Mending Wounds Ch. 01

Angel McCallister, a young OB/GYN doctor at Sunnydale General was going through a usual day. He had patients to see right and left. No matter how many women he dated in his line of work or outside of work it; it just didn't workout. The thing that he struggled with the most was finding the perfect woman. You know the one that will make your heart stop, that smile that won't come off your face whenever she's in the room. He needed that spark, that electricity that would ignite in his body to feel him that she's the one for him. Forever.

"Doctor McCallister, you have a patient waiting for you in room three."

"Thank you, Darla," he said flashing her a smile. Darla and Angel had dated a few times, but he wanted a serious relationship and all she wanted was to sleep with him. Even though the broke up was amicably, Darla was always jealous whenever a woman would make a pass at Angel.

Buffy Summers-Finn, a young prominent lawyer was busy with her latest case. She was working undercover at Wolfram & Hart. Her law firm Summers & Rosenberg was getting suspicious at how their clientele just somehow disappeared and started relying on Wolfram & Hart. The thing that boggled her mind the most was when they went over to Wolfram & Hart, about six months to a year later they mysteriously disappeared. Buffy befriended a detective, Kate Lockley that worked in the LAPD. She and Kate were trying to figure out the whereabouts of the missing clients.

Today Buffy was supposed to meet up with Kate and probably try to go home and see her husband Riley. Her and Riley were newlyweds and things between them couldn't be better. As she was getting dressed in her business suit, the phone rang in her apartment.

"Hello."

"Hey, baby. Do you miss me?" She recognized the voice right away.

"Riley, of course you know that I miss you. Guess what? I'm coming home this weekend."

"Great. 'Cause I miss seeing your beautiful face." She laughed.

"I'm sorry to cut things short, but I have to go. I'll see you soon."

Cordelia Chase-Harris was a frequent patient of Angel's. Cordelia met up with Angel because he was one of the best doctors in his field at Sunnydale General. She had her monthly appointment and was reaching her sixth month.

"Finally you're here. What took you so long?" Cordelia said agitated.

"Well hello to you, too Cordelia. So how have you been?" he said smiling.

"Sorry about that. Hello to you, too. I've been feeling a bit cranky and getting fatter everyday," she said gesturing to her swollen stomach.

"Cordelia, I think it's natural for you to feel this way. Now why don't I check your vitals and see if everything's okay." As Angel took out his stethoscope to check Cordelia's breathing and then measured her protruding belly, Cordelia started talking again.

"Doc, I always wondered, why a handsome man like yourself doesn't have a wife at home waiting for you?" Angel looked at her and laughed. It seemed so typical for every female to be asking him that question. They always somehow would either match him up and the typical thing usually happened. He'd date for a while; probably sleep with them and then breaking up.

"I just haven't found the right woman yet. I know for sure that when I do, you'll be the first to know."

~*~*~*~*~*

Buffy met up with Kate for lunch. They sat outside, since it was a beautiful day. As Buffy bit into her sandwich, Kate started talking.

"So have you found anything new to incriminate Wolfram & Hart?"

"Well, I've been through the archives like I said, but something just feels weird. I can sense it. It's almost like a sixth sense."

"I just hope that your right. 'Cause so far I've got nothing incriminating on them."

"Don't worry, I'll give you the evidence that you need."

Saturday. It seemed like forever, but it finally came around. Most people would sleep in and wake up late, but not for Angel McCallister. His life was his work. At first when he started medicine it was an exhilarating experience. Angel's parents were so proud of his accomplishments. They both knew he'd be successful in anything when he put his mind to expect for women.

As Angel stepped into the shower and let the water beat against his muscular back; his thoughts went back to a year ago.

He finished making love with Darla and he was about to ask her something.

"Darla?"

"Yeah." Her head was laid against his smooth chest as her fingertips glided up and down his slick chest.

"I was thinking that things between us have been quite serious and I wanted us to take the next level in our relationship."

