Rick was aware that Chris was away taking some personal time - and he really couldn't deny his little brother. He just wasn't exactly swimming in visitors or with anything particularly constructive to do. Even the TV seemed to suck, and he mostly slept to try and just kill the boredom. It didn't help he couldn't sleep without still some discomfort

Bella smiled at her patient in amusement. He was always with the quips, and she would be lying if she didn't admit it was a little refreshing. Most of her patients struggled to hold onto their humour, which was completely understandable. These Deleo brothers, though. They had a reputation. She was in scrubs again this time, light green with bright purple Converse shoes. She wasn't long out of another surgery, her hair still tied back at the nape of her neck. She was just trying to get through her surgical rounds and Rick was the last on her list. She wanted to be able to spend a bit more time with him, hoping he might want to talk with his brother away for the night

Rick made a face, but gave a slight nod. Just what he wanted, more drugs. He wasn't sure if he'd actually wind up using it, but he supposed it was probably better than putting up with the pain. He knew just as well as she did what the pain probably meant.

He wasn't going to escape cancer.

He smirked lightly as he gave her a wink. "I'm already your favourite, huh? It's because of my gorgeous insides, isn't it? One look at my organs, and you're gone."

"Hey, I know that look," Bella told him softly and came to stand beside him. She rested her hand lightly on his shoulder giving it a small rub. "If we get your pain under control, it will give me the best idea of what your medication regime should be. If you're in pain, you're weaker and you'll take more to fight this. I wouldn't be giving you any drugs unless I was sure you needed it. You need it. I warned you about the stomach pain, that will ease over the next few days, I'm sure of it. Once you start eating a normal diet again, too, we actually might be able to let you go home. Some people find it easier to recuperate away from a hospital."

She laughed, and gave him a feigned look of disapproval. "I really need to watch you, don't I? One day I'm going to bend over and find your hand up my skirt. Best not say you're all my favourites. Oops, did I say that out loud? You and your organs need to listen to doctor's advice."

"I hate you doctors. You're too good at reading people. Still, you're good at your job. No denying. I'll take the drugs. I'm just not sure of what's going to happen if you do send me home. I don't exactly have one. Not here in Miami." Rick gave a slight shrug. "I came here to crash at Dave's and found myself in hospital instead. Guess you can't get rid of me easy."

Rick sucked on his bottom lip as his gaze travelled down her body reflexively and his eyes lit up. "Until you just suggested it, I didn't exactly plan on doing something that crass. I before a little lead up to the main event. Maybe just a stolen kiss when you next check my vitals." Rick gave her a mock salute. "Me and my organs will fall into line."
