The next morning I woke up because of the knocks. "Love, can you please get the door?" I asked but I didn't get a response so I opened my eyes to see Wyatt in a deep sleep so I stood up and opened the door. "Why are you here?"
"Fetching Chase." Bry said, which made me sighed. "We're not going to drink, Reese. We have a game."
"Did Wyatt know about this?" I asked and he nodded. "But he's still asleep. Wait in the living room. I'll wake him up."
"Thank you, Reese. You should go as well. The girls will be there." Bry said before walking away, while I went inside our room.
"Love, wake up." I said as I lightly tapped his cheeks. "Wyatt. The guys are fetching you."
"I'm not going, my love. Today is quality time." He said and pulled me which made me lay on top of him. "Let's sleep again."
"I heard you talk with the boys about this. You said you are looking forward to playing with them." I said to him and he looked like he remembered something. "Today isn't my day off, love. Go and play with your friends."
"I thought we had the same schedule?" He asked so I shook my head. "You won't watch?"
"I think I can watch but I won't be able to finish it. I need to go to the hospital around 12:30." I answered him.
"You can finish it. We'll finish around 11. We still have time to eat lunch before you go to the hospital." He said and tapped my lap so I stood up. "Let's take a shower." He said as he stood up then dragged me with him.
We took a shower then dressed up. I got the bag I usually use at work before we left our room. Wyatt used his big bike instead of a car since all of his friends are using big bikes and they're running late.
When we arrived their teammates were already playing and the girls were sitting and cheering. "I thought you weren't going, Reese." Pia said as I sat beside her.
"You should be at the hospital, Pia. Why are you here?" I asked her and she shook her head. "Did you bring your car? I'll be on my way to the hospital after this."
"I didn't. Jaxon fetched me a while ago. He used his big bike." She said so I nodded and just watched them play.
After they finished playing we went straight to a restaurant and ate. "Love, didn't you say that you need to go to the hospital around 12:30?" Wyatt asked so I nodded. "Did you finish reviewing?"
"Yeah. While we are eating." I answered him and he nodded.
"Shall we go? I'll drive you there." He said so I nodded and stood up. Jaxon and Pia did the same. "Should we race, Jaxon?"
"Chastille." I called him, threatening him to stop. "Try doing that and I won't go home."
"Let's do it, Chase. Kung sino matatalo siya mag papainom." Jaxon said, which made me roll my eyes. Here we go again. It's really a bad idea buying them big bikes.
When I rode Wyatt's big bike I started praying to all of the saints I know. The 20 minute ride became 10 minutes. And we arrived earlier than Jaxon and Pia.
"Fuck you, Chastille." I said to him as I got off his bike.
"Later." He said and chuckled while I removed my helmet. "You'll pay for the drinks later, Dr. Mcdaniel." Wyatt said to Jaxon as he removed his helmet. "I'll fetch you later. Goodluck on your operations, love." He said and about to kiss me but I moved away.
"You don't need to fetch me with your big bike. I prefer to take a taxi." I said and rolled my eyes. "and besides I'm not going home."
"Love naman. I'll go fetch you with my car." He said but I shook my head and said goodbye to them before walking inside. "Graciella." I heard Wyatt say before I fully entered the hospital but I didn't look back.
When I got to my office I immediately opened my computer then wore my white coat. "Come in." I said when someone knocked on the door. "Why are you here Dr. Hudgens?" I asked Wyatt as he entered my office.
"You're that mad at me that you didn't bid me a goodbye?" He asked, which made me sighed. He closed the door and walked towards me. "I'm sorry. I won't do it again. Please don't be mad."
"I warned you, Chastille. Go away, I need to finish reading something before going to the OR." I said to him and he sighed as he pulled me into a hug. "Wyatt. I need to finish reading."
"Love, forgive me. I promise I won't do it again." He said and broke the hug when someone knocked on my door. He took a seat on my chair, while I opened the door.
"Dr. Solis, we need you. There's an emergency surgery and you're the only surgeon available." Nurse Liza said after I opened the door. "Your patient's surgery will be delayed for an hour since no other surgeon is available." She said, which made me look at Wyatt who's also listening to our conversation.
"Should I do it?" Wyatt asked so I shook my head.
"I'll do it. Can you tell me about the patient?" I asked her as I looked at her.
"Patient, male, 23. Ruptured appendicitis." Nurse Liza said then continued giving me information.
"I'll meet you at the OR." I said to her then went inside my office and looked at Wyatt. "I need to go, love. I'll talk to you at home. Drive safely alright? I love you." I said and kissed him before running out of my office.
I proceeded on the surgery. It took me an hour then proceeded with my next surgeries since I have 3 surgeries scheduled today.
"Dr. Solis, we need you. We have another emergency surgery." A call from the ER, which made me sighed. I just sat on my chair.
