_______________
Catherine sat by the window, sipping her oatmilk latte as she read 'The Christmas Miracle'.
Keeping her book down, she stretched, looking out of the window, into the pretty white scenery. It was Christmas eve, and she was in the festive mood.
It sucked that Ethan had been called in for work for an emergency, but he'd promised he'd be back as soon as possible.
A sudden gust of wind slammed the window open. "Shit!" She exclaimed. Locking the window, she looked through the glass, rather disappointed and a bit scared to see a blizzard.
She curled up in her reading chair, her eyes darting back and forth between the window and her fireplace.
Boston winters were truly bleak.
She tried to call Ethan, but his phone was out of network service. Panicking slightly, she shot him several text messages, each of which failed to deliver. Keeping the phone down, frustrated, she walked downstairs to see how her daughter was doing.
She walked in on Claire playing a role-play with her Barbie dolls. "Hi, Claire." She said softly, taking a seat beside her four year old daughter.
"Mummy!" Claire greeted her brightly. "When is Daddy coming?" Catherine smiled slightly. "Dad will be home soon, love. Where's Pebbles and Jenner?"
"Oh, Jenner is sleeping in the kitchen. You wanna play doll? Pebbles just meowed at me twice when I showed her the dolls and ran off to the sitting room."
Catherine laughed. "I'll play."
She might have been engaged with her daughter's antics, but some part of her mind kept nagging her. Ethan had promised he would be back by two in the afternoon. It was seven in the evening. Where was he?Just then, the doorbell rang.
In anticipation, she rushed to the hall and quickly opened the door, the light in her eyes dying down as she saw it was only the mailman. "Thank you." She said, smiling blankly, as she took the parcel.
She took the parcel inside her daughter's bedroom, and examined it. It was enormous, carefully wrapped with red and green glitter paper. "Claire, baby, any guesses as to what's inside?"
Claire stared at the package. "That's huge, Mummy. Could it be a doll house?"
Catherine smiled. "It could be. It's from Grandma."
"Grandma? Is she and Grandpa not coming for Christmas? What about Uncle David and Auntie Enid? What about Grandpa Naveen and Grandpa Alan?"
Seeing her daughter get all riled up, Catherine laughed. "Everyone is coming tomorrow, baby. Relax. Now, shall we wait for Daddy to come home so we all can open the gift?"
Claire nodded impatiently. "But where is Daddy?!"
"He'll be home soon, love." Catherine assured her.
Just then, the doorbell rang. "That's probably Daddy." Catherine said, grinning as she got up to go open the door.
Sure enough, standing on the other side was Ethan, snow on his blazer covered shoulders and bag.
"Hi, love, how w-" Catherine stopper short when she saw it. "We have company?" She said lightly.
Ethan nodded. "Found this poor one shivering under a tree. I couldn't leave it like that."
Catherine gently took the puppy in her hands, allowing Claire to go outside and hug Ethan. "I'll warm up some milk for this little one."
Ethan nodded, kissing Catherine as he picked Claire up in his arms, entering the warm house. Locking the door, he carried Claire to her room, and gave a low whistle. "Hello, what's this?"
Claire smiled excitedly. "That's Grandma's gift!"
Ethan nodded. "I'll be back in a moment, baby."
He went into the kitchen, lit with a thousand candles, the kitchen table laid out with Christmas themed desserts.
Slowly approaching Catherine from behind, he hugged her, eliciting a delighted squeal.
"You look even more beautiful in candlelight."
Catherine giggled, spinning around in his arms to hug him back. "I missed you, handsome. I was worried sick when you weren't coming home."
"I missed you too. The goddamn network was inactive, so I couldn't even contact you to let you know I'd be late." He murmured, his lips brushing against her ear.
"Let me look at you." He said softly, taking a step back to admire her, effectively making her blush.
"Is that the shirt I gave you?" He asked quietly, smiling.
Catherine nodded, opening her white sweater to reveal the green shirt.
"You're so beautiful." He mumbled, picking her up.
Catherine laughed. "That's huge, coming from you, handsome."
Kissing him, she took the little puppy in her arms. "Can we keep him?"
Ethan smiled. "I was thinking of asking you that. Can we?"
Catherine nodded slowly. Ethan stroked the puppy's fur. "Name it."
Catherine smiled. "How about Jonah?"
Ethan simply looked at her.
"Well?" She asked, her smile faltering.
"Do you realise how sweet you are?" He asked quietly.
Smiling, she slipped an arm around him. "Jonah...." He murmured. The puppy cocked it's head, as if it was happy with the name as well.
Just then, Claire came running into the kitchen. "Open it." She whined.
Laughing, Catherine and Ethan accompanied Claire into her room.
"Who that?" Claire asked curiously, noticing the little puppy in Ethan's arms.
"Meet Jonah, baby. Your new friend."
Claire smiled. "Hello, Jonah! Oh, he is like Jenner!"
Catherine nodded, smiling. "Yes, baby."
Cuddling Jonah was enough for Claire to forget about the present.
Taking the parcel, Catherine opened the wrapper in one smooth, fluid movement.
The wrapping fell apart to reveal five separate boxes, with little name tags.
"Oh, Claire, look, Grandma even sent a box of chocolates!" Ethan said, smiling brightly.
Claire smiled. "Awww, they are Ferrero Rochers!! My favourite! Wait, Daddy. They stay here to see the gift! Pebbles! Jenner!" She yelled.
The two pets came bounding in, Jenner jumping onto Ethan as Pebbles curled up At Catherine's feet.
They unwrapped the parcel, to find a huge framed portrait, drawn by Catherine's mother herself,of Ethan, Catherine and Claire, Pebbles and Jenner on each side. "This is wonderful. Mum outdid herself." Ethan whispered.
Catherine looked at him, stunned.
"What?" Ethan asked in surprise.
"You called her...Mum." Catherine said quietly.
Ethan gently put the portrait down, and turned to hug Catherine. "C, you are the reason I believe in love. You are the reason I'm such a sap." He paused to chuckle softly into the crook of her neck. "You're my family, C. You, and your parents have been one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Daphne has been the mother I needed, I still need." He whispered.
Catherine smiled softly and stroked his hair, realising the magnitude of his feelings, the depth of his emotions. "Awww, Ethan, that's so sweet." She whispered.
A sudden squeak interrupted them. "Not fair, Mummy and Daddy! I want in on the love!"
Laughing, Catherine picked her four year old up. "Merry Christmas, Claire." She whispered.
"Merry Christmas..."

Everybody Talks (Ethan x MC)
Summary: At a conference hosted by the American Medical Association, Ethan stumbles upon an unpleasant conversation about his girlfriend.
Warnings: None
~v~
Ethan watches as his girlfriend owns the room. At the American Medical Association conference in their own city of Boston, in the large ballroom of The Ritz Carlton, he quietly observes from the corner as she excitedly chats with a Dr. Catherine Stanley, a renowned surgeon from Columbia, while everyone within an arm's reach of her is drawn in by the sheer magnetism of her presence. He’ll never get tired of watching her like this. Naomi is completely in her element. Whenever she’s in a deep conversation about medicine, her posture loosens, her nose crinkles, and her voice takes on a pitchy breathiness the more and more excited she gets.
So caught up in thinking about her, Ethan doesn’t even notice that she’s walking up to him until she’s within a few feet. She smiles brightly as she leans against the bar. “You’re not mingling.”
“You’ve known me for over three years now. I’m not one to mingle.”
“Come on, there has to be someone here you want to talk to.”
“You.”
Naomi rolls her eyes. “Mhm-hmm, you’re so charming, Dr. Ramsey.”
“I’m being very serious. Why wouldn’t I want to talk to the keynote speaker?”
