A/N As promised a new chapter. This is really jut a filler chapter sorry this is shorter than what I usually write I only had a short amount of time to write this chapter. This one goes out to all the Minx fans reading this story.
The first floor of Pine Valley hospital held the Emergency Room just hours ago the ER had been buzzing with excitement as patient after patient was brought in following a horrendous car accident and a senseless shooting.
The second floor was full of hope and new life. The maternity ward was where people went in their darkest hours to feel a sense of hope.
The third and fourth floors housed patient rooms, family waiting areas, and the Intensive Care Units. Finally the fifth floor was Radiology and the Operating Rooms.
There was a hush over the fourth floor waiting room as the people of Pine Valley waited for a bit of hope. Hours ago their loved ones had gone from that first floor ER to the fifth floor.
In OR 1 Joe Martin and Maria Grey frantically worked on Marissa. They had already gone through three units of blood and the nurse was hooking up a fourth. The internal bleeding was far worse than they had expected.
Just a floor below them Bianca had her head resting on her mother's lap. Bianca hoped that Marissa could feel her love that she could hear her voice and would come back to her.
The sounds of Marissa's heart stopping echoed through the room as the doctors frantically tried to bring her heart back into normal rhythm.
"Marissa? Hey Marissa?" she could hear a voice calling out her name but everything was dark. She forced her eyes open. She was surrounded by a bright light. Without hesitation she held her hand over her eyes shielding them from the light.
She watched as the body belonging to the voice crying out to her approached her.
As her eyes adjusted to the world around her she found Bianca standing in front of her.
"Come on Marissa the kids are waiting for us!" Bianca grabbed her hand and pulled her into the park.
AJ, Miranda, and Gabby were running through the grass playing a game of tag. As Marissa watched their children play and laugh she forgot for a moment the woman standing next to her. Suddenly Bianca reached out and slapped her on the arm, "TAG! YOUR IT" Bianca giggled and ran away.
Without a second of hesitation Marissa ran after Bianca determined to get her girl. She chased her all over the park the sound of their giggles invaded her senses. Marissa was within arm's reach of the other girl so she stretched out and pulled Bianca to her chest. She pulled so hard she lost her balance and fell to the ground Bianca falling on top of her.
"Bianca" she laughed despite her concern, "Are you alright?"
Bianca flipped over putting one leg over each side of Marissa. She pushed the other girls hands down to the ground. "You're going to regret that little girl."
"Oh yeah?"
Bianca leaned down and kissed the other woman deeply. As Marissa felt her soft lips pressed against hers she closed her eyes enjoying every taste and sensation that Bianca brought to her.
When Marissa opened her eyes again she was standing with someone behind her holding their hands over her eyes. "What are you doing?"
Bianca's sweet voice calmed the fear in her soul, "It's a surprise now quit complaining and walk. Do you trust me?"
Marissa smiled, "With my life."
Bianca walked forward her eyes shielding Marissa's eyes from what was to come. She stopped suddenly. "Are you read 'Rissa?" Bianca watched as she nodded her head.
Marissa could feel Bianca's face inching closer to hers. A soft breeze ran across her ear as Bianca counted, "3…2…1…SURPRISE!"
The soft hands fell from her eyes and Marissa gasped as she saw the house that stood before them. It was their dream house. A small quaint house that was big enough for their family but not too big that it was overly extravagant. It was an old Victorian house with a white picket fence surrounding the yard that the kids could run and play in. The house was white with blue shutters. There were three floors.
Marissa turned to Bianca, "Binx I can't believe you did this."
"It's the house we fell in love with 'Rissa. It's time we start our lives together." Bianca got down on one knee and reached into her pocket taking out a velvet blue box. "I remember the first day I knew I loved you 'Rissa. I felt a wholeness in my soul that I haven't felt in such a long time. When you told me you loved me I knew that you were it for me…my soulmate. I never believed I deserved someone as wonderful as you but here you are. You, me, and our children deserve to be together forever." Bianca opened the box and revealed the engagement ring Marissa had always wanted. "Marissa will you marry me."
"Nothing in this world would make me happier Binx." Marissa pulled the girl up to her and pulled her into a passionate kiss.
As the woman stood in front of their dream house a shots began to ring out all around them. Marissa screamed as Bianca's body went limp in her arms. She lifted her hands up and saw them covered in blood.
The ringing of the heart and blood pressure monitors had stopped. Maria looked down at Marissa and then up at Joe. "Do you want to tell the family or should I?"
