I look down at my phone, then up to Brynleigh. She’s thinking the same thing it appears. We’re getting closer. Jane eyes Bryn expectantly.
“Oh! Tall, dark hair, gorgeous eyes that are either green or blue. I wasn’t close enough to see. He’s got a bit of a five o’clock shadow going, like he’s been here for a good stretch of time already. He was putting on some specs when he sat down. Didn’t get a good look at much else.”
“Oh…that sounds nice…” Jane sighs. “Long enough hair to sink your fingers into or super short?” We giggle as she puts a picture in her head.
“Short on the sides, longer on top. Definitely enough to grab onto.”
“Mmmm…perfect.” Jane reaches for her ice chips. “I’m not going to have another orgasm for who knows how long. I’m going to be living vicariously through you bitches.” A knock sounds on the door, signaling someone entering. “Be ready to give up the goods. Speaking of, Hollz, what new buzzy monster cock toy did you just get that I totally glimpsed lying on your nightstand when I passed by your room yesterday?”
“Ahem,” a throat clears. We turn to address whoever just walked in on that embarrassing tidbit of information andholy fuckballs.Someone kill me now. Brynleigh also clears her throat. This must be mister tall, dark, and gorgeous.
“And from the look on your face, I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that you’re Hollz,” he directs at me, his very green eyes perusing my face as his smile spreads. I have no words. Pretty sure I just squeaked.
“Did Annie leave us?” Jane asks with a snicker as she pulls her gown back up into place. “Oh, and it’s Holly. Hollz for short. She seems to have forgotten how to speak.”
“No, Annie is still your labor nurse. Excuse the pink scrubs. My earlier slacks got doused with amniotic fluid,” he answers while still smiling at me in amusement. If I open my mouth, I’ll likely just splutter whatever I attempt to say. “I’m Dr. Reyes. I’m the on-call resident filling in for Dr. Widemann.”
“So you’re not OB?”
“No, not strictly. This isn’t my normal hospital, but they reached out to me since they’re currently understaffed due to a few vacations, and I have OB experience. It’s a partnering hospital, so I was able to help out.”
“But you have delivered a baby before?”
“Many babies. I’ve practiced in trauma centers, even gave surgery a try. I didn’t enjoy the high of slicing into skin every day, all day. I promise I’m not new to this. Annie said you are progressing nicely. She did an exam recently, so with your waters broken, I don’t like to prod around and disturb that baby until you are much closer to time or it’s necessary. I’ve been monitoring both of your vitals. You’re both doing great, and it all seems to be moving as expected. How are you feeling?” Dr. Sexy slides in to hand the cup of ice chips to Jane, trying to help her feel more at ease.
“Nervous. Hot.”
“All normal, all great signs. Have you been up moving around?”
“Not much. I’m stalling.”
Dr. Reyes makes a confused face.
“Jane, this baby’s coming.”
“Oh, I’m ready for that. I just need Garrett to get here first.”
“Oh, I see. You’re nervous that if you get up and move around, things are going to move too fast?”
Jane nods, chewing on more ice, fresh tears springing to her eyes.
“Do we know where dad is?” Green eyes flash to mine, and I shake my head.
“No, but I’ll try him again to see if he’s off the plane yet.”
Dr. Reyes smiles at me again, and I wonder if he’s imagining a monster cock vibrator in my hand instead of my phone. I must blush again, and he looks like he can read my mind. Oh, damn it.
“Thank you, Holly.”
The way he says my name leaves me feeling all sorts of tingly. He turns his attention back where it belongs, on Jane.
“Do you have any questions for me? Anything you’re nervous about that I can help talk you through?”
My dirty mind says she’s got some things you can help her talk through.
“No, but I appreciate you asking. I just want my husband to get here in one piece before his daughter–” a contraction starts, and Dr. Sexy,I better stop calling him that in my head before I say it out loud,watches her and the monitor, breathing with her.
“You’re doing beautifully, Jane. I’m proud of you. I’ll stop back by in just a little when things start heating up. Call for us if you need anything, or if you change your mind about that epidural. You only have a little bit of a window left to get that if you should so choose.”
