"So...where are you going?" Chuny asks smiling.
"We're going to an Italian place down town," Sam replied smiling as she writes something down onto a chart.
"Ooh, so I take it he's paying!" Malik said in a rather camp way. They all laugh.
"Yes, yes he is paying," she replied beaming.
"Aw, it's so sweet, you two sure are made for each other. I bet you are so excited, what are you wearing!" she asked excitedly.
"Well I can hardly wear anything flattering I mean..." she points to her stomach. "but I do have this little black dress, which, is quite plunging in the neckline, and does my stomach justice. And yes, I am excited," she replied smiling.
"Little black dress, huh! We all have one of those!" Chuny answered before they all cracked up again.
Abby looks up from her charting still smiling. "You're excited about the romantic meal?" she asks cautiously.
"Yeah, why!" Sam replied laughing, wondering what her point could be.
"Hey, well I'd be more excited about the afterwards part but that's just me!" Abby replied laughing.
"Yeah, you would be. But we all know what comes afterwards right!" Chuny responded still smiling.
"Hey you can count me out that one! I think I can safely say I am one nurse who hasn't!" Malik said stepping back grinning.
"Do you mind! That's my boyfriend you're all talking about!" Sam replied cautioning them all still beaming. They all laugh.
"No, honestly, I don't think he's done that many of us. So what time are you leaving?" Chuny answered trying to turn the conversation around.
"Ah, about 6, the meal is booked for 7. And I don't wanna know how many he's done while he's been here, otherwise I'll be forced to reveal some of mine from past hospitals, and you seriously don't want me to go there," Sam said matter-of-factly, but still with a smirk on her face.
"Oh yeah! What did I say, made for each other! Ok, so 6, do we get to see you in your little black number?" she replied cheekily.
"Yes, I am getting changed here; we're going to the restaurant straight from here," Sam replied, picking up another chart.
"Oooh, well be sure to find me when you're leaving, I wanna see you stun the eyes off everyone," Chuny answered smiling.
"Yeah knock 'em dead. That should free up a few beds," Malik said smiling.
"Malik!" Chuny said half-shocked, she hit him on the arm and dragged him off down the hall.
"I will," Sam smiled as they walked off.
Ray comes up to the Admit desk, and leans on it.
"Hey Abby, you called Psych on that pizza guy yet?"
"Ah, yeah why?" Abby said looking up.
"Cos he's starting to get quite freaky, I heard him talking to himself when I went past. He sounded like he was arguing with someone," Ray said warily.
"Right. I'm guessing he's gotten a little fed up of the day job, huh?" Abby said sarcastically.
"Yeah, something like that, it's understandable. Just make sure Psych get down here fast he could be a danger to the other patients," Ray replied watchfully.
"Ok, I'll call them again," Abby said, as Ray walks off.
Two paramedics rush into the ER through the Triage doors, pushing a gold and glittery patient, Abby looks up at the sight of the sparkling.
"What is that!" Abby exclaimed.
"I have...no idea," Sam replied, bemused. They both walk around the desk approaching the patient.
"What do we have?" Sam asked, examining the patient being pushed through the ER.
"22 year old female, collapsed of dizziness, shortness of breath, headaches, and left side pain," he said, reading out more vitals.
"Ok, sweetheart, what's your name?" Abby asked her, looking at her.
"Marie," she replied gasping for air. "But you can call me cupid," she continued smiling.
Sam and Abby both smile. Marie has a gold fairy outfit on and a large cushioned bow and arrow, with heart shaped heads.
"Ok Marie, I'm Abby, I'm your Doctor, and this is Sam, we'll be treating you today ok?" Abby reassured her.
"Ok." Marie replied.
"Right let's get her into Trauma 2," She informed them; they pushed her down the hall and into Trauma 2.
Int. County General Hospital Trauma 2.
"Ok on my count. One...two...three,"
They all lift Marie onto the bed. The paramedics push out the gurney and leave.
"Ok, so when did you start experiencing the pain Marie?" Abby asks her, putting the stethoscope to Marie's chest.
"This morning, when I woke up, I thought it was nothing. But then when I got out onto the street it got worse," she replied.
