Stuck in the hospital part 2

lol I've wanted to do this for a while… *grins* Let's see our main doctors, and a few others… all cooped up for as long as I want! *sighs happily* there's nothing about this situation I don't love!

Maria POV

After hearing this they all muttered for a moment, before Esha got their attention again.

"The power hasn't gone out yet, though I'm afraid the phone lines are down. Sorry for the inconvenience." Everyone began muttering among themselves again, and the Chief walked away from the front of the room signaling that was all she had to say.

Maria sighed angrily just great! This was the last thing she needed! She glanced around at everyone else to see how they were taking the news.

Hank didn't seem bothered by it; he never seemed bother by anything.

Gabe looked really annoyed.

Tomoe looked vaguely excited.

CR-S01 was looking worried about something and fidgeting, while the FBI dude with him furiously tried to get a signal, despite the news that there wasn't any phone service.

Naomi was talking quietly with that blond man who was always with her and Alyssa.

In general everyone seemed to be quite upset with their current situation. Their only blessing was that if they had to spend the night, at least there were spare hospital beds and sheets. She sighed and leaned against the wall. It wasn't like she had anything planned anyway…

CR-S01 POV

CR watched nervously as Ian Holden, the FBI agent currently responsible for him angrily tried to get some sort of phone connection. He wasn't sure what he was supposed to do. Sure this was he didn't have to spend Christmas eve in his cell, but he wasn't sure if he was supposed to be happy about getting stuck in the hospital. So he stood nervously watching Ian get more and more upset until at last he threw his phone down and sighed loudly. He walked a little ways away and started muttering something to himself. Tomoe walked over to him.

"Don't be too sad, at least you can spend Christmas with us!" She said cheerfully. He looked up at her for a moment. "The path of honor says that we should make the most of any situation." CR supposed this was true, but he was still unsure of what he was supposed to make of the situation. Perhaps he should follow her advice and 'make the best of it'. Whatever that meant…Tomoe stared at him for a moment as if waiting for him to say something, but like usual he didn't have much to say, she seemed to understand this.

"Thank you, I am happy I don't have to spend Christmas in my cell." He tried to smile, but found the corners of his mouth still terribly stiff, it probably looked more like a grimace to her.

"Don't worry they can't punish you for staying since there's nowhere else to go." This actually reassured him, perhaps he had been feeling worried about that. He nodded to her and gave a neutral expression instead of trying to smile again. She smiled and went to try and cheer up Maria, he didn't envy her in the least, Maria was looking pretty ticked off, she might have had plans he thought.

Naomi POV

"It'll be fine." She reassured Alyssa. "I'm sure Santa will bring your presents to our house and then you can open them once the storm is over." She glanced at Little Guy out of the corner of her eye, he was trying to get a signal on his cell phone. She laughed a little since his boss, Ian had been trying to do the same thing for several minutes. Six doctors, two FBI agents, and a child. This had to be a recipe for disaster. She shook her head and sighed to herself. Well the main thing for the moment was not to panic, and stay warm she supposed, if the power went out they would be pretty cold…

"It's no use." Little Guy muttered glaring at his phone. He sighed and flipped it shut.

"Well, since we were told that phones were out, wouldn't that be obvious?" Naomi said rolling her eyes. Ian looked up and noticed them.

"Hello, Agent. Hello Doctor." He greeted them. "I thought you both worked at CIFM what are you doing all the way out here?" He asked politely.

"I was dropping off some files." Naomi said. "Lit- Navel tagged along that was all." He nodded and they didn't say anything. Everyone else had calmed down and they all made somewhat awkward small talk. Soon, though it became apparent that they weren't going anywhere for a while…

Maria POV

"Naomi, I'm bored." Alyssa complained. Some of the doctors who remained wandered about checking on the few patients who remained over the holidays, and the rest of those who remained at the hospital were in a large waiting room near the snow covered courtyard. There was a roaring fire and Christmas decorations everywhere along with several chairs and couches. They were all comfortable enough, but they were all extremely bored. Most all of them had to agree with Alyssa. It was dull. Maria rocked on her heels for a moment trying to think of something to do.

"We could sing Christmas carols." Tomoe offered.

"Yeah!" Alyssa agreed perking up instantly, most of the other doctors groaned and shook their heads. Maria got a wicked smile on her face.

"Good idea, Tomoe!" She grinned at the others. "Why don't we all sing?"

Mwahahaha! Don't ask why the idea of them all singing amuses me, but it does. XD Sorry for short crappy chatper, but I started to run low on ideas. I might edit it to make it longer somtime, but I'm trying to get the whole story up before Christmas right now! There was supposed to be a lot more stuff before I went to the singing :(
