AN: I wrote this one day after being in the nursery to help out. I got to spend time with a baby girl who spent her first day there. I know her two older siblings, and I know the family and was excited to meet her, but she was not happy to be there. Luckily, she didn't scream the entire time, but she did pretty much fussed for the first half-hour. Then I got her distracted with a musical toy enough so that she calmed down and chewed on a car for the rest of the time. Luckily for her, fussy and crying babies don't freak me out at all, but the separation anxiety is still hard because I know they don't trust me yet. I just started thinking about how Jo would have a hard time if it were her kid, due to her abandonment with her birth mom, but that Alex would be there and would help her through it and so this idea popped into my head, and I just had to write it.

……………………………………………………………………

It was Alex and Jo's first day back at work after four wonderful months of leave with their new baby, Helena. Things were finally getting back to normal as the Pandemic had officially ended, and regular surgery schedules were resuming at the hospital. It was Alex’s first day being away from his girls for more than an hour and he missed them a lot. So the first chance he got to take a lunch break, he went straight down to the daycare center. His intention was to pick up Helena and pop up over to the OB floor and grab Jo for lunch.

However, when he got to the daycare, the lead teacher, Sonia, informed him that Jo had come in with Helena and stayed with her for an hour. They had planned for Jo to get her used to the daycare and to Sonia and then leave. However, Sonia said that the first time Helena had cried, Jo had swooped in and taken her back. Alex sighed and thanked Sonia before he headed back up to the fourth floor.

He knew that this would be hard for Jo, especially with her abandonment issues and separation anxiety stressing the situation. At first, she didn’t let anyone other than him hold Helena, not even Meredith or Link. They had been working through things in therapy together and it had gotten better over the past few months. Jo had gotten more comfortable with other people holding Helena, but if she cried, it was all over, and Jo needed to have her back. Alex knew that Jo's anxieties about leaving her at daycare would be an ongoing thing, but they had talked that morning, and Jo had said she was ready.

Despite this, Alex still smiled when he saw them on the OB floor together. Jo had Helena wrapped in the moby and was talking with the nurses. He knew she and Carina had a surgery planned for later this afternoon. It was a laparotomy for an endometriosis case she had that would take less than an hour. With Jo busy in surgery, it would be a great opportunity for him to put Helena in the daycare as Jo would be focused on something other than her separation anxiety.

Helena squealed and waved her hands, smiling as she caught sight of Alex. All the nurses smiled at him as they left, and Jo turned and smiled as well, grabbing Helena's hands. “Look, it's Daddy.”

“There are my girls,” Alex said as he leaned in, kissing Helena’s head before greeting Jo with a quick kiss to her lips. “So, no daycare today?”

“No, I thought it'd be better for her to join me on my rounds, and she has charmed all of the nurses so far, isn't that right, baby girl?” Jo said, smiling down at her as Helena reached out with her chubby fingers to grab Jo's chin.

“Jo,” Alex sighed before she cut him off.

“We’re just not ready, okay,” Jo insisted, raising her voice as she folded her arms protectively over Helena. “She cried ceaselessly after I left and I just can't let her cry. I know that it’s good for her to be with other caregivers and to be around other kids, but I’m just not ready to be away from her for a whole day.”

“I was going to say that if you think Helena’s not ready and you need more time off, then maybe we should go home?” Alex said, wrapping his arms around her waist and leading them down the hall to a more private setting.

Jo bit her lip and looked away from Helena and him. As much as she loved her baby and loved being with her, Jo also missed working, and he knew it. This surgery had been all she could talk about for the last week.

“I don't want to put her in daycare, but I want to do the surgery this afternoon. I just wish that I could bring her in there with me, as silly as that sounds.”

“It's not silly at all,” Alex said, tilting his head as he rubbed his hand up and down her back. “Why don't you and I get lunch and you can feed her and then I’ll hold her while she naps. Then maybe I will take her to daycare with me and just hang out and see how she does. Then after your surgery, we can trade off for the rest of the day, or if you want to go home, we can go home.”

“What about your patients? I thought you had a surgery today too?” Jo asked as her brows creased together.

