Author Notes: This story is based in the future approximately 4 years. Sarah and Connor meet each other again about a year after Connor left Chicago. Which is about 6 years before this story is based.
Connor and Sarah were in the car his sister had arranged for them at the airport racing towards to the hospital. Connor was just going over the speed limit. They haven't heard anything from Claire since she called him earlier and that was about 3 hours ago and they were both anxious. "If you drop me off at the entrance you can then park the car into visitor parking areas" Sarah stated and Connor nodded back to her to acknowledge and that he agreed with the plan. As Connor slowing down in front the hospital Sarah opened the door, before he was fully stopped, which caused Connor to slam on the brakes "Sarah! Careful, we don't want to admit you too" "Sorry." She meekly smiled to Connor as she got out the car and Connor pulled off to visitor's car park.
Sarah took a deep breath and passed her hands over her hair and down the sides of her body just making sure she was put together and ready to visit her past, which didn't have some good memories. Now believing she was ready Sarah marched though a sparsely filled waiting room, which surprised her, but she wasn't going to let anything get in the way of her getting to her daughter. She walked into the ballpen which was quietish; however, most people were watching Will argue with another Doctor. "I don't care if you can remove me as her primary doctor, as her parents on insisting I'm her doctor, so with all due respect please leave." Realising Will was most likely talking about her daughter she marched towards them without anyone noticing and by this time Connor had just walked though the front doors as she approached on the other side of the department.
"Who the hell do you think you are? going against patient guardian's request." Sarah expressed slightly above normal level, but not shouting as loud as the two doctors in front of her. This caused them both to turn towards her, Will was slightly behind Dr Archer, therefore didn't see his smirk when realised whom had spoken. "I'm sorry madam, but this is none of your business." Dr Archer replied and turned back to Will. Whom looked slightly shocked and Dr Archer, Will quickly looked and Connor in the background whom was fast approaching Sarah and he looked outraged. He looked at Sarah and she looked furious.
'None of your business' statement kept running though both Connor and Sarah's head, Connor had just arrived and placed his hand on the small of Sarah's back and lowly utter in a voice that sounded like she was trying to contain the rage she was feeling. "None of my Business, I think you find it very is much my business." Now she was ready for a fight and he was her unwilling victim. Dr Archer back to her and saw she was now joined by Connor whom looked as pissed as she did. "And why is that?" He asked, in a condescending tone. "Because we…" Sarah said while pointing between her and Connor "are her parents" finally pointing towards her daughter behind him. "There please leave and let Dr Halstead treat our daughter, as requested" Connor articulated firmly. He walked themselves and Sarah towards Will and bumped shoulders with Dr Archer to get into his daughter's room.
"Dr Archer, I will now talk to her parents about treatment options, if you have any issues or concerns about that, please address these with Ms Goodwin. I'm sure she will handle any issue." Will verbalised, then walked in the room and closed the door behind him. He turned towards the parents and he saw Connor hugging Sarah whispering in her ear, trying to calm her down, which now days can next a while, especially with the pregnancy hormones in play at this moment in time.
"Wow, Reese. Fierce. Didn't know you could be that Fierce." Will uttered, which broke the tension in the room and the couple chuckled. "Oh, that was nothing, that was a very contained Momma bear Sarah. When I heard him say 'none of your business', I was hoping for full on Momma bear." Connor stated while greeting Will with a handshake which turned into a hug. They parted and Will turned towards Sarah "And it's Rhodes, not Reese. I was never like this before marrying this one." Sarah pointing to Connor behind her and then hugged Will herself.
They all turned towards the little girl in the room. Sarah and Connor went to her right side, Will to the left. Connor was closest to Elizabeth's head and couldn't resist petting her hair for a while. "What's the verdict Will?" Sarah questioned. Will took a deep breath and starting to report to them what was wrong with their little girl. "She doing well actually. If I understand it from the PD Carla pushed Elizabeth out of the way and took the blunt of the hit. That's where your sister is, in case you were wondering, waiting in the surgical waiting room for news about Carla. Elizabeth appeared to have cracked a few ribs, lucky not broken, but she needs to be careful for the next few weeks to make sure she doesn't in the end break them. She has a big bump on her head; however, no skull fracture or swelling that I can see. I think the CT scan showed a concussion, but Neuro hasn't seen the scan yet. I'm waiting for Dr Abrams to have look, but his in surgery at the moment. His resident said he would let him know once his out. We have Elizabeth under a light sedation so she doesn't exacerbate the rib injury. Other then that she okay. Understand show no bleeding in the abdomen and her chest was clear." "Oh, thank God. I had the worst scenario's going though my head." Sarah muttered while kissing her daughter's hand and while Connor kissed Elizabeth's forehead.
"Okay, I let you both stay with your daughter a while. I'll be back for a check up in about an hour. It's great that you are back, despite everything. Great to see you both, speak more later" Will stated as in walked out of the room and watched Connor room Sarah slowly to the chair by their daughter head and pulled out one of the reserve folding chairs from the cupboard for themselves to sit on. Connor settled in the chair next Sarah and grabbed her nearest to them and brought it up to his kissed and whispered something to her, which made Sarah turned to him and in response place a long closed-mouth kiss on his lips and their hands settle on her baby bump. He still found it slightly weird that Connor and Sarah married with a child and one on the way, but for some reason they worked. He was happy, they were happy, despite the circumstances.
That's all for now. Until next time.
