Lu walks into the room. She was shocked to see all the machines and tubes that were keeping her partner alive. None of her years of practicing medicine and seeing people sick and even dyeing could have prepared her for what she saw when she came into the room. Those 1st few hours were the hardest. She sat down in the hard plastic chair and held Dana's hand. She remembered that people in coma's can hear you and so she talked. She reminded Dana of her two children, Annie and Luisa. She told Dana of her patients, her home, and of Dana's parents, and loved ones. She told Dana of the funny things that Luisa and Annie had done last night.

"…It was so funny Dana! I wish you could have been there! Annie and Luisa were dressed up as princess's and they were going around casting orders to their dolly's AKA royal servants. They were so cute! I took tons of pictures for you. Oh and Annie's school play was last night. She was Sleeping Beauty in the play. She did wonderful! She was so gorgeous! She had on this fluffy blue ball gown and a real silver tiara, and her blonde hair was brushed and curled into long shinny locks. She had on a little bit of make up and a great attitude. She is your great little actress. She can do anything, just like her mommy." With that Lu almost swore she saw Dana smile but she just pushed it off because she figured it was so late and she was tired. She figured it was just her mind playing tricks on her.

"Visiting hours are almost over" Said a young nurse

"Oh, its you Dr. Delgado, I'm sorry! My apologies" The nurse said as she looked at Lu

"I have to stay with Dana." Lu mumbled

"Honey It's 7am you need some rest. But that's just my opinion do you ever go home?" The girl joked

"Not lately" Lu answered seriously

"Can you sit with Dana? I need to go use the phone and we can't use cell phones in here because Dana's on Oxygen."

"Yeah sure"

Lu would have to make a choice that nobody in their right minds should have to make. Her new children or her best friend.

"Hello? Delgado residence may I ask who's speaking?" Jamie asked in a professional tone.

"Hey Jamie…This is Lu."

"Hey Lu what's up?"

"Honey I'm not going to be home for a while. Can you please take care of the children? Its Saturday and so I know you don't have school. Please take care of them if you want you can bring them up later. If not just stay home or take them to the park."

"UM Yeah sure Lu but why won't you be home for a while what happened?"

"A friend of mine had a accident and she is in a coma. I need to stay with her."

"OK Lu love you be careful! I hope your friend gets better."

"Thanks love you give the babies hugs and kisses for me?"

"Sure Lu"

"OK bye!"

"Love you bye!"

Lu hung up the phone and then dialed the number to Judge Trinity's office. When the Judge answered, she simply told her that she wouldn't be able to come to the hearing today because her friend had an accident and she needed to stay with her so could she reschedule. Judge Trinity said she could and told her to call her once everything was resolved. She said that she would work something out.

Lu walked to the break room and noticed that it was time to clock in again. So Lu clocked in and then went to her office to change her clothes. She knew that she had better get a move on because she needed to talk to Dr. Jackson soon.

"Dr. Jackson may I have a word with you?"

"What is it now Dr. Delgado?"

"I would like to request a few days off. I need to stay with Dana."

"Lu Dana is under the best care in the whole state of PA. What will you do about the clinic?"

"I don't know."

"Do you have someone who can sub for you?"

"Yes sir I do. Dr. Jackson, Dana needs me, and I need to be with her !"

"Get your doctor in here, then I will give you 2 weeks off."

"Thank You! You won't be sorry!"

"I hope not"

"Hello, Hanson residence, Syd speaking."

"Hey Syd, it's Lu, you know from Med. School?"

"Oh, hey Lu how are you doing?"

"I'm fine, its just well didn't you say that you wanted a break from the crazy ER?"

"Yes is a spot open?"

"Well a friend who I work with had an accident and so I need to go and be with her. She is in ICU but her condition is not good at all.

She is in a coma, so I would need you to cover for me and take care of my children."

"OK Lu sure I'll cover for you. And you know I love children."

"OK great how soon could you be here?"

"Tonight?"

"Great u can stay at my place."

"OK GREAT!"

"You can meet my new children. I'm sure they would love you."

"When did you have children?, tell me about them."

"Well their names are Jamie, Emmy, and Lizzy. Jamie is 15, Emily is 2, almost 3, and Lizzy is 6mts."

"Oh I have to go Joanie is calling me. But I will be there around 7 OK?"

"All right thanks Syd. I owe you one"

"Any time girl"

Lu hung up with Syd and told Dr. Jackson that Syd would be there tonight, soon after, she went and sat in Dana's room and there she talked to her and held her hand until later that night when the children came to visit her.

"Hey Jamie!" Lu called as she saw Jamie coming towards her.

"Yeah?"

"Syd Is going to stay with us for a while. She is going to work the clinic for me and help mind the younger children. Break is coming up soon can you help her with the smaller children?"

"Sure Lu but for how long?"

"I'm not sure honey. Dana is in a coma. I want to stay with her."

"Aunt Dana?"

"Yes honey Aunt Dana"

"What happened?"

"She fell off the roof of the hospital and landed on the concrete."

"Suicide?"

"No Jamie, not suicide. Its not suicide because Dana would never in her life do something like that to her friends and family. "
