Helping Out a Friend (Ted/Jenna)

Jenna gathered up the files on top of the nurses station counter as she finished her last week at Mercy General before she transferred. Going through the files she jumped a bit when she heard a voice behind her. "Oh, hey Ted," Jenna said.

"Hey." Ted muttered.

"What's on your mind, hm?" Jenna asked.

"Mickie and I separated after the miscarriage." Ted said.

"Why?" Jenna asked.

"We just kept fighting so we decided to separate." Ted said.

Jenna nodded.

"She's gonna need you though Ted," Jenna said.

"I tried to help." Ted said.

"And how'd she react?" Jenna asked.

"She was just angry at me." Ted said.

"Details Ted, details," Jenna said, packing up more of her things.

"Do I look like a woman? I don't know every detail about everything." Ted said.

"Ted exactly what did she say?" Jenna asked.

"Nothing. All she did was glare at me so I told her I was leaving and she said fine. Getting married was such a bad move." Ted muttered.

"She's going through a lot right now Ted," Jenna said as they passed one of her coworkers.

"You're really leaving?" the nurse asked.

"Yeah," Jenna said.

"I know but I lost the baby too." Ted said.

"I know," Jenna said. "Just give her time."

"I don't know...maybe I should just move on." Ted said.

Jenna shook her head. "No," Jenna said.

"Why not?" Ted asked.

"I have a crush on you." Ted said.

"Wha.......What?" Jenna asked.

Ted burst into laughter.

"Sorry I just needed a good laugh after all the crap recently." Ted said.

Jenna chuckled.

"You're a mess Ted," Jenna said.

"You actually bought that laughter?" Ted asked.

"Ted, please don't mess with my head right now, I'm leaving in a few days," Jenna said.
