[Event 2] ran a hand through his hair as he collapsed onto the couch in his office, sighing. He was tired.
peers over his couch in an amused fashion as she reached over to mess up his hair as per usual.
huffed and glared at her. "I still need to work you know."
laughs as she waves her keycard around, " You can fix it up later then and besides, we're alone here."
nods a bit as he looked up to her. "Ja, but I still like my hair being kept professional." To an extent, at least.
rolls her eyes before sitting on him and running her fingers through his hair to fix it up for him the way she liked it. " It's so_
_ professional, you look like a tulip."
blushed a bit as he watched her. "Suits me at least."
shrugs nonchalantly in response as she was working away at her task, " Ja I guess..."
sighed and closed his eyes. "I'm tired..."
chuckles as she took her doctor's coat off after taking off the name tag. She put it on him like a_
_ blanket. " Then rest up while I do your rounds."
sighed again. "I can't let you do everything... besides, I have to do a side check on that Dane here."
shakes her head, " It's not like it's nothing I can't handle. Besides, they wouldn't figure out since our surnames are practically the_
_ same." She was more certified than him as a matter of fact.
nods a bit as he hummed. "True..." He smirked a little. "Mrs. Van der Meer."
's eye twitched for a second. "Ms . I sound old with the Mrs. in my name..."
shrugs. "It'll happen soon enough." He liked to tease her.
made a slightly unhappy sound as she didn't understand what he meant entirely except that she had just been called old.
rested his hands on her hips. "You're warm..."
raises a brow at that, " I do wear more than you usually do." She admitted.
nods. "Ja, but you just seem extra warm today..." He pulled her down so she laid on top of him.
blushed as she looked down to him. " Maybe it's just your imagination.."
shrugs. "Just stay here... you're comfier than your jacket."
sighs, " I still have work to do, Nikolaas." And she was planning on covering his work too.
mumbles and just kept her in his grip.
wriggles as she try to free herself." We're still at work you know." She hated to be the one to remind him but he was overdoing it a little.
sighed. "I know. I just wanted to rest." He let his arms slip off of her and to the side.
smiles slightly as she kissed his forehead. " I know. Just take a nap and I'll be back in a jiffy."
nods a little as he kept his eyes closed. "I'll be out in a few minutes..."
sighs, " Just sleep. It's not like your patients are usually eagerly awaiting for your check ups."
shrugs. "Dank u..." He fell asleep soon after. He really was drained.
smiles and brushed away the strands of hair away from his face as she watched. She was worried about him.
didn't see why. He was fine.
went back to her duties after. Maybe she had been overthinking things lately.
slept for a while before stirring and getting up. Now he felt groggy.
had finished his rounds quickly enough though she ended up missing for quite sometime.
went around to look for her.
Dorthe
was
still frankly no where to be found though a few patients claimed that they heard a bit of a scuffle in the stairwell, shrugging_
_ it off since they assumed it to be children misbehaving.
sighed and headed there. He wondered what danger she got into now.
might have rolled down a flight of stairs or two and landed on some glass after trying to catch a thief. Sure she kicked the guy's ass real_
_ bad though if that compensated for anything.
frowned when he saw that and instantly picked her up, and headed into a certain part of the hospital.
seemed rather dazed and abnormally quiet as she clutched her stomach. " Did I get that bastard?"
nods. "Ja, but you beat yourself up again."
smiles faintly before looking down, frowning at the trail of blood down her leg. "...I don't think I'll be a Mrs after all though."
got her onto a hospital bed and called for a nurse as well as the basics to clean her up. "Why do you say that?"
gave a rather bitter chuckle. "...My lower back is killing me. I'm having a miscarriage for goodness sakes." She had been keeping secrets_
_from him again. She had planned on telling him earlier but she saw that he was tired and figured it would be best to_
_ leave it till when they got home.
dropped the tools he was holding and just stared at her.
groaned out of pain and paled more. This wasn't going to end in a pretty way what so ever.
