A/N: Thank you to everyone that is reading this story and left a review. I had to update one of my other stories but once that was done I came right back to this. Let me know what you think.

Running late was something Christina was always on time for and today was no exception.

Waking up from the most restful sleep she had in weeks Christina opened her eyes and found she had a new yearning for life. Today she felt like anything was possible. That feeling was mostly due to her dreams of Tom. She found that many of her dreams last night included him. Some dreams were sweet, some where silly, and the last ones she had of him were down right erotic. She didn't even know her mind could conjure up the things they were doing.

Each time she closed her eyes Tom would appear. Whispering words of love,desire, and his need for her to be his. The words he spoke felt so real and so right. She wanted the moments between them to last so she keep hitting her snooze button over and over again. It wasn't until she rolled over and saw what time it was that it was one hit too many. Jumping out of bed and not watching where she was going she almost tripped over her covers.

"Oh Shit! Camille! Wake up honey! We're running late!"

Camille heard her mother calling her and slowly cracked open an eye. Barely awake, Camille got up out of bed and walked into her mothers room. She instantly woke up when she saw her mother running around the room like a chicken with it's head cut off.

"Mom! Calm down. It's Saturday. I don't have school today. It's just you running late. Wait? Don't you go in late today?"

Christina only caught part of what her daughter said. She was still in a rush to get ready.

"Nope. There is a surgery today and I'm supposed to meet the husband and the wife to go over the procedure with the surgeon performing it."

Seeing her mom was getting no where fast, Camille decided to help her mom out.

"Mom, why don't you let me help you get ready by picking out an outfit while you go hop in the shower."

"Oh my god. Thank you sweetie." Christina said kissing her daughter on the cheek then running in to the bathroom.

Camille walked over to her mother's closet and began looking through her wardrobe. Many of the outfits she saw she didn't like. A lot of them made her mother look like an old maid. She never understood why her mother liked to cover up so much with a body like hers.

As Camille sorted through her mothers tired wardrobe she suddenly remembered that her mother was supposed to tell her what song it was that Tom chose for her.

"Mom! Hey mom!"

When she didn't get an answer she walked over to the bathroom and cracked open the door a little so her mother could hear her.

"Mom!"

"Yeah!" Christina yelled over the water."

"What song did Tom pick for you?"

"What?"

"What song did Tom pick for you?"

"Oh! The song. It was Cupid by 112."

"Wow! I'm impressed." Camille said finally find an outfit that she liked.

"Me too. I love that song."Christina said.

"I didn't think Tom listened to R&B. Doesn't seem like his style." Camille said.

Christina shut off the water and started to take a step out of the shower and answer Camille when she almost lost her footing and started to fall back.

Camille heard her mother scream in the shower and rushed inside to make sure she was ok.

"Mom! Are you all right?"

Christina having good reflexes was able to grab on to the shower door to help keep her steady.

"Yeah,I'm fine but...whoo...that was close."

"Well take it easy lady. I'd hate to have to call 911. I don't think you wanna arrive to work on a stretcher." Camille said throwing her mom a towel.

"No, I don't." Christina said catching it.

"Your clothes are on the bed. Can you make it out of the shower ok or do I need to help you out?" Camille said with a smirk.

"Ha Ha. I'll be fine smart ass."

Camille chuckled. "Just checking mom. I'll make you one of the breakfast sandwiches while you get dressed. You have 10 minutes."

"Gotcha."

Christina walked out of the bathroom and started to dry off but paused when she saw what Camille picked out for her to wear to work.

It was a white shirt long sleeve button down blouse with a pair of black dress pants. The blouse she remembered was a little tight but accented certain parts of her anatomy that she usually tried to keep hidden. The one time she did wear it though, she remembered a certain doctor couldn't keep his eyes on her. She chuckled at the memory of when she had to remind him where her eyes where and he told her he knew exactly where her eyes where and they were just as beautiful as what he was looking at.

"Good choice Camille." Christina said looking at the shirt.

A few minutes later Christina was dressed and ready to go. She stopped in her study and got the cd for Tom off her laptop then walked over to table by the door and grabbed her keys off of it then called out to Camille she was leaving.

"Wait mom!" Camille said running out of the kitchen.

"What's up? Christina asked.

"Nothing. Except your breakfast and are you gonna tell me what song you chose for Tom?" Camille asked as she handed her mother the breakfast sandwich she made.

Christina grabbed the sandwich and took a bite.

"Mmmm. Thank you baby and no." Christina said.

"C'mon mom. I think you owe me. I did tell you about the cd. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have known it was even here."

Christina sighed and then relented.

"Ok. I do owe you I guess. But, I'm only gonna tell you who the singer is. You'll have to figure out the song on your own."

"Oooo! A challenge. Alright, I'm ready."

