Sorry guys but unfortunately I am going to my college orientation tomorrow and I won't be back until Thursday. So no more updates until Thursday( But hopefully I'll come home to a mailbox full of reviews!
Chapter 6
Two hours later, Jason found himself plenty busy when one of his trauma patients took a turn for the worse. But he couldn't help the goofy grin that wanted to break free, even as he ordered a fluid bolus in response to the man's low blood-pressure.
A baby. He and Elizabeth were going to have a baby.
Not that she was especially thrilled with his reappearance in her life, and truthfully, that fact rankled. What was her problem? We had a good time, let's leave it at that. Like hell. She obviously had issues she wasn't sharing with him, but he wanted her, anyway.
Not just physically, although that attraction hadn't dimmed in the least. She was smart. He admired her nursing skill, the way she remained cool and calm in an emergency, multitasking like a pro.
Like now.
"How much fluid have we given him?"
Elizabeth hung an IV antibiotic, answering him over her shoulder.
"Three liters, not counting the two units of blood. Urine output is marginal, his central venous pressure is up to 15."
See? She'd read his mind.
"All right, back off on the fluids. If his pressure begins to drop again, we'll need to start him on epinephrine."
"Okay."
She crossed to the supply cart and frowned.
"Out of suction catheters? The second shift materials tech must not have come in. I'd better do an inventory."
She had yet to look at him, seeming to take every opportunity to remain distant. Briskly, she picked up her clipboard and headed toward the supply room.
Oh, no, he wasn't putting up with another of her infamous disappearing acts. Jason quickly followed.
"I'll help."
She barely spared him a glance as she made her way down the hall.
"Don't you have more important things to do?"
"No."
His trauma pager had been blessedly silent and his patients were stable for the moment.
"Stop avoiding me."
"Are you going to hound me like this for the whole nine months? Because if so, I'll go crazy."
She went straight to the back of the room and began tallying supplies.
"No, you won't. You're a survivor."
He grabbed her clipboard, tossed it aside then lightly clasped her arms.
"Elizabeth, tell me what is really bothering you, besides being pregnant?"
The lights abruptly went out, enclosing the supply room in total darkness.
Hope you liked it! Please Read and Review!