“It got pushed to this evening because the parents fed the kid breakfast,” Alex said with a shrug. Despite their clear instructions, this did occasionally happen, and they had pushed the surgery to the evening.

“Okay,” Jo said with a nod, still not entirely on board with the idea, but at least she looked more relaxed.

They got situated in the cafeteria with lunch. Alex took Helena for a minute as she began to fuss and pulled at Jo’s pink scrub top, squealing when she couldn't get it down. Helena whined and cried as she was eager to nurse and was frustrated with him and his inability to feed her. Jo finally took her back and got her latched on her breast, much to Helena’s delight. As she nursed, her fussing turned into happy little eating grunts that Jo always said he made when he was happy. As they ate lunch, several of the nurses and other doctors came over to say hi and coo at Helena. After Alex burped her, Helena's eyes quickly dropped as she fell asleep in his arms.

After lunch, they went up to the surgery floor as Jo met with Carian, and they prepped for their laparotomy. Together they walked to the door of the OR’s scrub room. Jo wiped away Helena’s drool from her chin and adjusted the blanket again before pulling back and just staring at her. Jo bit her lip and swayed back and forward as if she was swaying with Helena and her arms.

“Say it again,” Jo insisted, her eyes glued to Helena.

“I'm going to hold her while she naps so that she wakes up with me there,” Alex said, going over the plan with Jo again as he watched her continue to sway. “Then we're going to go down to the daycare and play with Scout and if she feels comfortable, I’ll leave, but I'll make sure that she's okay before I do. Then I'll meet you back here after your surgery and we will go down and pick her up from daycare together.”

“Okay,” Jo said, but despite her words, Alex knew she was hesitant about it, and to be honest, so was he. However, he wasn’t worried about how Helena would do in daycare, but rather how Jo would be with her separation anxiety.

“Jo,” Alex said, waiting until she looked up to catch his eye to demonstrate a deep breath. She mirrored his breath, slowly coming down. “Raise the arm of the patient.”

“Raise the arm of the patient,” Jo said, kicking off her shoes and planting both of her feet on the ground before she continued the steps aloud. “Count down to the 4th intercostal space. Prep and drape in a sterile fashion. Inject with lidocaine, make an incision above the rib...”

Alex nodded and they went over the procedure together. As Jo talked, she stopped swaying, and Alex could see her take deeper and more steady breaths as she calmed down. When she finished, Jo paused and nodded. Alex smiled and leaned in to kiss her before she put her shoes back on.

Jo gave Helena's head one last kiss before she turned around to face the door. Alex saw her shoulders rise again as she took another deep breath and opened the door. Jo turned around and Alex gave her a reassuring smile and a thumbs-up before the door closed. He waited there watching as Jo scrubbed in as she occasionally glanced back at him. After she finished scrubbing, Alex gave her one final wave before she nodded and walked into the OR. Alex took a deep breath as he realized how nervous he was for her before he took a few steps back, taking another deep breath as he finally walked down the hallway.

Alex took Helena up to the pediatric ward and rounded on a few of his patients, all of whom were intrigued by the baby in Alex's arms. Even the teenagers who always complained about the other screaming babies on the ward were interested to see one that was cute and asleep, but more so to poke fun at Alex for being a dad.

Alex had one of the nurses texting him from the OR and they told him Carina and Jo's laparotomy surgery was running longer than expected. Helena slept for almost an hour before waking up and promptly spitting up all over him. Alex sighed and changed into a new pair of scrubs before taking Helena down to the nursery.

Sonia welcomed him back, but he didn't check Helena in just yet. Instead, he laid her down next to Scout and played with them for a few minutes. Then he tentatively let Sonia take his place and hold Helena in her lap. Helena kept looking back at him every few minutes to double-check that he was there before returning to her play. Eventually, though, she started to check in with Sonia as well, and it was then that Alex knew he could leave.

Alex looked up at the clock, he knew Jo would be out within the next few minutes, and if he was going to do this, he had to do it now. He leaned down and placed a kiss on Helena’s head before quietly leaving the daycare. Then he turned around the corner and froze as he heard Helena start to cry and Sonia gently trying to reassure her. Alex knew that she was taken care of, that Sonia was holding her, rocking her, and comforting her, not just letting her cry it out. Alex told himself that he would just wait for a few minutes to see how she would do.

