Hi Everyone! Thank you all for the reviews. I was not expecting that much of a reaction from just 3 chapters! Thank you, I really appreciate it.
So Jules has put the ball in Johnny's court. She wants him to step up. She's moving on and Johnny doesn't like it. They are trying to avoid each other at all costs…what if now they can't?
What if the one thing that is keeping them apart brings them together?
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Chapter 5- Accident
She closed her eyes and tried to hold down her emotions. She couldn't do it much longer. With him being this close and their truths coming out, she couldn't hold back her feelings. She may have wanted to stand her ground and be treated like she deserved, but she still loved him, she couldn't deny that.
It wasn't a second before his lips came crashing down on hers, releasing the pent up tension between them in the only way he knew how. Talking wasn't working, so he had to do something.
She froze for a minute before realizing what was happening and tried cupping his face to turn the control to her but he wasn't having it. It was way too long he hasn't been able to touch her, weeks now, at least a month or two.
He quickly pinned her arms down by the wrists and traced the opening of her mouth with the tip of his tongue. She really tried hard not to moan, biting down on his bottoms lip because it was the only thing she could do.
Jules moaned into the kiss moving her legs slightly. He could sense that she wanted more, he wanted more. He has been waiting for this for months.
The hand on her face slithered down towards her bum. His hands squeezed before hoisting her upwards, pressing her against the door with his groin.
Jules was losing her mind. She couldn't help but lose herself into him.
Johnny groaned, he had never been this excited by a kiss before, he missed her so much. Grinding his hips against her core they both whimpered, he was so close yet so far from his goal. Breaking away from her mouth he let his mouth wander downwards, leaving a hot trail of saliva down her neck. He nipped at the flesh just above her collar bone.
Feeling her legs wrap around him, Johnny couldn't help but smirk. He moved his hands over the flesh of her thighs as he pushed the skirt of her dress higher up her legs, revealing more skin.
They couldn't help but melt into each other. It was second nature. It was only when Johnny cupped her face and really looked at her, it gave her time to come to her senses.
"Oh my God," she pulled away, wiping her hands on her face, cradling her head. "I can't do this. Oh my God, what am I doing?" she was mind wrapped. She couldn't think straight.
"Jules, I don't want you to over think this. Just feel, please. We are right for each other. We feel right with each other. We can do this, please. We can work through this" he tried to reason with her.
Jules let out a breath and crossed her arms across her chest. "Johnny I would love nothing more than to walk out of those doors and kiss you like I mean it. Hold your hand and tell the whole world that we love each other but we can't. You won't do it. I love you. Do you understand that, I love you. I need you to step up and love me. Love me the way I deserve to be loved, please…" she gave him one teary kiss before walking out, wiping her tears on her way.
She walked over to the group and put on a fake smile. "Thank you Connor for tonight. I had a great time on our date. Guys, I will see you all later, I am going to go home, I don't feel too good" she said before leaving, not giving them a chance to ask any questions.
She couldn't handle their questions tonight.
Johnny couldn't help it. He couldn't do it anymore. He needed her in his life and he was determined to do anything he could to get her back.
Jules needed a mental break. She needed a break from her family and romantic life. She threw herself into work. Literally threw herself into work. As if throwing herself into the ED wasn't enough, she signed up for life squad.
She and her sister were signed up to go with the ambulance from the hospital to the trauma scenes. To say that their brothers weren't happy about it, was an understatement.
The sisters were huddled back in the trauma locker room trying to talk their brothers out of having panic attacks.
"Andy you need to relax. We are going to be fine. It's just like being on Squad. You get extra trained and everything. We know what we are doing" Juliana tried to explain.
"Stephanie what the hell where you thinking going along with all this? You are the older sister; you are supposed to be the responsible one. What the hell is going on over there?" he yelled through the phone.
Stephanie looked at her sister and laughed, "Andy you need to relax before you have a stroke. We are going to be fine. Me and Jules know what we are doing. We got picked for this from everyone in the hospital. This is a good thing. It'll be good training and experience" she tried to reason with him.
"Experience my ass. Mike are you going to say anything?" Andy argued with his brother.
Mike just laughed at his brother, "Andy, Steph's right. You need to relax. Come on man, we take risks all the time. It's about time we let our sisters go do what they know how to do. Come on, they know what they are doing. They'll kick ass at this" Mike said.
