An Unexpected Valentine

Book: Open Heart (Book 2)

Pairing: Rafael Aveiro x F!MC (Carrie Valentine)

Featuring: Bryce Lahela, "Vovo" Aveiro

Rating: Teen

Category: Fluff

Summary: It's Raf and Carrie's first Valentine's Day together, and he has planned a perfect day for them, but nothing ever goes according to plan. But by the end of the day, Raf is sure of one thing, it's the perfect Valentine's Day, and he has the only Valentine he'll ever need.

Words: 2067

A/N: This one is going out to @twinkleallnight, who requested a fic for her favorite, Rafael. I hope I did it justice for you. And a special thank you to the lovely @missameliep for helping me with the Brazillian cultural references. You are a gem, and we're all lucky to have you in the fandom! Participating in @choices-february2023 Day 14 Valentine's Day

It was Valentine’s Day morning at Edenbrook Hospital, and every nook and cranny seemed to be adorned in pink and red. Balloons, streamers, flowers, cupcakes … even the staff’s attire seemed to be prescribed by Cupid himself. The HR Department had a long-standing joke that making it impossible to forget the day was an employee benefit, leading to happy partners throughout Boston. Just one more service they offered to the community!

But one employee needed no reminder. Rafael Aveiro had been meticulously planning this day from the moment he told Carrie Valentine those three little words, and then she said them back. He was a romantic at heart, so he would have made a fuss over Valentine’s Day even if it wasn’t named after his girlfriend. Carrie always laughed and explained that wasn’t how the holiday got its name, but Raf refused to accept it. A celebration of love for all? Of course. But for him, the day was dedicated to his Carrie; now, it was his favorite holiday of all.

He had worked the overnight shift and was getting ready to leave Edenbrook, knowing Carrie would arrive shortly after he left. While he couldn’t be there to greet her, a bouquet of red roses and a box filled with chocolate-covered strawberries would. Later, he arranged for lunch to be delivered from her favorite bistro in Back Bay. Then tonight, he would pick her up at seven, and the real celebration would begin.

His excitement morphed into an ever-present smile on his face. Nothing was bringing him down today. The hospital’s gift shop was opening as he passed by, and he couldn’t resist slipping to buy one more thing. A small, pink teddy bear for Carrie was under one arm, and a bouquet of flowers for Vovo was under the other when he heard a familiar voice beckoning from behind.

“Awww, Raf… you shouldn’t have! I told you, darling. You’re all the gift I need!”

Raf could feel the megawatt smile before he saw it.

“Then you’ll be delighted to know they’re not for you, Bryce.”

Bryce gasped and grabbed his chest in mock horror. “Now my day is ruined! But,” he continued, admiring the gifts in Raf’s hands, “at least you’re taking care of Carrie, so you’re off the hook.”

“Well, one is for Carrie, and the other is for my Vovo.”

“Ah, so you’ll have two happy ladies today! What are your plans tonight? Anything big?”

“I’m taking Carrie to Oliveira’s Steakhouse for dinner, Café Brazil for dessert, and then dancing at this little club I found on Tremont.”

“Nice! Is it a surprise?”

“Mmmm, I have surprises planned for her during the night, but she knows what we’re doing. You know Carrie, she doesn’t like big surprises.”

“Well, it sounds like a great. I suppose me third wheeling is out of the question.”

“Any other night, I’d be happy to have you join us, but tonight, it’s our first Valentine’s Day, and this is all about Carrie and me… so….”

“I was only teasing,” Bryce grinned, “but now you have to take me next week!”

