If we ever got to see a Doug and Carol wedding, and Mark lived, I headcanon that Mark would've given Carol away. He was her Lamaze coach, he was there when her kids where born. Her dad's dead and the only other male figure we see she's close to in her family is her Uncle.

They decide in secret, Mark is Doug's best man already and they're not even sure if Mark can have 2 roles but eventually said screw the rules it's their wedding.

Doug is getting stressed because Mark's nowhere to be seen before the ceremony starts. Elizabeth's looking for him, everyone's worried because it's about to start, they get told by Carol to go ahead and watch as the flower girls, ring bearers, bridesmaids and groomsmen (bar Mark) walk in. Then Carol comes in, with Mark on her arm, and everything's okay again.

Okay I’ve been watching ER for the first time and I just watched the ep where Doug and Carol get together which is something I did not spoil for myself by researching on the interwebs and HOLY SHIT asdfghjkl

Firstly, an honorable mention for the ep, when Carol walks in wearing her dress for her date and Doug literally does a 360 to see her, I may make a gifset of it it’s so funny and cute, unless I can get @livelovecaliforniadreams to do it bc they make much better gifs than I could.

Okay, now on to the big stuff in the ep. When the new Pediatrics resident showed up I was a little sus of her, as I am with every new character because I couldn’t get a read on her. When she ended up in Doug’s car, I was thinking oh dear god don’t let this happen don’t let him screw this up and drag it out we were so close to canon Hathaross. And honestly I was mostly gonna blame it on the new Pediatrics resident lol, as we do with anyone who tries to get in the way of our ship. And then when she asked “How long has it been since you and Carol Hathaway broke up?”??? My respect for her went 📈📈 And when Doug replied “A long time, actually…” kind of laughing at how obvious he is I ekfbienekdjeb

And then when Carol was dropped back off at her place my first thought was why didn’t this guy walk her to the door? And when Doug showed up I honestly didn’t think it was the moment, just thought it was gonna be more cute buildup. When Doug asked why Toby wasn’t allowed inside and Carol said it was only the third date, my Big Bang Theory fan brain said Well actually Bernie told Howard that after three dates sex is on the table so if he was the one you really wanted you could have… just saying 😉

And finally it switched to that close up on the two of them and I realized this was it and all the air left my body. And HOLY SHIT that kiss!! I’ve never seen a first kiss where there wasn’t music and/or the camera panning around them, and wow did it send a message!! Nothing else, just them, Hathaross, finally together.

Yay 😁

she got her happiness <3

[everybodyknows-everybodydies]

ahahaha @knightlysoulsnatcher​ do you want to cry

letter from Carol to Doug, handwritten and sent via fax. transcribed to the best of my ability:

Hey Doug,

I know we said no contact for a while - it only makes it harder. I miss you. But that’s not why I’m writing to you - what I’m going to tell you is something that I am happy about. It’s taken me a while to get used to the idea but I am used to it now and I want to be able to tell you this without you coming back because of it. If you were to come back it has to be because of [not 100% sure what this word is], not this. I’m pregnant! We’re pregnant! As ironic as it all is, there you go. After all the trying I guess I finally gave up on the idea of ever getting pregnant and with all that went on I forgot we had been trying. I’ve always wanted to have a baby with you Doug, but I am resolved to bring this child up without you if I have to; I don’t ever want you blaming me for a life you could have had. I know how much you love me - I do believe in my heart of hearts that we were meant to be together, but I don’t want you to feel guilty if you’re not ready for a child, with all that you are going through; don’t come home if

SO BASICALLY. SHE TELLS HIM HE’S GOING TO BE A DAD. AND THEN DESPITE HOW CAREFUL HER LANGUAGE IS YOU KNOW, YOU KNOWWWWWW HE READS THIS AS “DON’T COME BACK.” CRYING

[haenels]

rewatching er and the scene when carol goes to see doug after she’s been rejected as a foster mom to tatiana 🫠

like yes she goes for physical comfort but she also goes because doug was the only person who didnt think she was crazy for wanting to foster tatiana and “you were exactly what she needed” and “you are the only person who thinks that” and HE KNOWS HER because he knows what he has lost without her and he’s the only person who truly understands what a brilliantly beautiful heart carol hathaway has

and doug loves carol so so so much and he’s wanted her to come back for so long but he knows she’s way too emotionally affected to even begin to think rationally and he also knows that she will not let him do that to her again and overstepping any physical lines would end up destroying her trust in him completely so he gives her a little peck on her forehead and makes sure she feels safe and gets home safe and stays yearning for her within her own boundaries for the next 2 seasons 🥺

not to shit on anyones picnic but no love story will ever be as great as doug and carols ❤️

doug asking carol to say "that thing that i always say first" and her responding with a smile and an "i love you" SICK AND TWISTED

[vitalinae]

Somehow, I reawakened my Hathaross obsession

So, now you have a loss of appetite and insomnia because of me? I’m surprised I lived. Sounds serious. Uh huh. Shut up and kiss me.

[elstabler]

whatever you do don’t think about carol and doug getting married and the girls walking in with the rings and about how doug will purposely switch the girls’ names just to tease them and how carol’s heart will feel full everytime she hears the girls giggling and squealing daddy as doug picks them up and hugs them -

[missflufffanfics]

Okay I have an idea for a Hathaross fic, but would anyone else read it? This is my idea/summary:

Post 3x15 “The Long Way Around”, in which, after all that, Carol realizes she still doesn’t have any milk, and Doug owes her after the Christmas incident with Charlie, right?

Today’s story from the @februaryficletchallenge also fills a prompt from my @mfbingo card, as I used High School AU. It’s not often that a prompt event and a fandom Bingo card have a crossover but I always take advantage when they do!
