In which we learn about a man and a woman
Once upon a time, there was a man and a woman. The man and woman worked together at a very strange place and did many strange things. After some time had passed, the man and woman decided they liked each other and began to the things that men and women do. After more time had passed the man and woman decided they loved each other and they were married. They were very happy and continued to work at a very strange place and do many strange things.
What the hell happened to her?
Husband says there was an accident.
Accident? She's been torn to ribbons! There's a spike through her abdomen!
Another in the shoulder.
Sir, I know you're concerned for her but I need to look at your head.
Oh shit…Doctor…
What?
She's pregnant.
…crap. Okay, get me the OR and do we have any idea of the extent of what we're dealing with here?
Once upon a later time, there was a husband and a wife. The husband and wife travelled all over the world together doing many strange things, such as righting wrongs and making bad people go away. Sometimes they stopped wars and sometimes they started wars. Lots of people liked them and lots of people did not. The husband and wife did not care. They were happy and that was all that mattered. Then one day, the wife made a discovery about herself. She did not believe it at first so she waited and waited until she was absolutely sure her discovery was real. Then she went to her husband and told him of her findings. The husband and wife were even happier and it seemed their life was perfect.
She's seizing!
Oh no no no lady, don't do this to me. I was having such a good day…get that IV back in!
Or's open.
Get us up there.
Doctor, we pull those things out, the baby could…
I know. Get us up there, now!
Sir, I need you to wait here for your wife. Sir you can't come with us!
Once upon a not much later time, there was a daddy-to-be and a mommy-to-be. The daddy and mommy were very in love and very happy together. The daddy travelled the world doing many strange things, but not as often as he used to. The mommy stayed at home, watching over the daddy and making a nest for the baby. She felt very safe because the daddy had promised her that he would protect the mommy and the baby forever and always. But one day, a bad man attacked their home and the mommy was hurt very badly. She and the daddy tried and tried, but they could not save their baby. The not-daddy and not-mommy were very sad.
Doctor! She's losing blood fast!
Dammit…somebody plug that hole already!
Blood pressure's dropping.
Pulse is erratic!
Get me a line in here…
Sir, you can't be in right now, you need to wait outside.
She's going into v-fib!
We need a crash cart in here! Now!
Doctor, the baby! She's losing the baby!
I'll do what I can but right now we have to focus on her, now move!
Once upon a still later time, there was a husband and wife. The husband and wife travelled all over the world, but not always together anymore. Their nest was broken and their baby was gone. The husband and wife were very sad. The wife was also secretly very mad because the husband had not protected her or the baby. She was so mad that one day she flew away from their nest and did not come back.
Sir? Sir, I have news about your wife…she's out of surgery now and in the ICU. She's not awake yet, but the doctor thinks she'll make a full recovery in time. What? The baby? Oh sir…I'm so sorry…
Once upon a time, there was a man and a woman, and they were each very alone.
*Author's Note: My first venture into the dreaded world of ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIPS! Oh noes! Seriously though, this is a new venture for me and I'd appreciate any constructive crit you have to offer (on the writing style, imagery, medical terms, anythingyou feel I need to work on). This is hopefully just the first of several looks into the world of our favorite lovebirds. Heh...birds. Hawkeye. Mockingbird. See what I did there? ...I'm gonna go now.*
