Heart [Andrew Reidy Reid]

Heart [Andrew ‘Reidy’ Reid]

Description: Y/N is Reidy's daughter, and she has a heart condition.

Warnings: Cursing? I think that is it.

"Hey Y/N/N wanna race in?" Harries asks with a big, playful smile.

Y/N, Harries and Maxi were all out in the water taking advantage of the beautiful weather. Bondi has been quiet all day and Reidy had brought his favorite, and only, girl down to hang out with her favorite guys.

Y/N Reid was born with Congenital Heart Disease, where her heart has holes in it, and if her heart rate gets too high, she can't breathe.

Her mother didn't want to deal with it, so she left. Leaving Reidy alone with his sick baby girl, but he'd never have it any other way.

Reidy is obsessed with his now, teenage daughter. Y/N is the light of his life and keeps him motivated to be the man he is. She is his favorite person, so that means Reidy is quite protective over her, and when she hangs out with two of Waverley Councils goofiest lifeguards, he has strict rules.

One. Don't go too far out.

Two. Stay away from the twins and flat rock.

Three. Don't go swim in a rip.

Four. Don't overwork herself.

Maxi and Harries love to go out and paddle with Y/N, because she can give them both a run for their money.

"What does the winner get?" Maxi asks.

"Nothing, but maybe a laugh at the losers." Harries replies. The younger two of the three laugh loudly before agreeing.

They made a starting line and counted down from five.

"Five. Four. Three. Two. One!"

They took off paddling as hard as they could, all three of them looking back every few meters to look for waves to speed it up.

Once they’re two hundred meters from shore Y/N's heart starts racing and she starts slowing down. She knew she had to try and slow her heart rate, or else it would be bad.

After stopping for a few seconds and waiting, her heart continues to pick up its pace, so she called out to the boys.

"Guys!" Her voice was quiet amongst the sound of the ocean.

They didn’t hear her.

§§§

Reidy had gone across the road to the locker rooms, and he had told Hoppo to keep an eye on Y/N, so when Hoppo saw Y/N stop and lie her head down on the board, he knew exactly what would happen.

He left Gonzo in the tower and took one of the rhinos down to the waters edge. He didn’t wait and see if she could make it in, he just grabbed the board and went.

He passed Maxi and Harries who seemed confused, and they turned around to see Y/N laying on her board, floating with it.

"Shit! Maxi did she yell for us?!" Harries exclaims while turning around to paddle back out.

"I didn’t hear her!" Maxi replies as he does the same.

Hoppo reaches Y/N and grabs her hand.

"Just breathe. You’ll be alright." He gets Y/N on his board and unhooks the leg rope from her board. He sits there with her for a few moments. Breathing with her and trying to get her to calm down. It works a little bit, but not all the way.

Hoppo has known Y/N since she was a toddler. When Reidy first started working at Bondi he would always bring her around when he couldn’t get someone to watch her, so she’d hang out in the tower with everyone.

All of the lifeguards love having her there. She’s like their little peak of sunshine on rainy days, so when she’d start having trouble breathing like she is now. They’d all be trying to help her and get her anything she wanted or needed, which most of the time was her dad.

When Reidy came back to the tower and saw Hoppo out on the board with his daughter he immediately sprinted down there and made it in time to help her onto the sand.

Reidy sat behind her while Harries got the oxygen mask for her to breathe into.

"Here sweetheart. Breathe into this." Reidy puts the mask over her nose and mouth and lets her breathe carbon dioxide. They all sit by her while Reidy rocks them both side to side and strokes her hair.

After a few minutes her heart rate is in normal range and she feels better.

"You feeling better now?" Hoppo asks.

"Yeah, just tired." Y/N answers and takes the sweatshirt Maxi is handing her. "Thank you guys."

"Don’t thank us. We’d do anything for you, we love you." Harries gives her a bear hug.

"Well, I love you guys too."

Residents [Grayson Dolan]

Description: Y/N and Grayson are both Pediatric Senior Residents.

Warnings: Lacerations, stitches.

