(Author's Note- Yet another new (hopefully much shorter) story than some of my other ones. I hope you like it! Chapter 2 will be longer.
I own nothing, (except Maddie, Mark, and the wife.) and the other characters, I'm just borrowing. They will be returned, I promise.
The subjet matter isn't peachy, just thought I'd warn you. -E.B.F.R.)
Chapter #1-
Emily came home to her small apartment completely exhausted. Working as a 22 year old pediatrician wore her out to no end. Putting her keys down on the table, Emily made her way to her bedroom. She got out of her clothes and got into her favorite pair of pajamas.
She didn't bother to see what messages were left on her machine, nor did she care about the television shows that were waiting for her on her Tivo. All Emily Bowen Quartermaine cared about was sleeping.
Today had been a rough day. Many young children had come in sick. She also had to make the rounds to the terminal patients. For her, those young patients were the hardest. But Emily couldn't imagine any other profession except teaching that could give her such joy. As much as education was important to her, she wanted to help make children better even more.
She couldn't help but get attached to her patients. She was a softy like that. It amazed Emily that even those who were about to leave this Earth were so full of life. Emily smiled as she remembered how many smiling faces she sent back home today. She was happy that she was able to make these children feel better.
Emily couldn't wait until tomorrow came. She had a rare couple of days off, and she planned to devote the first few days to herself and the last days with her boyfriend. Emily soon fell asleep dreaming of what tomorrow held.
Across Town –
A young girl sits huddled and scared in her basement as she hears the commotion upstairs. Her mother is home. The young girl dreads it so. She'd rather be home alone like usual instead of here.
