Warped Love
Chapter 2
Note- sorry for the wait, but although I knew what was going to happen next I had some difficulty writing it out. So after much deliberation within my mind this is the result, hope you all enjoy.
Lucy opened her eyes and saw the blurred forms of her colleagues working around her. She blinked away her blurred vision and was greeted by Kerry. She turned her head quickly as she heard Carter's pained groan from the next room. Dr. Chen ran into the room and took Dr. Benton who had decided that Lucy would need exploratory surgery, but that he believed she would be fine. She was lucky that the angle of the blade caused there to be no serious damage.
"Lucy?" Carter said sadly as Benton entered the room and he got a glimpse of her with the swinging of the door. "She'll be fine Carter, she was lucky" Benton replied as he looked into Carter's distressed eyes. "Let's move him" Benton and Luka took hold of the bed and wheeled it to the elevator as Deb willed Carter to stay awake while watching his eyes grow weary.
Lucy was wheeled out behind Carter, as she was being brought up for surgery as well. "Carter" she spoke with a smile. Carter was wheeled into the elevator "Lucy? I'm sorry," he said as the doors closed.
Lucy was in and out of surgery in under an hour and would be able to recover with a few visits to the physical therapist. She was lying on her bed starring into space when Elizabeth Corday entered the room with a large smile. "Hey there. How are you feeling?" She sat down beside Lucy. "My stomachs sore, but besides that I'm fine" Lucy paused for a moment "How's Dr. Carter?" Elizabeth took notice at the formality of her speech. "He's still in surgery, but Dr. Benton and Anspaugh will see him through this." Lucy gave Elizabeth an unsure look. "Would you like me to go check and report back?" Elizabeth questioned. Lucy thought for a moment "Yes, please. I just have to know… he saved my life Dr. Corday, I mean what if he hadn't come at that moment or at all?" A few tears ran down Lucy's cheeks, Elizabeth grabbed a few tissues and handed them to her "Don't think like that. I'll be back in a few minutes, will you be alright?" Lucy nodded as she wiped strayed tears from her reddening face.
Elizabeth left the room and headed to the check on Carter. As she stood behind the glass she watched as Benton and Anspaugh fought about Carter's kidney, but even after solving that dilemma Carter stats continued to fall. Elizabeth was planning on staying until she was assured that Carter would be all right, but was interrupted when her beeper went off for her to head to the ER. Once she got there she was assigned to a penetrating trauma involving oil.