Y/N walks down the hall in the Pediatrics wing at the practice she works at. She's worked here for three years, straight out of medical school. She was in the middle of answering her sisters question about her two year old nieces cough when she ran into a wall, but the wall grabs her before she crashes to the floor.

"Shit. I'm so sorry." The wall says. She looks up at what she first thought was a wall and sees an attractive man looking back at her. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm ok. Probably shouldn't be texting and walking." She says and shoves her phone in the pocket of her scrub top.

"You a Doctor here?" The man asks.

"Yeah. Pediatrics Senior Resident."

"Me too. My name's Grayson Dolan, I just transferred here from the hospital." Grayson says. He puts his hand out for her to shake, and she accepts.

"Y/N Y/L/N. I was actually just going up to reception to show you around."

"Well it looks like I found you first."

§§§

"Hey, you wanna come with me to see my patient in Two? He's got two lacerations from running into a window and he's pretty upset." Grayson asks as he leans up against the counter besides Y/N.

"Yeah, sure." She follows him into the exam room and sees a little boy on the bed, curled up with his mom by his side.

"Mrs. Shaw. This is Doctor Y/L/N. She's the other Senior Resident here, and she's going to help me stitch Liam up, so it goes as quick as possible. Alright?" Mrs.Shaw nods and Y/N grabs a suture kit, some lidocaine and some gloves.

"Hi, Liam. My name is Y/N. How are you feeling?" She sits on the stool next to him.

"Owie." Liam cries.

"I know sweetheart, but me and Grayson are going to make you all better, but to do that I need to give you a tiny shot." She squeezes her fingers close together to exaggerate how small the needle is. "But I have a friend to keep you company while it's being done." She pulls a stuffed tiger out of her scrub pocket. "This is Tiggy. He's super strong and really nice, so I want you to hold onto him for me, ok?" Liam nods and cuddles Tiggy. Y/N looks over at Grayson and nods to say she's ready. Grayson nods back so she turns to Liam. "Alright bud, two tiny pinches. Right- now."

They both inject the numbing medication and Liam barely notices.

"Alright. Now we are going to fix you up bud." Grayson says as he puts the syringe down on the table. Y/N does the same and grabs her suture kit.

"Liam, you're doing really good sweetie, I'm proud of you. I'd be crying like a baby if I had an owie like this." Y/N says to the small boy. Liam smiles at her and cuddles into his mom.

Once they finish getting Liam fixed up both doctors walk the mother and son to check out, where the treasure box is.

Y/N takes Liam over to it while Grayson talks with the receptionist and Mrs. Shaw about getting his stitches out. She squats down to his level and opens the treasure box.

"Tell you what, since you are the toughest boy I've ever met, you can get two treasures." Liam's smile shines when she tells him that. "It'll be our secret, ok?" Liam nods and pick out a stuffed tiger, just like Tiggy and a coloring book.

"Thank you." Liam gives her a hug and Y/N beams.

"You're welcome. I'll see you when you come back ok?" Liam nods and they all say goodbye, but Liam turns back.

"Bye Tiggy!" Liam waves.

Once they get back to the Doctors Station Grayson leans on the counter and watches Y/N do paperwork.

"So, as a thank you for your help, would you like to go out for dinner tonight?" Grayson asks. Y/N looks up and smiles.

"Sure, here's my address." She says as she writes on a sticky note and hands it to him. "I've got to go examine some babies at the hospital, so I'll see you tonight." She grabs her stuff and walks over to him. She presses a kiss to his cheek. "Bye Doctor Dolan."

"Bye Doctor Y/L/N."

§§§

After Y/N finished seeing all of the newborn babies that are now her patients, she went home to get ready.

It was seven thirty when her doorbell went off. She grabbed her bag and walked to the door to answer it, and she was greeted by a handsome man with beautiful flowers.

"Grayson, these flowers are beautiful." Y/N smiles to him and takes them from him so she can put them in a vase. She gestures for him to follow and he shuts the door behind him.

