Ch.12 Lu's Nightmare

Kim: He was in a car accident and a truck ran into him

Lu: crying what hospital is he at?

Kim: He's at Hillside Hospital, the last thing he said before the EMT's took him in the ambulance was "call my mom" and he pointed to his cell phone in my hand

Lu: my baby! I'm on my way ok?

Ben was in the bathroom and heard Lu so he got his keys and told Lu to come on

At Hillside Hospital...

Lu: runs to the nurses desk where is my son Marc Delgado? The nurse pointed straight down the hall

Lu ran down the hall so fast she was knocking people down. She finally got to Marc's room Marc was laying there with tubes and IV's in him all Lu could do was break down and cry and Ben was right there to hold her.

Lu: tears falling down her face rubbing Marc's head my baby boy, oh my baby boy

The doctor walked in the room

Doctor: are you his mother?

Lu: yes I'm Dr. Delgado please tell me what happened

Doctor: well Dr. Delgado Marc got in a car accident with a truck and as you know trucks are bigger then cars so Marc got the worse injuries then the truck but we are doing everything that we can to help him

Lu: I want him to get transferred to Rittenhouse Hospital

Doctor: well Doctor I don't think…Lu cuts him off

Lu: I don't care what you think I want Marc to be transferred so I can take care of him! Lu stormed out

Ben: chased after Lu its going to be ok I'm going to go fill out the paper work so we can get Marc transferred as soon as possible ok?

Lu: Ok I'll be in the room with Marc in case he wakes up

Ben: ok I'll be right back he kisses Lu on the forehead and walks down the hall

So Ben got the paper work done and while paramedics was prepping Marc to get on the helicopter Lu calls Lana at the clinic

Lana: picks up the phone RWHC!

Lu: sounds drowned out from crying Hey Lana

Lana: Lu where are you? Are you crying?

Lu: I'm bringing Marc in from Hillside Hospital

Lana: what happened?

Lu: Lana I need for you have the paramedics waiting for us to come out the helicopter

Lana: ok, but tell me what happened

Lu: Lana! Getting aggravated can you please just do this for me!

Lana: ok baby I'll see you when you get here

Lu: thank you bye …she hangs up

At Rittenhouse

They arrive at the hospital, Lu and the EMT's takes Marc upstairs to put him a private room. So they got Marc situated. Lu walked down to the clinic

Lana: you all right baby?

Lu: yea I'm ok but I just can't believe what happened tears falling down her face

Lana: What about Marc?

Lu: he's doing ok I guess even though he hasn't woke up yet and his right leg and left arm is broken and Ben is sitting right next to Marc waiting for him to wake up

Lana: omg, Lu you want me to clear your schedule so you can be with Marc

Lu: no Lana I'm ok

Lana: no Lu I'm not going to have you walking around here miserable, now I'm going to clear your schedule so go up to your baby boy.

Later that day…

Ben comes down stairs to Andy's office

Ben knocks on the door

Ben: cracking open the door Dr. Campbell can I talk to you

Andy: oh of course Ben come in, I'm so sorry about Marc, I wanted to talk to Lu but I couldn't catch her today

Ben: thank you, yeah Lana cleared her schedule for the day

Andy: ok good

Ben: yeah well I'm really concerned about Lu cuz you know how she works to get her mind off things… well I just came down here to ask you if you could take over her patients for like 2 or 3 days. So she can get some rest and so she won't have to worry about anybody but Marc and her self.

Andy: yea of course, I'll do anything to help

Ben: Andy thank you so much, even though I know I'm going to get yelled at by her for doing this but oh well cuz she really needs this so thank you

Andy: yeah I agree with you

Ben: thanks again Andy

Andy: no problem

Ben: well I'm going to go back upstairs to see if Marc has made any changes

Andy: ok, tell Lu I'll be up there as soon as I get some time.

Right when Ben walked into the room Marc opens his eyes

Lu: Jumps up to his side pushing his hair back hey baby tears filling in her eyes

Marc: very drowsy hey mom what happened to me the only thing that I remember is a truck coming at me then me telling Kim to call you

Ben: Hey Marc

Marc: Hey Ben

Ben: I'm glad you woke up cuz your mom just couldn't be still smiling

Marc: smiling yea she gets like that sometimes

Lu: laughing kissingMarc baby I love you

Marc: I love you to mom, how long do I have to stay here

Lu: well honey they need to run some more tests and they have to cast up your arm and leg so you should be out in 2 or 3 days

Marc: ok good

Lu: yea and I'll be right down stairs if you need anything… before Marc say anything Ben interrupted

Ben: sorry Marc but Lu can I talk to you outside please

They walk out the door Ben cracked the door

Lu: what's wrong

Ben: nothing but I know your going to get mad at me for doing this but I had to

Lu: what did you do?

Ben: earlier remember when I left the room cuz I told u I needed some air…well I went to Dr. Campbell's office and asked her to take your patients for the next 3 days or so

Lu: Ben why did you do that? I'm capable of working!

Ben: I know baby but I'm very concerned about you and I've noticed you work to get things off your mind and that's not good cuz it's putting a lot of stress on you and one day I hate to say it but your going to break down. And you know I don't want to see breakdown that's why I'm doing this so please don't be mad at me just know I love you and that's why I did it ok?

Lu: ok Ben I guess I'll be ok not working for 2 days but I'm going to work on the third day!

Ben: Ok Lu thank you so much kisses Lu on the forehead and hugs her really tight

They walk back in the room to be with Marc