"Great, now I am being out numbered" Andy started before letting out a stressed breath, "Okay fine, go do this trauma squad thing. But I swear if either of you do anything stupid, I am going to kick your ass myself" he said.
Mike laughed, "Go and be brilliant guys. Don't stress. You guys are going to do great. Call us if you need us" Mike said before hanging up. He just looked at the phone and shook his head. He knew this was happening because Juliana needed a change of pace. He just hoped his sister's would be okay. He knew the stupid things his trauma's caused him to do, he only hoped theirs were a little tamer.
Stephanie and Juliana hung up the phone and changed into their gear. They were excited. Jules more so than Stephanie. She needed this change of pace.
"Hey, no matter what I want you to be careful okay," Stephanie said, "I know this is about Johnny, but I want you to know that I am here for you and I will always be for you" she added.
Jules smiled and nodded and wrapped her sister into a hug. "Thank you for doing this for me" she replied.
They were excited. They got called to their first trauma. Someone was strung out on drugs and they needed a trauma consult. They don't know anything else about the patient's condition.
They were in the ambulance on the call when Stephanie started to bring up the Johnny situation. "Okay, so are you going to tell me what happened with you and Johnny yesterday after the date at Molly's?" Stephanie asked.
"Are you serious? We have a patient here" Jules tried to change the subject.
"Yes, a patient who is unconscious and has no idea where he is right now" Stephanie replied.
Jules let out a breath of relief. She wished her sister would just drop it. Stephanie had been dropping hints about what happened all day. She wanted to know what happened with her sister and Johnny after the date.
She noticed them walk back into the storage closet and saw the reaction on her sisters face when she walked out.
"We kissed. Like really really kissed. It was like a whirlwind. I don't know how to feel anymore. I mean he tells me he loves me and then I get pulled back into the emotions of us and then he doesn't want us to be real. I don't know how I am supposed to deal with that" she said, balling up her gloves in a tight fist. "I am such an idiot. I played second string for 6 months" she added.
Jules thought it would make her feel better when she finally let it out. She knew she needed to talk and who better than your sister. The kiss felt so real yesterday and the emotions were so strong. It only made the hurt hit her more than anything else.
"That's official, tomorrow night, we are having a girl's night. We are going to get wasted and forget about all our problems for one night" Stephanie said as they packed away the gauze.
Jules helped the patient step out of the ambulance and sent him on his way. Jules laughed, "I think that drinks would be good. I could use a night to let loose" she said.
"Yeah that was implied" Stephanie stated.
Jules was going to say something when they all of sudden heard a blaring horn. They turned to tried to find the source of the sound. It was getting louder like it was getting closer. She turned to the doors of the ambo and saw some sort of large vehicle coming towards them before something jarred the ambo and they went flying. She heard her sister gasp and froze.
She flew into the opposite wall of the ambo and knew she hit her head. She didn't feel anything after that. Everything went black.
Stephanie came back to consciousness slowly and painfully. Her head hurt so bad it felt like her brain was swimming freely in her head, not even attached to her body. She blinked her vision gradually coming back. She looked around trying to take in the scene. She was laying on the floor, covered in gauze and bandages. It was like a hurricane hit them.
"Jules" she called her sister as she struggled into a sitting position. She groaned in pain trying to move one leg and when she looked up, she realized she was trapped under the gurney.
"Jules" she tried again. She gripped the seat in front of her trying to pull herself up. She tried to look around to look for her sister. She was trying to remember what happened.
"Jules" she called out for the first time, finally freeing herself and making her way towards the back of the truck.
She nearly fell over upon seeing her sister's body strewn across the floor like a rag doll. That wasn't her sister, it couldn't be.
She saw her sister's hand and wrist beneath the trauma jacket and she knew it was her sister. She still had her saint's bracelet, with St. Florian and St. Damian on her wrist.
"Jules? Jules?" she scrambled quickly towards her sister, as much as she could with a bad leg, panic making her scramble.
"Julia, please…" she reached for her sister's arms, checking for her pulse. It was a minute before she felt the thump thump beneath her fingers. It was slow, but it was there. That was all that mattered.
Carefully, she reached down, straightening her sister's bloody and bruised face that had been lying to the side, smashed by the metal cabinet, so she could look into the woman's eyes.