When Naomi found out they wanted her to speak at the conference, she was almost certain they meant to speak to Ethan and that she accidentally answered a phone call meant for him. But they in fact wanted her, the newest and youngest head of the diagnostics team. Her meteoric rise up the ranks of Edenbrook had made quite the splash in the medical community, where everyone knew everyone. Whether she realized it or not, Naomi had become a wunderkind and everyone wanted a piece of her.
And while she was nervous, Ethan couldn’t be more proud of her. Naomi is brilliant, and it’s about time more people were rewarded with being in her presence long enough to see it.
Naomi groans and runs a hand along her midsection. “Don’t remind me that I’m giving a speech soon, my stomach is already in knots.”
Ethan holds up his tumbler of whiskey, angling the glass towards her. “Want some liquid courage?”
“No, eating or drinking might make it worse. I won’t feel better until I’m on the other side of it.”
“In the three years I’ve known you, I’ve never seen a shy bone in your body. Where are the nerves coming from?”
“I’ve never done something like this,” Naomi responds. “I’ve never given a speech in front of hundreds of people–maybe even more, this place is packed. Public Speaking is the only class I ever got a B in in college.”
Ethan gasps teasingly. “The horror.” He chuckles softly as Naomi pokes him in the rib. Moving closer, Ethan clasps a warm hand around Naomi’s shoulder, massaging gently. “You’re going to do just fine. Better than fine, even, you’re going to be amazing. You’re smart, charming, funny, and eloquent, and the directors knew what they were doing when they chose you to speak. And besides, nearly all of Edenbrook is here to support you. Lahela might’ve even snuck in a camcorder.”
It's a slight exaggeration, but a lot of physicians practicing at Edenbrook belong to the prestigious association, and did not want to miss the chance to see one of their own speak.
“Ugh don’t remind me. It’s easier speaking to a crowd of nameless, faceless people. What if I forget my speech? What if my accent becomes super obnoxious and no one can understand me? What if I trip on stage?”
“You could always picture everyone naked, I’ve been told that it helps.”
Naomi blanches at the suggestion. “No, I don’t want to picture all of these people naked.”
“Good, because that was a trick suggestion,” Ethan murmurs. He rests his forehead against Naomi’s, his lips hovering mere centimeters from hers. “The only person you should ever be visualizing sans clothing is me.”
“Lucky for me, I get to do a lot more than just visualize.”
The happy couple share a kiss before Ethan nuzzles his face into the crook of his girlfriend’s neck, whispering quiet words of encouragement and affirmation.
On the other side of the bar, a group of women watch the jarring public display of affection play out. Ethan Ramsey was notorious for hating medical conferences, never engaging or interacting with people. He was also known for being perpetually single, so to see him so open with another person felt like foreign.
“I still can’t believe the two of them are together,” Dr. Nicole Harrington whispers to her group of friends as they gawk at the pair. While she works in New York, it’s hard to not be aware of the story behind Dr. Ethan Ramsey and his young protege Dr. Valentine, especially since she’s in touch with so many Boston-based doctors. “I can’t believe Ramsey is so open with her.”
“I think they’re cute,” Nicole’s friend, Monica coos. “I’m a hopeless romantic.”
The third member of the party, Greta stays silent. She’s one of the two people within their group with actual ties to Edenbrook, her husband having been attending there for almost 8 years now. Her husband Ashland keeps her up to date on all the ins-and-outs of hospital gossip, and she knows all about Ethan’s messy entanglement with his former resident.
“He wasn’t even like this when he dated Harper Emery,” their last friend Angelica whispers. As a neurologist herself, she’s worked alongside both Ethan and Harper for a long time, and while the hospital knew of their relationship, if you weren’t looking for the extremely subtle signs, you’d never know they used to be together. For years, at that. But for some reason, Ethan can’t seem to go 5 seconds without being near Dr. Valentine. Within the walls of Edenbrook, it's becoming harder and harder to see one without the other. “And she’s Harper freaking Emery for Christ’s sake.”
The conversation pauses as someone on stage taps the mic, gathering everyone’s attention. Out of the corner of her eye, Greta watches as Ethan plants another kiss on his lover’s forehead and she disappears in the crowd before she’s introduced as the evening’s guest speaker.
Ethan doesn’t know why his girlfriend was ever so nervous because as soon as she accepts the microphone and starts to speak, he’s transfixed.
His tunnel vision is split when he hears an aggressive whisper from a few feet away. Frowning, he turns around, fully prepared to demand that whoever has the gall to interrupt Naomi’s speech should shut the hell up, but he stops when he realizes that they’re talking about her.
“She’s been a member of the AMA for what, 3 seconds and she’s already giving speeches? Are we in the freaking Twilight Zone?”
“I guess it pays to keep Ethan Ramsey’s bed warm.”
Greta scoffs, finally acknowledging the conversation. “Ashland tells me everything about the two of them, and it’s all so messy. She’s been leading him around like she’s dangling an apple in front of a horse since she got to Edenbrook. He gave her preferential treatment her intern year, and miraculously she gets the coveted fellowship on the Dr. Banerji’s team. He gets promoted, and surprise, surprise, he gives her the team, wrapped up in a neat little bow. Never mind the fact that she should be nowhere near leading a team, she killed a patient her intern year. So for him to be...parading that young girl around is tawdry and disrespectful to the hospital.”
If this was a cartoon, Ethan is almost positive his face would be very red and steam would be wafting out of his ears because that’s how angry he is. The audacity of these women to stand a mere 8 feet away from him and trash talk the woman he loves is disrespectful on so many levels.
Obnoxiously, he clears his throat, garnering their attention. The only one with the decency to look slightly embarrassed is Monica, as Ethan catches her cheeks flushing under his harsh attention.
Angelica stands up straighter, “Chief Ramsey, we were just–”
“Participating in a misogynistic diatribe against a fellow doctor,” Ethan finishes. “Question, did any of you graduate at the top of your classes from a top 10 ranked medical school?” No one dares respond. “Out of the 4 of you, did you guys save Naveen Banerji’s life while he was dying of sepsis? Have you spent your after hours holed up in the NICU with your patient’s newborn baby? Any of you face a near death experience and come back to the scene of the crime in order to help more people?”
Ethan’s eyes narrow at Angelica and Greta in particular. “When Edenbrook nearly shut down, I don’t remember seeing your face as we worked tirelessly in the free clinic Dr. Banks, nor do I recall seeing your husband Mrs. Park. I don’t remember him lobbying to politicians or attempting to secure funds during fundraisers, but I do recall seeing him show up at parties without you to flirt with nurses.”
Greta balks at Ethan’s words, clearly not expecting him to unleash such anger. “Dr. Ramsey, I’ll have you know that my husband–”
“Is spreading vicious gossip and lies about a doctor with higher ranking than him. Dr. Valentine got her spot on the diagnostics team fair and square. She was the number 1 intern so Naveen picked her. When I left the team, she was the last tenured member at the time, with the most experience in how a team of such magnitude ran. She was the best pick for the job.”
“Over the course of her time at Edenbrook, she has more than proved that she earned her seat at the table, and to suggest anything else is an insult to her strengths and talents as a doctor, as well as my judgement. To suggest that I do not know to remain professional while I’m at work and the only reason she’s in the position that she’s in is because of our private relationship isn’t just a lie, but a dangerous and slanderous one as well. And if someone so much as ever implies it again, I will slap them with a lawsuit so fast their head will spin, and the closest they’ll ever get to practicing medicine again is slapping Band-Aids on kindergarteners.”
The group of women receive a threat loud and clear And they remain silent not wanting to be at the receiving end of anymore of his wrath.
Ethan sighs heavily. “Well, now that this pesky conversation has come to an end, I’m going to continue to listen to Naomi’s speech. The one that she was hand selected to deliver, while the rest of you are in a position to do nothing more than watch from the crowds.”
With the catty group of women stunned into silence, Ethan smiles, his work complete. “Enjoy the rest of your evening, ladies.”
