In the emergency area, Rebecca saw Beth walking into an empty examination room with a syringe in her hand. Rebecca was curious and as she walked into the room behind Beth, she saw Beth giving herself an injection.
Beth looked at Rebecca as Rebecca asked, "Is that an insulin shot?"
Rebecca heard Beth's garroting voice as Beth said, "It's for my allergy. I'm extremely allergic to strawberries and a friend of mine brought me a strawberry shake not knowing that I was allergic to it. I took a drink of it, not knowing what kind of drink it was."
Rebecca saw the bottle Beth used to fill the syringed in Beth's hand and asked, "Can I see what you used?"
"Of course," said Beth as she held out the bottle for Rebecca to take.
Rebecca saw what medicine Beth took and said, "What you took will make you drowsy."
"It does a little, but I respond the best to that," said Beth.
"Well, I don't need an intern falling asleep on her feet," said Rebecca as she looked at her watch. "Since you have been here for about ten hours, go ahead and clock out and go home."
"I don't think it's necessary for me to go home, Dr. Eisen," said Beth.
Rebecca held up the empty bottle and said, "Dr. O'Brian, if something happens to a patient in your care while being on this, you can end up losing your internship. I watched you work and you're good. So I'm sending you home to protect you. Just be back in the morning at six."
"Yes, Dr. Eisen," said Beth. She gestured towards the door. "Well, I'm going to get out of these scrubs."
"Go ahead," said Rebecca. "Oh and Dr. O'Brian, a doctor… especially an intern, really shouldn't be treating him or herself. Next time you need to be treated, I want you see me or one of the residents."
"Yes, Dr. Eisen," said Beth. She then walked past Rebecca and stepped out into the hall. Rebecca followed her out.
Megan saw Beth walking down the hall and as she stepped up to Beth she said, "Beth, I talk to Spence when I saw you abruptly leaving him. He told me what happen and he wanted me to check on you. He's worried that you blame him for what happen."
"I'm blaming myself," said Beth. "When I told him to surprise me on the kind of food to bring me, I should have mentioned that I had a food allergy."
"Well, he's in the waiting room," said Megan.
"I'll go out and talk to him," said Beth.
Before Beth was able to walk away, Megan said, "You know, you failed to tell me how good looking Spence was."
Beth just smiled and walked away.
The crowd in the waiting room took up only half the seats. Spence was sitting in a chair that faced the door that led into the emergency room.
When Spence saw Beth coming through the door, he stood up and walked towards Beth. As Beth and Spence stepped up to each other, Spence said, "Beth, I am very sorry."
"You don't have anything to be sorry for," said Beth. "Because of what I took for my allergy Dr. Eisen is sending me home, so I'll be able to finish our dinner date. Did you leave the food in the cafeteria?"
"The food was cold and you wanted to eat it?" asked Spence.
"I'm use to eating cold food," said Beth. "So what did you do with it?"
"I didn't think that you would want it so I toss it in the trashcan," said Spence.
"I would have eaten it, so you shouldn't have done that," said Beth.
"Okay, I know now not to do that," said Spence. "On the bright side, we can go to a real restaurant."
Beth grinned and said, "Just give me a few minutes to change out of these scrubs and we can go."
"I'll wait here," said Spence.
Beth nodded and walked away. Spence went back to a seat in the waiting room and sat down.
Minutes later, in the locker room, Beth was in her street clothes and was putting her purse over her shoulder. Her coat was left unbuttoned.
As Beth was shutting, Alex had walked in. When Beth looked at Alex, Alex asked, "Did you hear about Dr. Connelly?"
Beth looked at Alex in a curious manner and asked, "What about him?"
"After intensive testing, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease," said Alex. "I think he's now planning to take a medical retirement."
"Well that explains why his hand was trembling in surgery," said Beth. "Well, I'll see you tomorrow."
"You're leaving?" asked Alex.
"I treated myself for my allergy and the medicine I injected myself with makes people drowsy," said Beth. "Dr. Eisen found out what I took and is now sending me home."