He takes a look around her house. It looks exactly like he'd pictured it. Clean, cozy and warm. It also smelled like her, which he loved, because she smells amazing.

"So, where are we going?" Y/N asks, pulling him out of his trance.

"It's a surprise." Grayson replies, mischievous smile etched onto his face.

"There better not be a clown." Y/N warns and points at him.

She'd told him about her fear of clowns, and Grayson was known for his little pranks, so she was somewhat scared about the surprise.

"I promise there are no clowns." Grayson chuckles.

§§§

Grayson had booked a rooftop table at a very popular Italian restaurant. He knew Italian was Y/N's favorite food because she always talked about how much she loved it. She ordered Carbonara, and Grayson ordered Tortellini, along with wine.

They spent the entire time talking to each other and admiring the view. No phones, nothing to distract them. They talked about their childhoods, things they liked and did not like and their experiences with college and medical school.

"How'd you know you wanted to be a Pediatrician?" Grayson asks as he refills their wine glasses.

"I've always loved kids, babysat my family's babies and neighbors kids all of the time, but I also really admired doctors and what they do. I figured I could just combine the two." Y/N answers. Grayson could've sworn he saw a twinkle in her eye while talking. "How about you Doctor Dolan? Why'd you become a Pediatrician?"

"I actually started out in med school thinking I was going to be a plastic surgeon, but on my first peds rotation I fell in love with it. I mean what's better than being around adorable babies all day?"

"True." Y/N laughs. "So plastic surgery? You wanted to do nose jobs?"

"Yeah, I always thought it was cool that you could help someone be confident with their body, but peds grabbed me by the ankle and didn't let go."

§§§

After dinner Grayson took Y/N for ice cream, then back to her house and walked her to the door.

"Thank you for taking me out for dinner Grayson. I had a really good time." Y/N says.

"You're welcome, and me too." Grayson smiles. He starts getting lost in his own world by looking at her, but realizes something. "I never told you how beautiful you look tonight.- I mean not just tonight-."

Y/N blushes and looks down at her feet while she smiles.

"It's ok, I get it." She chuckles. "Thank you, and you look quite handsome as well."

Grayson smiles and looks at his watch quickly. "Shit, it's already close to one. I should let you go to bed."

"Yeah, you don't have to be in until eleven. I have to go in at seven." Y/N giggles.

"Well, to make it up to you I'll bring you coffee." Grayson offers. Y/N smiles and nods. "I'll see you at eleven sharp. Don't miss me too much."

"Shut up, you weirdo." Grayson and Y/N both laugh.

"Ok, seriously. I'm going to go home and you're going to go to bed. I had an amazing time tonight and I'd really like to take you out again."

"Yeah, of course. I'd love to." Y/N replies.

Grayson smiles and leans in. He presses a quick kiss to her cheek and starts walking away.

"Goodnight Doctor Y/L/N!"

"Goodnight Doctor Dolan!"

Broken Hearts Club [Kelly Severide]

Description: Kelly Severide has made Y/N an official member of the Broken Hearts Club.

Warnings: Cheating, Cursing (are we surprised? no. ok.)

Y/N and Kelly had been dating for a year before Stella Kidd showed up. Stella was a absolute goddess. Beautiful hair, perfect smile, amazing personality and excellent firefighter skills. What was there not to love? Kelly obviously took notice of her, and even started to hang out with her instead of his girlfriend.

Y/N thought it might've been because she was new, and she was a firefighter, instead of a paramedic like Y/N, so they had plenty in common, but when Kelly started canceling on Y/N she grew suspicious.

Gabby and Y/N had gone out for drinks one night after they got off work. Gabby had a falling out with Matt, and she was currently staying with Y/N, so they figured they’d go get dinner and drinks together. Y/N was supposed to have dinner with Kelly, but of course, he canceled last minute.

