HufflePuff- I'll try to update that story as soon as I can! I'm having serious writers block with it. I'm horrible for that. Thanks for the reviews though! Enjoy another chapter!

pocksuppet- I liked Mia! Especially with Lucas! haha. Dislike her so much outside of Degrassi though, like VampireDiaries. And yes, Toby is definitely going to be the George Malley but I don't know if I'll go plot by plot. I just thought that grey's episode was pretty good. I want to give him a girl, I just don't know who.

AllieB- Thanks for coming back to read and always reviewing! Ofcourse Jay HAS to be okay! But..how bad will the damage be? Muahah.

Sacherine- Thanks for the review! I'm glad you like it. It is different, but once again I can't take credit for the writing in the next two chapters. It's a lot from greys anatomy! I'm not Doctor, so I took their twists. Lines will be changed though to better suit our favorite Degrassi characters!

Chante- thanks for the review! I try to update as fast as I can lol. I get writers block a lot so I'll try to finish the other stories as fast as I can. I think i've been doing pretty good at finishing some!

NEXT CHAPTER:

Emma's voice over: "Human beings need a lot of things to feel alive."

Danny lies in his hospital bed, his heart monitor still flat lining. Chest not moving. He's not breathing..

Manny's Voice Over: "Family. Love. Sex."

Craig's Voice Over: "But we only really need one thing..."

Jay's Voice Over: "..To actually be alive."

Jay's lying on a stretcher with a mask over his mouth, and nurses rushing him to Emergency. Blood is all over his clothes. Jesses is still running by his side.

Ellie's Voice Over: "We need a beating heart. A Heart Beat."

Snake begins to do CPR on Jay. Jay's eyes flutter open, but he can't see anything but blur vision. Can barely open his eyes.

Jt's voice over : "We can't control life or death"

Liberty is still next to Danny's bed, scissors in her hand, his cord cut. Danny's STILL not moving.

Liberty's Voice Over: "Or can we?"

((((((((((((((************))))))))))))))))))))))))

Jt eyes were widened in horror, yet still he didn't make a run for it. He hoped to god Liberty knew what she was doing. He ran to put his hands on Danny to see if he could help. "I can't feel a pulse. Lib, we need to call a code!"

She shook her head frantically, "No! I have a plan." she tried to count to 10 to stay calm.

"He's crashing! I need to call the-"

"No!" she turned him around to face her and she stared him down firmly, "You can make a choice Jt. You stay, and help me. .." she softened, "Which I would really appreciate right now because I am scared to death. I could use your help.."

JT's shoulders dropped, wishing she didn't say that.

"Or..you can leave."

Jt nodded, swallowing a big gulp. He was putting everything on the line, for her. "Fine. I'll stay."

She nodded, giving him as much of a thankful smile she could at the moment with her heart pounding. They both looked back at Danny.

(((((((((******))))))

"Whose going to tell her?" Craig asked, glancing at Ellie to Manny.

Ellie looked at Manny who bit her nails nervously. "You're her best friend." Ellie declared

Manny painfully shut her eyes and looked to Craig. She softened when he nodded at her. She had to do this. She took a deep breath and nodded. She went to Emma who sat in the lunch room.

"Em?"

Emma looked up, tears in her eyes and stood up quickly. She went to Manny and asked, "Did you find out who it was yet?"

They were told to go to the highest floor, to get away from any other possible gunshots. It was Snakes way of hiding Emma from what happened. Jay had been shot.

Manny nodded, looking down and put her hands on her hips as she inhaled deeply, "The shooters dead. So is Brad."

Emma exhaled deeply too, smiling and so thankful that was it. But it wasn't.

"Emma, another person was shot.." Manny drifted fearfully, and she didn't have to finish that by the look on Emma's face. She already knew.

Manny gasped when the blonde shoved by her, running back down to the Emergency floor.

Not Jay. It had to be anyone but Jay. How could it be JAY!?

(((((((((*******)))))))))))

Meanwhile, Jesse paced back and forth behind Snake in Trauma, where he worked on Jay. "How bad is it?" Jesse asked, talking over the heart monitor and interns.

Snake was focusing hard on the bullet wound, "Uh, gun shot wound to the right shoulder. He's lost a lot of blood..." the interns around him were running around furiously. This was one of their own, and one of their best. Jay had to make it.

Jesse nodded, sliding his hand down his face and paced again before Snake spoke up again, "Go and shut the blinds closed. We don't want Emma walking by."

