Chapter Text
The procedure had only taken a hour and bobby was prepared to take care of her. he had sent the kids, with athena's permission of course, to spend a few days with michael. the reason why is because she did want quote "As few people to see her puffy, pumpkin face as possible" and now here she was, next to him still giggly from the laughing gas. He knew that she was gonna remember any of this but he just could help but smile at her laugh. It was absolutely fucking adorable.
Athena let out a soft moan and her head lolled to the side.
"Almost done. Two more to go."
She felt so weird. Her body was heavy in some places and light as a feather in others. Another quiet moan left her mouth. She rasied her head up a little bit.
"Okay." The dentist approached her with the tools.
"Ow" Athena murmured loud enough for everyone to hear before she leaned her head back.
"Almost done" the dentist said
Athena groaned a little.
"It's okay. Hold on"
For some reason, that made Athena laugh. She burst out into a fit of giggles.
"One more to go" the surgical dentist said out loud.
He got the tools ready for the last extraction.
"Alright, ms. grant we have one mor-" athena put up her right hand, effectively cutting the surgical dentist off mid sentence. bobby snickered and suppressed his laugh.
"We are on a first name basis, now. I mean, come on. I let you inside of my mouth" Athena's talking was a little breathy because she couldn't stop laughing.
The other doctors in the room burst out into laughter and the surgical dentist tried (and failed) his amusement. "Okay, miss athena, we got one more to go" the dentist corrected himself, causing Athena to smile.
"Owww, hehehe, just kidding" Athena giggled as the doctor finished the last wisdom tooth extraction. Athena took a deep breath and suddenly felt a little sleepy. She hadn't even noticed that she had closed her eyes until she vaguely felt Bobby rubbing her hand.
"Stop it, sleeping" her voice was soft, slurred and was trailing off.
"It's over, athena" she perked up at this and smiled, the laughing gas mask still over her nose. she took bobby's hand and held it to her face
"I gotta go to work" athena got up and bobby stopped her dead in her tracks. he then positioned himself next to her, just in case she decided to take a little nap again.
"That is NOT happening" Bobby firmly declared, causing Athena to huffed and pout before giving up and laying her head on his shoulder. Bobby hoped that she was at least stay conscious until they got home, or at least until they had made it to the car. the doctors returned with a set list of instructions which included rinsing with salt water, what to do if the patient has dry socket and so on.
"Do you need a wheelchair for her, sir?" the dentist asked
"i got her, ready?" bobby said, turning his attention to athena, who was still laying her head on his shoulder. in response, she snuggled her head further into the crock of his shoulder and neck.
"Going to work?" Athena sleepily asked as she giggled softly
Bobby rolled his eyes playfully and just decided to go along with it. "Yeah, sure" he said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, earning a few chuckles from the dentist's and doctors who were in earshot of the two. This was going to be a challenge.
