Title: My Blood Brother
Rating: T for language that will undoubtedly come up.
Characters: JD/Cox friendship
Summary: Cox needed a blood transfusion and JD was more than glad to help. Cox is not happy, and of course JD has been chosen to watch over Cox at his apartment for the weekend. Good times ahead.
"For God's sake, Jordan, why didn't you just let me die." Cox let his head fall back on the pillow.
She shrugged. "Well, I was considering it, but then I thought if you died JD might try to be the father figure for Jack and Jennifer and then I'd have to kill him, which means I would go to jail and my sister would probably get custody and everyone's life would be screwed up all because I let you die. So, I let them go ahead with the transfusion."
He groaned. "But they gave me Newbies blood! I have Maria's blood running through my veins at this very moment." He shivered. "I feel so dirty and it's on the inside. Damn it Jordan I can't wash it off!"
"Oh relax, it's just a little of his blood." She took his hand in hers. "It's not like his blood is going to take over yours and you're going to become his clone or something."
Squeezing his eyes shut he held up a hand to silence. "Do not even joke about that, puh-lease!"
"Hey there, BB!" JD walked into the room with a broad smile on his face.
He raised an eyebrow. "BB?"
"Blood Brother," The young doctor responded as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "Isn't this great! I mean we're closer than ever now!"
An annoyed whimper floated out of Cox and he glared at Jordan. "You should have let me die."
She patted his hand and nodded. "Yeah, you're probably right."
JD waved them off. "You guys are such jokesters."
"Newbie, I'm hoping you came here for something because if not, and you're just going to rub it in my face that I now have your girly blood running through my veins, well I will hurt you. Even if my fighting has resorted to hair pulling and scratching," He held his hands up with the tips of his fingers curled. "I will take these nails, drive them through your skin, and rip your heart out with them."
JD was looking off and Cox just sighed as he realized the kid probably missed most of his speech. Great, just great. He whistled to get JD's attention back.
"Oh, um I came here to tell you that the wound is healing nicely and there's no infection, so you can go home tomorrow." He smiled, knowing that Cox may act like he wasn't grateful on the outside, but on the inside his mentor was all warm and fuzzy with gratitude.
"That bit of good news probably just saved your life." Cox was used to being a doctor, not a patient and he was anxious to get out of here. Many of the interns and staff had sneaked a peak looking at him as though he were a dragon in a cage. He was ready to be home and out of the spotlight. "Leave Rachel, before I sick Jordan on you."
"Perry, Perry, Perry," JD said putting his hands on his hips. "You know I can't stay. I have other patients that need me too, but don't worry. I took the whole weekend off so we can take care of you this weekend BB."
Cox was about to tear him a new one, but JD flew out of the room before a word left his mouth.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, na-ho." He balled his hands into fists. "I am not spending the weekend with Cecilia. It's just not happening."
Jordan sucked in air through her teeth. "Well, see you kind of are. I have that conference in Vegas. My mom is going to watch the kids, but you're not well enough to stay home by yourself yet."
"So you, the she devil, are going to go to Vegas, gamble, drink, probably sleep with someone to keep from going to jail at one point, and you won't have the kids." He pointed to himself. "While, I am stuck not only with Hailey's blood running through my veins, but also with her roaming around my apartment for the next two days."
She nodded. "Yup that sounds about right."
"Jordan, I am begging you, take me with you." He grasped her hand pulling it to his chest. "I'll sleep in a closet while you bang the head of hotel security. I will eat in the bathroom and make sure no one knows that I am with you. Just do not leave me alone for forty eight hours with Megan."
"Yeah let me think about that for a minute," She tilted her head pensively. "No." He groaned and released her hand. "Come on, Perry this is best and you know it. If you go to Vegas and something happens than I have to take you to a hospital where you don't know any of the doctors. At least if DJ crashes for the weekend and something does happen you know you'll be okay." She held in a laugh. "Granted you may come out of this wearing a skirt."
"Ahh, Jordan!" He grimaced. Spending the weekend with Newbie was not on his to-do list now or ever.
"Oh, and DJ will be taking you home tomorrow since my flight is at six a.m." Standing up she gave him a peck on the lips. "See you Monday Perry." She rushed out of the room.
"Jordan don't do this to me! Jordan!" He called after her but to no avail. She was gone and he was stuck. A shiver ran through his body. A whole weekend with Newbie. One of two things would happen in that time. He would kill himself or he would kill JD. Only time would tell which it would be.
Cox rested his head on the pillow and rubbed his face. He'd kill the drunk driver that hit him if he weren't already dead. A piece of glass had nicked the artery in his leg. It was just his luck that they were low on his type of blood in the hospital. He realized it was more than luck. He had to be cursed for Newbie to have the same type of blood.
They had to go into repair the artery, so his thigh was wrapped in gauze. He had a gash on his head and a concussion, but other than that it was mostly bumps and bruises. He didn't need a damn babysitter, but as cruel as Jordan was she wasn't going to let Perry sit home by himself. He groaned again. She should have let him die. It would have been more merciful.
AN: So, I'll have Chapter 2 up shortly. I'm also working on a short story for a contest, so I'll be going back and forth. Please Review!
