Wedding & Baby Stories Masterlist
Tobias & Casey Complete Masterlist
My Full Masterlist
Casey was hunched over a pile of paperwork in the diagnostic team’s office. She was so engrossed that the world around her disappeared. That included one overly exuberant Dr. Bryce Lahella… exuberant even for him.
Life had been more than good to him in recent years, and it seemed to be at an all-time. His career was soaring. Recently named the Porter Mitchell Surgical Resident of the Year, doors he never imagined opening were now firmly within his reach. Since arriving in Boston, he found something he had always yearned for, a true, loving found family. And this weekend, he would be presiding over the wedding of two of his closest “family members.”
He thought Tobias and Casey were joking when they initially asked him but was thrilled to learn they were serious. It was an honor he didn’t take likely. Besides, with his self-assured manner, he knew he’d hit it out of the park. He’d be sentimental, funny, charming… and handsome as hell. When Casey asked him if he’d be bringing a date, he declined.
“Nope. Next to your fiance, I am going to be the man of the hour!” He winked. “I’ll be fighting potential suitors off of me… it would be unfair to deny them the opportunity!”
Casey muttered something about it being no wonder he and Tobias were such good friends before walking away. But it was two months later now, and a lot had changed. Yeah. Life had been very good to Bryce Lahela.
“Hey, Casey-cakes!” he exclaimed, approaching her, causing her to startle in his wake.
“For God’s sake, Bryce! Don’t scare me like that!”
“Sorry,” he peered over her at her laptop screen. “I forget some people get so caught up in paracoccidioidomycosis that they don’t notice when a ravishingly handsome young surgeon enters the room.”
“Seriously, Lahela. A, you would be equally enthralled with reading about the Versuis technique. And, B, as ravishingly handsome as you are, you know I only have eyes for one super hot doctor in this hospital… and it’s not you.”
“Well, thank God for that. Tobias couldn’t take this competition.”
Casey burst out laughing. “So, to what do I owe the pleasure of this visit. You have questions about Saturday?”
“Nope,” he assured. “I have the ceremony down pat. It’s going to be amazing, Casey. The best-looking bride and groom in the history of Boston, and me as officiant. This weekend's rising temperature will have nothing to do with global warming!”
“Yes, yes, I know,” she rolled her eyes. “Hence, you’re going stag and will fight everyone off at the reception.”
“Actually,” he sang. “That’s why I came to see you.”
“No, Bryce. I won’t give you a list of single guests, and I won’t tell you which ones are the hottest.”
“I’m glad to hear that because that’s not what I wanted to talk to you about.”
“Oh?”
“I was going to see if I could still bring a plus one.”
“Ooooh! Is there something you haven’t told me? You were quite excited about flying solo Saturday!”
Bryce walked to the door, looking outside before shutting it behind him and returning to Casey.
“I’ve been seeing someone,” he whispered. Based on the genuine grin that followed, Casey knew this was something big.
“Oh, have you! Tell me more!”
“I’ve kept it quiet because she’s really special, and I wanted to make sure this would work before going public.”
“Wait! So are you official!” Casey smacked his arm. “You’re official, and this is the first time I’m learning of this!”
“Ow!” Bryce yelled. “Does Tobias know how hard you hit.”
“Yes!” She smirked. “He rather likes it… if I must say so myself.”
Bryce pulled out his phone and made a note, “OK, that’s going into the ceremony now.”
“Bryce,” Casey laughed, “back to the point!”
“We’re not officially official yet, but if all goes well, we will be very soon, and I’d love to bring her to the wedding.”
Casey squealed with delight. “Of course! This is so exciting! Who is she? Do I know her?”
“You know her, but I’d like to hold off on telling you for a couple days?”
“Bryce Lahela! Don’t you trust me by now? You know I won’t tell a soul! You’re the only one who knows Tobias and I already got hitched secretly; I trusted you!”
“I’m your officiant, Casey! I had to handle the paperwork! You had no choice.”
She crossed her arms with a huff. “I would have told you anyway! Now, come on, tell me.”
“How about this? I’ll tell you… on Saturday, when I walk in with her on my arm.”
“I hate you, Bryce. I should deny you the extra invite.”
“You can’t do that because if you do, the shit I will include in your ceremony will make all your parent's hair stand on edge.”
