"Tell her I'll be praying." Lindsey said to Kate after getting her things settled. "And I love her."
Kate hugged the older blonde close. "I promise. I'll call when we know more." She grabbed her things and left the house.
"Clamp." Dr. Burke called. Christina gave it too him. He was working on Charlie's heart.
"The heart is really weak. His pulse is dropping." Dr. Bailey replied.
"It seems like something has weakened the walls. Grey, was Charlie a drug user?" Burke asked.
Meredith nodded. "Heroin. He used it heavily before the plane crash."
Burke gave Mer a knowing look. "Scalpel."
Meredith hoped that Charlie would make it out.
"I thought it was just a cold. How could I have been so stupid?" Claire questioned herself. She was scared to death knowing Charlie was in a delicate surgery.
Jack was sitting next to her. "You're not stupid. The symptoms were like that. You had a normal reaction."
"What if he doesn't wake up?" Claire's eyes were so blood shot, even after cleaning her up.
"He's going to wake up." Jack brought her close.
Claire nodded and let her brother hold her.
"The heart rate is still dropping." Miranda noted.
"I just need to…" Burke started.
The machine made a loud hum.
"He's flatling! Get the crash cart!" Burke shouted.
Christina got it and Burke got the paddles.
"200"
ThudNothing.
"250"
ThudNothing.
"300"
ThudNothing.
Mer watched in horror, remembering the wedding she had just been at a few weeks earlier.
"360"
Thud
Beep, Beep, Beep
"Pulse is rising." Dr. Bailey said.
"Let's close him up." Burke ordered.
Kate ran up to where Derek said Jack and Claire were. She spotted the siblings in the waiting room with the TV on. Neither one was watching though.
"Hey Claire." Kate said softly as she approached.
Claire ran over to hug her best friend. "How's Aaron?"
"He's fine. Your mom is with the boys and she wanted to tell you she loves you."
"Thank you." Claire was so tired.
"You're welcome." Kate hugged her again.
Jack came over to Kate and held her tight. "I'm glad you came. I needed to see you."
"Me too." They kissed each other gently.
"Guys? Is that?" Claire asked.
Dr. Burke wheeled Charlie's gurney towards the room with Meredith and Christina. Claire, Jack, and Kate moved out into the hallway for them to have room.
After Charlie was transferred, Burke walked towards Claire.
"How is her?" Claire asked pleading.
Burke looked towards Jack and Kate, then back at Claire. "Mrs. Pace, we need to talk."
