Andy was getting her stuff ready to leave the hospital in the middle of the day to pick up Lizzy from her half-day at school. (A/N: Lizzie is actually spelled Lizzy so change that in my background. Sorry guys.) They were going to go shopping together. Her briefcase was almost packed when Dr. Jackson walked into her office. "Where are you going?" "I have to pick Lizzy." She wasn't looking at him. "You coming back?" "I don't know. If I have time, I guess." She still wasn't looking at him. "Today's a very busy day Dr. Campbell, we need you here." "Well, I'm sorry but Lizzy needs me to." She finally stopped packing and looked at him. "I promised her the rest of the day. And I never get to spend time with my kids anymore." "I understand that, but-" "There are no buts, I'm leaving Dr. Jackson." She shut and locked her briefcase and picked it up and walked out of the office. He followed her. "You'll just have to manage without me." "Dr. Campbell, If you walk out of here now-" She whipped around and interrupted him. "What? You'll fire me?" Lu and Lana caught her words and looked up at the two. Dr. Jackson didn't say a word. He just stared at Andy, his eyes saying 'no'. She laughed at him. "I didn't think so." She turned back around and walked out of the clinic. Lu and Lana were wide-eyed, just staring at Dr. Jackson, trying to keep their selves from laughing at him. "Get back to work!" He snapped in their direction and stormed into his office.
Andy was waiting inside the schools office for them to call Lizzy down. She glanced at her engagement ring and smiled to herself. "Dr. Campbell, she should be on her way." The secretary told her. Andy nodded and walked outside the office to wait for her daughter. Lizzy walked up while Andy was twisting her rind and still smiling. "Mom?" "Oh, Hi sweetie." She took her hand. "Ready to go shopping?!" Lizzy nodded with excitement.
"Buckle up Lizzy." She did what her mother told her and Andy stepped on the gas. They were on a busy road with a bunch of other cars driving towards the mall. When everything turned into chaos. The gas signal went off first in the car. Andy glanced down at the throttle and it was on empty. This told her that she had twenty-five miles left before she ran out of gas. She turned the steering wheel to switch lanes so she could head towards the nearest Texaco. Lizzy turned the radio on and was lying with it until she found something she liked. Andy swirved the car unexpectedly and it jerked Liz's hand making her turn the volume up to max. Andy grabbed the knob and turned it down quickly. "Sorry." Lizzy shrugged. "It's ok." Next, her car phone rang and she picked it up. "Hello?" "Hi, is this Emily?" "Umm.no sorry, you must have the wrong number, this is Dr. Campbell." "Oh, sorry." The stranger hung up the phone. "Yeah, right." She clicked the phone back to it's original spot as well. A few seconds later it rang again and it made both of them jump. "Hello?" "Hey baby." "Oh, hi." Lizzy looked at her mom all starry-eyed. "What are you doing?" Milo asked from the other side of the phone. "Umm..that would be driving." "Duh! I meant where are you going?" "Well, why didn't you say that in the first place?" She teased him innocently. "I don't know sugar, you tell me." He teased her back. "I'm going shopping with Lizzy." "Oh, sounds fun." Lizzy interrupted their conversation. "Mom, is that Milo?" Andy nodded 'yes'. "Can I talk to him?" She begged. "One second honey." "Hm..were you talking to me?" Milo asked but answering to 'honey'. "No." "Oh." "Please mom." Lizzy interrupted again. "Ok, ok." Andy handed her the phone and went back to driving not really paying attention to their conversation. A few seconds later, something buzzed on her hipbone. She grabbed her pager and looked at the number. It buzzed over and over again. Whoever it was, was trying to get in touch with her fast. Lizzy was chatting up a storm with Milo, telling him everything that had happened at school that day. Andy's cell phone rang inside her purse. She bent down to grab it and swirved the car again. "Hello?" She said quickly while sitting back up straight. "Dr. Campbell, there is a patient here requesting that you come to the clinic right away to help her out." Lana's voice rang. "Who?" "Umm." She looked at the folder. "Kelly Smith." "Oh. What's wrong with her?" "High fever, worried mother. That kind of thing." All right, well, I'm really busy right now. Ask Lu if she can handle it or somebody because I really can't make it there right now." "Ok, I'll try. I'll call you back." "Wait. Were you just paging me?" "No." "Ok, bye." She hung up the phone and Lizzy started talking. "Mom, Milo wants to talk to you again." She dropped her pager and cell phone on her lap and grabbed the car phone from Lizzy's