"I heard Ambo 52 had a guy with a python biting his arm and it wrapped around his arm. Kristy and Zach were too afraid to touch the snake." Gabby says as they walk down the sidewalk. Y/N briefly chuckles at the story before going back to her somber mood. Gabby turns her head towards Y/N and her heart breaks for her. She knew how much Y/N loved Kelly, but she also knew how much of an asshole he'd been the past two months. "Hey, why don't we stop by and see Severide. He said he had to help Kidd with something at Molly's right?" Y/N nods.

"Yeah. Something about fixing the wall and shelves, or hanging shelves on the wall? I'm not sure. The phone call only lasted like forty seconds."

"Then let's go." Gabby says and loops her arm with Y/N's before heading towards Molly's.

§§§

Once they make it to the bar, they say hello to everyone they know before heading over to Otis.

"Hey Otis." Y/N says.

"Hey guys, what's up." He replies as he cleans a glass.

"We stopped by to see Severide, any idea where he is?" Gabby asks as she sits on a barstool.

"He should be in the back putting up a shelf. He asked Stella to hold it up for him." Otis says and nods his head to the back room. Y/N nods.

"Ok, can I have four beers?" She passes him a twenty dollar bill and Otis grabs four beers for her. "I'm going to take one to Kelly and Stella. I'll be back." Y/N grabs two beers and starts walking to the back.

She enters the hallway and notices that she can't hear any voices, or tools. She thought they might be concentrating, trying to get the shelf level, or they aren't even back there.

She couldn't have been any more wrong.

She steps in the open doorway and looks at the sight in front of her. Kelly has Stella pinned up against the wall, their lips pressed together. Once her head catches up with her eyes, she drops the beers and gasps. Stella pulls away and catches Y/N's eyes.

"Kel-Kelly." By time he pulled away, Y/N had already turned around and started towards the bar. She grabs the beer she ordered and walks out the door before anyone can ask her anything.

Kelly runs down the hall and meets Gabby and Otis' confused faces. When Gabby sees Kelly's appearance she immediately knows what's going on.

"Where'd she go?" Kelly asks. Gabby stands up and moves in his way.

"Just stop. I think you've done enough." Then Gabby grabs her beer and follows Y/N out the door.

Kelly watches as the door slams shut. He knew he fucked up when he saw the look on Gabby's face.

"Damnit!" He yells and kicks a barstool before turning back and going down the hall.

§§§

Gabby sat down next to Y/N on the curb. She took one look at her eyes and immediately knew how much this has hurt her. Mentally and emotionally. They sit there in silence while tears roll down Y/N's face.

"I thought he loved me." Y/N sobs. Gabby wraps her arm around Y/N and lets her lean her head on her shoulder.

Welcome to the Broken Hearts Club Y/N.

Relocate [Anthony Glick]

Description: Y/N is a NSW Sprint Paramedic, she gets called to Bondi for a dislocated shoulder and is met by a very loopy patient, who is also a lifeguard.

Warnings: Dislocated Shoulder.

Y/N was driving around New South Wales, pretty close to Bondi Beach. It had been extremely hot all day, and she'd been sent to Bronte, Maroubra, and Tamarama multiple times for medical calls, along with others she'd been dispatched to throughout the area. She was surprised she hadn't gone to Bondi yet, but her thoughts halted when the tones dropped.

"NSW Sprint Twelve, Bondi Beach. Twenty-six year old male. Dislocated shoulder." The dispatcher says.

Y/N grabs her radio and keys it up, while simultaneously turning her lights and sirens on.

"NSW Sprint Twelve is clear and en route." She replies.

§§§

Glick had been on the Jet Ski for three hours. He'd pulled in at least a hundred people and was tired, so when he got the all clear from senior lifeguards to beach the ski, he went straight for it.

His right shoulder payed the price.

While beaching the ski, you have to also cut the engine, and while doing that Glick rammed his shoulder into handle.

Jesse, who was in the rhino waiting for Glick so they could pack up the jet ski heard the horrendous pop, and the string of curse words that flew from Glick's mouth. He jumped out and went over to his friend, who was now leaning over.

"You alright?" Jesse asks.

"I think I dislocated my shoulder." Glick groans.

