"I can't believe I'm back here! Wow, I nearly died and then I saved a-"
"Marriage! I know Sienna; I've heard this story six hundred times! Plus your were on the phone with me when you passed out. I'm just not cool enough to be remembered huh? I see how it is!" Bailey joked, I pulled my car into the parking space at county.
"I still can't believe you sliced your hand that badly! Is it okay?" I asked concerned. Back at Bailey's house, where we were at home from college for Christmas break. She had picked up a broken glass and lacerated her hand. The bleeding was controlled but it looked like she needed stitches. So that brings us here. At county, the hospital I forced a doctor to keep his engagement four years ago.
"Yeah, its fine. Ech, I hate getting stitches! They hurt like a bitch!"
We got out of my car and walked over to the emergency room entrance. I couldn't help but feel a little fuzzy. Four years seems like such a long time. At the same time though it seems like yesterday. I had walked into this waiting room with a nasty rash on my chest, in the ambulance bay nearly lost my life, and in that trauma room, told a doctor that he couldn't change postpone something he'd waited so long to do, just because of me. I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. I didn't know why I was nervous, I hope I'll see Abby and Carter. I hope they recognize me too. I took a seat in the waiting room, not recognizing anyone.
"Sienna, that guy is staring at you" Bailey said quietly hiding behind a magazine.
"What guy?" I looked around and saw no one I could recognize, it was dead, there was 5 other people waiting for help. I helped Bailey fill out a form and then continued to gaze around.
"He's doing it again! Now actually look, he's right there." I looked up and saw a familiar face. He began to walk towards me.
"Bailey! That's Dr. Carter!" I whispered right as he arrived in the area. He hadn't changed much at all. His hair was beginning to gray though and he had some frown lines. But still nothing noticeable. I smiled shyly.
"Hello, is everything okay over here?" He asked looking me in the eyes.
"Yeah, uhh, she cut her hand and need's stitches"
"I can speak for myself Sie, I was picking up a broken plate and sliced up my hand but I'll be just fine. Sienna on the other hand is about to die from anxiety because she supposedly made some scene here a few years back." Typical Bailey. She will embarrass me at any chance. Some friend. I'm kind of relived she did though.
"Heh, Yeeaah, you probably don't remember me though" I giggled nervously.
"Now, how could I forget the girl who practically made me propose to my girlfriend?" He said jokingly. He obviously didn't forget.
"It worked well though? Didn't it, How are you and Abby doing?" "We're both great, Abby should be down here any second, we both just got off our shifts, she's bringing down someone I'd love for you to meet" He said with a smile. "I'll be back in a second"
A doctor came over to the area after Carter walked away. He walked over to Bailey.
"Hello I'm Dr. Kovac, how's your hand?" Baileys let out a tiny gasp. She looked up at him with excitement in her eyes.
"I sliced it open with a broken glass. I'm pretty sure I need stitches"
"I can help you with that, what's you're name?"
"Rebali Cosiva. sound familiar?" She asked flat out. Bailey never uses her full name. You see she moved here from Croatia with her family when she was a little girl. She had trouble dealing with it as a kid so she gave herself her Irish sounding nickname Bailey. Dr. Kovac smiled at her.
"Yes, Ms. Cosiva, it certainly does. Lets go get that hand sutured" She looked at me and mouthed out 'I'll tell you later' as she walked off with the Doctor.
a/n: that's where my sequel "Friendship" begins
I waited for about 10 more minutes, wondering whom Carter wanted to show me. I had a feeling it was a child. Which meant their wedding was successful. I'd feel pretty crappy if it were otherwise. I looked up from the magazine I was reading to see Abby and Carter walking towards me with a little girl in Carter's arms.
"Oh my god, she's adorable! She's yours right?"
"Yes, she is. She turns three next week" Abby said.
"Wow, happy birthday. What's her name?"
Abby looked at her daughter and patted her back. "Tell her your name, sweetie"
"I'm Sienna Leigh Carter! What you name?" She asked loudly with a big smile
I looked up at her parents with complete shock on my face.
"My name's Sienna too. Wow, I feel, um, really uh, special" I laughed
"When Abby was pregnant with her, we spent months thinking of a name, we couldn't seem to think of a pretty name with good connotation. Then Abby though of you"
"Yeah I said 'that nice little girl that kept you from chickening out'"
"Hey it wasn't like I wasn't going to do it. I was!" Carter chuckled.
"I know Hun, yeah we both agreed that Sienna would make a perfect name. I'm glad she got to meet you, she should know the special person that inspired her name"
"Well now she does. I can't believe that someone would name their child after me. It's so great. I'm flattered"
Sienna yawned and rested her head on her dad's shoulder. It was a little past 9:00pm, she must have been tired.
"Well, I guess we should be getting her home now, I hope to see you again Sienna, come by to visit anytime!" Carter said propping up Sienna a little.
"Yeah, Don't be a stranger, see you later Sienna" Abby smiled and tapped her daughter on the shoulder "Say bye Sienna"
"Bye Sienna!" The little girl smiled. I smiled back.
"Bye Sienna! Bye Dr. Carter and Abby!"
The family walked away the little girl waving at me until they went around a corner. I sat there for a few minutes processing all that had just happened. Bailey returned to the room with a new bandage on her hand.
"Bailey! You'll never guess what just happened." I giggled
"Yeah, and you'll never guess whom I just saw" I got up and we walked out both anxious to share our stories.

Well that's all! For this story that is. I have a sort of sequel coming out soon. It's a Lusan (haha, I must be bored) but doesn't have much to do with this story other then a brief appearance by Bailey. I don't know if it qualifies as a sequel but I'm calling it that. I hope you all read it! Thanks for being so great with the reviews for this story. I had so much fun writing it!
