AN: So, I know it's been a long time between chapters, so I'm gonna make it up to you guys by not making this fic too long. Enjoy the conflict between Ray and Gallant, and the surprise I have in store for you is shocking. Bwahahahahaha. Okay… make this a mini chapter.

County General, December 15th, 11pm

"Like hell you are, this doesn't concern you." said Ray in anger, then he realized that Mike had no idea what was going on and he shouldn't even be back in the states yet.

"Look rock star, I know you looked after Neela while I was gone, but she's my girlfriend." said Gallant

"Hey! Both of you, no arguing. Gallant, you go into the waiting room, Ray, come with me I need your help." said Abby

Meanwhile, in trauma room 1

"Where the hell is that ultrasound?" shouted Luka

"Coming. Her leg is a mess, but her breathing is back to normal on room air. Wonder how many floors she fell." said Sam

"Only God knows, well, God and the little boy she saved.' said Luka

Standing just outside the trauma room, Raywas holding back tears. Abby put her hand on his shoulder and tried to calm him down.

"Ray, she's gonna make it through this. She and the baby are gonna be fine." said Abby

"I was going to ask her to marry me. Why the hell did she go in the building, why didn't anyone stop her?"asked Ray

"The little boy that was missing, she saved him. Ray, just relax, tell you what, go to the break room and get some rest. I'll come get you when they take her up to surgery." said Abby and Debenko ran past them

"Abby, I can't rest. Not until she's awake." said Ray

Meanwhile, outside in the ambulance bay.

"What the hell is his problem?"asked Michael

"He cares more for Neela than you think. I called you home because you needed to know she was hurt, but how the hell did you get here so fast?"asked Greg

"See, that's why I'm here. I never left the states, I went up to Maryland, to see someone, I came back to tell Neela the truth. When I got off the plane, I listened to your message and came straight here." said Michael

"Wait, you lied about getting deployed? What the hell is wrong with you, how could you lie to her like that, to all of us?"asked Greg

"It's a long story, but I had my reasons to lie, I could tell her the truth right then. I brought someone with me, for you to meet, she should be here in a few minutes." said Michael

As if on cue, a light skinned woman walked around the corner carrying two coffees, and wearing a very large diamond on her left hand, she walked up and kissed Gallant on the lips.

"Greg Pratt, meet my wife, Anya Gallant, baby, this is my friend I was telling you about." said Michael

Greg just stared at them both; Gallant really was a lying bastard.

"Nice to meet you, Mike, can I talk to you alone for a minute man?"asked Greg

"Sure, baby, why don't you go wait inside, we'll be there in a few." said Michael

"How in the hell were you planning on dropping this bomb. What the fuck were you thinking, how long have you been married?"asked Greg

"A little over a year, she's a nurse working at Walter Reed. I had planned on telling Neela, she was really supposed to be a fling before I went back to Anya. It's not that big of a deal." said Michael

He couldn't believe what he was hearing, here he was playing the perfect husband and he had the nerve to act like cheating on both Neela and his wife wasn't that big of a deal. As a response to all the bullshit spewing from the guy's mouth, Greg punched him in the mouth. Twice, knocking him to the ground.

"You don't deserve either one of them, I suggest that you man up and tell your wife the truth, don't worry about Neela, I'll tell her. By the way, the rock star is in love with Neela and she loves him, she doesn't need you in her life anymore. Do yourself a favor and go back to where you were, don't bother her anymore." said Greg as he turned and walked back into the hospital.

With all the drama going on, no one realized Neela's rapid eye movements, or her moving her hand.

"Luka, she's moving. She's awake. Neela, if you can hear me, squeeze my hand." said Sam

She lightly squeezed it and slowly opened her eyes, searching the room for Ray.

"Where is Ray?" mouthed Neela as she tugged at the oxygen mask off of her face.

"Leave that on, you fell down three stories, your leg is a mess. You're going to have to have surgery. But Ray is outside, I'll go get him." said Sam

As she left the room, Neela closed her eyes to drift off under the drug induced sleep of the pain medicine.

I know its short, but at least you're not stuck with a cliff hanger. I'll post again soon, I hope
