Truth Be Told
Disclaimer: I do not own these characters.
Dana sank down into the couch in her office and looked helplessly at Nick, not knowing how to express her feelings, she knew that she loved Nick but, what had happened with Peter was new and exciting, maybe that's what she needed. After all she had seen Nick hanging all over the nurse's, why couldn't she do the same thing?
"Dana are you just going to sit there?"
"What do you want me to say?"
"How about the truth"
"Okay, Nick, I slept with Peter, is that it? is that what you wanted to hear?"
"Yes, I mean no, why would you?"
Dana heavily sighed
"God, Nick I don't know" sarcasm filled her voice.
" Dammit Dana, what do you mean you don't know?"
"You were'nt showing me any attention, you were giving it all to those nurse's"
"And what two wrongs make a right?"
"I don't want to play this game with you anymore"
"what game?"
"This love game"
"it'a not a game, Dana"
"Yeah right, Then why are there so many players?"
Nick fell silent.
"Oh, okay, Nick, I get it, it's okay for you to screw around with anybody you want but, when I do it, it's wrong?"
"Yeah, you're the woman, you're suppose to be waiting on me to sew my oats not the other way around"
"That's so sexist, you just expect me to sit here and wait for you?"
"I thought you wanted to wait?"
"Well, I thought you were ready?"
"I may never be ready"
Nick was extremely mad that she was arguing back at what he thought he was right about. He didn't mean for the words to slip but, somehow they did.
"What did you say?, You may never be ready? What the hell is that all about? Dana's tone got louder and the anger in her voice rang and carried.
"All the I miss you's and I love you's and I'm working on being ready crap, why did you say all of those things when you knew you did'nt want to have a real relationship?"
"Maybe, I thought that was what you wanted to hear, what you needed to hear, I thought I was going to be ready but the more I thought about it, the more I doubted it, I'm not ready for this"
"Well, other people are Nick, I can't believe you, I can't believe you would do this to me"
"Well, no tears Dana?, or are you waiting for me to leave before you cry?"
"Why should I cry over you? you would never cry over me"
"Well"
"Well? is that all you have to say, damn you Nick, get out"
"What?"
"You heard me, get out of my office"
"Fine" His last word to her came out as a shout.
He flung open her office door and stormed out. Dana just sat there and couldn't help but laugh aloud, she should have known he would do this. Outside the door stood Peter.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Why not?. Laughter is the best medicine"
"I heard just about everything that was said, I think everyone did"
"Know you what Peter?, I don't care, I don't care anymore, about what people think, what they think about me, as long as I'm happy that's all that matter's".
"What makes you happy Dana?"
Dana looked up at Peter who was standing in the doorway, her expression was careless and her emotions were no longer on the surface.
"A child, being pregnant would make me happy. You know what they say, if you want things done right, you have to do them yourself"
"Taking matter's into your own hands?"
Dana smiled as she got up from the couch and walked towards Peter, she stopped right in front of him and kissed him lightly on the lips.
"I am taking matter's into my own hands"
"good"
Peter smiled, he knew she wanted to be with him and he was actually hoping she would break it off with Nick. He would have a child with her, anything to make them happy.
"Thank you" she whispered in his ear.
Dana then pulled back and walked past him out the door. She knew what she had to do now.
"Dana, what are you doing?"
She spun around and seen Peter standing across from her office, along with Lana, Lu and other RWHC staff watching. Dana smiled and tilted her head to the side.
"I'm going through with the artificial insemination"
"What?"
"Taking matter's into my own hands, doing what's best for me, what makes me happy, I don't need a man to do this because I know that I'm strong enough to do it alone". Dana then turned around and walked down the hallway.
