Sacred Heart Lobby - 6pm (DAY: IDK)

[kimbriggs]

I tapped the foot impatiently as I stood in the middle of the lobby of my former workplace. The practice I was working for in Seattle was so nice compared to this dump. I looked around for a familiar face, anyone who could tell me where that geek ex-boyfriend of mine was. You really couldn't miss him, with that giant hair of his. Glancing at my

Not only had she come here, but she interrupted some free time. This included me sitting at my desk, staring at a copy of my favorite book. Damn for interrupting my time with Dracula.

Luckily enough I had my folder of forms ready from this morning, so I grabbed them and made my way to the lounge just in time to hear her speak to Perry. By the look of how sunburnt red the back of his neck is getting, I can only assume one thing: she just brushed him off.

This poor girl.
"Oh, hey Kim," I say, leaning myself against the wall and patting my arm with the file folder. Its a hefty one. "I can only assume the reason why you stepped foot in my hospital today was to let JD know about the supervisor that's coming to your house on a daily basis to make sure that until the court jury can make a decision, Sammy is watched by a proper care-taker."

As I walk up to the little group, I open up my folder and stick my tongue to the side of my mouth. "Oh, there it is. With all these papers I have filed to insure that John Dorian gets full custody of Sam Dorian-Briggs, I thought it might be lost. Silly me," I let out a fake laugh when I pull out the paper in not under ten seconds and hold it up for JD. "I mean, I only got it this morning but you know how being organised goes." I turn my face to Perry and smile at him, pleasantly.

[bestdamdoctor]

I blink. And blink again. I can feel my face go red with anger. She brushed me off? She brushed me off! No one brushes me the hell off, especially when ranting in that particular tone. I stand still a moment, letting her pass and threaten JD again, as I try and take a deep breath. Because right this moment I wish to toss her the hell over the station in the middle of the lobby.

I turn around as I hear Jordan's voice. Lord, I don't think I've been so glad to see her in a long while. I smirk as Kim stares at her long rundown and flash of papers, attempting to and most likely doing a bang up job intimidate The Wench.

As Jordan finishes, I stalk my way back up to Kim while she's still processing Jordan's words. I drop my voice as I whisper in her ear. "And just so you know, pumpkin. Sam has been staying at my place. With JD and myself. So forgive me if I do have a fucking say in all this." I flash her an overly sweet smile, sure she'll connect the dots to this information, before stepping away from her and over to JD.

[kimbriggs]

My eyes widened as I figured out what Perry was trying to tell me, "You're... gay?! Wait.. hold on. I'm not surprised," I smirked at JD, before bringing my attention to Jordan, "Ah, yes, Jordan. Lovely chat the other day. And yes, I'm being supervised with Sam. Part of that arrangement involves me getting Sam back, so they can supervise me with him. You have the papers, you should know that."

[jdorian]

I can feel my heart beating faster at everything that is happening, and even more so as Jordan actually-- she's-- she knows Kim is taking Sam?! I frown at that and can't help but just look from Jordan to Kim, and from Kim to Perry as he snarls at her, which makes me feel a lot better. But the feeling fades away as she threatens again to take Sam with her. "I don't care," I say in a general direction, now having Perry by my side. Wait, did she just imply it's obviously I'm gay? That bitch! "You're not taking Sammy, I don't care what legal papers you have." I take a step back, still holding Sammy close to me, and I step closer to Perry until my body's touching his own.

[coxianrival]

"JD," I turn to him, and my mask drops. I'm obviously not playing around here right now. Not with him, not with her, certainly not Perry. "Kim is going to take Sammy for now. I've already contacted the judge with my interest as your representative and he kindly told me that although I can't pick the supervisor out, I can certainly supervise the decision making. If I have any problems, I get to present yet another set of papers to the judge against Kim." I turn to her, arms crossed, folder of files still in my hand.

"And oh, Per?" I say, making eye contact with Kim. "The judge is an old friend of yours. Apparently you set his son's broken arm over the summer." Raise of the eyebrow.

[bestdamdoctor]

Oh lord. No. No no no. How can they give Sam back to The Wench? Even under supervision? I know she's the mother but... I put an arm around JD's waist, rubbing reassuringly at his side, as I stare down at Sam still being cuddled against JD's chest. I let the gibe at JD slide with simply a sneer at her. Of course this whole thing was simply to harass JD. How the hell does a mother use her son as a pawn like this?

I ache still though. I had promised not to hand Sam back over to Kim... I had promised him it. Fuck. I whisper softly to him, "We'll get him back. And he'll be watched after."

I glance back up as Jordan speaks to me while still staring at Kim. And it's my turn to smirk just a bit. "You don't say, Jor? Well then, I'll be glad to see him and ask how his son is doing."

[kimbriggs]

"Well? Can I have my son now? I really need to get going," I glanced at my ex clinging for dear life to our child. What a wuss. I was raised in a household where if the baby cried, you let it cry. If you pick it up, it will cry whenever it wants to be picked up. JD was obviously raised by labradoodles.

"And just so you know, Jordan, I have hired one of the best attorneys in the state," I paused, raising my eyebrows, "Hold on a minute, I get why Perry is so upset now, but you? Is this some sort of ménage à trois?"

Elliot walked by at that point, and without missing a beat, clarified, "It means threesome."

"So? Does Sammy has three daddies or what?" Haha.