They watch as he downs the rest of his drink before sauntering off. Once he’s gone, Monica huffs out a shaky breath. “Well...I’ve always said there’s nothing more attractive than a man defending the woman he loves.”

Now You See Me. Ethan x m!MC
Summary: a bunch of one-shots featuring: MC wearing glasses, the start of the competition, a crumpled X-ray for patient X, an embarrassed Ethan and a slyly smirking Dr Banerji.
m!MC : Dr Cheng Lee
Tumblr media
“Jackie?” Cheng called out and whirled his head around. “Have you seen my lenses’ box?”
“No,” came out from the bathroom, and Jackie stepped out. “Did you lose it?” She crossed her arms across her chest, a smirk touching the corner of her lips.
“No–“ Cheng fell silent. “Okay, no idea actually. I just thought I left it here before the party– oh never mind.”
“Could be anywhere now,” Jackie shrugged but patted Cheng on the shoulder as she passed by. “It was one wild party. You do have another pair, right?”
Cheng grimaced and pointed at his watch. “Not near enough to get them out and make it to my shift on time. Dr Ramsey’ll chew me out.” He sighed. “Have to be this then.” He adjusted the big round glasses on his nose. It was an old pair from med school, with a loose left earpiece.
“Ne-e-rd,” drawled our Jackie and winked.
— - - -
The competition announcement and the news of Dr Banerji stepping down overtook Edenbrook like a storm. Interns chatted, residents were explaining something, Jackie talked to a very excited Elijah, Bryce came round to see what was it all about, and somewhere in the corner there even was a friendly brawl...
Cheng stared. Just stared at Dr Ramsey standing in front of the crowd, right next to the board where next week there will be rankings.
Dr Ramsey looked worse to wear. It wasn’t that obvious, and Cheng cursed under his breath that, for some reason, he could tell. It was the way Dr Ramsey slightly hunched just one shoulder, or that he kept stuffing his hands into the white coat’s pockets.
Cheng squinted, He was expecting to see dark lines under Dr Ramsey’s eyes, and ... oh. The other caught him looking. Cheng gulped but held the intense gaze. First second a scowl, and then surprise pass Dr Ramsey’s features as if he just realised who was staring at him. He corked his eyebrow, and Cheng flushed and looked away.
“At least that explains the shouting,” Cheng muttered to himself as he eyed his shoes. “I wonder why Dr Banerji would–“
“You’re okay?” Sienna whispered as she touched his arm.
Cheng jumped but muffled the yelp. “Y-yeah. Just, erm, lost in thought?”
“Oh.” She might have followed his glance back at Dr Ramsey. Sienna smiled, and instead, “Are you worried about the competition too?”
Cheng looked to the side of the crowd one final time. It was just in time to notice Dr Ramsey leaving.
“Yeah. Sure.” Cheng shook his head, his glasses slipped so he pushed them up his nose again.
It calmed down from that. They gushed over the competition for some time before hurrying off to their patients.
— - - - -
“Where is it…” Cheng muttered under his breath and went on looking around the nurses' station. It happened to be empty, and Cheng needed his patient file right away so he resorted to searching without the nurses. “Where could it… aha? Oh, no. Ugh.”
His glasses slipped down his nose, and Cheng cursed. With the loose earpiece, those wouldn’t keep in place every time he bent down or looked around the shelves. It wasn’t annoying itself, rather Cheng had no time to look for the missing page. He had no excuse for the delay, Zaid was expecting him by the patient’s side some minutes ago! And it’s not like the whole file went missing, no, the most unnerving part of it all was that it was only the latest page with the tests results. It could have unclipped, or slipped out, or got misplaced for what it was worth!
“Dr Mirani wouldn’t believe I had it clipped, right?” Cheng grumbled but this time in Mandarin. It was the utmost point of his frustration. “Because I did! I did! I had it, I read it and wrote my notes over it, and now it’s just… just gone! Ugh.”
“Dr Lee?”
“Huh?!” Cheng jumped at the voice and knocked his head straight into the table. “Ouch!”
“Sorry– you okay?!” Catherine, a nurse, rushed around the station and squatted by his side. She took his face in her hands and looked over, as Cheng tried to fend her off. Rather weakly, he was seeing stars and not in a good way.
“Have you seen any of Mrs Ronalds pages?” Cheng chocked out.
“Oh, I’ve left the files for you–“
“Yeah, thanks.” Cheng rubbed the back of his head, and Catherine let go with a sigh. "I found the folder. But maybe you’ve seen some loose pages around?”
“Is something missing?” Catherine knit her eyebrows together.
“Ye– no. Never mind.” Cheng scrambled to his feet, then offered Catherine his hand so that she can stand up as well. The last thing he wanted was to get someone else in trouble because of his carelessness. He could have forgotten the page in the waiting room, right? Or it slipped out around the cafeteria…!
Catherine opened her mouth to add something but Cheng cut her off.
“What’s that?” He pointed at the jammed X-ray file in her hand.
“Ah, this? Some of Dr Ramsey’s files, he was testing the machine just this morning–“
Cheng snatched it. “Patient X, huh?”
Catherine shrugged. “Yeah, like I said. The X-ray is pretty old so Dr Ramsey went in to check how’s it working. Guess he needed to call it something. But it does prove his point, the file got all crumpled.” She leaned in closer to Cheng, her eyes darting to see if anyone else could hear, and whispered, “Dr Ramsey must’ve managed to wrestle the other one, I did see him leave with an X-ray. He cursed rather loudly. Might have missed he made two.”
“I’ll take it to him,” Cheng suggested before he had time to think.
“Really?” Catherine beamed and clutched his hand in between hers. “Thank you! But mind it, he was angry. Like, very angry.” She glanced around again. "Furious."
Cheng smiled sheepishly and waved it off. “I kinda… would pass his office anyway? Don’t worry. I think I can handle it.”
Cheng wasn’t sure about it himself but took the files and left before Catherine got a chance to say anything.
“See ya,” he waved some distance away and stepped into the elevator.
- - - -
Cheng sighed and rubbed the back of his neck as he made his way to the administrative floor. On second thought, it could have gone way worse with Mrs Ronalds. Dr Mirani wasn’t impressed by Cheng being late, sure, but it saved the day since Cheng could remember the exact diagnosis he wrote. He just no longer had the test results to support it.
“Now, why did I…?” Cheng sighed again and traced off. He glanced at the crumpled X-ray file in his hand, then pushed up his glasses. “To help Catherine, yeah, it’s the only reason. Dr Ramsey’s pretty scary when he’s mad. And scowling.” Cheng looked at his shoes and groaned. “Just what the hell is wrong with me.” He decided he definitely didn’t need an excuse to stop by Dr Ramsey’s office. And he, certainly, didn’t need one to check how was the other doing. Never mind the morning. Forget how lost and tired Dr Ramsey looked.
Cheng breathed in and out sharply and reached out for the door in front of him. His heartbeat drumming in his ears wasn’t helping much. He knocked.
Then again. And once more but louder. “Dr Ramsey?” Cheng tried the handle, yet the office was locked. “Hm. That’s weird.” He glanced at his watch. “He’s usually around here at this time of– wait. How do I remember– why do I even know that?!” Cheng muttered to himself some more and stormed down the corridor.
He was about to check on his patients, the crumpled X-ray still under his arm, when a familiar figure flashed round the corner. Cheng only caught a glimpse, Dr Ramsey hurried off and disappeared into another corridor. Cheng darted after him. He considered calling out but that meant alerting everyone in the waiting room and the hall full of patients. So he decided against it and just dashed forward.
To Cheng’s surprise, Dr Ramsey was rather fast. He never expected the other to nearly run about Edenbrook! A flight of stairs, then a turn, and another– Cheng was panting.
“Wait, isn’t this…?” He stopped and whirled his head around. Surely, Cheng stood by the end where the new wing was starting. It was still under construction: workers, materials, plastic sheeting all around and machines buzzing. “Why is he…?”