Ask any parent, and they will tell you that the worst part of leaving your kid was hearing them cry as you left. It broke his heart. Alex was good at remaining calm in the face of a crying baby. If you're going to be a Peds surgeon, then you have to get used to crying babies. At a certain point, you learn to remain calm no matter how hard they cry, but that didn't stop him from rubbing a hole in his scrub pants as he sat on a gurney in the hall. Alex rubbed his hands up and down his legs, desperately trying to resist the urge to go in there and comfort her.

When her cries stopped after the longest minute of his life, he sighed in relief. He tiptoed over to peek through the window to check on her. At first, he didn’t see them, but then he spotted Sonia with Helena in the rocking chair with a book. He watched them for a minute more as they read together until Scout walked over, and Helena smiled as he waved a ring toy in her face.

Alex tiptoed away, content that Helena was okay, and went back to the OR gallery to watch Jo and her surgery. Jo was in her zone as she commanded the OR. As she finished, she even let the intern finish closing, overseen by Carina, of course. Alex rushed down to meet Jo as she exited the OR. Still wearing her blue scrub cap, Jo's smile fell the second she saw that his arms were empty.

“Where is she?” Jo asked, instantly panicking.

“She is in the daycare playing with Scout, but she’s not crying, and she’s been there less than an hour,” Alex reassured her, putting two hands on her shoulders and rubbing up and down her arms.

“She's okay. She’s in the daycare, just like we planned,” Jo said, still swimming with a far-off look in her eyes as she took a few deep breaths.

“Yes, I kept her with me while she napped, and we went and played with Scout for a little while. Then I left her with Sonia, but before I left, she was happily playing with Scout. She was fine, Jo.”

“Okay, this is a good thing,” Jo said, nodding, still trying to convince herself of it.

“It is. It’s good for her socially and developmentally to be around other kids and with other caregivers,” Alex nodded, giving her shoulders a squeeze.

“I still hate it, though,” Jo said, looking like she was going to cry and Alex questioned whether it was the best thing to do.

“Okay, then let’s go pick her up, but before we get her, let’s just look through the window. I want you to see how well she’s doing,” Alex said, putting his arm around Jo’s waist as they started to walk down the hall.

“Okay,” Jo said, slipping out of his arms and taking off to run down the hall.

Alex ran after her, and he knew that she wouldn’t calm down until she saw Helena. Jo looked like she was going to throw up as they both ran down to the daycare. He thought that it would be better for her if he dropped Helena off. That way, it would be easier for Jo to get used to it if she didn't have to leave Helena herself. However, watching now as she panicked in the elevator, he second guessed himself. Alex wrapped his arm around Jo’s waist as they turned the corner, pulling her back before she entered the daycare in a panic. He held Jo against his chest and pointed at Helena through the window as he saw her laugh from her spot on the carpet.

“Look.”

Helena was sitting with Sonia, playing peek-a-boo and laughing every time Sonia dropped the blanket to smile at her. Her full belly laugh rang through the room and it was like music to Alex’s ears. Finally, Jo let out a breath, relaxing back into his arms, and he put his head on her shoulder. They watched their baby laugh for a moment as Jo squeezed his hands.

“She’s laughing,” Jo said with a smile.

“Yeah, she is. She’s happy there,” Alex said, smiling and tilting his head to kiss Jo’s cheek.

“I still need her back though,” Jo said, taking a step forward and pulling Alex with her.

“Okay then, let’s go get her.”

Jo ran forward into the daycare and Helena squealed and smiled as she started bouncing when she saw her mom. Jo leaned down to pick her up and planted a dozen kisses on her cheeks. Helena grabbed onto her hair and giggled as she looked at Jo. As mother and daughter were reunited, they seemed to stare into each other's eyes and have a silent conversation. Alex loved the bond that Jo and Helena had. They seemed to be completely mesmerized with the other at times as if it was just them alone, despite the crowded room around them.

