Disclaimer: This work is purely of fiction and is not a Cannon ER story. I do not own ER or any thing affiliated with it.
A short story I had an idea for and thought I'd try in between writing other stuff. Only my second attempt at a fanfict Please rate and ridicule :)
Introduction
Daybreak. The cool stream of light filtered silently into the room and crept slowly up onto the sleeping person in the bed. In the corner, which remained in shadow, a man sat, watching. He smiled to himself as he pulled up his body from the seat came over to the sleeping woman and brushed back some of the black curls fanning out to her pillow as she slept.
She mumbled somewhat incoherently causing the man's tanned face to break into a deeper smile which made his eyes wrinkle.
"Doug?" the woman asked as she cuddled his arm sleepily.
"Yeah, it's me Carol. I'm going to work Kay." He said as he interlocked his fingers with her warm palm.
"Time..?" she asked rolling over and arching her back into a stretch like an overgrown cat. Her eyes remained firmly closed against the onslaught of sunshine which battered so unforgivingly into the room.
" Its still early, go back to sleep ok, I'll see you in a bit." the man reassured his love as he unwound his limbs from her and pulled himself from the bed and onto his feet.
Turning back to look he saw quit clearly the raise and fall of the woman's chest in such a way that could only mean she had indeed gone back to sleep. Smiling to himself again he quietly left the room and walked silently out of his house into the ever brighter October morning.
This is my story to you. You don't know me, and quite frankly I doubt if you ever will, but perhaps I am getting ahead of myself. Ever noticed how day breaks ever time same scene every time but each time is different? Some say that a wise person can look at the world at daybreak and know exactly what the day would be like. How their fates would unfold that day. For you see, nothing happens all of a sudden or unexpectedly. Nothing happens for no reason, everything has a purpose. I was told this so many times. But until that fateful day. The day that started out with a man watching his fiancé sleep, I had never believed it.
But I'm getting ahead of myself again...so let me rewind to that day. The fateful morning I happened to meet Doctor Doug Ross and how our fate, our destiny became one and the same.