“Rookie.” The stern gaze and the usual scowl snapped Cheng out of his thoughts. “Why were you–“
“Oh, Dr Ramsey,” Cheng blurted out, “hey, I–“ in a few steps he reached the man and abruptly stopped right in front of him. Perhaps, a little too late because Cheng ended up close, really close to Dr Ramsey. As in he accidentally chipped his shoe nose against the other.
Cheng jerked his head up, and Dr Ramsey nearly missed it slamming into his chin. But didn’t step back, no, just tilted his head to the side and grasped Cheng’s forearm to steady him. Cheng found his own eyes tracing from those fingers, clasped around his arm, and up to the tense shoulders.
“Sorry,” Cheng muttered. “I–“ The crumpled X-ray slipped from under his arm. “Oh.”
They dived after it together, fingers brushing as both picked the X-ray up.
“There you go.” Dr Ramsey let go first and quickly stood up. He cleared his throat and looked away.
Still standing that close. One of their shoes touching. Cheng shut his eyes and slowly raised up to his feet.
“Erm.”
“Why were you following me?” Dr Ramsey asked sternly.
“…"
“Rookie,” he insisted.
“I–“ Cheng shoved the X-ray back under his arm. It was an impulse, really. “I wanted to see if you are, well, that is how you’re doing?”
Dr Ramsey gave him a look. It wasn’t that scary when you get used to it, just intense and felt like he was trying to see through Cheng and get under his skin. Finally, he asked quietly, “Why?” The sound got almost drowned out by the construction buzz.
Cheng shrugged. “You looked tired.”
Some workers passed around them.
“I am.” And with that, for no apparent reason, Dr Ramsey turned around and strode off.
Cheng blinked. Then again. He watched Dr Ramsey leave but not to the main wing, instead, he went down the corridor still under construction! Cheng glanced down, his eyes lingering on the X-ray, and suddenly remembered.
“Dr Ramsey, wait! You’ve forgotten this!” He shouted and ran after him. They caught up some further distance in – Cheng snatched Dr Ramsey’s hand to stop him. He clutched it, then intertwined their fingers together to be absolutely sure Dr Ramsey wouldn’t just yank it free. “Well, not forgotten, you didn’t notice this jammed up the X-ray so I was looking for you to drop it by.”
Dr Ramsey froze, and Cheng slowly lowered his eyes to see what got the other so worked up. Dr Ramsey didn’t spare the X-ray file a glance, no, his full attention was on their hands, fingers clasped together. Cheng pushed his glasses up.
There was some movement just behind Dr Ramsey’s back. Cheng noted it with the corner of his eye. And gawked.
"Dr Banerji?!”
In a hospital gown. With a walking cane.
Dr Ramsey whirred around as well. “Naveen.”
“Ethan.” Dr Banerji smiled wider, amusement written all over his face. And wider. But most importantly slyer.
Cheng followed to what both doctors were looking at. Dr Ramsey paled, his face fell. Dr Banerji smirked. Cheng glanced from their clasped hands to Dr Banerji, to Dr Ramsey and their hands again. And yet when Cheng shifted his hand a little, Dr Ramsey gripped it firmed.
Cheng looked back at Dr Banerji and over his outfit. It dawned on him that they were, in fact, in the new Edenbrook wing, still under construction, and there was a clearly hospitalised Dr Banerji who retired without a word but that morning. Actually, Dr Banerji didn’t make an appearance at all, and Cheng didn’t see him around last week. It all fitted together nicely, but Cheng couldn’t tie it tougher just yet.
Oh. And Dr Banerji certainly did see him holding Dr Ramsey’s hand. While being admitted to the closed for construction hospital wing? Cheng’s thought darted back and forth and he couldn’t choose which one alarmed him more.
Dr Ramsey stared at Dr Banerji smirking at the fact they were holding hands. While still grasping onto Cheng’s hand as if he couldn’t let go of it.
So Cheng reacted to both – he snapped his head up, stared at Dr Banerji and cried out, “Wait, wha-a-at?!"

Every Baby Name We Could Possibly Think Of
Naming your baby is a big decision, and with endless options, it can also be a difficult one. Whether you're going the traditional route or want something more unique (if so, read this first!) it's helpful to have a little, or a lot, of inspiration. Ahead, you'll find nearly every baby name we could think of (close to 1,000!). These aren't just random names we found in a book or concocted ourselves - they're almost all monikers we've heard being used, or we actually know someone who goes by the name. If we missed any, tell us in the comments!

Pairing: Ethan Ramsey X Catherine Valentine

Genre: Fluff
Premise: Jenner takes a liking to a stranger.

____________
The early morning wind coloured Ethan's cheeks in a rosy blush, Jenner skipping along his side.
Boston was always quiet at four in the morning, save the occasional car or pedestrian.
He walked around the park, feeling the wind and the sun, and often stopping to pet Jenner.
Just then, something triggered Jenner, for he shook himself off of Ethan's grasp, and bounded into the bushes.
"Jenner! Hey, Jenner!" The young resident yelled. "Dammit."
He quickly followed the leash, and found Jenner on top of a laughing young lady.
"Jenner!" He exclaimed, pulling him away from the girl, as he went red.
"I'm so sorry." He offered, looking slightly mortified, as he offered the girl his hand.
Hardly had their hands touched that Ethan felt a spark, and almost withdrew his hand.
The girl got up, and smiled.
Ethan's breath hitched.
She was lovely.
Blonde-brown hair sparkling in the wintry sunlight, her cheeks rosy and green eyes sparkling. She must've been at least 5'8", and her smile radiated love.
"He's an absolute love. What's his name?" The girl cooed, sitting down on the grass, as Jenner slowly approached her and snuggled into her lap.
Ethan smiled. "Jenner."
An amused smile tugged at her lips. "Seriously? You named her after Kylie?"
Ethan went a bright red. "What-no!" He spluttered. "Edward Jenner was an English physi-"
The girl cut him off, laughing. "I know who Edward Jenner is. But how about you? Got a name, stranger?"
She pat the grass beside her, and Ethan took his spot. "Ethan Ramsey." He said, smiling.
The girl's jaw went slack. "Ethan Ramsey? As in Junior Resident of Edenbrook's famed Diagnostics Team Ethan Ramsey? As in Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome researcher Ethan Ramsey? As in Diagnostic Principles author Ethan Ramsey?!"
Ethan smiled awkwardly. "I assume you're in the medical field."
The girl stared at him incredulously, her hand working on Jenner's fur on autopilot. "You're kidding."
Ethan raised an eyebrow. "What gave you that idea?"
The girl stared. "So, what you're saying is, I'm sitting beside the person for whom I am enduring med school?"
Ethan chuckled quietly. "Which medical school, may I ask?"
The girl smiled. "JHU."
Ethan nodded appreciatively. "Which year, Ms....?"
"Catherine Valentine, final year. I'm actually....applying to Edenbrook."
Ethan nodded thoughtfully. "I assume internal medicine, considering you read Diagnostic Principles?"
Catherine nodded, then suddenly smiled. "There's this cute puppy café down the block. Can I interest you in joining me for some coffee and cuddles?"
Ethan smiled. "I suppose...."

Love on the Ward
Tumblr media
Pairing: Ethan Ramsey X Catherine Valentine
Category: Open Heart, Book 2
Genre: Fluff
Word count: 900+
Characters: Ethan Ramsey, Catherine Valentine, mentions of Naveen Banerji, Harper Emery and Sienna Trinh
Premise: Catherine doesn't show up for work and it has Ethan worried sick.
Trope(s): Sickness, comfort, taking care
A/N: Leave a like/reblog if you feel like it, it always makes a writer happy! ❤️
__________________
Ethan walked into the hospital, adjusting the tie, the faint scent of artificial fragrance and antiseptic hitting his senses.
He walked straight up to the seventh floor, right into his office.
