Chapter 1:Instant Messages

Rachel Greene was adjusting to life in Chicago again after her mother Jen and stepfather Craig were killed in an auto accident a few months ago. At first living with her dad and new stepmother Elizabeth was a living hell. All she did was fight with Elizabeth. Rachel always threw in "You're not my mother" and she didn't get to see her dad much. He was usually at work. Rachel loved going down to the ER to visit him. It gave her a chance to see all her friends who worked with her dad. She's known Doug, Carol, Susan, Carter, Kerry, Peter, Jing Mei, and all the nurses since she was a little girl and she was close to all of them. Now she had a few new friends too .She had become close with Luka, Abby, Dave, and Cleo.

As time passed things got better for Rachel. Her and Elizabeth had become bestfriends. They shared everything. Rachel talked to Elizabeth about everything. Elizabeth taught her how to cook and how to dance. They went shopping together. Elizabeth helped her pick out clothes for school. She was staring her second year of high school in the fall. Rachel had even called Elizabeth, mom sometimes. Rachel and Mark had also grown closer sharing special father daughter moments. Rachel finally had the happy normal family she always wanted with a mom, dad, and even a baby sister.

One late afternoon Rachel sat in front of the tv flipping through the channels. She tossed the remote on the couch next to her. "Ahh! Over a hundred channels and nothing is on" She played with the corner of a magazine sitting on the coffee table. She sighed "I'm bored" She got up and grabbed her backpack purse and headed out the door. She walked to the EL. She rode to County.

She walked into the ER. She spotted Kerry standing by the admit desk. She walked over to her. "Hey Kerry have you seen Elizabeth or dad?" Kerry smiled "Hi Rachel!" Kerry hugged her as best she could with her bulging belly. "Your dad isn't here he went on a ride along with Pickman but I think Elizabeth is up in her office." Rachel smiles "Thanks Kerry" She walked over to the elevator and rode up to the surgical ward. When she gets the elevator she runs into Peter. He smiled "Hey squirt are you here to seeElizabeth?" Rachel nodded. She said good bye to Peter and walked up a door its nameplate read Dr. Elizabeth Corday-Greene Associate Chief of Surgery. Rachel knocked softly. A warm British accent says "Come in" Rachel walks in. "Hi Elizabeth" Elizabeth smiles "Rachel what a lovely surprise" She gets up and hugs her stepdaughter. "So what bring you here sweetheart, is everything alright?" Rachel nodded "I'm fine I just got bored sitting home alone so I came to see what you were up to" Elizabeth was about to say something when her pager went off. She looked at it "Dang it!" she looked at Rachel. "Rachel, honey they need me down in the ER I'm so sorry I promise as soon as I"m done we'll go get lunch at Doc Magoo's ok" Rachel smiles "Its ok I'll just hang out here for awhile" Rachel kisses her on the cheek "Ok Sweetie I'll be back as quick as I can" She raced out of the room leaving Rachel alone.

Rachel sighed as she sat down at Elizabeth's desk. Rachel looked at the photos on the desk. One was a wedding picture. She had felt bad that she didn't make it to the wedding first she missed her flight then her dad had gotten her another flight but that one got canceled on account of rain. Then there was a picture of Ella a, a group picture of everyone in the ER, a picture of Peter and Reese, and a picture of her. She smiled at the picture of Peter and Reese. She loved to baby-sit for Reese he was a great kid and Peter was great too. She knew that Elizabeth used to date Peter and he still held a special place in her heart. She had laughed when Peter told her about the night of the wedding her dad was standing on his car in the middle of the rain and Peter kept telling him to get off his car. Just the thought of her dad on top of a car in the pouring rain made her laugh.

Rachel looked over and saw Elizabeth's computer. She moved in front of it. She turned it on and logged on to the Internet. She was doing some searching when she came across some chat rooms. She found one she liked "Teen Romance room" she smiled and clicked on to it. She was in the room for less then a minute when she received an instant message. Mr.Hottie16 "hi" Rachel was excited she responded. Bananafish15 "hi" Mr. Hottie16 " so what does Bananafish mean" Rachel giggled. Bananafish15 "it was my nickname when I was little" Mr.Hottie16 "Really ? that's cute. So what's your name" Rachel smiled he wanted to know her name! Bananafish15 "its Rachel what's your name?" Mr.Hottie16 "I'm Brian why don't you tell me about your self" Rachel thought for a minute "What should I tell him" she decided on the truth. Bananafish15 "Ok well I'm 15 years old and a sophomore in high school I live in Chicago I have blond hair brown eyes. So what about you tell me about your self" Mr. Hottie16 "Wow you sound really pretty! Ok I'm 16 I'm a junior in high school and I live in Chicago too. I have wavy brown hair and brown eyes and I'm 6'1" Rachel sighs with delight "He sounds like Carter and Carter is soo hot!" Bananafish15 "wow no wonder your screen name is Mr. Hottie!" The two talked for several minutes when she heard the door opening. Bananafish15 "Brian I have to go my mom is here!" Mr.Hottie16 "Ok but can we talk later" Rachel smiled Bananafish15 "Sure we can! I'll miss you" "Bye" Mr. Hottie16 "Ok bye Rachel I'll miss you too". Rachel sighed and smiled as she quickly shut down the computer .