"Was your allergy the reason why you left the cafeteria in a rush?" asked Alex.
"Yeah, it was," said Beth. "Spence; the guy you saw me with brought me a strawberry shake. I'm highly allergic to strawberries and I didn't know it was a strawberry shake when I took a drink."
"Do you want to know what Carlos thought?" asked Alex.
"Not really," said Beth. "Well, I better get going."
"Bye," said Alex.
"Bye," said Beth. Beth then turned and walked out.
Spence saw Beth returning and walked up to her. As they stepped up to each other, Spence asked, "So where do you want to go to eat."
"Any objections if we just rent a few movies; get something from a drive-thru; go back to my place and eat while we watch our movies."
"No objection at all," said Spence.
"I would like to drive my car home and park it and take yours," said Beth.
"That's fine too," said Spence.
"Then let's go," said Beth.
Spence gestured for her to go and said, "Ladies first." Beth just grinned and shook her head. She then walked towards the exit. Spence walked beside her. "For future reference, are there any other foods you're allergic to?"
Beth grinned at Spence and said, "As far as I know, it's just strawberries. Of course there are types of berries that I never tried before; blackberries are one I never tried."
Spence followed Beth home and just after Beth parked her car, she got into Spence's car.
As the minutes slowly past Beth and Spence went to the movie rental and rented four movies. After renting the movies they bought tacos, burritos and sodas from a drive-thru restaurant.
By the time Spence was parking his car in front of Beth apartment complex with the food and movies, Beth was slightly drowsy from the shot she took.
Just after Spence shut off the engine, he looked at Beth and saw Beth yawning. Just as Beth was opening her door, Spence asked, "You're not going to fall asleep on me during the movies, are you?"
"I'm going to try not to, but that medicine does have me sleepy," said Beth. "So please forgive me if I do fall asleep on you."
"Well, you can carry the movies in and I'll take the food," said Spence.
Beth grinned; picked up the movies and as she was dropping them in her purse she said, "You're just scared that I'll drop the food."
Before Spence was able to respond Beth had stepped out and was shutting the door.
Spence just grinned as he grabbed the bags of food. He was a few steps behind Beth as Beth was opening the door to the complex.
When Beth suddenly became motionless in a trance like state while holding the door opened, Spence stepped up to her and asked, "Beth, what's wrong? Beth! Oh god, what's going on?" Spence was about to put the food down when Beth came out the vision and looked at Spence. Spence saw her moving. "Beth, what just happened?"
Beth whispered, "I had a vision."
"You had a…" Spence was only able to get out.
Beth quickly said in a manner to where Spence was able to hear, "Don't repeat me; not above a whisper anyway."
Spence looked at Beth in a curious manner and asked, "What's going on?"
"Savannah Hill is in the building," said Beth. "Some guy I never seen before brought her in."
Spence whispered, "Could he be a Cylon?"
"I don't think so," said Beth. "In my vision, the guy who was with Savannah was carrying a large open box. There was a name plate in the box that read Travis Silverman."
"Beth, if Savannah is in the building, perhaps it would be safer if we went to my place," said Spence.
"Nothing's going to happen," said Beth.
"How can you be so sure?" asked Spence.
Beth whispered, "As long as an individual is not a threat to Savannah, there is no way that she's going to jeopardize the grand scheme of the Cylon plans by doing something to that individual."
"Actually you are a threat to her," whispered Spence.
"She doesn't know that and as long as you don't announce to the people in the building that I get visions it will stay that way," Beth whispered.
Spence looked at Beth in a curious manner and said, "I never announced it."
"Only because I interrupted you from repeating me," said Beth.
"Oh, yeah; I was about to say it, wasn't I," asked Spence. Beth just smiled and nodded. "Well, I'm sorry."
"You're fine. Just be careful in the future," said Beth as she leaned towards Spence to give him a kiss. Spence knew what Beth was doing and leaned in for the kiss. The kiss lasted several seconds. Beth then grinned and said, "Well, we better get out of the building's doorway."
