"God I am so glad that shift is over. Why is it that when I seem to do a double shift that the second half seems to always be the worst part and have more um interesting patients should I say?" Luke said at he's locker looking over at Casey who had also just knocked off with him after doing the same shift
"Well Snyder, all I can say is it's over, so stop being such the drama queen you normally are and let's head over to metro's or something. I am dying for a drink here"
"I am soo not a drama queen Casey, unlike you. Anyway we know who wears the pants in your relationship now don't we" Luke sniggered back at Casey who came up and whacked Luke over the back of he's head
"OWWWWW what the hell was that for man? God that hurt" Luke said suddenly placing he's hand on the back of his head where Casey had just smacked him
"That my dear friend is for being such a smart arse AND to also remind you that I am the one who wears the pants in mine and Alison's relationship. So any more remarks like that and you might end up being the patient ok. Now come on, let's get going" Casey said walking out the door leaving a stunned Luke in the change room
He kind of knew what he said would get Casey worked up, but he had never actually hit him like that before. 'Seems Casey must be getting a bit of jip now' Luke thought to himself as he quickly put he's T-Shirt on and packed the last thing in he's bag and followed Casey out of the hospital for the rest of the night.
"Well this is going to be home Charlie for the next...who knows how long?" Noah said bringing he's pet pug dog inside he's new house he had just brought a couple of streets away from Oakdale Memorial hospital, where he was due to start the next day as the new head of the emergency department.
He took a look around the furnished house, which was modest. It had 3 bedrooms, a study, a huge family/lounge room which baked onto a huge kitchen and diner. The backyard was pristine as the gardens and lawns had been well maintained. Noah smiled. Completely happy in some sense at where he had come since leaving University about 7 years ago and working he's way up the chain of command at Chicago's main hospital.
He had been offered the emergency department position at Oakdale memorial because the health service had wanted to revamp its department completely having just finished major renovations to bring it into the new century and Noah had accepted immediately as he had also had enough of the city life and wanted somewhere a little bit smaller where he could actually make a difference for once.
Also he thought he might actually be able to find Mr Right, settle down and who knows. The possibilities would be endless.
He looked at Charlie who had now found where he's toys had been set up in the backyard and was playing with he's favourite toy as Noah looked around the house and out to the backyard. He sighed somewhat as he just hoped that he could actually meet someone soon, finally not being single and somewhat depressed and lonely.
Meanwhile at Metro, Casey, Luke and Alison where sitting down talking about their day at work and how busy the ED had been all day.
"Just imagine what it will be like when the new ED manager comes in" Alison said looking at both boys as Casey just took a swig of he's beer.
"Oh god, just what we need right now. When is that suppose to happen again?" Luke said rolling he's eyes, not wanting and silently praying that the new boss wasn't as bitchy as Clara, who was nicknamed Dragon Lady and everyone hated her
"I think in the next couple of days, but it aint going to faze me the slightest because as of tomorrow, I will be on maternity leave" Alison said patting her expanded tummy.
Her and Casey where finally expecting their first child in the next few weeks, to which both Casey and Alison had gotten engaged and where set to be married about a year after the child had been born.
"Awww that's right, when is the baby due Alison?" Luke asked as Casey had he's arm around Alison, looking at her and her tummy
"In about 3 weeks time about June 21st actually. So not long to go. Mind you I haven't been able to see my feet in like ages, so I am sure that I am getting bigger in that region"
"No you're not baby, you're gorgeous as ever" Casey said kissing Alison back as Luke just looked on and said "Oh come on guy, get a room will ya"
"A bit late for that wouldn't you say that Luke" Alison said as they all broke out into laughter, finishing off what was going to be a very short night and long day ahead.