Darla looked up at him. She couldn't believe that he was that serious about their relationship. She loved Angel, but not in that way. He was the best lover that she had ever had, but she just wasn't ready to walk down the isle.

"Angel, I'm surprised. I don't know what you want me to say."

"I want you to be with you forever, Darla. You're the one for me. I love you. Darla, if you feel the same way, will you marry me?"

"I'm not ready yet, Angel. You're a nice guy Angel, but I just can't be with you in that way. I'm sorry."

"I think you should go now. I'll see you tomorrow."

'Why can't I find the right woman and then live happily ever after? Yeah, right. That's only in the movies.'

~*~*~*~*~*

Buffy was heading home for the weekend. She had missed Riley, her friends and family too. The thing that she wanted was to finish this undercover work and go back to working in her own law firm. She stepped into her house and headed upstairs to surprise Riley. Buffy spotted Riley in bed, still sleeping and walked towards him as her hand caressed his cheek and he opened his eyes and spotted his wife.

"Buffy. You came pretty early. I thought that maybe you'd be coming home later."

"Well things are going pretty well in LA. So I figured why not come home early and surprise my husband."

"Well if you put it that way, how can I not refuse this beautiful woman before me," he said smiling. She leaned over and kissed him.

~*~*~*~*~*

The day went petty smoothly for Angel. There weren't too many disasters or upsetting pregnant mothers complaining. Angel headed to the locker room to change. Out of his scrubs into a t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans with his black boots. He had plans to hang out with is best friend William, but his nickname was Spike. As he stepped out he bumped into Darla.

"Sorry about that Darla."

"I'm not. So do you have any plans that might include me in them?" she said trailing a finger down his chest.

"I don't think so, Darla. You and I are only co-workers and nothing else." He then left her standing as she saw him walking out the hospital.

"You've got another thing coming, Angel. I'll get you back. You were mine once. You'll be mine again."

~*~*~*~*~*

Angel met up with Spike at Willie's Bar. Willie was a close friend to both of the guys. So if things got out of hand and they couldn't pay they had a tab.

"So how's the doc tonight?"

"It's been a long week. Just give me a Heineken and I'll be waiting for Spike."

Spike or William to his fellow co-workers was working at the Sunnydale Police Department. It wasn't his first choice of a dream job, but since he wasn't doing well in high school, that right after his second year of college, which he dropped out of, he joined the force. He spotted his friend at the bar drinking away. It could only mean one thing. Darla. She just somehow always ruined things for Angel since their breakup.

"Hey, Angel, how's it going?" Spike said smacking his hand on Angel's back. Angel looked at his friend and smiled.

"Not much. I'll buy you a beer." Spike was thrilled at how gracious about getting a free drink.

"I can tell that you've been thinking about Darla again. What's she done now?" Angel looked at him with the expression of 'I don't want to talk about it.'

"Okay. How about I hook you up with someone at the Department? I know a really cute girl that wouldn't mind having a doctor as a boyfriend." Angel smiled at him.

"You know perfectly well why I haven't dated a cop. I sure don't want that if I break up with her, that she'll stalk me and then kill me. If I was a cop, then I'd accept it." Spike couldn't believe the bullshit Angel was throwing at him. He knew Angel was the type of guy that could walk in anywhere and all the women would be starring at him.

They kept on drinking throughout the night. Finally both men were truly drunk because they both stared babbling, especially Angel.

"You know I don't why I always go for blondes. It just seems that I never dated a brunette, ever. I want to meet a girl and hear that song on the radio like in the movies and look right at her and know she's the one."

"Okay. You know what Angel why don't we just go on home now. I think you had enough for now." He started to lift Angel up, but Angel moved his hand away.

"I'm not ready to go home yet. I say that I have another drink and I'll buy for the whole house as well." After those last words he fell flat on the floor. Spike looked up at Willie.

"I'll drive him and he'll come pick up his car tomorrow."
