“Pete, if you do anything to hurt Violet, I promise you I’ll make you live to regret it. She’s my best friend and she’s been with enough assholes, alright? If you can’t treat her the way she deserves then stay away from her.” Perhaps Cooper was being a tad overprotective, but he didn’t want to see Violet get hurt by yet another man; particularly one they worked closely with every day. // @drpxtewilder

If there was one thing Cooper hated, it was seeing his kids in such a distressed state. He knew there likely wasn't much he could do or say to help, but he hoped by just being here for her it would be of some comfort to Georgia. A quick kiss to the top of her head was followed by him wrapping his arm around her shoulders, gently rubbing her arm in what he hoped was a soothing motion. Then she was asking about ice cream and he looked down at her.

"You do know who you're talking to, right? There's never a day that goes by that there's not some form of ice cream in this house. What flavor do you want? I think we have chocolate chip, rocky road, and cookie dough. Or I can get us each a heaping helping of each and we can throw on some scary movie that'll get your mind off things."

Georgia had a terrible week. A lost patient for her meant a baby never got their chance at life and she delivered the worst news possible to parents that had already been through hell. On top of that her boyfriend had cheated on her with an old friend he told her not to worry about. Red flag, right? Next time she would cut her losses and run like Caroline had advised. Instead, Georgia had wanted to believe in the two years she'd spent with the guy and that they had truly meant something to him. Wiping her eyes, she leaned her head onto her dad's shoulder on the couch -- having not wanted to cure her heartbreak tonight alongside anyone else. The tears really started to flow with the comfort of being with her dad.

"Out of the three of you girls? No, definitely not the kiss ass." He had to agree on that point, but he would also admit that he tended to go on and on about certain topics. It was something Charlotte often pointed out to him, though she was very much the type to tell him to shut up and he was talking to much. Her bluntness was one of the things that attracted him to the doctor, even all these years later. "You're right, though - I don't have much experience with the medicine you practice. My patients are all really young and generally easier to manage." The parents, though... that was another story.

An exaggerated mock gasp of astonishment followed her fathers words. ❝ Dad I would never do such a thing! You know I always appreciate your advice… and I’m not a peace keeper like Georgia. ❞ This was almost laughably untrue as Rachel often kept her own feelings to herself because she didn't think she should inconvenience other people. While she often went to Addison for direct business advice, she also asked her dad for help with various things within the practice since he had been within the world of private practice for so long. ❝ Things are obviously different for endocrine patients… so sometimes your wisdom doesn’t always apply but I’ll always appreciate it. ❞ She may have zoned out a little bit as he rambled and agreed because she had been doing her own brainstorming and not hearing the point of his story, but he didn’t have to know that. ❝ You don’t think I’m that much of a kiss ass do you? ❞
