Like Mother Like Daughter
Chapter 1
**Disclaimer: I don't own ER or any of the characters. I'm not sure who does but I wish it was me. I do however own Emma, Darryl Weaver and any other characters who may appear in this fic and not the usual show.**
"Doctor Carter…wake up, we've got an MVA coming in." Dr. John Carter wished he could somehow sleep through Haleh's voice but it just wasn't happening. He tried to shake the sleepiness away but it was hard to wake up after only 25 minutes of sleep.
Carter stumbled into Trauma One where a young girl with fire-red hair was laying on the table covered with blood. Nurse Abby Lockhart filled him in. "Drunk driver hit and run, he hit a pole a few blocks later and was taken to Mercy. This ones mom was DOA and Luka's working on her dad. He looks pretty bad…" They could both hear Dr. Luka Kovacs' strong Croatian voice echo, "Time of death…1:24am"
Carter shook his head in disgust. He went to work on the young girl whose name he learned was Emma. She was stable but he could see from the blood on the sheet that at least one leg was a mess. He pulled the sheet back and gasped. Emma's right leg was severed and barely attached. It was a miracle she was unconscious not to react to the pain it must have caused. Her leg was going to need surgery as soon as possible. "Page Corday" Carter yelled. "She's coming around Carter…" Carter moved up to girls head. "Hi Emma sweetie, my name's Doctor Carter…your going to be just fine, can you tell me how old you are?" Emma mouthed that she was thirteen. "Carter look…" Carter followed Abby's eyes to Emma's legs. How had he missed it? Her left leg was thin and had almost no muscle mass. It was twisted in awkwardly at the knee and it was obviously not twisted because of the accident. The whole leg was encased in a plastic and metal brace from hip to toe that was cracked and badly broken. Carter moved back up to the face that reminded him so much of someone. "Emma do you always wear this brace?" The girl mouthed yes. "Do you use crutches to walk?" Again the answer was yes. Why did this girl seem so familiar?
Just then Dr. Elizabeth Corday walked into the room. She looked as the girl's legs where Abby was removing the brace from the thin, twisted leg. Her eyes traveled to the severed right leg and in her mind she knew the chances of saving it were very slim.
"Everything ok in here?" Dr. Kerry Weaver stuck her head in. When she saw the girls face her own got pale and her eyes traveled down to Emma's legs. When she saw what was there she turned and awkwardly ran out of the room banging her weak leg on a gurney. She stumbled to the floor and picked herself up and dragged her leg into the lounge.
Stay tuned for more! Please respond, its my first fic in a loooong time!!
