Residents [Grayson Dolan]

Residents [Grayson Dolan]

Description: Y/N and Grayson are both Pediatric Senior Residents.

Warnings: Lacerations, stitches.

Y/N walks down the hall in the Pediatrics wing at the practice she works at. She's worked here for three years, straight out of medical school. She was in the middle of answering her sisters question about her two year old nieces cough when she ran into a wall, but the wall grabs her before she crashes to the floor.

"Shit. I'm so sorry." The wall says. She looks up at what she first thought was a wall and sees an attractive man looking back at her. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm ok. Probably shouldn't be texting and walking." She says and shoves her phone in the pocket of her scrub top.

"You a Doctor here?" The man asks.

"Yeah. Pediatrics Senior Resident."

"Me too. My name's Grayson Dolan, I just transferred here from the hospital." Grayson says. He puts his hand out for her to shake, and she accepts.

"Y/N Y/L/N. I was actually just going up to reception to show you around."

"Well it looks like I found you first."

§§§

"Hey, you wanna come with me to see my patient in Two? He's got two lacerations from running into a window and he's pretty upset." Grayson asks as he leans up against the counter besides Y/N.

"Yeah, sure." She follows him into the exam room and sees a little boy on the bed, curled up with his mom by his side.

"Mrs. Shaw. This is Doctor Y/L/N. She's the other Senior Resident here, and she's going to help me stitch Liam up, so it goes as quick as possible. Alright?" Mrs.Shaw nods and Y/N grabs a suture kit, some lidocaine and some gloves.

"Hi, Liam. My name is Y/N. How are you feeling?" She sits on the stool next to him.

"Owie." Liam cries.

"I know sweetheart, but me and Grayson are going to make you all better, but to do that I need to give you a tiny shot." She squeezes her fingers close together to exaggerate how small the needle is. "But I have a friend to keep you company while it's being done." She pulls a stuffed tiger out of her scrub pocket. "This is Tiggy. He's super strong and really nice, so I want you to hold onto him for me, ok?" Liam nods and cuddles Tiggy. Y/N looks over at Grayson and nods to say she's ready. Grayson nods back so she turns to Liam. "Alright bud, two tiny pinches. Right- now."

They both inject the numbing medication and Liam barely notices.

"Alright. Now we are going to fix you up bud." Grayson says as he puts the syringe down on the table. Y/N does the same and grabs her suture kit.

"Liam, you're doing really good sweetie, I'm proud of you. I'd be crying like a baby if I had an owie like this." Y/N says to the small boy. Liam smiles at her and cuddles into his mom.

Once they finish getting Liam fixed up both doctors walk the mother and son to check out, where the treasure box is.

Y/N takes Liam over to it while Grayson talks with the receptionist and Mrs. Shaw about getting his stitches out. She squats down to his level and opens the treasure box.

"Tell you what, since you are the toughest boy I've ever met, you can get two treasures." Liam's smile shines when she tells him that. "It'll be our secret, ok?" Liam nods and pick out a stuffed tiger, just like Tiggy and a coloring book.

"Thank you." Liam gives her a hug and Y/N beams.

"You're welcome. I'll see you when you come back ok?" Liam nods and they all say goodbye, but Liam turns back.

"Bye Tiggy!" Liam waves.

Once they get back to the Doctors Station Grayson leans on the counter and watches Y/N do paperwork.

"So, as a thank you for your help, would you like to go out for dinner tonight?" Grayson asks. Y/N looks up and smiles.

"Sure, here's my address." She says as she writes on a sticky note and hands it to him. "I've got to go examine some babies at the hospital, so I'll see you tonight." She grabs her stuff and walks over to him. She presses a kiss to his cheek. "Bye Doctor Dolan."

"Bye Doctor Y/L/N."

§§§

After Y/N finished seeing all of the newborn babies that are now her patients, she went home to get ready.

It was seven thirty when her doorbell went off. She grabbed her bag and walked to the door to answer it, and she was greeted by a handsome man with beautiful flowers.

