A Christmas To Remember
Chapter 6

The mood in the ER changed as everyone gathered around the Christmas tree. There was singing, laughter, and smiles. Doug smiled "I still can't believe it Carter you and Weaver married" Carter wrapped his arm around Kerry's waist resting his hand on her stomach. "Yep she's the old ball and chain" Kerry playfully hit him and he giggled. Tess came running over to show Doug the picture she had colored. Doug smiled and told her it was beautiful he hugged her before she went back over to join her sister. Carter smiled as he watched Doug with his little girl. "I hope I can be as good of a father as you are" Doug turned and looked at Carter with wide eyes. Carter nodded "Yep Kerry and I are having a baby. She had a miscarriage last Christmas and after a year of hoping we were about to give up but I guess you could say we got our own little Christmas miracle" Doug smiled. He hugged Carter and then he hugged Kerry "I'm so happy for the both of you"


Carol smiled as she sat with Elizabeth and Abby. She noticed Mark as he walked over to join Doug and Carter. She sighed "I can't believe it Elizabeth a brain tumor." Elizabeth nodded "Yes and it was very scary for awhile but he's doing just fine now" Carol smiled "I wish Doug and I would have made it to your wedding but it just had to go and rain" Elizabeth giggled "That's okay I have a picture" she pulled a little picture book from her lab coat. "There it is our wedding photo" Carol grinned "Aww you two look so happy" Abby giggled "Speaking of weddings" she put her hand out so that Elizabeth and Carol could see it. Carol's eyes grew wide "Wow that's some rock" "So who's the lucky guy" Abby smiled "Luka" "He's so sweet we were suppose to go to the Bahamas for Christmas and he went and turned the lounge into the Bahamas and he proposed" Carol and Elizabeth hugged her. "Congratulations Abby you're very lucky Luka is a great guy" Abby looked over at Luka he was sitting on the floor coloring with Kate and Tess with a huge smile on his face. She smiled.

Peter smiled as he watched Reese showing Suzy his Disney World snow globe. He looked at Susan "Can you believe that Ramono gave that to him" Susan laughed "Robert Ramono the Chief of staff giving a Christmas gift that's a Christmas miracle isn't it" Peter grinned "Yeah I guess it is" "Suzy sure has grown and Chloe she looks great and happy" Susan smiled as she looked over at Chloe who was playing peek a boo with baby Joey.

Jerry was over at the admit desk digging through a stack of CD's. He found the one he was looking for he put it in the CD player and pressed play and a few seconds later Jingle Bell Rock could be heard through out the ER. Dave shouted "Yeah it's party time!" He started chasing a giggling Jing Mei around with some mistletoe. Everyone was having a great time laughing and playing.

Jerry put another CD in and Silent Night began to play. Everyone gathered around the Christmas tree. Carter had his arms around Kerry, Luka had his arms around Abby, Mark had his arms around Elizabeth, Dave had is arms around Jing Mei , Doug had his arms around Carol, and Peter had his arms around Cleo as they sang along with the music.

Next Jerry played Santa Claus is Coming to Town for the kids. They loved it they jumped around and sang along to the music. All the kids got excited when they heard "Ho ho ho Merry Christmas" Everyone turned in time to see Santa Claus step off the elevator. The kids rushed over to him jumping and giggling. He opened his sack and passed out a present to Reese, Suzy, Kate, Tess, and Diana. He walked over to Rachel and handed her two gifts one for her and one for Ella. He then handed one to Chloe for baby Joey. He made his way over to Carol and handed her a present for D.J. The last present he had he handed to Kerry as he lightly touched her stomach. "Everyone stared at the secret Santa wondering who he was and where he came from but he disappeared before they could find out who he was.

Once he was safe in the elevator Dr. Ramono removed his hat and beard and smiled slightly thinking "if they only knew they'd never believe it" he had to admit he was glad that he had over heard Kerry's earlier conversation with Carter handing her that last gift was a genius. He rode back up to his office. He was happy knowing he had fooled everyone.

The Christmas music still played in the ER as everyone talked about the visit from the secret Santa. Jerry changed the CD to The Christmas Song. Everyone gathered around the Christmas tree to sing again.

Randi glanced at the tv and saw Tracy Butler she was saying the snow had stopped and that the roads and airports were open once again. Randi announced to everyone that the snow had stopped and that the roads and airports were open again but nobody seemed to care they all went on singing. Randi shrugged her shoulders turned off the tv and went to join the others as they sang by the tree. Rachel hugged Elizabeth "This Christmas will be a Christmas to remember " Elizabeth smiled as her eyes glistened with tears "Yes it will Rachel yes it will" Merry Christmas!
