Summary: Ray and Sarah get on with their daily life. Featuring the much-anticipated wedding of Abby and John. Sequel to Breath of Life. Please read it before, or it gets confusing…
Disclaimer: ER is not mine. If it were, then Carter would not be leaving. And Abby and Carter would be married already. And I would be with Ray…
Author's Note: Okay writers block is pretty much the most evil thing ever. I am so sorry for my lack of updatingness, but since I have some holiday time coming up, I will write tons more.
Beat of Life
Sarah giggled as she lay on the bed. Her friends sat around her, one in a wheel chair, one on the floor and one on a hard plastic stackable one that she took no time at all complaining about. A nurse leaned in and told them to be quiet.
Sarah was thankful of Carter right now. She knew he had to pull some pretty long strings for them to allow her friends in here. But it helps when you've known the chief of staff since you were a second year med student.
The events of the past two weeks had been rather scary, and Sarah could not think of better people to spend them with. Her friends, her brother, John and Abby. They all sat here day and night. She was never alone now, for fear of retribution by people working for those who now sat in jail. An armed cop now sat outside her room, making sure that anyone who entered was not armed and that Sarah knew them. Another perk of being part of the Carter family.
Chandra, who sat on the hard plastic chair, said something about what a guy in their class had said. "Mr. Crompton was making fun of him again, and he said, 'Well then I'll just go to Oak Forest. Sabres rule!'. Then he started to make his fingers in to horns," she demonstrated. "Every time Mr. Crompton called on him he would go 'Sabres Rule!' and do the horn thing so finally we all asked why do you keep doing this," she demonstrated again, "and he said it was because a sabres a type of buffalo."
All the girls in the room laughed and the evil nurse stuck her head in again. "I'm sorry, but I must ask you to leave. Visiting hours are over."
The three girls all hugged Sarah and wished her luck on her surgery the next day, then bid her farewell. Chandra and Arya walked down the hall and towards the elevator to await their parents, and Mia was wheeled back down the hall to her room. She was to be discharged tomorrow, and Sarah, baring any complications with her shoulder, the day after next.
She didn't want to think about the imminent surgery. That word seemed to scare her. Every time she had heard it, it had always been after she had somehow survived.
She had had little time to reflect upon anything, because her big brother entered the room. One perk to working in the hospital was certainly the unlimited visiting hours. Ray would stay with her the night, then work all day, and hopefully stay with her in the recovery room tomorrow evening. That was the plan. She hoped it went that way.
Author's Note: Well, that's all for now. Hey at least its something. Oh and Caliga and Thought, I'm adding Mr. Meston (Mr. Crompton) to the story in a small way. He might even be more amusing with Ray then O'Hanly Man. Oh and sorry it's so short. Anywho, just click it.