Elizabeth smiled "Hey Rachel sorry it took me so long" Rachel kept staring at the blank computer screen. "it's ok mom" Elizabeth walked over to the computer and saw the blank screen. "Umm Rachel, honey what are you looking at there's nothing there" Rachel stopped looking at the computer and looked at Elizabeth "Oh umm nothing " Elizabeth sighed "Ok if you say so" "So are you hungry, are you ready to go get lunch at Doc Magoo's." Rachel smiled. "Sure lets go" They headed to the door. Rachel turned briefly to look at the computer one more time.

Rachel had been talking to Brian on line every day for the last 6 weeks and she thought she was in love with him even thought she had never met him. Rachel was watching an old episode of Friends she loved that show especially the character Rachel Green. She was waiting for Elizabeth to leave so she could get on line and talk to Brian. Rachel heard the phone ring and then Elizabeth talking. A few minutes later Elizabeth rushed into the living room and right in front of the tv. Rachel looked at her. "Elizabeth move Ross is about to look out the window and see Chandler making out with Monica!" Elizabeth smiled "I will but first I want to tell you something!" Rachel sighed "Ok what?" Elizabeth was excited "Well Rachel that was Carter on the phone about an hour ago Kerry had her baby!" Rachel smiled "Really! What do she have!" Elizabeth giggled "She had a little girl she weighed 6 lbs and 3oz" Rachel was now excited "Wow, cool! What's her name!" Elizabeth grinned "Her name is Lucy Gabrielle Carter" "So listen Rachel this means your dad and I will have to work a few extra hours tonight. We'll be home late" "Do you think you'll be alright here by yourself for most of the night" Rachel nodded "I'll be fine and if I do need anything I have plenty of people I can call" Elizabeth sighed "Ok I better get going I want to stop and see Kerry before I start my shift" Rachel hugged her mom. "Bye, give Kerry and Carter my love and tell them I will try to come see them later" Elizabeth smiled and kissed her cheek "Ok sweeite I will, I love you" Rachel smiled "I love you too " She watched Elizabeth walk out the door. She cheered as her car pulled away.

Rachel raced over to the computer and logged onto the Internet hoping that Brian was still on. She went to her buddy list and clicked on his name. Bananafish15 "Hey Brian are you still on" she got a quick response. Mr.Hottie16 "Rachel! I missed you!" Rachel blushed. Bananafish15 "I missed you too Brian!" Hey Guess what!" Mr.Hottie16 "What!" Bananafish15 "My Aunt had her baby today!" Mr. Hottie16 "Really! Cool! You mean your Aunt Kerry right! What did she have?" Rachel smiled he always remembered everything she told him. Bananafish15 "Yep that's her!" She had a little girl her name is Lucy Gabrielle Carter!" Mr.Hottie16 "Wow that's almost as pretty a name as Rachel Maria Greene!" Elizabeth blushed again. Bananafish15 "Awww thanks!" Mr.Hottie16 "Sure!" so do you have plans for tonight" Rachel wondered why he asked her that. Bananafish15 "No why?" Mr. Hottie16 "Really that's great because I was thinking maybe we could finally meet each other tonight" Rachel was a little nervous. Bananafish15 " umm sure that sounds like fun where should we meet?" Mr. Hottie16 "Hmm I know we could meet in front of Buckingham Fountain say in about an hour" Rachel smiled "Ok sounds great see you in an hour Brian!" she turned off the computer and ran upstairs.

Rachel took a shower and put on some makeup. She went through her closet. She couldn't find any thing she liked so she went across the hall an into her parents bedroom. She looked in Elizabeth's closet. She found a great black leather skirt and a low cut baby blue blouse. She quickly got dressed. She went through Elizabeth's jewelry box pulling out a silver chain with a little diamond pendant and diamond earrings. She checked herself in the mirror and raced down the stairs.

Rachel grabbed a sheet of paper and wrote Elizabeth and her dad a note. She knew they'd never approve of her computer date so she made up a lie Elizabeth and Dad went to the mall to buy a present for Kerry's baby be back soon love you. She signed it Love Rachel. She walked out the door. She had no idea what she may be headed for.
