Okay this chapter focuses less on Emicah and more on Dr. Bandari and her husband. I know a world renowned surgeon probably wouldn't act this way, but even Gina Bandari has to have feelings too. I hated how they portrayed her as a stone cold woman with no heart. Maybe that's what they needed her to be like should the series have continued but this is my take of the storyline with Evan and Gina. Not necessarily character accurate. Also, anybody only reading this story for the Army Wives references, I'm pretty much done with Claudia Holton (Claudia Joy Holden). I will NOT kill off Claudia like they did in Army Wives nor will I kill Claudia Joy in my Army Wives fan fictions. She will live a long, healthy, happy life in both shows.
"Excuse me, can we talk?"
Dr. Bandari looked up to find her husband standing in front of her, "Evan?"
"How long has it been going on?"
"What?" asked Dr. Bandari.
"I know what you did Gina!" Evan said, "Now how long?"
"It was only once," she replied, "And it was a mistake. The only reason I slept with AJ is we both had a few too many."
"So that gives you an excuse to do it with someone who isn't me?" Evan asked furiously.
"No! Not at all!" Dr. Bandari shouted, "Evan, I love you!"
"Yeah you've been acting like it!" Evan shouted, "Working all the time. Coming home at three in the morning. Working on the weekends. Face it, Denver Memorial is your home now Gina. And you wonder why I want a divorce."
"Evan, I promise I'll change…"
"You've been promising that for years now. That blond intern of yours is more committed to her relationship than you are to yours," he said.
"Evan that's not true…"
"You don't even wear a wedding ring Gina," he stated, "Face it. It's over. I'm filing the divorce paper as soon as I can."
"Evan…"
"Goodbye Gina," he said and left.
Emily was on her way to check on one of her patients when she heard crying coming from Dr. Bandari's office, "It can't be Dr. Bandari. She never shows emotion," Emily thought. Emily slowly walked in and sure enough, Dr. Bandari had tears running down her cheeks, "Dr. Bandari, are you alright?"
Dr. Bandari glanced up and said, "Shouldn't you be working Dr. Owens?"
"Um yes. I was on my way to check on my patient when I heard someone… when I got a little distracted," she answered.
"I don't want to talk right now. I just want to be left alone," said Dr. Bandari.
Emily nodded and slowly made her way to her patient's room.
"So you ready for tonight?" asked Tyra when she saw Emily in the intern locker room.
"Not really. I'm not much of a party person," chuckled Emily.
"Well too bad. It's tradition. Same with Micah," said Tyra.
"Hey Pits," said Cassandra walking into the locker room.
"Lord, give me strength," Emily whispered under her breath and Tyra smirked.
"Do you have any idea what's wrong with Dr. Bandari?" asked Cassandra.
"I don't. And even if I did, I wouldn't tell anyone. Why?" asked Emily.
"She wants to come tonight," said Cassandra bluntly.
"WHAT?" asked Emily and Tyra at the same time.
"Yeah," Cassandra answered, "Unusual for her so something's up."
"No way can we do bachelorette party stuff with our boss there," said Tyra.
"You can't exactly tell your boss no either, so I guess we have no choice," admitted Emily.
Bar…
"I'd like to propose a toast!" said Tyra tapping her glass to get everyone's attention.
"Could you be any louder?" asked Emily.
"Of all of the interns, I think everyone, including Emily, will admit everyone thought Emily would get married last. But here we are, a month away from the wedding. So here's to Emily and a happy marriage."
"To Emily and a happy marriage," everyone chorused and took a drink. The girls, even Emily and Dr. Bandari, continued to party throughout the night. When the party was over, everyone went home. Except Dr. Bandari who could barely function.
"Dr. Bandari, do you need me to drive you home?" asked Emily who had only had one drink the whole night.
"No, I'll be fine," she said dropping her keys. Thankfully Emily beat her to them.
"Um, I mean this in the nicest way. I think's it's best if I drive you home," said Emily.
"We can't go home!" she shouted.
"Then where do you want me to take you?"
"Your apartment. Can I stay the night?"
A little shocked, Emily nodded, since she wasn't going to disagree with her boss, her tipsy boss at that, "Okay. Whatever you want."
So please review (ie constructive criticism). And I promise Dr. Bandari won't be this out of character for long.
