Ray had invited Linda over for dinner; they were having a good time talking about work and life in general. He even told Linda exactly what happened to him that fateful night. This was the first time he has actually talked about it to someone other then Neela. He told Linda things that he would have never told Neela about his true feelings, after a few drinks.

"Ray, what you told me is terrible. How come you are still with Neela after all that?"

"Don't get me wrong it was not entirely Neela's fault, I love her but it as hard to get over it at first. But, she has dedicated her life to helping me and caring for me, and for Jasmine. She is a wonderful mother."

Linda lends in closer to Ray.

"So how is she as a wife?"

"She is great too. It is just lately…" Ray trailed off

"Does she still satisfy you?"

"Well, she did we haven't been together like that in about 3 months."

"That is definitely too long Ray you need someone who can satisfy you entirely, mind, body, and soul."

"Linda what are you talking about?"

"I think you need to explore other options."

"Other options like what?"

"Well Like this."

With that Linda gave Ray a passionate kiss.

About 12:30 am the house phone rings and Linda gets up to answer it. It was Neela.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Oh hi Neela this is Linda."

"Dr Linda Baker?"

"Yes it is."

"What are you doing at my house at this time of night? Where is Ray?"

"Oh he is well sleeping"

Oh boy I better tell Ray his loving wife called, he seems peaceful, let him sleep I'll tell him in the morning. As she kisses him in the forehead, and leaves the house.

It was 4: am and Ray's phone was ringing and ringing off the hook. Ray woke up with a hangover. He remembers little about the night before; he gets up and reaches for the phone.

"Hello."

"RAY, this is Abby."
"Abby, what time is it?"

"RAY, it is 4: am."

"4: am what you are doing calling me at this time?"

"RAY, there was an accident."

Ray jumped up from his sleep, his hangover was instantly gone.

"Abby, accident what happened?" he asked with fear in his voice.

"Is it Jasmine, what happened to Jasmine?"

"Ray, Jasmine is fine it's Neela she was in an accident."

"ABBY, what happened to Neela?"

"She was hit by a car tonight." Abby said with fright.

All Ray could do was recall what had happened to him 6 years ago.

"Oh God No, Abby where is she, How is she?"

"She is here in County, and she is not doing to good. You need to come down here now Ray."

"I'm on the way. Abby please don't let anything happen to her Please!!!"

"We are trying Ray. Just Hurry."

Ray jumped out of the bed and called the airport to find the earliest flight to Chicago he could get. There was a flight leaving in 1 hour. He ran around the house gathered a few quick things, got dress and left in a panic he made it to the flight with 15 minutes to spare.

While on the flight he called the hospital to tell them about Neela, his director understood and wished him luck.

Ray had reached Chicago at 7: am, He hailed a cab and rushed over to county. His legs were killing him. By the time he reached county he was limping. He went threw the ER and was greeted by a saddened faced Frank.

"Barnett."

"Frank where is she?"

"In trauma 2 they have been working on her for a couple of hours now, they are trying to keep her stable."

"Ray rushed passed the admit desk to trauma 2. He pushed open the door and found Pratt and Gates giving Neela CPR. He was horrified to see his wife laying there on the trauma table fighting for her life.

"She's crashing" said Gates

"Increase the epi."Said Pratt "Bag her."

Ray forgot for a moment he was a doctor and asked Pratt what he was doing.

"We are trying to keep her stable so she can go to surgery."

"Okay, her vitals are up. Okay let's take her upstairs.

All Ray envisioned his head was their last argument

Flashback

"You are such a bitter prick Ray I don't know what happened to the man I fell in love with and married but, you are not him. You know I was not sure about going on this trip but now I am quite sure of it. You need to be alone for a while. Because I can not stand to be here with you anymore. I hope when I return My Ray comes back, because if he doesn't I am not going to stick around with this miserable bastard anymore!"

"So now you are threatening me?"

"No Ray it is not a threat it is a Promise!!!"

End of Flashback

Abby, came into the room and saw Ray just holding on his wife's hand.

"Ray, they are taking her up to surgery now."

"Abby, I can't lose her. I need her."

"I know Ray"

All Abby could do was watch Ray cry for his wife.

After the surgery, the surgeon came and spoke to Ray and Abby.

"She is stable for now she is a fighter. But, she would have to stay in the ICU for a while and we have to wait for her to wake up. I will page Dr. Coburn to check on her as well."

Ray looked puzzled.

"Thank You Dr. Albright." Said Abby

Ray looked at Abby.

"Abby, why are they calling isn't she in obstetrics?"
"Ray, Neela was going to tell you when she came home but…"

"What, Abby what is it?" Ray said in a low tone

"She's Pregnant."

Ray sat back on the chair and just started to cry.