Raf laughed heartily as he walked away. “That’s a deal!”

~~~~~

The door of Raf’s car was already open when his phone rang, and the grin on his face left no doubt as to who was calling.

“Happy Valentine’s day, meu amor!”

“Raf!” Carrie gushed. “I can’t believe you did all this!”

“I didn’t do enough. You like?”

“I love! Everything is beautiful, and right now, I’m the envy of everyone on the 9th floor!”

“I’m the only one they should be jealous of… because I have you.”

“Raf… I adore you! This Valentine’s Day is already better than all twenty-six I had before combined, and I haven’t even seen you yet!”

“We’ll fix that tonight.”

“I can’t wait! I’m dying for you to see the dress I bought!”

“Not as much as I’m dying to see it,” he assured as Carrie giggled.

“We’re staying at your place after our date, right? Will your roommate be home?”

“No. He will be with his girlfriend in Somerville, so it’s just you and me.”

“Good,” Carrie purred. “Then I can’t wait until you see what's under my dress, too.”

“Carrie, I’m about to go into my Vovo’s house… could we, uh, maybe save this conversation for later.”

“Sure! I don’t want Vovo seeing you in… that… condition!” She laughed, “But as much as I’m looking forward to the after-party, I can’t wait for our date!”

“You do love Oliveira’s….”

“I do!” she enthused. “But I love everything you planned, and I just want to be all around Boston with you on my arm. Nothing means more to me. I can’t wait for seven o’clock!”

“Neither can I, meu amor.”

Raf jumped out of the car as soon as he hung up. As much as he wanted to get to his apartment and sleep, he had one more stop to make. He barely stepped onto Vovo’s driveway when he heard Roberto Carlos's tunes blasting… even with the doors and windows closed. Once inside, he had to chuckle, seeing his grandmother singing Chegaste, the perfect duet.

“Vovo,” Raf smiled, “Jennifer Lopez is nothing compared to you!” Pulling the flowers out from behind his back, he wrapped his grandmother in a tight hug. “Feliz Dia dos Namorados, Vovo.”

“Ai meu anjo!” She cried. “You are so good to me!”

“I learned that from you because you’re so good to me.”

“And this year…you’re so happy, meu filho. No?”

The grin on his face answered for him, but he still replied. “I really am.”

“Good! Then you should eat! Come to the kitchen! I’ll feed you.”

“You would have fed me if I said I wasn’t happy, too,” he smiled.

“Of course!” Vovo insisted. “I would have fed you more!”

Exhausted, Raf hadn’t noticed the pleasant aroma that filled the home, but once in the kitchen, it was unmistakable.

“Vovo, what are you making? It smells delicious!”

“That’s because it is delicious, Rafa! When have I made you anything you didn’t enjoy?”

“Never!” He lifted the lid off a pot, and his mouth watered. “Is this?”

“Feijoada. But I’m also making steak, arroz e feijoa….”

“Are you having a party I didn’t know of?”

“It is a party. It’s not every day I get to meet the woman my grandson loves!”

Raf coughed on his coffee, and Vovo patted his back to assist him.

“Rafa, esta bem?”

“Yes, it just… went down the wrong way.”

“That’s because you’re tired, me anjo. Go home and get some rest. I’ll make sure everything is perfect for tonight!”

“Vovo… uh… when did I say we were coming here tonight?”

“When you said you were taking Carrie out for the best Brazillian food in Boston! I’m so touched that you want to introduce us on Valentine’s Day. Estou tao animado!”

“Yes… well, it is very exciting, Vovo….” he trailed.

“What time will you be here for dinner?”

“Well… Vovo… actually….” he stammered, looking around the kitchen overflowing with more food than three people could possibly eat, he didn’t have the heart to tell her no. “Uhm, Carrie is working today, so let me check the time with her, and I’ll let you know.”

“Maravilhoso! I am looking forward to it!”

~~~~~

Raf’s mind raced the whole ride home; his heart completely torn. He went to call Bryce for advice, but he remembered he was in surgery all day. All the plans he had meticulously made were unraveling before his eyes. With Carrie so excited, the thought of disappointing her made his stomach churn. He couldn’t let that happen. But Vovo was so happy and working so hard. How could he hurt her? He let out a frustrated sigh as he entered his apartment, plopping down on the couch as soon as he walked in. He was determined to figure something out, but the overnight shift caught up to him, and the only thing that came to him was sleep. Hours later, he woke with a startle when a phone call woke him.

“Oh, shit!” He looked at his watch and panicked. He had less than one hour to get Carrie. Flying into the shower to begin getting ready, he didn’t even recall his dilemma. But on the drive to pick up Carrie, it all came back to him.

This would explain why he found himself standing on the steps to her apartment, sweating, despite the cold temperature. Anxious, even though he had been looking forward to this night for months. And full of dread… because there was no good way to work this out. But when Carrie opened the door, his mind settled for a moment.

He loved Carrie for her heart, but right now, he was reminded that the outside was every bit as beautiful as the inside. Her chestnut brown hair flowed over her delicate shoulders, and her red lips were the same hue as her dress. But it was her eyes that won him over, those big brown eyes that had held him captive from the moment they met. If Rafael Aveiro had any problems at that moment, they were all washed away.

“Wow…” he gasped as he took her hand. “You look…. You look….”

Carrie gently spun around, allowing the red silk skirt to swirl all around her before falling into his arms.

“Please tell me that loss of words is because you’re overwhelmed with joy, not that you hope I’ll be heading back inside to change,” she giggled.

“I wouldn’t allow it!” He grinned, “You are perfection and… wow… you’re my date!”

“All night long,” she beamed…. and with her words, his dilemma came rushing back. There was no hiding it; the worry was etched on his face.

“Raf?” Carrie asked, a worry line forming between her brows. “Did I say something wrong?”

He startled at the concerned expression on her face; he didn’t take months to plan this night for her to look that way.

“No! My love, not at all,” he pulled her into his arms for a warm embrace, “it’s just….”

Carrie pulled back just a bit and stared into his eyes. “Just?”

“I’m afraid I have to start our date by doing something that will break my Vovo’s heart.”

“What?” Carrie asked. “I don’t understand. Does she not want you to be with me?”

“Quite the contrary….”