"Grayson, these flowers are beautiful." Y/N smiles to him and takes them from him so she can put them in a vase. She gestures for him to follow and he shuts the door behind him.

He takes a look around her house. It looks exactly like he'd pictured it. Clean, cozy and warm. It also smelled like her, which he loved, because she smells amazing.

"So, where are we going?" Y/N asks, pulling him out of his trance.

"It's a surprise." Grayson replies, mischievous smile etched onto his face.

"There better not be a clown." Y/N warns and points at him.

She'd told him about her fear of clowns, and Grayson was known for his little pranks, so she was somewhat scared about the surprise.

"I promise there are no clowns." Grayson chuckles.

§§§

Grayson had booked a rooftop table at a very popular Italian restaurant. He knew Italian was Y/N's favorite food because she always talked about how much she loved it. She ordered Carbonara, and Grayson ordered Tortellini, along with wine.

They spent the entire time talking to each other and admiring the view. No phones, nothing to distract them. They talked about their childhoods, things they liked and did not like and their experiences with college and medical school.

"How'd you know you wanted to be a Pediatrician?" Grayson asks as he refills their wine glasses.

"I've always loved kids, babysat my family's babies and neighbors kids all of the time, but I also really admired doctors and what they do. I figured I could just combine the two." Y/N answers. Grayson could've sworn he saw a twinkle in her eye while talking. "How about you Doctor Dolan? Why'd you become a Pediatrician?"

"I actually started out in med school thinking I was going to be a plastic surgeon, but on my first peds rotation I fell in love with it. I mean what's better than being around adorable babies all day?"

"True." Y/N laughs. "So plastic surgery? You wanted to do nose jobs?"

"Yeah, I always thought it was cool that you could help someone be confident with their body, but peds grabbed me by the ankle and didn't let go."

§§§

After dinner Grayson took Y/N for ice cream, then back to her house and walked her to the door.

"Thank you for taking me out for dinner Grayson. I had a really good time." Y/N says.

"You're welcome, and me too." Grayson smiles. He starts getting lost in his own world by looking at her, but realizes something. "I never told you how beautiful you look tonight.- I mean not just tonight-."

Y/N blushes and looks down at her feet while she smiles.

"It's ok, I get it." She chuckles. "Thank you, and you look quite handsome as well."

Grayson smiles and looks at his watch quickly. "Shit, it's already close to one. I should let you go to bed."

"Yeah, you don't have to be in until eleven. I have to go in at seven." Y/N giggles.

"Well, to make it up to you I'll bring you coffee." Grayson offers. Y/N smiles and nods. "I'll see you at eleven sharp. Don't miss me too much."

"Shut up, you weirdo." Grayson and Y/N both laugh.

"Ok, seriously. I'm going to go home and you're going to go to bed. I had an amazing time tonight and I'd really like to take you out again."

"Yeah, of course. I'd love to." Y/N replies.

Grayson smiles and leans in. He presses a quick kiss to her cheek and starts walking away.

"Goodnight Doctor Y/L/N!"

"Goodnight Doctor Dolan!"

Black Ice [Connor Rhodes] 🎄

Description: Connor and Y/N meet in the ER on Christmas Eve.

Warnings: Car crash, injury.

A/N: Day 8 of 12 Days of Christmas!

Of course it had to dump snow on Christmas Eve in Chicago. When else would be a convenient time?

Snow causes everyone to drive even worse than normal and there is black ice everywhere.

The Emergency Room had been packed all day with general sickness patients, falls, trauma, literally anything that could get thrown at Chicago Med's staff was getting thrown, plus more.

There had been another accident on the highway and Connor was pulled from Cardio to help out.

His first patient had literally just been wheeled in on the stretcher as he walked in. A woman around his age, all banged up and unconscious, connected to a Cardiac Monitor, showing she is having some Tachycardia.

"Twenty-Eight year old female unconscious, and tachycardic. She was in the accident on the exit ramp." The paramedic says.

