Summary: Ray, Abby and Carter get too attached to a patient! What will happen when they found she is a relation to one of their own?

Disclaimer: I don't own ER! Nope, none of it! However, I do own Sarah, and both detectives; so you can't have them! Oh and also Ray's parents, since even though they kinda have to exist, they have not been mentioned in any episodes.

Author's Note: Okay, I'm definitely going to reveal whom she is related to in this chapter. I'm not going to actually come out and say, "(insert name here) is related to Sarah", but if you cannot figure it out, then you deserve to be hit in the head with a 2x4, to quote my former Social Studies Teacher. Mrs. Smith (not MS. SMITH, my so called "twin" I hate you Ashley!) has infiltrated our minds.

"…So, she doesn't know who she is?" Mrs. Barnett asked. The elderly woman was curious of her son's knew friend.

"Not, until a couple weeks ago. Her parents were killed after they didn't pay ransom. They were drug addicts," he added.

"What a horrible life," Mr. Barnett replied.

"Well, it gets worse. It turns out her parents had actually adopted her. Her birth mother was also a drug addict. It's so complicated."

"So where is she now?" Ray's mother asked, as she cleared the dishes from the kitchen table.

"She's staying with Abby and Carter, until they find a permanent placing for her. She's decided to stay in Chicago."

"And this Abby and Carter, they're the ones getting married, right?" Ray's father was just a little confused.

"Yup!"

"So where is Sarah originally from? You never mentioned that."

"Oh, well her birth mother lived in Reno, but her parents lived in Las Vegas," Ray said casually.

"Did you say Reno?" Mrs. Barnett asked Her eyes where as larger as saucers and she looked as if she had seen a ghost. Mr. Barnett had just about spit out his coffee.

"Yah…Why…?"

"She's fourteen, right, just about fifteen. And her hair is reddish-brown, right?" Mrs. Barnett quickly asked. She seemed nervous. Ray was really nervous.

"Yah…What does this have to do with anything?"

"Ray, we have something to tell you," Ray's father started.

"Ray, when you were born, we adopted you. Your birth mother was from Reno."

"What?" Ray stared at his parents in open mouthed disbelieve.

"Your birth mothers name was Cassandra Brown. She was 16 when she had you. Shortly after you were born she became addicted to heroin. When you were eleven, we got a phone call, saying that she had had another child. That child I think might have been Sarah. "

Author's Note: Okay, it's out there. She's related to Ray! So if you like it, tell me! You know the drill. Oh, and by the way, I'm assuming that Ray is 26 years old.