Raf conveyed the story. Explaining how the confusion began and that he had only learned of the misunderstanding earlier that day. He described Vovo’s kitchen, overflowing with food, and how excited she had been. But, she’d understand, he assured. He’d explain, even at this later hour, that it was a misunderstanding… even though it broke his heart.

When he finished speaking, he found Carrie standing before him, her arms firmly crossed in front of her chest.

“Rafael,” she said sternly. “There is only one way to rectify this situation, and it is not canceling with Vovo; it’s canceling our reservation at Oliveira’s.”

“It… what? But you’ve been looking forward to our date?”

“Of course I do!” she insisted. “But I want the best Brazillian food in Boston, and by your own word, the only place to get that is in your Vovo’s dining room.”

“You mean, you want to go to Vovo’s? For our Valentine's Day date?”

“Raf, I’d be honored… as long as it’s all right with you. I know being introduced to your family is a big deal in your culture, and if you’re not ready to take that step with me, I understand. But otherwise….”

Carrie’s words were stopped, replaced by a little squeal as Raf spun her around in his arms.

“Are you kidding me? I don’t know what I was thinking; this is the perfect Valentine’s Day, after all. You are the love of my life, and it would be my honor to introduce you to my grandmother… on this… the holiday devoted to you.”

“Would you stop?” She laughed, reaching into his pants pocket to pull out his phone. “Then you better call the restaurant… you have a reservation to cancel. And make it quick!”

“Why?”

“Because we have to stop at the bakery. I’m not showing up at your grandmother’s house empty-handed.”

She didn’t get to say another word as Raf’s lips captured hers.

“Happy Valentine's Day, meu amor. The first of many more to come.”

liquid gold

Chapter 8: doubts & second thoughts

Alex took a sip from his water bottle, enjoying the way the cool water cleared his head almost instantly. These obsessive thoughts about Rory weren't doing him any good, he had to stop letting his mind spiral like that. It wasn't as if Rory and he were a couple or, God forbid, in a relationship.

Of course she was going to play the field and try to find her best connection. But sometimes it gave the impression that she wasn't particularly interested in making an emotional connection at all. She was handing out kisses left and right and even though it had somehow turned him on to see her snogging Uma, it had also left a bitter taste in his mouth.

Besides their parents, which adults are the children of your pairings closest to?

Oooh this is such an interesting ask! So, I have a lot of pairings so I'll just answer for the ones who come to mind/have kids (obvi). I'm also assuming this is for my Choices pairings but if you meant my RC pairings feel free to ask again!

Chandini x Bryce: They have two kids: Kehlani and Naveen Lahela-Ramakrishnan. Kehlani is definitely closer to Ethan (it's been awhile since I've looked at her OC file but I'm pretty sure I made Lani his goddaughter?) and Jackie, while Naveen is closer to Sienna and Rafael. They're both super close with their Aunt Keiki!

Lyra x Trystan: In the universe where these two end up together, they have twin daughters (Amber Marguerite Thorne and Alice Nayeli Thorne). Both twins are very close with their namesake, Amber and Marguerite, and Alice and Nayeli (CoP MC). But Amber spends a little more time with Lydea and Nayeli specifically because she's interested in learning combat as the next Drakovian heiress. As a whole, Amber is closer to the Thornes and nobility while Alice is closer to the Fae and other Nightbound characters like Nik, Vera, and Cal as the future Queen of the Fae Realm.

"Liam" x Kalyani: For most of her life, she was closest with Sienna and Rafael since they were her parents. But speaking for the TRR characters, Sabrina is closest to Hana and Olivia (who I think I made a couple for some reason?), but she also does spend a lot of time with her fun Uncle Maxwell and her former father-in-law Drake (long story 😭)

I still have some pairings like my TUH, D&D, Kindred, and WTD pairings so I'll link another post because I ran out of space in the tags lol

Clingy

Author’s note: Evelyn Bennington is a creation of this author. The other characters are owned by Pixelberry Studios. Book: Open Heart Pairing: Rafael Aveiro x F!MC (Evelyn) Rating: E Word count: 1399 Reading time: ~6min Summary: Evelyn went on a shopping spree and Rafael can't hardly wait for her to come home. Based on the prompts: @choicesmonthlychallengee Picktober: Kinktober - Leather/Lace

Raindrops drum on the glass windows as Rafael checks his phone one more time. She's nearly two hours late. Though she said she'd probably arrive earlier at home, once Evelyn got Sienna's text mentioning sales at Bloomingdale's, he knew he'd have dinner by himself. Which is fine. Evelyn is currently on a diet, so he could have the greasy cheeseburger with fries and soda he has been craving for weeks. But it's so strange to stay alone at home. Didn't she say she would just take a look? Why is she taking so long?

He idly flips between TV channels eating the last of his fries, looking for any kind of distraction. He shouldn't worry so much. Their neighborhood is quite calm and Evelyn can handle herself just fine. Yet, deep down he knows this isn't about protectiveness. It's about missing her.