"Oh baby, please" she pulled Jules eyes, panicking finding them unresponsive, but when she took a minute, she saw the pupil for form wide to narrow as she removed her hand.
"You're going to be okay Jules" she whispered, swallowing her fears and holding onto the tiny fact that at least her pupils responded to light. There was brain activity. That was something.
Sirens filled her ears and Stephanie became aware that an ambo was coming towards them. Help was coming. She reached up and wiped her forehead. Noticing the blood.
She looked down at her sister and saw that her face was covered in blood. The right half of her face looked like it has been splashed with red paint. The other half already sported dark purple bruises around her eyes and cheek.
She didn't realize she was repeating her sister's name over and over until an EMT appeared at her side.
"Juliana" Stephanie chocked out at once. She felt her chest constrict, and she knew it has nothing to do with her own injuries. She couldn't feel her own injuries. It was probably the adrenaline coursing through her.
The EMT's strapped her in braces and bandages and loaded her onto a stretcher. She limped along beside them and managed to squeeze her way into the ambulance. She could hear the EMT around her reciting vitals and what they were doing with her, but she couldn't hear it. She couldn't keep her eyes off her sister. That as her baby sister.
She leaned down and pressed a kiss on her hand, "I promise you'll be alright. I swear I am not going anywhere Jules. I am not leaving you. I promise that I will always be there for you" she held her sisters hand.
She couldn't lose her sister. She would not be able to function if something bad happened to her sister. She couldn't lose her sister. She couldn't go on without her little sister.
Despite her own injuries, Stephanie wasn't leaving her sister. She grabbed onto the side of the gurney and raced with them into the ED. She couldn't stop. She couldn't leave her sister.
"BP is 180 over 100" the EMT announced, "pulse of 56, respirations is 10 and irregular" they yelled to the doctors.
"Her pupils are unequal but she responded to light on the scene" Stephanie added.
These were here people. They knew her and her sister. They would take care of her. They wouldn't let anything happen to her.
"Is she allergic to any medication?" Connor asked as they wheeled her to the closest bed.
"No" Stephanie replied, forcing herself to stop. The gurney was yanked away from her as they pulled her sister away for treatment. She didn't know what to do. Lucky for her, when the accident happened, an alert went out to the nearest firehouse and hospital. When Main dispatch found out who was hurt, they started the phone calls.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
She called her brothers first…
Andy was first. Andy was at the firehouse, packing up, getting ready to head home when his phone rang with Stephanie's ringtone.
"Hey Steph, how was the dynamic duo? Did you kick some ass?" Andy asked.
"Andy" she tried to keep her emotions in check to get the message across but Andy knew something was wrong the minute she said his name.
"What happened? What's wrong?" he asked. He was on high alert.
" Andy..." she cried for a minute, "there was an accident" was all she needed to say before her brother jumped into action.
"Stephanie what happened? Are you at the hospital? Is Jules okay?" he asked grabbing his keys, already half way out the door.
"Andy we were in an accident. Jules got hurt. I need you at the hospital" she said as she let out a sob.
Andy froze, he literally froze. Every nerve in his body was firing. He was running on adrenaline. His sisters needed him and he needed to get there as soon as possible.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Mike was next. Mike was walking out of the locker room after changing out of his uniform and storing his gun, walking out of the PD when he got Andy's call.
"Hey Andy what's up?" Mike asked his brother.
"Mike you need to get to the hospital. Steph just called. Something happened and the girls were in an accident. Jules got hurt really bad. I don't know any more but I am on my way to Med right now, Stephanie is all alone and she needs us. Call dad and let him know. I will meet you at the hospital" Andy informed him.
Mike was in overload. He was trying to process what his brother just said. Finally, he realized that his sisters were hurt and he needed to be there for them.
"Okay, I'll call dad and let him know. Keep me updated okay. I'll meet you at the hospital" he said before jumping into action.
The phone call to his dad was horrible. Mike knew he had to keep in check and just relay what he knew and he didn't know much. His dad freaked. He couldn't even comprehend what he heard. It was the second hardest phone call he had to make, the first being when his mom died. After calling his dad, he rushed to the hospital. He needed to get there before something worse happened to his sister.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Andy got to the hospital first out of his family. He barely had the car in park before he was running across the parking lot and literally flew in to the hospital.
