Hey everyone. this is another story I am trying. Let me know what you think? I know it's not checked. I will try and check the next chapter. Let me know what you think.

'Fucking hell Aiden you are completely insane! You are out of here.' Chief Burtrum nearly screamed, he loved Aiden she was one of his best Firefighters but damn the woman was insubordinate and stubborn and got into trouble more often than not. The fact that she just pulled one of his men out just before the whole damn building collapsed was the only reason he was not suspending her.

'Ahh come on chief I...' Aiden Finigan had to take a deep breathe which in turn made her cough and gasp for breath.

'I said you are out of here. Now get your damn ass into that ambulance before I drag you there.' Burtrum angrily shouted this time.

Aiden nodded realizing that she maybe did need to go to the hospital. Breathing shouldn't hurt this much. She managed to get to the ambulance on her own steam then gratefully sat down on the bed. Then everything went wonky and she was out for the count.

'Hey Doc can you stay for just a little longer we are slammed!'

Dr. Erin Lewis groaned. Oh god this can't be! My shift is over and I want to finally get some sleep! Please! Sleep! 'Terry please tell me you are joking!'

Terry shook her head. 'Sorry Er no can do...but got you an easy laid back one...' Terry dangled the patient file in front of Erin.

Erin grabbed in ad growled. 'Bloody Timmons has to get another doctor this can't go on like this! This is like the fourth time this week I have had to go overtime!'

'Tell me about it, not just you docs are feeling the pinch.'

Erin nodded, cutbacks had fucked them all in the backside. 'Ok what do I have?'

Terry grinned, oh this was going to be fun. 'You have a 28 year old Firefighter with severe smoke inhalation.'

Now Erin truly wanted to bang her head against the wall. 'No, no, no! I am not treating some over inflated ego maniac testosterone filled idiot!'

'It's that or I have a partial amputation on its way in.' Terry grinned. She knew that Erin would not want to stick around for that. And it has nothing to do with the fact that you know that this particular Firefighter is right up Erin's alley. I can not wait to see her face!

'Oh for the love...fine! Lead the way.' Erin sighed and followed Terry to Exam one.

Aiden blinked, her chest hurt like hell and she wasn't sure where she was. But wherever it was, she was not happy. And the noise was driving her insane!

Erin opened the curtain and stopped in her tracks. Well that is sure as hell not what you were expecting! 'Uhm Terry I think you lost the patient.'

Terry grinned sweetly and shook her head. Oh this was just very good. 'Nope not at all this is the right patient. And look who's awake.' Terry smiled as she moved over to Aiden. 'Hello Ms. Finigen how do you feel?'

Aiden blinked, well at least wherever she was the women were all hot. 'mhhh.' She tried to say something but only managed a croak.

Erin moved to Aiden's side and gently pushed her down again. 'You're very congested and your throaght pretty closed up, so why don't you lie back down and I'll give you something that will help you feel better.'

Aiden nodded then grabbed Erin's hand. She motioned around the room and looked at Erin imploringly.

Erin understood immediately and squeezed Aiden's hand gently. 'You're in the hospital. I'm doctor Lewis and this is Nurse Tanner.

Aiden nodded then tiredly closed her eyes. At least now she knew where she was. And the doc sure had beautiful eyes.

Erin held Aiden's hand unconsciously taking in Aiden's demeanour. She was beautiful in her own right and looked so very young lying there on the bed. When she felt Aiden't hand loosen she finally noticed that she had been staring for a very inappropriate amount of time. She cleared her throat. 'Ok...yes let's keep her on the Oxygin and add some painmeds for the pain and see how that works.'

'Ok got that.' Terry nearly laughed, but bit her tongue. Boy that was almost painful to watch. Erin was smitten of that she was sure. 'Anything else?'

Erin shook her head as she took a look at what the file said and started her own examination.

Aiden swam up from deep sleep and this time she could breathe easy and the pain was bareable. She looked around her room her eyes falling on what looked like the nurse from before. Clearing her throat she took a tentative breath smiling when that worked out pretty well for her. 'Hey'

Terry looked up from where she was filling in Aiden's chart. 'Well look who's back among the land of the living.'

Aiden grinned. 'Well feel better.'

'I just bet, you've been getting a lot of visitors.' Terry added. 'But we have been keeping then at bay.'

Aiden nodded relieved, that was all she needed. To be gawked at. 'So when can I blow this popsicle stand?'

Terry shook her head, well she might not be a guy, but she sure had their mentality when it came to her dislike of hospitals. 'As soon as the doc signs the papers, but you should really think of taking it very easy for the next little while. You will be coughing up soot for a while to come.'

Aiden pursed her lips and with what she tried to pass of as an innocent look. 'Sure I'll get right on that.'

Terry sighed, yip another ego driven twit. 'Maybe you could stay with family?'

Aiden's eyes actually became the size of saucers. 'Pleas please tell me you didn't contact my mother!'

'We would have if we had a number for her.' Terry said and saw the slight cringe.

'No don't. I'll be fine on my own. Can you get the doc to sign the form so I can go?'

Terry nodded. 'He was by earlier so I should be able to just have him sign it then give you your care instructions myself.'

'Thanks.' Aiden smiled the made her self comfy again while she waited. Maybe the women from last night was just in my imagination after all. Cause she was not a he. Very definitely not a he. Too bad.

