Alvin is up in the gallery holding the intercom button so he can hear whats going on in the OR.
"CT shows a large epidurum subdural, I need to get in there." Dr. Sheperd says putting on gloves and walking towards Emily's head which is prepped for surgeory.
He asks for the ten blade and Alvin feels his fingers twitch on the button.
Dr. Bailey steps up and starts preparing for her portion of the surgeory with Hunt standing on the other side.
Alvin feels his hand cramp and the room starts to spin. He lets go of the button to grab the wall. His stomach is doing flips. This should not be happening. Not to her. Why her?
"Sit down Wheeler you gonna give yourself a hernia." He hears a voice say from behind him as he feels a hand on his shoulder.
"What do you want Frost?" Alvin says turning around and seeing Jack standing behind him with a sueture kit in his hand.
"Webber wont let me in on the opperation. Says some one needs to be looking after you. So I'm doin my job. Sit down and let me take care of you forehead."
Jack takes the hand that is on Alvin's shoulder and guides him to his seat. Alvin reluctantly sits down.
After a few minutes Jack finishes his exam of Alvin's laceration and proceeds to clean it and stitch it up.
Bailey and Sheperd begin their opperation and cut in with their scalpels.
"So who is she?" Jack asks "What?" Alvin asks back "Who's the girl? I'm new here and I dont know many people. I'm just wondering who she is. Why is she so specail?" Jack say putting the first stitch on Alvin's cut.
"Thats Emily Ann. Shes my wife." Alvin says choking back tears at the last part.
Jack looks at Alvin and falls silent. He puts on three more stitches before he puts his kit away.
Jack places a hand on Alvin's shoulder and whispers a I'm sorry. He leaves Alvin sitting in the Gallery with the last three words he spoke still hanging in his mind.
Down below in the OR, Hunt and Bailey are piling in lap pads trying to stop the bleeding while Sheperd has found the subdural.
Alvin gets up and goes over to the intercom and presses the button just in time to hear Hunt say "She needs time to recuperate. If we dont pack her and get out now she'll bleed to death. Get set up for a temporal abdominal closure."
One of the residents he learned to be April kepner turns to Bailey and asks "So what happens now?"
Bailey turns to kepner and says "We get her up to the ICU and see if she lives for the next 24 hours. If she makes it we go in again."
The cheif yells "I want a doctor with her at all times."
Alvin breathes a sigh of releif. She made it through this surgeory. They are gonna go back in when she's stronger. Shell be stronger.
Alvin sits down on the seat closest to him. "She's my wife." He whispers "She's my wife."
