"Susan? Carter?" They both said at once.
We each grabbed a side of the gurney and helped push her into a trauma room. After a quick check, Susan confirmed that she was in active labor.
"I want to have the baby upstairs, not down here!"
"Carol, you can have the baby down here or on the way up to OB the choice is yours," Susan said calmly.
"It's okay Carol, we'll be okay," Doug soothed.
To me, they looked pretty calm considering they had two daughters in the hospital. Witch I knew they wouldn't be, so I knew they didn't know yet.
Abby took her place by Susan ready to take the baby when he/she came out. So before Carol yelled at me to get out again, I decided to go see the girls.
"Carter, where are you going?"
"To go check on the girls, I'll explain later."
"As soon as I stepped out of the trauma room, I was bombarded by nurses.
"How is she?"
"Is she having the baby?"
"Does she know the girls are here?"
I laughed, "Fine, yes, and I'm getting them right now, if you'll excuse me."
I stayed and played with the girls, until Abby and Doug came in.
"Daddy!" the girls cried.
He kissed them both on the head, and sat down next to them.
Abby pulled me by the arm outside. As soon as we were out of sight from Doug and the girls, I pulled her into a long kiss.
"So is it a boy or a girl?"
"A six pound three ounce baby boy."
I was just about to kiss her again, when Doug poked his head out the door.
"Hey Carter, is Mark on today? I haven't seen him."
Abby and I looked at each other, as I gripped my hand tighter around my stethoscope. How was I going to tell Doug that his best friend was dead?
