Hi! So… This is my first fic and I'm exciting to finally publish it! Have fun!
Chapter 1- She's coming
I can't believe it. She's coming. She's coming right now. How is it possible? The time passed so fast. I got to be there, I can't just miss it. My wife needs me by her side. I need to be there for her. I want to be there for her. I still can't believe it.
"Watch out!"
"Sorry Karev", I told him without even look back. I got to keep running. I'm so close to the door I can hear April's voice from the other side of the door:
"She's here. She's right here. Don't worry, just one more second."
But that's it. I made it. I'm here. I took one long breath, prepared myself for what's going to happened next, and I entered the room.
Four hours earlier
"Good morning Callie, how are you?" Maggie said to me while we were working at the ER.
"I'm great. Thank you." I smiled politely at her.
We were talking about the date she had last night when a big trauma guy came in. he was about forty years old and even with his entire body covered with blood I could tell he was hot. Very hot. He had a pretty bad car accident and he needed surgery. After the head CT showed his brain is fine, we took him upstairs to the OR.
Maggie, Meredith, Owen and I operated. I started because his spine and pelvis was badly damaged. After I finished, we turned him on his back again so Meredith could get in, but a second before she made the first cut his heartbeat slowed down and we realized he had a cardiac tamponade.
At the moment the ultrasound showed we were right and it really was a cardiac tamponade I started crying, thinking about Mark. Meredith looked at me, and by the way she did it I could see she knew. But she also knew that they needed me in that OR. So I couldn't leave.
His heart stopped three times in the middle of the surgery but when he crashed for the fourth time, we couldn't get him back. We tried our best to save him, but he was too far gone.
Owen and Maggie went to talk to his family since I couldn't stop crying and Meredith wanted to stay with me. I guess this case was hard for her too, Mark, the plane crash, Lexie, Derek's accident.
She's a single mother with three kids and an amazing surgeon. It made my feeling worse right now. I just couldn't stop crying. I needed some space.
I went out of the hospital to relax, wondering if I should walk or drive to the park. By car, it will take minutes, but then I won't have enough time to think. I made a decision.
I was sitting on a bench at the park when Arizona called me. I answered immediately. "Callie, she's coming."
"I'll be right there." I put my phone in my bag and ran.
I can't believe it. She's coming. She's coming right now. How is it possible? The time passed so fast. I got to be there, I can't just miss it. My wife needs me by her side. I need to be there for her. I want to be there for her. I still can't believe it.
But it was true. Arizona is getting into labor right now. Nine months have already passed. We are going to have another baby.
Long breath. Prepared myself. And I entered the room.
