Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own anything to do with ER or any of the
characters. Pity!
This is my first fan fiction so please be kind with the reviews and any constructive criticism would be welcome.
This is from half way through series 9, and has some spoilers about what happens to Robert Romano at the beginning, but the rest is my wild imagination. What happens between two people with so much sexual chemistry if they were put together for two weeks?
Now on with the story
SUNSET IN THE MEDITERRANEAN
"Demoted!" Robert huffed to himself. "Head of ER! Why didn't they just fire me? It would shorten the process."
He looked down at his almost useless hand. His mind wandered to the days when he was a highly sort after surgeon and the number of people who had thanked him for keeping them alive. He was not one for lying down and letting people walk over him, he always fights, no matter what and he always came out on top. But something was bothering him at the back of his mind; was he still strong enough to fight? To face defeat would certainly ruin him, he had to fight! " Well, if they think this will force me to quit, they have another thing coming. They think they've seen pissed off; they ain't seen nothing yet!"
Elizabeth was tired. Ella just wouldn't settle last night and insisted that Elizabeth read Sleeping Beauty and the Snow White three times each before she finally went to sleep. In total, Elizabeth must have had four hours sleep last night. The morning had passed uneventfully with a hernia and heart bypass to finish off the morning. After hours of surgery, she finally got to sit down for five minutes rest. She sat in the lounge and let her mind drift. Drift far away from the hospital, to a hot, beautiful place, where she's standing on the balcony staring across the sea at the red sun setting. Then someone wraps their arms around her waist and kisses her. She turns and kisses them hard. The sensation as they pull closer in to the kiss trying to get closer, and closer, never close enough. Her eyes were closed concentrating on the lips she was kissing. When they pulled away she opened her eyes to reveal, ROMANO!
Elizabeth jolted awake. She didn't just dream about Robert. Or did she? When did she fall asleep? She didn't have time to fathom what was going on, her pager went off. The ER was calling for her. She felt a bit flustered and shaky, and needed to calm down. She drank a glass of water before she headed downstairs which seemed to do the trick for now.
With a new surge of power and anger running through him, Robert headed back to the ER Department from his break. It wasn't long before he found his first victim.
"Doctor Carter?" He bellowed across the corridor. Carter continued with what he was doing, thinking to himself "what does he want now?" But he slowly and reluctantly answered him.
"Yes, Doctor Romano."
"I'm sure I told you to dismiss Mr Reynolds, but it appears that he is still here. Can you explain this phenomenon to me Dr Carter?"
"I'm waiting for some results to come back from the lab." Carter explained.
"If you want something done you have to do it yourself. Go up there, and get the results instead of waiting for them to come down here. Or didn't you think of that?"
"I've been a bit busy. We got slammed earlier." He turned back to the chart he was looking at and quietly added, "You would know that if you were ever down here." But it wasn't quiet enough.
"Really Dr Carter? I'm working me ass off to try and get the new funding you need to run this department. I'm working to make sure you're still in a job, the least I expect is a bit of gratitude." Robert finished. But Carter wasn't.
"We are tired, under paid and under staffed. You need to hire new nurses." He shouted at Romano.
"Sure, and in other news, Hell froze over!" Robert quipped back.
Elizabeth had now got to the admin area and was told they were expecting multiple shooting victims. She listened and watched the heated argument between Carter and Romano. She thought it was amazing someone so small could shout so loud and have such a commanding presence.
"It's not my fault this department is full of morons! You want some nurses, fine. But make sure they are aware that we can't afford to pay them." The metal detectors rang out again and Robert was already in a bad enough mood without them going off as well.
"And for Gods sake, shut those god damn things up before some other miscreant walks in here!"
"Hello to you too uncle." This young girl said while standing in the doorway being checked by the security guard.
"Kes?" Robert said, instantly calming down. "What are you doing here?"
"Thought I'd come and say hi. Not interrupting anything am I?" She said looking over at Carter then back at Robert.
"Nothing." Carter answered and wandered off out the way of Romano.
"I brought you some of your favourite hot chocolate to cheer you up." And she held out a flask. She gave Robert a huge hug after the security guard was positive that it was just the numerous bracelets and chains that set the detectors off.
"It's really good to see you here. How did you get here?" Robert asked.
"Using one of those brilliant inventions called a plane, it has wings and it flies." She teased him.
Elizabeth looked at the girl. She was wearing punky clothes with spiky bracelets and chains and looked no older than 15. Was that his niece? She heard she was a tearaway but here she appeared to be everything sweet and light. So did Robert. He was smiling and this girl was teasing him and yet he didn't mind. She watched as he led her into the lounge still smiling and laughing about something. Chen was standing close to Elizabeth watching exactly the same thing.
"Can you believe this? Romano being nice to someone?" "I know." But was it really the fact that he was being nice to someone else she thought. Or the fact that he's being nice to someone other than her?