His eyes find his phone again, but he shakes his head and looks back at the TV. Evelyn's job is so demanding and, now that she moved in with him, she has spent so little time with her friends. It doesn't see right to spoil her rare moment of fun with her friends.

Almost half an hour passed when the door finally opens.

"Hi!" Evelyn walks in grinning from ear to ear carrying six large bags.

"Hi," he answers, glancing at the bags. "I see you didn't just look around."

"I swear I'd just tag along with Sienna and Jackie. But you're not going to believe the stuff I got here." She then puts the bags on the floor and opens one of them to fish out an orange tote bag. "Look at this! Isn't it pretty?"

"I like the color. I assume you're going to wear it to go out?"

"Yes! I got so much stuff to wear when we travel to Brazil."

His brows go up in surprise. "Did you?"

"What? You're not the only one daydreaming about this trip."

He smiles softly. "I'm glad you've been thinking about it too, meu amor. But you also said you'd save money for the trip."

"And I am! I only bought things that I'm going to wear on the trip and some essential items. By the way, I got something for you."

Rafael looks down at the bags then at her. "For me?"

Evelyn produces a leather jacket out of one of the bags. "You said you wanted a new jacket."

"You didn't have to do that…"

"I know. But I wanted to. I was wandering between the clothing racks searching for stuff that would look good on you and I thought you'd like it. It's comfy, it'll keep you warm and it's stylish," she adds.

He takes the jacket and nods. It does look nice.

"Go try it on."

"Now?"

"Yeah now!" She grins and kisses his cheek. "Go check in the bedroom. I want to see how it looks on you."

With that, Rafael goes to their room and stares at himself in the mirror while he puts on the jacket. It fits him like a glove and it feels nicer than he expected.

He is suddenly startled by Evelyn's arms wrapping around his frame as she hugs him from behind.

"You look so dapper, amor," she purrs.

"Thanks…" He smiles coyly.

"Do you like it?"

"I do." He turns around to gaze at her. "It's a beautiful jacket, amor. Thank you."

"No problem," she replies and steps back. "I also bought something else I thought you might like."

His jaw drops as Evelyn takes off her coat, revealing a set of emerald green lace underwire bra and panties.

"What do you think?"

"You look stunning, Eve. Though I have to say…" He takes a few steps closer to her. "If you've been walking around Boston wearing just a coat and tiny underwear since you left the store, you must be cold."

"So cold…" Evelyn nods, pouting a little.

"We have to find a way to get you warm," Rafael whispers, pulling her flush against him.

Making quick work with his clothes, they quickly move to the bed. On top of her, Rafael pulls the sheer fabric just enough to free her breasts and proceeds to suck one of her nipples while teasing the other with his hand.

As Evelyn moans, Rafael climbs down slowly and kisses her lower belly. He smiles at the sight of her panties drenched from her juices and pushes them aside to sink two fingers inside her while his thumb works on her clit.

His eyes sweep over her body and he smiles. With parted lips, she moans in delight as her sweat runs down her belly, cheeks flush, hips bucking to meet the thrust of his fingers. "You're exquisite, meu amor. I could watch you like this for hours."

"But I want more…" She begs.

"So do I…" He leans in to whisper. "But it'd be a shame not to fully appreciate how beautiful you look in this new underwear of yours."

She smiles, nibbling her bottom lip. "So you like it."

"Like is an understatement. I love it," he says as his fingers work faster.

"Raf, I want you…" Evelyn groans.

He then removes his fingers from her and pulls her panties down. "We won't need these anymore."

"But you said you love them!" She fakes pouts slightly.

"Oh, I do. I'll steal them whenever you leave me here all alone, missing you like crazy. But right now they're getting in my way."

She giggles.

Closing her legs, Rafael holds them close to his chest and slowly plunges into her. Both of them gasp. Once again, he thinks to himself he could spend hours like this, just savoring her warmth around him. But the best is yet to come.

He moves in and out, picking up speed as Evelyn meows louder. Taking his time, he gazes at her once again. Nipples hard, hands clenching the sheets, ragged breath, walls tightening around him. She's so ready. And he could barely wait to finish inside her.

"Faster…" She pleads.

He grins then hammers into her.

Her brows knit together as her body is about to climax. "Raf, I can't hold it…"

"It's okay. Let it go, meu amor…"

Her toes curl as she cries out in ecstasy. Yet he doesn't stop.

"One more?"

"Yes, please." Evelyn smirks.

Still holding her legs, he opens them and lies on her, pressing her lower limbs against her breasts as he sinks deeper.

She gasps as he rams into her. With their face at last so close, their lips meet in hungry kisses, fueled by their need for each other. It doesn't take long for her to find release again, followed by his grunts as he spills his seeds into her.

Once he eases himself out, he lays down beside her and brushes a few locks of hair away from her face. "Are you okay?"

"Am I okay?" She smiles trying to catch her breath. "I'm on cloud nine, babe!"

