youâve been up since 5 am getting ready to be an easter bunny for kids in hospitals. you loved helping them feel a little special so you volunteered to do just that.
you found out yesterday that youâd been assigned to Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center, where your neighbor Jack, worked. You didnât think to tell him that youâd be going since you knew he worked the nightshift. so you didnt even think twice when you dressed up as a bunny.
bunny ears, white satin dress with a bow in the back, white tights, white fingerless gloves, and black platform pumps with a white bow on top of the toe. you did your makeup, packed the easter baskets and sweets you baked the night prior, all ready for the kids.
you hopped in your car and began to drive to PTMC. of course you got certain stares at red lights, but itâs for the kids so who cares? you definitely donât. (not at this moment at least..)
you found a lady at the front desk who gave you a âVolunteerâ badge. and pointed you in the direction of the pediatric wing.
you pushed a shopping cart filled to the brim with baskets.you even brought baskets for newborns and babies in the NICU.
the first kid you were visiting today was a four year old, sam matthews, who had been diagnosed with pneumonia, and had to stay hospitalized due to his condition.
âhi sam!â you said warmly with a big smile on your face. âiâm sweetie! and i have a gift basket just for you, from the easter bunny!â
âhuh?â he said groggily. âhm, you mustnât be feeling to good.. no worries, sam, i have some activities we can do to help you feel better.â you say placing the basket the basket on the table on his bed. his eyes literally lit up at the sight of the basket, your heart did a little jump at seeing him instantly feel better.
while you let sam rummage through the basket you gave his mom a gift card to a spa to deal with her stress you knew would be plaguing her body later on. you sat with sam, playing with him, painting eggs together, taking photos while letting his mom rest.
âsam, I donât know if you have any food allergies so i kinda went overboard, hereâs some cookies, cinnamon rolls, and some brookies! now make sure you share with your mom okay?â he shook his head with a big smile, one that wasnât any where to be found before you got there.
she found you after you finished with sam, and thanked in you for making him feel normal again, confiding in you about how hard itâs been dealing with his sickness while being a single mom, and blaming herself for not catching it earlier, giving her a hug before making your way to the next batch of kids.
you could now put interim therapist on your volunteer resumé.
you knocked on the door of the next kids. six year olds gianna and bianca, twins both born with two different types of heart defects. gianna was born with cyanotic defects meaning her oxygen would be low and bianca was born with obstructive lesions.
âhi there girls!â you walked in the room as if a visible ray of sun were behind you. âyou girls doing okay?â they shook their head ânoâ. âiâm sorry to hear that ladies. but no fear! the easter hubby sent me here to help you girls get a pep back in your step!â
theyâre faces contorted with confusion watching you leave the room, but when they saw you come back, theyâre faces looked like light itself was transported through them. âi hope you girls enjoy them!â you say before grabbing the activities you planned to do with them.
this time you opted for decorating baskets, jewelry making, diy pom pom chicks, and painting more eggs.
âoh those baskets are just adorable! you both did amazing, ladies!â you complimented. âyours is really pretty, miss sweetie!â said bianca. âyeah! itâs really nice!â gianna grinned. âthanks girls, i hope you had fun with me today, i know i did. iâll let you girls get some rest now.â you smiled softly and rubbed one of their hands. you gave each of the girls a hug before moving onto their parents.
before leaving you gave the parents an invitation for a fancy restaurant the family could go to later, with a comped meal, and free deserts.
âi hope you guys enjoy your time there. the staff are really nice and extremely helpful, so please have a good time.â their parents began to tear up, and hugged you before giving you a goodbye.
âhave good day everyone!â you smiled and waved off.

12:00 rolls around youâve now seen all the 10 kids you were assigned. each one with a different prognosis and diagnosis than the last.
you colored in a sketch book while playing music with some, and talking about their own interests with others. seeing the looks on their faces abd being with them is what always got you to come back another holiday.
just being able to help a child or a parent feel less lonely or sad was enough.
you made some extra baskets and goodies for the nurses and doctors. so you handed some out around the hospital. somehow finding yourself at the ER. you pushed your cart into the waiting room and walked up to the front desk lady.
âhi there! Iâm a volunteer and Iâm giving out baskets and goodies!â you beamed brightly.
âhello, sweetheart!â she reciprocated the smile.
âwould you like a gift basket and some sweets?â
âyouâre so nice!â she buzzed you through and you let her, as well as her colleague pick out whatever they wanted. âdo you mind if i hand some out to the nurses and doctors, back there?â
âof course! just be careful back there you never know whatâs gonna happen back there. you can put the shopping cart in the lounge, iâll show you where câmon.â
The shorter lady led you through the ER, to the staff lounge. âyou can put it⊠right there!â
âthank you!..â you paused to read her name tag. âlupe!â she nodded with a smile and began to walk off. you began to take the rest of the baskets and snacks out the cart and set them up on the table, then, it opened. you turned around to see a doctor, with fantastic hair?
âoh! hello!â you said softly. âuh.. hello?â he says awkwardly. âwhat are you doing exactly?â he asked confused. âsetting up easter baskets and snacks?â you replied because the answer seemed pretty visible to him. âwhatâs your name?â you asked, continuing to set up.
âdr.langdon, uhmâ frank langdon.â he said grabbing a water then taking a seat. âwell, itâs nice to meet you doctor frank langdon.â you grab a basket, cookies, brownies, and cinnamon rolls, then passed it his way. âeveryone calls me sweetie!â
ânice to meet you sweetie. you definitely live up to your name.â he grins. âaww, thank you!â frank looked out the door then he asked you to make sure that no one took the snacks you gave him, before leaving the room.
you soon left the break room as well, to find the charge nurse so the nurses and doctors would know thereâs stuff waiting for them inside. you looked around to find the nurses station, realizing someone that was sitting down.
