Thanks a ton for the reviews! I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to kinda rush through this. Were moving in a this saturday, and things will be really hectic. Then, I'm staring college. Woe to me.

And, FYI, I don't know any medical mumbo-jumbo. Forgive me. The extent of my medical knowledge is watching E.R.


Jesse's POV

"Doctor, we have a three car pile up." One of the nurses told me, interupting me as I was taking a patients history. I nodded quickly and turned to the new intern I was training.

"Finish this." I told him, turning to Mrs. Wilson. "I'll be right back." I proceded to run towards the emergency room door that was crashing open.

"35 year old pregnant female, just flatlined..." Jen, one of the EMT's gave me the woman's vitals, helping me push her into the nearest room. The gurney was pushed next to the bed.

"On my count. One, two, three." I said before lifting the woman's back board up and moved her off the gurney and on the bed. "Anything else, Jen?"

"Yeah, we think they might have been on they're way here, because her water broke." She said.

"Nombre de Dios..." I muttered, getting my stethoscope from behind my neck. "Got it. Thanks."

The EMT's left as I tried to hearthe baby's heartbeat. I let out a sigh of relief when I heard a soft thud. "I got a pulse on the baby, but we need to get it out of her. Someone get Maternity down here for a C-section. STAT!"

A nurse left quickly. I glanced over at a couple of other nurses performing CPR. "Doctor, we need to shock her."

"We can't. If we do, we could harm the baby. It still has a pulse." (A/N: I don't know if this is actually possible, but for the sake of this story, it is.) I told them.

"So what do we do?"

"Wait." I said as the other nurse ran back in. "They'll be down here in a few minutes."

I groaned. "I don't have a few minutes. Has anyone contacted her husband?"

"He died on impact." She said solumnly.

Inhaling deeply, I said. "Well, contact any family you can."


Suze's POV

I'm late. I'm so, so, so late! But it's so not my fault. It's this damn traffic!

Jesse and I had plans to eat lunch at the small diner across the street from the ER. He's probably gone there by now, but I have to check the hospital, just in case.

"Hi Betty!" I said brightly to the woman at the desk. She had been sitting right there for the past 50 plus years and did not want to retire. But she's the sweetest person you'll meet.

"Well, hey, Sweetie. Jesse's with a patient right now, but you can wait in his office if you'd like."

"OK, thank you." I said, moving to walk away. But something stopped me. "Actually, is Ryan in today?"

"Yes he is." A deep voice said behind me, causing me to jump at least three feet into the air.

"Hey." I said. Ryan was one of Jesse's best friends ever since they were interns together at the same hospital. So, aside from Jesse, he was the only otherdoctorI wascomfortable having this conversation with.

"What can I do for you?" He asked as we started walking.

"Um... I kinda need you to... Um... Well, I think I might be... pregnant."

He paused. "Really?" I thought Jesse couldn't bear children."

"No, the doctor said it wasn't likely. Not that he was infertile."

"OK. Well, I can take a blood sample and we'll find out in about 20 minutes."


Jesse's POV

"It's a boy." Dr. Landon announced as we all heard the comforting sounds of a crying baby. It was truly a miracle that he was alive. The maternity crew cleaned everything up and checked the baby to make sure everything was OK.

We tried for 20 minutes to get his Mom back, but it was too late. "Time of death 1:37." I announced, taking off my rubber gloves. "Did anyone find any family for that baby.

Susan was the only one who answered me. "The only person we could find was the father's Mom, who is in a nursing home."

I shook my head. "Well, can you contact social services?"

"Sure." She said, nodding.


Suze's POV

"I hate needles." I told Ryan matter of factly, as I took off my jacket.

He laughed a little. "Well, most people do." He rubbed alcohal on the area of my armwhere he was about to drain me from. "So, how long have you thought you were pregnant?"

"Well, I stopped birth control about a year ago. When we decided to have kids. Before the pill, I had really irregular periods." He tied the rubber rope thing just above the crook of my elbow. "For a couple months, I just assumed that I was having one of those odd gaps that I have in between, but-OW!" Ryan freaking stabbed me withthe needle.

"Sorry. Continue." He said, as if this was just hisnormal, every day, routine.

Well, it kind of was.

Ahem.

"But I've been nauseous a little. I mean, I threw up at the smell of Jesse's Axe spray, which I love."

He took the needle out-finally- and took off the rubber thing. He put a cotton ball on my arm, applying pressure to it.

"OK, pressure where I am for about 5 minutes. I'll find you when I have the results."

"Alrighty. Thanks!" I told him, putting my coat over my arm and my purse on my shoulder before replacing my fingers where his fingers were.

I walked down the hall, looking in rooms in an attempt to find Jesse. I heard him before I spotted him in one of the trauma rooms talking to someone from social services who looked a little familier. I checked to make sure the bleeding had stoppedbefore throwing away the cotton swab.

"Susannah." Jesse called, waving me over. I walked over and was introduced to Jane Kelly.

"I'll leave you two alone." She announced, leaving me extremelyconfused.

"Um... Jesse?" I asked hesitantly.

Jesse grabbed my hand walking me over to where a baby was sleeping in a crib, which I didn't notice before. I gasped, putting my hand on my mouth.It was absoulutly perfect.

He explained to me that the boy had nothing left, after both his parents died in a car accident and he was born through an emergancy C-section. This baby hd no family to go to and was probably going to be put up for adoption.

"But we have the opportunity to adopt him now. If we want." Jesse said, smiling.

I was shocked. So many thoughts were running through my mind. Like what if I am pregnant. How will Jesse react.

But my questions were about to be answered when Ryan walked in, holding the test results.


MUAHAHAHAH! I'm so evil. I'll update ASAP. REVIEW!