He chuckles.

"Is there a special reason for these new moves? Besides the lingerie, of course."

"No… I just missed you while you were gone."

"You could've called me."

"I could. But I didn't want to ruin your time with the girls. You haven't gone out much lately. Especially by yourself. You deserve to have fun with your friends."

"Aw… You're so sweet." Evelyn crawls on top of him and gives him a peck. "But I wouldn't have minded if you texted me saying you miss me."

"Would it be too clingy?"

"Not for me. But just in case it felt clingy to you, you could have mentioned everything you planned to do to me when I got home."

"Very well." He grins and kisses the tip of her nose. "Get ready for some serious sexting next time."

Evelyn giggles. "Can't wait."

Summary: A rewrite of 2.11

Word Count: 4,291

(Moodboard created by me)

This whole day had been bad from the start. With what Claire found out was going on between the senator and his assistant Travis. To getting sprayed in with an unknown substance, along with some other people at the hospital who meant a lot to Claire or to people she is close with. Then watching the person she loved the most at the hospital look at her worried. Worried that she might die or that they wasted time because of him being an attending and her being a resident.

Watching Bobby die right in front of her, watching Danny and Travis get wheeled out of the room to different places, watching one of her best friends getting sicker than her and watching him miss his trip to Brazil because he felt the need to protect her was hard and scary. She felt that it was all her fault. Travis even said that it wouldn’t have been this way if she hadn’t stepped in, which she knew he was right.

It was her fault that Bobby’s kids would grow up without their father. It was her fault that Danny’s parents would lose their son. It was her fault that Sienna wouldn’t be able to get together with Danny. It was her fault for letting Rafael jump in and save her. It was her fault that Ethan and the other people in the hospital had to hear and witness this.

Even though Rafael was physically in the room with Claire, she still felt alone and trapped in a bubble. He was progressing at a faster pace than she was and they still had no clue as to what they were sprayed with and if there is even anything that could help them get rid of it. When the rest of the diagnostics team would come in and check up on them, it felt weird and unsettling.

While Claire’s friends and roommates were safely outside the sealed door. It felt that they were millions of miles away and that she was just dreaming that they were there. Ethan tried not to show any emotion around her in fear that it would hurt her to show sadness or worry, but she felt that having a stone expression was way worse. Claire felt that she was in a terrible nightmare that she would never be able to get out of. One that was bad for everyone.

While her friends tried to reassure her, Claire was still worried that they may never figure out what was wrong, especially since Sienna said that Travis had no idea what was in the can and there was no trace of it anywhere, except for inside their bodies. Even when the team came in to give them stuff to alleviate their symptoms, it didn’t help Claire with her worry. Knowing that the FBI was not going to give out any information to the team to help them, Claire kept falling down a worried path in her mind. They only had hours at most to find a cure and with the FBI claiming national security, a petition for them to release it would take weeks.

Claire’s worry only increased as time went on with Bobby already dead, Danny almost on his way there and both her and Rafael’s health declining quickly. With everyone so far, they have nine doctors working on figuring out what the toxin is. They have to cast a wide net of possibilities, which makes the process even longer. Especially since between the FBI and them, they have only ruled out a few different things, including bacterias and viruses.

It has been many hours later and still no idea as to what it could be, even with testing as many vials of blood as both Claire and Rafael could spare. The heart monitor is the only thing Claire was able to use to be able to focus as her vision blurred and the room felt like it was spinning. Rafael letting out a soft moan let Claire know that he was still alive, breathing, and fighting helped to calm her nerves a little bit.

“..Claire? You look terrible right now.”

With his voice barely above a whisper, she was worried about him and how he was feeling. It was hard to see one of her best friends sick with an unknown problem right next to her and knowing that she couldn’t do anything to help it. Especially because at one point, she thought that her and Rafeal could’ve been something more, but they both felt love with someone else.

“Um… rude. I don’t want to hear that when I’m trapped in a room with an unknown fatal disease and surrounded by plastic. It may be honest but it’s not for me right now.” Claire said jokingly.

“Sorry. You look beautiful as always.” It made Claire blush and smile a little bit.

“That’s much better.”

Watching Rafeal get worse and worse is one of the hardest things Claire has experienced so far. As new symptoms came up, her fear increased, mostly for Rafael. Hearing Rafael say that letting the team know about his new symptoms may be able to save her only broke her heart. It felt that her friend was giving up and that he knew that he wasn’t going to make it.

“This is important. I may not make it, but if you track my symptoms, it may-”

“Raf, stop it! Please? I’m mad at you for throwing yourself in front of a hypothetical bullet and risking yourself.”

“But you were in trouble! If I hadn’t done that, I may have forgiven myself.”

“Raf, If you hadn’t done that, I would be in the same position I am in now and you would be safe. You would most likely be on a plane to Brazil right about now.” Claire said while tears streamed down her cheeks.

