Hello, my fellow Cold Case fanfiction readers!
So, I, like a lot of people I have discovered, didn't start shipping Lilly and Scotty together until the episode "Stalker", especially the last few minutes. It's just so obvious when he's holding her to him and demands for Jeffries to get the paramedics. I just knew it in my heart they were meant to be together. Even though I know they don't, but I haven't quite finished to whole series yet. Close.
But here is Scotty thinking about Lilly as she's brought to the hospital after being shot. I might continue with it, maybe not. I have some extra stuff written for it, but I don't know. I'll sit on it for a few days.
Anyway, enjoy!
"Lilly Rush, female, G.S.W. to the chest. No exit wound, last B.P. 60 over 40." The paramedic shouts to the heap of doctors after jumping from the back of the rig. Scotty is right behind him, shock still overwhelming his entire body. He has absolutely no idea what to do. It all had happened so fast that he hasn't had time to react.
He got me.
Those three words ring repeatedly though Scotty's head as he tries to make any sense of it. He'd been so focused on making sure that monster was dead that he'd completely forgotten Lilly was even in the room.
Scotty blinks as the flurry of doctor's in trauma gowns shove him out of the way. He can barely remember his own name at this point, and it's not like any of them pay him any mind. He wasn't the one shot by a maniac.
I'm not the one who's dying.
The thought hits him so hard, he chokes on the air he'd been taking in.
What would he do without her? Sit back and listen as everyone falls apart over it? Get blamed for it? Die himself?
He should have just stayed outside and listened to that idiot from SWAT.
He did this to himself, and to Lilly.
The whole accident falls to the pit in his stomach like a block of iron. The gunshots, his partner's blood spattered on the wall, the paramedics, the ambulance ride.
The ambulance bay is cleared out by the time he's brought back to reality. It's only because he's alone that he can bring himself to say it.
"He got her."