Jesse grabs his radio and keys it up. "Jesse to Central, Glicky just dislocated his shoulder, call an Ambo."

"Alright Jess bring him up and we'll get him the green whistle."

§§§

Y/N parked her SUV and grabbed her bag.

"NSW Sprint Twelve to NSW Dispatch, put me on scene, Bondi Beach." She says unto her radio and locks the SUV before clipping the radio to her pants and walking towards the lifeguard standing at the stairs waiting for her.

"Y/N, nice to see you again." Jake says.

"Nice to see you too, so how'd our patient dislocate his shoulder?" She asks.

"Oh you'll never believe this. I'll let you find out for yourself." Jake smirks.

They walk into the tower and out onto the overlook to see Glick sitting in a chair with the green whistle in his mouth.

"Ah! One of our favorites! Look Glicky, the shoulder specialist is here!" Jesse says.

"Anthony, what did you do?" Y/N asks as she bends down to examine his shoulder.

"He was beaching the ski." Jake responds, faster than Glick could even process what she'd asked.

"I hit the handle bars and it just made this horrible sound and started to hurt." Y/N nods and feels his shoulder a bit more.

"Alright, how bad is your pain?"

"Like a seven."

"You think you can handle a relocation with just the green whistle or do you want some morphine?"

"I vote morphine." Jesse says. Jake nods in agreement.

"Morphine." Glick responds.

"Just keep breathing in the green whistle, and once your IV is in and working we'll start."

She puts a tourniquet on his bicep and cleans the area before grabbing a kit and morphine. She draws up the morphine and sets it aside. She gets the IV in and administers the morphine, which starts working quickly. She grabs Glick's hand in hers and starts feeling his shoulder again, trying to make the muscles relax, and also figuring out which way would work the best to get it back in. His muscles are tense.

"Anthony I need you to relax your muscles. That's the only way this is going to work." Y/N says as she rubs his arm.

"I can't relax, I'm nervous." Glick slurs.

"Why are you nervous, Glicky?" Jake asks.

"Because there is a beautiful paramedic touching my arm." The boys and the crew filming a Bondi Rescue laugh. Glick didn't even realize what he said. The comment also made Y/N's cheek turn a bit red.

"Just look at Jess then." Glick looks over at Jesse and then gives Jake a weird look for his comment.

"I know she's still there." Glick says.

"Would you be more comfortable laying down?" Y/N asks. Glick nods. "Could you guys get your bed flat for me?" Jake goes off to get the bed ready and Jesse carries her stuff into the tower while Y/N walks with Glick.

He lays down on the bed and Y/N feels his muscles relax. Now that she can attempt to relocate Glick's shoulder, she decides to use Kocher's Method. She bends his arm at the elbow and rests it against his side. She grabs his hand an starts to externally rotate it. Once she feels resistance she lifts his arm into the sagittal plane, then internally rotates it towards his other side.

Glick's shoulder pops back in, just as loud as it popped out. All of his pain goes away and he sobers up. Y/N rests his hand on his other shoulder and makes sure he doesn't move it for a few seconds.

"Damn you're good." Glick says. Everyone in the tower chuckles.

"How's your pain now?"

"Zero." Y/N smiles and makes him a sling for his trip to the hospital.

"So Glicky does Y/N still make you nervous?" Jesse asks. Glick's face turns red and his expression makes Jake and Jesse laugh.

"What?"

"You were nervous and couldn't relax because there was a beautiful paramedic touching your arm." Jesse chuckles, Jake does as well.

Glick groans and Y/N laughs as she gets a sling made for him. She puts his arm in the fabric and then ties it behind his neck so he doesn't have to keep it there himself.

"So are you guys going to exchange numbers or something?" Jake pushes.

Glick's face turns as red as a fire truck and Y/N just laughs.

§§§

Once the other paramedics arrive to take Glick to the hospital, Y/N walks him to the ambulance.

"Thank you for fixing my shoulder." Glick says.

