Eric doesn't hate shots, he hates certain aspects of the shot. Julia's shot was actually the best one he has ever had. Gina's made him jerk a bit because it was very abrupt and near where his stitches would be. Eric is eagerly waiting for his next one with almost guilty pleasure. He is naked wearing a thin gown and is feeling helpless and in pain waiting for his caregivers to make him all better.

Laura and Gina's emotional support is key to making him feel safe, loved and deserving of relief. Gina did a lovely job reassuring Eric Julia would approve and that she is well on her way back to being safe and healthy herself. And Laura's gentle presence and touch is a beautiful reminder of Julia's good nature as well. Eric is actually savoring the pain, knowing once Gina exposes his butt it will slowly fade away and he will have some rest.

Gina's voice is angelic and Eric closes his eyes to enjoy the moment," Sorry, sorry, I'm back, someone is hiding things in the wrong cabinet again." Laura gently strokes Eric's hand and Gina plunges the needle in his hip.

"L, O, is quite alright if I pop meself in fur a moment?"

Gina seems quite agitated as she finishes delivering the medicine partially aggravated she didn't close the privacy curtain, "With a patient!!!"

The three women giggle at Eric's quick witted remark, "It's ok, you can come in. I believe I read in some hospital magazine or saw it in a medical documentary that if you moon a female medical worker when you first meet her she will be extra sweet and gentle."

Gina gives Claire the side eye, "Well, your bum actually does look quite nice, very handsome, actually. I was hoping we could have a bit of a chat."

Gina gently covers his bottom up with his hospital gown as Laura adjusts his pillow and lifts up his sheet, "Actually, MY patient needs some rest and perhaps this conversation can be had when he wakes up."

"Actually, I love her accent and her charming compliments. This might be the best lullaby I have ever had. Ma'am?"

Claire walks up to Eric's nervously alternating pulling one index finger then the other, "I do believe, your fatha contacted an agency for sum one with xperience as a narse with hospice and sum physical therapy axperience. They wanted us to meet farst to see if it was a go."

Eric smiles sadly, but kindly, "Well, you are a lovely woman everything is good from my end."

"Really, just like that? Just want me to work with you straight away? No harsh judgments, criticisms or trial testing periods?"

Eric thinks a minute, "I guess I do want a sensitive kind nurse. Test question, you meet a new patient who is incredibly sad and is becoming relaxed and drowsy from a shot. Do you A. Ask him 20 questions about why he is sad and write it down on a chart. B. Tell him to hush and go to sleep or C. Say something beautifully British and give him a hug.

The three women chuckle and Laura playfully slaps his arm. "Oh Dear, I suppose if this chap was as charmin and handsome as you are I wouldn't have much of a choice now, would I?"

Claire reaches down gently squeezes his face and plants a kiss on his cheek. "Ding, ding, ding! Perfect score. I would have accepted B, but would have been pretty disappointed."

"How did he get so charmin? Must be his fatha!"

Gary walks in awkwardly and abruptly, "Dear Lord, I have died and gone to heaven? Three breathtaking beautiful women taking care of my son is this his dream or mine? I have to paint all of you now."

All three women are bursting out in girl giggles, even Laura who has tears still running down her face. Eric points at his Dad, "Dad, you did it! You cracked the code. Grand entrance, heartfelt compliment and wishing to capture it real time. Dad seriously...Grand entrance, compliment, capture it in real time.

Gina laughs, "I better go, father and son are consorting how to seductively deceive all women. I am not brave of enough for this."

Eric looks to be in complete ecstacy, "Then leave beautiful enchantress for I have won the heart of the most beautiful Goddess in the universe and your powers of intimidation and butt injection potions have no holdeth over mine eyes or mind." Laura pats Eric's chest soothingly trying to put him to sleep and Gary paces the hospital room repeating his new mantra... Grand entrance, compliment, capture in real time.
