The grief was to much for Gray to handle and he walked away from her. Amber is to busy with her work and raising her infant niece to have a relationship. The accident and seeing Amber again makes Gray realize what he has lost and he wants it back. O.C Amber X Gray
A tall slim women was walking down the corridor of the hospital in her scrubs. It was a start of her 12 hour shift. She has been working as a nurse for the last 10 years at Fairy Tail Hospital. She walked past a window and looks out. It was a blister hot day and it was expected to get in the high 20's. Today she was working on the 2 floor. She puts her stethoscope around her neck and goes to the nurses station. The clipboards of patients that had come in were line up for the doctors to see on the counter. A office chair was waiting for her to sit down and sign into the computer for her shift. She was in charge of the follow nurses as the head nurse was on vacation for a month.
Her fingers quickly type in her name and password into the computer. On the screen she checks to see how many rooms are filled and ones that have been filled and need to be clean by housekeeping. A doctor comes over to the station, he picks up one of the clip boards. Then gives his report of the last few hours before he goes to his last patient of his shift. When he departs she goes over to medication chart to get meds ready for people that have been in the hospital for a few days and need there regular dose. She doubles checks to make sure there is no errors before she wheels the chart down to the first room.
Other nurses stop by to ask her questions and judgment on how they should proceed. She trust the other nurses to do there job probably but doesn't mind when they are unsure of what to do. She considers to be a team player and wants everyone to do there job well. The medications doesn't take long to do and she puts the med chart in the lock room behind the nurses station. A few of the other nurses come into the area and she talks to them about certain things she has seen that need to be done. "Now Levy, You have to make sure that we get that urine sample from Mr. James by 11 am this morning so it can go up to lab." "Yes Amber. I been trying to get him to drink more but the old man is stubborn." "Then offer him something else instead. It doesn't have to be water. Cranberry juice is good and it will help him with his UTI. "I understand." "Good. Now for you Natsu, I know you don't like Mrs. Woods very much but you must help her to the bathroom." "She touches me inappropriately and I have kindly told her to stop it." "Then you call me or a other female nurse to go in that room with you. Her dementia is worsting and she will be transfer back to the care home on Monday after Wendy looks her over to see how the hip is doing from the surgery." "I'll call for you when she rings then." "That is fine. Where is Lucy?" "I saw her in the room with that newest doctor Loke." Amber rolls her eyes. "Great, this is not going to be happening on my shift. Levy go find her and give her a warning and tell her if I catch her making out with him she will be written up." "Will do Amber." "Lets carry on shall we."
Amber sits on the chair and answers a call that is coming from a other station. "Hello floor 2 Nurse Fullbuster." "Amber, Sting here how is the lovely you doing today." "What do you want Sting?." "Can't a follow co-worker kindly phone up a beautiful nurse like yourself and ask how they are." "Depends on the nature of your call Doctor." "Can you possibly come up here to the 5th floor and see Jason and of course see me to." "What is the problem with Jason?" "He is asking for you and his treatment is not going so well." "I can come up right now." "Thanks that is a big help to us." She puts the phone down and gets up from her chair. She sees Lucy walking by with Loke. "Lucy!" "Yes Nurse Fullbuster." "I am heading up to the fifth floor for a bit and will be back. Page me if something happens and also get your arm off the doctor and do your rounds." Lucy removes herself from him with blush face. Amber eyes Loke and motions with her head for him to go. "You are the wrong floor Loke, this is hospital not a dating venue." He clears his throat. "I guess that is my cue to go." "I will talk to you later Loke." "Later Lucy." He gives her a salute and walks over to the elevator. Amber follows him into the same elevator and he holds the doors open for her. "What floor." "Fifth." He pushes the button for his floor and hers. "Nurse. I would appreciate that you will not stick your nose into my business." "Doctor you are new here and let me tell you something. You are here for the patients not putting a other girl on your notch. When you are dealing with my nurses and getting them distraction by you showing up it causes discord and they can't do their job. If you want to see them do so after hours."