"Yeah, no problem. Be careful beaching that jet ski next time." Y/N jokes. Glick smiles and nods. "Well, I'm sure I'll see you soon. Bye Anthony." She squeezes his hand and slips a paper in it at the same time.

"Bye Y/N."

She closes the door once the paramedic jumps in the back and then wake back to her SUV.

Glick opens his hand and looks at the paper.

(01) 2345 6789 - Y/N :)

Competition [Ryan Yerbury]

Description: Ryan meets Mick Fanning’s daughter, and is quite smitten with her.

Warnings: Close encounter with a shark. PTSD behavior.

All of the lifeguards were in the tower, getting their assignments. Today, Bondi Beach was closed for a surfing competition, and all of the guys were helping out.

"Ryan, you're towing and patrolling on the Jet Ski for Mick Fanning's team." Hoppo says. Ryan nods with a smile on his face. He was excited to meet Mick, considering he'd been a fan for a while. He was also excited to meet Mick's eighteen year old daughter, Y/N Fanning. He'd always thought she was beautiful and absolutely amazing in the water. Of course Ryan's older cousin, Trent Maxwell, also known as "Maxi" knew about his crush. With Maxi also being a lifeguard he was bound and determined to introduce Y/N and Ryan.

Maxi had met Y/N and Mick multiple times and knew she was a great girl, so he wasn't worried about her. He was worried about how Ryan was likely to be a klutz and embarrass himself.

§§§

"I think we'll do good." Y/N says as she sets her surfboard on the ground. She needed to clean the old wax off and put a new coat on.

"Yeah. Hopefully we win, and then we can celebrate after this." Mick says as he puts the teams assigned white rash guard on.

"How do you want to celebrate if we win?" Y/N asks as she cleans the old wax off.

"Probably a barbecue. Then we can get ice cream after." Mick smiles.

Maxi stops in front of the two and smiles. "Wow, Mick. You sure do know the way to a guys heart." Maxi puts his hand over his heart and pretends to swoon.

"Maxi! Mate, how are you?" Mick hugs Maxi and Y/N gets up to do the same.

"I'm great!" Maxi beams. He wraps his arms around Y/N and gives her a bear hug. "Have you gotten taller?!"

"Shut up, you tree!" Y/N laughs. Maxi puts her down and turns his attention to Ryan, who is standing off to the side.

"Mick, Y/N. This is my cousin Ryan. He's a lifeguard here and is actually manning the Jet Ski for you guys."

"Ah, we'll be in good hands then." Mick shakes Ryan's hand. Ryan nods.

"It's nice to meet you Ryan. How long have you been a lifeguard?" Y/N asks.

"It's nice to meet you too, and it’s my second year here."

"The guys being good to you? Especially this one?" Y/N gets back on the ground and continues to get her board ready.

"Yeah-. Isn't that the board you won your first competition with?" Ryan asks. Y/N smiles up at him and nods.

"Yeah, I've never lost a competition using this board." Y/N explains. "You surf?"

"Yeah, not like you guys do, but I love it." Ryan replies and scratches the back of his neck.

"Well, maybe we could go surfing together sometime." Y/N suggests and stands up to wipe the sand off of her.

"I-I'd love to.- I mean, yeah, of course." Ryan's face turns red and Y/N chuckles.

"Cool, we'll talk more about that later, but I have to go get my rash guard." Y/N excuses herself and walks off.

"Did my daughter just ask you on a date?" Mick asks.

"I think she did." Maxi says.

"I'm not sure." Ryan sighs and watches Y/N as she scours through white rash guards.

Maxi and Mick laugh as Ryan stands there, confused about what had just happened.

§§§

"White Team. Koby Abberton, Joel Parkinson, Matt Wilkinson, Kelly Slater, Mick Fanning, Y/N Fanning." The announcer names off everyone from their respective teams.

After the announcing is done, the competition finally starts. One person from each team goes out and tries three times to get the best wave.

"Ladies first Y/N/N." Koby says. Y/N smiles and grabs her board.

"Good luck princess!" Mick yells. Y/N keeps running down to the shore and hops on the Jet Ski with Ryan.