"Lead the way," said Spence. Beth just turned and continued towards the stairs in the building.
Beth's apartment was on the third floor and next door to Kelly and her son Justin's apartment. In the hallway just outside Kelly's apartment, Justin and his cousin Ethan were playing with hot wheel cars. Both boys were seven-year-old and Ethan talked with a stammer.
Beth led Spence to the third floor. When Justin saw them, he stepped up to them and said, "Hi, Beth."
As Beth watched Ethan walking up behind Justin, she said, "Hi, Justin. Who's your friend?"
"His name is Ethan," said Justin. "He's my cousin. Who's your friend?"
"His name is Spence," said Beth.
"Hi, Spence," said Justin.
"Hi," said Spence.
"Well, Spence and I will let you two play," said Beth. "We have food that's getting cold."
"I want to ask you something though," said Justin.
"Okay, shoot," said Beth.
"How serious is a brain tumor?" asked Justin.
Beth looked at Justin in a curious manner as she said in a skeptical manner, "It can be serious."
"Can someone die from it?" asked Justin.
"Justin, why are you asking me that?" asked Beth.
"You're a doctor and you should know," said Justin.
Beth slightly grinned and asked, "But why do you want to learn about brain tumors?"
"I overheard my mom talking on the phone about my Aunt Carrie getting a second opinion about starting treatments for having a brain tumor," said Justin. "Can someone die from it?"
Beth took out her keys from her purse and handed them to Spence. She then said as she pointed towards her apartment door, "My apartment's right there. Go and make yourself comfortable while Justin, Ethan and I go and have a talk with Justin's mom."
"I was curious to know how you were going to handle that question," said Spence.
"Delicately," said Beth. Spence just grinned. "Oh and it's okay if you start eating without me." Spence nodded and walked towards Beth's apartment. "Ethan, is Carrie your mother?" Ethan just nodded. Beth gestured for them to walk. "Well, let's go and talk to your aunt."
Justin, Ethan and Beth walked into Justin's apartment. Kelly wasn't in the living room when they stepped in. Justin then yelled out, "Mom, Beth is here." Beth quickly covered her ears. "She wants to talk to you."
"That was louder than necessary," said Beth as she uncovered her ears.
"Oh, sorry," said Justin as Kelly, stepped out from her bedroom.
Kelly looked at Beth and asked, "What's going on, Beth."
"I thought you should know that Justin is asking me as to how fatal brain tumor is," said Beth.
"Oh god," said Kelly. "Justin; Ethan, did either of you heard me talking on the phone earlier."
Ethan only nodded as Justin said, "We both did." Beth realized that Ethan wasn't talking and stared at him in a curious manner.
"How did you answer them, Beth?" asked Kelly.
"Before I got curious to why they were asking, I did tell them that brain tumor could be serious, and that was it," said Beth.
"Me and Ethan is scared that Aunt Carrie will die," said Justin.
"Boys, as Beth told you, brain tumor is serious," Kelly began. "Ethan, in your mom's case, your mom is just talking to an expert on how to remove her tumor. Your mom will be fine though."
Justin looked at Beth and asked, "Is that true?"
"Sweetie, I'm just a student doctor and all I know of brain tumors are what I read in my medical books," said Beth. "So I can't really answer that question. Only a doctor who specialized in brain tumors can."
"Wha-wha-what do-oo you-our bo-bo-books say?" asked Ethan.
Beth gave Ethan a slight grin and said, "My books say that people can live a long and healthy life after a tumor is successfully removed. I can't tell you anymore than that."
"Can someone die from a brain tumor though?" asked Justin.
"Justin, I can cut my arm right now and if I live in a filthy place and never took a bath and I never treated my arm properly, the cut on my arm could get infected," Beth began. Kelly watched in a manner as if she wasn't sure about what Beth was saying. "If I didn't properly treat the infection in my arm then the infection would spread into other parts of my body. Eventually I would get so sick from all of the infection in my body that I would die. Now a simple cut that with proper treatment would have healed in a few days, but instead I ignored the proper treatment and it killed me. Now a tumor is more serious than a cut on an arm. For one reason it's more serious is because a person can't see a tumor, but what I said about the cut is true with a tumor. If a tumor is found early enough and it is properly treated then a person doesn't have to die from it. Now that is it. I can't say anymore."