"Stephanie" Andy called his sister when he saw her at the desk. He could see blood trailing down her legs and she was bruised and scraped up.
"Andy" she sagged against him, relieved that she didn't have to deal with this all alone anymore.
Andy held his sister up and helped her over to the chairs. "What happened?" he asked.
"We were just talking and restocking the ambo when we got hit. I don't even know how it happened. All of a sudden I wake up and see the ceiling and Jules is unresponsive. I couldn't get her to wake up" she sobbed.
Andy wrapped his arm around his sister and held her tight. "Hey, it's going to be okay. They are going to take care of her" he tried to keep his own fears hidden and focus on the positive.
"We have to call Mike and dad" she said after a minute.
"I already called Mike and told him to call dad. They are on their way, probably with everyone else. Don't worry about it" he reassured her.
As Andy said, it wasn't long before her brother came flying into the ER, the rest of their friends and family behind them.
When she saw her dad, she felt fresh tears form all over again. She left her brothers side and wrapped herself around her father, needing to absorb her dad's strength for the time being.
Kelly smiled at his daughter. He knew that she needed him. He wrapped his arm around her and rocked her back and forth as if she was a baby in need of comfort. He leaned down and kissed the top of her head.
When she pulled away, he held her at arm's length and looked her over, scanning her from head to toe for injuries. He didn't need to know details of her injuries, he just needed to know that she would be okay. He lost his wife way too early, he couldn't lose one of his kids. It would throw him over the edge.
"It's going to be okay honey; I am here now. You're going to be fine" he reassured her with another hug.
"Dad I am so sorry, I tried to protect her…I tried to get her to wake up…. I tried to wake her up" she cried, dread rushing through his veins the more she described the accident.
"It's okay sweetheart, can you tell me about the accident? What happened?" Kelly asked his daughter.
"We were just talking…the crash…she was so bloody…I can't lose her" she sobbed, not really making much sense.
At that, worry and fear for the worst ran through the veins of the Severide men. They couldn't lose Juliana. Andy and Mike couldn't lose their little sister and Kelly couldn't lose his daughter. It would kill them.
Andy met his father's eyes, worried that something grave happened to his sister. "Hey, come on
Steph, let's get you checked out" he led her away and followed Maggie into an exam room. He needed to do something before he rushed into that exam room and demanded answers about his sister's condition.
Andy was worried. Stephanie wasn't making much sense. She just kept repeating her sisters name over and over again.
It took some convincing but they finally got Stephanie checked out. Will wrapped her leg and got her all cleaned up. They put her in a cast and gave her some crutches to walk around. They were just waiting for news on Jules.
Johnny was having a heart attack. He was going to keel over. He couldn't help it. He was pacing the lobby like a caged animal. He freaked out when he got the call from his brother.
"Johnny, it's Nick. Look, there is no other way to say this, so I am just going to say it straight. Jules is in the hospital, not just as a doctor, but something happened. A tow-truck hit her and Stephanie while they were out on a call. From what I know, Steph is okay but they don't know how Jules is yet. We're in the ER. You need to get here"
Johnny was at the grocery store doing his weekly shopping when he got the call. He froze when he heard the call. He couldn't believe his ears. He froze, the adrenaline coursed through him and he felt the same he did as if he was on a call. He needed to be doing something. He needed to be at the hospital.
Having heard his brother's message, he freaked. He couldn't get to the hospital fast enough. He dropped his grocery bags and ran to the hospital. He couldn't make it there fast enough.
He stopped at the stoplight on the way to the hospital and couldn't help seeing the last time they were together, after her date with Connor. The things that were said. The feel of her against him. It felt right. He couldn't lose her.
He couldn't help but hear those words in the message over and over again.
Jules is in the hospital….
Something happened….
We're in the ER…
He wasn't sure if he was even breathing as he swerved in an out of lanes, driving as fast as he could on the way to the hospital.
God, what if he wasn't fast enough? Would she still be in the ER when he got there? Would she still be alive by the time he arrived?
God, he couldn't even think about losing her. He pressed on the gas and scrambled as he made his way to the hospital.
The loud BANG of the entrance doors slamming against the walls made Nick jump up and made his way towards his brother. Johnny ran into the ER and straight up to his brother. Nick knew that his brother was going to freak out. He met him at the door of the ER.
