Luca made his way out of the office and into the afternoon sun. When he turned the corner he noticed a familiar face that he hadn’t seen in a while. He sent them a smile as he made his way closer. “Hey, long time no see.” He said as he sent a small wave. “What have you been up to lately? I almost feel like you’ve been hiding from me.” Luca joked with a small chuckle.

 Antonio looked up only to land his eyes on the familiar face of Luca. A small smile shaped on his lips, followed by a greeting nod. “Hey man, how are you?” He asked. “Oh you know me, mainly work.” He stated with a small shrug. “And yourself? How is that company of yours going?”

Daniel finished pouring the dressing onto the salad before placing the now empty container to the side. He started to shuffle the salad together in hopes to spread the dressing. His eyes stayed focused on the food while he answered Antonio. “I’m doing alright. Unfortunately, they said the ER could use an extra set of hands, and I’m the dumbie that offered to come in.” He joked, shrugging his shoulders a bit. He poked some of the lettuce onto his fork and brought it to his mouth, chewing and swallowing before looking at his friend. “Anything interesting yet?” He asked with interest. Sharing stories of weird or crazy cases and surgeries was something Daniel loved about his job.

 Antonio could not help but chuckle a little under his breath. “I guess that makes me and idiot, as I rarely have the heart to say no whenever they ask me to take on an extra shift.” It was partially why he was divorced. Luckily, he had family in town to help out if Franny was working, with their son. He took another bite of his sandwich, followed by a large sip of his now lukewarm coffee, before redirecting his attention back at Daniel. “Not so much in this town, if I am being honest with you.” He said. “But when I did my residency, we had a lot of different things.  Now, it is mainly re-adjusting broken bones or hip surgeries and such.” At least as of late.

WHERE: Fallbrook General Hospital WHO: @antoniomorino​

Despite being a primary care physician, Daniel often volunteered his doctoring abilities to the local hospital when they needed help. The man enjoyed his field of work and loved being the hospital event from time to time. It reminded him of his first experiences with patients back in medical school. Because of his volunteering from time to time, Daniel knew most of the staff at the small town’s hospital. When he entered the cafeteria to grab a quick lunch, Daniel picked up a grilled chicken salad and took a seat near Antonio. “Hey, Antonio. How’s your shift been going?” Daniel asked his friend, smiling at him as he worked on opening his salad to pour some of ranch dressing over it.

 Antonio had just managed to go down to the cafeteria to grab a bite to eat and luckily found a seat and had been about to dig into his sandwich when a familiar face appeared next to him. A small smile shaped on his lips. “Hey Daniel. How are you?” He asked him out of curiosity. “It’s been going alright. Busy, like always.” He chuckled. “And yourself? I assume you  aren’t here for fun?”

Franny hated the nights when Sammy was over at Antonio’s. While she loved and always had that the father and son spent this time together, but she was starting to hate just being in the house alone. It made her painfully aware of how she screwed up things and it reminded her of when she and Antonio first separated. After being with someone for so long, silence was almost deafening. And she was living that more and more lately. She tired having friends over, playing music, watching shows she hadn’t watched in a while, and even pulled longer shifts, but nothing beat the silence and the loneliness of not having anyone next to her. Tonight was especially that way and she was getting worse. It was late when she finally decided to go out to Antonio’s and hoped he wasn’t in bed as she made the walk around the block to his house and knocked on the door.

 Antonio had been in the kitchen finishing up the dished, when he had heard the knock on his front door. Sammy had luckily been easy to put down that evening after an eventful day together both at the park and the batting cage. He hadn’t had his afternoon nap, so he had crashed pretty  quickly after dinner. Tossing the kitchen towel over his shoulder, he made his was to the front door and opened it. Seeing Franny had him frown slightly as he had not been expecting her, and the first thought that popped into his head was that maybe something had happened. “Fran -- Hi.” He said, smiling slightly. “Everything alright?”

