The Travelling Doctor

"Gah... I feel so bad. I thought I could get over this with some rest." You grab ahold of the thermometer on the oak nightstand to your left. It's clustered with tissues, a new fizzy drink Joyce came up with to help your stomach, and packages of crackers Gina has given you. "I should really call Mojo... I don't want to bother him, but I need help..." You call Mojo, and he answers after three dail tones. "Mojo, are you busy, I'm really sick, and I could use a look over...?"

"I'm never too busy for you. I will be over soon darling, just rest for now," he reassures you with kind words.

"Thank you so much, I'm so sorry for interrupting you," solemnly said.

"Nonsense, my dear... now rest, I'll be there in fifteen," his calming voice reaches out. We hang up on the phone. You snuggle up in the blanket, grateful that Mojo would go to the ends of the earth for you. Dim lights playfully flicker through the old cottage windows of your house. You hear three light knocks on the door and the slow creaking of it opening. There's the gentle pitter-patter of dress shoes that clack against the ornate wooden floors approaching your bedroom door. "Dear, I'm here, are you ok?" Mojo questions concerned. He's fully dressed up in a powerful black suit. It gives him an aire of authority. His fit body shines through the thin veil of his button-up.He is very toned for working house calls. A stethoscope dangles from his neck, and his face is adorned with black readers. His wrist carries a special hand crafted watch from the Northern Oddyssey realm. The watch was specially made to help guage the blood pressure of the patients. The rod of Asclepius sits on the watches face.

"Ah, I will be soon now that you are here," you smile softly at him, and your cheeks are flushed. It doesn't help that it's hard for you to breathe your nose, which is barred shut, and your chest is tight and full.

"Are you blushing because it's me or just because you're sick," he teases you as he unravels the stethoscope and places it on your chest. It's a little bit cold, but you know it has to be done. He's gotta hear how congested you are.

"Are you flirting with your patient, doctor?" You smirk at him, thinking to yourself even when I feel this bad, Mojo is always here to make me feel better. He puts a vase of your favorite flowers on the stand. It's surprising he remembered to get you some good luck flowers mixed with healing herb flowers. This bouquet is said to help improve the healing of those around them. He's so thoughtful...

"I don't see you complaining, dear." his tone is clear and calm, stern but not demanding. He grabs some medicine from his bag. His soft blonde hair falls over his forehead, peeking over his readers as he reaches for the bottle of pills. He opens it up and places it in my hand. "This will help break your fever, darling," he says as his callous hands gently hand me over some water to take the small red pill with. You gently take the cup and toss the pill back.

"I hope I didn't take you from something important..." And before you can even finish your sentence, Mojo gives you a soft kiss on the forehead. He gingerly places a hand under your chin, bringing your face to look him in the eyes. His gaze sets your heart fluttering. Any moment longer, and your heart could fly out of your chest.

"Love, I promised you I'd be here when you needed me, and I don't intend on breaking that promise. Besides, I had just gotten out of an important meeting in the clinic. So it was the end of my shift anyways," he always knows what to say to put your nerves at ease. "How about for the rest of the night I set aside the traveling and stay here by your side?" He crawls into the bed with you and gently holds you close, caressing your back and brushing your hair behind your ear. He plants delicate kisses all over your face. Home always feels complete when he is here. You wouldn't have it any other way. You and Mojo enjoy the rest of the night in each other's company. Besides, you've always heard that doctors are great with their hands, and he plans on putting them to good use ;)