"Is that her? Is that Jules?" he quickly moved away from the Nick towards the doctors surrounding the gurney in the trauma room. He saw Connor Rhodes working her up and he knew the doctors would take care of her, but he was freaked. He needed to know she was okay.
"Hey, calm down. You need to let them do their job," he pushed his brother back. "Dr. Rhodes is taking care of her. You know he's going to take care of her. Just relax and let them do their job" he started.
"I need to see her Nick. I need to know that she's okay" he protested.
"Hey, listen to me. There is nothing you can do. You need to listen to me and calm down. Take a breather. Just sit and let me tell you what I know" he said pushing his brother into one of the plastic chairs away from the rest of the group.
He needed to fill him in before they met up with everyone else. He needed to get his emotions in check. "Stephanie is okay. We don't know anything about Jules yet. She got hit the worst of it. They are in the exam room with her right now" he said.
He let out a breath and wiped his hands over his face, "what the hell was she doing on the streets? She's supposed to be here in the hospital" he argued.
Nick nodded, "yeah I know okay. She signed up for a trauma life squad or something. Her and Stephanie were out on a call and the accident happened. Stephanie is really out of it, so no one really knows what's going on" he said.
"Well, what are they saying? Is she going to make it?" Johnny finally asked.
Nick looked at his brother sadly. He felt really bad for what he was going to tell him. "We don't know yet" he whispered.
"I can't lose her Nick, I can't…" he couldn't even finish his sentence.
"I know, I know. Come on" Nick led his brother over the group. They were all sitting there, standing around the lobby, on edge. They were sitting on pins and needles, waiting for news on Jules.
Johnny just sat there in those plastic, uncomfortable chairs, away from everyone. He couldn't show his emotions and be around other people. He couldn't deal with the secrets and the lies, not when he was worried about the love of his life. He couldn't live without her. He couldn't lose her.
He couldn't help but see all their good times. Every good moment they had flashed through his head. He remembered the first time they got together.
They had just finished a call and Juliana was called to the ER to take care of him. Johnny and Morgan got hurt in the call.
She stayed with him all night. They wouldn't let her treat him due to their close relationship, so she had to sit in the lobby and wait for news on him.
When she finally did see him, it was like she couldn't stop seeing him. She held vigil at his bedside. Johnny even woke up and turned to look at her asleep on the chair in his room, charts lined up on the hospital table with her covered with her lab coat, holding his hand.
He smiled and reached out to caress her cheek and move some hair back from her face. He smiled as she started stretch and stir.
When she woke up and looked at him and really saw him, awake and well, she smiled up at him. It was when she smiled at him did he know for sure that he was going to fight for her. He knew they were connected and he wanted to be with her.
Johnny knew from that day on that he was interested in her and wanted her in his life. From that point on he couldn't stop thinking of her. She invaded every space in his mind. He thought of her all the time.
Stephanie saw Johnny walk past and sit in the chairs along the wall, away from the rest of the group. She knew what he was going through and she knew what he was thinking. She may have been mad at him for what he was putting her sister through, but she knew that he loved her.
She got up and limped her way over. "Mind if I sit?" she asked.
He looked up through blood shot eyes and nodded towards the empty chair. Stephanie put her crutches down and slowly eased into the chair.
They sat there for God knows how long, not saying anything. Their emotions running haywire. Finally, Stephanie couldn't take the silence anymore. "I remember when it was me and my sister sitting here waiting on news about you a year ago" she said.
He quirked a smile, "that's the reason we got together to begin with. She had to watch me and help me with my therapy" he stated.
Stephanie smiled and nodded, "I know. She came home after the first day and said that you two were going to be together and that she would move heaven and hell to make it happen" she replied.
Johnny smiled and put his head in his hands to hide the fresh round of tears coming through. Stephanie wrapped her arms around him and let him cry, "she loves you Johnny. She fought so hard to be with you. She went against everything to be with you. She deserves for you to fight for her. You let it all out know because she needs you to fight for her" she said.
Johnny dropped his head into his hands on his lap and cried. He couldn't help but see visions of their arms wrapped around each other, their bodies entangled and bumping against walls, counters, tables, steps, lying in bed talking, snuggling with each other after being together…he saw their life together. He saw how happy and peaceful with each other.
Stephanie wrapped her arm around him comfortingly as he tried to calm himself down. He could feel his blood roaring and he knew that if he was going to be able to see her when she was okay, then he needs to calm himself down and get his mind straight.
