Tara hurriedly scrubbed in and walked to the table. She looked down at her patient and wondered what someone so young could be the president of. He was a handsome man and she hoped like hell she could save him. She was sure someone he loved would be waiting for him. She then proceeded to work her magic as she opened his chest to retrieve the bullet that had ripped through his lungs. She breathed a sigh of relief to know that it didn't hit his heart. But an inch to the right it would have. She got the bullet and then repaired what she could of the lung. She knew he was lucky because other then the hole in the lung it didn't damage too much. She closed him up and watched as they rolled him to the ICU. She took her cap off and walked back to the ER to tell his friends how he was doing.
"Doc, How is he?" the same guy from before asked.
"He's in recovery. He took a bullet in the lung but he was lucky there wasn't a lot of damage. If all goes well he will be good in no time. Does he have family here yet?" she asked.
"We are his family."
"I meant, a wife, kids or parents." she said softly.
"Uh.. no, no wife, or old lady. No kids and both his parents are dead."
"Oh, um.. " she started to say something when she saw Stacy walk over to her.
"They are a motorcycle club and I guess he is there president." Stacy said to Tara.
"Okay, then. I will come get you when he gets to a room. For the next few hours he will be in ICU recovery. When he gets to his room only two at a time please. " she said looking out at all the men standing there.
"Thanks Doc. We really appreciate what you two have done for us." Opie said as he turned to go tell his brothers what was going on.
Tara went over to write in his chart while talking to Stacy. She didn't get much response and she looked at her. She noticed that Stacy couldn't seem to take her eyes off of the man she treated.
"Hey you, what's going on in that head of yours?"
"I uh.. oh nothing. I was just thinking."
"Yeah, I can see what you were thinking." Tara said chuckling.
Stacy blushed and tried to look away.
Happy could feel eyes on him and looked up. He saw the two doctors standing there looking at him and then he saw his doctor start blushing. He didn't know why but the moment he saw that blush on her cheeks he got hard. He started feeling uncomfortable and went to turn away when he heard the doors open and a woman's voice.
"Opie are you okay baby? I came as soon as I heard. How are they?" Donna said rushing into hold her man.
"Jax went to surgery but his Doc says he should be okay and we can see him in a few hours. Happy is good. He got stitched up and is waiting with all of us."
Donna turned to Happy and ran over to him and hugged him. "Don't do this to me. You guys have to stay safe." she said with tears in her eyes. Happy looked over Donna's shoulder to his doctor and saw her beautiful smile fade. He wondered why.
"Well I guess that is that." she softly whispered not realizing Tara heard her. Tara turned to see what she saw and felt bad for Stacy.
A couple hours went by and Tara went to check on her patient. She saw his vitals were improving and she breathed a sigh of relief. She went to the guys that had filled the waiting room to tell them they could visit but reiterated only two at a time. She watched as the one that had been talking to her and the woman that came went in first. She wondered if maybe Stacy was wrong and she was there for her patient. She sighed and went about her work.
Later when it was time to go home she went back to check on her patient and found most of the men had left. There were still some there as if they were guarding him. She went in and examined him once again. She wasn't worried that he hadn't woke up yet. She felt like his body was needing the rest. He would wake up soon she thought. She finally just looked at him and she realized how truly handsome this man was. She sighed once again and left the room. She went to change into her clothes and met Stacy there. Together they went home and got some much needed rest. They knew they had to do this all over again the next day.