Raf then gently grabbed her hand and squeezed it as he used his other hand to gently try to wipe her tears.

“You know I care about you a lot, but I have to ask why you keep putting yourself in danger?”

“I honestly don’t know. It feels like it’s my only option when it happens, but now I can’t stop thinking about my vovo.”

His hand slowly starts to lose grip on Claire’s and her tears come back harder than they did before. She encloses his hand with both of hers as she is upset about the current situation.

“Raf, Please stay with me? Please?”

“I think you need to page the team Claire.” Rafael’s voice breaks a few times as he speaks, his heart rate slows down and his breathing shallows.

“I’m so sorry Claire, but this might be the way this ends for me. I’m sorry I couldn’t save you.”

Claire’s blue eyes meet his brown ones. She knows that they are as soft and warm as they were when they met for the first time. She then gently strokes his hair out of his face, feeling the cold sweat in it. Her tears become larger, almost to the point where she can’t see him through them.

“Please Raf. Don’t give up. I know you’ll make it through this. We both will.”

Claire watches him smile for a second and then watches as his eyes flutter closed and how his hand drops away from hers. She then pages the team and both Ethan and June quickly respond and hurry into the room.

“I was hoping the treatment would help buy us some more time.” Ethan said.

“We don’t know that it didn’t already.”

Ethan nods to Claire and both his and June’s eyes fill with sympathy for her.

“We’ll move him to the support suite. We still have a chance to fix this in time to help him, to help the both of you.”

Claire watches as Ethan stares at Rafael. She sees waves of emotion wash over his face. She doesn’t want to ask him but she decides to anyway.

“How is Danny doing?”

Ethan sighs before speaking. “We lost him. He asked to be autopsied before he died so he could help the two of you.”

Claire squeezes her eyes shut tightly. It causes the pressure in her head to be so great that it feels like it wants to explode at any second. She then takes a deep breath and opens her eyes to turn towards Ethan, who is busy prepping to transfer Rafael to the support suite. She then mentioned all of Raf’s symptoms to Ethan and June, which caused June to speak up about something she saw a while ago.

“Come on. We need to follow up on what you’re thinking. If we move fast enough we can help.” Ethan says as he looks down at Rafael.

“Stay strong for us Claire. We’ll come back with more info soon.” June said as she secured the barrier over the bed Rafeal was in.

Both Ethan and June carefully wheeled him out through the decontamination room and down the hallway, leaving Claire fully alone to her own thoughts. She was hoping it wasn’t too late for Rafael. She was also starting to panic. She didn’t tell anyone except for Sienna about her fear of the dark and her fear about rooms closing in on her. It was late at night and she was in a room on the side of the hospital that did not have much light, so it was very dark outside which creeped her out, and the eerie feeling inside of her didn’t help.

Claire started to curl up into a ball on her bed once they left the room. It had been a long while since Claire was in a hospital as a patient, but that was also back home in New York and one of her parents was with her, especially when the doctor or a nurse wasn’t in the room. But now she was in a city that was 6 hours away from home, with an unknown toxin in her body, and no clue if her parents were even outside the door. When Claire would get scared of the dark and feel that the room was closing in on her, her mother would come and try to help her through it.

She felt so alone and isolated in the room. With minimal lighting and plastic surrounding her, she was scared. It was hard to sit on the bed with having a fear that the team may not have an idea of what it could be and that both her and Rafael might die. Claire let more tears fall freely down her face. She hoped that everything will be okay and that they have a shot of staying alive.

She eventually calmed her crying down a bit to straighten her legs and wipe her tears. It quickly built up again as she started to think that all of this is her fault and her fault only. Claire feels that she is the only one to blame for Bobby and Danny’s deaths. Both of their families would blame and hate her for the rest of their lives. That is what her mind was telling her in the somewhat empty and quiet room. She tried to lay down and close her eyes to try and get rid of these thoughts but it didn’t work.

When Claire’s friends and fellow members of the diagnostics team arrived at the window of the room, they looked very upset. It caused Claire to worry a lot because it could have been about what she and Rafael had, or it could’ve been that Raf had died. She was thinking of all the worst possible things to explain to herself as to why they had those looks on their faces.

“So.. How doomed am I?”

“‘Doomed’ isn't the right word I would use Claire. Especially since the hunch I had was right.” June said.

“It is the right word. I can see it written all over your faces. Please just tell me what I have.”

“You have a maitotoxin. It’s one that I’ve never seen before. It was also still active in Danny’s body postmortem, including on his skin. It’s still dangerous.” Ethan spoke up. His expression was flat and kind of hard for Claire to read.

Claire begins to recognize the name and begins looking in her mind for any more information she can find on it.

“Maitotoxin. It’s taken from fish parasites, and there’s no cure for it either. So let it kill me.”

“You're okay with this?” Jackie said.

“What other choice do I have?”

Ethan then looks at Claire with sad eyes. He tries to stay strong for her as she looks at him through the window.