Netherlands
was
pushed out of the way by the nurse along with a few others around. They didn't think he should be working on her if it was that serious.
would admit that they were right after all though she didn't speak after that. The results were abysmal because of the delayed treatment.
just stared at her from afar. He couldn't believe it.
wanted to surprise him but had turned indecisive because she wasn't sure how he would react frankly.
would have preferred to not have any children this soon after getting married, but also he didn't want her to just get rid of the child...
couldn't decide because of that which easily lead her being distraught and not paying as much attention as_
_ she usually did. She was paying the consequences now however.
still didn't believe how this could be happening. He hadn't spoken once since she had said that, and barely took his eyes off her.
Dorthe
was
eventually rolled out to a room to rest. The rest of the doctors did insist that he take the rest of the day off.
didn't want to really, so he did a few check ups. He felt like he had to keep his mind busy.
continued to rest, waking up once in a while and staring at the ceiling before sleeping again.
went to visit her eventually and just sat by her bedside.
woke up shortly after and turned to look at him. She figured he would be upset from the looks of it.
kept a blank expression and face as he just looked down. He didn't know what to think.
frowns when she saw that and tried to sit up while mumbling a faint apology.
put a hand on her to keep her down. He didn't want her to hurt herself more so.
made a faint sound as she looked at him. She was most fine and tried to smile to make him feel better even if she was devasted from the loss
.
didn't think she should be smiling at anything. He felt like it was his fault.
still tried to lighten the situation. She kept quiet knowing she couldn't keep her facade for long.
knew she must be devastated. He hated it when she lied to him, or herself.
looked out to the window after and just bit her lip. It was hard to avoid crying from how much of a loss this was to her.
took her hand and rubbed his thumb over it.
looked away after as her mind went numb. She couldn't hold back the tears after all.
kept his eyes downcast and continued to rub his thumb over her hand. He didn't know how else to comfort her at a time like this.
had a bit of a mental image of him standing shocked earlier burned into her mind which didn't help one bit. She_
_ sobbed quietly into the pillow so he couldn't hear her.
knew she was crying regardless. And he couldn't help it, he had no idea she was even carrying a child.
had no idea how to break it to him in the first place. It was hard knowing he wouldn't approve in the first place.
wouldn't tell her to get rid of it regardless. He'd have had to accepted it.
knew it was her mistake after all for being so careless when pushing him on their wedding night and when she wanted to catch that thief.
thought if she was to be a mother, and a wife, she'd have to be a lot less careless.
had gotten overexcited about it really that she had forgotten her own limits. She had been wanting a child of her own for a long time...
still wished she hadn't have kept it a secret from him. He thought with them being married they'd not have any now.
had been scared that he wouldn't agree and his reaction confirmed her fears. Its was just that the unexpected happened...
knew they shouldn't have gone too far... it just ended in pain for the both of them.
ended up crying herself to the point of exhaustion that she had fallen asleep. She felt like a complete mess really.
couldn't really blame her. He'd delt with a few women who had lost children the same way, and some it terrified so much they never wanted to
try and have a family ever again.
...might have actually started to lean that way truthfully.
Netherlands
was
starting to get that, which was why he was sad himself.
felt that she was an unreliable mother figure from the turn of events which completely shattered her dreams of wanting to have a family.
just thought she needed to slow down and not be so hands on. She'd need to be responsible with kids.
frankly didn't know what to think anymore. She was aware of what it took to be a parent but it simply turned out that she couldn't be one.
didn't think it'd be best for her to be one now, but maybe when she got more responsible they could.
couldn't bring herself to think of that. Rather, she had become so mentally scarred that she would blank out at every instance about it.
wouldn't bring it up to her intentionally then, though with this line of work he didn't know what to expect.
didn't want to make things difficult for him. She was a doctor too after all and would put her full focus on work instead.
hoped she'd be able to work well again after this ordeal...
didn't think much of it. She planned on working the moment she was healed up and able-bodied.
would help treat her then, and spend his breaks with her. He still loved her after all.
didn't want to distract him from his work. She felt bad how much of a negative effect it was on him.
thought that was another reason for her to be careful. This was a stress he didn't want while working.
would try to avoid it at all costs. So she insisted that she was fine and that he should spend his breaks like he usually did before.
had the rest of the day off, thankfully. Though he didn't want her to hide or fake things from him ever.
had nothing to hide from him after that. She awoke in the middle of the evening after a terrible nightmare however.
