What Happens Now?
A/N: Hi guys this is ChicagoFireLover 101 under a new name. It's been awhile but I'm happy to be back. I am redoing this story and continuing it. Its an AU based after Season 12 Episode 37.
Chapter 1- 2 months later
It's been two months since the factory exploded, Mike is still waiting on a kidney donor, Steve and Gabby are out on the farm helping Ben after their Dad died and there is a new guy.
"Morning," Jo Mathieson called as she walked through the door and saw the two new doctors that have recently just finished their training until Mike can get back up on his feet.
Mike was still there, doing the paperwork and the meetings. Whilst helping Jo with training the two doctors, but he didn't go out on rescues until a donor kidney came up.
"Morning," Mike replied, looking up from the stack of paperwork he was completing.
"Mornin," Adam Rossi said as he was a replacement doctor at the moment, he had made the switch temporarily after himself and Charlotte started dating.
"Did you complete yesterday's reports?" Jo yelled from the change rooms as she changed into her uniform and grabbed her jacket.
"Yeah I did, Mike has them." Adam replied, turning back to his conversation with Nicholas "Nick" Marcos, the doctor that replaced Steve.
"Great," she said taking half of the stack of paperwork sitting on Mike's desk and sitting at one of the computers.
"What are you doing?" He exclaimed, looking at her with a confused look on his face.
"Helping you," she simply replied, not turning to look at him.
"Huh, I've heard from Steve. They're coming back to the city," Mike said as Jo turned to face him as he spoke
"Are they thinking of returning to All Saints?" she asked, leaning back in her chair as a smile graced her face.
"From what he said, yes." Mike replied, as operations came over the radio.
Operations to MRU, do you copy?
"Copy operations, what have you got?" Jo asked, pressing the button and then releasing it.
Car accident, 2 occupants. Medical unknown. Rescue on scene
"Copy that. Come on boys, grab you stuff. Marcos your turn to drive, don't tell Steve, I will deny all." She said, grabbing her medikits and throwing the 4WD's keys to the nervous looking doctor.
On scene
"What have we go?" Jo asked, taking charge of the scene as she grabbed a medikit and walked towards the onscene paramedics.
"Male and female. Both trapped, male is alert and responsive. Female unconcious. We had to intubate." The paramedic said as Jo knelt next to the female driver.
"Nick, Adam, take the male passenger. And be careful, I smell fuel," she said, looking up at her two partners before returning her focus to her patient who was not in a good way. Severe lacerations to the face, and possible internal bleeding. "Ma'am, can you hear me?" Jo called, rubbing the woman's sternum to try and rouse her.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the car, the boys were just kneeling down to a very distressed man. "Sir, can you tell us where it hurts?" Adam asked.
"Yea-ah, it really hurts," he said between sharp breaths of air he was trying to get into his lungs. Possible tension pneumothorax, Adam thought as he opened his kit bag.
"Sir, I need you to calm down for me. I want you to focus on your breathing. Breath with me...in...out." Adam said, looking the man in the eye and breathing with him as his breaths evened out. "Good, now can you tell me your name and your wife's?"
"Dayle and Meriah," Dayle replied, relaxing as much as he could now that he could breath properly.
"Dayle, can you tell me where it hurts?" He asked, as Nick placed an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose.
"Stomach and chest," he replied as Adam lifted his shirt up and started examining his abdomen and finding quite extensive bruising.
"Jo, how long until Rescue can get him out?" Adam asked, looking over at his partner.
"They can start now, is he stable?" Jo asked, looking up from where she was hanging another bag of fluids.
"Stable as I can get him," he replied, backing off as Rescue got in there with the Jaws of Life.
"Nick, get in the back and monitor him. Adam, I need your help around here. I need you to keep her neck still as I can't get the cervical collar on her while Rescue cuts off her door," Jo said, as Nick got into the back seat and Adam walked around and got into the back as well as Rescue got in and di their job.