They lift her onto the bed and lay her flat. A few nurses join and quickly switch her to their monitors.

"We'll stick this cut on her forehead up and let's get a MRI and CT of her head, make sure she doesn't have any internal injuries. Also order a low dose of Propanol, that should help her heart rate." Connor orders.

"Yes Dr. Rhodes." The nurse replies and walks out of the room.

Connor grabs a suture kit and pulls a stool up beside the woman.

"Alright, lets get this cut stitched up."

§§§

After the dose of Propanol, imaging, and stitching were done, the woman's heart rate went down and it was determined that she didn't have any brain injury and the unconsciousness is most likely just a result of "fight or flight".

Connor kept checking in on her every chance he could.

He didn't know why, but something just pulled his interest to her.

It was around ten thirty in the evening when she finally woke up. The nurses paged him and he made his way down quickly.

He knocks on the door before entering. Maggie is in the room getting the woman a drink.

"Dr. Rhodes, this is Y/N Y/L/N. She is a interior designer here in Chicago." Maggie says.

"Hi Y/N, I'm Dr. Rhodes. I've been taking care of you since your accident earlier this evening. How are you feeling?" Connor asks as he takes a pen light out to check her eyes.

"I'm feeling ok. Just a little sore." Y/N replies.

He puts the light away and sits on the stool near her bed.

"Well, you are doing really good. You just have a cut on your forehead that we stitched up and when you were brought in your heart rate was high. Is that normal for you?"

"Yeah, I was anxious while driving and I worked myself up I guess." She replies quietly.

"It happens to the best of us. I flipped my car into a ditch one winter during college." Connor says, trying to make her feel better about the situation.

She lets out a light chuckle and smiles at him. "Yeah I guess it does."

Internal [Kristain ‘Yatesy’ Yates]

Description: Y/N's health condition gets outed on a hot, busy day at Bondi Beach.

Warnings: Cardiac Arrest

Y/N had been feeling dizzy all day. She had heart problems, really, really bad heart problems. Bad enough to get a internal defibrillator. Most people would probably say being a lifeguard isn't good for someone with cardiac issues, but she still pursued the career.

She's been a lifeguard for Waverly Council for three years. The only person to know about her issues was Hoppo. He had to know because of legal reasons, but everyone else was kept in the dark about that aspect of Y/N's life.

"Bondi Central to Blue Rhino. You've got a young man, twenty meters out." Yatesy says over the radio.

Y/N and Yatesy are great friends, well that's what they like to think. Everyone could tell how in love they are, except them.

Yatesy wanted Y/N to come up to the tower because he noticed how she's been acting but the lifeguards were stretched thin and Bondi was busy.

She'd been going back and forth between first aids and incidents in the water all day, with no time to take a breather, let alone any time to inform anyone about how she was feeling.

"I'm going in Yates. He's not looking good." Y/N replies before setting her radio down and grabbing the board.

"You're not looking good either." Yatesy mumbles to himself.

He watches as Y/N hits the water. She starts paddling to the man, but he notices her grab her chest for a second before continuing to paddle.

Y/N finally gets to the man but when she sits up her eyes roll back into her head, going unconscious. Her body falls forward and smacks against the board. The man she went out to rescue clings to the board and starts waving for more help.

Yatesy starts to panic. Normally he is good at keeping a cool composure, but this is Y/N. The woman he's in love with. He grabs his radio and immediately radios out to every lifeguard, even the ones at Tamarama and Bronte.

"Bondi Central to all Waverly Lifeguards. We have a lifeguard down, get an Ambo here quick!"

Yatesy grabs the defibrillator and the other bag of medical supplies. He throws lifeguard protocol out the door and abandons the tower. Hopping in a ATV and speeding to Y/N. By now other swimmers, and surfers have gone over to Y/N. A surfer had brought the man in and the others were trying to wake her up.

Yatesy hits the water and paddles as fast as he can. All he can think is that he might not get the chance to tell her how he feels. He might not get a chance to actually love her.