Keeping his bag on his chair, he began to prepare some coffee to get him through the day. It was a new session, which meant a flock of new interns, and Ethan needed coffee if he wanted to refrain from scaring the interns into quitting.
As he took a sip, his pager went off. "For the love of-" he sighed when he noticed it was from Harper, notifying him to come down to the atrium for the interns' orientation.
Walking past the intensive care unit, he stopped short. He was pretty sure Catherine had been assigned to the ICU today, but she was nowhere to be seen. Maybe she was at the very back of the ward, he wondered, as he kept walking. It was weird that he hadn't seen her at all, considering he saw her every single day.
Pushing the thought to the back of the mind, he took a deep breath and approached the atrium.
He saw Harper finish orientation, and beckoned to Sienna to start the morning rounds.
"Let's get started with rounds." He said coolly, to the interns, some of whom were staring brazenly at his figure, while others were probably daydreaming, their eyes glossy.
Pinching the bridge of his nose, he walked off, Sienna and the interns hot on his trail.
The rounds went pretty well, given Ethan didn't chew anyone out- partly because Sienna intervened at every mistake, partly because some part of him was worrying about Catherine.
As soon as the last intern finished diagnosing, Ethan intervened. "Please remember that your patients were alive the last time I saw them. Make sure that doesn't change." With that, he left.
He went up to his office, and immediately shot Catherine several text messages. Noting that she had been offline since yesterday night, he assumed she hadn't used her phone.
Some part of him still nagged at him to check the attendance register.
He walked over to the nurses' station, and quietly flipped open the register. He scrolled through the Year 2 Residency name-list, seeing almost every name ticked off, but Catherine's.
So she hadn't come in.
That was strange, given she almost never missed work.
Concerned, he went to the Chief of Medicine's office, and hurriedly explained everything to Naveen.
Ethan was allowed a break from work for that day, and he immediately left with a word of thanks to Naveen.
As he drove, he kept trying to contact Catherine-to no avail.
He parked opposite to her apartment, and almost rushed to the elevator.
"Come on, come on, why won't you work..." He muttered, jamming the buttons repeatedly, as if that would help.
Within minutes, he was standing in front of Catherine's apartment.
Fumbling with the spare keys she had given him, he burst through the door, only to be greeted with an empty apartment.
"Catherine?" He called out. No response. He gingerly opened the door to her bedroom, and found her lying on the bed, in a dazed state.
Her eyes were glossy, clearly not conscious. Panicking, he checked her pulse. She was alive.
Picking her up gently, he let her rest on the sofa as he took in her state, and the room.
The bedsheets was wrinkled, a box of tissues and an empty medicine box stood on her cabinet. The room smelled faintly of medicine and coffee.
He turned to look at her properly. She was a complete mess, breaths shallow, hair tousled and an overall disheveled appearance. He gently took her hand, feeling the burning skin. Fever, he realised.
Letting go of her limp hand, he got to work. He cleaned the bed, spread out new bedsheets he found on top of her cabinet, and threw away the used tissues and empty medicine packets.
He quickly pulled out a fresh Tee-shirt, track pants and a sweater from her closet. Carrying her to the bathroom, he gently undressed her, and laid her in the tub. Turning the warm water on, he went in search for soaps. He found some ball-like structures, that were slippery to touch. "Bath bombs." He read off the label. "What the fuck is that?" Spinning the pack around, he somehow figured out it was a kind of soap, so he ripped the packet open, took a blue one out, and gingerly threw it into the tub.
The water began to turn frothy and blue, bubbles erupting in huge numbers. He smiled to himself. Trust Catherine to buy stuff like that.
He began to massage her shoulders, when he saw her eyes flutter open.
A small moan escaped her, as she tried to adjust to the harsh sunlight.
Quickly drawing the bathroom blinds, he turned on the lights and dimmed them.
"What?" Catherine murmured groggily.
"C, it's me." Ethan said gently.
Catherine whipped around to note her boyfriend standing by the bathroom windows, smiling softly at her, his hands blue and foamy.
"What a-are you doing?" She slurred slightly.
"Taking care of you." He said serenely, as he took his place behind her and began to massage her again.
She sunk against the bathtub quietly.
"Why didn't you text me?" Ethan sounded rather hurt.
"I didn't want to worry you. Besides, I hadn't known it would get this serious." She responded quietly.
"Let me take care of you now." Ethan said calmly. "I'll notify Naveen of your illness so you can take the week off."
She smiled weakly at him. "This is why I love you."
He smiled. "I love you too."
Working his way down her back, around her stomach, then back up to her shoulders, he finished massaging her.
Draining the foamy water, he filled it again with lukewarm water, and then helped her out. Grabbing a robe, he gently wrapped it around her, leading her back into her bedroom.
As she dried herself and brushed her hair, Ethan ironed her clothes.
"You don't have to." Catherine protested.
"I want to."
Helping her change, he led her to the bed. "Those weren't the- did you change the sheets?" She asked in disbelief. "How long were you here?"
He smiled lightly. "Long enough to make sure you were comfortable after waking up. Lie down, and let me take your temperature."
"Dammit. You have 101°F fever. You dare not get up." He said, sternly. "I'm going to the kitchen. Relax, now, I'll be back."
Ten minutes later, he returned with a mug of hot chocolate. "Here." He said, smiling, as he put the tray on the bed.
Catherine smiled. "You made little snowmen out of marshmallows?"
Ethan shrugged. "It is December. Might as well."
She laughed weakly. "Who are you and what have you done to Ethan?"
"Don't push it, Rookie." He warned, raising his hands in mock offense.
"Have the drink. I'm preparing soup." With a soft kiss to her burning forehead, he went back to the kitchen.
He didn't see the small smile Catherine allowed upon his actions.
About half an hour later, he returned. "Creamy chicken and mushroom soup." He explained.
She looked at him quietly. "That's my favourite, and you remember."
He smiled slightly. "I always remember anything that has to do with you."
Taking the spoon, he began to feed her.
"I love you so much. Thank you for all this." She mumbled, falling into his lap.
"I love you more, C. I've already ordered the medicines, and I'll reassign your patients for the week. Just take care of yourself, so I can kiss you."
Smirking, she hugged his waist. "How romantic."
"I mean it."
"I know." Her gentle smile, and the gradual return of colour to her cheeks was enough to soothe Ethan's mind about her health, as he gently took her hand and kissed it.
"Get well soon, C."

A little positive message for you 🩷
Tumblr media
Hehe thank you @peonierose ! This gave me an idea for a fic lol.
Courageous Care
Tumblr media
Pairing: Ethan Ramsey X Catherine Valentine
Category: Open Heart, Book 1
Genre: Fluff
Word count: 700+
Warnings: None, lol.
Premise: Ethan helps a young intern during triage.
A/N: Re-written version of the triage scene in book 1, where Naveen is the Chief of Medicine, Harper is Head of Neurosurgery and Ethan is Head of the DT.
___________
Her hand trembled, as she labeled a young girl with a black tag.
Her entire world was spinning.
It was only her first week, and being thrown into the big ocean, with no notice, was quite overwhelming.
"O.R 5." She distinctly heard Harper shouting, but it was as though she herself was working on autopilot, her senses numbed as she labeled yet another man, probably in his mid thirties, a black tag.
She couldn't even comprehend her own feelings, the tags in her hand almost tearing from the sheer force with which she was gripping onto them, as if they were a lifeline.
"Give her a yellow tag, you fool, she's just had two fractures!" She heard another attending yell.
"Catherine, hurry!" She thought she heard Ines say something, but it was all hazy in her mind.
Everything seemed so out-of-place.
She saw Naveen join the doctors, deftly sorting the patients as he lent a helping hand to everyone he could, doctors and patients alike.
She started breathing fast and shallow, tears accumulating in the corners of her eyes.
"Rookie?" That rich baritone- so stern, yet with the minimum hint of a gentleness, was enough to break her final dam.