The doors open and Amber steps out of the elevator. "Good day Doctor." "Good day Nurse." She makes her way over to Jason room. He was a small boy at the age of 7 years old and has brain cancer and unfortunately the tumour can't be removed. Sting was standing outside the boys door, he sees her coming. "Thanks for coming up." "No problem. What is he doing?" "He is refusing to eat and his parents think this could be the start of the end." She sighs. "What do you think?" "Hard to tell. We are trying different treatment right now and not eating could be side effect of the drug." "Has the tumour gotten bigger since the last Cat scan." "Yes, it has double in size." "The new treatment is to shrink it?" "We are trying to give the boy more time before he turns 8 in a few weeks. What ever drug we try to use will not save this boy life. The tumour is in part of the brain were we can't reach." Amber looks over the clipboard that Sting hands her. "I heard they are seeking a expert brain surgeon to come and see him." "Yeah some doctor from over seas. I guess he has some success in removing tumours from this area of the brain. His results are about 55%" "A very small chance." "For Bev and Jake, it's what they want better then nothing I guess." "I can understand that." Sting puts his hand her shoulder. "Sorry." She pats his hand. "It's alright. I am heading in now. Where are his mom and dad." "Having lunch. They ask me to get you, because you have way with him then the rest of us do not."
She walks into the room and closes the door behind her. The little boy was sitting on his bed looking out the window. "Jason?" He turns and sees her. "Nurse Amber!" He jumps off the bed and comes running to her." She kneels down to his level. He wraps his arms around her neck and giving her a hug. "Wow, you have strength in that hug." "I do?" "Yeah you almost knock me over." She gives him a big smile. "I have miss you." "I have miss you to Jason. I have been working in other areas of the hospital, Sorry I couldn't come visit." He looks down at his feet. "I like you better then the other nurses. They don't do fun things like you do." "I am here for a little bit what should we do?" He looks up at her and his eyes shine. "Can we play Mario cart." "The one game I can't win on." "Can we?" "Yeah we can, but afterwards you need to eat." "Do I have to. The food doesn't taste the same." "Try having a little, you would only get hungry later if you don't eat now." "I'll try Nurse Amber." "Good boy. Now lets play." "Yaay." He jumps up and down and runs to the door. Opens it up and goes running to the play room. "See you have worked your magic." "It's the best I can do for now. He says he doesn't like the food. I think the drug is missing with his taste buds." "We can try to modified the texture of his food." "It will be a good idea. I better go or he will start yelling for me." She starts walking down the hallway and Sting watches her go. "She is one cute nurse, but I think she is still hung up on her Ex husband." He turns and walks the other way.
The play room was alive with a lot of activity from the kids on this floor. It was the children ward and one of Amber's favourite departments to work in. "Whoa Whoa. I know it's a fun area kids, but remember there are kids like yourself that are trying to rest. Why don't we quiet the room down a little ok." "Yes Nurse Amber." "Nurse Amber over here." "Coming Jason." He had the t.v and game turn on. He hands her a controller and she sits down beside the little boy. "Who are you going to pick Jason. "Ummm I think Donkey Kong." "Ok, I'll go with baby Mario." They play for awhile. Amber would let him win each race. "See I can't never win when I play with you." "You need to get a Switch and practice at home." "Maybe one day." She puts the controller down on the floor. "Ok Jason time for lunch." "Can you stay while I eat." "We will see." She stands up and helps him up. She holds out her hand for him to take. "I think you will get mac and cheese today." "I hope I can eat it." "Me too." They walk back down the hallway to his room. The food chart was a few doors down. "Get into your bed, I'll get the tray." She walks over to kitchen worker. "Mira can I have Jason's tray." "You are working on this floor?" "No, I was ask to come." "His try is right here, I was ask to change the texture a little." "It's still mac and cheese right" "Yeah it is." "Thanks." Amber walks back into the room and puts the tray down on the tray table. "Here you go. Look, chocolate milk." She pulls the table over to him and he sits cross legged on his bed. "Dig in." He looks at the food. "It looks good." "One bite at time." He puts his fork into the macaroni and puts into his mouth. "Well?" "Not bad, but the taste is still not there." "Eat as much as you can."