"Go to the OR. I'll be there." I said as I stood up and walked out of my office, while I dialed Wyatt's number. "Don't fetch me yet. I have another emergency surgery. Just drink there and enjoy your day off. I'll just take a taxi later."
"No. Call me when you're going home. I'll go fetch you. End of the conversation, love. Goodluck with your surgery. I love you."
"Alright, I'll call you. Thank you. I love you. I'll drop the call." I said and cutted the call then proceeded to put my phone and white coat on my locker then scrubbed my hands before entering the operating room.
I performed a cholecystectomy on the patient that lasted around 45 minutes. After that I stayed at my office for an hour.
"Love, can you still fetch me or you're drunk already?" I asked Wyatt when he answered the call but looked at the door when it opened. "Grant. What are you doing here?"
"Fetching you. Your fiance is so drunk." Grant said, which made me sighed.
"Love, I'm sleepy and so drunk. I got cheated again." I heard Wyatt's drunk voice which made me chuckle. "Why are you laughing?"
"Sleep, love. I'll be there. Goodnight. I love you." I said to him before dropping the call then looked at Grant. "Are you drinking with Wyatt?"
"No. Everyone is at our house. They're celebrating anniversaries." Grant said, which made my eyes widen. "You're busy. They'll understand."
"Grant, can you take me to an open store? I can't go there empty handed." I said and he shook his head. "Grant naman."
"Wyatt brought a lot of gifts and told them that you bought it. I also heard that you're the first person who greeted them before Chase. Why do you still need to go to an open store?" Grant asked, which made my jaw drop. "Wait. Don't tell me you forgot that today is their anniversary?"
"I forgot. And Chase did everything." I said as I got my bag. "Let's go. I need to take care of Wyatt." I said to him as we walked out of my office. "Grant. What's the date again?" I asked when we're on our way to our house. He didn't answer me so I got his phone. "Why does your calendar say July 19?"
"It's 12 already? We're late." He said not minding my question. He was quiet the whole time until we got to our house. "You got played." Grant whispered as he opened the door and then suddenly we heard a voice singing happy birthday. "Happy birthday, my twin."
"Happy birthday, my love." Wyatt greeted me as he and Cassi walked towards us holding cakes. "Make a wish." He said so I did before I blew the candle. "I'm sorry I didn't fetch you."
"I didn't know that you're so good at acting drunk huh." I said and chuckled. "Anyway, thank you, love." I said and kissed him.
"Happy birthday, Grant, Reese." Mom greeted us then hugged me and Grant. "After so long the two of you finally celebrated your birthday together."
"Ang arte kasi ni Grant ayaw umuwi sa Pilipinas 'yan tuloy ngayon lang ulit kami nakapag celebrate together." I said jokingly and chuckled. "Thank you everyone." I thanked everyone when mom broke the hug. "I don't accept luxurious gifts." I said and all of them asked why which made me chuckle. "I got trauma." I said and looked at Wyatt and he laughed.
"You can't decline my gifts, love." Wyatt whispered to me. "I'll give you my gifts after you eat. I know you're very tired and hungry." Wyatt said and dragged me with him. He's right about me being hungry since I still haven't eaten dinner.
"How old are we, Wyatt?" I asked him and he answered '31'. "Already? I'm old. I want to be a mother." I said but Wyatt didn't say a thing and just gave me a plate full of food. "You're still not ready?"
"Eat, Graciella so you can rest. We need to wake up early to talk to a wedding planner." Wyatt said so I nodded and just ate. "Don't sulk, love. We'll talk about that in our room."
"Kahit 'wag na. We should sleep instead of talking about it. Wala rin naman." I said and drank water. After eating I went up to my old room and took a shower and left the bathroom, wearing a robe since most of my latest clothes are in a cabinet outside my closet. "Are you going to take a shower too?"
"No. I bought you clothes. You should use it." He said and pointed at the paper bags on the floor. "Love, let's talk after you finish dressing up." He said so I nodded as I got one of the satin nightdresses. I didn't bother to go to the bathroom to put on the dress, I did it in front of him. "Are you sure about wanting to be a mother?"
"Of course, Wyatt. I want to be a mother of your children and besides we're already old. I want to experience taking care of my own child." I said to him and sighed. I sat beside him and looked directly at his eyes. "But if you still don't want to then I can wait."
"Are you ready to take a break or leave your job if you ever become pregnant?" He asked, which made me stop and look away because working at a hospital and treating sick people has always been my dream. "I don't want to take away your dream. You worked hard to be a surgeon. You worked hard to achieve this dream and I don't want to take it away this early." He said and kissed the back of my hand. "I want you to enjoy doing the dream you just achieved. So I'm asking you, Graciella. Are you willing to be a mother and take a break from your job?"
I was frozen as I thought about what he said. Am I ready to take a break or let go of my longest dream to be a mother? Would it be easy for me to let go of the dream I wanted since I was a kid? I want to be a mother but I can't see myself taking a break from the hospital right now. So am I ready?
