Pink Rose

"Good morning, Dr. King." the receptionist greeted her, the most popular doctor in the hospital. She was the psychiatrist that save a man from jumping off their 30 story building and stopped her patient from shooting himself in the head. She was a very persuasive person who enjoyed doing her job.

It was currently 9am and she began to head to her office, where she had paperwork to fill out. As she headed to her office, she noticed that nobody was anywhere to be found. Strange. As she put the key into her door and turned her lights on, people jumped from behind the couch, closet and door screaming 'Surprise'

She was surprised indeed. It was a Monday morning and her coworkers threw a little surprise party. She looked all around the room and noticed the pretty decorations and the banner that read 'We love you, Dr. King'

She covered her mouth with her hand, shocked trying to stop her tears from falling down her cheeks.

"What is all about? My birthday is in 3 months."

"Nothing special. Just expressing our appreciation for everything you've done for this hospital. Being the head of the Pysch department, you have inspired us to become better people and treat patients like they're people and not like a case. Thank you." David, the new psychiatrist said. He headed into her direction with a bouquet of pink roses.

"These are for you. From April." she looked behind David and noticed April standing behind her, smiling faintly and looking down, petting her pet rabbit. April is Dr. King's  16 year old daughter with autism. She had hard time growing up being neglected by her own parents for her sickness. Bullied in school and not treated as everyone else, she packed her bags and ran away from her home at just 12 years old. Dr. King found her outside in the cold rain one night and took her in. She properly adopted her and raised her as her own. 

"Thank you, sweetie." she went to her hug and she gave her a soft hug in return." everybody cooed in the room watching Dr. King and April interact with each other.

"Why are we still standing here? Let's have some fun." the music came on and they began to enjoy each other's company. This is what April lives for. Having a good time doing what she does best.