The tags- green, yellow, red, black- fell from her hand as she started hyperventilating, tears rolling down her cheeks, her patients staring at her in surprise, and shock.
"Rookie." He said sharply.
"Eth- Dr. Ramsey, I-" before she knew it, she was literally crying into his lab coat, her stained hands going around him as she sought comfort.
His jaw dropped in shock, but nevertheless, he allowed her.
"Rookie." He said calmly, "Don't freak out, you can do this. We have so many patients waiting for us."
"I know, Doctor." Catherine said quietly. "I've had to label the last four patients with black tags, and one little boy died right in front of me." She whispered.
Ethan nodded. "I can understand your mental situation, Valentine, but this is part of being a doctor. Fighting till the last ditch. You don't have time to be timid, you must be bold, and daring."
Catherine looked up at him, letting go rather awkwardly. "Sorry, Dr. Ramsey."
Nodding in response, and picking up her tags, he handed them to her. "Alright. You have three gurneys in front of you. Take a deep breath, and tell me who needs what."
Catherine inhaled sharply. "Patient on the left needs a defibrillator. Patient in the middle is in need of immediate surgery. Patient on the right has three fractures in the legs, and internal bleeding in the abdomen."
Ethan nodded. "Label."
Catherine began to calm down as she began to tag them with red labels.
"Good." Ethan said calmly. "Now, think you can take it?"
Catherine nodded, feeling herself calm down. "Thank you." She said softly.
Smiling ever so slightly at her, he left to treat other patients.
_______________
As the last of the patients was sent off from the E.R to be treated, the doctors all sunk down, either onto chairs, or on the beds, some even on the floor.
Catherine caught a curtain stand for support, slowly sliding down until she was sitting on the floor.
She looked at her watch. 1.00 a.m, three hours past her shift, seven hours since the triage started.
She smiled weakly at Sienna on the opposite row, who barely managed a thumbs up.
Getting up on her feet, she saw Ethan sitting on the floor, looking at his stained, gloved hands.
Quietly approaching him, she plopped down near him.
He seemed to be in deep thought, as he stared pensively at his hands.
"Dr. Ramsey?" She whispered.
He jerked up. "Oh, yes...Rookie?" He asked, slightly surprised.
She smiled sadly at him. "Thank you for the advice and help during the triage."
Ethan barely nodded.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?"
His only response was a pensive smile. "The number of people who will make it, the number of people who won't, and the number of people who didn't."
Catherine nodded. "I can't let this get to me." She muttered.
Ethan shook his head. "That's where you're wrong. Doctors should value life, I'd be more concerned if you weren't upset. What you saw today, it's just a reflection of how many people die deaths like this. It's pathetic, and sometimes, even after trying your best, you can't change the fate of the patient. Instead of wallowing in sorrow, however, let your soul feel the pain, the loss, the regret. But, also let it feel the joy of having saved so many lives. I watched you work on the first couple patients during triage, Rookie. You really have what it takes to be an exceptional doctor."
Catherine smiled weakly. "The Ethan Ramsey dishing out compliments?"
Ethan managed a small smile. "Accept it, it's not everyday that you'll get it."
Catherine nodded. "Also, I'm sorry about ruining your lab coat." She said sheepishly.
Ethan shrugged. "I'll be sending the coats for laundry tomorrow anyway, so it doesn't matter."
Catherine smiled. "Did I scare you with the sudden hug?"
Ethan shook his head vehemently. "Scare? No. Startle? Maybe. I've never had interns cry IN my arms. That was definitely a first. Interns usually cry BECAUSE of me, not seek comfort from me."
Catherine smiled. "This needs to go down on Guinness World Records. Ethan Ramsey, mean, cold, diagnostician, let's intern hug him while cryi-"
"Don't push it, Rookie." He warned solemnly, a small hint of a smile tugging at his lips as he slumped against the bed.
"Thank you, though, really." She said sincerely.
Ethan nodded, resting his hand atop hers. "You can thank me by remembering what I said, and implementing it. You don't have time to be-"
"Timid, you must be bold and daring." Catherine finished.
Ethan nodded, smiling. "Exactly."

Degree of Fancy
Tumblr media
Pairing: Ethan Ramsey X Catherine Valentine
Characters: Ethan, Catherine, Sienna, Jackie, Elijah, Aurora, Bryce, Anna, Daphne, Lucas, Alan
Category: Alternate Universe
Genre: Fluff
Word count: 900+
Premise: Return from the hospital, a little bit of fun during a sleepover and a birthday invite.
A/N: Drop a like if you feel like it, it always makes a writer happy! 🥰❤️
________
Ethan woke up. His blurry vision scanned the room, before he felt a hand press him back down on a bed.
"Easy there, child." The quiet voice of Daphne Valentine soothed the beating in his ears.
"Where am I?"
"In the hospital."
"What? Why?"
"You hit your head and lost consciousness. The others are also being treated."
Ethan opened his eyes, his vision much better. "How are they?"
Daphne nodded. "Stable."
Then, she whispered, "Thank you for saving my darling."
Ethan smiled weakly, he could feel sleep engulfing him.
"I'll be back in five minutes, your father will be arriving shortly."
Just then, Alan walked in, and Daphne smiled in delight. "There you go, Ethan."
The two adults exchanged pleasantries, before Daphne bent down and kissed Ethan on the forehead and walked out.
Ethan closed his eyes tightly, trying to keep his emotions at bay.
Being kissed like that, with maternal love and affection, even the heavens knew he'd missed it.
He felt Alan talking, and he engaged in the conversation.
___________
Catherine moaned, her head throbbing as her eyes tried to adjust to the warm lights.
"Holy fuc-"
"I'm here."
"Holy fuchsia."
"Totally believable."
"What else would I be meaning?"
"Of course." The teasing twinkle of Daphne Valentine welcomed Catherine back to consciousness.
She sat up, looking around. She was in the general ward, and saw her friends in different beds, their parents surrounding them.
"Where's Ethan, Anna and Bryce?"
"Ethan is in a private ward because he faced several injuries all over his body, Anna is in ventilation, and Bryce is at the other end of the ward. His parents will be arriving shortly."
Catherine nodded. "Can I see them?"
"Wait for the doctor."
Just then, Sienna's voice reached her. "C?"
"I'm alive."
"Me too. Cheers."
"Cheers. Where's the doctor?"
"Mom said she's coming."
"Ehh."
Just then, a doctor walked in. "How are you kids feeling?"
"Alive."
The doctor quickly performed an overall checkup, and announced everyone fit. "You all can go see your friends if you wish."
The six got out of their beds.
"Ethan first. Then Anna." Catherine said firmly.
"Without doubt."
Catherine saw the adults talking, and they slipped out.
"Doc said room 625."
_____________
"Ethan?" His eyes fluttered open to meet the nervous face of Catherine Valentine.
"Hi" he softly murmured.
"Doc said we are fit to leave, what about you?"
"Mm...will be discharged...two hours.... hurts in the head....see you soon..." Ethan's eyes were struggling to stay open.
"Get well soon, stupid." Jackie mumbled.
"He's not stupid?" Sienna said incredulously.
The friend group went out, Catherine requesting an extra five minutes with Ethan.
Before she could speak, however, "no."
She looked at him in surprise. "No, C. I know you are going to apologize, for what? There's nothing to be sorry about."
Catherine mumbled something before sitting by him and stroking his hair.
Seeing his smile, she bent down to softly brush her lips against his forehead, eliciting a delighted squeal from him.
"Oh, sorry." Catherine looked up to see Alan and Daphne standing there, smiling slightly.
She backed off, feeling a blush creep up her neck. "I'll just..."
"Stay." The guardians left the two teens alone, and Ethan snuggled into the thin blanket, the comforting presence of Catherine lulling him to sleep.