“I think they were always hard to beat,” Christian admitted with a chuckle, “but I think as a kid we didn’t care as much.” Though he didn’t know if that was the case. It was a long time since either of them had been a kid. “Ooh, that’s a hell of a bet,” Christian laughed, nodding his head in agreement. “yet, not one that I am going to turn down because we both know that I don’t spend much time outside the hospital anymore.” He teased once more, “I’m in.” He continued to grin at the other as he approached the cola toss game. Handing off tickets for the both of them, they were given the rings. “Here’s to that last shift next weekend.”

“Yeah that is a fair point. Some even claim some games at carnivals are rigged, but I don’t know. I am not much for conspiracy theories.” He said with a small chuckle.  Antonio figured they might as well make it interesting if they were going to try it out. “What? Scared Coleman?” He teased him with a small smirk. “Sounds good to me!” He nodded in agreement, feeling the competitive side in him growing. “Don’t get cocky. We haven’t even started yet!” He chuckled, “May the best man win.”

“That is a good thing,” though he doubted his wife agreed that it was with how much he had been working. Not to mention, the uptick in out of town cases that he was consulting on and taking over. Oscar simply was a busy man, avoiding his problems more than anything. “Work been just as busy for you, then?” He questioned with a slight raise of his brow. Oscar nodded his head, flagging down the bartender to order himself a drink and allowing a moment Antonio to order one for himself as well. “The game?” He was not a sports fan, “Baseball?” He twisted his lips, “Sorry, not current on sports much.” Oscar admitted with a light chuckle.

Antonio  didn’t have much of a social life, and most people around his own age were settled down and families to go home to, but Anti only saw his son whenever time allowed it and when it didn’t, he tried his best to socialize. “Yeah, I’d say so. There is rarely a quiet day.” There was usually always something to do, either in town on helping out at the hospital in Williamsburg. Once they had the bartenders attention, he ordered himself a beer and took a seat. “That is  alright. It isn’t for everyone.” He chuckled. “So you didn’t play any sports in high school I take it?”

Logan gathered up the kids after her chat with Antonio and headed over towards his place. She chuckled as she slowly put down all of their stuff, watching Lily find a spot in the grass to read her book as the boys ran towards Sammy. “Are you kidding? If I didn’t bring Matty after he heard me say Sammy I think he would have destroyed the inside of my house.” Matt had lately had some outbursts which was normal for a kid his age, right? He had been through a lot though and that’s what she had to keep in mind. First the scare with Lily and almost losing his father. Inhaling, the brunette placed her hand on her small bump as a low exhale left her lips. “Does Sammy have random outbursts sometimes?” She asked, turning her head to look over at him.

 Antonio exhaled a small laugh while his eyes wandered over towards the boys that greeted one another with a mixture of hugs and high fives, before running onwards towards the sandbox where Sammy had started working on a town, which he so nicely called it, although it just were a mixture of piles everywhere. “I am glad to hear they were excited to come over.” He commented. Sammy not having friends were a constant worry for the usually social awkward doctor. “Would you like a drink? I put out lemonade for the kids, but I also have water, soft drinks, tea, coffee?” He offered, not sure what she would like, if anything. At her question, he pondered for a moment. “Not usually? I mean, Franny might be the right person to ask as he lives with her permanently.” It wasn’t a secret, the whole town knew it. “He did when Franny broke off her engagement with Harrison though.” He added. “Why do you ask?”

A smile came across her face as she watched him with the kid. She loved the way he was with kids, especially (and most obviously) Sammy. She laughed a little as the kid got up and left before listening to him and nodded as she went through her pack and handed him some. “There you go. I can have on the guys go out and grab some more too.” Franny told her ex-husband. “Good. Hopefully the most we will get, but I think we’re all ready just in case something like the end of summer event goes down.” She hoped it didn’t and her mind circled around to Sammy and should’ve told her mom to stick around the tent. She tried shaking the thought, though, and looked back at Antonio. “At least we get to see each other in our element a little more than we have before.”