hand. "Hi honey." "You talking to me this time?" He responded, teasing once again. She laughed at his actions. "Yeah." "I was wondering if you wanted to get together tonight and go over some of the wedding plans? Maybe do some other things." She smiled at his playfulness. "Sure, I guess." The gas signal went off again telling her that she had ten miles left of gas. "Shit." She muttered underneath her breath so Lizzy couldn't hear her but Milo could. "What's wrong?" "I'm almost out of gas." Her pager buzzed again on her thigh, tickling her. She laughed. "What's so funny?" She laughed again. "Sorry, my pager was tickling my thigh." "Wow, I'm a little jealous. I want to tickle your thigh." He begged. "You will tonight." Lizzy had no idea what they were talking about so she decided to tune them out and listen to the radio again. Her pager went off again. "Ok, sweetheart, I have to go. Someone is paging me and obviously they need me really bad." "Just like me, huh?" He always made her laugh. "Yeah, yeah. Listen, I will see you tonight and I love you all right?" "I love you to Andy. Bye." They hung up the phone and she grabbed her pager again. She was doing everything with one hand while the other was on the steering wheel. "I don't know who this is." She said to herself. Lizzy noticed that she wasn't on the phone anymore and that she was talking to herself. "Who?" "If I knew, I would tell you." She said annoyed by everything at the moment. "Ok, Lizzy, go back there in my briefcase and hand me my black address book." "Ok." She unbuckled her seatbelt and climbed into the backseat. "Here." She handed her the book and Andy started flipping through it with one hand while the other steered and held her pager. Lizzy was halfway back into the front seat. "Wait Lizzy. Stay back there. I need you to find a file for me. The name is Kelly Smith, I think it's in my briefcase, if not then try the box on the floor behind me. Lizzy did what she was asked. After awhile Andy finally found the number and realized that it was her dad in Florida. She thought to herself, 'How could I be so stupid. I didn't recognize the number.' She picked up her cell phone and dialed her father back. He answered. "Hello?" "Dad, hi. It's Andy. Were you just paging me like crazy?" "Yeah that was me." He chuckled. "Is something wrong, because you paged me like you need something quickly."
"Nothings wrong. I just wanted to ask you if-" The connection was lost. "Stupid phone." She hung up and threw the phone back on her lap as her car phone rang. "Oh my gosh." She picked it up. "Hello?" "Hey, It' Hawkins again. Smith is still requesting you. She won't let anybody else help her. Or should I say that her mother won't." "Ugh! I really cannot handle this right now. I have so many errands to run and so many plans to make. Tell her I will be there when I get there. And if she's so impatient then she can have another doctor look at her!" She was yelling into the phone now and distracted Lizzy from her searching through the box and made her drop them all over the backseat. She grunted as Andy hung up the phone. "What's wrong?" "Nothing." She responded by lying. Andy handed her the black address book and concentrated on the road but not for long. "Mom, I can't find it." Lizzy wined from the behind her. "Look harder, I know it's in there." Lizzy grunted again and Andy sighed. Her car phone rang. "Hello?" "Hi, it's me again. Connection was lost I guess." "Yeah, I noticed. So what did you want dad? I'm kind of busy right now." "Just to ask you something about your mother but I guess it can wait considering you're busy and all." He said that like he was offended. "Look, I'm sorry but I really am and I really do not have time to talk Dad." "All right, all right. I'll call you when I get home." Her gas signal went off again saying she hand five miles left but she wasn't worried because the gas station was around the corner, just one more turn. Lizzy was still searching through the box. She went to make the turn. "Ok dad. I'll talk to you- AHHHHH!!!!" She hadn't turned the steering wheel enough and before she knew it she dropped the phone on the floor and her back slammed against the seat. Lizzy flew into the front dashboard and then the airbags pushed her now limp body against the front passenger seat. She was knocked unconscious by the impact. The airbags also hit Andy in the face but didn't completely knock her out. The car spun on the road and Andy grabbed Lizzy's hand and then blacked out with the front left tire under legs and her knee jammed in between the wheel and door. Andy had been right in front of the gas station and the clerk had seen the head on collision from behind the counter and called 911, then rushed to the site of the two cars smashed in the front.