Netherlands
was
sleeping on the side of her bed, not wanting to leave for home that night.
flinched slightly as she was caught off guard. She had assumed he would have gone home. She placed her blankets on him to keep him warm.
mumbled quietly as he squeezed her hand lightly. He still hadn't let go of her.
felt her hand twitch slightly as she returned the gesture weakly. She stared at her lap blanking out again entirely.
slowly shifted up a bit later, rubbing his eyes with his other hand before looking to her.
stared at her lap for a long time silently with a saddened expression that she rarely showed.
frowned at that and got up, hugging her lightly.
flinched out of reflex as she looked to him in a puzzled manner. She was upset that she had caused so much trouble.
just hoped she'd learn from this, and learn to take things slow and steady when needed.
stayed silent rather and stated to blank out yet again
just rubbed her back. He wondered if she was able enough to go home and rest.
had to admit she would prefer returning home now. She would probably request a few days off from the director either way.
think she'd be allowed it easily. He went to get her a wheelchair so she didn't have to move too much.
would rather walk than be in a wheel chair anyday even if it was painful for her.
would help her then... He got the word to let her go and brought the car to the front before going to help her.
kept quiet, spacing out most of the time and losing her concentration rather easily by the things that occurred around her.
got her into the seat and drove home slowly, worried for her.
held onto her wrist glancing at the medical tag once in a while. She knew her health was most likely turned for the worse, permanently.
would hope for the better. It was mentally at this rate, and if she thought too much about it it'd turn bad.
had been starting to think a little too much lately until it simply overwhelmed her and she blanked out.
would try to take her mind off of things. He didn't want this to change her 100%...
started to mumble to herself in Danish once in a while to try to keep herself in line, not wanting to let it get any worse.
helped her into the house once they got home. He wondered if she was hungry at all.
didn't have much of an appetite. Instead she went straight to the bedroom, not wanting to walk anymore after that.
understood. He got her a glass of water regardless and brought it to her before changing. He was drained.
sat in bed, clinging onto her rabbit plush almost immediately and let him do his thing.
sat on the other side of the bed and rubbed her back lightly. He hoped she'd get some sleep tonight.
flinched but stayed silent. Her hand would drift to her stomach once in a while before clutching the plush again.
frowned and pulled her into his chest. He felt terrible.
shut her eyes almost immediately as she held onto the rabbit tightly. She was rather scared in a way.
wondered how she was scared?
felt like she was losing her bearings as if everything was really her fault in the first place and that he would hate her.
didn't hate her at all. He was just worried for her. He wanted her to still be her happy self, but was afraid that this would change her
forever in a negative way.
found it hard to bring herself to be happy even if she tried for him. She blanked out again after a while when she felt overwhelmed again.
frowned more and laid her down, stroking her hair a bit. He planned on staying up to watch over her.
curled up away from him as she bit her lip. She didn't think he had to go oit of his way and not sleep.
couldn't help it, he was too worried to sleep. He didn't want her or her work to suffer from this...
knew she could still focus mostly but didn't want to risk anything now...
would make sure she got a few days off, and would take her patients.
did plan on taking a break until she recovered but she didn't know how long that would take.
would make sure she had a stress free environment and take over her work. He wanted her to recover without worry.
would hope so...
just kept by her as she laid in bed.
went to reach over for her storybook. She was aware of how many times she was mocked for keeping one but it meant a lot to her.
wouldn't say a word about it ever. Especially if it helped her now.
pushed herself up a bit so she could read the stories in it. Even if she felt like she couldn't smile, it made her feel slightly better.
wondered if she wanted him to read them to her...
knew she would have more trouble concentrating and preventing herself from breaking out into tears.
would let her be then...
