CHAPTER SIX- WHITE STICK BOOM

Colette had been tending to a teenage patient who had turned out to be pregnant and did not know that she was. Nor has she ever thought about it before. As she got the young teen calmed down from crying it donned on her that she too was late. Like late…..late. When the young girl assured her she could go Colette grabbed a few pregnancy tests and headed to the bathroom in the office after grabbing a bottle of water. Now she was sitting at her desk furiously tapping the white stick off of the side of her desk with the other three sticks sitting in the top drawer of her desk when the door opened and Guy walked in. As soon as the door was closed Colette threw the white stick at him, hitting him right in the side of the head. Guy picked up the white stick and turned to her glaring at her. The look he was giving her saying what the hell to her.

"You got me pregnant you ass" Growled Colette with tears in her eyes and her voice wavered.
"I….um…..Oohhhh"
"Oh. That's all you've got to say."
"No of course not baby. Its great news."
" No it isn't. Guy you have a grown daughter. She's going to kill me then you them me again and enjoy it. This is not great." Cried Colette as Guy walked over to her.
"Now Colette you listen to me. This is one thing that Zosia has no say in. Sure in was an accident but it's a great accident, conceived by two adults who love each other because I do love you Colette."
"I love you too…..I've got to go there needing the emergency team. A train de-railed and there's been an explosion." Said Colette reading her beeping pager.

Guy did not want her to go but he knew that as the head nurse, who had training in emergency field and traumas she had no choice to go. I mean she was in the army for a year treating injured soldiers on the front line. Because well more her family were in the army at some point. Sighing the two of them quickly walked to down to AAU and he watched her climbed into the back of the ambulance. Walking over to the nurse's station he paged the professors, consultants, F1's and F2s to the stairwell as well as a nurse from each ward. Standing in front of everyone he explained what was going on and who was doing what.

He wanted one of the two consultants from each department down in accident and emergency/ AAU ward and that he would be Neurology's one. Guy also explained that the hospital's emergency field team had already gone to the accident and not to panic if they come back injured because they very well may.

Guy knew every was mentally going through in their heads what they were doing them self's and what everyone else was doing, so once he was one hundred percent sure that he knew that everyone knew what they were doing he dismissed them and told them if they had any questions to come and find him or Serena and they would do their best to answer them the best they could. He also made sure everyone not to panic once again, to listen to the consultants and professors and to keep it together and everything would go just fine.

Within in ten minutes the hospital was bursting with chaos. There was doctors and nurse rushing by and shouting over the nose and attending to the patients, the most critical first of course. So far there had only been one death and F1s as well as the F2's were holding up pretty well under the pressure surprisingly even Arthur.

It had been like that for the last half an hour and then all of a sudden there was the sound of an explosion. So Guy demanded that someone put on either the radio or the television. As soon as the television was on the news was reporting that the rear end of the train had exploded again due to a gas leak.

The first that ran through his head was that Colette was still at the scene, but soon he was pulled out of his thoughts and busy checking over a patient. As he examined the patient he was glad to tell the patient he only had a concussion and lacerations to the head, arm and leg as well as a dislocated shoulder. Which he put back into place and into a sling after the x-rays had all come back clear.

Zosia and Digby however trying to get a lady to calm down as she at them about how she had lost her mobile phone and she needed it. It was important apparently. It took them ten minuet's but she finally calmed down when Zosia told her to get over herself and look at what she had and had happened and look just how lucky she was to just have minor injuries. It could have been worse and she could have lost a hell of a lot more that her mobile phone.

"Alright everyone listen up." Shouted Guy

Everyone stopped what they were all doing, and all turned around to look at him.

"The last of the injured people are coming in. There is about is about five more ambulances on their way. Two are critical and the other three are minor our emergency team are one there way back also." Spoke Guy
"F1 and F2's you will all be receiving an commendation for today. We know it's been hard and it's your first major trauma and you have all done exceptionally well. But we both just like to say thank you to all and well. Keep it up."

Zosia and Arthur were at the very last bed tending to the patient and Guy shouted for them to all pay attention they stopped cleaning his wound and turned to face him. As he spoke they reached over as grasped each other's hands and laced their fingers together, keeping it hidden behind then bed. Zosia could see her dad looking at her over the crowed and looked eyes with him. She gave him a tired smiled and squeezed Arthur's hand in hers.

Sometimes it took accidents to happen for you to really see things how they actually are and to clear the clouds and cobwebs away from your brain. Zosia could that those feelings she was feeling towards Arthur really was love but she wasn't just quite ready to tell him but maybe just maybe her holding his hand behind the bed connived to him just how she felt about him. She hoped anyway because there was no way she was ready but she wasn't far of it.

It didn't even take five minutes for the next two ambulances to arrive at the hospital and the patients to get wheeled out followed by members of the emergency team and they got to work again. But Guy never seen Colette come out of the ambulance, so he stopped Mo who was part of the emergency team asking her where the head nurse and he was relieved to find out that she was in the next ambulance two minutes away. As soon as the ambulance pulled in Guy, Zosia and Arthur were at the door waiting and took the two patients to bays to check them over.

Colette jumped out the next ambulance and within seconds Guy was questioning her, speaking a hundred miles a minuet. Looking around to make sure they weren't needed she pulled him by the hand into the empty corridor as she leaned against the wall and he pressed his front against her front, running his hands down her arms from her shoulders to her hands and laced their fingers together.

"Are you okay…..is the baby okay?" Questioned Guy once again.
"I'm okay Guy. I don't see why it wouldn't be there was nothing that hit my stomach and I never fell down fell during the explosion. I wasn't that close to it."
"We should do down and see your OBGYN"
"Guy slow down. It's too early to tell anything from an ultra sound yet I think. Okay but I have an appointment tomorrow with him for a pelvic exam bloods and maybe an ultra sound if he is worried or thinks I'm far enough on and that would only be if you got me pregnant the first time we slept together. Sound good?"
"Yeah, sorry for going crazy on you. I was just worried about baby. You might want to let Zosia know you're okay she pretending not to worry but I could tell she was looking for her Collieboo."
"I know sweetheart. I will go now. Now let's get back out there."

Sharing a quick kiss they went back out expecting it to be chaos still but it wasn't. Everyone had been seen to and were on the correct wards. Just how long had they pressed against the wall. People were cleaning up the mess the doctors and nurses had left on the floor and Guy headed to their office and Colette went to find Zosia on the Neuro-Surgical ward. Finding her by the nurses station went over to her assuring her she was okay and kissed on the head and grabbed the paper work she needed before heading back to the office.

When she got there was a clean pair of scrubs and bottle of water on her desk waiting for her. Smiling she grabbed the scrubs heading into the office bathroom to clean up a bit. Coming out the bathroom she smiled at Guy and sat down at her desk drinking the water and started to get on with the paper work but she could feel staring at her. Colette smiled and told him to stop at her because she was just fine.