"It's Alanis Morrisette."

Camille looked he mother and scrunched up her face.

"Mom!" Camille said with her arms crossed.

"What!" Christina said.

"Why on earth would you chose an Alanis Morrisette song? I mean she sang for every woman that was angry in the 90's. You wouldn't do that unless..." Camille sighed and she started to feel angry at the conclusion she came to. "unless you were going to call it quits with Tom for good. That's it isn't! You're gonna tell Tom you're kicking him to the curb. God! Mom! Don't do this!"

Christina looked at her daughter and smiled. She wasn't mad at Camille and her outburst. She just didn't understand Christina's reasoning.

"Camille, calm down. I need to set things straight with you and then maybe you will get what I'm doing. One, I'm not kicking Tom to the curb. I'm doing the exact opposite. I'm going to try and get him back. But before I do that, he needs to understand somethings about me before we move forward. The song I chose will help with that. At least I hope it will."

"Yeah, but Alanis?"

"Don't sleep on Miss Morrisette. She has some very profound things to say in her songs. Even the angry ones. I jammed out to them many times when your dad and I would have arguments. They actually calmed me down because she was saying things that I needed to hear. They were a sounding board for the anger I was feeling. This song however, is a far cry from those feelings and I hope Tom hears the message in it. "

Camille looked at her mother and saw the fear in her eyes. She instantly felt bad for jumping to conclusions. Instead of making her mother feel confident in her choice of song, she realized that she just planted a seed of doubt in her mom, and knowing her mother like she did, it would take root as soon as she left the house.

"I'm sorry mom. I shouldn't have yelled. If you say this song is the right one,then I believe you. And, Tom's a smart guy, he'll totally get what you are saying. Now how are you going to get it to him?"

Christina was about to say how when her phone started to ring.

"Hello? Hey Bobbi! Yes, I'm running a little behind. Story of my life. Oh...ok. I'll be there in 10 minutes. Yeah, I'll drive the speed limit. It's 80 right? Just kidding. See you soon. Bye."

"Everything ok?"

"Yeah. She was just letting me know that the surgery was postponed until later this afternoon."

"So you woke up early for nothing?"

"Nah, it just means that I have more time to get things ready and not run around like a crazy woman."

"You mean like you do on a normal day?"

"Oh, I'm raising a comedian."

"I'm here all week. Try the veal."

They both laughed.

"Ok. I gotta go. Thanks for the meal."

"Wait! How are you gonna get the cd to Tom?"

"I don't know yet Camille. I will figure it out. I gotta go. Gimme me a kiss."

"Good luck mom." Camille said then kissed her mother's cheek.

"Thanks baby. Love you and I'll see you tonight. I left you twenty bucks for pizza and since you helped me in a big way yesterday... Marcus can come over too."

"Mom, you so rock." Camille squealed.

"Just remember that the next time I piss you off. Ok, really gotta go."

"Ok, See you mom."

Ten minutes and a broken speed limit later Christina arrived at the hospital.

She walked in through the ER to go and try to find Bobbi before she headed upstairs to her office.

Bobbi walked out of Curtain #4 with one of the ER doctor's who told her to call for a Neuro consult with Dr. Navarro.

She walked over to the nurse's station and started to page when she saw Christina. She waived to Christina who waived back then started to walking over to her friend.

"Hey!" Christina said.

Bobbi held up her finger telling Christina to hold on.

"Hello, I'm paging for a Neuro consult with Dr. Navarro. What do you mean he's not here? Well, who's on call? Ok, no problem can you page him? Thank you."

"That's the third time Navarro's done that. I'm gonna talk to his boss about that." Christina said.

Bobbi waived it off. "It's ok. Navarro's got no bed side manner anyway. His replacement is much better."

"Oh yeah? Who is it?"

"Tom." Bobbi nonchalantly.

Bobbi looked over to her friend to gage her friends response to hearing Tom's name. She noticed Christina tried to hide her excitement at hearing it.

"Oh...well...then...you're right. Tom is a much better choice then Navarro."

"Uh huh. How are things with you two?" Bobbi asked.

"They are...or could be..looking up." Christina said with a smile.

"Really? Do tell." Bobbi said.

Christina then explained to Bobbi all about the cd and the note that Tom left her. How listening to the song he sent her made her realize her feelings for him and that maybe the door wasn't closed on their crazy relationship.

Bobbi smiled at her friend and how happy she looked while telling her the story. It was nice to know that she played a small part in all of this.

Christina looked at her friend when she finished telling her story and noticed the goofy grin on Bobbi's face and that she didn't really seem all that surprised at what she was saying. That seemed a bit off.

"Bobbi? Did you know what Tom was planning?"

"Um...no." Bobbi said.

