Flat Line? And another Goren in the Hospital

The Resident assigned to Bobby's case and several nurse came running down the hall to enter Bobby's room. Liz is standing guard and Ross approaches with the arrangements for departure to New York.

"What's all the excitement?"

The Doctor pushes by Liz entering Bobby's room only to find an empty bed. Ross follows behind and looks for Goren and Eames.

"Liz?"

"Alex asked me to leave them alone to talk … I thought I'd hear yelling … but nothing."

"Doctor … what's the excitement about? The Doctor is examining the equipment.

"Our monitors showed that he flat lined."

Ross has just about had it with this hospital. If Goren didn't sign himself out, Ross was gonna knock him out and kidnap him and take him back to New York.

"Ah Doctor … your patient disconnected the EKG over twenty minutes ago. So, if he truly flat lined, I would say that you're a little late!"

The Resident Doctor hung his head … "We have a lot of patients today … we knew by the monitor that it was disconnected."

"Yeah, fine cover your ass … you'll be hearing from the City of New York's Attorney. Now I suggest you get his discharge papers in order … I'm taking him home."

"Yes Sir."

The Doctor and his nurses left and with the quiet that over took the room, Liz and Ross heard what was going on in the bathroom.

My sister sure is giving it to him alright!

"Maybe we should wait out in the hall Liz?"

"No way."

Liz goes over to the bathroom door … she is an Eames. She starts banging on it … really banging on it.

"Get your clothes on and get out here. What the hell are you, two horny teenagers for Christ sakes?"

Ross, for the second time in Bobby's room, winces.

Bobby comes out first … huge smile, hands up in self defense.

"Alex will be out in a minute … the kids are using her bladder as a trampoline."

"And you're using my sister like a tramp!"

"Liz! That's my wife you're talking about … geez. We're just happy to see each other … do you mind?"

"Bobby, we thought you were dead!"

Ross is quietly slipping out of the room, he's finding it funny that Goren has a family that argues with him but also a little to embarrassing to stay and watch … although being a fly on the wall of Robert Goren's life is fun.

"Liz, why would I be dead … I passed out … that's all! Christ, you Eames women are all alike."

"I'm gonna smash your face in!"

Bobby walks right up to Liz at his full height and sticks his chin out.

He growls … "Try it!"

"Alex comes out of the bathroom and does the two finger in the mouth whistle.

"Cool it you two! What on earth is going on out here? The babies are flipping and turning at the sounds of your voices."

"He sucks!" Liz points at Bobby

"She sucks too!" Bobby points at Liz

"What is this …"

Bobby starts to get really dizzy and looks for a chair to sit down in … it's Liz that grabs the chair and helps him.

"Thanks Liz … you know I didn't really mean that … right?"

"Yeah Bobby, I don't think you suck either."

"Bobby, should I call for a Doctor?"

"No honey, I think I just need to sit here for a minute. I want to get back to New York."

"But what if it's your …

"Heart?"

"Yes Bobby … what if … you tore that thing off of yourself. How do we know?"

"Bobby if it's your heart and you go and die on my sister and leave her to raise these three little ones alone I swear I'm gonna …"

"What Liz … smash me in the face?"

"He's a jerk Alex … why did you marry him?"

"You two should take your act on the roaaaaaaaaaaaaaad"

"Alex?"

"OOooHHH"

"HONEY!?"

"HEHEHOOHOOHEHEHOOHOO"

"Oh my GOD! Bobby! She's going into labor!"

The next sound heard was a huge THUD … Bobby passed out … again. Liz and Alex, who was in between contractions, just shook their head, this wasn't a Syncoptic episode, it was a father to be episode.

Liz ran out to find the Captain so he could locate a Labor and delivery Doctor so she could stay with Alex. The Captain went into panic mode … not this hospital.

Liz called Doctor Hunter's office to have Alex's records faxed to the hospital … Dr. Hunter wanted to speak with the Doctor that would handle her case … the Captain hadn't found anyone yet … Dr. Hunter would make some phone calls and handle it on his end. Meanwhile, Bobby was trying to pick himself off of the floor.

"The babies Alex … are they cooked enough?"

"Cooked? OOooHHh … YES! DAMN YOU ROBERT GOREN! OOOHHH!"

Dr. Hunter did as promised and fortunately Lock Haven had one of the best Neo Natal units in the area … she was in good hands.

She was transferred up to the fourth floor labor and delivery unit with Bobby right by her side. Ross and Liz went to the family waiting room and started making phone calls. Ross phoned Bishop with Bobby's theory on the case and assigned Wheeler to help her out with it … Goren was officially on Paternity leave.

Alex was having a difficult time, natural birth was out of the question so they had to prepare her for a cesarean section … she was scared … Bobby too but he didn't let her see. Everything went very smoothly … Bobby watched everything, without fainting, and was in awe of his beautiful wife. One baby after another … all three so tiny but so perfect … five weeks premature. Haley Goren first born 4lbs 2oz. Second born Tracy Goren 4lbs 12oz. Finally John Goren 3lbs 6oz. the runt of the litter. All healthy with very healthy lungs.

The nurse laid Haley and Tracy down with Alex and handed Bobby little John Goren … he fit in the palms of Bobby's hands. Tears fell from Bobby's eyes, Alex was staring at her husband and son.

"Hey John, I'm your Daddy." He was so overwhelmed with emotion he couldn't say another word. He placed a feather light kiss on John's head and then leaned over to kiss each of his daughters and then finally Alex.

"Thank you Alex, our babies are as beautiful as their Mommy. I love you so much."

"I didn't do this alone … I love you too Bobby."

The babies were taken to the special Neo Natal Unit. They were premature and tiny … it was all a precaution, the babies scored high on their apgars and their lungs appeared to be well developed. Little John was the one to keep an eye on and they were … he was fine.

John and Erin Eames arranged to fly down the next day and Liz made hotel arrangements. Ross would stay one more day to see the babies and his detectives and then back to work. He and Liz went baby shopping while the Goren's all rested. They bought everything from soup to nuts or should I say diapers to binkies. Ross bought books for Goren to read to his babies and Liz bought cute dresses for the girls. Ross bought John a tiny baseball mitt and Liz bought the girls ballet slippers. The babies were already spoiled and they were only hours "old."

Bobby stayed close to Alex … the hospital was trying to make up for mistakes made with Bobby so, Alex was getting the royal treatment. They were making her room comfortable for Bobby and keeping two nurses on call exclusively for the Goren family … including Bobby. What they got on his EKG showed a slight abnormality so they were keeping a cautious eye on him. They would give him a report of their findings at a more opportune time. He suspected something was up because they were taking his blood pressure, too often. He was too deliriously happy to care too much about it.

Tomorrow was going to be a big day … the Goren's would sleep … until the nurse started bringing the babies to Alex one by one for their feedings. Haley would be the difficult one … she was the longest of the three, had brown curly hair and dark eyes … not brown yet … but …