The ambulance pulled into the ER with Andy, Lizzy, and the other driver on stretchers and with oxygen masks. The other driver hadn't been knocked out and Andy had woken back up. Lizzy was still out though. Nick waited for them to bring the patients out, wondering who it was this time and wondering what was wrong. When he saw Andy's face he gasped. "Oh, no." He turned to the paramedic. "What happened?" "Head on collision. The cars are totaled and so is the little girl. She doesn't look to good Dr." Nick turned his head towards the little girl and realized it was Lizzy. "Oh, no." He repeated himself. They rushed into the ER and the intercom rang out, "Dr. Morton and Dr. Delgado needed in the ER. Dr. Morton and Dr. Delgado needed in the ER." Lu and Milo rushed to the ER and bumped into each other on the way. "Wonder what it is this time." Milo mentioned as they entered the room. A nurse called his name and he ran to the patient, which was the other driver, and didn't even realize that Andy and Lizzy were there, hurting, too. "On my count...1, 2, and." They switched the person to the real hospital bed while the paramedics took the stretcher away. Lu rushed to where Nick was pointed and realized it was Lizzy and that he was taking care of Andy. "Oh god, no."
Andy turned out to have a broken wrist and a few cuts and bruises from the tire being shoved into her legs. She was lucky nothing worse had happened to her. Milo had just finished with the other driver, which by the way only had a broken foot and a bit of a headache, when he turned around and saw Andy sitting on the bed while Nick was bandaging her cuts and she was fiddling with her cast, waiting impatiently. He ran to her and asked what was going on. "Milo!" She was hysterical. "Where's Lizzy?" "I don't know. Andy, what happened to you?" "There was a car accident. Lizzy didn't have her seatbelt on, where is she?!" She started to cry. "All right, all done." Nick said while standing up next to Milo. Andy jumped up but grunted in pain when she did. Her legs were a little soar. "Nick, where's Lizzy?" She looked around the ER and couldn't find her. They both looked at him. Sympathy filled his eyes. "Lu had to take her to a private room Dr. Campbell. It's....well." "TELL ME DAMNIT!" She yelled at him while still crying. "It's a comma. Lizzy's in a comma." Her body went weak and she fell into Milo's arms. He supported her and then led her to the room Nick had told him Lizzy was in. She ran to her daughter's hospital bed. "LIZZY! Wake up Lizzy. Wake up." She slid down the wall crying. Milo sat next to her and held her more. Lu was standing near the heartbeat monitor. Andy cried for awhile and then sat in the chair and stared at her daughter lying helplessly on the hospital bed. After a long pause she finally spoke in a hysterical but scary way. "It's all my fault." Milo looked at her. "Don't say that." "It's the truth." "No it's not." She looked at him. He was so handsome and loving, it made her cry again. "Yes, it is Milo. I was driving and talking on the phone and not paying attention to what the hell I was doing. I was the one who had asked her to unbuckle her seatbelt and look for a bunch of papers because they needed me here and I wanted to be prepared for everybody and I did this to her. I DID THIS TO HER." She held her hand out and pointed to Lizzy. "No. Andy, don't blame yourself." She didn't look at him so he forced her with his hands. "It's not your fault. It was an accident." She didn't respond, but just walked out of the room and outside to sit under a shade tree. After about thirty minutes of thinking out there, Lana walked up and sat down next to her. "You ok?" "No." They didn't talk much after that. It was too awkward. Milo walked out later and replaced Lana's spot because she had to go back to the