Alex thanked Sonia, who said she did really well, and they enjoyed their time together. Jo only had eyes for Helena though, as Alex wrapped his arms around her as he led her towards the attending’s lounge. They settled down on the couch together and Helena was babbling as Jo talked to her in a back and forth conversation. Alex pulled out a couple of teether toys, and their conversation paused as Helena started chewing on one of the wings of a butterfly shaped toy.

“It was good that she was in daycare today,” Jo finally said, looking over at him with a solemn nod.

“Yeah?” Alex asked, looking at Jo, as he hugged her shoulders and he could tell she was still struggling.

“I just don't know if I'm ready to do this. From the moment she was conceived, we’ve never been apart for more than an hour,” Jo said, her voice breaking as she pulled Helena closer. “I don’t want her to think that I’ve left her. My mother left me. One day I cried and she picked me up, and the next, she put me down and she never picked me up again. She never wanted to touch me again.”

“You are not your birth mother, Jo,” Alex said, wrapping his arms around her. “You want to hold our baby. You will always pick Helena back up and you will always come back for her.”

“She doesn't know that!” Jo stressed, looking over at him.

“You’re right. She doesn't know that, at least not yet,” Alex said, remaining calm and using a slow and steady voice. “But she will learn to depend on her new caregivers and know that we will come back for her. We're not abandoning her Jo, she's just learning to trust us more and trust someone else too.”

Helena grabbed at Jo’s scrub top as she laid her head on Jo’s shoulder. Jo closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around Helena, completely enveloping her. “Every time I set her down, I can still feel the weight of her on my chest. I ache for her and I know she aches for me too.”

Alex nodded, he felt that ache too, and sometimes after Helena fell asleep, he’d just hold her, even if it was late at night. He just couldn’t take the feeling of the emptiness in his arms. At this point, he knew that there was nothing he could say or do that would make Jo feel better about leaving Helena at daycare. All he could do was give her time and if Jo decided that she needed more time, then he would support her.

“But I did enjoy my surgery this afternoon. It felt so good to practice medicine and talk to other adults and not just spew medical jargon at my child while she drools and spits up on me,” Jo teased Helena and wiped away a spot of drool on her chin with her thumb.

“Well, then maybe we can work something out and do alternative shifts?” Alex said with a shrug.

“But then we'd never see each other,” Jo whined, looking over at him with a frown.

“So, what do you want to do?” Alex asked, letting out a breath and trying to figure out a way that Jo could have the best of both worlds. Medicine and motherhood. Maybe he should ask Meredith, as she had a good work-life balance.

Jo looked back at Helena, who looked up at her and smiled before burying her face, mouth first in Jo’s shoulder and chewing on her pink scrub top. “I can't leave her if she cries and I don't know if I'm ready to be away from her for a full twelve-hour shift, but I'm ready to go back to work. I miss work.”

“So we'll talk to Bailey and Carina get you on a part-time shift and you can see her on all your breaks,” Alex said with a shrug, trying to seem nonchalant and make this easy for her.

Jo nodded and took a deep breath before lifting Helena up and putting her in Alex’s arms. “I can't leave her if she cries. However, if you’re okay with dropping her off at the daycare and making sure she’s okay, then we should do that, and I'll be okay. Then after your shift’s over, we’ll meet you and then we can all go home together.”

“That sounds good and you could always bring her to see me on the Peds floor. I’d never turn down a visit from my girls,” Alex said, as Jo laid her head on his shoulder, and he held Helena as she reached for a toy. “It will get easier.”

“I know,” Jo said with a sigh. “And I will always pick her back up again.”

“Yeah, you can pick her up until she's a teenager and she’s screaming at you to leave her alone,” Alex said with a laugh that Jo shared, and he was happy to see her smile and laugh with him.

“As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be,” Jo said, leaning down to kiss her head.

Alex smiled as he held his girls. They both giggled at Helena as she swung her toy around, almost taking off Alex’s nose. Jo had both of her hands on Helena’s waist, almost holding her.

“Do you want her back?”

“Yes,” Jo said, already taking her out of his arms.

Alex just laughed, he didn’t mind that Jo held her every waking hour because at night, it was his turn. He could hold her for as long as he wanted. Ever since she was a newborn, he would take on the majority of her night time care so Jo could get some extra rest. He would stay up and just hold her and sing to her, even after she fell asleep in his arms.

