SUMMARY: 'Where There's Smoke' except it has a twist. It's Kat's way of course!
Sandy:
The fire was at a blazing four alarms. Sandy, as usual, was the first one in. "Chicago's toughest female fire fighter" as Kerry always called her. Her title was about to be lived down. Sandy was scared as hell. She couldn't see her hand in front of her. It was just like the fire on the day Kerry came after her wanting her back, but this time something felt different.
The roof had given way before they got there. The second floor of the building was about to do the same, and with a giant crash and Sandy's loud scream it did.
The next thing Sandy heard was Jeffries calling out to her and telling her to cover her face if she could because they would be removing debris to get her out. She was buried under chunks of the collapsed floor. All she could think about was Kerry and Henry. She had delivered Henry only a few months before, and she was not going to let the fire get her, no, not this time.
"Get me the hell out of here!" Sandy screamed at anyone who could possibly hear her.
"All right San, just a few more two- by- fours, some insulation and sheet rock and we'll be home free, all right?" Jeffries called to her through the rubble that his partner and good friend was pinned underneath.
"Whatever, just hurry up, my oxygen's running out and my head hurts, like bloody hell!" Sandy hollered back hastily.
Kerry:
Kerry sat in her office listening to some music as she did her paperwork. Her concentration faded in and out as she kept dreaming about the previous night's activities. It had been wild, daring, and down- right amazing. They knew just how to please each other, and when that was done, they would say their "I Love You's" and fall asleep in each other's arms.
It was love, pure, simple, sensual, and never ending. They had been through so much, and now with their pride and joy Henry gracing them with his blessed presence they felt even more bonded and so much more love than ever before.
Could you whisper in my ear?
The things you want to feel.
I'd give you anything,
to feel it coming
Do you wake up on your own?
And wonder where you are...
I want to wake up where you are.
I won't say anything at all.
So why don't you slide.
Yeah, we're going to let it slide...
Ah, the Goo Goo Dolls CD that Sandy had given her for no apparent reason. They both loved to dance and listen to it at home, but for the last two days Kerry had stolen it and been using it as her new office music. She was a closeted music junkie.
Kerry was tapping the beat out on her desk with her pen, pausing only to scribble down a miscellaneous note or signature on her Q&A charts.
Since Robert Romano had been killed, she was made Chief Of Staff and had been given most, if not all of the administrative duties.
Sandy didn't know how she could stand it. Come to think of it, neither did Kerry.
Kerry tried to get most, if not all of her work done at the hospital so she could spend every spare minute she had watching the amazing beauty of her wife, Sandy, and her newborn son, Henry.
Sandy:
Sandy was being "fished out" of the rubble. It was a living hell for her and she was shaking like a leaf.
"I SAID GET ME OUT OF HERE!" shouted Sandy just as she could see light flooding into the small area that she was trapped in.
"Nice to see you again San. Are you hurt?" said Scotty as he checked Sandy over carefully.
"Aside from the fact that part of an apartment building just fell on top of me and the fact that I have a migraine headache from the two by four that fell on my head, I am just peachy. Now can you please just get me the heck out of here before I turn into a French fry?"
"Nice to see you still have you sense of humor Sandy. Don't move though. We'll need to do the works just to make sure you don't have any neck or back injuries. OK? And do you want to go to county. I am offering because I know that Kerry is there." Said Jeffries cautiously.
"Fine for the not moving, and definitely on the County." Sandy said in a hurried, yet scared way.
McDaniel slid the backboard underneath Sandy and strapped her onto it while Jeffries put a C- collar onto her neck. They hoisted her out, got her onto a gurney, and then sent her off in a rig to County.
Kerry:
Kerry was still listening to her music when her phone rang. She shut off her music and picked it up.
"Weaver" She said.
"Dr. Weaver, you are needed in the ER stat. Multi- victim trauma from a warehouse fire. Four alarms and they have already called the burn unit, surgery, and the ICU."
