Why were Jesse and Park so grumpy? Well, I’m glad nobody asked but it is because July 4th is their anniversary. 10 years of being the Pitts most low key (and long-lasting) relationship. Shifts have been booked off, gig tickets purchased and they’re set for a day of beer, pinball, food and sex (not necessarily in that order) but then Jesse gets the call - the Pitt is understaffed and could he please, please come in? Before he’s even said yes, Jesse’s leave has been revoked and he’s back on Day Shift. Because there’s zero point in having an anniversary when the other half of said anniversary isn’t there, Brendon decides he may as well go in as well. Unlike Jesse, Brendon decides to make his bad mood everyone else’s problem and stalks the Ortho ward in a grump all day, a mood which is not improved by the IT shutdown. They can’t even book anywhere to go for dinner after work because everything was booked out months ago and even takeout will take forever to deliver.
Jesse was equally as moody, until the abandoned baby came in. As an ex peeds nurse, he can’t resist a baby and he spends most of his shift attending to Baby Jane Doe. Being a nurse he knows how broken the foster system is and Brandon grew up in foster care, he’s heard the horror stories first hand. Maybe they could take her home for a little bit…
Meanwhile Brendons mood has somewhat improved when he gets called down to see a poor gal whose had her leg sliced clean off at a waterpark. Severed limbs are his speciality. The surgery will take hours though so he stops in on Jesse to let him know that their anniversary night is a bust. Jesse is holding a very contented looking baby and this is where if Park had ovaries they would have exploded. Yes, of course they can take the baby home for a few days, no, he didn’t give away all the formula from the last baby they looked after and yes, he would like Jesse to order him some food for when he gets home.
It might not have been the anniversary they originally planned but at least Park gets to replant an limb and Jesse got to cuddle with a baby… DUN DUNDUUUNNNN…
