Chapter 3: A Party For Elizabeth


Elizabeth yawned as she stood in her closet dressed in her robe. Searching through the many outfits hanging before her. "Ugh!" she mumbled as she rubbed her bulging belly. "Nothing fits anymore!" She sighed as she finally settled on a gray sweater and a long skirt with and elastic waist band. She tugged on the waist band. "Just 3 more months" she told herself. She looked at herself in the mirror . She smiled as she left her bedroom and headed downstairs.


She walked to the kitchen. The smell of waffles filled the air as she walked in. Ella was in her highchair , Rachel was setting the table, and Mark was busy making the waffles that she was smelling. Rachel smiled "Morning Elizabeth you look nice" Elizabeth smiled "Thank you Rachel I thought I better look nice for my last shift for awhile" She rubbed her belly "After what happened with Ella I'm not taking any chances" Mark walked over to the table and set a plate full of waffles down. He leaned down and kissed her softly. "So are you ready for your party" he asked.


Elizabeth smiled "Oh I'm thrilled can't you tell" Mark giggled "Oh yeah I can tell" The next half hour was spent eating breakfast. Mark washed the dishes while Elizabeth made her way to the front room to get her coat. "Honey I'm leaving" she yelled to Mark. He emerged from the kitchen drying his hands on a towel. He walked over to her wrapping his arm around her waist he kissed her softly. "Have fun" he said "I'll pick you up after the party" she nodded "Okay" she replied. He smiled "I love you" he said as she walked out the door. "I love you too Mark" she replied as she left.


Later on that after noon she scrubbed out of her final surgery for a few months. She threw her gown and gloves in the trash. She went to the locker room and changed out of her scrubs. When she left the locker room Ramono was standing there. "Robert" she said. He smiled a little. "Lizzie I just wanted to wish you luck and give you this" he handed her a present decorated in pink and blue ribbons. "Its for the bun you have in the oven" he told her. Elizabeth was surprised "Robert I'm touched, Thank you" she said as she gave him a small hug. He nodded "Take care of yourself Lizzie I'll see you in a few months." He said as he walked away. She smiled as she watched him disappear around the corner.


Elizabeth walked to the elevator and rode down to the ER. She noticed alot of temps floating around. She figured the girls were getting ready over at Doc Magoo's. She started toward the double doors at ambulance bay. "Elizabeth" Carter called out. He walked over to her. "I just wanted to say congratulations to you and Mark" he told her. She smiled and hugged him. "Thank you Carter " he smiled "You know we're gonna miss you around here" She smiled "Aww Carter that's sweet but I'll be back and you know you and Susan are always welcome to come over any time you want" Carter hugged her. "Thank you Elizabeth and good luck" he told her before returning to work.


She left the hospital and headed across the street to Doc Magoo's. She saw someone standing outside the diner. She smiled "Hey, how are you" He smiled "I'm great but I miss you and believe it or not I actually miss County" Elizabeth smiled "Ha! I knew you'd miss it Peter" she giggled as she hugged him. "So what brings you back anyway" she asked. He smiled well I dropped Reese off at Jackie's and I dropped Cleo off here for your party." He replied. She was a bit surprised that Cleo had come. "Really Cleo is here" she asked. He nodded "Yep they're all in there waiting on you" he told her. "Well I better get inside then" she hugged Peter one last time before walking into Doc Magoo's.

Elizabeth couldn't believe all the trouble her friends had gone through. Doc Magoo's was decorated with pink and blue streamers and balloons. On the counter was a big cake and there was a big banner. *Good Luck Elizabeth!!* was painted across it. She smiled at the room full of friends that surrounded her. Susan, Kerry, Jing Mei, Cleo, Abby, Randi, Conni, Lily, Lydia, Chuni, Haleh, Shirley(the surgical nurse), and Rachel all stood before her greeting her with smiles.


Elizabeth spent the remainder of the day talking, laughing , eating cake, and opening presents with her friends. As the party ended she hugged each one of her friends thanking them for everything. By the time everyone had left she was exhausted. Rachel helped her gather her gifts. They went outside where Mark was waiting for them. "Hey, how was the party" he asked as he helped Elizabeth into the car. She smiled "It was great, really great" she said softly as she looked back at Rachel and Ella sound asleep in her car seat. Mark got into the car and the drove home in silence.
