Chapter 8 is now up, enjoy. Title for this one is "Second Chances"
Sid was pushed to the side as the doctor and two nurses entered. She started to cry holding Milo in her arms rocking the startled baby back and forth. "Please save him." Sid screamed to the doctor. A nurse came to her side and guided her out of the room.
Tj and Spinelli meet her outside the room and guided her to the waiting room. Ashley brought Mikey and Danon over to the others. Ashley held Milo while Sid was being comforted by the others.
"So I guess we came at a bad time." Mikey told Ashley.
"A very bad time." She said playing with a now happy Milo. She looked at the baby with a small smile on her face. She was full of sadness that this baby wouldn't know his father, he didn't even know what was happening.

"Try again!" The doctor screamed over the heart monitor. The nurse shocked Vince's lifeless body again. He jolted into the air then back down onto the bed with no sign of change.
"Nothing." The nurse conformed.
The doctor looked towards the nurse. "Again Meredith."
She tried again with no results. The second nurse came to both of them. "We did all that we could." She reassured them.
"No!" The doctor said. "I cant lose another one."
"Sir, we have done all we could." The second nurse told him.
He came to tears and a realization that he wouldn't be able to save Vince. " We have to try." He said.
Meredith, as he called the nurse before, grabbed his arm gently. "This isn't your fault doctor." She said, "If you would like I will tell the family."
"Please." He said stumbling into a chair that was faced against the wall. "Time of death?" He asked the second nurse. As Meredith walked out of the room with sorrow.

"So you and Mikey meet in Los Angeles?" Sid asked Danon. He sat on her right trying to comfort her as Spinelli, Tj, Mikey, and Ashley went to talk with the nurse who had came out of Vince's room.
"Yeah." Danon said shaking his head. "When I meet him it was like wow, you know." He said leaning back on his seat.
Sid shook her head. She had stopped crying but still had the marks of pain running down her cheeks. "I know what you mean. When I met Vince in 9th grade I had fallen in love with him."
"And know?" Danon asked leaning towards her to listen in.
"I don't know." Sid said facing Danon. "I mean I was mad when he told me he slept with Ashley."
"You had the right to be Sid, but from what I hear Vince is a good guy."
"That is part of the reason why I couldn't believe he did what he did." Sid told Danon. "I couldn't believe Vince would just let himself go with Ashley for that night."
Danon hugged her as she revisited those moments. "Sid you have to be give him a break, everyone screws up once in awhile. Nobody is perfect."
"I know that."
"If you do then why are you letting your emotions get the best of you? I barely met you but I can tell you would never let that happen to you."
"I hardly ever do." She whispered to him in almost a faint breath.
Danon let her go and turned his head to the others, they still were talking. "If you know he isn't perfect then why hurt yourself by thinking he is?" Danon asked Sid as the others came over.
Mikey sat down next to Danon and shook his head no then leaned on him for support. Spinelli and Tj hugged each other and went to one of the waiting room window's trying to keep each other into the reality even though they both wanted to pulled themselves to a world of non-existence.
Ashley carried Milo to Sid and sat right next to her. "I am so, so sorry Sid." Ashley said shedding a couple of tears from her eye's. Sid took in the words and stood stiff letting them sink in. The conversation between her and Danon struck a string but now that Vince was no more Sid didn't know what to feel. She let him go without saying sorry, without saying goodbye.

The doctor looked up at Vince and shed another tear. He wasn't just crying for the woman who lost this man, but the woman he lost. He couldn't get it out of his mind that this was the same way he lost his girlfriend the night he was going to propose. He crumpled down it the chair when the memories came and flown through his head, he cried.
Meredith came into the room and saw the tears in his eye's. She could hear the long beep of the heart monitor and walked towards it. When she was going to unplug it the beeping noise slowed to a short rhythm.
The doctor looked up as he heard the same thing Meredith heard. They both looked at each other then at Vince as his heartbeats started up once again.
"Oh my god." Meredith said starting to cry. "It's a miracle! It's a bloody miracle." The doctor came to her side as the saw Vince in a deep sleep. "Do you want to tell the family this time?" She asked the doctor.
He nodded his head and looked up towards the ceiling giving a long waited breath and started to smile.

Ashley looked at everyone else. "I am going to Gretchen's room." She said with a low depressing tone. She wiped a tear from her eye. "Mikey, Danon stay here with Sid please." The shook their heads and she handed Milo to them. Danon took the baby as Mikey held Sid close in his arms.
*****
The doctor exited the room bumping into Ashley on his way out. "I am so sorry," Ashley started. "I guess I should stay out of these hospitals since I keep bumping into so many people." She said rambling on. She looked at him and her eye's opened wide. "You are…"

Who is the doctor? So I didn't kill anyone yet. Now that Vince is back up what will happen? Sure he cant stay alive for very long right? Chapter nine is going to be called "No one lives forever" will David come back for Spinelli?