Over the the speaker she was being page. "Nurse Amber Fullbuster please come down to floor 2." It repeats two more times. "I have to get back to work." "Awww will you come back?" "I will be working here soon, but I am covering for someone on a different floor?" He nods. "Until then try and eat." She gives him hug. "Will you come if I call you again." "If only I am working" She waves bye and heads out of the room. Jason has been in the hospital for at lest a year. He has had his up and downs. During his stay he has bonded with her. His parents has been thankful for her to get him to do things that he doesn't want to do. At times she wanted him to make the choice not his mom or dad. Amber makes her way to the elevator and heads on down.
Back at the nurse station Lucy was waiting for her to return. "Is everything good down here?" "We have a few new checks in." "Ok who." "A women who just had surgery for her appendix she is room 203, we have teenager with a head concussion. He was playing a football game he is in 211 and accident victim he is in a 208." "What sort of accident did he have?" "He severed out of the way of a dog jumping into traffic. His car crashed into a other car that was parked" "How seriously hurt is he?" Lucy gives her his chart. "3 broken ribs, a broken leg and a cut on his forehead probably a concussion as well." "Take your break Lucy and I will check these three out." "I think you should check out the accident guy first." "I guess I can start there." She grabs a pen and her stethoscope is still around her neck. She heads to room 208. Lucy never told her who was in the room and she didn't bother to read the name on the chart. "She is going to have surprise reunion." "What are you talking about Lucy." "Natsu you aren't going to believe this."
The room to 208 door was already open and Amber walks right in. She pulls back the curtain ready to greet the patient, only to see a tall raven that she was once married to laying on the bed. "Gray?" She looks down at the chart. Right at that top left corner it said Gray Fullbuster. He turns his head from looking out the window. "Amber." He looks her over it's been a few years since they last saw each other. He thought she could still take his breath away. "I'll go get a other nurse." She turns to leave. "Wait!" She turns her head. "Its fine." She walks back over to the bed. "I am here only to examine your cut on your forehead. You have had ex rays taken of your chest and leg." She looks down at the chart. "Yes I was told they will put my leg into a cast." "Correct we can have Natsu do that for you." "He is still working here?" "He is on today, I'll send him in." She puts some gloves on her hands and puts her clipboard on the nightstand table. "Can you turn your head towards me please." She lefts up the top portion of the bed in a more sitting potion for her to look at his forehead better. She touches his head with her fingers. "Not a deep cut, but you still need stitches. I clean this for you and the doctor will do the rest." He nods his head. She goes over to the cupboard in the room and grabs some gauze, saline and numbing cream. "This might hurt." "I can handle it." "I am sure you can." She cleans the wound and puts some cream on a gauze and taps it to his head. "I'll see what doctor can see you soon." She takes the gloves and puts it into the trash. "I can give you some pain meds to help with the discomfort you are feeling." "I was given something when I first came in." She looks at the chart again. "So they did. You can have something in a few more hours. I will phone your next of kin." "My brother?" "That is what it says here or I call Ur." "Lyon is fine." The clipboard gets picked up and she heads for the door. "Amber." "What is it?" "Are you coming back?" "I'll check on you later." "See you later then."
She quickly goes down the hallway and slams the clipboard down on the counter. "Amber what is wrong?" "The past Natsu." He gives her a look. "Care to explain." "You will find out. Go to room 208 and put his leg into a cast." "Did the guy in that room upset you." He now knew who was in there after Lucy told him and he was going to play dumb. "More or less." "I can give him a talking to." "Natsu go, you will understand when you see him." He gets up from the chair and goes down where she came from him. Then she replaces herself in that chair and puts her head into her hands. "How was the reunion?" Amber looks up and sees Lucy and Levy standing on the other side of the counter. "Could of warn me." "To have miss out on seeing this, no way." "That is your husband?" "Ex husband Levy." "She has been divorce for some time now." "How come?" Levy looks back at Amber for her to tell more. "Don't want to talk about it. We all have jobs that need to be done. I suggest we get to it. I have a call to make." Lucy pulls Levy away. "I want to know more Lucy. I will tell you in the staff room later." A headache was starting to form in her head. This was the last thing she needed to happen today. She picks up the receiver and starts dialing the number not knowing if it was still in use. The answering machine was about to come on when she heard a voice at the other end. "Hello?" "Hello Juiva, is Lyon home?" There was silence at first. "Amber?" "Yes it is. I need to speak to Lyon." "Juiva will go get him." She waits for a couple of minutes for him to get on the line. She hears their dogs Nash and Mint in the background barking. Nash is a husky and Mint was very small with a lot of fur and green eyes. "Get down Nash I have to get to the phone. Go lay down somewhere." Amber knew Lyon was on his way from listening to that. "Amber?" "Hello Lyon. I am not calling at a wrong time for you." "I was outside enjoying this heat wave with a glass of lemonade. What is up? Haven't heard from you in awhile, miss talking to you." "Me too. The reason for the call. I am working right now and Gray came in through the E.R. He was in car accident. Your listed as his next of kin." "Is he alright, I'll come right now." "He will live Lyon. Has a few broken ribs, a broken leg, a cut on forehead and bruising on the body." "What was the cause of the crash." "A dog darted out into the street and tried to hit him." "It will not take me long to get there." "Great, he is on the second floor I am at nurses station. His room is 208." "See you soon." "See ya."