If today had taught him anything, it was that she was worth fighting for. She was on his mind all the time. He thought about her more than he thought about himself or his family. She held a big place in his life and his heart. He knew it was corny, but when he thought about her and how much she meant to him, he thought of her favorite movie, The Pirates of the Caribbean.
She loved the scene when Will Turner and Elizabeth were on the beach and he gave her his heart in that chest. He couldn't help but relate to Will at that moment. If he could, he would give Jules his heart in a chest, just so she knew that he loved her and he was serious of them being together.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;
It felt like hours when Connor and Will Halstead came back out of the OR. They had blood all over them. Everyone stood up waiting for them to say something.
"So, what's the verdict?" Stephanie asked.
"She nicked an artery, that's why she was bleeding so much. She had a lot of internal bleeding. We sutured the artery and removed her spleen. Her spleen was ruptured. She has a lot of contusions and abrasions to her face and abdomen" Will started.
"Is she going to be okay?" Andy asked.
"She's stable. She lost a lot of blood. Right now she's out of it. She's going to be out of it for a little while but I have every confidence that she'll make a full recovery" Connor said.
Everyone was thrilled and jumped for joy. "Can we see her?" Mike asked.
"Yeah, she's being taken up to the floor. Steph, want to take them up? She's in 324" he said.
Stephanie nodded, "yeah, we'll meet you up there. She is going to want to see you boys when she wakes up. Especially you" she nodded to Connor.
The boys nodded, "wouldn't miss it" Will said as they left the group to go and get changed.
Stephanie led her friends and family up to the unit to see her sister. The nurse at the desk recognized her immediately. They all knew when one of their own was hurt. They looked out for each other.
"We are just getting her hooked up to the monitors. You guys can go in, just don't overwhelm her all at once. She's still unconscious but arousing from anesthesia" she said.
They all nodded and piled into the room. Johnny didn't want to bring any attention to himself, so he just stayed in the back and watched on edge as she started to arouse from the sedative.
Jules felt like she was on fire. She tried to stretch out her limbs, but felt tight pulling sensation and pain hitting her when she started to stir and open her eyes.
The first person she saw was her dad. He was sitting on the chair next to her bed, holding her hand and running his fingers through her hair like any concerned dad. She hasn't seen that look in his eye since their mom got sick.
"Hi daddy" she greeted.
Kelly smiled, "Hi honey, how are you feeling?" he asked.
She smiled a painful smile and slowly hunched herself up to a sitting position. "Wait, let me help you. Don't exert yourself. You need to take it easy" Stephanie said as she helped her sister shift into a more comfortable position and barricaded her in the bed with a wall of pillows by her ribs.
She was at a better position to look at all their faces and read all their expressions. She could see the worry and panic on each one of their faces. She really just wanted to see Johnny. She scanned the room and noticed Johnny staring holes into her, standing in the back of the group, next to his brother.
She smiled at him, talking to him with her eyes. She needed him to know that she was okay. While they were having this silent conversation, her brother snapped his fingers in front of her eyes to get her attention.
She turned her attention away from Johnny and turned it to her brother, "hey, are you sure you're okay? I mean I don't mean to be a Debbie downer or anything, but you scared the crap out of us Jules" Mike asked her.
Jules smiled and glanced at Johnny before looking back at her family, "I'm okay. I promise. This was just a freak accident. I promise I will be okay" she said the last part looking at Johnny to reassure him that she's really going to be okay.
"Okay I am really glad that you are going to be okay but how do you know for sure that you are going to be okay? I mean you got hurt pretty bad" Mike repeated. He needed to know for sure that his sister was going to be okay and make it out of this like her normal self.
Juliana smiled, "you know how I know I am going to be okay?" she looked over at Connor and Will, "I had the two best doctors in this hospital on my case. There's no way that either of them would let anything bad happen to me" she teased smiling at the two.
Will let out a laugh and grabbed her hand in a show of unity, "damn straight hot stuff" he teased causing everyone to burst out laughing.
Johnny looked between the doctors and realized that if he ever really wanted a true relationship and manned up, he would have to accept that Connor and the people she worked with, especially guys that he didn't particularly like were going to be a part of her life. Now he just needed to grow a pair and tell her family about them.