desk. She rested her head on his chest. "Milo, do me a favor?" She turned to look at him. "Anything." "Call my parents and tell them. I'll call Les." "Ok." They walked back inside together after that. She sat at her desk and dialed her ex-husbands number. A women answered. "Hello?" "Hi, Is Les Campbell there?" "Umm.yes, may I ask who's calling?" "It's his ex-wife, Andy Campbell." The strange women handed him the phone and told him who it was. "Andy?!" He was shocked to here her calling him first. "Yeah, it's me." He tone was sad and dull. "Is there something wrong?" "Yes. Les, there was a car accident." "Are you ok?" "I just have a broken wrist." "So what's the matter?" "It's Lizzy." She tried not to cry again. "She didn't have a seatbelt on because she was in the backseat looking for something for me and now she's in a comma." "Oh my god. Lizzy?" He called her name like she could here him. "I'll be there on the next plane, Andy." "Ok. Bye." She hung up the phone and Milo walked in. "Did you call him?" She nodded. "And?" "He'll be here tonight." "Good. He's needs to be here." She stood up and gave him another hug. "Thank you for being here with me. I love you so much." "I love you to." He kissed the top of her forehead. They headed for Lizzy's room again. "Did you call my parents?" "Yes, they'll be here tonight to. Probably around 6 or so." "Thank you." She stopped and pecked him on the lips and then held his hand. They were sitting in the room, seeing if anything would happen. Lizzy was still in the comma and it had been about forty-five minutes since Andy had called Les. She looked at her watch and then turned to Milo. "Do me another favor?" She asked polity. "Yes?" "Jessie gets out of school in about 30 minutes, will you go pick her up from the school and bring her here?" "Of course." He kissed her goodbye and vanished out of the clinic leaving Andy there alone with Lizzy. She stood next to her. "I'm so sorry sweetie." She ran her fingers threw her hair. "I'm so sorry." A tear rolled down her cheek as Lu walked in the room to check up on things. "She's not awake yet." "Doesn't look like it." Lu responded to Andy's observation. They sat down next to the bed and chatted about things that didn't matter as much in life. Then Andy gasped after a long pause. "What is it?" Lu got worried. "I just realized something. Milo is going to meet my parents for the first time because they are coming for Lizzy." "The first time? You've been dating for over a year and they are just now meeting him?" "Well, they have been in Florida and we've been here. What do you expect? Them to rush up here as soon as I tell them I found myself a new boyfriend."
"He's more then a boyfriend and you know it Andy." She smiled at her and looked at her ring again. She wondering how everything could be going so wonderful and then just fall apart in another department of her life. "Don't worry about it. They will be so concentrated on you and Lizzy and Jessie that they won't have a bunch of questions and third degrees for Milo." "Let's hope so." They laughed together but stopped because it was inappropriate for the situation. Milo walked in with Jessie a few minutes later. "Mom!" Jessie ran to Andy and embraced her in a hug and didn't let go. "It's ok sweetie." Jessie was crying also but Andy just couldn't anymore. She had to be strong for her children. And then she had to handle her parents and Les being there and Milo meeting everybody for the first time later but she wasn't about to show that she was worried to death and that she didn't know if everything was going to be ok.

Me: Wow! Drama, drama, drama! Review my fans. And find out how well Andy's parents like Milo and if Lizzy will ever wake up in the next chapter. Sucks to be you! Because I already know what's gonna happen! Hahaha! Byebye!