Doctors, visitors and patients went by as she continue to work. Doctor Justine took on Gray's case while he is here. When he stop by to give her a update on Mr. James. Gray's file was past on to him. She tried to not think about the person in the said room. When Dr. Justine came back from looking him over. She had to hear the details of the examination. "For it to happen on the day I am working." "What was that?" "Sorry Freed. It's nothing." "He is going to be in pain later. I wrote down a prescription for pain medication." "I'll make sure he gets them if he asks." The pen she was using to write with was in her mouth. When things start to get to her she chews the ends of things.. "I see you haven't stop that habit." She turn to hear a voice and puts the pen down and clipboard. "Lyon!" She goes around the counter and gives him a hug. Freed carries on with is work and leaves to go see someone. "Is my brother behaving himself." "The other nurses have been dealing with him." Lyon looks at her. "Not you" "I think it's best. I'll show you to his room, it's this way." He follows her down the hallway. She knocks on his door. "Enter." "You have visitor." She allows Lyon to go pass her. "Brother, are you ok." "Lyon, I will be fine in a few days." "Your leg is in cast Gray." "At lest I will have time off work." "As the boss of the company you need to put someone else in charge for awhile." "You can do it." "I can only do it for a few days. Not all the time you are off." Amber didn't want to remain in the room and be around these two brothers. Memories will start to surface of the past of which they are to hard to look back on. "I will leave you two to visit, don't stay to long Lyon." "It will be a short visit, I'll come back again." "Have a good day then." When heading out of the room, Lyon stopped her. "Amber, I heard about Angel." "Thanks." "How are you doing?" "I am coping." She could feel Gray eyes on her. She didn't want to talk about her sister death. "I got go now, there pressing matters that need to be done. bye."
Lyon watches her leave. "She ran out of here in a hurry." "What about Angel, Lyon." His brother turns to him. "She died not to long ago." "I didn't know. How?" "She had brain bleed." "One moment she was walking around talking and the next she collapsed on the floor. Supposedly Amber was there when it happen." "Why didn't you tell me?" "Did you really wanted to know Gray?" "She is my sister in law." "The word you are looking for is WAS your sister in law. You left that life behind you years ago." "What else do you know that I clearly do not. I doubt she will tell me." "Can't really blame her, after going through what you two lost and gave up." Gray turns his head away to look back at the window. "You had a great life with Amber and your son. Then you simply walked away and got divorced." "Lyon enough." He walks to over to the bed, grabs the nearby chair and in sits down. "As you can see she is still working here, living in the house." "What of seeing anyone?" "Not that I know of." He nods his head. "Why do you ask?" "Curious is all." "Hmmm well, I should go. I have to pick something up for supper." "Alright, thanks for stopping by." "Gray, I am glad to have you safe." "If that dog didn't step out when it did. I might not be here now." "At lest it was a dog and not semi truck or going down a embankment." "Scary to think of the worse possible outcome." "You are in good hands here brother with all these nurses and doctors." "I remember." Lyon pats his cast. "Ouch." "Behave during your stay." Gray smirks. "I'll be the perfect patient they ever had." "Ha, we will see about that." "You don't have faith in me big brother." " I feel bad for her to be dealing with your bed side manner." "At lest she knows about that side of me." Lyon gets up from the chair. "Go easy on her." "I cross my boy scouts heart." He walks to the door. "I'll call your secretary for you." "That will be helpful. Later." He waves bye and leaves.
