One week Later. Nick walked into the house with the mail in his hand. He walked into the living crashed on the couch next to Dana.
"Bill, bill... bill, your car payment, American Express, Visa." he evaluated as he threw the evelopes aside. "Yea! Paycheck!"
"Just becuase it's from Rittenhouse doesn't mean it's a paycheck. It could be your pink slip." she joked
"HA, HA, HA." he relied sarcasticly and opened the envelope. "Rittenhouse's new Dress code." he begun to read:
"Male phyicians- Our new dress code call for you to wear black pants only. A white or light blue dress shirt should accompny it. However, your lab coat must be worn over the outfit. FLIP FLOPS ARE NOT SHOES! If you don't own these sort of clothes you may wear scrubs.
Female phyicians- From now forward you are not to wear halter tops (cough, cough Dana)." he hinted " If you are to wear a skirt it should only one inch above your knee. If not you can wear black pants. Be sure your thongs are not visible when you bent over. Your shirts should leave something to the imagination. We don't need to see everything. As for shoes, no heels higher then an inch and a half. NO JEANS.
Thank you, RH." he finished reading
"Was that a serious letter? My lowest heel is three inchs!" she yelled "I hate life."
"Oh, yeah, you have to pick your parents up from the airport at 9."
"Today?" she asked, Nick nodded "Why didn't I know?"
"Because I forgot to tell you. They're coming to see Alexa. They haven't seen her for a while."
"I hate life. First the uniform and now my parents!"
"You sound like a 14 year old girl."
The next morning. Nick walked into the RWHC. It looked somewhat busy.
"Hey, Lana." he said
"Hey, kid. Are Lu or Dana going to finish anytime soon?"
"No. They both have five minutes between now and their next patient." as she said that Lu came out and handed a chart to Lana.
"I is need coffee." she said with a middle eastern accent. Dana came out of her office and put the chart in her hand aside.Nick kissed her.Peter joined them.
"The five of us haven't gone out in the longest time." Dana complained. "We used to have so much fun."
"The you decided to have children!" Peter expelained. "You couldn't stay at night clubs until two in the morning."
"Remember the time we stayed up until 9a.m. I think it was in L.A." Lu recalled "Like a week after you guys came back from your honeymoon."
"We should do that again." Lana and Peter said at once. Lu's attention was drawn to the door. Someone walked in, with their hands buried in their pockets. The person stood there for a brief minuted and looked around. Then he withdrew his hand form the pocket. A second later a gun shot was heard. The bullet flew and broke a medicine cabinet. Lana hit under her desk a bullet split her screen to two. Peter pushed Lu out of the way and they both fell to the floor. The bullet missing both of them with mear inchs. Nick watched in what seamed like slow motion a bullet fly by his own eyes without thinking twice he dived and kocked Dana to the ground under a desk with him in front of her. Bullets flew for another 10 second and the person left.Everyone got up and looked around. No one had been shot, nothing had been taken. All of them looked at one another in shock.
"Can someone tell me what the fuck just happened? " Lana yelled., Dana was already in Nick's arms. She was somewhat crying. Robert came running.
"What the hell happened" he asked
"Gang shooting. No one was hurt and nothing has been taken." Peter informed.
"Babe, calm down. Everything's fine." Nick said, he hadn't noticed Robert.
"Babe? Dr. Baincavilla, she's married." he said
"Oh, shit." Lu whispered
"To him. Nick and I are married and we have been for like five years.I'm not lying about it anymore."
"Dana, that's against the rules. You can't work togther and be married."
"Robert! He saved my life. If it wasn't for him I would be dead. I'm not going to pretend he's not my husband anymore."
"The Board isn't going to like that."
"I don't care. What the board likes. Their stupid dress code isn't enough, they get to tell me who I should sleep with?"
"You two shouldn't have lied to me."
"Why do you care? Why does the board care? It my buiness who my children receive their 23 chromosomes from, not the fucking boards. The only thing they should care about is my performance. And since my marrige isen't affecting my preformance then..."
"If only they saw it your way." Robert interuped
"If my marrige is a problem, Robert. Then I'm quitting. I take my family over my job."
"I'm sure we'll be able to work something out." Robert said.
"Dana! What the hell! Why did you tell him? "
"Nick you saved my life. I would have been dead if it wasen't for you. A little kid witha gun made me realize; I don't have control over life and death. Having someone like you by my side is not something I should hide. Especialy since you risked your life to save mine."
"I'd do anything for you, Babe." he kissed her.
"I'm sorry to buy the return ticket from cloud 9 for the two of you but there was a gang shooting her not an action version of Romeo and Juliet.Although that would be an intersting performance to see." Peter stated
"Oh, damn! Now I need a new computer!" Lana exclaimed.
"At least you still have all you arms!" Lu yelled "All of you are insane. The two of you are exchaning sevalvia. Your thinking of making Bill Gates richer. And you are rewritting Shakspear! All of you could have died!"
Robert came back.
"I forgot to mention, Dana you're breaking the dress code. No Jeans, you heels are alot higher then and 1 1/2 and no low cut shirts. Luisa your skirt is too short. Peter, no Jeans. And Nichlos were do I start.No jeans, no USC tshirts and you don't have a lab coat on. All of you have gotten your first waring.Two more and your fired." he left
"That man need pycological evaluation."
