethan crumbled to Naveen. “Not really successful as it seems”, answered doctor Banerji. The two men shared a stern look. “I better go, seeing if the results are finished.” Casey said. Ethan looked at her and nodded.

÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷

Later that night Casey was on her way to the exit, when someone called for her. “Rookie!” Her heart jumped and she turned around with a smile. “Dr. Ramsey.” He reached her, but at first he wasn’t able to say something, he was ashamed, that he asked her such an insensitive and private question. "Are you alright?" She asked, her eyebrows knitted in concern. Was this woman for real? He had forced her to share such a traumatic memory and she asked him, if he was alright. "Can i drive you home?" She looked at him puzzled. "Thank you, but i don’t want you to drive such a detour and it’s okay for me to drive the T." He rolled his eyes at her with a smile and took her bag out of her hand. "Come on, Rookie." Without waiting for her reaction he walked to his car.

They drove in silence for a few minutes. "Thank you, Dr. Ramsey for driving me home." "It's my pleasure." He smiled at her, holding her gaze for a moment too long. When they realized that they were staring at each other, they both turned their faces to the road. After a few minutes without speaking, he put himself together. "Casey..." she looked at him, waiting for him to continue. "Yes, Dr. Ramsey?" "I... i'm sorry for my behavior today." He looked at her and she raised a confused eyebrow at him. "What behavior?" They arrived at her apartment and he put his car in a parking position. He sighed. "It was unacceptable to ask you such a personal question. That was inappropriate from me and i shouldn’t have brought you in this situation, i'm so so sorr..." she interrupted him. "Dr. Ramsey that is really nice of you, but there is nothing to forgive and nothing you need to apologize for." "That's not true, Casey. It was..." "Ethan, i really appreciate it, but the truth is, i have to thank you." Now it was his turn to be confused. When she saw his expression, she averted his gaze and started to explain. "You listened to me and comforted me. I... the only two people in Boston, who know that this happened are Sienna and Bryce and they don’t know all the details. But telling you about it was really comforting and it felt liberating to tell you about my past. The most people have pity with me, just because you have to feel sorry for someone who had a traumatic experience. But you can see that this is all just fake and even if i don’t run around, telling everybody what happened to my mom, if people know about it, i don’t want to be treated like a little deer. You listened and you feel sorry for my loss, but you don’t pity me and you won’t treat me different or avoid me because you can’t handle it or will go easy on me at work because of my mom." His heart hammered inside his chest by her confession. The fact, that she trusted him with her most tragic experience was overwhelming for him, even if he wasn’t able to name the feeling. She still couldn’t look at him, she felt fragile. "Casey..." he cupped her cheeks, forcing her to look at him. "... i meant, what i said tonight, nothing of what happened was your fault. And you are one of the strongest persons i ever met. Your mother would be so proud of you, of what you achieved in your life." The moment between them was ruined by the ringing of her phone. "Damn it, my roommates are worried because i'm still not at home." He chuckled, it relieved him to know that she had people who looked after her. "Then you better get inside." "Yeah, i guess." She bit her bottom lip. "Good night, Dr. Ramsey." "Good night, Rookie." Before she climbed out of the car, she turned back to him and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you." With a smile she left and disappeared inside her building. Ethan sat still shell-shocked in his car, he could still fell the touch of her soft lips on his cheek and the smell of her perfume surrounded him. With a smile on his face he drove home, but when he sat in his living room, a scotch in hand and his thoughts by Casey, he knew he was in trouble because of what he felt for her.

Something Yellow

Book: Open Heart

Pairing: Ethan x Haley

Category: fluff

Word Count: 591

Premise: Ethan is wearing an unusual accessory :)

"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.
