Crybaby
~Abby's Apartment~
Abby awoke to the screams of her 4-week-old daughter, Mirella. Abby had just brought Mirella home the week before. They kept her in the hospital so long to make sure that she didn't have any internal bleeding, etc. They also wanted to monitor Abby. They were both doing ok, although Abby did have a fracture, and a concussion- but she had recovered from that.
Abby: "I'm coming baby.." She said walking down the hall to Mirella's nursery. She reached down and picked her up.
Abby rocked the baby back and forth, but her cry's only got louder. She walked down the hall towards the kitchen with Mirella.
Abby: "Ok, Mirella, would you like a bottle?" Abby took a bottle filled with her breast milk from the refrigerator and heated it up. She tested it on her arm before she put it into her daughter's mouth. Mirella gently sucked on it.
Abby: "Now are you going to stop crying?"
Mirella continued to drink her from her bottle. Abby Rocked her back and forth with one arm, the other one holding the bottle straight so she could drink from it.
20 minutes later the baby was back in her crib, asleep.
Miraculously she slept the rest of the night. At 8am the phone rang. Abby was pulled out of her deep sleep.
"Hello?" she said tiredly into the receiver.
"Good Morning! How are you doing?" A cheery voice at the other end said.
She knew it was John. "um..i'm fine. Tired, but fine." She answered, laying back in bed. That wouldn't last long as her baby woke up, probably from the loud rings of the phone.
"That's good..not about the tired part I mean..How is Mirella doing?" John asked
"She's fine, too. She's crying because you woke us up, but she's ok.." Abby told him with a bit of anger in her voice. But that was to be expected with all the hormones and being deprived of sleep. John took no offense.
"Good, good. Listen, I'm going to come over after my shift is done..that's gunna be around..7 tonight." He informed Abby.
"Alright" She told his as she rocked the baby back to sleep. "I'll see you then..I've got to go feed her and change her diaper, which by the way you'll be doing later." She smiled.
"No problem, talk to you later. Give Mirella a kiss for me" He said.
"Ok, goodbye john!" Abby said.
~The hospital~
John: "Good morning everyone!" He announced walking through the doors of the ambulance bay.
Everyone: "Hey/good morning/ hi"
John walked back into the lounge to get ready for work. He saw Susan sitting on the couch watching Regis and Kelly on the TV.
Susan: "Oh, hey John."
John: "Morning.."
Susan: "How the baby and Abby doing? I was going to call but I didn't want to wake the baby.."
John: "Yeah I made that mistake this morning.." John chuckled "But, uh, they're both doing good. Abby's a little tired, but I'm going to go over there later and help her out"
Susan giggled as well. "Well, I'll help her out too..I love babies! Ask her when I can come over when you see her later"
John: "Sure thing" He said walking out of the lounge and into the hall.
Kerry: "Whoops, sorry John." Kerry said crashing into him by accident.
John: "ah its ok, Kerry. Before you ask, Mirella is fine. Everyone has been asking me"
Kerry smiled. "That good."
They both went their separate directions. John went to check the board. Helah immediately told him that a drug overdose was coming in.
John: "Oh boy.."
John went out to the ambulance bay with Mark following. They stood in silence. The ambulance quickly came.
Mark: "what do we have?"
EMT: " Young girl, about 15 years old. Friend found her lying on the floor of her bed room. Didn't know how long she had been there. No drugs were found on the scene which leads us to believe that someone left her there.."
Carter: "Alright lets get her into trauma 2."
Mark: "we're going to need a TOX screen and a head CT incase she hit her head when she fell."
They rushed her into the room.
Susan came down the hall and saw a girl that looked about 16 standing outside of the drug overdoses room.
Susan: "Honey? Do you know this girl?"
Girl: "Yeah..She's my best friend. I tried to get her to stop taking drugs, and to stay away from Vic, but she said she needed them..and now look what happened!" She said hysterically crying.
Susan touched her arm, tears were forming behind her eyes. Susan was an emotional person, especially with things like this. "She's going to be ok, sweetie..Whats your name?"
Girl: "Alexandria..." she said trying to hold back the tears that were rushing out of her eyes.
Susan: "Ok, Alexandria, I'm Dr. Susan Lewis, I'm going to take you to the cafeteria..I don't want you to watch what then have to do to you friend..by the way, what is her name?"
Alexandria: " She's Brianna..Brianna Di Volare"
Susan: "thanks Alexandria..I'm just going to go tell the doctors that and then I'll be right back"
Alexandria nodded, unable to say anything because she was too chocked up.
Helah came in the room also. "TOX screen's back, it shows heroine and cocaine. And a lot of it."
Mark: "Great.alright, lets pump her! Haleh, get me some tubing! Now!"
Susan: "John, that girl out there is her best friend..she said that she gets drugs from some guy named Vic, and her name is Brianna Di Volare."
John: "Alright see if you can get some numbers of the parents.."
Susan nodded and began walking out. Just then Mark shoved a tube down Brianna's throat and Alexandria sat down in a ball on the floor in tears. Susan came out and reassured her that everything would be ok, as the 2 sat on the floor.
Elizabeth began walking down the hall and gave her a strange look until she saw that the girl was crying.
Susan: "Elizabeth, can you find out the numbers of Brianna Di Volare's parents?"
Alexandria sniffled and said "I know them"
They got up and walked to the nurses station where Susan dialed the numbers that Alexandria told her.
~ Abby's Apartment- 8:01p.m. ~
Abby: "Well, Mirella, you're daddy is late..like always" Mirella gurgled and the doorbell buzzed.
Abby put the baby in the little bassinet that was next to her. Her mother had bought it for her, along with many other things. She went over and opened the door with the top lock still on. She saw it was john, unlocked it, and opened the door. A gush of cool air filled the room and Abby quickly shut the door.
John: "Sorry I'm late..lot of majors today."
Abby: "Its ok.." She sounded like she wanted to add something but at the last seconded decided not to.
John led himself to the kitchen to get a box of cereal while Abby sat on the couch. He came back and sat down next to her. He noticed Mirella was awake and slowly reached in and picked her up.
John: "My little girl.."
Abby sweetly smiled at the 2. Before then she couldn't see John as a father but now she could see it. She watched him hold his daughter. Abby noticed that she has Johns big beautiful eyes..and although they both had brown hair, she knew Mirella would have John's hair.
Mirella began crying.
John looked at Abby and he got up to go to the changing table. Abby watched him walk away with their daughter. It was then it really hit her that her and her best friend, and they person she loved more than anything else in the world other than her daughter, had a baby together. That child was theirs. She got up, wiping a tear from her face and stood in the door way of Mirella's nursery. She watched John change THEIR daughter and she could help but. Happy tears of course.
John layed Mirella down in her crib and covered her with a blanket. The baby yawned and gently shut her eyes. John kissed her cheek and whispered goodnight.
He walked out and shut the door most of the way, as not to wake her up if her and Abby were talking or something.
They sat down on the couch.
John: "So."
Abby: "Wanna listen to the radio?" without waiting for his answer, she flipped it on.
Enya- Only time was on. They looked at each other. Abby switched to a different station, and Enya was on that also. Abby giggled, but John remained with a serious look on his face. He looked into Abby's eyes and said "I love you."
Abby: " I love you too, John"
He leaned over and kissed her with his big, slightly moist lips.
