Chapter Text
If someone had told you that you would be in 2 relationships with men who are too old for you, you would not have believed them, but here we are. It all started on the 25th of September 2025, when you were still a fresh med student from Austria. You were 26 years old and had the privilege of moving to Pittsburgh, America, which seemed like a place no one knew, but it was a hidden gem in your opinion. You parked your Škoda Octavia outside the hospital and walked inside. You were one of the new med students that came in on that day, along with Trinity Santos, who was an intern and the med students Victoria Jevadi and..Dennis Whitaker…You had a feeling you knew that na- shit that’s your old online friend that you lost contact with.
“omg hii, I just noticed you, but I can't help but feel like you look familiar, are you Whitaker?, do you maybe remember the name Tamara Miranda?…or maybe Tamy?”
You could immediately see Whitaker’s eyes practically glisten as he seemed to be happier about all of this.
“Omg Tamy! Of course, I remember, yeah-wow I didn’t expect this-I wow-omg. Wait, did you move here? I thought you lived in Austria?”
Whitaker seemed confused.
“Yeah, past tense, I moved here shortly to continue being a doctor, I guess I knew from a small age that Austria didn’t hold my future”
You meeped, seeming nervous, mainly because of your first work day as a doctor, but now also because you met your old childhood friend.
You, 3 and another woman and a man walked to the exit. You read their badges earlier as they were talking, and it seemed they were Dr McKay and Dr Langdon. As we soon came, we were led to an older-looking man, 50-ish? and a young woman, a med student?
As you all walked, Robby seemed to come forward as he waited for a form of conversation. Soon, your attention wavered to the blonde girl standing beside him.
”Hi, you can call me Mel, I'm super excited to be here!”
You thought to yourself that she was an absolute ray of sunshine and a cutie. Soon, the older man started talking again.
“Dr Michael Robinavitch, and welcome to the Pitt!”
Everyone introduced themselves.
“Tamara Miranda, SFU.”
Robby looked at you, confused a bit.
”Austrian University…Nice to meet you all, I’m also really excited to be here!”
Robby nodded as an older woman stepped up. You guessed her to be around mid to late 40’s, but you could’ve also been entirely wrong
”This here is Dr Dana Evans, she’s like the whole leader around here, practically our ring leader of this circus called “The Pitt”. She is the most important person that you will meet here, do what she says when she says it”
You nodded as did the other med students and the intern, your gaze turned to another doctor there, who was apparently already staring at you…um, staring problem much? But you thought you could accept it since you're new, right? Unfamiliar face, he looked 50 but seemed true and nice, even though he might not be the best at presenting it. Robby noticed, but before he could say anything, the other one spoke.
”The ER is the gift that keeps on giving”
“That’s Dr Jack Abbot, don’t let him do anything stupid”
At that point, Abbot looked offended, which made you chuckle a bit. My attention wavered elsewhere to where 2 woman seemed to be gossiping while looking at one of the doctors—Langdon? You read his badge earlier, and you seemed to remember the name; either way, as you studied them, you noticed that they seemed to be speaking a different language.
”Kailan kaya gagawa ng isang bagay ang lalaking iyon sa halip na hayaan ang lahat na gumawa ng isang bagay sa kanilang paligid?”
When will that man finally do something as well, instead of letting everyone do something around them? (Perlah)
“Diyos, alam ko tama.”
God, I know right. (Princess)
Maybe Tagalog?
2 hours later, you finally had your break, or so you thought, but not long after, you heard Dennis yelling for help. You walked to him. When you walked in, you noticed him covered in some white liquid, which you couldn’t help but laugh at.
”Jesus, what happened to you? You look like you had some fun, huh?”
You laughed at Whitaker liking the perverted joke that you made, which seemed to piss Whitaker off.
”It’s nice to hear that you find it funny. Can you help me now?”
” How?”
” Can you get me new scrubs?”
He said that as he handed you his badge, you could unlock the box where you could get his new scrubs.
”okayy”
You went to get Dennis some new scrubs. As you walked back, you noticed Robby staring at you from the top of his computer. You didn’t think too much of it since you just met him, then from the break room, Jack Abbot…man, what's up with the stares, is something on my face?..ugh, whatever.
You helped Dennis, and soon you went to help Robby, who called out to you.
As you walked down the hallway, you noticed Dr Abbot helping a patient. As he noticed you outside, he gave you a small smile which was new, either way you smiled back since you didnt wanna seem like a bitch on your first day. As you got closer, you heard the kid's cries getting closer, and he stepped out of the room to help you get into the right room. When you walked in, you saw a kid, maybe a bit older than 6? He was stitched up on his arm and god that looked like a nasty scar, but what caught your attention most was that the kid was non-stop crying, which was kinda annoying to be honest.
"What do you need, Robby?...uh, can I call you that?"
"Oh yeah, no problem, kiddo, but I need your help with this kid, he's all stitched up from Dr Javadi and Dr McKay, but he can't seem to stop crying, and I wanted to see if you could maybe figure out why he's crying so much?"
"Oh God, I never was never good around kids, uhm, the spot is numbed right?"
Robby nodded at your question, and so did you, just slower, as in "ahhh okay " form, but you really didn't know what the fuck the kids' problem was. You walked up to him and knelt.
"Hey kid, what's up, hm? What's your name? Everything's okay, no need to cry, your mom's here, you're in a safe place, and you're all better, here..."
You handed him a sweet, and he started giggling.
Oh shit, the kid actually stopped crying, Robby seemed amused and he smirked at you like he was proud...why that knocked a blush out of you...You don't even wanna know, of course you thought he was pretty, but please, he was in his 50s. Either way, feelings aside, the kid stopped crying. The mum thanked us, and they all left. Dr Javardi and Dr McKay walked off, and Robby turned to face you, the smirk still on his face.
"Nice job, Caretaker"
"Nice job, what?" You thought to yourself
"Caretaker?"
"Don't like it?", Robby asked sheepishly
"No its fine, sure"
Robby walked off after you said that, and he tapped your shoulder with his whole hand as he walked off, and Whitaker trotted behind you.
"Caretaker? Really?"
"What is it bad?" You asked unknowingly
"No, I'm just confused as to why.."
"Oh, I just miraculously stopped a kid from non-stop crying" You smiled proudly as you said that.
"Oohh okay Tamara Mama"
You gave him a wide-eyed look at the nickname.
"Oh God, please no"
"What Robby can call you, Caretaker, and I can't call you Tamara Mama?"
"No you cant...youll never live this down huh."
Whitaker smirked and nodded, you placed your head in your hands and walked off, shaking your head as you heard Whitaker laughed.
Just new beginnings right?…
