He said it! He saiiiiiid it! I'm going to cry! She already is, tears are pouring down Abby's cheeks. Her mouth is opened, an answer perhaps?
"Yes, John, of course I'll marry you!" He slipped the ring on her finger, I squealed to myself, They hugged and then kissed, everyone cheered and congratulated them. Then the redheaded doctor stormed into the room. I started to hum the wicked witch of the west theme as I shyly edged closer to the admit area.
"What the hell is going on!? Why is Abby crying? " She screamed. Wasn't it obvious that they were happy tears? She didn't look even the least bit sad.
A blonde doctor spoke up "Its okay Kerry! Carter just proposed to Abby, it's a big deal"
"Congrats you two, but there's patients wondering around" She pointed to me. I jumped back to the wall. Pure chicken shit Sienna. This woman frightened me more then she should. She's just a person.
Carter walked over to me and guided me to the group of doctors. I guess he could tell I was intimidated. I hate being pointed out. 'Thanks Kerry, I hate you' I thought to myself dryly. The crowd looked at me, Abby smiled at me and looked at Carter questionably. I looked at him the same way. Feeling terrified yet excited, being the center of attention is a kind of cool feeling. But I'm not the one getting married here, why is he putting the spotlight on me?
"This is Sienna Courgious. You see, I was planning to propose to Abby at exactly 3:00. But a little before then, I found Sienna outside in Cardiac Arrest. This shook Abby up because Sienna had been here since 7:00 complaining of a rash caused by a fever no one was aware of. Abby had spoken with her briefly and hadn't had the chance to assist her. (Everyone around gives me pitied looks. I blushed, I'm sure really brightly, I tried to say I wasn't that sick but Carter continued to speak) So after resuscitating her, Abby wanted to stay so she could talk to her when she woke up. By the time she did it was nearly 3:00. I felt it was too late to propose and have it be perfect. But when Abby left the room, Sienna told me that she heard nurses gossiping about my plans (he shot a look at Haleh and Chuny, they laughed.) and she expressed her feelings of guilt. I told her not to worry about it and that I'd finish my task later. But, you see, she's a pushy one. She told me that she couldn't hold me back and that I should continue with my plans, and I did. So what I'm getting to here, is that, what you all have just seen is a lot of this little girls doing. And I am very glad that she did it!" Wow. I can't believe it, he practically made a speech about me. Should I bow or something? Oh god, what do I do?
Everyone smiled and said nice things like "What a nice girl" and such. Abby Walked over to me and gave me a hug.
"Well Sienna, Thanks for saving my Fiancé's proposal!" She said with a laugh, emphasizing the word Fiancé. I could see it on her face that she was experiencing more happiness than anyone in the room.
I was probably still a bright glowing red at that point "Um, you're welcome I guess, anytime" I said with a smile. This is ridiculous I need to calm down. I took a deep breath. "I couldn't let the one thing I wanted to see today be ruined," I said with a confident smile. Dr. Carter and Abby smiled at me. The rest of the room laughed.
"Okay, Abby and Carter, go home you guys are off shift. Congrats to both of you. Everyone else back to work!" That Kerry woman said "Sienna, you need to get back to your room, we don't want your heart stopping again" She said a little more gently to me with a smile. She knows how to smile? Wow. The crowd then broke up. I walked back to my room. And sat on the hospital bed. My mom would be here soon and I would be moved to a real room, not a trauma area. Carter walked in with Abby, bringing me out of my thoughts.
"Hey Sienna, how're you feeling? Said Abby with a smile. I glanced at her left hand. That ring did have a rock on it. It makes me want a doctor to marry!
"I'm feeling great. Same for you I'm sure"
"Yeah, I'm pretty good," She said as she smiled at Dr. Carter. Just then the door opened.
"Sienna! Are you okay? How are you feeling. I'm so sorry it took me this long to get here! I was so worried about you, oh my god honey" My mom ran over to me giving me a hug and kiss.
"Mom I'm great really, this is the Doctor and Nurse that helped me" I said pointing at Abby and Carter.
"Hi, I'm Abby Lockhart, the nurse manager here at county general" She shook my moms hand
"I'm Dr. John Carter" He shook her hand "Your daughter is just fine now, Mrs. Courgious. Sienna is a very strong girl." He said and smiled at me.
"Yes, she is." Abby chimed in
"She always has been, I can't thank you enough for helping her"
"It was my pleasure, Sienna is quite helpful herself" Dr. Carter said before my mom could question him he said, "A doctor from Pediatrics should be with you very soon. Abby and I must be departing now. Sienna, I hope you have a quick recovery!"
"Yes, Sienna and get some rest, you've had quite a day, I'll be by to visit you tomorrow" Abby said. They then exited the room. My mom looked at me questioningly.
"Mom, you will never believe what happened today" I said while watching Abby and Carter walk down the hall, hand in hand.