"Ready to go?" Y/N nods and Ryan takes them out to the lineup. "Good luck!"

"Thanks!" Y/N jumps off the Jet Ski and onto her board.

§§§

Y/N had a perfect score her first time out, and now she is out at the lineup again. Some of the other surfers were talking about how they'd heard over some radios that there was a shark out in the bay. After her father getting attacked by a shark in South Africa, Y/N was absolutely terrified of any type of sharks. She knew they were probably trying to freak her out, or they were screwing around, but the thought was still in her head when she got up on a five foot wave.

She was about halfway through when something hit her board and tipped her, causing the wave to smash her. She heard the announcers and everyone on the beach gasp, then she heard the shark alarm. She looks around under the water as she starts swimming to the surface and shrieks when she sees a Tiger Shark swimming around. Her mind pauses for a second and replays the memory from South Africa. Those few seconds she couldn't see her dad, she thought the worst. She knew that was how her dad was feeling, but it was a hundred times worse.

She breaks the surface and sees Ryan speeding her way. She sits with her knees on the board, avoiding putting her limbs in the water.

"Everyone out of the water!" The announcer yells.

Ryan finally gets to her after what feels like years for him. He is relieved to see that she isn't injured, but she is freaked out.

"Are you ok?!" Ryan asks as he helps her onto the Jet Ski.

"Yeah. Yeah, I think so."

"Ok, hold on!" Ryan speeds to shore where Mick and a few of the lifeguards along with reporters are.

Once they get there Y/N jumps off and sprints to her dad. Mick wraps his arms around his daughter and lets out a sigh of relief. Now he knows how Y/N and his mother felt when he was attacked.

"You're ok? You didn't get bit or anything?" He pulls away and looks her over.

"No. I'm ok. Just freaked out." Y/N breathes. "I saw it and all I could think about was when I couldn't see you when you got attacked." She was shaking in fear, and had tears in her eyes.

"Alright let's go." A crowd had formed around them. Spectators and reporters mostly. The guys from their team were walking with them and the lifeguards were trying to make a path. One reporter grabs Y/N's arm and Ryan decides enough is enough.

"Hey! Let her go mate!" He exclaims and steps between them. "Have some respect. She doesn't want to talk to you." The reporter backs down and they finally make it through.

§§§

The competition was now over and it was dark. The White Team won and they were celebrating with their families and friends, including the lifeguards. Y/N had been quiet since the incident with the shark, and she was now sitting in the sand looking at the water.

"Thank you." Ryan turns to see Mick standing there.

"For what?" Ryan questions.

"For getting Y/N out of there and having her back with that reporter." Mick replies and joins Ryan in watching his daughter.

"You don't have to thank me."

"I do. If you weren't out there on that Jet Ski she would've been bit." Ryan nods. "You know, if you want to ask her out on a date I wouldn't be upset right? You're a good kid and I trust you."

"Really?" Ryan smiles.

"Yes really, and she wouldn't be upset either." Mick hints. He walks back to everyone else and Ryan decides to go to Y/N.

"You alright?" Ryan asks as he sits down next to her.

"Yeah." Y/N sighs. "Is it crazy that I want to go for a surf?" She turns to look at Ryan and they both start laughing.

"It's not crazy. It's like riding a bike. You fall off, but eventually you have to get back on." Y/N nods and smiles. "How about we go for that surf tomorrow? Bronte at ten? Then we can get something to eat after."

Y/N smiles at Ryan, "Yeah. I'd love that."

Wrapping Paper [Quinn Hughes] 🎄

Description: Quinn can't wrap gifts to save his life. Y/N is his neighbor and can help.

Warnings: Cursing.

A/N: Day 9 of 12 Days of Christmas!

"Mom, I have no idea what I am doing." Quinn whines to Ellen through the phone.

He's trying to wrap presents, and it's not going well.

"Well did you watch a video honey? Maybe that can help." Ellen suggests.

