Damn kids TV.
Sighing, I get my spare brush from my drawer and quickly put my hair up in a messy bun, then go get my girls' packed lunch. I look over to her and smile as she brushes her Barbie's hair. "Okay, kitten, let's get you ready."
She turns and grins at me, her father's grin, and my heart jumps; did she not get any of my features? God do I miss that man, though, after only one amazing night together. I spoke to Steel last year; he still hasn't heard anything, but he has put out fliers or something, but still nothing. I've also spoken to three other MCs; none were helpful.
I put Lilah's yellow daisy coat on her and helped her into her white sandals that went with her white leggings and pink tank top. Her brown, curly hair is in pigtails. She looks adorable as always. I quickly usher her out of the apartment and drive her to a nursery that's only ten minutes away from my work. I walk her in, where she proceeds to burst into tears.
Crap.
I gently wipe her eyes while Emily, her worker, smiles gently at us.
"Kitten, what's the matter?"
She sniffles, “I-I want to stay with momma."
I smile at her. "I want that more than anything, but momma's got to go to her new job."
She furrows her brows. "Be a doctor?"
I smile at her before kissing her forehead. "Yeah, sweet girl, to become a doctor."
She thinks it over for a second before giving me a firm nod and then a peck on the lips before she grabs her bag from me, then takes Emily's hand, and we both have to stop ourselves from laughing.
My girl is full of spirit, that's for sure.
I wave bye before getting back into my Buick and heading to the General with a lump in my throat.
I'm nervous—very fricking nervous.
As soon as I pull up in the staff parking, I take a deep breath. It's only 6:45 in the morning; I start at 7 a.m., so Lilah did well to wake up this morning. She'll most likely have a nap in the nursery. I grab my things before rushing inside when a man in his forties furrows his brows at me, looking at my hair, and I clear my throat.
"My name's Meghan Campbell, and I'm starting my second year of residency today."
His eyes light up in recognition, and he nods, "I'm doctor Thomas. For the next three years, you'll be in between my service and Sarah's, the OB. I understand that's the field you want to work in, but here we like our doctors to have a well-rounded knowledge of all areas of the field." I nod as he calls a pretty nurse over; her brown curly hair is up in a bun while her blue eyes show kindness, making me relax. "Melanie, this is Meghan, our new resident doctor. You'll be working with her a lot, so I need you to stick with her and show her the ropes."
Melanie nods before tilting her head. "Come on this way; I'll show you to the lockers."
I give her a smile and Dr. Thomas a nod before heading the way she said.
She shows me my locker before clearing her throat, making me look at her.
"I uh, don’t mean to be rude, but did you, uh, know that uh, you have green paint in your hair?"
My eyes widen before I rush to the mirror, and I instantly close my eyes after seeing half of my hair covered in light green paint.
"Lilah Rose!"
Melanie clears her throat, trying not to laugh, while I just smile wide.
"My three-year-old daughter has become the prankster; I caught the green paint on my brush this morning but clearly didn't think to check the one I thought she didn't know about in my drawer."
Her eyes widen before we both burst out in laughter. She hands me the wipes, and I thank her before trying to get most of the paint out. I put my hair back up while Melanie grins at me.
"Come on, I'll show you around."
I nod while smiling and follow her out. Most of the nurses seem nice, but a couple have looked down on me, but I ignore them as Melanie shows me each ward. When we get to the pediatric ward, we bump into Sarah, whom I've already met. She's currently twirling her hair around her finger, flirting with a patient's father while the mother breastfeeds her baby. The father is unaware as she tries to hide her wedding ring. My eyes widen when I look at Melanie, and she just shakes her head and grabs my arm, pulling me the opposite way and away from a lawsuit that's waiting to happen.
After she's shown me around, we get right into it in the ER. I end up being shoved right into the deep end, and each time I am, Dr. Thomas grins with pride at me while nudging Mel, as she's asked me to call her every time I do something he would have done.