“Now is not the time to give up Evans. With Rafael stepping in, you didn’t get as much of the toxin, so the symptoms you have aren’t as advanced.”

“But there is no cure for it.”

“Yet. We are going to work around the clock to create one.”

“And you won’t be alone.”

Claire turned as much as she could to see Aurora, Tobias, and other doctors from Mass Kenmore approaching the door. She knew that Tobias has a heart somewhat. She also guessed that Aurora was a part of getting them here, which she is very grateful for, even after their argument.

“Tobias?”

“Save it Ramsey. This is bigger than any petty thing that is going on between us or the hospitals. We’re not letting Claire die on our watch.”

“Aurora… I can’t tell you how grateful I am for this.” Claire said as she turned to Aurora.

“So don’t. You can thank me by staying alive.”

“I will do my best.”

“We’ve set up a basecamp at the laboratory. We can lead you there now.” June says as she gets everyone back to focus.

“Count me in on this. Chemistry was my best subject at school.” Elijah said as he and many of the other doctors made it down to the lab.

A few other people still remained at the door including Sienna, who has fierceness in her eyes while many tears make their way down her cheeks. Claire felt bad for saying that she wanted to give up in front of Sienna, especially since one of the people she loved most at the hospital died.

“Don’t you dare die on us Claire. Don’t get into a coma either. Just stay alive. Do you hear me?”

“I hear you Sienna.”

Sienna slowly backs up and Bryce appears at the door next.

“Hey.” Bryce says.

“Hi.”

“Just don’t give up. Please.”

Bryce then backs up and Jackie appears at the door. Claire can see her eyes water as she approaches.

“We don’t need you leaving us. Not yet.”

She then backs up and the three of them wave to Claire before heading to the laboratory. She turns and notices that Ethan is still standing in the hallway. He then slowly approaches the door, similar to how her friends did and gently places his hand on the glass. Claire then held her hand up and placed it on the other side of the glass, directly across from Ethan’s. Her blue eyes then looked straight into his blue ones.

“Are you okay Ethan?”

“No. But you don’t need to hear about it. You need rest. Have you tried to get any sleep?”

“I tried. But with the thought of Bobby and Danny being gone already and wondering if Rafael is alright, or whether he’s already…” Claire couldn’t finish her sentence and it was silent for a few seconds.

“Do you want me to stay with you for a while?”

“They won’t need you?”

“Tobias knows what he is doing. Considering what we know about maitotoxins, Elijah was right about this being a chemistry problem now. This is where I can do my best, as long as you want me here with you.”

Claire thought about it for a second. Maybe having Ethan there to help comfort her would help this feeling of loneliness she has.

“If this is my last night alive. I want to spend it with you here.”

“I would feel the same exact way about you if I was in your position.”

“Really?”

“Yes really Evans.”

Ethan then gently lowered his hand from the glass to go put on one of the suits before entering the room. She then dropped her hand to let Ethan take it and lead her over to the bed. Claire slowly got into the bed and he helped to cover her with a blanket before grabbing a chair and pulling it up right next to her bed.

“Now, I need you to lie down for me. I know it might sound weird but you need to try to relax and think of something happy.”

“I’ve been trying but I feel like there has been so many things that I have done wrong. Like I should have traveled more, I should have hung out with my friends more, I should’ve loved more.”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean that I have spent most of my life focusing on school and work. I guarded my heart because I was worried that it would break because of the way I do things. I didn’t travel because I wanted to be ahead of my work and feared that if I stopped doing that then I would fall behind. I was scared to meet friends because I wasn’t sure how long I would be in the area.”

Ethan then realized what she meant. He had done the same thing to himself when he was her age. It was mostly because of his family and his pettiness with Tobias but he saw many similarities between what Claire described of herself and what Ethan remembers from his 20’s. Two pairs of blue eyes met each other as they both wished there wasn’t the barrier of plastic between them.

“Since we are sharing our regrets, can I share one of mine?”

“Go ahead.”

Ethan then brought one of his gloved hands to hers and gently wrapped it around hers.

“I wish that I hadn’t pushed you away. I wasted so much time because I kept trying to get away from you. I should have held you every day and told you how much I… How much I care about you.”

“Ethan. You know you mean a lot to me. When we first met, I felt so intimidated by you. Now I feel that I can trust you with anything, no matter what it is about. You are a part of making the doctor who I am today.”

Ethan let out a light sigh as he looked at Claire. “I see a lot of myself in you. I mean it’s not exactly like looking into a mirror, but there are many things. I’m sure you will far surpass me someday.”

Claire gently touches Ethan’s arm as her smile faded. Her smile faded because her skin was only able to touch the plastic suit.

“What’s wrong Claire?”

“It just hit me that Rafael might be the last real human contact I ever get to have that is not through plastic.”

Ethan sighs again and gently joins her on the bed.

“Claire. Look at me please.” he then gently turns to look at his eyes.

“You can’t think like that. You can’t give up.”

