Threw Me for a Loop
Elaine took a deep breath before entering Robert's office. She was about to tell him her decision about being ER Chief. Truth was, the whole idea of her being in charge was what made her come to County: it would take a while for her to make it to administration.
"Robert," she whispered, closing her eyes and practicing so he wouldn't hear her, "I can't take the job. It's not as if I don't want it, I'm just not ready for it. Yeah, that's it. That'll do fine."
"I'm glad," replied Robert, opening his office door, "I thought it would be to hard to pursue other interests if we were both administration."
Her eyes popped open, and she looked slightly flustered, "Thank you. And, if I may ask, what would we be pursuing?"
"This," he answered, pressing his lips firmly against hers.
She melted into him, tasting the kiss as if it had been her first. It felt as if they were releasing years of sexual tension, realising what they could have done those so many times.
Robert pranced downstairs, still thinking of Elaine, to speak to Susan. She was the only other logical candidate for Chief of the ER and now it was time to offer her the job.
"Dr. Lewis!" he greeted, "Just the woman I wanted to see! Well, actually, I'd prefer to see Elaine, but business wise, I need to see you."
"What's this about anyway? Did I do something wrong?"
"Not at all, my dear, in fact you're doing something right. I'm offering you Chief of the ER."
Susan's eyes lit up with joy, "Me? Chief?"
"Yes you. I need an answer, though, and I haven't got all day."
"Yes! I'll take it! Thank you, Dr. Romano!"
"You're welcome. Now, please rule the minions while I return to Elaine."
He swaggered away happily; leaving an equally happy Susan to her ER, the ER she once left but came back to, and now it was hers.
Briana and Gallant nervously approached Carter in the hallway. News of Susan Lewis' promotion had just reached him, so he was in fairly good mood. He grinned when he saw the two coming.
"Hey there. Need anything?" Carter asked.
"Yes," Briana gulped, "We have something important to tell you."
"Say anything. Nothing can ruin my mood."
Gallant sighed, "Briana and I are dating. We thought it would be important to tell you if the relationship lasts, then it won't be against any rules."
"Why?"
"Because I'll be a doctor soon, and she'll still be a student."
"Oh, and you guys didn't want to be in trouble. It's no problem, really," he smiled, "In fact, I'm happy for you two. Go, have fun. I'm going to."
He walked away happily, with Briana and Michael standing there in the hall dumbfounded.
"I really thought he'd be mad," they both said, dumbfounded.
Gallant laughed before turning back to Briana, "Well, I guess this means I can do this."
Without a chance for her to answer, he kissed her in the middle of the ER to the view of the patients and doctors.
Abby sat in the large dining room of the mansion and waited for Carter. He told her he had something important to tell her. The first thing that came to mind was moving in and she laughed at the thought of living in a mansion. Never in a million years did she believe that she would have the chance to live in a mansion, and here it was. Unless, he wanted to talk about something else…but that couldn't be it, right?
The door to the dining room swung open and Carter raced in, "Sorry I'm late. Everyone's telling me stuff today. Susan's the new ER Chief and did you know Briana Knight and Michael Gallant are dating? Sure was news to me."
"Yeah, I heard Elaine discovered them a few weeks ago. I didn't say anything because I didn't know how you would react. So, what did you want to talk to me about?"
"Abby," John sighed, his brown eyes staring deeply at her, "I've been doing a lot of thinking. You know I've been in love with you for a while, right?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I figured that, since it would be pointless to date, why don't we just get married."
"What? Get married?"
"I knew you'd say that. So," he smirked, getting on one knee and pulling out a small, square box, "I was hoping this would help. So, Abigail Wyczenski, will you make me the happiest man alive?"
Abby's face lit up with joy, "Yes! I will!"
After slipping the ring on her small fingers, John pulled her into his embrace. He sighed, knowing he was going to hang by this moment for the rest of his life.