Alex watched as Jo held Helena and talked to her, completely enchanted and in love with a little girl in her arms. Jo tried her hardest to do right by Helena and give her everything she needed and more.

“She’ll be all right, Jo, because you are an excellent mom and you make me a better Dad. Helena has everything that we didn't as kids. She has a mom who wants to spend every minute with her and a dad who adores her. If she has to be in daycare for a few hours a day, she’s going to be fine. She will be a well adjusted, emotionally stable kid. She’s going to be okay because she has us looking out for her.”

“Yeah?” Jo asked, a little hesitant as she looked up at him.

“Yes,” Alex said for sure with a single nod.

Jo nodded and leaned in to kiss him. “You help me be a good Mom, thank you.”

“You’re the reason I’m a Dad at all and you help me be a good Dad too,” Alex said, leaning his forehead against her head. “We help each other, that's what we're supposed to do. We help each other so that we can help her.”

Jo laughed and pulled back. “Since when did you become so wise and all-knowing.”

“I'm a Dad now. I've got Dad wisdom,” Alex said, tilting his chin up.

“You've also got Dad jokes,” Jo said as she giggled and bounced Helena in her lap. “And they're not even good ones.”

“Excuse you,” Alex said, swatting her shoulder, but she just kept laughing.

Alex loved the sound of her laugh, even if it was at his expense and he pulled her in for a real kiss. He kissed her long enough that Helena started to squawk and demand their attention as she grabbed at their cheeks with chubby hands. They pulled back with another laugh and looked back at their little girl. Helena and Jo were going to be just fine, Alex would make sure of it.

Choices October Challenge

Day 2 Teaching

(Bryce Lahela x MC*Chris) in a Choices Open Heart Drabble

A/N A bit of Halloween Fluff for this pair.

@choicesoctoberchallenge2020 @lucy-268 @krsnlove @anotherbeingsworld

Masterlist

Surgical Precision

"This year," Naveen explained, "we will have teams of two." His eyes sparkled with mischief. "Each team must consist of one surgeon."

He shook his head at Dr. Tanaka’s denial. "No cheating like last year."

Groans and laughter filled the cafeteria of Edenbrook.

"As usual, our panel of judges will have the final say in the winner." He held up the sign up sheet. "You have one week to plan and present your contribution." His smile glowed as he walked away. "Good luck!"

"How about it, Valentine?" Bryce sidled up beside Chris. "Want to team up with the best?"

"You asked me, which means that you want to team up with the best." She teased.

"I'm feeling magnanimous today." He bumped her shoulder with his.

"Don't hurt yourself." She rolled her eyes playfully. "We can't have you being the most talented and the most giving doctor here."

"True." He glanced around before leaning close to whisper. "No need to let everyone know that I'm also the luckiest."

"Oh?" She lowered her lashes. "And how are you the luckiest?"

He snagged a pen from her pocket and wrote their names down on the paper. With a wink, he tossed it back to her. "Because I have you as my partner."

With a confident strut, he spoke over his shoulder on the way out. "Eight o'clock, my apartment. I'll even provide dinner."

"I'll be there." She said, trying not to smile too much.

**************

Later that night...

Bryce rubbed his hands together. "Alright Chris. Tell me your experience."

"My experience?"

"Don't tell me this is your first time." He teased.

"It's not!" She exclaimed. "I've done this before."

"How many times?" He leaned over his kitchen counter, a slow smile lighting his face.

"I didn't keep count." She laughed, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear. "Was I supposed to?"

"I'm simply curious to know how knowledgeable you are." He pulled out a number of tools and surgical equipment. "If we are to work together, I need to know you know what I'm talking about."

"Bryce, it's a pumpkin." Her laughter spilled out again. "I'm pretty sure everyone knows how to cut into one."

"This isn't simply cutting." He argued. "We are about to delve into creating a masterpiece that the likes of Edenbrook has never seen. This contest has never had your brilliant mind and my skillful hands joined as one in carving a pumpkin."

