LMAO it’s actually so funny because I am a DND 24/7 person and it gets me in trouble all the time so maybe that’s why my characters always have their phones on lolol

but to give you an in-universe answer: they’re all traveling and they miss their personal lives/fam so they make sure not to miss a call 😭 they work so much that when they have the time and space to call they def can’t squander the opportunity !

you both worked the same night shift and met each other randomly after the pittfest incident. he found you standing in an empty trauma room, starting at the blood on your gloves, not moving, didn’t force you to speak, he could gather what pained you, it was the same for him, you could see how it haunted him.

you’re mature, very mature to the point you don’t understand truly why santos and javadi comment on how new nurses flirt with jack to you; maybe it’s because you aren’t young anymore, you’re past the point of being jealous over something they point out. jack is handsome, you know this, and honestly, it makes you laugh and smirk whenever someone says it to him, but they don’t fully understand how you can let someone flirt with him.

a few reasons. one being, again, you’re mature and older now. two, you can’t blame someone for finding him attractive, fuck, you know he is. he knows he is. three, no matter how many nurses flirt with him, he never gives anything back, just a simple yet professional thank you. no one notices the way his eyes find you mid charting whenever a nurse is yapping in his ear about how handsome or hot he is. he doesn’t acknowledge it sometimes, if it does happen he instantly thinks to the morning when you both got home, took a warm shower, helped him take his prothetic off and called him handsome and pretty while you kissed over his face before bed. four, not a single blush appears on his cheeks at the flirting. it only happens with you. and fifth, they’re attempts and advances go nowhere.

if one of them comments on how he looks well rested after his last shift? “thanks, my wife bought me this new tea to drink after my shift, helps me sleep better.” if one of them points out a new sticker on his badge? “yeah, my wife and son got it for me.” if one of them tells him about a place down the street that serves great food, an obvious hint? “really? i’ll see if my wife is off tomorrow so i can take her.” he’s always thinking about you. he’s so in love with you it’s crazy.

you’re the first person he looks for after a bad shift. you’re the first person he looks for when he has a panic attack and can’t calm down. you’re the first person he looks for instead of going to the rooftop. you’re the first person he calls if you took up a day shift. you're the first person he texts. you’re his first everything.

they can do and try whatever they want, but you both know your homes are with each other. he waits for only you after the 12-hour shift. your hand is the one he finds instantly when you both walk out the doors. your lips are the ones always on his. your fingers are always the only ones in his hair when you’re both tucked into your comfortable bed after it all.

so yeah, seeing people flirt with your husband might be amusing to you, but at the end of the day, you’re comfortable, so secure, loved and happy in your marriage that jealously doesn’t come out ugly and it’s you who gets to love him, take care of him, make him happy. no one else.