"What you did say might've been even too much," said Kelly. "Boys, go back in the hallway and play with your cars. I want to talk to Beth."
"Come on, Ethan," said Justin as he walked towards the door.
Beth watched Justin and Ethan as they walked out the door. When the door was shut, Kelly said, "Beth, those two are little kids. You lie to little kids. You tell them that Carrie will be okay."
"I don't agree with lying to kid or anyone else in that manner, Kelly," said Beth.
"Well, you're going to worry both of them to death over Carrie's tumor," said Kelly.
"I want to paint a scenario for you," said Beth. Kelly just looked at Beth in a skeptical manner. "In this scenario, you spend an unknown number of days talking and convincing Justin and Ethan that Carrie won't die. You even promised them that it won't happen. You had even told them that God won't let it happen. After all that was said, Carrie doesn't survive her tumor. Minutes after Carrie's death you have to explain to them why Carrie had died. You couldn't keep your promise so the value of your promise drastically falls to almost being worthless. Since you told them that God wouldn't let it happen their faith in God has also fallen. She was Ethan's mom, so he will be affected the worse and I can guarantee you that you will instantly become the public enemy number-one in his eye."
"Beth, I really do understand your point, but I don't want Justin and Ethan worrying about Carrie," said Kelly.
"Neither do I, but you may not have a choice," said Beth. "Now I will try to evade answering Justin's and Ethan's questions as much as possible, but I will not lie or make false promises to either of them."
"Fine; just please evade their questions," said Kelly.
Beth gestured towards the door and said, "Well, I actually have someone at my place and food that is getting cold."
"I was putting laundry up, so I need to get back to that anyway," said Kelly.
"Bye," said Beth.
As Beth was turning towards the door to leave, Kelly said, "Bye."
When Julian saw Beth leaving his apartment, he stepped up and asked, "Is Mom mad at you?" Ethan stepped up behind Justin.
"She's not mad." Kelly opened the door as Beth was saying, "Your mom just wants you and Ethan to keep positive thoughts in your heads and to let you in on a secret, positive thoughts can work better than any medical treatment. Don't tell anyone that though, because if the secret gets out, no one will get sick and I'll be out of a job."
Justin grinned and said, "You making that up."
Beth grinned and said, "I'm telling the truth when I say that positive thoughts can help make a sick person better. So the best thing that you can do for your aunt… Ethan's mom is to show her that you believe that she can get better." Beth stared at Ethan. "Okay, Ethan?'
Ethan smiled and said, "O-k-kay."
"Beth." When Beth looked at Kelly, Kelly continued to say, "Thanks for telling them that."
Beth smiled and said, "You're welcome. Well, everyone…" Beth ended what she was saying when she saw Number-Six and Travis leaving an apartment down the hall.
"Is there anything wrong, Beth," asked Kelly.
Number-Six spotted Beth as Beth was saying, "Nothing's wrong. Last night I treated the woman who is coming this way." Everyone turned to look.
As Number-Six and Travis stepped up to them, Number-Six asked, "Dr. O'Brian, do you live in this apartment complex?"
"I do," said Beth. She pointed to her door. "My apartment is right there. What about you? Are you visiting someone?"
"This is Travis," Number-Six said as she gestured towards him. Beth and Travis waved to each other. "He was looking for a roommate to share the rent and he asked me. So we are going to see a lot of each other."
"Cool," said Beth. Savannah looked at Beth in a confused manner as Beth gestured towards the others. "Savannah, this is Kelly, Kelly's son Justin and Kelly's nephew Ethan. Everyone, this is Savannah."
Ethan just waved as Kelly and Justin said, "Hi, Savannah."