"That is true." She propped her chin on her hand, leaning closer to him. Her eyes met his. "Especially my brilliant mind part."

He snorted softly, shaking his head.

"Ready for a night of practice?" Bryce produced a large pumpkin. "Our first patient is ready to be prepped for surgery."

"One removal of innards coming up." She handed him a large carving knife.

"Excellent choice, Dr. Valentine." He twirled the knife before easing it into the top of the pumpkin. "While I begin the craniotomy, please prepare for the next phase of surgery.

Chris rolled her sleeves up and retrieved his garbage can. She dug around in his utensils drawer until she found a large metal spoon.

He glanced up after removing the top portion. "Perfect. I will make a surgical intern out of you yet."

"No thanks." She sat back down across from him. "I prefer letting you have that type of fun."

He scooped out the guts, letting them fall with a plop into the garbage. "While I do the tedious part, why don't we brainstorm some ideas that will blow the judges away."

Bryce watched her as she pulled out a notebook and pen.

"I was thinking about that on the way over." Chris tapped the pen against her lips. "Should we focus on just carving a pumpkin or go big?"

"What's your definition of big?"

"Something like this." She pulled a photo up on her phone.

His smile grew. "I love the way you think Dr. Valentine."

"I know." She leaned over and kissed him. "I love you going along with my idea, Dr. Lahela."

***********

A week later...

"No, this goes here." Bryce took the scalpel from Chris's grasp. "Laparotomy incisions provide the best visualization and intra-abdominal access for exploratory procedures."

Chris stepped back, watching Bryce set up the pumpkin body for surgery. Her lips curved softly when she noticed how serious he was taking this.

Everything he was posing was true to life. Even the number of clamps he had added matched what she had observed whenever she had a free moment to watch him in action.

She pulled out a set of surgical scrubs and began to ready the other pumpkin that was to be performing the surgery. She couldn't help but be impressed with his dedication to their entry.

"And now the part the judges will love." He opened a plastic bowl and dumped the guts out on the gurney.

Chris laughed when he formed a small intestine out of part of it. "I bet you were that boy in school who really got into dissecting cow's eyeballs and such."

"That and making the pretty girls squeal." He waggled his eyebrows. "Like so." He reached out to cup her face with hands covered in slimy pumpkin innards.

"No!" She tried to duck, laughing when he chased her around the gurney. "Bryce! Don't you dare!"

"Still got it." He bragged, wiping his hands on a towel.

The two stepped back and studied their entry.

"Thoughts, Dr. Valentine?" He asked, draping his arm around her shoulders.

"It's perfect, Dr. Lahela." She checked to make sure no one was nearby and pressed a kiss to his cheek. "I'm glad you wanted me for your partner."

"As if I would choose anyone else." He stole a quick, heated kiss. "Now, let's go let the judges see this."

A few minutes later Edenbrook's children's ward was filled with excited murmurs and laughter.

"Eww!" One little boy being pushed in a wheelchair exclaimed when he saw Chris and Bryce's. "It's guts are out!" He smiled up at the doctors. "I love it!"

Parents of some of the patients also commented on each entry, touched that the doctors had done this for their children.

By the end, there was only one clear winner.

"It is such a burden to be right all the time." Bryce whispered, as pictures were taken of them next to their pumpkin surgery scene."

She elbowed him playfully.

He slipped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer. "Did you have fun?"

"I always do with you." She whispered back, fighting a smile. "But the trophy is coming home with me."

"It is half mine." He countered.

"Then feel free to visit it as much as you want." Her cheeks colored at his suggestive smile. "I'm certain it will be happy each time you come over."

Hold Me Close To Your Heart

Fell in love with @tabine's idea of Tenten holding a scalpel in The Secret Life of Teachers, and my hand slipped. Enjoy!

His long gait strides across the emergency room towards the reception counter, his intern struggling to match his quickened pace. “I got a page?” he asked the receptionist in charge.

“Doctor Hyuuga,” she acknowledged him, “we got a call from the paramedics about an emergency thoracotomy on the field. I was requested to page you and have you on standby when they arrive. They should be here in about five minutes.”

