Elizabeth sat on the floor outside of Recovery, with her head between her
knees, and sighed....
"Hell of a way to spend Independance Day" sighed Romano, walking out of
the OR
"Sats are ninety-two on forty per cent oxygen" sighed Elizabeth, bringing
her eyes to meet Romano's,
for once, sympathetic gaze
"Can't ask for better than that, good work" he coughed, rubbing his eyes
"Dr Corday?" said Romano's secretary
"Yes?" replied Elizabeth
"Yor mother's on the phone, she just heard what happened"
"Tell her I'm in surgery" said Elizabeth
"I told her you just got out" replied the secretary
"Thank you, appreciate that" said Elizabeth, sarcastically
"I'll talk to her" siad Robert walking away
"Thanks" sighed Lizzie, putting her head back between her knees
"Dr Corday?" Lizzie, looked up, quickly "She's waking up"
Elizabeth jumped up, and ran in to the room where her frail, post-op baby
sister lay
"Alex?" she spoke softly"Do you know where you are?"
**CUT TO OPENING CREDITS**
Alex's watery eys looked around the room, before focusing on Elizabeth
"There were several stab woinds, as you know, one laceration to your
proximal aorta" siad Lizzie,
Wishing it was'nt Alex she was saying this to "We had to perform a
thorocotamy after you arrested,
Then we brought you to the OR, there was some damage to your stomach, we
managed to repair that,
but we did have to remove your spleen" she paused "Im sorry"
Alex opened her mouth to speak....
"Alex you can't speak, you can whisper if I plug the trach. Do you want to
try that?"
She nodded in approval. Elizabeth stood up, and plugged the trach
"Remember, only whisper"
"I never meant to do this, but thankyou anyway" whispered Alex, straining
to do so
"I know, I know" said Lizzie, putting the trach back on
Alex tried to say something again, but Elizabeth had to lip-read for her
"What? The baby?" Elizabeth looked down at the floor, wiping a tear from
her eye, she continued
"Im sorry, the baby's gone" she finished, a solo tear running down her
cheek
Alex closed her eyes and winced in pain, just then, the phone rang
"They need me in the OR, I'll be back" said Lizzie, leaving the room
"Hold on, her Sats are down to 78" said the nurse, looking up suddenly
Elizabeth ran back over to the bed......
"Alex, can you hear me? Alex?? Fuck!!She's not responding, page Romano
now!!!!" shouted Lizzie
"Whats going on?" asked Robert, running in the room seeing the worried
look on Elizabeth's face
"Sats are falling, no response to painful stimulation" said Elizabeth
A different set of monitors started going crazy
"Shit! She's having a massive MI" yelled Robert
"Let's get her to the OR now, thorocotamy tray on standby" said Lizzie,
beginning to cry
"Elizabeth" said Benton, appearing out of nowhere "You're not working on
this one, if anything happens to her,
you'll never forgive yourself" he said, trying to sympathise
"He's right, you know" said Romano, agreeing with Peter for once
"But....., she my sister" said Lizzie, tears streaming doen her face
"That's the fucking reason why you can't work on this part, Lizzie, go in
the relatives room now!" ordered Peter,
his voice growing more forceful by the second
Elizabeth reluctantly watched as Peter and Romano wheeld Alex to the OR
She walked into the seemly empty relatives room, only to find half the ER
staff there
"Hey" said Mark, giving Elizabeth a hug, "How is she?"
Elizabeth began to sob her heart out, as she sank into a chair
"She's had a massive MI, Peter and Robert are working on her now" she
whispered, bringing her head up to meet the caring, worried gaze of Luka,
Carter, Kerry, Mark, Abby and Dave
"Oh god, this is all my fault" said Dave, breaking the silence
**MEANWHILE IN THE OR...**
"v-fib, resuming compressions" shouted Romano, over the noisy monitors
"Push another amp of atropine, now" yelled Peter
"Charge the paddles to 15" shouted Robert
"Charged" said the nurse
"Clear"
"Still in V-Fib" said Robert, hanging his head
"Charge to thirty"
"Clear!" shouted Peter
"Asystloe"
"Charge again, Clear!" the jerk of the paddles becoming so repetitive it
made Peter and Romano want to give up
"When ws the last epi?" asked Peter
"Four minutes ago"
"Push another seven milligrammes now!"
"Clear" shouted Robert
The beeping from the monitor became slow, monotone and continuous
"Ok, that's it, we've done everything we can" said Robert, heavily
"You're right..."sighed Peter, placing the paddles across Alex's open,
bloodstained chest
"I'll go tell Lizzie"said Peter, reluctantly leaving the OR
**IN THE RELATIVES ROOM**
"How long is it gonna be?" snapped Elizabeth, jumping to her feet
"Im sure they'll come and tell us when something happens" said Mark,
reassuringly
Just then, the door swung open and Peter Benton walked in
"Lizzie, you might want to sit down..." said Peter, lowering
Shaking, Elizabeth sank into a chair, and started sobbing deeply
"Im so sorry, we did every thing we could, we shocked her heart for 30
minutes" Peter sighed
Mark gestured for the others to leave the room, so he could comfort the
sobbing Elizabeth
"Lizzie, Lizzie, it's gonna be Ok, it's gonna be alright"
"Is it? My younger sister is dead and it's all my fault" cried Elizabeth,
sinking into Mark's arms