He stops right next to her and grabs her arm.

"Y/N?!" She doesn't answer, so he puts two fingers to her carotid artery.

Yatesy swears his heart shattered. The pain in his chest, the feeling in his stomach. It was all too much. The tears start rolling down his face. He grabs her from the board and pulls her onto his.

He races back to shore and sees Hoppo, Jesse and Reidy standing there, waiting for them. Yatesy gets off of the board and Jesse pulls him to the side while Hoppo and Reidy pull Y/N up onto the sand.

"She'll be alright mate." Jesse says as he puts a hand on Yatesy's shoulder.

"She didn't have a pulse." Yatesy whispers.

"She'll be alright." Jesse repeats.

Y/N's internal defibrillator goes off, surprising everyone except Hoppo and now Reidy. Her eyes pop open and her hand goes to her chest.

"Y/N you're alright sweetheart, just breathe." She looks up at Hoppo and Reidy who are leaning over her and then tries to sit up when she hears a sob of relief. Reidy stays behind her to keep her steady as she looks at Yatesy.

"Kristain." She croaks. Yatesy walks over and takes Reidy's place behind her.

"I'm in love with you. I know this probably isn't the best time to tell you, but when I saw you collapse I swear my heart fell apart." Yatesy admits.

"I'm in love with you too. I'm ok. I'm sorry I scared you."

Yatesy wraps his arms around her and presses a kiss to her head. "You don't have to be sorry about anything."

Relocate [Anthony Glick]

Description: Y/N is a NSW Sprint Paramedic, she gets called to Bondi for a dislocated shoulder and is met by a very loopy patient, who is also a lifeguard.

Warnings: Dislocated Shoulder.

Y/N was driving around New South Wales, pretty close to Bondi Beach. It had been extremely hot all day, and she'd been sent to Bronte, Maroubra, and Tamarama multiple times for medical calls, along with others she'd been dispatched to throughout the area. She was surprised she hadn't gone to Bondi yet, but her thoughts halted when the tones dropped.

"NSW Sprint Twelve, Bondi Beach. Twenty-six year old male. Dislocated shoulder." The dispatcher says.

Y/N grabs her radio and keys it up, while simultaneously turning her lights and sirens on.

"NSW Sprint Twelve is clear and en route." She replies.

§§§

Glick had been on the Jet Ski for three hours. He'd pulled in at least a hundred people and was tired, so when he got the all clear from senior lifeguards to beach the ski, he went straight for it.

His right shoulder payed the price.

While beaching the ski, you have to also cut the engine, and while doing that Glick rammed his shoulder into handle.

Jesse, who was in the rhino waiting for Glick so they could pack up the jet ski heard the horrendous pop, and the string of curse words that flew from Glick's mouth. He jumped out and went over to his friend, who was now leaning over.

"You alright?" Jesse asks.

"I think I dislocated my shoulder." Glick groans.

Jesse grabs his radio and keys it up. "Jesse to Central, Glicky just dislocated his shoulder, call an Ambo."

"Alright Jess bring him up and we'll get him the green whistle."

§§§

Y/N parked her SUV and grabbed her bag.

"NSW Sprint Twelve to NSW Dispatch, put me on scene, Bondi Beach." She says unto her radio and locks the SUV before clipping the radio to her pants and walking towards the lifeguard standing at the stairs waiting for her.

"Y/N, nice to see you again." Jake says.

"Nice to see you too, so how'd our patient dislocate his shoulder?" She asks.

"Oh you'll never believe this. I'll let you find out for yourself." Jake smirks.

They walk into the tower and out onto the overlook to see Glick sitting in a chair with the green whistle in his mouth.

"Ah! One of our favorites! Look Glicky, the shoulder specialist is here!" Jesse says.

"Anthony, what did you do?" Y/N asks as she bends down to examine his shoulder.

"He was beaching the ski." Jake responds, faster than Glick could even process what she'd asked.

"I hit the handle bars and it just made this horrible sound and started to hurt." Y/N nods and feels his shoulder a bit more.