Quinn tries to pull the wrapping paper and accidentally rips it. "Damnit." He mumbles. "I did watch a video, it just doesn't work."

"Well, do you know anyone there that can help you?" She asks.

"None of the boys know how to." Quinn says, setting scissors down.

"How about Y/N? You guys always say that she knows how to fix and do everything."

Y/N is Quinn's neighbor and a photographer for the canucks. He has a tiny crush on her, but we don't talk about that.

"Mom. I am not asking Y/N to help me wrap presents." He sighs.

"Why not? She's always told you if you ever need anything just let her know." Ellen questions. She really didn't understand why he couldn't just ask Y/N for help. She's a really sweet girl.

"Because I'm twenty years old and this is embarrassing." He replies. He tosses the scissors on the carpeted floor and runs a hand through his hair. "Maybe I should just get bags."

Ellen laughs. "You do what you want honey, but I know Y/N will help you and not even question it."

"Ok mom." Quinn sighs, again. "Well I know it's late there so tell Luke and dad I love and miss them."

"I will. Goodbye Quinn, I love you."

"Love you too mom."

They hang up and Quinn looks around his living room, at all of the presents he needed to wrap.

"This is going to take forever."

"So Quinn, how is present wrapping going?" Brock asks after practice.

"It's been like three days and I only have two done slightly correct. So if that tells you anything." Quinn replies, taking his helmet off.

"Dude, just ask Y/N. Have you been to her place lately? She's got everything wrapped perfectly under her tree. I even had her wrap that one toy for my nephew."

Y/N walks over to the bench and greets everyone.

"Hey guys, were doing the Christmas pictures today just let me know when you want to start."

Everyone gives her a "ok" and she goes back to set up her camera to take pictures of the rest of practice.

After practice and the Christmas pictures and videos were all done Brock, Elias and Quinn were all walking to the vehicle they carpooled in to go home and play video games when they saw Y/N walking to her car.

So, as any teammate would, Brock decided to take advantage of it and help Quinn out.

"Hey Y/N!" He exclaims. Quinn shoved him and gave him a death glare while Elias just giggled. She turns around and stops to wait for them.

"Hey Brock, what's up?" She asks, shifting her bag on her shoulder.

"Could you help Quinny wrap his presents? He's struggling." Brock side eyes Quinn, who rolls his eyes.

"Yeah of course! Just let me know when you get home and I'll come over and help you?" She questions.

"Yeah! Thank you." Quinn shyly replies.

"No problem! You guys have fun playing video games." She says before she gets into her car and drives off.

"See Quinn. She's a sweetheart, you don't have to be afraid to talk to her." Brock chuckles, throwing his stuff in the car.

"I'm not afraid to talk to her." Quinn pouts.

"Yeah ok." Elias pipes in.

"Shut up Petey."

§§§

After getting home, Quinn texted Y/N and told her he was home and she replied a few minutes later saying she'd be over soon.

He looked around his apartment and decided to pick up stuff he'd thrown around randomly.

If only Jack and Luke could see him. They'd never let him hear the end of it. He can hear their voices in his head already.

"Quinn's got a crush."

"Quinn's whipped."

Whatever floats their boat.

His doorbell rang and he scanned around one last time to make sure it didn't look like a complete pigsty before opening it.

"Hey, thanks for coming over."

"You don't need to thank me. I've got brothers, I understand wrapping presents isn't really a guys thing." She laughs.

"Especially not mine." Quinn laughs with her.

§§§

After an hour, all of the presents were wrapped, labeled and decorated with bows. Y/N even sort of taught him how to wrap presents.

"I know you just taught me but I might just have to keep asking you to help me because I actually really like spending time with you." Quinn says, watching her write on a tag for Lukes gift.

"I like spending time with you too. You're a great person Quinn."

"Thank you. I think you're great too." He smiles. "So, would you maybe want to stay and watch a movie with me? I'll order us food." He offers.

"Yeah, that sounds great." She smiles.

Later after eating and while they were in the middle of the movie, Quinn gets a text.

Brock

So did your presents get wrapped Quinny?
