Chaz: Yes, I am. I am your queen for a day if you want me too!
Both are laughing, R achel feels at ease with Chaz, in a way she feels that he completely understands her, Carter enters the room.
Carter: Hey you two are u ok? Chaz did you show Rachel everything today?
Rachel: He did yes, thank you for the support with Dr Benfield earlier and
Carter: Oh not to worry, if you want to, you can help at the Carter Center as well. I am sure Elisabeth wouldn't mind and neither would Carrie or Doug, we need every help we can get there!
Rachel looks at him, her face is glowing
Rachel: That would be great! I love to do as many things as possible!
Chaz gets up
Chaz: I am leaving sorry I am so exhausted and falling asleep right away, Rachel see you tomorrow ok? I ll make some notes for you new look. Maybe I should be a stylist instead; with your hair I am thinking grey and khaki!
Chaz laughs, he is tiered.
Carter: Hey don't even think about that, your genes are needed.
Chaz: You need a new pair of jeans boss, just for the record.
Rachel: Me first!
Carter: Hey, watch yourself, my jeans are still
Chaz: Come on, black is so 1980s. You know what? You got yourself an ER-Stylist.
Carter: Get outta here.
Chaz: I will. Rachel you have Doctor Carter now for company! I am going to nap a bit at home and then I ll make a list for you, maybe for you as well boss.
Rachel: Thank you and don't forget I need a new pair of shoes for Elisabeth's home warming party as well so high heels...
Chaz: Nope, Saturday 10 am and you wish you hadn't asked me believe me.
Rachel laughs: We are taking Elisabeth credit card for the shopping trip together; she still owes me something nice for my birthday.
Chaz smiles: Bye, crazy girl. I am glad you decided to come here; I needed a new friend...
Rachel: Me too!
Chaz hugs her dearly realizing that he just found an amazing friend for life.
Chaz turns away and leaves
Chaz: Bye Doctor Carter!
Carter: Good night Chaz, drive safely.
Chaz from outside: Don't worry, I am taking the train!
Carter: Good for you and even better!
Rachel and Carter are alone, its dark in the room, the halls are empty Carter makes himself comfortable on a sofa, yawning, lounging on the sofa
Carter: I have known you since you were Marks little girl, I was
Rachel interrupts him: I know, you were the only one that recognized me today besides Frank I mean, I was nearly offended by that, I thought they forgot me.
Carter yawns: They were just busy saving lives.
Rachel: I realize that now! My god this was a long day, the interview, meeting you and the others, reminds me of a lot of memories.
Carter: You look like Mark and you were an exceptional child always listening, you inherited your father's talent, you are a lot like him and Elisabeth taught you loads of thing from what I can see, want some coffee?
Rachel smiles: Tea please!
Carter: Really? Do you really drink black tea?
Rachel: Elisabeth influence!
Carter gives her the tea their hands meet and Rachel let the tea fall on her legs
Carter: I am sorry I am so clumsy; I worked a double shift because when I came home I couldn't sleep so I showered met Carrie and got back to work, here get changed, we have to cool that immediately.
Their faces meet and there is magic in the air.
Rachel whispering, butterflies in her stomach
Rachel: You know I had a crush on you when I was 13.
Carter without a voice and loads of questions in his eyes:
Carter:You did?
Rachel: I did and I d
Rachel kisses Carter on his lips. Carter looks at her and kisses her back, what follows is the longest kiss in ER history
Rachel out of breath: Wow!
Carter: Wow, this is amazing I mean I didn't kiss
Rachel grins: Let's do it again!
An there it is a second kiss
Carter: You re wonderful but we shouldn't do that. I am your boss, your father was my boss and my teacher and you
Rachel: We should, I am 22, forgot that?
Carter: But I am your teacher now and you don't know a lot of things and you are Marks little girl and Elisabeth is your, she is...
Rachel sits back on the large sofa lying in his arms:
Rachel: You were my age when we met the first time! I remember that clearly, you had to show me everything because Mark asked you to and you did it because you needed a break and I loved listening to you, you were so patient at that age and your eyes glowed because I was fascinated by everything!
Carter: I remember and I loved it, I. After that I thought that I might go into teaching
Rachel: I am sure you that a lot of the guys working her were proud to be your students
Rachel tries to kiss Carter again
Carter: Stop Rachel, the Centre is named after the son I had with another woman, a child. Rachel this is so
Rachel stops and looks at him: Was she special?
