🛑I'M STUPID AND DON'T KNOW HOW GOVERNMENT HELP WORKS WITH MARRIAGE DON'T AT ME🛑 (I'm just doing shiz)
Dennis was married (legally) and have been since sophomore year of college, due to being broke and needing support. One day his roommate (friend) gave an idea on getting married to each other for the benefits of extra money and support from the government.
They get married on a very chill Sunday, with their friends dad being the witness, vows in hand, dressed in nice attire both in white. Giggling and smiling over this stupid idea actually coming to fruition.
Their marriage was a success and are happy with the idea of more money being brought in to their checks. Only to realize they don't get that money unless they have a house and a full income to set in stone for the benefits. Distraught and even more broke, Dennis and his friend decide that it's best they both deal with it and move on. Going their seperate ways and continue college.
Both of them leaving, off to do their own thing, living in seperate states and work.
"Ok Mr. Stanberry, the surgery went very smooth, and you're all set before discharge." McKay said while looking at the charts on the computer screen, standing next to the patient who's in bed. Javadi standing close to her on McKay's left with a note pad in her hand.
"Thank you so much, feel tired but a lot better. I feel stupid letting myself get shot my an arrow" Mr. Stanberry said with a relaxed but tired look on his face.
Javadi stepping in to reassure the patient. "Oh no don't worry accidents like these happen pretty often, nothing to be ashamed".
"Really? " "thats... Good to know I guess"
"So you have any other questions before we call in your family? ". McKay saying with a easy tone.
"Oh! Yeah actually um does someone named Dennis Whitaker work here?" A knowing smile inching on his face.
"Dennis? Um yeah he does, how do you know him? " Javadi wondering stepping closer to the bed.
"Are you family or friends to him?" McKay asking while do some last check up's to finish everything off.
"Oh I'm his husband" Mr. Stanberry says with a loving smile and bright eyes.
Javadi and Ms. McKay both looking straight up at the patient with a sharp movement. Eyes wide and shocked. "What" both women saying at the same time.
It's loud and busy in the center of the ER, people everywhere nurses and doctors doing their rounds. While patients are behind every curtain and room, with some in the halls.
Dana on the phone getting information. "Yeah I'll let him know... Okay got it" putting the phone down, looking for a certain short, mousey looking person. "HEY! WHITAKER!" Dana tells to get Whitakers attention who's currently sitting at one of the computers filling in a case. Whitaker looks up searching for the face to the yell, seeing Dana stare right at him.
"Yes! Something with a patient?" He asked standing up, heading over to Dana. "Someone named Derek Stanberry is asking for you in South 19" she rest her arms on the desk while looking at him.
"Wai- what" Dennis looking up at her with shock and a questionable face. Now frantically grabbing his note pad and stethoscope putting it around the back of his neck. Starts running to the exact room Dana said.
"Ummm what just happened?" Perlah asking who was sitting next to Dana watching the entire thing. "Yeahhh that was odd" said Princess.
"I don't know I'm just relaying a message, maybe a friend or something". Dana says sitting back down, going back to work.
"Whats going on?" Robby interjects walking over with a coffee cup in hand along side Dr. Abbott and Dr. Santos. Princess turning towards them in her chair file in hand "you missed, Dana told Whitaker about someone who asked for him, and then he just started running towards the room"
Now all three doctors having quizzed faces, looking at Princess like she making it up.
"Who was it? " Robby wonders. " Just some guy named Derek Stanberry in South 19, I think he just got out of surgery?" Perlah with a uncaring tone.
"I'm thinking it's most likely a friend maybe even family, and just got worried about them" Dana interludes.
Santos speaking in to this conversation " but I don't think he has any family here in Pittsburgh, thats what Dennis told me".
"Maybe it's a an old friend?" Abbott questions
"No he never mentioned he had any" Santos says looking down thinking
"Maybe one of his brothers?" Dr. Robby comments
Everyone thinking whos got Dennis all freaked out about with various thoughts and feelings
"You're all wrong... It's neither of those" McKay walking in with Javadi right next to her.
"It's his husband" McKay smirks looking at the whole group, with Javadi nodding in agreement.
The whole group goes silent.
"WHAT" Robby and Santos saying at the same time while everyone else is looking around for something, answers, questions. Commotion turning within the ER, a simple three word sentence causing a frenzy.
While in the other half of the building a certain mouse boy is in a room to see a person they haven't in a long time, with joy and worry across his mind.
