*wilsons pov*

My hands just couldn’t stay still and felt the need to flick each finger constantly. Maybe they were nervous for what they knew they would be holding in a few minutes. I brought my hand down to my pocket, confirming the square shape that could be felt from outside the fabric.

I’d planned it all perfectly. Her favourite restaurant, the flowers. Even the new dress and shoes she currently adorned. She sat across from me looking as beautiful as ever. Her lips moved as she passionately discussed the recent case she’d been consulting on, but I couldn’t register any sound that escaped as I got lost in her eyes. I was mesmerised by her lips and the way they seemed to kiss each word that escaped them. Her hair looked unbelievably soft and I knew the subtle coconut smell that seeped through each lock. She was perfect. And she was mine.

“I’m so glad were doing this. As much as I love takeout and cuddling on the couch in sweats, it’s nice to dress up once in a while. Well, anything is better than scrubs.” She laugh melodiously.

“Well, you look very beautiful.”

“You think I look beautiful in scrubs.” She laughed incredulously.

“Well, you do, and super sexy.” I bit my lip thinking about my girl in those scrubs that fit her body like a glove. Hair scraped back, too focused on saving lives to worry about how it looks. It’s like knowing my girl is a superhero and seeing her in her costume; just so powerful and unbelievably sexy.

I’m knocked out of my thoughts when she leans over to caress my hand. “You need to stop that or we won’t make it to dessert.”

“I’m actually in the mood for something hot and sweet tonight.” She winked like the minx she is.

“I do have an ulterior motive for tonight.”

“If House walks in, I’m leaving right now-“

“No, he’s at a monster truck rally. I bought the tickets especially.”

“Good, we don’t need a repeat of last time. It’s like having a toddler with the humour of a 12-year-old boy.”

“Anyways as I was saying—”

A crashing sound reverberates around the whole restaurant and both our heads snap towards a table where a young boy had collapsed, pulling the table cloth with him. His mother jumps up to catch her son as he falls. She shrieks at the events that just transpired in front of her eyes. The mum yells and the dad announces to the restaurant…

“IS ANYONE HERE A DOCTOR?”

In perfect synchronisation, y/n and I rise to attention and both announce.

“We’re doctors.”

-x-x-x-x-x-

Y/n has just finished talking to the boy as the morphine takes him to sleep. She is still wearing her sleek black dress and red pumps, only now they’re covered by her lab coat. Is she trying to kill me. I join her, having also given up my dress coat for a lab coat. I couldn’t deny, we looked powerful together. Dressed to the nines, whilst saving a boy’s life.

“Simple allergic reaction.”

“Peanuts?”

“No, egg. I’ve never seen it develop this late.”

“Well, the parents are vegetarians so there’s a chance he’d never been exposed to it until now.”

“Thank god we were there.”

“No. Thank god you were there.” I lean down to kiss her nose as she scrunches it up. I love when she does that, she’s like a little bunny.

We walk towards the parents who have not stopped pacing since they entered the hospital. The mother hurriedly approaches us to meet us in the middle, whilst the father’s head remains hanging low.

“Mr and Mrs Carmichael, there is nothing to worry about, your son is fine now. He had an allergic reaction to egg. I’m going to write you a prescription for an epi pen but I recommend staying away from eggs altogether. Ooh I actually have an amazing birthday cake recipe that doesn’t use eggs in my office, I’ll go get it now.” I look on lovingly as she teeters down the corridor as fast as her heels could take her.

Mrs Carmichael laughs whilst wiping away the tears that fell in relief. Mr Carmichael shakes my hand whilst his wife composes herself once again.

“Thank you so much. Seriously, I mean I dread to think what would have happened if you and your wife hadn’t been there.”

“Oh she’s not my wife, but I’d really like her to be.”

“Well, we may have only known you guys for a few hours but I highly doubt she’d say no.” He patted me on the back and went to follow his wife who was slowly gravitating towards her sons room. I suddenly remembered that I was a doctor and had a patient.

“Oh yes, we want to keep your son in overnight for observation but you can take him home tomorrow.”

“Can I stay with him? I don’t want him to be alone when he wakes up.” his mother asked, her eyes never leaving her boy.

I soften my voice to reply. “Of course. I’ll set you up a makeshift bed.”

Mr Carmichael rubs his wifes back soothingly and guides her into the room.

“I’ll go home and make up a bag for you and him. I’ll be an hour tops.” He kisses her head and leaves her to sit down next to her son.

In that moment, I had never been more sure of what I was about to do.

-x-x-x-x-x-

I stand in the door of her office and I just watch on as she is standing on her desk trying to look amongst the multitude of toys and pictures on her shelves.

“I swear I saw the recipe just last week!”

“Honey, as much as I love this sight you’re gonna hurt yourself.” I make my way over and grip her waist to lift her down from the dangerous position. She grumbled but let me lift her anyway. I think she just likes it when I hold her, especially around her waist. She turns around in my arms.

“How are they?”

“The mum is gonna stay overnight and the dad went home to pack a bag for her.”

“We should get some sheets and pillows for her, she’s gonna be so uncomfortable.”

“Already done. She said it was comfy but I think she was just being nice.”

“Or 3 hours of pure stress worrying about her child meant hospital chairs and a few pillows did sound inviting.”

I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. I scanned every inch of her face to commit it to memory, as if it was the last time I’d ever see her face. She giggled, feeling bashful under my gaze.

“What did you want to say? At the restaurant, you were about to say something.”