Andy was getting her stuff ready to leave the hospital in the middle of the day to pick up Lizzy from her half-day at school. (A/N: Lizzie is actually spelled Lizzy so change that in my background. Sorry guys.) They were going to go shopping together. Her briefcase was almost packed when Dr. Jackson walked into her office. "Where are you going?" "I have to pick Lizzy." She wasn't looking at him. "You coming back?" "I don't know. If I have time, I guess." She still wasn't looking at him. "Today's a very busy day Dr. Campbell, we need you here." "Well, I'm sorry but Lizzy needs me to." She finally stopped packing and looked at him. "I promised her the rest of the day. And I never get to spend time with my kids anymore." "I understand that, but-" "There are no buts, I'm leaving Dr. Jackson." She shut and locked her briefcase and picked it up and walked out of the office. He followed her. "You'll just have to manage without me." "Dr. Campbell, If you walk out of here now-" She whipped around and interrupted him. "What? You'll fire me?" Lu and Lana caught her words and looked up at the two. Dr. Jackson didn't say a word. He just stared at Andy, his eyes saying 'no'. She laughed at him. "I didn't think so." She turned back around and walked out of the clinic. Lu and Lana were wide-eyed, just staring at Dr. Jackson, trying to keep their selves from laughing at him. "Get back to work!" He snapped in their direction and stormed into his office.

Andy nodded and walked outside the office to wait for her daughter. Lizzy walked up while Andy was twisting her rind and still smiling. "Mom?" "Oh, Hi sweetie." She took her hand.

"She didn't have a seatbelt on because she was in the backseat looking for something for me and now she's in a comma." "Oh my god. Lizzy?" He called her name like she could here him. "I'll be there on the next plane, Andy." "Ok. Bye." She hung up the phone and Milo walked in. "Did you call him?" She nodded. "And?" "He'll be here tonight." "Good. He's needs to be here." She stood up and gave him another hug. "Thank you for being here with me. I love you so much." "I love you to." He kissed the top of her forehead. They headed for Lizzy's room again. "Did you call my parents?" "Yes, they'll be here tonight to. Probably around 6 or so." "Thank you." She stopped and pecked him on the lips and then held his hand. They were sitting in the room, seeing if anything would happen. Lizzy was still in the comma and it had been about forty-five minutes since Andy had called Les. She looked at her watch and then turned to Milo. "Do me another favor?" She asked polity. "Yes?" "Jessie gets out of school in about 30 minutes, will you go pick her up from the school and bring her here?" "Of course." He kissed her goodbye and vanished out of the clinic leaving Andy there alone with Lizzy. She stood next to her. "I'm so sorry sweetie." She ran her fingers threw her hair. "I'm so sorry." A tear rolled down her cheek as Lu walked in the room to check up on things. "She's not awake yet." "Doesn't look like it." Lu responded to Andy's observation. They sat down next to the bed and chatted about things that didn't matter as much in life. Then Andy gasped after a long pause. "What is it?" Lu got worried. "I just realized something. Milo is going to meet my parents for the first time because they are coming for Lizzy." "The first time? You've been dating for over a year and they are just now meeting him?" "Well, they have been in Florida and we've been here. What do you expect? Them to rush up here as soon as I tell them I found myself a new boyfriend."
"He's more then a boyfriend and you know it Andy." She smiled at her and looked at her ring again. She wondering how everything could be going so wonderful and then just fall apart in another department of her life. "Don't worry about it. They will be so concentrated on you and Lizzy and Jessie that they won't have a bunch of questions and third degrees for Milo." "Let's hope so." They laughed together but stopped because it was inappropriate for the situation. Milo walked in with Jessie a few minutes later. "Mom!" Jessie ran to Andy and embraced her in a hug and didn't let go. "It's ok sweetie." Jessie was crying also but Andy just couldn't anymore. She had to be strong for her children. And then she had to handle her parents and Les being there and Milo meeting everybody for the first time later but she wasn't about to show that she was worried to death and that she didn't know if everything was going to be ok.
