Victoria's pov

It's been a week since I got here, and things were the same for the most part.

I received a few 'good mornings' and smiles now and then, but that was it. Better that than nothing though. To my surprise, this morning Ty asked me if I was doing okay. I don't wanna speak too soon, but I guess this was the 'warming up' that Lincoln was talking about.

They always seemed busy though, and I've come to learn that they kinda ran things around here, hence the protectiveness. I totally understand.

Luka and I have been getting to know each other since the past week.

He would drop me off at work and pick me back up, then we would talk in his room most nights given that he was practically the only one who talked to me regularly.

I got my car back, but he always insisted that he took me. He kept saying something about safety and me getting lost blah blah blah. I didn't mind though, I don't like to drive. But I know I’ll have to eventually,  once I know the road enough. I don't want to have him taking me everyday.

I just got back from my early shift at the hospital, and I had no clue what to do. Luka left to do some 'business' and I didn't go to the diner like I did last week. I decided to take a shower, go get a snack and stay in my room and read a book. Maybe I'll fall asleep and call Kera in the night. Who knows?

I made my way to the kitchen when I saw Emma sitting looking angry at the world. She hasn't been bitching around me lately, she just simply said good morning when I came down for breakfast and made small talk about Twinkle for a couple seconds, then it was back to being invisible.

I got myself some ice-cream and cookies when I took another look at her. She didn't look well.

"What's wrong? " I asked carefully. She doesn't like me and I don't necessarily like her either, but I'm not heartless.

She looked skeptical about answering but she did anyway.

"I have had this terrible pain in my tummy for the past three days and it won't go away" She sounded frustrated.

"I can take a look if you'd like, I'm a nurse-"

"I know you're a nurse" she cut me off, looking annoyed. Rude.

"And I already went to my pac- I mean community doctor and he couldn't find a problem so I'm not sure what you can do," she said while placing her head on the island.

I contemplated just leaving her, but the nurse in me wouldn't let me. I made my way over to her and held her shoulder gently.

"May I? " I asked as I stretched my hands towards her tummy. She nodded and I proceeded to check what was wrong.

After touching it I immediately came up with a diagnosis, as I've seen this many times before, mostly in babies and kids but a few adults too. I asked for a minute as I went to grab my stethoscope for confirmation.

To my delight, my thoughts were confirmed as I heard nothing but the fluids moving around in there like a playground.