“Fine!” Casey relented with a laugh. “But, can you tell me if I know her at least?”
“You do,” he grinned. “She works here, and that’s all I’m saying.”
“It’s not Brenda from Accounting. Is it? I can’t stand Brenda from Accounting.”
“Negative! I told you it was only one date.”
“It’s not Audrey… right? Tell me it’s not Audrey.”
“No,” he laughed. “I would know better than to bring her to your wedding.”
“I would hope you’d know better than to date her. OK, Lahela, I’ll take the surprise on Saturday, but I’m snooping! I’ll figure it out way before then.”
“Yeah,” Bryce replied while walking to the door, looking back with a quick wink. “Good luck with that.”
~~~~~
He wasn’t out of the office for more than five minutes before Casey was on a quest. Her first target was her own beloved fiance.
“Hello gorgeous,” he drawled, entering the office.
“Oh, thank God you’re here!”
Tobias raised a brow. “Really? Want me to lock the door? I thought we said no fooling around at work until your morning sickness passed, but if you insist….”
“Not that!” Casey giggled.
“Damn! Then what?”
“It’s Bryce. Has he seemed… different to you lately?”
“He’s been awfully happy. I figured he was looking forward to being the belle of the ball at our wedding reception. Considering he and Ethan are the only single men invited, he may honestly have a chance.”
“That’s the thing! He just asked if he could bring a date!”
“Really? Any idea who?”
“No, that’s why I’m asking you. All he would say is I know her, and she works at the hospital.”
“Got me? It’s not Audrey, is it? Tell me it’s not Audrey.”
“No,” Casey laughed, “I already cleared that.”
“Good. So I’m sure you’ll be snooping to figure it out?”
“Damn straight! In fact,” she stood from her desk, “I’m going to question Sienna right now.”
~~~~~
Casey found her best friend, slash, harried maid of honor, in the break room.
“Si!” She yelled.
“What? The cake is being delivered at 5:45. I took care of it! And the rehearsal dinner is under control! Even if Vivian is driving me crazy, I told her….”
“Si! Si!!” Casey grabbed her friend's hands. “Calm down. You’re more nervous about the wedding than I am!”
“I just want it to be perfect!”
“It will be. But that’s not why I’m here to see you. I know I’ve been a bit removed lately, what with the wedding,” she looked around to make sure they were alone, “and the baby. But is there any tea among our friends I’m unaware of?”
Sienna scrunched her brow, giving the question serious thought. “No. Besides, we have lunch every day, and if there is good tea, I’m spilling it.”
“I know,” Casey sighed. “Has Bryce been seeing anyone that you know of?”
“Well, it’s Bryce,” Sienna shrugged. “He’s usually seeing someone. But he hasn’t mentioned anyone lately. Unless….”
Casey’s ears perked up. “Unless what?”
“Bryce could be a Herbie.”
“A what?”
“Herbie. My cousin. He was a real ladies' man! He'd always go on dates and brag about them left and right. Then, one day, we noticed he hadn’t done so for quite a while. We wondered why, then, a month later, he introduced us to Mary. She’s now his wife. Once he was serious, he was quiet as a mouse until he was sure. Maybe Bryce is a Herbie?”
Sienna’s statement put her over the edge, and Casey discreetly questioned anyone she could that afternoon…. Without success…. Finally, she and Tobias held hands in the elevator as they left work for the day.
“I can’t believe I haven’t figured it out,” Casey sighed, “I hope pregnancy hasn’t made me lose my touch.”
“Your touch is fine,” Tobias chuckled. “You’ll just have to be patient and wait until Saturday.”
“I don’t want to! And tell me you’re not curious!”
“Of course I am, but I can live with waiting.”
The bell rang when they hit the fourth floor, and when the door opened, a beautiful redhead with a smile that could only be rivaled by one cheeky surgeon entered.
“Oh, hey, Liv,” Casey beamed.
“Casey! How are you?”
“I’m doing great. Have you officially met my fiance?”
“I can’t say I have.”
“Then let’s correct that! Olivia, this is my fiance Tobias. Tobias, this is Olivia. She’s the pediatrics resident I was telling you about.”
“Ah, Casey’s new friend!” Tobias smiled with an extended hand. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, too. And Casey may have gushed over you at least a dozen times since we met.”