Jesse paused, looking shocked Snake knew and would do this just for them. But he nodded and agreed, going to the window quickly and shutting didn't help. She barged right in, shoving another nurse off her when she went to stop her.

She stopped in front of Jesse and Snake, breathless.

"Emma," Jesse said, his eyes wide but not as wide as hers. "You're not supposed to be in here."

"Jay." she whispered, eyes shimmering with tears. She looked at Jesse numbly and then snapped, her eyes filling with anger, "How dare you not tell me!"

"Emma, we weren't-"

"If you two want to help Jay right now," muttered Snake, eyes still hard on the wound and digging out the bullet with his tools, "You'll both shut up right now, and just be there for him instead of shouting at another and making things worst. So far, he's okay."

They both shut up. Jesse crossed his arms and nodded. Emma choked on her fears and then took a deep breath before she stepped to Jay's side, sliding her fingers through his. Snake went back to work. Emma narrowed her eyes at Snake, silently thinking that he better save Jay's life or she'd really hate him.

"Em?" they heard Jay mumble.

Emma's heart lept almost out of her chest, looking down at his flushed face. "heyy," she sang softly and he tried to get up. Jesse came over and helped Emma push him down. "Don't get up."

"Jay you've been shot." Snake said, trying to go back to work and finish the stitching.

Jay felt woozy, but he was still trying to get up even though he was sweating head to toe and pale. "I'm fine."

"You need to lay down. You've lost a lot of blood." Emma told him, worry in her eyes and he turned his head to look at her, swallowing hard. He didn't want to stay, he wanted to get up, but the way she was looking at him right now was hard to say no too. "Please?" her voice cracked.

Jesse joked to him, "Tonight, you are the patient. Lay down!" he nodded happily since Jay was already doing so.

Snake finished up and Emma shut her eyes, thanking every single kind of heaven. She whipped her tears and held Jay's hand tighter but realised his felt weak. "Jay?" she said.

He looked at her, swallowing and still hazy, "Hmm?"

Emma caught Snakes eye and she glanced down at Jay's hand in hers with him. "Can you feel my hand?"

Even Jesses eyes narrowed down to Jay's fingers. He knew exactly what this problem could end up like if it was permanent; Hand function problems. A doctor couldn't have hand functioning problems. Jay too glanced at her hand in his and his eyes went dark. He couldn't feel it.

"Em?" Jay said, cringing a little.

Emma stepped forward, "What, Jay?"

"I.." he drifted off, "I need...you...to go check on Danny Van Zandt."

She bit her lip.

"Please."

She nodded with a slight huff, "I'll be right back." she ran to the door, but glanced worriedly over his shoulder. Why didn't he want her to stay with him?

(((***))

Emma walked into Danny's room, her head down and her own face flushed. That had to of been the scariest moment she'd ever been through. If Jay's heart stopped, hers would of forever too.

She looked up when she heard gasps and her eyes widened in shock seeing Liberty in there, and turned her head when someone slammed the door behind Jt.

"I thought you locked it!" hissed Jt at Liberty who was manually pumping Danny's heart now.

Emma didn't know what to say or think right now. Her eyes stayed wide open and she stuttered, "W-what's going on?"

"We need help." Jt admitted, giving Liberty a look when she shot him a glare but then rolled her eyes and nodded.

Emma yelled now, "What the hell is going on?!"

Manny entered the room next, and Liberty yelled back at Jt now "You didn't Lock it after yelling at me for not locking it!?"

Manny looked just as freaked out, "What the hell is going on?"

Emma nodded "Exactly what I said."

JT explained simply, "She cut his LVAD wires." they all looked at Danny with fearful eyes.

"Are you trying to kill him, Liberty!?" Emma yelled. Manny shut her eyes, putting her hands on her head and trying not to have a panic attack. This was bad, really bad.

Liberty gave them a look like they were crazy. This was her BROTHER. "I'm trying to save him! All I had to do was tell UNOS and Jay that his condition got worst, and that he needs that heart stat. Now? It's on it's way!"

Emma's mouth dropped and she was speechless. Liberty didn't know. "About Jay-"

Manny cut her off, looking at Emma for reassurance, "She's gone insane, right? It's not just me?"

Liberty promised, "Everything will be fine."

"Liberty!" Emma finally shouted and shut her eyes, and kept them closed as she explained with regret, "He's been shot! I don't know where that heart is."