âdoctor j? what are you doing here?â
a wide eyed victoria turn to look at you, âsweetie!? what are you doing here?â she eyed you up and down a shocked smile lingered on her face. you looked down at your whole âbunnyâ get up and hit your hands against your thighs. âokay, okay, I can explain. im currently volunteering to bring easter joy to sick kids in this hospital.â you could already hear her snickering.
âokay. stop! im helping sick kids, you canât laugh at that or iâll post absolute bullshit about you on tiktok.â
âyouâre not funny.â
âneither are you, j.â you gave her a toothy smiled. âi need to find the nurse in charge here, point me in the direction?â she stood up to help you. âsure.â
âdana! you have a visitor!â victoria cheered. âyeah?â she looked up from the computer to see you both standing infront of her grinning like twins. âhii!â you coo softly. âhi there, whatâs your name?â
âoh! you can just call me sweetie!â
âwell, itâs nice to meet you sweetie, whatâd ya need from me?â
âi was volunteering today, and i set up an easter baskets and sweets for all the doctors and nurses in the break room and wanted to let you know!â you said very excitedly.
âthat was very nice of you miss sweetie.â dana said with a small smile. âthank you, dana!â
âcan i get everyoneâs attention for a second? miss sweetie here made easter baskets and snacks for us in the break room, so be aware when you go in there.â dana shouted.
âit may or may not look like the easter bunny threw up in there!â you smiled whilst shouting.
you offered to help out dana by taking some papers up to the ICU, since she told you itâd take forever on its own. you got back down and leaned against the nurses station. she looked over in your direction watching you look over and over again for someone.
âlooking for somebody important?â
âhm? me?â you pointed to yourself. âno..noâ you shook your head.
âmhm.â she murmured, not believing you for a second.
5 minutes later, you heard a low voice come from behind you.ânice outfit.â you recognized it in an instant, making you turn around âjack!â you yelped, your arms flew up to his neck out of instinct. ânice to see you too, sweetie.â his voice brushed against your ear, making something flutter in your stomach.
you pulled away from him as you realized you were in his place of work. you cleared your throat loudly, and then looked down at the floor. âsoooo.. howâs work been so far.â he understood that you were trying to play it cool so he followed your lead.
he calmly placed his arms behind his back. âoh nothing, just the average shift so far. spent my morning out in the field.â his chin lifted up smugly.
you folded your arms in response, âright, ofcourse, as one does.â you said trying to hold back from smiling. âwell, would you take me through your day out in the field?â you ask placing a hand on his shoulder. âi would but itâd be pretty boring for you, i know how much you love a thrill.â you laughed softly at his words.
it was true, you definitely do. and jack found that out about after staying up way past the time he got home and learning internet sleuthing 101 from victoria successfully without telling her why.
âi should let you get back to doing whatever it is that you do.â you rub his arm up and down his shoulder, watching your own hands motion intensely. he grabbed it with his own and stopped yours. âhm?â you questioned.
âyou can stay.â he said looking at you with a tiny frown displaying his face. âno, i canât and we both know that.â your eyes softened at the sight of the frown leaving his face.
âiâll see you when you get home, knock on my door, and maybe iâll let you in.â you whispered the last part of the sentence in his ear. thatâs when you felt a sudden tug in your dress.
âmiss bunny?â a little voice came from down by your leg. you looked down to see a little girl, darskined, the most beautiful curls youâve ever seen, with tears beginning to well up in her eyes, in the cutest dress. âoh my god! arenât you just adorable!â you cooed at her in awe at her cuteness. âare you okay?â you asked paying more attention now to her tears.
âwhatâs your name, honey?â you tilt your head to the side while looking up at her.
âumm, my names destiny..â if you hadnât turned your ear in the direction of her mouth, you wouldnât have heard her over the busy and incredibly loud ER. âwell destiny, honey, what brings you here today?â
âmy mommy.â a big frown crept onto her face. âwhat happened?â you rubbed your thumb over her little hand. âshe.. hurt herself. my daddy says she struggles with a sadness after she had me and my little brother.â you watched her and listened very closely.
âyou know, destiny, i had a friend who struggled with something very similar to what your mommy does. except it was a different kind of sadness, she didnât get it after she had babies. but she got better and now, sheâs much happier and it may not be easy at first but it will be in just a matter of time, never forget that.â you explained to her, and watched a small smile come up on her face.
âhow about.. i take you to the break room, and sneak you some snacks and a basket? we could get one for your brother as well?â you asked. that, made her whole face brighten with excitement and happiness. âi think i could even help your mommy and daddy cheer up.â
next thing you knew your were in a bear hug with her. âaww.â you said softly, picking her up, mouthing âiâll see you later.â to jack. he nodded with an understanding look on his face, watching you walk off with the toddler in your arms.
âyou got it bad, romeo.â dana spoke up from behind, adjusting her glasses while looking down at the computer in front of her.

you couldnât believe the day you had. youâve been running around all day, now you were gonna sit and decompress. so, after you took a shower and the doorbell rang you immediately groaned and went to answer it.
âdid anyone ask for takeout?â jack stood in your doorway, holding a bag of chinese takeout. âoh my god, youâre the best.â âofcourse i am, what else are neighbors for?â you smiled.
âyou wanna come inside?â