“What?” Tobias gasped. “Only a dozen? See what happens when you put a ring on it?”
“I need to get to know her better first, baby,” Casey laughed. “I like her and don’t want to scare her away.”
“I appreciate that,” Liv blushed. “But I’m so happy I ran into you. I know this may seem weird, but I’m going to your wedding Saturday.”
“You are?” Casey blinked.
“Yeah! Dr. Lahela asked if I’d go with him, and of course, I said yes! I am so excited!”
Tobias and Casey exchanged a knowing look as a simirk came to Tobias’s lips.
“As are we,” he replied.
“Absolutely!” Casey enthused. “This is wonderful! We had to keep our list small, but I’m so glad you’ll be able to be there!”
The bell for the first floor rang. “Well, this is me, but I can’t wait! We’re still on for coffee tomorrow, right, Casey?”
“Wouldn’t miss it!”
The elevator doors had barely shut, and Tobias had his phone in his hand. “Where and when on the coffee?”
“6:00 at Derry’s. Why”
Tobias held up a finger after dialing.
“Bryce! How are you doing? Listen, are you free to go over some wedding stuff tomorrow? Oh, you are! Great! How about right after work, at Derry’s. Perfect! I’ll see you then!”
Casey couldn’t contain her grin when Tobias hung up and looked her way. “You’re an evil genius!”
A self-satisfied smile let her know he agreed. “You like that, huh?”
“I do,” she said, caressing his lapel. “I am honestly so turned on right now.”
“Really?” He wagged his eyebrows. “Wanna make out in the elevator?”
“We’re almost at our floor,” Casey giggled as he quickly pecked her cheek. “But we could make out in the car before we leave.”
“Deal,” he smiled as they stepped into the parking garage. “I will be forever grateful Bryce suggested getting those tinted windows.”
"That was Bryce's suggestion?"
"Yeah!"
"And this is how we're going to thank him?"
Tobias let out a little snicker. "He'd expect nothing less!"

Sunday Six 9-11-2022
So, writing has been a bit of a struggle lately. Sometimes ADHD is great for the creative process; sometimes, it's not. Lately, it's not. Confession: I feel like I've been disappointing my readers because I've gotten stuck on some series. Really, it sounds stupid, but the guilt eats at me sometimes. So I've been pushing myself to work on chapters, even when I'm just not feeling it. Then, they don't seem good, so I scrap them and start over. It's been a vicious cycle. I have too many series open right now (see ADHD comment above), and I have to recenter. They're all going to be finished, but for now, I think I have to write where my heart and my head are and not be so worried about "...but you need to get the next chapter of xxx out." So, in that vein, I'm going to give you very short peeks at some projects inspiring me right now. They're in the works; they'll be out soon. I ask you to please be patient with me as I work on the rest. You guys are great! ** Thank you **
Sneak peeks below:
Graduation Day | Ethan Ramsey, Tobias Carrick
The walls were beginning to close in. This wasn't the way it was supposed to be.
"Tobias!" her knuckles wrapped against the door, louder by the second. "Open this damn door. You know I'm not leaving until you do!"
A puff of air shot from his nose as his head shook, tossing the tie he had long since given up on tying across the room. This wasn't how it was supposed to be.
Promises | Tobias Carrick, Ethan Ramsey, Bryce Lahella, Peter MacTavish (OC)
This wasn't his main watering hole, but he was familiar nevertheless. He must have walked in here dozens of times in recent years, always with his casual, nonchalant swagger. But today was different.
His eyes met name's, sitting at the end of the bar, and his signature smile spread on his face. It became a bit forced when he realized it wasn't returned. This is why he normally didn't do these things, but this time, it was worth it. Of that he was sure of it.
Untitled | Ethan Ramsey x F!MC (Kaycee MacClennan)
The other side of the phone went silent.
"Kaycee, are you there?"
She was there, at least in body. Standing in their kitchen with her head flung back, she fixated on the receding lights in the ceiling. Perhaps they would help keep her from losing her mind. Her arms hanging low at her side, Ethan's voice emanating from her phone. She knew he wouldn't hang up, so, wearily, she lifted it back to her ear.
"I'm here," she answered, "where else would I be?"
That's all folks.
I know I owe you a lot - and I promise I'll get to it. Thanks for being patient with me! 😘