"Ok, there's decreased breath sounds on the left. Let's get Labs, CT, Full chest X-Ray and CBC. Oh and get DuBenko down to have a look," Abby asked.
"Ok," Sam replied, writing down the orders.
"Ok Marie, we're just gonna run a few tests on you to see what's wrong, we'll be back in a bit ok?" Abby informed her.
"Ok," Marie replied, as Sam and Abby walk out of the room leaving another nurse to clear up.
"Ah, the ring woman needs an IV started can you do it for me?" Abby asks Sam as they walk up to Admit.
"Sure I'll go do it now," Sam replies, walking off to fetch an IV.

"Abby, get some work done chop, chop. Those patients haven't got all day now," Morris told her as she sat down at Admit.
"Shut up Morris, when you were a resident you didn't do any work. At all," she retorted.
"Ah well that's all changed now, I have a lot of important paper work to be doing," he replied smart-aleckey.
"Well get lost and do it!" Abby exclaimed annoyed. She walks off muttering something under her breath.
Int. County General Hospital Exam 6.
"So, tell me how did this happen?" Sam asked a pretty looking woman lay on a bed.
"My boyfriend had made this Chocolate Fudge Cake for tonight, he was cooking a meal. I got hungry and so I went for the cake, I didn't think he'd mind but then I started chocking on something hard and it was an Engagement Ring. He said he was gonna propose tonight. So I ruined the surprise," she replied, down-hearted.
"Where is he now?" Sam asked smirking.
"I have no idea. He got pretty mad at me," she sighed.
Sam raises her eyebrows. "He did? Over a ring?" she asked.
"Yeah said I'd spoilt the surprise and that I am impatient," she replied.
"So I take it he hasn't proposed yet then?" Sam asked openly.
"Nope,"
"Right," she replied smiling. "Ok I'm just gonna insert this needle, then I'll hook it up to the IV. It may sting a bit but it won't last long," she told her.
"Ok," Sam inserts the needle as the woman looks away. She then hooks the IV up to the canular she just inserted. "Ok you're done. Your Doctor will be along soon to discuss your test results ok?" Sam said.
"Yeah," She replies as Sam leaves.

"Poor woman," Sam said, looking back at her patient.
"What?" Ray asked looking up from a chart.
"In exam 6, she swallowed her Engagement Ring that was hidden in her dessert for this evening," she replied smirking.
"You're kidding!" he laughed.
"Nope, she took a bite and nearly choked," she replied, walking round the side of the desk and sitting down.
"Wow, bet the boyfriend was pleased with her," Ray said smirking.
"Uh-huh, he didn't propose," Sam smiled.
"He didn't!" Ray replied laughing. "I guess that's their meal ruined then,"
"You could say that," Sam said looking at a chart.
"Oh, there's a patient in the waiting room Abby wants you to take a look at. He's talking to himself apparently," Ray said
"The pizza guy? I thought he already came in," Sam asked him.
"Nope, different guy. This one's a Fed Ex guy. Talking to himself in the waiting room, there is now a 3 metre diameter of clear chairs around him. Keeps mentioning something about a 'dog'," Ray said.
"What is it with delivery guys today? They all gone psycho?"
"I'm guessing, yes,"
"Great. Just what I need," Sam replied as Ray smiles as she walks out through Triage and into the Waiting Area. She approaches a nervous looking man with a Fed Ex uniform on. He is muttering to himself.
"Ah sir, we're ready to see you now. If you'd just like to come this way," he looks up at Sam.
"What? You're going to help me?" he asked nervously.
"Yes," Sam sighed.
"No, no I can't go in there, you're gonna keep me prisoner,"
"No sir we're just trying to help you, if you'd like to come this way," Sam said trying to reassure him.
He jumps up and throws out his arm in the direction of Sam's stomach. She jumps back just in time.
"Woah there! Watch it," Sam said cautiously.
"Are you ok dear?" An elderly woman stood up, seeing what happened.
"Yeah I'm fine, thank you," she replied smiling to the old woman, who smiled back and sat back down. "Sir would you please come with me? I will help you ok?"