“I’ll be waiting outside for them,” he told her, who simply nodded. The intern who was shadowing him inwardly smiled. It was inappropriate to take pleasure in someone else’s pain, not to mention rude, but this was a real thoracotomy he would have a chance to help in. not only that, it is with the Cardio God of Konoha General Hospital!

The wailing sirens of the ambulance signaled the arrival of their patient. The paramedic jumped out of the driver’s seat and informed the doctor about the patient’s condition. “Sawatori Ryuuchi, 20-year-old cop shot on the job. Single entrance wound to the left fifth intercostal space, no exit wound. Lost vitals in front of us,” his list droned on. “This is the emergency thoracotomy we called in about.”

Doctor Hyuuga frowned. “You did a thoracotomy in the field?”

“No, sir. I didn’t.” he pulled the ambulance doors open to reveal a woman with her hand in the patient’s chest.

“It was me. I performed the thoracotomy.” She said. The interned blinked in amazement. Woah, having a bare hand in someone’s else chest? That’s so cool! he thought.

“Tenten…“ Doctor Hyuuga called out to her.

she smiled at him, looking positively radiant even with blood splattered all over her clothes. “Hey!” she greeted him. “I was going to buy groceries for tonight’s dinner, and well…” she ran her left hand through her undone hair and gestured to her occupied limb in the patient’s chest, “things happened,“ she laughed.

Doctor Hyuuga turns to the woman, “Okay. Can you feel the lesion?”

“Yeap. he’s got a big hole in his right ventricle. But as long as I keep my hand here, I can feel a good heartbeat.” She turned to look at the intern. “And what does that mean?” she asked.

The intern startled under both doctors’ piercing eyes. “Err, if you move even a little, he can bleed to death?” he supplies. The lady nodded.

The intern’s attending turns to face him. “He needs surgery. Go book an OR. I have to get in there now.” He tells the intern. The young man rushes inside to do as he is told. With the paramedic’s help, the cardiothoracic surgeon loads the patient off the ambulance slowly, careful not to jostle Tenten’s hand on his heart.

The intern comes back running a few seconds later. “They’re saying all the ORs are booked,” he gasps, trying to catch his breath.

“Well, tell them to bump someone because we’re coming up either way,” Neji argues.

“Doctor Mitarashi owes me a favor,” Tenten informs them. “Tell her to bump her exploratory laparotomy and prep it for an emergency cardio.”

The intern nods and rushes again to make the necessary preparations.

“All right, here we go,” the doctor calls out. He extends an arm out to help Tenten up onto the gurney for easy transportation. “Got it?” he asks as soon as she is settled, straddling the patient. Upon receiving a confirmation, he lifts up the bed frames, locking them into place. “Let’s go!”

They rush down the hallway to catch the elevator down to the operating rooms. “Hold that elevator please!” Tenten calls out from above the moving gurney. The nurses nearby held the door open until they were safely inside.

Neji presses the button and watches their descent down to the operating rooms. He turns to the other doctor, who also had her eyes trained on the floor number. “You ready?” he asks, “Once these doors open, we’re gonna have to get him in the OR and open him up as soon as possible.

Tenten nodded and tucked some hair behind her ear with her free hand. “I need a rubber band,” she tells him. She slowly maneuvers herself on the gurney so that her back faces Neji. He, in return, pulls out an extra hair tie from around his wrist and gathers up her long chestnut hair and ties it in a long, neat ponytail.

“We’re not gonna have time to scrub.” He tells her, splitting her ponytail in half and pulling on both ends to tighten it, just the way she likes it.

“I got hand sanitizer in my back pocket,” she tells him in return.

He reaches over to her jeans and pats her pockets until he got what he wanted to look for. He squirts a handsome dollop on her free hand before giving himself the same treatment. “Do you always carry that around with you?” he asks, rubbing her hand with both of his.

“It’s for emergencies like this, Doctor Hyuuga,” she counters.

“True enough, Doctor Hyuuga,” he replies.

The elevator dinged, signaling their floor. The doors open to reveal their intern waiting for them to hold open the elevator as he pushed the gurney out and into the operating room. The waiting nurses helped them into their operating scrubs. Tenten lowered her head to allow them to reach and tie a scrub cap on her. She then climbed off the gurney for them to drape the patient and prepare him.