He lays his head back on the pillow. "All these years with out seeing you and now here you are in front of me." He reaches for his wallet on the nightstand table and takes out a picture. It's a picture of the three of them at Disney land. The last good time they had together before Luke had to have a other round of treatment, then stay in the hospital until his passing. He kisses the picture. "My sweet son. How I miss you. I am here in the same hospital right now. Your mom is working and not to sure if she is happy to see me." He puts the photo back into his wallet. "Luke, I must admit, I have miss her too."
The rest of her shift keeps her fairly busy until the call bell from 208 was going off. She looks to see she is the only one that can answer it. "Why me?" She pushes the button for the room by the computer. "Yes Mr Fullbuster?" "Going back to calling me that." "What do you need?" "Having pain." "Be right in." She goes to the med chart and takes out some pain meds that the doctor he had seen prescribed for him. With a cup of water in her hand and the pills she goes down the hallway. With out any luck on her side no other nurse was near her for to pawn of the job to them. She knocks on the door. "Come in." "Here you go. It's stronger then regular pain relief." He holds out hand for the pills and pops them into his mouth. He takes the water from her other hand and takes a drink from it. "If that is all, I have to get back to work." She turns to leave and he grabs a hold of her hand. "Stay for a bit." "Why?" "We haven't see in each other in a long time." She looks at him and removes her hand from his hold. "My shift is almost over. I have to give report for who is coming on." "Come back afterwards your done." "Gray, I am going right home." "When is your next shift?" "Don't need to tell you." She begins to walk away and she hears rustling of the bed sheets. She turns to see him trying to get out of bed. "What are you doing? Lay back down." "If you will not tell me your next shift. I'll find out on my own." "Bloody hell, Gray." "Tell me." "Tomorrow night is my grave yard shift before..." "Your days off?" "Yes." "Haven't change your routine?" "Only slightly." "Nurse Fullbuster." Levy was standing in the doorway. "Doctor Justine will like to see you, before you go." She motions with her finger to where he is. "Tell him on my way." Amber turns back around. "You keep my last name" "Stay in bed." She didn't want to answer him. So she ignores the question and left the room. "Until tomorrow. Mrs Fullbuster."
With the next shift getting the report of the day. Amber was at her locker getting her things together. She removes her purse and jacket from the hook inside the square metal box. On a smaller hook she takes out a necklace and puts it around her neck. Unable to wear it on her shifts encase a patient gets aggressive and grabs for it. Her fingers start to play with the two rings on the chain. It was her wedding band and engagement ring. She didn't have the heart to put it into her jewellery box after the divorce. They have had a home around her neck instead of being on the left hand. No body has question her about to why she had them on her. Then again it wasn't anyone business to know. Amber shut the locker and put the combination lock back on. In her hand she starts phoning the day care with her cell. "Have to tell them I am going to be late picking up Emie." She has been raising her niece since Angel passing. Right now she was in the process of adopting her legally. Everyone was shocked to know, but they have been supportive. No one knew that Angel gave birth, and the father sign his right away when she was born. "Hello?" "Hi Lisanna." "Amber are you on your way?" "Yes, I just got off shift now." "She will be ready for you." "Thanks, I hope she was good." "She is a doll no complaints of having a 2 month old." "Next month I will be taking maturity leave." "So you were able to apply for it." "I check my union contract and have it all filed and shorted out." "Great! We both will see you in a bit." "Heading to my car." Amber puts her cell back into the purse. "Hope she will sleep well tonight or tomorrow it's going to be a long shift. She pulls out of her parking spot and goes to pick up Emie. "It might end up being a long one with him there." With a hand on the steering wheel and the other one goes to her necklace. Her thoughts start to think back to the past. "Luke, I saw your dad today. I am not going to agree to this, but I have missed him."
