Disclaimer: Unfortunately, none of these characters belong to me, except for Elle and Harrison Stokes.
I know some of you have had problems with some parts of my story, but hey, its fan fiction. Key word there is - fiction. I don't think these things really matter to the story. If it does, I'm sorry but you're just going to have to deal with it. ...........….............................................................. ...........….
"Sar.. Sar.. Come on, wake up." Nick screamed into his phone as he followed the ambulance. He couldn't go with Harrison because Elle couldn't, and Nick couldn't just leave Elle at the park. He felt completely guilty for leaving him alone in the ambulance, but he figured that was the last thing he should be worried about.
"Hello?" Sara answered. Nick could hear a crying baby in the background, but couldn't figure out who it was.
"Sara? Sara, something happened." Nick practically screamed into the cell phone reciever. Sara could hear Elle singing along to a Barney song, but she could also tell by the way Nick was talking that something was seriously wrong.
"What's wrong, Nick?" Sara asked, placing a crying Olivia down in her crib.
"Its Harrison."
"Oh my God" Sara whispered, more to herself than to Nick.
"Sara, he was hit by a car." Nick said, frantically. He could hear her start to cry on the other end. Elle seemed to not even be fazed by the accident she had just witnessed.
"Oh my God.. Nick.. Is he OK?" Sara asked, picking up her own cell phone and began to dial Catherine's phone number.
"I don't know Sara. He was hit.. and I couldn't help him. Sara.. Sara.. I'm so sorry." Nick said, beginning to cry himself. "I'm following the ambulance right now. They're taking us to Oak Hill Hospital. Can you meet us there?"
"I'm on my way right now, I need to get someone to come here to be with the babies. I'm calling Catherine. Hello Cath?" Nick could hear her begin a conversation with Catherine, which he figured was on her cell phone. He hung up as they pulled into the Emergency Room entrance of the hospital.
As Nick got out of the car, and helped Elle out, Harrison was being taken out of the ambulance. He was awake.
"Harrison? Harrison, buddy, how are you feeling?" Nick asked, grabbing Harrison's hand.
"I don't feel too good, Daddy. My belly hurts." Harrison said, rubbing his stomach with his other hand.
"I know, bud. I know. The doctors are going to take really good care of you, I promise." Nick said, picking Elle up as she fell behind, running as fast as she could but not fast enough.
"Hey Harrison, look, I found a toy in the backseat of Daddy's car." Elle said, looking down on her twin brother as he laid on the gurney.
"Oh cool, I've been looking for that for so long." he said as Elle reached down and placed it in his hand. "Where's Mommy?" Harrison asked, looking around but only seeing doctors.
"She's on her way. She'll be here soon." said Nick.
"Mr. Stokes, I'm sorry but you can't come in here. You should go wait in the waiting room, we'll get you as soon as we conclude." the doctor said, leaving Nick holding Elle in the doorway to the trauma room.
"Come on Elle, lets go wait for Mommy." he said, putting her down on the floor and grabbing her hand. As they walked into the waiting room, they found Sara talking to a receptionist.
"Mrs. Stokes, please calm down." Nick could hear the receptionist say.
"Mommy!" Elle called out as soon as she saw Sara, and ran towards her.
"Hey baby, where's Daddy?" Sara said, and looked up when she saw Sara point towards him.
"Nick, how is he?" she said, meeting up with Nick.
"I don't know, they brought him into the trauma room over there. The doctor told us to hang around in the waiting room, and when they finish, they'll come and get us." Nick said, leading the way for is wife and daughter to the waiting room.
"Daddy, I'm hungry." Elle said, as she made herself comfortable on Nick's lap.
"Oh Nick, she hasn't eaten since breakfast. Can you go get her something out of the vending machine? Like crackers or something?" Sara said, helping Elle off of Nick's lap and onto her's.
"Elle, are you OK? What happened?" Sara asked, running her fingers through her daughter's blonde curls.
"I'm fine, Mommy. But the car hit Harrison. Daddy tried to help him, but Harrison just cried. Then he went to sleep." Elle said, playing with her mother's wedding ring which she was known to do very much.
"He went to sleep? Did he wake up?" Sara said, becoming much more concerned with her son's condition.
"Yeah, I gave him a toy that I found in the back seat of Daddy's car." Elle said, putting the ring on her finger and then placing it back on her mothers. Sara breathed a sigh of relief, as Nick returned with a bag of mini chocolate chip cookies, and a bag of peanut butter crackers.
"What were my two ladies talking about?" Nick asked, handing the back of peanut butter crackers to Elle.
"Oh, Elle was telling me about how Harrison got hurt and --"
"Sara, I'm so sorry. I should have been paying more attention, but it was too late and he was already in the street --" Nick began, not realizing what Elle had exactly told him.
"What? How could you not be paying attention to him, Nick? The whole reason that you went to the elementary school was to pick them up, and then what? You just forgot about them?" Sara yelled, making the other people in the waiting room stare at her, as Warrick walked in with Greg right behind him.
"Hey guys, are we interrupting anything?" Warrick asked, as Elle ran up to him.
"Hey Warrick, want a peanut butter cracker? Daddy just bought them for me." Elle asked, as Warrick picked her up.
"No thanks, sweetie." Warrick said, walking towards where Nick was sitting and Sara was standing, apparently yelling at him.
"How's Harrison?" Greg said, walking into the waiting room.
"We don't know, Greg. He's in the trauma room now. They don't know anything yet." Nick said.
"Mr. and Mrs. Stokes?" the doctor asked, coming out of the trauma room with a chart in his hand.
"Hi, I'm Mrs. Stokes. This is my husband. How's Harrison?" Sara said, running up to the doctor with Nick behind her.
"Hi, I'm Doctor Minter. Harrison's fine, he's sleeping right now, though. The only real medical problem we had was four broken ribs, but other than that, its just bruises and scrapes. He got very lucky, Mrs. Stokes."
"When can we see him?" Nick asked.
"You can see him once the nurse's have cleaned him up. He lost a lot of blood, but we were able to give him transfusions." Dr. Minter said, rechecking his information in the chart.
"Thank you, Doctor." The doctor nodded, and walked back to the reception desk.