In pure shock, Liberty dropped the object that was supporting Danny's heart. Jt ran over, and pumped Danny's heart himself for her. "W-what?" she asked. "Jay's not coming?" she stared up numbly. "Jay's not coming." she whispered.

Shit. Shit ...oh god.

Emma nodded, "Jay's not coming. I know your having problems here what with your possible murder charges and your unbelievably stupid idea about stealing a heart, but Jay's kind of busy right now!"

Liberty backed up to the wall behind her, "Danny's gonna die. Danny's gonna die and I killed him." she started to sob and slide down the wall.

"How could you LET her do this!?" Manny shouted at JT, her own eyes shimmering. This couldn't be happening. Not to Danny, not to Jay , not to Liberty or all of them.

His eyes widened, "ME!? LET HER?!" he faked a bellowed laugh. There was no stopping Liberty on a mission.

Manny took a deep breath and tried to reason, "We have to tell someone."

Emma groaned, "No, then Danny won't get the heart and Liberty would be fired or even possibly charged." As much as she was angry right now, they loved Liberty, and she was doing this for her brother. But they were in deep shit. "No one is leaving this room, and no one is dying."

Manny, Liberty and Jt looked at her, sadness but agreement in their eyes. They knew she was speaking about Jay too. They were all in quite the pickle.

Suddenly a whisper came from Danny's lips, "Thank you. It was kind of getting on my nerves all this dying talk.."

Liberty gasped, getting up and running to his side "Danny!"

He could barely open his eyes, "It's ok. I think, uh, maybe we should all listen to Emma. It looks like she might have a plan."

Liberty turned to her, and so did Manny and Jt with hopeful desperate eyes. Emma clenched her jaw but nodded. She did have a plan..

(((**)))

Jesse had come out as Ellie came over and looked over his shoulder, "Jay okay?"

"For now." he nodded.

Ellie looked around uncomfortably, "Is Snake in there? Staying busy?"

Jesse eyed her wierdly, "Why?"

She just turned and walked to the elevator, holding the door for him to follow. When he did, she guided him to floor 3. When it dinged open, she led him to Craig's personal office. When she opened the door, Jesse noticed Snakes daughter Darcy and his wife Daphne standing there.

"What's...going on?" Jesse asked.

Craig bit the end of his tounge, and nurse Ashley Kerwin stood next to him. She was a baby doctor, or pregnancy or-

"Oh.. shit." Jesse put it all together, glancing at Snakes daughter who was only 17. She was pregnant wasn't she? She was suppose to be a good girl though, Snake was always showing off that she was a church girl, a smart girl, not a teen mom

He'd be heartbroken.

"She needs an abortion." Daphne said, putting her hand on her daughters shoulder. Daphne was a good looking woman for her age. The Botox helped. She was the obvious Doctors wife.

Darcy begged them, "My Dad can't find out."

"Your Dad is the Cheif of this hospital," Jesse looked at Craig again, "You can't do this without him knowing."

"I'd be doing it." Ashley spoke up.

"Then why do you need me here?" Jesse asked, aggravated.

Craig sucked in breath, "We at least need to charge her with something to use her hospital insurance. So..we're going with plastic surgery. We'll say she was here for just a little shot of botox or something."

Daphne shrugged simply, "I come for the all the time. He wouldn't suspect a thing."

"You don't say." Jesse taunted before huffing. He nodded and grabbed the chart to sign. "Get it over with." he left with that.

((((****)))))

When Ashley finished with Darcy, she gave her a moment to be alone with her mother. She went back to Craigs office, finding him alone. Exactly how she wanted him.

"Hey." she smiled seductively, closing the door.

He glanced up and looked back up with wide eyes when she was taking off her white jacket.

"It's like a ghost town on this floor.." she wore a black short pencil skirt and tight white blouse.

He cleared his throat, giving her a weird look and signed another signature spot for his papers. "So it is." he said carelessly.

She walked around his desk, and this time he knew what she was trying to do and glared at her as he tried to move back more in his chair when she sat upon his desk, right in front of him.

"You've got quite the reputation here already Doctor Mannings." she teased, knowing he probably didn't mind being called Craig, but Doctor was so much sexier.. "Are you single?"

He shot up when her legs went from crossed, to slowly opening apart, "No. Jesus! What are you doing?" he leaned back against the wall behind him after getting up.