"You, you will? You seem nice," he said timidly
"I try. If you'd like to follow me," she replied walking in through Triage and showing the Man to a cubicle, he starts muttering to himself.
"No, no dogs. And no-no straight-jackets, ok? Ok?" he muttered.
Sam half-hears what he says but agrees anyway. "No, none of those," She rolls her eyes at Ray as she passes him.
"Ok, now if you'd just like to get changed into a gown we can examine you," she asked nicely.
"What? No, I'm not taking my clothes off! I won't," he starts to get agitated.
"Sir, we can't examine you if you don't," she replied matter-of-factly.
"I don't want to, not when people are watching," he replied looking around.
"Ok, well if you'd like to follow me, I'll show you to a more private room. It's just down the hall," she said showing him down the hall.
"Ok," he follows Sam down the corridor with a bag in his hand. They enter the room and he sits down on the bed. Sam gets a gown out of the cupboard nearest the door and hands it to the man.
"Now if you'd just like to put this gown on, I'll get the Doctor along to see you," she replied, walking out of the room.
"Ok," he puts his bag down on the floor and it's open. He has an assortment of sharp knives resting on some towels. Sam closes the door behind her, not seeing the contents of the bag.

"Oh he's a live one," Sam exclaimed.
"Who is?" Abby asked.
"Fed Ex guy you wanted me to see to,"
"Oh, yeah. He was starting to scare the patients. I think we should call Psych,"
"Yeah, they're really getting their money's worth today,." she looks through some papers and drops them suddenly. "Ow!" Sam cried out, she clutches her stomach.
"What? What is it?" Abby asked looking worried.
Sam looks up at Abby shocked. "Baby just kicked for the first time," she replied beaming.
"Really! Oh my god Sam that's fantastic! Can I feel?" she asked excitedly.
"Sure! If she'll co-operate," Sam smiled Abby puts her hand to Sam's stomach. They wait a few seconds then Abby's face lights up.
"Oh my god! That is amazing!" she replies smiling.
"I know, she's early; Alex didn't start kicking til 6 and a half months," she smiled still looking a little shocked.
"She, huh?" Abby asked smiling.
Sam beamed. "Yeah, I just know,"
Ray walks up to them he can see they are excited about something.
"Hey what's going on? " he asks inquisitively.
"Ah, baby just kicked for the first time," she smiled.
"No way! That's awesome. Can I feel?" he asks looking apprehensive.
"Yeah sure, here," she takes his hand and puts it to the spot where Abby's hand was. "Wait a second she might do it again," They wait for a moment then... "There!"
"Wow, that is incredible!" he exclaimed taking his hand away
"I know. I can hardly believe it, she's got quite a kick on her," she replies, as they laugh.
"Must be the Croatian genes flying about," Abby said jokingly.
Sam's face lights up and she laughs. "Yeah. See you guys later,"
She walks off down the hall, sees Luka coming out of an Exam Room andpulls him to one side eager to tell him what she just experienced.
"Hey, I have something to tell you,"
"Hey, what is it?" Luka said adoringly.
"Baby just kicked, for the first time," she said smiling.
"What! No way!" he said beaming.
"Yep, gave me quite a shock!" she replied also beaming.
"Wow, that is amazing!" he said pulling her closer.
"Here have a feel; she knows when someone's touching her," She pulls Luka's hand to her stomach, as he smiles broadly.
"She!" he beamed.
Sam looks at him affectionately. "Yep, I know it's gonna be she," she smiles.
"So is she gonna have your eyes or mine?" he asked smirking.
"I don't know yet, we shall have to see," she smiles broadly. "Wait a second, she'll do it,"
They wait, then Luka's face lights up just as Abby's did.
"That is incredible!" he pulls his hand away and touches Sam's face. "She is incredible...you are incredible. I love you,"
"I love you too," Sam smiles adoringly at him. They move in and kiss.
"I guess I should get back to work, see you later," she said smiling at him, holding his hand whilst walking away down the hall.
"Yeah, both of you!" Luka replied smiling. As she got further away their arms became outstretched until Luka was leaning towards her balancing on one foot.They let go and Luka regained his balance again as Sam blew a kiss at him.
