Chapter 7
Survival
A/N: sorry I haven't updated for a while, this takes part practically straight after the last chapter finishes. You'll figure it out!
Carters POV
I'm sitting outside Trauma 1, there wasn't time to take her up to the OR. God I hope shes OK, shes been in there for over 4 hours, I haven't heard anything. She will be OK, shes on good hands, they closed to all traumas and Elizabeth, Weaver, Luka, Pratt and Sam. Gallant went up to the NICU with Neela, Kerry sent Susan home about an hour ago, she was very tired and probably too worried about Abby. Suddenly the doors open, Weaver walks out.
"shes OK, we had to remove one of her kidneys where one of the bullets hit and we managed to repair the hole in her stomach. She'll be fine, but we will keep her in here for a while!"
"God, thank-you so much, I was so scared that I would never see her again!" I start crying tears of relief!
"hey, its OK" i feel her put her arm around me "look, she won't wake up for about an hour now. She will need you and look at you, go into the lounge and try to get some sleep, I'll come and get you when she starts to wake up!"
"OK" I nod at her, shes right, I'm no use like this!
I walk slowly to the lounge, I must fall asleep straight away because the next thing I remember is Weaver coming to wake me up.
"hey, she coming round!"
I wake up straight away and run round to Trauma. Shes lying there intubated, her eyes are open and she looks at me as I walk in, Luka is in there to.
"hey" I say to her as i sit down next to her bed
she smiles
"can you extubate her?"
"well her breathing is regular and she had no damage to her lungs, so I suppose so" he smiles at me
he moves over to do it, I can't watch as he does it.
"hey" I move back over to her
"John" she replies.
"how you feeling?"
"OK, I suppose, what did they have to do in the end?"
"well, they had to remove one of your kidneys and they managed to repair the hole in your stomach so you will have to be fed through a drip for a while!"
"Oh great, what happened to Eric?"
"well, security cane and arrested him, they were going to take him to Illinois state penitentiary but I made them take him to psych. hes in a safe room at the moment"
"hey, thanks, he would have never forgiven me if he went to jail, can I see him?"
"look Abby, he was really upset about what happened and I think that if he sees you like this then, well he may get worse. But i'll see if you can go and see him once you are out!"
"OK" she looks really tired
"look, you look shattered, try to get some sleep!"
"OK, as long as you stay here!"
"OK, i'll stay until your asleep but then I'll go and get you some clothes and have a shower!"
"OK" she closes her eyes, I gently kiss her on the lips, she smiles. I watch her, her chest rise and fall rhythmically until she's asleep. I get up quietly and leave the room. I make my way to the lounge to get my coat, Frank yells something at me but I just ignore him, I go home and notice the answer phone light flashing, I press the button.
"John, its Susan, can you phone and tell me what you know as soon as you get this, thanks!"
I pick up the phone and dial her number Chuck picks up "hello"
"hi Chuck, is Susan there"
"shes asleep at moment, but I can take a message!"
"look Chuck, its John, please let me speak to her!"
"OK, but if shes angry you can get yourself out of it!"
"OK"
I wait a while as he goes to wake her
"John" he voice is desperate "is she OK?"
"yeah, shes fine" I hear her sigh of relief "she had one of her kidneys removed and they managed to repair the hole in her stomach
"Oh God, I take it she's awake?"
"yeah, well, I made her sleep"
"good, can I go and see her?"
"yeah, she'll like it that your there when she wakes up!"
"OK" "tell her I'll be by later, I just really need to try to get some sleep!"
"OK, thanks John!"
"its OK, bye"
"bye!"
I suddenly relise how tired I am, not just physically, mentally as well. I can't be bothered to get undressed so I just climb into bed and fall asleep.
