1 x 1 with It.Will.Rain

[Boomer]

Mary nodded a little, relieved that Jake understood what she was feeling. She felt her pager go off as she looked to it. "Speak of the devil..." she mumbled, "Dr. Porter wants the surgery pushed to tomorrow. I'm betting it's because of some surgeon golf outing." She opened one eye and gave a slight smirk.
~~
"Oh, I just thought you were staying." said Maria quietly, turning towards him, "I uh... like sharing my bed. It makes me feel safe and warm." Maria then clung onto Mark, nuzzling him.

"Okay. What would you like to do? Only say it is okay if you are sure that is what you want." Jake said looking at her. He wanted her to be happy with her decision.

"Okay. Then I will stay." Mark said and laid down with her and pulled her close. "I am glad you feel safe with me." He said and held her as he closed his eyes.

"If I have more time to think about it, I know I'll just weasel out of it." said Mary quietly. She had responded with a confirmation to the surgeon's page. She then shut her eyes and sighed softly. "You never did say why you think he wants to push it forward." she mumbled, "You can't say golfing..."
~~
"I'm happy to hear that..." she whispered happily, curling up close with Mark. She sighed happily, resting her head on his chest.

"Okay. He has a party to go to the night before and he is worried he will be really tired the next day." Jake said and yawned a little. He was a bit tired. He kissed her cheek and then closed his eyes.

Mark smiled and put his arms around her. "I like cuddling with you." He said to her. He rubbed her side a little bit. He closed his eyes as he relaxed with her.

[Boomer]

"I'd say that he doesn't want to be too drunk to operate." she mused, curling up close to him. Mary held onto him lightly as she sighed quietly. "Thank you for not leaving me..." she whispered.
~~
"I like cuddling with you too." she said quietly, wagging her tail a little. Maria sighed happily as she laid there with him, listening to his heartbeat.

[it.will.rain]

"Ya. That is what I am thinking. I do not think that he would want to cause any problems with that." Jake said to her. He carefully put an arm around her. "Don't ever worry about me leaving you. I will never do that." He said looking at her.

'I am glad." He said to her. Mark relaxed and he soon fell asleep. He was pretty tired and wanted to rest up.

[Boomer]

"You're a good man..." she said quietly, finding herself becoming sleepy. Mary flicked her tail as she yawned, nestling herself close to Jake. "You won't leave if the surgery went bad, right?" she asked. Mary knew the answer, but it made her feel better to be told she wouldn't be abandoned.
~~
Maria fell asleep not long after Mark did. She snored and drooled as usual.

Jake smiled a little. "I am not perfect but I try. You know that I will not leave. Even if we have to have a courthouse wedding because the surgery goes so bad that we can't have a full wedding. But everything will be fine. You have nothing to worry about." He said to her.

[Boomer]

"Thank you..." she said softly, "That puts me at ease." Mary was struggling to stay awake, but she knew that wouldn't be the case later in the night. "I suppose I should rest while I can." she said, "You don't really rest when you're put under." Mary nuzzled Jake gently before drifting to sleep.

"I am glad my love." He said to her. He knew she needed to sleep so he went quiet so that she could rest soon falling asleep with her. He woke up the next morning and went downstairs and started to make breakfast.