"Well, I'm not trying to be rude, but I actually have food that's getting cold," said Beth. "Bye everyone."
Beth saw that everyone, except for Ethan said, "Bye."
Beth rubbed Ethan's back and said, "Bye, Ethan. I'll see you around."
Ethan smiled and said, "I-I'll sssee you a-a-around."
Number-Six looked at Ethan in a curious manner as Beth was walking into her apartment.
In Beth's apartment, Spence was sitting on the couch watching TV. He had the food out on the coffee table in front of him and was eating his food in a leisurely manner.
When Beth walked in, Spence asked as Beth was closing the door, "So how did things go?"
"Things went okay," said Beth as she took off her coat. After hanging her coat on a hook near the front door, she got the movies out of her purse and placed her purse on the floor on the side of the coffee table. "Savannah moved in down the hall from my door." She then held up the movies. "So which movie do you want to watch?"
Spence looked at Beth in a confused manner and asked, "Savannah is living down the hall from you and that doesn't bother you?"
"I distinctly remember having and ending the discussion of Savannah being here at the entryway to the building," said Beth.
"That discussion was about her being in the building and not about her living in the building," said Spence.
"Well, my response is the same," said Beth.
Spence stood up and as he stepped up to Beth he whispered, "I'm just worried about you living in the same building with Savannah."
"I know, but if I start acting differently around Savannah then sooner or later she's going to figure out that something is up," said Beth. "I think I would actually be safer if I waved a red flag in front of a bull than to tip Savannah off that I know that she's a Cylon."
"Do you own a gun?" asked Spence.
Beth looked at Spence in a curious manner and said, "No."
"Do you have anything against guns?" asked Spence. Beth continued to look at Spence in a curious manner and shook her head. "If I process the paper work and get you one, would you take it?"
Beth grinned and said, "I really don't think that you want me owning a gun."
"Well, I think you need something for protection," said Spence.
"I have a baseball bat that I keep in my bedroom closet," said Beth.
"That bat won't do you any good," said Spence.
Beth said in a joking manner, "I have a really mean swing, so you should see me use it before saying that."
"I'm worried about your safety and you're making jokes," said Spence.
"Spence, it's sweet that you're worried about me, but the only thing that I'm worried about is you developing ulcers for worrying needlessly," said Beth.
"For my peace of mind, Beth, I would like that you have a way to protect yourself when you're alone," said Spence.
"I originally thought of this conversation as being amusing, but now I'm beginning to feel insulted by it," said Beth.
"How am I insulting you?" asked Spence.
"You are making out as if I'm a helpless woman, who needs protecting," said Beth. "And if you ask Brandon, he can tell you that I can handle myself."
"I'm not saying that you're helpless," said Spence. "I would tell any of my friends to get something to protect him or herself if any of them were in the same situation that you are in now. So I'm not saying that you're helpless."
Beth slightly grinned and said, "Okay."
"Will you please think about getting something to protect yourself?" asked Spence.
"Well, I don't want a gun," said Beth.
"Would you take a gun if it was a taser gun?" asked Spence.
Beth hesitated for a second. She then sighed and said, "Fine. Where can I get a taser gun?"
Spence grinned and said, "I'll get you one."
Beth politely grinned and nodded. Spence then gave Beth a passionate kiss. When the kiss ended several seconds later, Beth stared at Spence for a second in a delightful manner. She then broke the stare and picked out one of the movies. As she held it up she asked, "Any objections to watch this movie first?"
"No objections," said Spence.
As Beth stepped up to the TV and DVD player, Spence retook his seat. After Beth put the movie in she sat down beside Spence and took a bite of her burrito.
The trailers for other movies began to play and when Beth swallowed the bite that she took she asked, "Do want to see these previews?"
"We can skip to the movie," said Spence.
Beth picked up the remote and started the movie.
Beth ate during the first ten minutes of the movie. When she was done eating she gathered up the trash that was left and threw it in the trashcan. When she sat down again she cuddled with him with her feet on the couch.
