Grace's Pov:

I glared at my boyfriend as he placed me down in a dental chair. Late last night when we were eating dinner I had confessed to my mouth hurting, and now my boyfriend (who happens to be a dentist) was making me get my teeth checked.

"Ashton," I scowled. "There is no reason for me to be here."

"Grace, baby. You haven't been to see a dentist in over a year. So please be quiet and let me do my job."

After Ashton looked through my file, the past X-rays and took new ones; then it was time. He pulled on a pair of gloves and face mask, then tilted the chair back.

I heard the metal clinking around as Ash rummaged through the different instruments on the tray. He picked up a mirror and an explorer.

"Open up babe." Ashton said, holding the tools in front of my closed lips. I open my mouth slightly and he giggled. "Babe, you have to open more than that, like an alligator."

I sat there frozen and felt Ashton's gloved fingers pry my mouth open. He put the tools into my mouth and began to inspect each one. I felt the explorer run along my back teeth and got stuck, Ashton tapped it a few times before continuing. Unfortunately for me, the explorer got stuck twice more before Ashton removed it from my mouth.

He huffed and picked up another pointy tool; which he then used to scrape my teeth. After my teeth were polished, flossed, and had a lecture about flossing. I was finally finished with this appointment.

But was I really?

"Grace," Ashton spoke up. He looked at the new X-rays once more and hummed to himself.

"Yes Ash?"

He sat down on the stool and opened my file; switching back and fourth from the X-rays to the open file. I had no clue what he was doing, nor did I really want to know.

A few moments later he stood up from the chair and motioned for me to follow him. I assumed we were going to his office; and I was correct. I stared at the plaque on the door and shivered at the engraved words on it.

Ashton F. Irwin, DDS

I followed Ash into the office and sat down in the chair in front of his desk; staring at the many awards and certificates on the walls. Ashton sat opposite of me and opened my file again, his expression a mixture of sad and angry.

"Okay so here's the deal, Gracie. You have three cavities. I can do them all now if you'd like or you can wait until next week."

"Is it absolutely necessary that I get my cavities filled?"

"Yes it is necessary, babe. If the cavity is left for too long; it can result in a root canal or a tooth extraction. So it is absolutely necessary to get a filling, as soon as possible." Ashton told me, writing stuff down in my file. Getting a filling meant getting an injection in my gum, and that was not going to happen; at least not without me crying.

My heart began to race, breath quicken as well, I began to fill dizzy; it was a panic attack. Ashton must've noticed the state I was in, because he quickly ran around the desk and in front of me in seconds.

He took my hands in his and started stroking them, "Grace, sweetie, you need to calm down. Everything is going to be alright. Shhh, just focus on slowing your breathing."

Ashton began to take exaggerated breaths and I soon followed him; my breathing going back to normal a few minutes later.

"Do you want to have them done now or next week?"

"Next week please, I don't think I'm ready yet Ash."

He wiped my tears away, "That's alright baby. I'll have Luke set up an appointment for next week, you can go home and rest, I'll meet you there after my shift."

He kissed me goodbye then let me go home to relax. At least now I have another whole week to prepare myself; mentally and physically.

One week later

"All I am going to do is: numb you up, drill the decayed area, probe it to make sure all the decay is removed, fill it, and finally set it. It's as simple as that." Ashton explained, getting his needed equipment ready as he spoke.

I whimpered, "But, I'm scared Ash.."

"There's nothing to be afraid of, sweet cheeks. I'm going to take great care of you today. Alright?"

"Alright."

I watched as Ashton pulled on gloves and a face mask. The light was then switched on and the chair was tilted backwards.

"Close your eyes and open your mouth." I obeyed as I knew there would be a needle piercing my gums at any moment; and wanted to get it over as fast as possible.

I felt a pinch and then the novocaine being injected into my gums; a few tears fell down my cheeks. Five minutes later my mouth was numb and Ashton began to drill out the first cavity.

...

Two and a half hours later I was finished. Ashton had did an amazing job keeping me calm whilst focusing on fixing my teeth. I was very thankful to have a boyfriend like him.

"I'm very proud of you Grace, you did fantastic today! Love you babe."

"And I love you more Ash."