“He’s got a tear on the right ventricle and there could be torrential bleeding once we get in,” he briefed everyone in the room. “Let’s get him on bypass,” he instructed his team. “I’m going to reconstruct the ventricle.”

“Scalpel!” Tenten calls out, extending her free hand for the instrument.

---

“Like I was saying,” the intern told his friends, “It was amazing… How they pulled off the surgery flawlessly! It was like watching a dance between those two!”

“Isn’t your obsession with Doctor Hyuuga a little overboard?” one of his friends snickered.

“Obsession? It’s more like respect for him, I’ll have you know!” he corrected his friend, who held up both hands in surrender. “And the way Doctor T cuts the pericardium one-handedly with her other hand in the man’s chest… That’s amazing!”

His friend hums appreciatively. “Yeah, I guess she really earns the nickname as the Scalpel Goddess.”

“Then again, we have the Cardio God who saves the day too!”

“What are you all interns gossipping about?” asks a voice behind them. The two jumped out of their skin and clutched their racing hearts.

“Oh, Doctor Lee! we were just talking about Doctor Hyuuga’s ventral reconstruction.”

“And Doctor T performed an emergency thoracotomy on the field too!” they rattled on and on about the surgery the first intern assisted.

“Ah, the power couple huh?” Lee smiled, “Those two are always in sync. They even have a unique way of communicating in silence. It’s always such a wonder watching them performing surgeries.”

“Good job everyone,“ Tenten greeted as the team of nurses and anesthesiologists filled out the room, and someone wheeled the patient away into his room. She deposited her gown and gloves before taking off her mask and scrub cap. She felt broad chest pressing against her back.

“Good job to you too, Doctor Hyuuga,“ he whispered into her ear.

“Let’s go home,“ she told him. “I still have dinner to cook. Wanna help me?“ The arm slung over her shoulder told her his affirmative. The two exited the operating room to see Lee waiting outside for them

“Hey,“ he greeted, lifting a hand out of his coat to wave at them.

“Hey you,“ she replied. “We are going home for dinner. Want to join us?“ she offered.

Lee shook his head. “Nah,” he said, “You two should celebrate your anniversary alone. Go get some wine and have a quiet night.“

Tenten bit her bottom lip. “Uh, about that… I think we should lay off the alcohol for a while.”

Lee tilted his head and looked at her in confusion.Neji raised an elegantly shaped eyebrow. “Elaborate?” he asked.

“See? That’s why I took today off, not only just to cook dinner for our anniversary, but that is also another reason, you know,” she blubbered, “I was actually at the pharmacy when-“

“Just get to the point.” Doctor Hyuuga interrupted her.

“I’m pregnant.“ she blurted out. “Positively and undeniably pregnant.“

He held an emotionless face as Lee stood by him, a fist in his mouth and legs jittery to stop himself from making too much of a reaction. Pregnant! Both his best friends are expecting a baby! He could already imagine his friend within the next few months, a hand cradling the bump that sat underneath her heart.

“I see,“ he finally said. He then reached out and grabbed her wrist, effectively pulling her to his chest. Turning around to Lee, he announced, “Excuse us, but I believe a celebration is heavily due.“

Lee watched his two best friends walk off, their feet as light as their hearts. He let out a little laugh. Hearts, he thought. That kid is going to be one heck of a doctor.

Geographically, the surgical drapes market can be segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to account for the major share of the market due to increasing technological advancements and rising demand for hygiene products. The surgical drapes market in Europe is expected to be driven by increasing demand for barrier protection gowns to avoid cross contamination in an infected area. Surgical masks need to meet a predefined set of the EN 14683 standard in Europe. According to this standard, surgical mask is defined as a medical device, which reduces the risk of transmission of infection between health care personnel and patient. The market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow during the forecast period due to increasing government initiatives.

This initiative has resulted in increased participation from major manufacturers such as Ahlstrom, Johnson & Johnson, and DuPont. According to the Ministry of Health, Brazil, use of nonwoven masks, gowns, and drapes is a must to prevent the spread of infectious diseases while treating patients.
