It had been two weeks now since that kiss between Abby and Carter, they were trying to actively see each other, this of course while trying to hide it from the nurse, a mission that was in fact impossible.
Carter walked into the ER, it seemed pretty normal, except he sees no attendings standing around the admin desk and the nurses seem to be talking more than usual. Carter gets nervous; it's never good when the nurses are talking. Kerry walks out of the nurse caucus and signs to Carter to follow him. Carter starts mumbling to himself.
'She doesn't know, I mean how would she…' Malick smiles at him with a slight hint of a giggle. 'Oh I'm in trouble' Carter walks towards Kerry awaiting the worse.
"Hey Kerry…" he is interrupted almost immediately by her.
"You late John, we have been awaiting you for the past thirty minutes."
"I though I started at 7!"
"The attending meeting at 6:30 Dr Carter, did you forget?" he is so relieved this has nothing to do with Abby.
"Ah – I totally …" He's interrupted again.
"John I can understand if your mind is somewhere else these days and where ever it is please get it back here so that it stops affecting your work, I would not like to have to make this into an issue."
"Got it. What was that meeting about again?"
Kerry Sighs very loudly and continues walking towards the conference room, Carter follows her. He tries to remember what was the meeting was about, he remembers Luka telling him about it, and knows he wanted to be there, that it was important but he just can not remember what it was.Weaver pushes the doors open, and like she wanted to humiliate Carter exclaims
"Look who decided to join us" Carter blushes slightly and sits down. Susan Lewis is standing in the front, she talks about how for a while now the hospital has been looking into finding another attending for the ER. Just then and there Carter woke up, this was it this is why he wanted to be here, today was the day he learned if Audrey got the job. Susan continues talking about what she expects of the new attending
"… Also I hope to reinstate something that was first initiated by Dr. Doug Ross a pediatrics department of the ER, a place for children to feel comfortable. It took a while before we found a doctor that could fill the place of ER peds attending, but we found someone…"
Carter can not help but get discouraged at this point, it can not be Audrey, she was not in peds, he is sadden by these news and hopes the new attending won't be too much of a pain. Dr Lewis continues
"… So anyways after long research, I think we found quite the pearl." She begins walking towards the doors and as she opens them she presents the new attending
"I would like to present everyone with our new ER Pediatric Attending, Dr. Audrey Parker" Carter turns around, he can not believe it, she's a peds and she got the job.
Audrey walks into the room she is dressed up, she thanks Susan and walks towards the front. Kerry invites Audrey to present herself.
"Hello, I was at the end of my residency in Montreal in Canada when I saw the position here and I though it was a great opportunity to pursue the branch I truly wanted ER pediatrics, I love working with children but I just can not seem to leave the ER. I hope to meet you all further and I'm hoping we will work well together, although I already had the chance to meet and work with some of you." She winks to carter and he smiles back at her. Kerry gets up,
"As you all realized we will now reopen the peds ward in the ER, one of exam rooms will be transformed and Audrey will be in charge. But for now everyone back to work, Audrey you spend the day with me. Ill show you around"
While the staff leaves Audrey finishes thanking Susan and leaves with Kerry.