“Oh yeah,” I was jerked back into reality. “I wanted to say that I never in my life thought I would meet anyone like you. As sweet as you, as kind as you, as smart as you. And, even when I met you, I never in a million years thought I deserved you. I know my history doesn’t exactly give me a stellar record, but I think on some level I’ve been waiting my whole life for this. For you. So—” As I finished, I began to feel around my pockets. The less I found, the quicker I checked. Damn it! My jacket was still at the restaurant.

A lightbulb went off and I sprinted away to look in her craft boxes. After a few minutes I turned back towards her. I got down on one knee.

“Dr y/n y/l/n, will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?” I presented to her a ring made out of two pink and red pipe cleaners twisted together.

Tears fell down her face and mixed in with her soft giggles.

“Yes! Yes! A thousand times, yes!” She threw herself down onto me so we both tumbled to the floor. She was on top of me, and we both scrambled to fit the pipe cleaner ring on her finger.

“I’m sorry it’s not a proper ring. It was in my jacket that I left at the restaurant, but I couldn’t wait a second longer without asking you-“ She met my lips in a deep kiss.

She pulled away ever so softly and whispered.

“You could have asked me with paper rings, and I would still marry you Dr James Wilson.”

“So, about dessert?” I raised my eyebrows suggestively.

-x-x-x-x-x-

We were cuddled up on her office couch, our bodies covered up with a single sheet. She admired the ring that still sat on her finger despite our activities.

“Just think soon we’ll no longer be Dr y/n y/l/n and Dr James Wilson and we will become Dr y/n y/l/n and Dr James Wilson.”

“No Wilson?” I laughed whilst stroking the smooth skin of her arm.

“That MD and PHD is mine, you’ve got your own.”

A-T-2 435 The True Meaning Of Leroy Burgess

Only my second Leroy Burgess post (A-T-2 053) I'm surprised! The tracks are classics of the highest order though

Well this one is Fonda Rae's Over Like A Fat Rat, written with Leroy Burgess's regular collaborators, his cousin Sonny T. Davenport and adopted brother James Calloway. It was produced by Bob Blank of Blank Tapes. Fonda Rae had been lead vocalist for the Patrick Adams' group Rainbow Brown

Fonda Rae - Over Like A Fat Rat

This post would be another dedicated to Burgess, Davenport, and Calloway if it wasn't for this record. Leroy Burgess had collaborated with the twin Aleem brothers on the incredible Hooked On You Love in 1979, NIA Records first release. I've posted another Aleem track here, Cosmic Glide by Captain Rock A-T-2 299. The Aleems write and produce Get Down Friday Night, and that sounds like Patrick Adams on the keyboard. It would be 1984's Release Yourself that goes stratospheric (in the UK at least) for Leroy Burgess and Aleem

The Fantastic Aleems featuring Leroy Burgess - Get Down Friday Night

Convertion were a Leroy Burgess studio group with the afore mentioned Sonny T. Davenport and James Calloway with Burgess's Renee J.J. Burgess and Dorothy Terrell adding background vocals, Greg Carmichael produces. Their first record Let's Do It for Sam Records is one of my favourites and a massive hit. Leroy Burgess talks about Convertion in his Red Bull Music Academy interview, I think. The same group recorded as Logg for Salsoul Records. Fonda Rae's Over Like A Fat Rat (above) was recorded for Vanguard, Vanguard also wanted a Conversion record and they got Sweet Thing. Apparently it was a favourite with Frankie Knuckles

Convertion - Sweet Thing

Weekend was originally recorded by Patrick Adams Presents Phreek in 1978. The track was written by Leroy Burgess and James Calloway and produced by Patrick Adams. The Class Action version came out in 1983 but Christine Wiltshire is the only original member involved with that recording. I think the Bad Girls version is the case, it's Began Cedric, percussionist Bashiri Johnson, and Tee Scott mixing like many other Began Cedric cover versions

Bad Girls featuring Best Scott - Weekend

This is another Leroy Burgess associated track. He has nothing to with the track itself but it's here (because it's ace) because Kleeer is the Patrick Adams/Leroy Burgess/Greg Carmichael associated act the Universal Robot Band who had the 1982 Leroy Burgess/Sonny T. Davenport/James Calloway written hit Barely Breaking Even. BBE has Leroy Burgess on lead vocals. As I've said though Kleeer was a non Adams/Burgess/Carmichael project, same musicians led by Woody Cunningham. Taste The Music was their fifth studio album.

Kleeer - Taste The Music

It's just been announced Leroy Burgess's uncle Thom Bell has passed away. I've shared a track from the Denice Willams album Bell worked on in 1982 here A-T-2 343. Not only was Them Bell one of the cornerstones of the Philly sound but (like Curtis Mayfield) he was loved by Jamaicans and there are a lot of reggae versions of his records. Break Up To Make Up originally recorded by The Stylistics, in JA by Junior Byles and The Heptones recorded versions and in 1982 Delroy Wilson records his version

Delroy Wilson - Make Up To Break Up

This is a rarity, released in Malaysia in 1982 it's an album of covers including Dee Dee Bridgewater's Thom Bell penned and produced Lonely Disco Dancer

HMS Victory, anchored off the Isle of Wight by James Wilson Carmichael (1799-1868)

[the-paintrist]

John Wilson Carmichael - HMS Erebus and Terror in the Antarctic - 1847

The Ross expedition was a voyage of scientific exploration of the Antarctic in 1839 to 1843, led by James Clark Ross, with two unusually strong warships, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror. It explored what is now called the Ross Sea and discovered the Ross Ice Shelf. On the expedition, Ross discovered the Transantarctic Mountains and the volcanoes Erebus and Terror, named after his ships. The young botanist Joseph Dalton Hooker made his name on the expedition.

James John Wilson Carmichael (9 June 1800 – 1868), also known as John Carmichael was a British marine painter.
