Secrets

Ray went to find where they had taken Lexi, but he felt everyone else's eyes on him. Shit! He was pretty sure that most of County knew by now. He found Sam with Luka and Abby in Trauma Four.

"How is she?" he demanded.

Sam narrowed her eyes at him," What are you doing here?"

"I'm worried okay?" he snapped," She's my wife."

"Whatever," Sam said turning to leave," I'll be back later."

He looked at Luka and Abby," Someone please tell me."

"She's gonna go up to CT, we need to run some tests, since she hasn't woken up yet. But her vitals are looking good and the baby looks okay too, but we aren't really sure yet," Luka said.

Neela was looking for Ray, she felt bad for saying the things that she did. She probably should have kept her mouth shut, and let Ray be the one to tell his wife. She hadn't meant to push the other woman down the stairs. She needed to find Ray and apologize.

(Ray & Neela)

After Lexi was taken up for a CT, Ray was headed for the lounge; he needed something to keep his mind off of things.

Neela found him," Ray?" she said.

He looked up and sighed softly," I don't want to fight about this anymore with you," he said.

"I didn't come to fight," she said quietly," Can we talk?"

"Um sure," he said, as they headed together into the lounge.

"I wanted to apologize," she said quietly," and I wanted you to know, I didn't mean to push her. I swear."

"I wish you wouldn't have said anything to her," he said quietly," you should have given me a chance to talk to her. I want to be with you Neela, I really do. But you should have given me a chance to say something. Would you have liked it if I told Michael that you never loved him?"

"No," she said quietly," I know I was wrong and I'm sorry. But you weren't being fair either; you knew she was pregnant didn't you?"

"I did," he said quietly," I'm sorry. I can't help how I feel about you Neela, I really can't."

She sighed softly," What are we going to do?"

"I'm really not sure yet."

"Is she okay?" she asked hesitantly.

"They have to run some tests."

(Several Hours Later)

They had learned that Lexi was in coma, but her brain was still active and there was brain activity going on which was a good sign. They were keeping her here at County and monitoring her constantly.

(Days Later)

As the days went by they waited for her to come out of the coma. Sam checked on her every day whenever Ray wasn't around.

"I know I've said this before," Sam said as she talked, and tucked the sheets around Lexi," but I'm sorry you had to find out that way, it wasn't fair at all. I sort of don't blame you for not wanting to come back to the real world," she continued," But you've got this tiny little life trying to grow inside of you. You need to wake up for him or her, they're going to need you," she said gently.

(Ray's apartment)

Ray was pouring himself a mug of coffee; he was getting ready to go into work. He felt weird like everyone was always looking at him and blaming him. He actually had plans with Neela tonight. No matter what he did, he couldn't forget her.

Suddenly there was a knock on his front door, he frowned wondering who that could be. He went to the door pulling it open. Standing on the other side was his half brother- Ryan and Lexi's sister- Lily. "Hey guys," he said surprised. "What are you two doing here?"

"We made plans to come visit you guys like months ago," Ryan reminded his older brother.

"Yeah," Lily said," Where's Lex at? I left her a voicemail a few days ago. "

Ray sighed softly," There's a lot you two don't know," he said, stepping aside to let the teens in.