"Um, oh god, I'll be right there." said a worried Kerry. All she could think about was Sandy and if she was OK.
Sandy:
"What do we got?" said Susan as she grabbed the next gurney that came flying through the Emergency Room doors.
"Ah, your very own Sandy Lopez, for your treating pleasure." The paramedic chuckled and smiled at both Susan and Sandy. "Two liters saline squeezed in on the rig and 10 of morphine on board. BP 108 over 70, a little the low side and her pulse is 90. She is obviously conscious, but with a brief LOC in the rig and as we were moving her. Probably just rush though. I would pass out too if part of a building fell on me and a two- by- four smacked ME on the head."
"Just wait till I tell Weaver about that little comment Brad. Then you'll regret it." Susan said as he gave the paramedic the evil eye.
"Hey doc. And that BP is normal for me. OK?"
"All right Sandy. Let's get you into trauma two. I want a CBC, CHEM. 7, 12 and COAG panels, ABG, UA, Creatnin, Lites, and dip a urine for blood. Oh, and get Corday down here, just as a precaution, I want to rule out a surgical belly. Don't want Kerry to kill me for messing up her girlfriend, right?"
Said Susan, partially kidding, as she discretely motioned, and mouthed "Get Weaver" to Sam.
Kerry:
Kerry smacked the 'down' button on the elevator repeatedly due to her obvious need to make sure Sandy, her wife, was OK. When the doors finally opened she rushed in and did the same to the '2nd floor button not knowing that it wouldn't make things go any faster. She was beginning to realize what Carol Hathaway and a few other staff members had gone through in the past. The elevator doors opened and.
"Oh god" Kerry gasped when she saw the overflowing ER. She had an almost instant flashback of the day she surrendered to Kim's hopeless passion and love.
Merge: Kerry & Sandy:
Kerry walked frantically to find any nurse who wasn't running around as frantically as her.
"Abby, is Sandy here? Is the thirty eighth missing and of their men?" Kerry asked frantically.
"I get the idea that all you really want to know is where Sandy is, so you better get your but into trauma two. It looks worse than it probably is. Don't worry." Abby said to Kerry with a comforting rub on the shoulder.
"Who's the attending?" Kerry said as she headed off towards trauma two.
"Your OK chief, it's Susan, and Corday is in there too. And thought I saw Luka or Carter go in also. But they just went in and out.
"Thank You Abby!" Kerry shouted as she shoved open the doors to trauma two with her right elbow.
"Oh my god, Sandy!" Kerry shouted as she rushed over to Sandy's side.
"Hey Kerry. Damn I hate four alarms."
"Susan, what's her status? Is she going to need the OR?" Kerry asked looking them each in the eye. Susan was the first to speak.
"Well, a few broken ribs, two units O- Neg. in, and Dr. Corday should be taking over surgery options. And we are still waiting on labs."
Susan said with a wry smile of assurance, and then looked to Corday who spoke next.
"Definitely some internal bleeding and there are a few liver lacerations on the ultrasound. We'll take her up in a minute. You can scrub in if you like seeing as I owe you due to that little comment in front of Kim a few years ago."
"God Elizabeth I really don't care about that anymore, just...
"Stats are falling, she's out!" Shouted Lydia as she grabbed an O2 mask off of the counter. Kerry held Sandy's face stroking it a bit harder than before. She shook her head to try to wake her up and rubbed the sensitive spot above her sternum, which was very painful for an alert patient.
"No response to painful stimuli or verbal commands. She's not moving air. 8- 0 ET tube." Kerry said duskily as she proceeded to intubate Sandy, squinting the tears out of her eyes so she could see.
"Come on Sandy, don't do this to me baby. Don't do this to Henry. He needs his Mommy. Come on baby." Kerry said as she finally let the tears fall.
"She's bleeding out! Kerry, we've got to get her to the OR NOW!"
"I'm coming with you."
"Fine, but let's go. NOW!" Elizabeth said as she smacked the brake on the gurney with her foot and shoved it to a rolling start towards the elevator.