Carter smiles: Our son was! I don't know about her anymore. I met her yesterday and she was cold like ice, she didn't call me although she promised, she never forgave me that I couldn't save Joshua, he was special but there was no way that he was able to survive, I accepted that, she was never been able to. So yes, he was special.
Rachel: That wasn't my question!
Carter: I know, I think and yesterday I would have said yes, Cam was special but now I am not so sure because this kiss was so fantastic and , because
Rachel: Because I am the one Carter, I was always the one.
Carter smiles at her
Carter: You are a very wise lady for your age, little miss Doctor Greene. Maybe I should accept that.
Rachel: Do you feel good? I mean
Carter: I feel more alive than I have in years. You make me feel
Rachel: See
Carter: I had a kidney transplant, you know what that means, I could
Rachel: It means that you live, live a normal life. I was brought up by one doctor, had one as a father and now I am one as well. I know that his means, it means you are going to live.
Rachel opens his shirt and kisses his long scar; she goes on opening his trousers
Carter interrupts her: Wait, what are you doing?
Rachel whispering: Studying your anatomy very carefully!
Carter: You should, whooo this feels great ...
Rachel: Is that good?
Carter: If you would know...
Rachel smiles: I know, I already did what I am about to do so don't worry. College was a very good learning experience and so was university. I practise a lot before I am doing the real thing so how about this...
Rachel kisses his hands, goes over to his neck and sits on his lap
Carter: Hey, wait! Is your shift over yet? Do you have a shift yet?
Rachel grins: Yeah, why?
Carter: Because I didn't spend all the money I have on the Carter Centre and we are at work and I think I want to have you but not here because, this should be
Rachel slides down his lap and Carter takes her hand
Carter: Let's go Miss Greene but don't say I warned you!
Rachel: I can't wait to explore your body further.
In the ER
Jerry: Morris kid with abdominal pain coming behind curtain 1
Morris: I ll take it!
Doug: Coming as well, hey I need some practise!
Morris: Who are you?
Doug: Doug Ross, head of paediatrics in the new Carter Centre!
Morris: Archie Morris, pleasure!
Doug: Cubs or White Sox?
Morris: White Sox?
Doug: He is my man...
The 2 man smiling at each other and have and instant connection
1 hour later at Carters penthouse
Carter: I am your teacher Rachel. I will be and you
Carter draws little hearts on Rachel's body
Rachel: Yes but only in some areas John!
Carter: Hey, I
Rachel: How are you feeling? Ok?
Carter: Hey I am not sick anymore, I am ok, really. Don't treat me like a patient!
Rachel: Good than you are going to make us some eggs,
Carter: Eggs
Rachel: Yes, Eggs Benedict with ham please and some toast with a little butter and strawberry jam and maybe some baked beans as well!
Carter is picking up the phone, ordering what Rachel had just described as her favourite meal!
Rachel: Snob!
Carter: No, that's just easier and so we have more time to do certain things.
Carter kisses Rachel again and again
Rachel: This is great you know!
Rachel looks into his eyes
Carter: Elisabeth, Rachel, I can't really lie to her.
Rachel: Elisabeth doesn't need to know, not right now!
Carter: I am your teacher, your father was my teacher, I am 15 years older this isn't a game and easy and I am worried you know.
Rachel: Shshsh, I am here and I have never felt like this before and you haven't either if you are completely honest!
Carter: How do you know that?
Rachel: I am not stupid and your body told me what I need to know!
Carter blushes realizing what Rachel just implied
Carter: Oh my god do you, I mean we didn't
Rachel: If I should get pregnant we are going to talk but now!
Carter: I am, Rachel I
Rachel: You lost one son but you won't lose another one. Hey it's me and I am not a little girl!
Carter: It's too early, this morning
Rachel: Then stop worrying, I know about birth control, I think you are a great man John Carter and I love you, I mean I really love you!
Carter: I love you too and I never have said that, I mean not
Rachel: We have known each other longer than
Carter: Not in this way!
Rachel: We will figure that out, your next challenge is to keep quiet and buy a comfortable couch for your office in the Carter Center!
Carter: I ll try and I will...
Rachel: I always studied a lot and
Carter looks at her and suddenly he makes a decision
Carter: Stay here! This is a big house, too big to live here alone!
Rachel: That would be great...
Carter: We are going to tell Elisabeth that you are staying because this is nearer to the hospital than your place and
Rachel: Of course
Carter: You are not going to leave in case it gets complicated, promise me that!
Rachel: I wanted to be back, I am done complicated, I grew up very fast...
Carter: Oh my god, you are so wonderful!
Rachel: No you are...
