"The Diary of Dana Stowe" By: Dr.StoweWannabe27

Chapter Seven-The Diary-1

Nick suddenly remembered the diary in his jacket. He pulled it out and handed it to Lu. "What's this?" "It's Dana's diary. The investigator found and looked through it, wrote down what he needed, and gave it to me. I thought you might want to see it."

Lu took the diary and looked at it. In her head she could imagine Dana sitting on her bed, writing what happened during the day. She opened it to the first page and saw that it was marked "The Diary of Dana Stowe". She turned the page and saw the first date, July 15, 1999. She flipped through the diary to the last page and saw that the last entry was yesterday. "Nick, did you know Dana kept a diary?" Lu asked in amazement. Out of all the years she knew Dana she never saw that she kept a diary. "No, she never mentioned it." She found that fact odd.

She sat there and stared at the cover. What had her friend thought all these years? About her, Marc, Nick, Louise, or even Annie? "Nick, would you mind if I read some of it?" "No, I don't mind. In fact, I am going to go check on the autopsy." Nick got up and headed toward the elevator leaving the diary to Lu. "Poor guy." Said the lady that had just sat down when Nick got up. Lu ignored her and started going through the diary looking for a specific date, April 13, 2001, when Lu joined the clinic. "Here it is."

April 13, 2001

Dear Diary,

I just got a new intern working in ER. His name is Nicholas Biancavilla. Personally, he is drop-dead gorgeous. Watch out world, he's going to be mine. I will casually flirt hoping he asks me out and then proceed to the next level. Wouldn't you like to know what that is?

"Yeah, I would" Lu said laughing quietly.

I also got a new partner. Her name is Luisa Magdalena Delgado. She has a son, at least 11 by the looks of it. She's 29 years old and runs a free clinic- free clinic! Ha! I know that going to be costing Rittenhouse big bucks for sure. I over heard her saying that she came from South Philly and that she lived in the dumps. But she seems nice and I might want to get to know her better. She has a lot of spirit. I think it will be nice to have half the work I used to too.

"Gee, she knows my life story too."

I will be 37 in a few weeks and I still have no children. That sucks. An ob-gyn that works with pregnant women all day long and doesn't even have any of her own. Maybe if the thing I have for Nick works out we might have kids. Hopefully. Still I don't want to be a single mom. I'll write tomorrow!

Yours Truly,

Dana