[coxianrival]

"A-bah-bah," I say, holding a hand up for Kim to stop where she is. "First of all, Kim? Dear?" I walk up to her and stand in between she and JD. "Please don't make the mistake of putting me in their categories." I lean forward with a smile on my face. "I actually have the testicular fortitude to take the rug out from under your feet that was placed here by Sacred Heart Hospital."

I walk closer, drop my lips by her ear and watch the window curtains as I speak, not turning to acknowledge her at all this time. "Secondly?" I whisper to her, making sure my arms are crossed so I'm not touching any part of her. "I'm doing this for a little baby who can't defend himself--oh snap your eyes away from JD, I mean Sammy. I have no personal gain in this except to watch you fall off your pedestal. Which, hi? Have we met? I'm Jordan Sullivan, that's my favorite past time."

I pause for a moment, lick at my lower lip. "Sweetheart, if you can imagine what I can do with all of my business and legal power, imagine too what I would do to you if that baby isn't in a better condition now than when we're handing him back to you. Also, don't even insinuate that I'm sleeping with those two again."

"I'm feeling lenient today," I say with a little smile on my face, louder so that everyone can hear. "So I'll save you the effort of bending over to kiss my ass, Kim."

I turn and raise my brow to Perry. God, he had to know how much fun I was having with this, didn't he? As I walk out of the room I look down to the floor with a smirk on my face. "Really, have I been that good a girl this year daddy?!"

[jdorian]

I don't think I have ever loved one of Jordan's rant as much as I loved this one. I hoped that, after the rant, Kim would leave without attempting to take Sammy, but she's still there, and as Jordan walks out of the room, I am forced to give Sammy back to Kim.

"It will be OK. I promise, Sammy, I'm getting you back." I whisper to him, pulling him out of the harness and reluctantly giving him back to Kim. I can feel my eyes welling up with tears. This wasn't supposed to happen. I watch as Kim takes him and I hand her the harness and the diaper bag, standing there for a moment as she has her say before storming out of the room and into one of the hospital hallways.

[kimbriggs]

I didn't say a word after Jordan's rant, and took Sam from JD gratefully. I can't, I have a baby was slowly becoming my favorite way of getting out of obligations, and if it was going to work.. I needed Sam around. I'm supposed to get this lecture this weekend, and I really don't want to.

"Well, alrighty then.." I cradled Sam carefully as the walked out the door, suddenly getting the feeling that everyone was staring me.

From the receptionist desk I heard a nurse that looked vaguely like Laverne Roberts go, "Mmmmmhmmmm."

Can she hear my thoughts?

[bestdamdoctor]

No matter how stunning, and it was stunning, Jordan's thorough deconstruction of Kim was, Jordan fully happy with herself as she strutted out, my heart still broke as I watched JD give up Sam. Such a fucking good father. And she pulls this shit with him.

I pause to make sure The Whore Wench just doesn't cut it any more leaves with Sam, before going after JD. I round the corner into the hallway just in time to see a door slam shut. No JD in sight, I race for that door. I open and shut it quick, seeing the lights are still off, but the windows still let in enough light to spot him balled up on a bed in the on call room.

"JD..." I don't know what to say. We couldn't manage to keep ahold of Sam. We were... stuck... waiting. With him in the hands of The Whore. I cross the room to his bunk and sit, my back against the wall, pulling him up against me. "I'm so sorry..."

[jdorian]

"She took him away," I tell him and hear my own voice break as he pulls me against him. I quickly wrap my arms around him. "What am I going to do now? She'll probably get custody," when my voice breaks again, I just stop talking all together. As much as I want to believe Jordan's efforts will get Sammy back with me, I can't believe it anymore. I had promised myself I wouldn't let her have him again. Perry had promised the same, and I had made a promise to Sammy. A promise I had not been able to keep, and now he was gone. I pull away from Perry's embrace and rest my back against the wall, slamming my head against it a couple of times before burying my face into my hands.

[bestdamdoctor]

I sag more and more against the wall at his cries, closing my eyes. I had promised him... I whisper hoarsely to him, "I'm so sorry, JD. Jordan will fight all that she can. I know it. They will see how she treats him. They will see that you are by far the better choice." My voice fades off as he simply breaks into sobs. I open my eyes as he pulls away, as he thumps his head back against the way in distress. I can't help smiling, if only a bit, as he continues to pick a thing or two up from me... I reach a hand up to brush through his hair, down to rub at his neck. "We'll push to hold the hearings as quickly as we can. He won't stay with her for long." I fight back the urge to promise this too to him. I couldn't keep my promise before...

[jdorian]

I catch a glimpse of his soft grin and I can't help but return the smile. "Yeah," is all I respond as I roughly wipe my face with my long sleeves. I want to pull myself together, even if it means to bottle it all up. I take in a deep breath as I finish wiping my face and nod, looking over at Perry. I give into his touch, closing my eyes as his fingers run through my hair.

[bestdamdoctor]

I lean in to kiss his wet cheek as he smiles a little in return at me, before he wipes them clean. I continue to rub at his neck, up slightly into his hair again, as I whisper, "Lets go to my place. I'll feed you this time. We can curl up on the couch." I cock another, warmer smile at him. "I'll let you pick the channel." Then squeeze at his neck as I start to move us off the bed.

[jdorian]

"That sounds really good," I say a bit more enthusiastically, wiping my face again quickly, except for the spot where he kissed me. I sigh and sniffle, still thinking about Sammy. As his hand is still on my neck, I wrap an arm around his waist, pulling him close to me as we walk out of the on-call room. I lean up to place a wet kiss on his cheek too as we make our way down the hallway.