____________
It was morning when Catherine blinked against the harsh lights. The distinct voice of Ethan rang through her ears, and she bolted up.
"Hi, C." The cheerful face of Ethan Ramsey and the morose face of Anna Holden met her.
"Hi."
Anna extended a hand awkwardly. "I believe we got off on the wrong foot. I'm sorry, and, I'd like to start over."
Catherine smiled. "Thank you."
She looked around. It was her living room. Her friends were lying in different positions, either sleeping or half awake.
Just then, Sienna stirred. "Mmmm."
Catherine laughed. "Good morning to you too."
"Morning, duck face."
Catherine shoved her playfully, as Sienna groaned. "Bloody hell, I feel so sore."
"Stretch around, it'll help."
"Gee, thanks, Doc."
"Main question is, how did we end up in C's living room?" Anna asked curiously.
"That would be me."
The twinkling face of Daphne Valentine popped into the room. "Your parents gave me permission to let all of you spend a couple of days at our place."
Bryce smiled. "Thanks, Mrs. Valentine."
Daphne smiled, then said, "Breakfast is ready, if you all are."
____________
Ethan took his place beside Catherine, blushing slightly.
"Why are you looking like a tomato?" Catherine asked, giggling.
Ethan looked at his plate, unable to say anything.
Teasingly, Catherine squeezed his thigh, and Ethan went fifty shades darker.
Catherine looked down, just in case she hurt him, then had to bite back a small laugh.
Ethan couldn't even look at her.
"Awww." Catherine teased.
"Stop. It's embarrassing." Ethan mumbled.
Catherine laughed. "What? It's natural, now that you're undergoing adolescence."
Ethan sighed. "I know, but really? Here, of all places? Everyone will see it as soon as I get up!" He whispered.
Catherine laughed. "Hopefully it'll die down by then."
"What are you two talking about?" Sienna asked curiously.
"Look at Ethan, he's blushing." Anna teased.
Jackie snorted. "Who knows, maybe they're playing under the table."
"Jackie!" Elijah said, blushing slightly. "We are minors!"
Jackie rolled her eyes. "Chill, meathead. We all know what sex is." Bryce added.
Catherine laughed as Ethan blushed harder. "Awww you're fifty shades of red."
"It's not funny." Ethan hissed, and Catherine stopped, seeing his eyes.
"Sorry." She said apologetically.
Even after lunch, Ethan resolutely refused to get up for reasons unknown to all but Catherine.
As the others filed out of the room, Catherine was about to turn the lights off when she saw Ethan sitting at the table.
She chuckled. "Your tent pole is still upright?"
Ethan helplessly glared at her.
______________
"I win!" Sienna declared, knocking out Catherine's final chess piece.
"Well played, Si. Rematch?" Catherine said enthusiastically.
"You're on!" Sienna said, laughing.
_______________
"Goodnight, campers. Have fun." Daphne Valentine said cheerfully before leaving Catherine's bedroom, all the kids camping on mattresses.
_______________
The next morning, Ethan woke up to a dark room.
"Mmnghh." He moaned. Looking at the digital alarm clock, he realised it was 4.00 a.m.
Just then, he felt someone stir beside him.
"Ethan?" Anna whispered.
"Mm?"
"It's so dark."
"Mm."
"Go to sleep."
"Mm!"
"Stop saying mm!" Anna snapped sleepily.
"Mm..."
Sighing, Anna turned on her side and went back to her peaceful slumber.
________________
It was 8.00 a.m when they all were very rudely awoken by Lucas Valentine barging in, in pursuit of his lost TV remote.
After breakfast, when everyone left, Daphne called Catherine for a conversation.
"Invite them over for your birthday." She said simply.
"What? Oh, yeah. I'd been planning on that." Catherine said lightly.
"Don't plan, put it in action. Your birthday is almost here."
Catherine nodded. "Alright. I'll invite them now."

Birthday bellsssss
Help, I don't know what I did with this chapter 😭

Electric love
Tumblr media
Have I tried writing angst? Yes.
Have I fully succeeded in leaving a purely angsty ending? Never.
So yes, it's an angsty fluff story- mainly angst, hurt, and some comfort.
_______________
Pairing: Ethan Ramsey X Catherine Valentine
Word count: 4K+ (my longest fiction yet lol)
Genre: Angsty fluff?
Trope(s): Hurt, comfort, illness, rejection, longing
Premise: She'd thought they had some chemistry between them, but he simply refused to let the spark turn into a flame.
A/N: This is my longest fic yet, so....enjoy if you can!
___________________
The drops that rolled down her cheeks were not tears of sorrow or hatred, it was of frustration, and acceptance.
She was never going to be his.
She'd thought they had some chemistry between them, but he simply refused to let the spark turn into a flame.
She was done with waiting.
Or maybe she wasn't. Maybe it was just something she was telling herself, convincing herself she was okay and that she wouldn't fall apart.
Catherine stared at her tear stained face in the mirror, her cheeks streaked with the mascara mix with her tears.
Having been pushed away by Ethan, yet again, for the umpteenth time, had done more than shatter her heart.
It had destroyed her self-esteem, little by little.
She doused her face with water, and clutched the edges of the basin tightly as she let the tears fall.
She didn't even hear the slight creak of the door as somebody pushed it open.
"Dr. Valentine?"
Oh no. No no no no no. Dear Lord.
Quickly blinking her eyes, she wiped her cheeks furiously, trying to remove the mascara from her face.
"Dr. Valentine? Catherine?"
She turned around, gritting her teeth in an attempt to stop the flow of tears.
"Can I help you, Dr. Ramsey?"
It stung. He couldn't deny it. He couldn't remember the last time his surname sounded so formal on her lips.
It stung much more than he cared to admit.
And it shattered him, as he saw the evident proof of her broken state.
A state he would've never seen if only he hadn't fallen so hard for her. If only he hadn't let her fall for him.
If only he could push his issues and fear of abandonment away.
"Can I help you?"
There was steel ice in her voice.
There were so many things he wanted to tell her. How she was the love of his life, how she was quite literally a part of him, and how he couldn't imagine life without her.
So many things, all left unspoken because fear overwhelmed him.
Instead, all that came out of his mouth was "We have a case. Please report to the DT office as soon as possible."
The shock and hurt on her face increased the burning in his heart.
But he turned away. He couldn't give in, he just couldn't.
Her professional development was more important than his happiness.
Catherine stared at the retreating form of Ethan. She still couldn't bring herself to believe the audacity of that man.
Knowing she couldn't mix her personal life with her professional one, she bit her lip and washed her face, deciding to tackle the case.
Upon reaching the office, she found it was empty. Well, almost. Only one person was there.
Seated behind the majestic marble table was Ethan, his reading glasses perched on the bridge of his nose as he typed away on his computer.
She blinked twice, before clearing her throat. "Where's the rest of the team?"
"They'll be along shortly. They've been paged."
Ethan got up from his seat, and there was a sudden clicking sound.
Startled, Catherine held the doorknob and accidentally turned it.
To her horror, she found it locked.
Lovely.
"Can we talk?"
"No."
"Catherine, please."
Catherine hated the fact that his eyes were moist. She didn't want to cause him pain, but she had to protect herself.
"I said, no."
Ethan's shoulders dropped, as he hung his head.
"Okay."
____________
Catherine should have been feeling victorious. She had solved the case alongside Ethan, and she had avoided sparking any conversation that wasn't professional.
Then why was she feeling so miserable?
She walked towards the nearest on-call room, hoping to calm down and cry her heart out.
Just then, the door opened, and she crashed into a hard chest.
Oh dammit.
She knew that chiseled chest only too well, and she pushed herself away.
Unwittingly, she looked up, and hated what she saw.
Ethan's eyes were red, and his body was trembling.
She looked away, but was shocked when he tentatively reached out for her hand.
She still didn't give in. She knew she would harm herself if she did.
Blinking fast and furious, she walked past him.
