I don't own The Good Wife.

This is just a very short intro chapter for a story I am working on. Wanted to see if there was any interest in it.

She doesn't remember much from that day. She remembers she was at some luncheon, but she doesn't remember what it was for. Everything from that day is a blur up until 12:37. At 12:37, Eli handed her his phone. She knew the world had to be ending if he was interrupting one of her few public appearances, so she hesitated before taking the phone from his shaking hand. She remembers Kalinda's voice cracking on the other end of the line. Telling her Will had been shot. He wasn't dead, but was close. She remembers dropping Eli's phone, and walking out of the room. He followed closely behind her, his cracked phone and her purse in tow. He pulled her keys out of her purse and with an authoritative tone he spoke.

"I am driving you to the hospital."

All she could do was nod numbly, follow blindly, and through the tears, speak.

"Thank you."

She thinks he must have spoken during the car ride, but all she remembers is the thoughts in her own head. "Shot. Will's been shot. Don't be dead. Please. For me, don't be dead."

Arriving at the hospital, she saw Diane and Kalinda in the waiting room, crying, hugging.

"Is he- is?"

Not able to finish the question, she just looked at them.

"No. No. He is in surgery."

"Will he make it?"

Kalinda stared down at the floor, before bringing her eyes up to look at Alicia's red rimmed eyes, and mascara stained cheeks.

"They don't know."

With that, the three women sat in the chairs, waiting, thinking, unable to imagine life without the man in the operating room.

Eli had his cell phone and Alicia's. Peter kept calling, and he wasn't going to answer. Alicia needed her space, and Peter would not be very understanding. So, he silenced both phones. Sitting on a bench out side of the hospital, he realized something. He no longer wanted Alicia and Peter to be Alicia-and-Peter. He wanted Alicia to be happy. He wanted Will to pull through, if only for Alicia. So, for the first time in his life, he prayed. He prayed that Will Gardner would live.

Review please.
