Pairing: Jack Abbot X fem!resident!Reader
Warnings: Established relationship, crying, Robby making a slightly rude comment and kissing.
Robby's words echoed in your mind after you'd presented a patients case to him that you'd spent more time on than you should, "I appreciate how far you're willing to go to make your patients comfortable but some people can't wait for your attention. Try to be quicker in the future." he had said, his words hitting you harder than you expected. You knew he probably wasn't trying to be mean but nevertheless, his words pierced your heart. You felt incredibly guilty, maybe he was right. Maybe you were spending too much time with your patients. The sound of baby Jane Doe's crying suddenly caught your attention, pulling you out of your thoughts, your hands still resting on the edge of her crib.
You softly frowned at her and scooped her up into your arms, soon noticing that you were crying too. "It's okay, you're alright." you quietly said to her, gently bouncing her. Eventually, her tears stopped but yours continued, you just couldn't get over how much Robby's words had hurt you. "Looks like we've both got something to cry about." you whispered and she cooed at you, making a faint smile appear on your lips. Your head snapped up at the sight of the door to pedes opening from the corner of your eye to see Jack standing there with a worried look in his eyes. He crossed the room to you in a few strides, "Dana said I'd find you here. What happened, sweetheart?" he asked, his hand coming up to cup your face and wipe your tears away. You shook your head, "It's nothing, it's stupid. Don't worry about it." you answered and he furrowed his eyebrows, taking the baby from you and placing her back in her crib.
"Not to me, I hate seeing my girl upset. Tell me what happened, please?" he replied and your shoulders relaxed, already wanting to collapse in his arms. "Robby said that I spend too much time with my patients. I know he probably didn't mean to come off as rude but I got myself worked up over it anyway." you explained. Jack wrapped his arms around you and pulled you closer, "Baby, I love how dedicated you are to making your patients comfortable and less scared. Never feel bad for that, even if Robby doesn't like it. Okay?" he replied and you nodded against him. A few minutes later, he slowly separated from you, wiped the last of your tears away and pressed a kiss to your forehead then your lips, making you smile. "There she is." he said and your smile became brighter. You pressed a quick kiss to his cheek, "Thanks for always being there for me, Jackie. I love you." you said and he smiled back, his thumb stroking your cheek. "I love you more, sweet girl. I'll always be here." he replied.