It was midnight, and the hallways were dimly lit with no one around.
The silence allowed her to hear the soft thud behind her.
Whipping around, she gasped.
Ethan was on the floor.
_______________________
Sprinting upto him and kneeling down, she shook him. Gently at first, then more vigorously.
Keeping a cool head, she brought a wheelchair from nearby and pulled him up onto that after some effort.
Wheeling him out of the hallway and into one of the empty hospital wards, she put an arm under his and around his back, supporting his frame as she walked him towards the bed.
Getting him in, she sighed.
Why did fate always have to be so untimely?
Dimming the lights, she touched his forehead to check for any fever.
It was burning.
Catherine took a thermometer from the table along a window in the ward, and gently prised his mouth open and put it in.
Making sure it was correctly positioned, she walked towards the door and locked it, and let the curtains shield the windows.
Ensuring there was total privacy, she gently stripped him of his damp clothes, leaving him in nothing, and covered him in a warm blanket.
Seeing his shivering lessen slightly, she sighed in relief.
The thermometer beeped. 102.5°F.
Catherine stared. He hadn't looked sick since morning, what was this sudden wave of fever?
Suddenly, she heard him moan.
Turning around, she stared.
She wanted to escape, but leaving him while he was unwell seemed like a criminal offence to her.
Him moaning again brought her back to reality.
Filling a glass with water, she gently stroked his hair.
Ethan's eyes fluttered open. Seeing Catherine bent over him startled him, but it hurt to move.
It hurt to do anything than lie still.
Feeling the cold glass against his lips, he opened his mouth, letting the chill of the water soothe his body.
"Are you okay?"
Ethan sighed, his brows furrowing, as he turned to his side. "What? Why am I here?"
Catherine ran her fingers through his damp curls. Seeing him so vulnerable broke her heart, and she knew she had to put aside her feelings and help him.
"You collapsed a couple of hours ago. Had me worried there."
His features were distorted with fatigue, and he mumbled incoherently before falling asleep again.
It was 3.00 a.m when Ethan woke up, shivering profusely.
He sat up, and felt a cold hand on his head. What was happening?
As the memories came back, he felt a bag of mixed emotions.
Gently taking the hand on his forehead, he kissed it.
The hand trembled, and he turned to see Catherine staring at him, tears pooling in her eyes.
"You're okay." Was all she whispered.
Not giving him a chance to ask questions, she got up briskly and pulled out his clothes.
Startled, Ethan gaped. Those were the clothes he had been wearing yesterday. Then....
Looking under his blanket, he felt heat creeping up his neck and cheeks.
"I was the one who treated you, don't worry. Nobody was there." Her whisper was barely audible but he heard it.
He looked up at her, and sighed in relief.
"Get changed, I'll drive you to your place."
"I can drive, Catherine. Don't worry." He mumbled.
"Do you have any intention of getting into an accident? Unless it's a yes, shut up and let me drive."
Getting up weakly, he tried to put on his vest, but his coordination was extremely poor due to him being fatigued, and he dropped onto the bed.
Feeling his legs slip into his boxers, he looked down and realized Catherine was helping him. As he got up, she worked quickly, getting him into his clothes.
He looked down to meet his eyes, and found only warmth there.
Relief washed over him.
____________
15 minutes later, they were in his Mercedes, as she turned some meditation music on.
They'd been halfway into the journey when she spotted him fast asleep.
Just then, he moaned. Interlacing their hands, Catherine dabbed at her eyes, trying to focus on getting him home instead of how bad he must have felt upon her behaviour towards him.
_____________
Ethan woke up, sweating. Looking around, he saw a glass of water and a paracetamol tablet on his bedside table on a small china plate.
Taking the medicine, he got out of bed.
Walking unsteadily into the bathroom, he washed his face when he heard a soft knock on the door.
Opening it, he felt Catherine throw her arms around him, pressing against him tightly.
"How are you feeling now?" She breathed into his ear.
"Better. I want to have a shower, I'm sweating."
"Okay." I've made soup, I'll see you after the shower. Also, don't worry about Jenner or your pending paperwork. I've taken care of those."
She didn't notice Ethan smile, but she felt him clutch her wrist, and she turned around.
"Can you, like, shower, I mean-"
"Shower with you?"
"Yes"
Ethan's rosy blush was so adorable that Catherine smiled, for the first time since she'd been in his presence.
"Give me a minute."
Stepping into the shower with him, she turned lukewarm water settings on and tenderly washed him, rubbing his shoulders, waist and neck, letting him melt into her touch.
The two spent ages in the shower, before stepping out.
Ethan's face had gained some of its colour back, and his eyes were sparkling.
Putting a bathrobe around him, Catherine dried his hair, running her fingers through his curls.
As they walked into the bedroom, Ethan motioned towards his bed.
"You want to sleep?"
"No, can we talk?"
Catherine nodded, sobering up.
Leading him to the bed, she sat him down, stroking his cheek before sitting beside him.
"Let me begin by saying I've said sorry many times, and I've not shown that through actions. Allow me one last chance, not to apologize verbally, but through actions."
Catherine looked deep into his eyes, searching for any doubt, but when she found none, she smiled.
"You're sick, Ethan. Don't worry about this right now."
"You'll make me more sick if you don't give me a direct answer."
"It's alright, Ethan. But just so you know, if you ever push me away and hurt me like this again, I'm stealing Jenner and running away."
Ethan laughed, falling onto the bed and pulling her beside him.
"You have my word. I'll show you how much I care, how much I love you."
Catherine leaned over and sweetly kissed his lips, feeling at peace again.
"Have some rest. Goodnight."
"G'night."

Hii 🥰
I just saw this and thought it’ll inspire a fic or a moodboard for your MC‘s or OC‘s
(No pressure 🥰)
Tumblr media
This line 🤌🏻❤️✨️
It's a really short story, with almost no plot, and pure fluff.
Enjoy if you can!
_______
When we first met
Genre: Pure fluff
Word count: 4H+
Pairing: Ethan Ramsey X Catherine Valentine
_______
"You want some coffee?"
Ethan's rich baritone startled her out of her train of thoughts.
"What?"
Ethan gently untangled her legs from his, stepping onto the rug and scooping Catherine up, bridal style, before kissing her.
"I," he kissed her forehead, "asked," kiss on the nose, "you" kiss on the eyes, "if" kiss on the cheeks, "you wanted" kiss on her head, "coffee" kiss on the lips.
By the time he was done, she was fully laughing, her face mushed against his shoulder.
"I do."
Ethan let her down, and trudged off to the kitchen.
Upon coming back, he saw Catherine with that same dreamy look in her eyes.
Setting the coffee down, he pulled her close.
"You seem lost in thought today. Whassamatter?"
Catherine smiled. "What was your first impression of me?"
Ethan raised an eyebrow. "An annoying intern?"
Catherine rolled her eyes. Making a face, she shoved him, causing him to laugh.
"I'm serious. When we first met, I had no idea that you'd become this important to me. I saw you as a headstrong and stubborn, yet intelligent and compassionate doctor. You were always special, C. I was yet to meet an intern who stood out so much in a good way. I selected you because I knew you were one of a kind. You definitely are, running into walls with your eyes wide open, slipping, falling, making ridiculous lyrics-"
That earned him another playful shove. But Ethan was lost in thought. He was almost musing to himself, just loud enough for Catehrine to hear and comprehend.
"But then, life is always so unexpected, isn't it? Five years ago, if anyone had told me I'd be happily married with three children, I'd have told them to shut it and get on with their life.
Now, it's as if being a husband and a father was always meant for me, just like being a doctor was. I-"
The rest of his musing was shut down by Catherine throwing herself onto him, causing him to startle and catch her.
"Okay, Mr. Preacher, that's enough. Shut up and give me a kiss now."
Ethan looked at her with adoration, before kissing her.
"I love you."
"I love you too, Ethan."