Erin lent hard on her cart as she stared at the frozen food section of the supermarket. Somehow she just couldn't manage the energy to pick one. Might have something to do with the fact that you couldn't get someone of your mind! But damn what a someone to have on your mind. Yes Ms. Finigan is a very beautiful woman. Oh who am I kidding she is smoking hot!

Aiden was starting to wonder if maybe she should have listened to the nurse more. She was leaning on her shopping cart really really hard. She was sweating hard and could barely breath. She didn't even notice the other cart until smashed head on into that cart. 'Sorry.' She wheezed softly.

Erin turned around to tear her intruder a new one then stopped. Well this is just great. 'It's you.'

Aiden looked up, and blinked. Oh now this can't be good! I am seeing the cute doctor from last night! 'Not good.'

Erin frowned then gave Aiden the once over. 'Why the hell are you not in the hospital? You should not be up and about! What the hell were you thinking?' Erin angrily admonished.

Aiden was really really trying to hold on to her breakfast and now her hallucination was yelling at her? Boy was she having a crappy day. 'Doc said I was good.'

Erin barely heard the statement. 'You have to be kidding me!'

'No the nurse said he said I was good.' Aiden said softly. Boy who knew that standing could be so hard?

Erin noticing the way Aiden was moving that it was not going to be long and she would be flat on her back. So she simply grabbed an arm and helped her stand up. 'I better take you home. Tell me they at least gave you some meds at least?'

'Just some pain meds.' Aiden mumbled without question leaning on Erin, not caring to examine the fact that she was letting Erin help her in the first place. She never let anyone near her.

Erin helped Aiden to the check out counter. They needed to get some more meds for Aiden and Eri needed help With Aiden. She couldn't do it all on her own.

'Ma'am can I maybe help?' The boy at the cash out asked. He knew Aiden and she didn't look to hot.

'Oh yes please.' Erin smiled. 'I need to get her into the car then run to the phharmacy.'

'I can get her into the truck no worries I know where Aiden's parked. She always parks in the same spot. Are you going to be ok getting her into the old firehouse?' He asked, trying to be as helpful as he could be. After all everyone knew the Finigan's.

Ahh so now I know where she lives. Typical isn't it. The old Firehouse! 'Yes I think we will manage it.'

'Ok then let me get Aiden in the car for you. She is ok right?' He asked worried

'She will be.' Erin said confidently, after all it would not do to sound worried. She was a doctor and doctors knew everything.

Erin looked at the doped up and reasonably cute spread out on her bed. And boy that had taken some real effort to get her upstairs into her bedroom. 'Bloody stupid Firhouse without a lift! And of course your bedroom would be on the top floor. Where else.'

Aiden snorted in her sleep and turned as answer, making Erin shake her head and laugh.

'Even asleep you are cute. That's just not right! But time to see if I can find someone to come and stay with you. And oh yes call Terrie. And why am I talking to you? It's not like you are being a great help!'

Terry grumbled as she rolled over and picked up her phone. 'What?' She growled, if it was the hospital she was going to start screaming. She really was!

'Well good afternoon Nurse Tanner.'

Terry frowned. 'Erin?'

'Ahh so you are awake, good! Means you will remember the next couple minutes.' Erin said coldly, for some reason the fact that Terry was the one that let Aiden walk out of the hospital.

Now that got Terry's attention. Erin never used that tone with her. But she had used it on other nurses and doctrs when she dressed them down. 'Erin what's wrong?'

'What's wrong? Seriously?' Erin said very calmly and coldly. 'You let a patient walk out of the hospital when she had absolutely no bussiness being out of the hospital.'

'What? Erin who the hell are you talking about?' The moment she said it she knew who it was. 'This is about Ms. Finigan.'

'Yes it's about Aiden. Lucky for you I bumbed into her. She more or less collapsed in my arms! She had absolutely no business being out of the hospital! Terry for gods sakes you know this, I know you do. So why the hell did you let her walk out of there?'

Terry swallowed hard. Well damn, she had not seen that one coming not at all. She knew that would come back and bite her in the butt! 'Look I was just doing what I was told to do. Timmons said I had to get her out. I...I should have stood up to him, but I didn't.'

Erin cursed then tried to bring her tone of voice down. 'I should have known! That bloody ass! I will have his ass for this one!'

Terry let her breath out, at least she seemed of the hook for the moment. 'I am sorry.'

Erin spent the next couple minutes getting all the facts from Terry then went back to check on Aiden.

Erin nearly jumped out of her skin when the phone rang. Should I pick it up? No you can't, you don't know her friends or family.

'Hey little sister just checking in, guess your sleeping. You slacker you. Oh yea might just want to know mum knows about your little trip. So be ware she's on the war path. Damn that's the alarm have to go.'

Erin didn't have any time to think about the phone call when the doorbell rang. At first she wanted to ignore it, but whoever it was was extremely insistent that they should be let in. Erin carefully opened the door and stared at the woman on the other side. Oh god! Her mother! Think Erin she has now idea who you are. For all she knows you are some kind of axe murderer! 'Hi you must be Aiden's mother. It's so nice to finally meet you, I just wish it were under better circumstances.' Oh God Erin, what the hell are you doing?

Perfectly shaped eyebrows shot right of a perfectly made up face. 'And who are you?'

Erin cringed, well it was obvious that this woman was Aiden's mother, but it was also clear that the two had absolutely nothing in common after that. 'Oh of course where are my manners.?' Erin pasted on a fake smile. 'I am Erin Lewis.'

'Ah and how do you know my daughter?' Aiden's mother asked with disdain lacing her voice.
