You come back from a blood draw, feeling a little woozy and Ned already has your favorite pie waiting for you 🥰🥰🥰 ~ Britt
THIS IS SO CUTE slight TW for mentions of blood being drawn and doctors visits @dreaminrubies
You had insisted that Ned stay at The Pie Hole while you went to your appointment. He tended to come with you for your appointments. As a chronic worrier, or as he would say “plagued with troubling thoughts,” he made it a point to always come with you. Whether it was to support you or to soothe his own toiling mind you honestly didn't know.
However, this time you decided to go alone. Maybe it was because some of you felt guilty about dragging him along, having to pause his baking and just sit there. Not that you didn't appreciate him, you knew everything he did was out of a place of kindness, but a healthy amount of space wouldn’t hurt.
You hadn't realized until the appointment that you had to have blood drawn. It wasn’t anything you weren't used to, but you really wished you had eaten a bit more. By the time you had made your way back to The Pie Hole, you were feeling queasy and lightheaded. All you could think about was slumping in your favorite booth and waiting for a fresh piece of pie.
As you entered the establishment, decorated with the crust of the baked goods, you took a deep breath. The scents of the buttery crust mixed with the tart fruits filled your heart to a point where you almost forgot how hungry you were. The smell of pies wasn't just delicious, it was home.
“How’d it go? I suppose not very different from other times though if it was I’d like to know” offered Ned, approaching you with his shoulders hunched and hands held behind his back.
“Well enough, got some blood work this time but no big discoveries… thankfully.” You gave him a small shrug and a tiny smile, one of those smiles that just barely tugged at your lips. Ned stared at your face, trying to find a trace of something more. Perhaps it was his work with Cod, he was better at reading people than he was when you first met.
“I don't recall you eating before you left, did you eat? Is that why you look more tired than usual? Please sit” said Ned in a worried tone. His hands gently placed themselves on the small of your back as he ushered you over to one of the free booths. You let out a small huff, though a quaint smile never left your lips. He was such a worry-wart sometimes.
“I’m okay, promise. All I need is-” you started before a piece of pie was presented in front of you as you sat. It didn’t take you too long to realize from the scent wafting in your space to realize that it was your favorite. Your favorite a la mode too.
“If I wasn't going to be with you at the doctor’s I knew I couldn't let you forget that I was still here and thinking about you. As foolish it may sound, you were only gone an hour or two” Ned began to ramble. As he did so you scooped up a piece on your fork, ensuring a dollop of ice cream was on it as well. As soon as the pastry hit your mouth you couldn't help but interrupt Ned’s rambling with a satisfied hum.
“Ned, of course, I would never forget how much you care, never ever. Plus this is not only my favorite but the best pie I've ever had. Thank you for always taking care of me… I love you” you said to him softly, looking up to meet his gaze.
Ned paused and blushed deeply, he always had a habit of making himself look so small. “I love you too, and I would do it any time any day no matter what.”
With that, you leaned over in the booth to give him a soft peck on the lips before finishing up in the not-so-silence of The Pie Hole, and it made you feel all better.

It’s been 13 years, 28 days, and a number of minutes since I first drew Pushing Daisies fanart…
A redraw of one of my favorite shows!

It’s been 4 days, 1 hour, 47 minutes, and 6 seconds since tumblr user Anna Leigh finished rewatching one of her favorite shows, and felt the urge to draw her beloved pie maker and beekeeping dead girl.