She giggled at his scared cat act. She got up and he watched her unbotton her blouse, showing off a firm chest. His heart pounded, only because if Manny found this out, she'd kill him. Next, Ashley took off her red bra, and it landed on his desk.

He tensed up when she slid her hands up his chest to his shoulders, "I won't tell."

"There's nothing TO TELL." he snapped back, "Now get out."

Her eyes flashed angrily and she shook her head, "I'm topless, all over you, and you're telling me to get out?"

"Get the hell out." he repeated, raising an eyebrow.

She snickered bitterly, grabbing her white blouse from off the floor and whipped it on. "You'll regret this." she went to charge out the door to stop. She began to laugh as she buttoned up her top and turned back to him, "Oh my god it's true. I heard rumors but.."

Craig just stood his ground, glare firm. He didn't care what she had to say, he just wanted her to leave.

"You're fucking an intern aren't you?" she pouted playfully, "I thought a talented Doctor like you would go for bigger, better things. Not some little kitten," she then bit her lip. "Or maybe you just like them submissive? I can be rather whimperish if you want me to be."

He walked to her, and she closed her eyes when he stopped infront, thinking he was going to kiss her. He opened the door and pointed outside.

She glared and marched out, and he took a step out to make sure she left for good, and left his floor. He slammed his office door behind him, missing the fact Ashleys red bra was still on his desk after he stormed off.

(((((((*******))))))))))

"that's a stupid plan!" Jt yelled at Emma.

She snickered in disbelief, "Well, Jay's downstairs and I want to go be with him," she glanced around at everyone, "So if you don't agree with my plan, I am more than happy to leave."

"She's right," Liberty said, "We have to confirm the condition ourselves. We get the blood work. We do the echo. And no one even has to know what we did."

"You did." Emma corrected, squinting her eyes madly at Liberty. Liberty looked away with struggled feelings. Manny just stood there still in shock but happened to remember something.

"None of us have done an echo on our own before.."

"You have," JT said, pointing at Emma, "Jay taught you. I remember cause I wanted to learn but..." he looked around with a nervous smile, "he hates me."

Emma frowned deeply and shook her head, "No. I'm not doing it. I came up with the plan so someone else has to do it."

Liberty stood a step forward to her, "What if it was Jay? What if you were me?"

Emma's eyes flashed madly, "Jay is downstairs! He almost DIED! I am up here while he needs me because of what you did!"

"OK I'LL DO IT!" MAnny yelled, "Craig showed me. Just...just everyone breath and calm down."

They nodded and did so. Liberty glanced over to JT who shrugged his shoulders at her, "Lets do this."

((***))

"Hey there trooper." Craig said with a crooked grin, entering Jay's hospital room. Jay just groaned. Craig chuckled and walked over to him, "How do you feel?"

"Like I've been shot." he said grumpily. He licked his lips nervously before glancing around the room, only him and Craig in it. "I'm developing numbness in my...fourth and fifth fingers."

Craig's mouth opened, the closed. Shit. He was afraid of that. "You know the drill. Wait a few days, maybe the aneurysm won't grow." he said hopefully.

"Maybe?" repeated Jay with a snicker of disbelief, "My career is based on Maybe. My hand possibly becoming paralyzed? Maybe. Emma staying with me after I'm crippled? Maybe."

"Emma's with you for you, not your doctor status." Craig said reassuringly but Jay just kept glaring at the cieling after he laid his head back down. He wanted to be alone.

((((((((********))))))))

"He's flat lining again." said Emma.

Manny gasped, "Ok, um, uh, lets shock him. Uh, charge the defibrillator."

"Ventilate JT!" Liberty yelled.

"I AM!" he shouted back frighteningly. "Come on Danny, you bastard!" he brought the paddles over.

"Charging to 200!" Emma said.

"You got it?" Liberty asked Jt

"Yeah. Clear." He said, and Danny's body shot up when the paddles landed. Then, his heart went out. The monitors freaked out. Beeping surrounded there eyes. "Oh no, DANNY!" yelled Liberty.

Manny looked to Emma, panicking, "What do we do? What do we do?"

Emma scoffed, seemed like she had to take charge either way. She grabbed medicine and a needle, "I'm starting dopamine and dobutamine drips. We can use those together, right? What about milrinone?"

"I don't know I'm just a pharmacist!" Liberty yelled then groaned looking at the monitor, "His heart rate's 217. He's in SVT! Help him! We have to do something! He cannot take this for much longer.

"Life his arm," Emma directed Manny, and she did so. Emma put the needle in, and then silence took over, other than the flat lining.