"Alright, how bad is your pain?"

"Like a seven."

"You think you can handle a relocation with just the green whistle or do you want some morphine?"

"I vote morphine." Jesse says. Jake nods in agreement.

"Morphine." Glick responds.

"Just keep breathing in the green whistle, and once your IV is in and working we'll start."

She puts a tourniquet on his bicep and cleans the area before grabbing a kit and morphine. She draws up the morphine and sets it aside. She gets the IV in and administers the morphine, which starts working quickly. She grabs Glick's hand in hers and starts feeling his shoulder again, trying to make the muscles relax, and also figuring out which way would work the best to get it back in. His muscles are tense.

"Anthony I need you to relax your muscles. That's the only way this is going to work." Y/N says as she rubs his arm.

"I can't relax, I'm nervous." Glick slurs.

"Why are you nervous, Glicky?" Jake asks.

"Because there is a beautiful paramedic touching my arm." The boys and the crew filming a Bondi Rescue laugh. Glick didn't even realize what he said. The comment also made Y/N's cheek turn a bit red.

"Just look at Jess then." Glick looks over at Jesse and then gives Jake a weird look for his comment.

"I know she's still there." Glick says.

"Would you be more comfortable laying down?" Y/N asks. Glick nods. "Could you guys get your bed flat for me?" Jake goes off to get the bed ready and Jesse carries her stuff into the tower while Y/N walks with Glick.

He lays down on the bed and Y/N feels his muscles relax. Now that she can attempt to relocate Glick's shoulder, she decides to use Kocher's Method. She bends his arm at the elbow and rests it against his side. She grabs his hand an starts to externally rotate it. Once she feels resistance she lifts his arm into the sagittal plane, then internally rotates it towards his other side.

Glick's shoulder pops back in, just as loud as it popped out. All of his pain goes away and he sobers up. Y/N rests his hand on his other shoulder and makes sure he doesn't move it for a few seconds.

"Damn you're good." Glick says. Everyone in the tower chuckles.

"How's your pain now?"

"Zero." Y/N smiles and makes him a sling for his trip to the hospital.

"So Glicky does Y/N still make you nervous?" Jesse asks. Glick's face turns red and his expression makes Jake and Jesse laugh.

"What?"

"You were nervous and couldn't relax because there was a beautiful paramedic touching your arm." Jesse chuckles, Jake does as well.

Glick groans and Y/N laughs as she gets a sling made for him. She puts his arm in the fabric and then ties it behind his neck so he doesn't have to keep it there himself.

"So are you guys going to exchange numbers or something?" Jake pushes.

Glick's face turns as red as a fire truck and Y/N just laughs.

§§§

Once the other paramedics arrive to take Glick to the hospital, Y/N walks him to the ambulance.

"Thank you for fixing my shoulder." Glick says.

"Yeah, no problem. Be careful beaching that jet ski next time." Y/N jokes. Glick smiles and nods. "Well, I'm sure I'll see you soon. Bye Anthony." She squeezes his hand and slips a paper in it at the same time.

"Bye Y/N."

She closes the door once the paramedic jumps in the back and then wake back to her SUV.

Glick opens his hand and looks at the paper.

(01) 2345 6789 - Y/N :)

Surfing Baby [Dean ‘Deano’ Gladstone

Description: Dean and Y/N take their son surfing for the first time.

Warnings: None!

A/N: This is dedicated to @tinysangel I finally got around to writing for Deano!

"I’ve got it sweetheart!" Dean yells back down.

He finishes packing up the bag and goes back downstairs where Y/N and Jack are in the kitchen. Y/N is packing food and drinks for later while Jack munches on some fruit. Deano puts the bag down on a chair and goes up to his son.

"Alright, you ready to get cleaned up so we can go to the beach?" He asks Jack.

"Yes daddy! Can we go see Uncle Harries?" Jack asks as he gets down from the stool and goes over to the sink to wash his hands.

