    Summary

    He hears a noise. Turns his head, instinctively, towards it. Hears it again, recognizes it for what it is. A whimper. Realizes what woke him. Robby. It was Robby. Judging by the noise and the expression on his face, he’s having a nightmare. Wishes it was the first time this has happened, that he’s been woken up in the middle of the night by Robby having a bad dream. It isn’t. Not even close.

    Summary

    Jack’s new neighbour is driving him crazy.

    She plays her music too loud, thinks seven thirty is an appropriate time to do yoga, and is overtaking the whole roof with her plants.

    If he was less in love with her, he’d tell her as much.

    Summary

    Robby has spent his whole career telling families to step out, wait, and let the doctors work.

    Then his daughter comes through the doors after the Pittfest shooting, critically injured and fighting for her life, and suddenly every word he’s ever said from the other side of the trauma bay sounds different.

    Or: Robby is good at being a doctor. Being a father is harder.