"He's going to come back. He's going to come back right?" Liberty asked, fear in her eyes. He Flatlined for six seconds then his heart began beating again. They all sighed with relief-

The door had opened without their knowledge, and Snake stood there with a mortified yet incredibly calm for how angry he looked, "You idiots better have a good explanation for this. Step away from the patient." JT, Emma, and Manny stepped away. Liberty didn't. Snake narrowed his eyes, "Step away from the patient."

"I can't. I have to pump his heart." Liberty said, and Snake then noticed the cut LVAD wire. His eyes widened

"ELLIE!" yelled Snake and they all jumped, and the redhead came jogging behind to slow down and her own eyes to widen at what was happened, "Ellie, take over for Liberty here. Liberty, you're done here. I need you to leave the room. All 4 of you come with me."

(((***))))

He shouted madly in his office, pacing back up and down the line the 4 made from standing there, taking the heat, "Where was rational thought? Where was cognitive thinking? First do no harm? The morals, the ethics? Where was sanity when you decided to do this!?"

"We didn't-"

Snake snapped, "No, no. No speaking. Nobody speaks. I do not want to have to testify against any of you in a court of law. Not one word. And no moving! ...except for Emma, but only because Jay is asking for you. Go!"

Emma jumped in fear but nodded, running off. God, they were in deep shit.

((***)))

((**))

Jay looked over, feeling eyes on him from his door. Emma stood there, afraid to come in. He smiled weakily, "I've been shot, I don't have a social disease."

She nodded, but still, she was scared. She went to his side, her hazel eyes searching his and around his body. Was he REALLY okay?

"How are you? You look okay. You're okay, right? Please be okay-"

She was breathless when he chuckled slowly and cut her off to explain, "Snake, uh, doesn't know if he can fix my hand. Maybe I'll wait it out. See if this numbness subsides.."

"Yeah." Emma numbly nodded back.

"Or I could let Mannings operate. Try to fix my nerves.." he looked at her for her advice. She was always so smart. So good at making decisions.

"Yeah. Yeah." Emma nodded, still out of it. This all, this was all too much. She might just faint.

"..I could lose all hand function. What if I can never operate again?" he eyed her, wondering if that's the only reason she loved him.

"Yeah."

He grinned slowly. She was clearly shaken up. Barely coherent. She was obviously scared, scared for him, and that meant she did love him.. with or without the Doctor status.

"Emma."

She finally looked up, tears sliding down her cheeks. "You scared me to death, Jay."

He used his other hand to lift it up and cup her face. Her eyes closed and more tears slid. "Lets just be happy there was no deaths today, Nelson."

She nodded, snuffling a bit and opened her eyes, locking hers with his lovingly.

(((**)))

Danny was awake, and Snake stood over him with his arms crossed. Liberty behind him. "How you feeling?" he asked Danny.

Danny groaned, then glanced to Liberty before his eyes widened to Snake. Oh crap. "I... I cut my own LVAD wires, you know? I went rogue. All by myself." he joked, even in such a weak state.

"You're weak enough as it is. Please don't waste energy on lying." Snake taunted.

JT entered the room with Liberty behind him, "Here are the labs."

Liberty took the chart from Jt to show Snake, "See? See, his BUN and creatinine are increasing. He clearly has pulmonary edema. He deserves to move up to 1-A status on the transplant list. UNOS will give him the heart. You just have to call!"

Even JT stepped back at Snakes glare towards Liberty, "I take my medical advice from doctors. You are a visitor"

'What?"

Snake explained, "As of now Liberty, you are a visitor in this hospital. You will not be an employee in this hospital again until I decide you are."

"He get the heart now right?" Liberty asked, not caring.

Jt even cringed and tried to grab her hand to hide her behind him, but she stayed put.

Snake growled, "Yes Liberty. He goes into surgery..now." he nodded to the two male nurses at the door way who went to Dannys bed side, wheeling it forward and out the door.

Danny grinned, passing Jt and Liberty on his way out and she squealed so happily she swung her arms around JT. He hugged her back and teased in her ear, "You're one crazy girl, Lib. And I love yeah."

She pulled away, her mouth dropped. He did too, realising what he just said. Before he took it back she spoke up, "I love- I love you too..."

He grinned back happily, and crashed his lips over to hers, kissing her passionately. Her heart pounded.

Emma's voice over: "See? Heart beats are everything ."

...