"Yeah, I’m sure Uncle Harries would love to see his little Jackie." Y/N replies as she finishes putting the rest of their drinks in the cooler.

"Ok, let’s finish cleaning up and then we will get in the car."

§§§

After going to see Harries, Maxi, Whippet, Yatesy and Kerrbox, Jack and Deano were finally getting in the water.

"Alright bud, you’re going to get in front of daddy and I’ll show you what do before you try, ok?" Jack nods and continues to help, or at least try to, paddle out.

Deano wasn’t taking him out too far, knowing Y/N would be upset if he did, but he did take him past where the other kids would stop.

"Now we’ve got to watch for a wave, and make sure we don’t get in the head by a surprise one." Deano explained. After a few minutes of waiting, a wave finally popped up. "Start paddling Jack!"

They start paddling and get to where they can stand up. Deano stands up and pulls Jack up with him. He holds on to Jacks wetsuit and helps him stay steady while they ride the wave in.

While they were out in the water, Y/N was recording them. She wanted to be able to show Jack the first time he ever surfed when he grew up, so she made sure it was a decent video. She cheered for Jack when they got up and she was sure you’d be able to hear her proud screams in the video.

"Mommy! Mommy! I did it! Did you see?" Jack ran out of the water and to his mom. Y/N squatted down to his level and opened her arms.

"Yes baby! I saw! I’m so, so proud of you!" She presses kisses all over Jacks face and he giggles and squirms.

"I want to go again!"

§§§

After another two hours of surfing the beach was starting to empty out, so Maxi decided he wanted to take Jack out for a bit, which Deano and Y/N quickly agreed to, knowing that they could trust Maxi and that they could take a break.

"Look at him, he’s such a little pro!" Deano exclaimed from his spot on the sand beside Y/N.

"Isn’t he? Just like his father." Y/N smiles at her husband and Deano presses a quick kiss to her lips.

"I love him, and you. Life is perfect." Deano sighs.

"I love you both too, but I think I know how to make life a bit more perfect." Y/N says. She looks at their intertwined hands and back up to Deano's curious eyes.

"How?"

"Adding to the family?" Y/N smiles.

"You, you’re pregnant?!" Deano exclaims happily.

"Yeah! I found out yesterday!" Y/N cries.

Deano pulls her into a tight hug, kissing her forehead.

"I love you so much." He whispers. "I can’t believe we’re going to have another baby!"

"We’re going to have another surfing baby."

Medic [Josh ‘Burkey’ Burke]

Description: Australian Army Medic, Lieutenant Y/N Y/L/N, arrives home from her deployment early and learns that her ex-boyfriend, Josh, is still in love with her, even after two years of being away.

A/N: I do not know how the Army in Australia is ran, so this may not be correct.

Y/N stepped out of the airport and into the Australian heat. It was quite similar to the weather in Iraq.

She looked around and smiled. Two whole years away from this beautiful place. She didn't know how she survived that long away from home.

Australian Army Lieutenant Y/N Y/L/N is a medic, and just arrived back home from a twenty-four month deployment to Iraq where she worked at the base in the hospital. She'd treat soldiers most of time, but had civilians quite often.

She liked what she did, but she missed Australia. She missed her family, and friends. She missed Josh.

Josh is Y/N's ex boyfriend. They didn't break up because of something bad. They broke up because Y/N didn't want Josh to wait for her. She didn't want him to worry about her making it back. She wanted him to be free and live his life.

Y/N had told Josh "If we're meant to be together, we will find our way back to each other." She still loves him, but doesn't want to overstep if he is in a relationship.

Josh has spent the last two years working. He'd just recently got a job at Bondi Beach as a trainee and he loved it. He had became friends with all of the other lifeguards but he was still lonely, and he knew why. He missed Y/N. Y/N and Josh started dating when they were sixteen and broke up five years later at the age of twenty-one.

