Chapter 11: Countdown, Day 8
Don walks to the Emily´s apartment. He is wearing a black tuxedo. His hair is ordered and combed. He pushed the door bell.
"Wait a minute" – she says.
She checks for the last time her makeup in the mirror. Her hair is roll over her head, with a few strands around her face.
Emily opens the door. Don was in shock.
"God… you look amazing"
Emily was wearing a black long dress, with broad off shoulder straps and a deep neck.
"Really? do you like it?"
"I love it… you look gorgeous."
"You look handsome... thanks for invited me"
He offered his arm: "let´s go beauty"
She grabs a coat and locks the door.
Today is one of the many charity event of the city, and all the team was invited… Don doesn't say any word of that.
At the room
All the team is in the door. They are waiting for Don.
"Look there's he go" – Adam says.
Don and Emily walks holding their hands; Mac smiles… also Jo.
"Guys… I want introduce to you the Dr. Emily Davenport… Em… this is my other family."
"Nice to meet you… all of you" – she says.
"Welcome" – Jo hugs her, and the rest of the team greets.
They walk inside the room
Later… after the dinner
Don and Emily are dancing… meanwhile the rest of the team are chatting in the table.
"I have a feeling with this girl… "– says Lindsay.
"Like what?" – Danny asks
"I feel like I seen her face before"
"How is it?" –says Adam
"I don't remember"
"He looks happy" – Jo smiles.
"Yes… it's been almost four years since Angell's death… he deserves a new opportunity in love" – Mac says this and holds Christine's hand so tight.
Christine and Jo knew more details from the past of Don that night.
The song finish and Don escorts Emily to the table. He walks to the bathroom.
"Well Emily… what about you?" – asks Adam
She smiles: "Well… I'm Emily… I studied medicine, and I'm finishing my fellowship in pediatrician specialist in neonatal care… also I'm the youngest of the three siblings… I have two nephews and I'm here in NY since almost six months ago."
"Where you study?" –ask Sheldon.
"California… UCLA, and I'm working here in the Presbyterian until my oral board of the fellowship and I'm waiting for my results." – She smiles.
"UCLA?" – Asks Sid – "Do you know Dr Matthew Aniston?"
"Yes… he was my supervisor in surgery." – Both smiles.
"And when is your board?" – asks Sheldon.
" In seven days from today… and my sponsor asks Don that he had to keep me away from the books… but I want to read some notes since the day after tomorrow."
"Who is your sponsor?" – asks Sid
"Dr. Livingstone"
"Really… is he still in pediatrics?"- says Sheldon
"Yeah… he is so wise"
Don walks to the table: "Hey… could you stop to interrogate my date"
All laughs
"Everything is fine Don, they are so nice… Did you know that Sheldon knows Dr. Livingstone?"
"No way… that man is so nice… he ask me that keep her away from the books"
"But we have a deal" – Em says.
"I remember Doll"
Emily stands up: "I'll go to the lady's room" – she walks away.
All the sights came over Don
"Man… she is great" – Sheldon says.
"Don… she is a lovely young woman… I'm so glad for you" – Jo told him.
"When do you meet her?" – Asks Danny
"Near the hospital… a few weeks before Lucy's surgery"
"I knew that I seen her before… she was on the recovery room… she was so sweet with us" – exclaims Lindsay.
"Ok, ok… don't be so excited… she have to back to LA in ten days… so… we just have enjoying our time together."
"No way…" – says Adam
"Yeah… there's no place to keep working in the hospital, until the next fall, so she will be gone"
"Shhh, she is coming" – Danny says.
"Everything is ok?"
"Yes doll… just are remembering some cases".
She sits and Don holds her hand all the rest of the evening.
