Steve and Eileen Stevens barged inside the double doors of the emergency room, followed closely by Donnie. As soon as they heard what happened, they immediately left for the hospital. They immediately headed towards the information desk.
"My children, where are they?" Eileen frenetically asked. Steve tried to hold back his wife.
"Stevens, Ren and Louis Stevens. Someone called and said that they were involved in a car accident." He said to the nurse.
"Trauma rooms 1 and 2, end of the hallway, to the left," she answered, motioning towards the room.
With a couple of great strides, they reached the room. "Mom, Dad!" Louis called out to them. He was inside the first room.
"Louis!" Eileen exclaimed, hugging his son. "Are you alright?" she asked worriedly. "What happened? Where's Ren?"
At mention of her name, tears immediately formed on Louis's eyes. Soon, his whole body was racked with sobs.
"Eileen…" Steve whispered to her wife. She glanced at her husband. Both he and Donnie were gazing towards the next room. In there, Ren's body laid in the gurney, with a couple of machines attached to it. Her knees began to buckle, but Donnie caught her in time.
Inside, doctors and nurses were trying frantically to revive her. Alarms were going off everywhere.
"Get in another bag of O-neg stat!"
"Her pulse/ox is low."
"She's still losing blood."
"That's it, get that rapid infuser in."
"BP is dropping."
"She's getting into v-tach!"
"Squeeze in 0.5 mg of lidocaine."
"Still no response."
"She's in v-fib!"
"Bag her and start compressions. Don't let her get in asystole!"
"Get in 50cc of epi, and charge those paddles!"
"Alright, clear!!"
Louis winced as he saw Ren's body jumped a few good inches from the bed. Eileen hugged her youngest child tighter.
"Charge it to 250! Clear!"
"I'm sorry, mom and dad, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault." He shook his head. "If-if I had just done what she asked, this never would have happened."
"Charge it to 300! Clear!"
"Don't worry son, Ren will make it." Steve tried to comfort him. "Yeah, she's strong, she'll make it." He repeated softy.
Just then, a machine blurted out a different sound. What the doctors said next felt like music to their ears:
"We got a pulse."

I wrote this one because I had the uncontrollable urge to insert an ER scene into the story. I guess I just really missed that adrenaline rush I get when I write those ER fanfics, though I'm still suffering from writer's block on my last one. ^_^ Anyway, I'm dragging this hospital scene for another chapter, so I hope you'll bear with me. Please, read and review! Thanks! ^_^