An hour later-ED
"Mathieson!" Frank Campion yelled, as the team walked towards the lift after filling out the ED's medical forms that they required to fill in after every call. Frank was the Head of Emergency Depart at All Saints Hospital. And he was very good at his job too, apart from his temperament.
"Yeah?" she said, looking up at him as he walked over to them.
"The wife, she didn't make it," he simply said before walking off in the direction of his office whilst yelling orders at his staff.
"Great," she muttered, dumping the remaining forms on Adam and walking off towards the stairwell to go upstairs to the MRU base.
"Is she okay?" Nick asked, not knowing of Jo's temperament and how she doesn't like anyone asking how she is.
"Rule 1, never ask Jo if she is okay after a bad call. Rule 2, treat Jo like the independant woman that she claims to be. Rule 3, treat Jo like the badass paramedic that she is." Adam said, as they got onto the lift to go upstairs.
Upstairs
"Hey, long time no see," Steve Taylor said, as Jo walked through the doors and dumped her medikit on one of the chairs.
"Hey," she smiled, walking over to him and hugging him tightly.
"Gee wow, Jo Mathieson as turned into a hugger. What have you done Mike?" Steve joked, as she punched him in the arm before going to sit down and restock the medikit.
"Absolutely nothing, so are you coming back to the MRU?" Mike asked, wanting his doctor back on his team. All Mike wanted was his original team back together.
"If you will have me back," Steve said, looking at him with a hopeful expression on his face.
"What do you think Jo?" He asked, looking over at his paramedic as the boys walked through the door.
"I don't know if I could stand looking at his ugly mug all day," she joked, as he shot her a look before looking back at Mike.
"Of course you can, it would be great to have you back. And I'm sure Adam is practically dying to be back and working with Frank again," Mike laughed, just like old times.
"How is Gabby doing?" Jo asked, referring to Gabrielle's pregnancy that they finally announced at the end of Von's going away party 2 months earlier.
"Great, morning sickness is easing off slowly but she's great. She is taking her head of nursing job back in the ED," Steve explained as Frank got off the lift and walked in without knocking which is typical for Frank.
"By all means Frank, come on it," Mike muttered leaning back in his chair as the other four laughed.
"Shut it Vlasek, Taylor great to have you back, I hope Jaegar won't be turning up to work throwing up all the time," He said, turning to face the doctor.
"You will have to take it up with her Frank," Steve said as the radio came to life again.
Operations to MRU, do you copy?
"Copy that operations, what have you got for us?" Jo said, getting to the radio before Steve could.
Two injured in State Forest, exact location unknown. Rescue chopper in air, MRU chopper en route to you
"Copy that operations, we'll be ready." Jo said, as the boys picked up the newly stocked medikits and headed towards the elevator.
"Radio in what you've got when you find them," Frank said, as the elevator doors closed behind them.
"So when do you think I can have my doctor back?" Mike asked, turning to look at Steve.
"Whenever you want," he replied, as Frank took a seat in one of the vacated spots.
"It would be good to have my ED doctor back again," Frank said, putting his ten cents worth in.
3 hours later
"How did it go?" Mike asked, as his paramedic and doctors walked in drenching wet, cold and weary.
"We lost another patient," Jo shivered before walking into the change rooms to get out of the dripping uniform and put it in the washing machine as it was covered in mud and blood.
"I'll see you guys later," Adam and Nick said, as they left towards the elevators as they had already changed downstairs.
"See you tomorrow Rossi, downstairs." Frank said, looking at his ED doctor.
"Got it," he said, finally leaving to go home to Charlotte and her son.
"You okay?" Steve asked, breaking all the rules that Adam had laid out earlier to Nick.
"Yeah fine," she replied, not looking up from the reports she was filling out.
"Okay, well I will see you guys tomorrow. Have a good night." Steve said, also taking his leave through the door and to the elevator.
"See you tomorrow," Jo said, standing up and gathering her things before walking out of base before Mike could say anything.
He sat there and though, what would tomorrow bring?
Thanks for reading guys, hope you enjoy this first chapter. Please RnR and I will post more. :)