The day Y/N told him she was training to become a medic for the army was one of the best and worst days of his life. He was ecstatic for Y/N, but he also knew the risk of deployment. He didn't want to get a phone call one day to hear she had been killed. He wanted her to be safe, with him and not thousands of miles away. He'd never told her that. He let her break up with him and leave, without ever knowing if they'd see each other again.

Y/N had made it to her apartment and dropped her bags off. She had people to see.

First on her list was Josh's mom, who had also become Y/N's mom since her parents weren't around.

She made it to the Burke household and smiled. Everything was the same. Beautiful flowers, birds and the beach.

Mrs. Burke was walking around her house when she saw a familiar woman standing at the end of her sidewalk in military uniform. She gasped, ran to the door and threw it open.

"Y/N! Sweetheart you're home!" She exclaims and pulls the medic into a bone crushing hug.

"I'm home mom." Y/N smiles.

"I thought you had a few more months left." Mrs. Burke wipes the tears from her eyes and checks Y/N over. She looks the same, except her hair is different and the uniform almost makes her unrecognizable.

"I did, but they offered me a job at the new Military Hospital they're building. It's permanent." Y/N smiles.

"That's great honey! God, I'm so proud of you! How are you? Are you hungry?" She asks Y/N multiple questions and Y/N just laughs and shakes her head.

"I'm alright. I actually have a few questions though."

"Of course. Go ahead." Y/N looks down to the ground and takes a deep breath.

"How's Josh?" Mrs. Burke's eyes light up.

"Josh is good. He really misses you and talks about you all the time. He’s still in love with you."

"The feelings are mutual."

"Well, I know for a fact he's been single since you left, so if you want to go see him he's at Bondi Beach. He's a trainee lifeguard."

"Really?! He's always wanted to follow in his fathers footsteps."

"Yes sweetheart! You should go down there, his break starts soon!"

§§§

Y/N made it to Bondi and just soaked in the view. It was picture perfect. Sunny, clear water, and decent waves. It was absolutely beautiful. She looks over at the tower and decides to go there to find Josh.

She's met most of the lifeguards since she and Josh came to Bondi all of the time, she just hoped they remembered her.

Y/N walks along the promenade to the door and knocks when she arrives. She waits a few seconds and then it opens. She's greeted with the confused face of Hoppo.

"Hi, you may not remember me-."

"Y/N? Is that you?!" Hoppo exclaims. Y/N nods and Hoppo bear hugs her. "You've grown so much, and you look different since the last time I saw you." Hoppo says.

"Yeah, so I've been told." She laughs.

"Well, what can I do for you?" Hoppo leads her into the empty tower.

"Well, I've been told Josh Burke is your trainee, and I'd like to surprise him." Y/N says. Hoppo nods.

"Did you just get back today?" He gestures to her uniform.

"Yeah. I was supposed to have a few more months, but I got hired at the new Military Hospital."

"Good for you!" Hoppo smiles. "I can get Josh up here for you. Just give me one second." Y/N nods and Hoppo grabs the radio.

§§§

Josh was with Harrison patrolling the flags and they were due for their break any minute now. The two lifeguards were talking about going surfing when a voice came through their radios.

"Bondi Central to Black Rhino. Come up to the tower boys."

Josh grabs his radio and replies. "On our way."

Harrison drives up to the tower and parks the Rhino by the stairs. They continue their conversation while walking up the stairs, both failing to notice the woman in uniform.

"Burkey, Hutz! Aren't you going to say hello?" Deano, who'd recently gotten back from his break asks as he points his phone at the boys, recording them. They stop and look.

"Hello-." Josh cuts himself off when he realizes who the woman is. "Y/N!" Josh shoves Harrison out of his way and sprints up the stairs. He makes it to Y/N and picks her up in a hug. "You're back?!" Josh lets her lean back.

"I'm back!" Y/N replies with a big smile and teary eyes. Josh digs his face into her shoulder as he lets tears fall.

"I love you so much. Please don't leave again. Please don't leave me again."

"As long as you want me, I will never leave again." Y/N says.

"I’ll always want you." Josh replies and kisses the top of her head. "Don’t ever doubt that."
