If Everyone Cared
AN: Again, thank you for the two reviews. But it would be nice if more people would review!!! Anyways, for baby names I was thinking Isabella Michelle Paris, Natalie Christina and Natasha Meredith Janeway, and Jamie Harriet Kim. I know, attack of the miniature girls!!!
Chapter Three
"Hi, I'm Isobel Stevens, but you can call me Izzie," the blonde intern said happily.
B'Elanna turned to stare at Meredith.
"Is she always this happy?" she moaned.
Meredith nodded. "Unfortunately, yes."
B'Elanna flopped back into her wheelchair.
"OK, just keep her away from me and my husband, when we find him, and I'll be fine," she muttered.
"Well, just tell us where to go and we'll follow," George said.
"Fine then, Bambi," the patient said.
Suddenly they all burst out laughing.
"What? He actually looks like Bambi!"
"We know," Christina said, trying to stop laughing, "That's what we call him!"
The five interns and their patient continued to laugh as they sat in the elevator, waiting for it to stop on the ground floor.
"So, tell us about your husband. Is he as hot as McDreamy?" Izzie said.
Christina giggled as Meredith hit the blonde.
"What? I was just asking!"
B'Elanna laughed it off. "That's ok; he'll probably end up hitting on you anyway. He considers himself to be a ladies man, or at least did until I fell pregnant for the first time."
Izzie cooed. Addison Montgomery had influenced the intern to lean towards neonatal as her specialty. "Really? Tell us about your other child."
B'Elanna took a deep breath. "Well, Miral is almost two years old now, and the little rascal doesn't like to stay still. Everyone loves her and she's the youngest until my daughter is born, so she's really spoilt."
They were silent as she was wheeled out of the main entry doors and into the carpark.
"Where do you live, anyway?" Alex asked, genuinely curious for once.
The patient took another deep breath. "I'm not really allowed to say," she paused for a minute. "This way."
The interns headed off in the direction they were told, all silent as they went.
"So tell me," Torres said, breaking the silence. "How long have you guys worked here? And when did you meet, because you all seem really close friends."
Meredith and Izzie shared a look, and then started laughing.
"We've been working here for about 9 months, give or take, since the start of our internship. We met on the first day, when we were all grouped together under our resident, Doctor Bailey, and since then, we suck-ups, as she calls us, have been friends."
B'Elanna was listening intently, almost surprised at the story. "Wow, you guys spend so much time together at this hospital."
George laughed. "Yeah, and Izzie and I live with Meredith too."
They fell silent again, all left to their thoughts, until suddenly someone spoke.
"Over there!" B'Elanna said, louder than usual, pointing towards an area of the car park they couldn't yet see.
The interns picked up their pace, almost running in the direction B'Elanna pointed.
"Tom?" she screamed. "Tom!"
Tom Paris woke up from his unconscious slumber, surprised to see the console right in front of his eyes. He slowly sat up, and turned around to see the condition of the rest of the Flyer.
He saw the captain and Annika, both unconscious, but the steady rise and fall of their chests told him they were still alive. Sighing, he turned his head around further, the most he could without causing pain or damage, to look for the three engineers. All of which he couldn't see.
"B'Elanna?" he called, hoping to gain his wife's attention. "B'Elanna!" He called again, this time louder.
Hearing nothing in return, Tom tried to turn his whole body around to look behind him, but screamed out in intense pain.
He returned his face to the flight control console, and started sobbing. Those moments they had spent playing games had most probably ended the lives of two people he loved more than anything in the universe.
He just lay there, trapped, crying, until the darkness around him turned to light as the sun rose.
"What is that thing?" Alex asked as they neared the place they had been directed to.
Without waiting for the interns to stop, B'Elanna pushed herself out of the wheelchair and hurried over to the broken glass of the Delta Flyer.
"Tom?" she called out, knowing her husband was nearby.
"Hey, you can't do that!" Christina called after her patient, rushing to follow her.
"Watch me," her charge growled, as she crawled past the broken glass and over to her husband's slumped form.
"Tom?" she whispered, touching his hair in a loving way. "Tom, honey, are you ok?"
The interns watched as the man stirred, bringing his head up from his elbows to look into his wife's eyes.
"B'Elanna," he said, some doubt in his voice. "Is that really you?"
She smiled, the lines her cheeks created making the tears more visible. "Yeah, it's really me. Are you ok?" she asked again.
Stepping back, she inspected his pilots' chair.
"No, I'm stuck here. I can't turn around or get out of the chair. Who are those people with you?" He had finally seen the interns and wondered who they were.
"They're doctors, and they're here to help us. Where are Kathryn and Annika?" she asked, looking around again in sudden desperation.
"Over there," Tom said, pointing behind him. "But I don't know where your two Engineers are, I started to panic when I couldn't see you, or them for that matter."
In a hurry, Alex and George, wanting to be heroes, jumped over the broken glass and rushed towards the unconscious women.
"This one's pregnant!" Alex announced loudly from Kathryn's body. "She's breathing steadily, but not in a good position for her or the baby!"
"Her name's Kathryn," B'Elanna whispered. "And she's six months pregnant with twins, in very good health, and will probably be annoyed because of the lack of caffeine intake and the fact that we crashed," she continued softly. "Chakotay was right."
"This one appears to be fine, just twisted too much to be of any good!" George yelled. "Her arm's broken and they both have head traumas!"
"Her name's Annika," Tom whispered this time. "She's about three months pregnant with her first child, a daughter. Kathryn's having girls as well," he added.
Christina sighed, and put a frustrated hand to her forehead. "I'll have to run back to the hospital to get gurneys, and I'll bring McDreamy and Satan with me in someone's car."
As she turned to leave, B'Elanna called her back. "Wait, Christina."
The woman turned around.
"Thank you," she said softly. "For everything. Thanks so much."
Christina yang simply nodded in return and ran off towards Seattle Grace.
Meredith and Izzie turned back to the patients in front of them. "Well, we should have you moved for when she gets back, Tom."
"That's something I agree with," he muttered.
With that, the four remaining interns and their patient, the one who could move, set out to help the other three from their predicaments.
So, that was long. Well, not really, but I got writers block half way through so to me it felt wrong. The next chapter will be from Voyager's perspective, and how much trouble the girls are in when the boys find them. cough giggle cough I'm so evil!
And I'm really happy because Grey's Season 2 comes out on DVD on Thursday and I have just started watching DS9 on DVD, which is awesome!! Yay me!