“Ok. But I can kiss you… sort of.”

Claire then gently took his gloved hand in hers and gave it a small kiss. He then turned it over and cupped her chin gently. Ethan then used his thumb to stroke her cheek through the suit.

“Claire..”

“Can I speak for a moment?” Claire said which caused Ethan to nod.

“Even though there have been other people in this room. I have never felt more alone in my life today than any other day. It’s also not just about having the toxin either. I felt so alone even when Raf was in here with me. Then when you guys came in and wheeled him away… I felt so scared and alone with my thoughts. I kept thinking how all of this is my fault.”

Ethan looked very upset. “Claire. None of this is your fault. The blame is all put onto Travis.”

“But it is my fault. If I hadn’t stepped in Bobby would be at home with his family, Sienna and Danny would probably be talking each other’s ears off, and Rafael would be in Brazil.”

Ethan noticed more tears start to form and fall from Claire’s eyes. This caused him to wrap his arms around her and gently try to wipe the tears from her face.

“If you hadn't stopped this, Travis and Danny may still have been in the same situation along with the senator. The toxin would’ve also spread through the whole hospital, which would’ve hurt more people. While Rafael didn’t have to step in, he did it to help you. I don’t want you to continue to beat yourself up over this. I know I can’t control what happens but I want to be there and help you through all of this. I want you to tell me if there is anything wrong so I can try and help fix it.”

Neither of them said anything else as they laid there together. Claire’s eyes locked with Ethan’s as she felt sleep trying to slowly approach her. She then snuggled into his arms more.

“I am glad that I at least got to hold you one last time…”

“Claire.. I promise this won’t be the last time.”

Claire slowly fell asleep in Ethan’s arms. Once Ethan felt that she was definitely asleep. Ethan let the tears flow down his face freely. He was scared for her and not just because of the toxin.

When Claire woke up the next morning in pain, Ethan was in the chair next to the bed and immediately moved closer to help her.

“It’s okay Claire. You’ll be okay.”

Not much time passed before the team of doctors appeared outside the door.

“Claire! We did it!” Aurora said.

Claire was only able to see their outlines because her vision was so blurry. It made it hard for her to distinguish everyone.

“What?”

“You have an antidote?” Ethan said.

June and Baz then came into the room. They were coming in and out of focus as they entered. They were exhausted but they also looked hopeful.

“We’ve managed to create a compound that will bind to the maitotoxin and prevent it from attaching to your plasma membranes. It should keep this from progressing further while your body flushes out the rest of the toxin. We didn’t have much time to test it.” Tobias stated.

“What about Raf? He is more sick than I am.”

“We already gave it to him but so far there has been no change. We might be too late for him.” Sienna said.

“But he hasn’t gotten any worse so it has to mean something!” Elijah added.

“Either way this looks like it is the best shot I have.”

“Would you like to do the honors, Ethan?” June says as she gently holds out the injection.

“I would.”

He gently takes it from June as Claire presents her arm to him, barely being able to hold it up. Baz then comes over to help her and hold her arm as Ethan gets the injection ready.

“Ready?”

“It’s now or never. Let’s do this.”

Ethan then smoothly inserts the needle into Claire’s arm and dispenses the serum.

“And now we wait and hope.”

After everyone including Ethan left the room, Claire started to feel a little bit better about the situation. She still felt that it was her fault, but she didn’t show it when June would come in every hour to test her blood or when her friends came up to the window.

Everything slowly started to feel normal again. Her blood pressure stabilized, the nausea receded, and the world came back into a sharper focus. Then Ethan waltzed through the doors without a suit on and a smile on his face.

“Get up.”

“You mean it worked?”

“It did. There’s no trace of it left in your bloodstream, Even if there are still traces of it in the room, we know that we can-”

Claire then ran out of bed and wrapped his arms around him in a big and tight hug.

“What you’re saying is that I’m free to do this?”

“Yes. I am also saying that I am free to do this.”

Ethan then gently took Claire’s chin into his hand and pulled her in for a kiss. He didn’t even bother looking to see if anyone was watching and Claire didn’t stop him. She then felt a tear fall down her face, but she didn’t know who it belonged to. Eventually Claire was able to come out of the room.

Once the elevator opened for her friends. She saw their pale faces that needed very many hours of sleep. They all still greeted her with enough smiles and love to take her breath away.

“We’re so excited to see you outside of the bubble.”

“I agree.”

“We were so scared for you.”

“So was I. Last night was the worst night of my life.”

“Losing Bobby and Danny too.”

“And Raf…”

“Oh stop it. Raf’s in a coma, he’s not dead.”

All of her friends surrounded her and made her very happy. The love they were showing her was more than enough and it made her feel a lot better about this situation. It also made her realize that she had people to lean on and talk to about this. Especially Ethan.

A/n: I decided to stop it there for right now because I don't want to make it too long. But if someone does want me to continue this I can make a part 2/rewrite of 2.12