 Antonio walked over towards her slightly as she had turned to her bag, smiling when she handed him a packet. “Thank you. I think the kids are like, trying to get a minor injury to have a cool plaster on them.” He said with a small snicker. “Probably not the worse idea, to be honest with you.” He nodded in agreement with her. He looked over at her before he offered a small, yet reassuring smile. “It should be fine. The wether reports are looking good.” He told her, but you never knew as the wether could also be tempramental. “Oh yeah, I am doing major work over here cleaning out small cuts and sticking on plasters.” He laughed as he draped his arms over hsi chest, even though he knew what she meant. 

closed starter for @antoniomorino​ at Rosewood Park

After work, Dominique walked Ivey down to the park so she could play outside for a little bit. While at the daycare, it was a little rainy so none of the kids wen tout, but now it was clearing up and she wanted her daughter to get some sun in before they went home. So, they went there and she ran off to play with her friends, especially Sammy as she spotted the boy. The mother looked around to see if it was Franny or Antonio who had Sammy out and saw it was Antonio and walked over to him. “Hey. Seems you had the same idea I had, huh?”

 Antonio was watching his son play somewhat carefully with the other kids when e familiar voice had spoken up. Looking to his side, he could see the familiar face of Dom approaching and his lips shot up into a smile. “Dom, hey!” He said, “Yes, I figured as the sun was peaking out that we would try making the most of the whether. I think playing with other kids is a lot more fun than playing with boring dad.” He added with a small chuckle. “How have you been?”

After meeting up with her mom to have her watch Sammy around the festival while she worked, Franny went to the tent where the emergency services were and she smiled as she saw Antonio. “Hey.” She said as she put her bag down and put on the name tag she wore for things like this. She pulled her hair up into a pony tail before looking around. “Do we have everything we need just in case?” She asked and started looking over things. “I think this is the first time we’ve worked together like this other than me dropping patients off a the hospital.”

 Antonio had just pulled some plasters our from his med kit for a kid that had fallen over and gotten a small cut in his finger. After fastening the glued end, he looked over his shoulder at the greeting by the familiar voice. “Hi Fran.” He said with a small smile on his lips before the kid that had been in front of him magically was feeling much better and ran off with his mother rolling her eyes before giving him a small thank you as she walked after him. “I think so. I am running out of my kid plasters though.” He chuckled before draping his arms over his chest. “Yeah, I think so too. Hopefully, nothing serious will go down. Only been some minor cuts and bruises so far.”

starter for @antoniomorino​ location: cola toss 

“You any good at these games?” Christian said, pausing to watch the young kids playing the Cola Toss game. His arms sat loosely crossed against his chest, head cocked to the side in hope the kids were able to win something, anything. “We can go head to head, if you’re up for a challenge?” His brow raised curiously toward the man, “I can’t say I’m an expert at this but watching the kids, I think I can figure it out.” 

“Depends on how you want to define good.” Antonio chuckled back at him. “I used to play some of them a lot as a kid, but as I got older I obviously didn’t anymore. Now, my son is the one going at them, but they appear to become harder and harder to beat.” He said with a small shrug. “What about yourself?” It had been years since he had last tested them out, but he might give it a go if Sammy got too frustrated. “Sure!” He grinned. “Looser needs to work the last shift at the hospital next weekend?” He added hald jokingly.

“I assumed the fact that the place was bare and void of furniture would have been clue enough but I suppose I should look into putting up a sign.” He stated, looking up from his ledger. “I have a few items, like beer and snack foods, just let me know if you want something.” He offered with a smile. He wasn’t sure what he was looking for by going over all the old ledgers, the place seemed to be doing well, profits were up and most of the reviews were positive. On the surface, there wasn’t much that should be done to the place but Finn wasn’t one to back down. He had a vision and he was going to see it through. “I am. Its been this way for so long and I think Fallbrook could use a bit more sophistication. I can’t imagine everyone will be happy about it though.” 

Antonio hadn’t been paying enough attention clearly, or maybe he was still exhausted from work the day before. “I think a sign would be good. People in this town can tend to be creatures of habits, so taking one of their local spots away would need some sort of announcement.” He had jested in a attempt to be witty. “Oh I was more looking for a cup of coffee. I am off to work soon and I don’t think being a surgeon I should treat myself to a beer before work.” He had said with a small chuckle. “I would think not, but I ma sure they will find a way to live with it.”
