Chapter Two
"Hello White Rabbit, where's the hole today?"
Elizabeth woke from another ridiculous dream. It was as if her mind had waged war and wanted to see how many stupid thoughts it could spew. Sure the snarkier side of her found them rather entertaining, but right now; she didn't want to deal with anything funny.
As her latest dream came back to her, she couldn't help but snicker, maybe 'anything funny' wasn't a bad thing.
"No lucky, I am not going to fight you for custody of my children."
"You don't have a choice, Mr. and Mrs. Potato head are my babies, not yours, you need to give them back, now, I won't tell you again."
"Umm, Lucky?!"
"Don't Lucky me, I need some Lucky Charms, the little marshmallows are amazing."
"Umm, Lucky?!"
"Stop saying my name like that, hey, have you seen the white rabbit? I can't find its hole…"
"Lucky are you taking drugs again?"
"Of course not, I have don't have any need for them; I can taste the rainbow by licking a Leprechaun's nuts."
"Have you seen many Leprechaun's lately?"
"All the time, what the hell have you been doing, they are around us all the time, and those fruity fairies, when you tickle their toes with your tongue…mmm, they leak peach juice."
"Lucky, maybe you need to sit down, you look a little unsteady."
"Only because those stupid ogres keep trying to burrow in to my ears, I think they are trying to mine gold from my brain, maybe diamonds, I can't be sure."
"Are you listening to the shit that is coming out of your mouth?"
"You could never understand. I have elves working inside me, and ghosties and ghoulies whispering in my nostrils and that strange clown that shows up every time I play with myself…"
"What clown?"
"That movie one, with sharp teeth, and keeps telling folks 'That everything floats down here', I'm telling you, I get hard and that creep starts filing his teeth and miming sucking my dick. Think I should let him?"
By this point, Liz has given up all ideas of remembering the dream further; she has tears trailing down her face as her laughter gets louder and louder.
No chance to control the body shaking guffaws, she lets the merriment flow, and it felt good to laugh like this. Cleansing and freeing.
Before she could get her laughter under control, both Patrick and Kelly walked into the room.
The odd looks they passed back and forth had her worried until they started laughing with her, her laughs infecting her friends.
"What's got you so happy today Shorty?"
"Patrick, just because I'm short, doesn't mean I can't kick your pretty little ass all over this hospital. I was laughing because I had a dream about lucking wanting custody of Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head and saying he could get all the 'happy pills' he needed from the rainbow by licking a Leprechaun's nuts…among other absurdities."
Kelly's snort and quick tumble to the floor had her worried for about five seconds before she saw the tears on her face too.
"You want to know a sad fact; I truly believe he is dumb enough to say any or all of that shit."
"Well, well, this is a new side to my favorite nurse."
"Don't fret your pretty little head Patrick, I'm just not taking any shit and more than willing to give it out, when the time calls for it. So do try to stay of my shit list for a while, huh? Besides, I'm sure Robin wouldn't like for me to give you a tune-up. Kelly, are you here to do my exam?"
"Wow, baby's got bite. Just what do you mean, by giving me a tune-up?"
"Wouldn't you like to know Dr. Drake?" Elizabeth replied with a twinkle dancing in her eyes.
Kelly laughed before saying, "Don't you mean 'No body puts Baby in a corner?' And yes, I am free to check you out."
"Do you lovely ladies need an extra hand or two, maybe three?" He said with a salacious wink.
"Dr. Drake, keep stepping, right out that door, we will shout when you get far enough." Kelly replied with a wink of her own.
"Oh, I know when I'm not wanted; I'm leaving, broken hearted and seriously curious about this tune-up Nurse Webber spoke of, I find myself...intrigued."
They could hear his fake sobs as he spun on his heel and hightailed it back to the nurses' station. They could hear Epiphany's laughter but not what caused it.
"Come on Baby, let's get you checked out and ease your troubled mind."
"Don't you start missy. I've had one hell of a night, and don't see an end to it yet."
"I'll switch ya, I spent the last, I don't even know how many hours, working to save a mommy and her three babies…"
"Congratulations on your success, you are an amazing doctor and this hospital is jammy to have you. So, want to make it four?"
"Elizabeth Webber, what the hell is jammy?"
"Look it up, because I am not giving my brain anymore ammunition tonight than it already has."
"I agree with Patrick, I like this new you. It is like the real you has finally emerged. You've become the butterfly after spending so long in your safe little cocoon. I liked the you of before, but this woman, damn, I could love!"
"Kelly, are you coming on to me? Nevertheless, I think you are right, I think I finally found my footing. I'm not the rebellious girl of my early teens, I'm not the broken girl from my rape and I am also not the girl who thought she owed Lucky and the rest of those idiotic Spencer's. I'm finally me, the good, the bad and the snarky."
"Come my little butterfly, let's get you checked out."
"I like it; I think I can handle being called a butterfly."
"Of course you can, you are everything a butterfly is and so much more. Now march."

As they walked back to the nurses desk, Kelly said, "Don't worry sweetie, you are good. Your blood pressure is a little high, but for the most part, I think you just need a vacation, getting away from the hordes would do you some good."
"Thanks Kelly, I appreciate you dropping everything to make sure me and this little pumpkin are okay. I'll see you soon."
They shared a quick hug before Kelly bid her adieu.
"Piph, did I hear the doctor's Quartermaine paged a little while ago, what's going on?"
"You did, Jason was brought in…He's under arrest, but at least that weasely D.A. remembered to get him medical attention."
"Is…is he alright?" Where's the bloody snarky bint when she needed her?
"Relax child, he'll be fine. He's going to be in quite a bit of pain for the near future but he will be up and about before you know it."
"Did they find Sam?" Even her name on her lips felt dirty, if it wouldn't get her in trouble she would have followed that name by spitting on the floor.
"According to Ric, she was arrested down by the warehouses."
"Oh, well, that's good I guess."
"Why do you look like you just sucked a lemon?"
"Worse, it feels like I just sucked one of those candies, I think they are called Warheads, damn things could peel paint they are so sour. I just, can't stand that woman, and calling her a woman makes my skin crawl, she's a…"
"Oh do continue Nurse Webber." Epiphany said with a laugh.
"You asked for it… A trollop, a tramp, a floozy, a whore, a slut, a wench, a tart, a slapper, s hooker, a ho, a streetwalker and a…well you get the picture."
"Nurse Webber you are feisty tonight. Perhaps it's time for you to get a good night's sleep."
"You couldn't be more right, I'm going to go down and talk to one of the doctor's Quartermaine and see if they'd mind me staying at their place tonight, since Cam's still there."
"Good idea."
"I thought so, night Piph."
"Night, and a word of advice, keep this new Elizabeth around, she's just what this city needs."
"I don't think I can cork that bottle, too little, too late, besides, I like this feeling, like my feet are finally on solid ground." Elizabeth said as she walked on to the elevator.
Not realizing she was speaking out loud, Elizabeth said, "One more stop, maybe two and then I am so turning in to Wynken, Blynken and Nod. This Jammy momma is tired. Although, not so tired I wouldn't take my Jason up on his wagging tongue and other…things.
I think I am going to enjoy this dirty girl. She thought to herself.