Bobbi could lie about a lot of things, questions about her leg over the years helped her perfect the technique, but for some reason, she couldn't lie to Christina. Somehow the woman always saw through it.

"You're lying. You knew." Christina said pointing a accusing finger at her.

"Ugh! Fine. Ok. I knew. Sue me. Please don't be mad."

Christina rolled her eyes then smiled.

"Like I could ever be mad at you for long. You're my best friend. Just tell me this? Who came up with the idea?"

"Oh, it was all Tom."

"And the song?"

Bobbi looked smiled. "I may have helped out in that department but the rest was all him. Don't tell him I told you that."

Bobbi got serious for a moment before she spoke again.

"He really does love you Christina. And he wants you back more than anything."

Christina nodded.

"I know."

"Good. Because you two are just stupid without each other." Bobbi said.

Christina laughed.

"I know that too."

"Now, tell me my stupid friend, what song did you pick for the handsome Dr. Wakefield?"

"Not you too. I got an earful from Camille when I told her who the singer was."

"She didn't like it?"

"No."

"Well, let me be the judge of that. Lay it on me."

When Bobbi saw that Christina was still reluctant to tell her she told her to text it to her.

Christina quickly grabbed her phone and texted the song title and singer to Bobbi who got it a few seconds later.

Christina stood still while she watched Bobbi mull over the song she chose.

"Well, do you think Camille's right and it's the wrong song?"

Bobbi shook her head no.

"Nah, I know why you chose it. It fits you and the feelings you have for him. Tom may have to listen to it more then once to get the message behind the words but he will. He's a smart guy. Now, the real question is how are you gonna get it to him?"

"That I'm still trying to figure out."

"Where is it?"

"Right here." Christina said patting her pants pocket.

"Well why don't I..."

Bobbi's was about to offer to be the go between for them when paramedics burst through the ER doors with police officers right behind them.

"We got two gun shot wound victims!" they yelled.

Bobbi and Christina ran towards the paramedics with Gail and Steve right behind them.

"Ok people. Let's get them into Curtains 1 and 2." Gail said.

"We got two more coming in!" another nurse yelled.

"Get them into Curtain's 5 and 6." Gail yelled.

"What the hell is going on?" Christina said.

"Gang war."

Christina turned around to see Det. Nick Renata walking towards her.

"Hey Nick! How are you?" Christina said then hugged him.

"I wish I was spending my Saturday having lunch with you than trying to investigate a shooting. Other than that I'm fine."

Christina blushed. Nick was such a charmer.

"Where's Dr. Beautiful? He's not here to save the day?"

Christina laughed. "Dr. Wakefield will be down here shortly for a Neuro consult."

"Hmm. Can't wait." Nick said with a sarcastic grin.

"Behave." Christina said.

"We need some help in here!" Steve yelled.

Nick and Christina ran towards Curtain 5 where Steve was with Bobbi.

They pulled the curtain back and saw that everyone was trying to hold down a guy who could give the Hulk a run for his money. The man was fighting everyone in the room including the cop that had him in a choke hold.

"Bobbi, get the restraints!" Steve yelled.

Nick and Christina jumped in and tried to help hold the patient down while Bobbi ran for the restraints.

"Would you calm down! We are trying to help you!" Christina yelled.

"He can't hear you! The guys as high as kite. He's on meth, crack, and some other stuff. He think's we're trying to kill him." the cop yelled.

"Bobbi! Hurry! We can't hold him much longer!" Christina yelled.

"Let me go!" the man yelled.

"Sir,please stop! You're only making this worse! You've been shot and we need to help you!" Steve said trying to get through to him.

The next few seconds happened in slow motion and no one saw it coming.

Somehow the man was able to get one hand free and knocked over one the nurses holding him down. He used his free hand and pushed down Steve who was holding down his other arm.

The officer went to go for his tazer and loosed his grip some around the man's neck. The man took advantage and was able to wiggle his way out of the officers head lock. He then reached into the waist band of his pants.

Nick saw this and started to go for the guys hands but it was too late.

Pow!

Bobbi ran back with the restraints and then heard a popping sound. She turned the corner and that's when she saw Christina's body fall to the floor.

"Christina!" Bobbi yelled then ran to her friend.

"Oh god! We need help!" Nick yelled.

Gail ran out Curtain 2 and she almost fell over when she saw Christina on the floor bleeding. She quickly came back to her senses when she heard them still struggling with the man in the curtain.

"Bobbi! Bobbi! Give me those restraints and help Christina."

Bobbi barely heard Gale but passed on the restraints to her.

"Christina! Hold on! Please hold on. Someone help me! Help me!" Bobbi yelled.

Two nurses ran over with a ER doctor right behind them. They picked up Christina's limp body and put her on gurney and rolled over to the next curtain and started their work.
