"Yes, Conrad. But you need to hang on for me, ok." Nic said with little more emotion then she would like. Conrad started to let his eye flutter close. The last things he heard was Nic yelling at him to wake up and the gurney coming to a stop.
Currently on The Resident AU:
Nicolette got on the gurney to continue pressing on the wound that Conrad had in his abdomen. It was bleeding out of her hands and at a rapid pace. She was barely holding herself together. Conrad had passed out from blood loss 2 minutes ago. And he hadn't opened his eyes since. They rushed him into the Elevator and quickly pressed the button to the or. They prepped Conrad, and Nic got herself ready. She didn't want to be in the waiting room waiting she wanted to be in action watching as they worked on Conrad. She also didn't want anyone to screw up, she was the backup for any idiot who hurt her... What her person. They opened the section where the stab wound was to get a good idea where to start. The scapel had gone pretty deep and it had cut a lot of blood vessels including his spleen. Nicolette's heart stopped when the heart monitor started flatlining. The doctors worked hard to get him back, but they knew that they were on a time constraint because they had just lost him for a minute.
30 mins later...
They finally finished and they cleaned him up and set him up in the room. He needed some help doing some of the basic needs like breathing so Conrad was on a Ventilator. It was only until he woke up or he started to breathe properly on his own. Whatever came first. Nic sat silently near his bed her hand with his. He wasn't showing any signs of waking up yet and she needed to get back on shift. She would have to check him during her rounds. She got up and kissed his forehead. He looked so calm for once, evening though he had a tube in his mouth he still looked like the same Conrad just calmer. She left the room to start rounds when she saw Dr.Bell. She was so angry, Conrad was hurt because of him. And he was just walking around like nothing ever happened. She walked towards him and bumped into him... purposely.
"Hey what the he..." Dr.Bell saw Nic and stopped himself. " Hey Nic, how is Conrad?" he asked.
" Hey Nic, how's Conrad you ask?!?! You know you're the one who hurt him. I will find out and I will get you fired." Nicolette was getting irritated with being nice. How could Dr.Bell ask that when he put Conrad in that position.
2 hours later...
Nic had finally finished her rounds. So she went home to bathe and change into comfortable clothes and to also pack some clothes for work the next day. She didn't want Conrad to wake up alone. She rushed and left quickly. She walked in Chastain and went to Conrad's room to see that he wasn't there anymore. She walked to the Nurses Station and asked where Conrad was. They said that he was moved to the ICU. He had caught a fever and it wouldn't break. So they moved him to make sure that it would. The nurse gave her the room number and Nicolette ran up the stairs to Conrad's room. She would have to ask for a couple days off when Conrad woke up so that there was someone to help him. She got a chair and pulled it to Conrad's bed and held his hand. She let go for a second to get the bracelet that he wore almost all of the time. She had given it to him when they started to date. She put it on him and went back to sitting and holding his hand. She wondered what was going to happen when Conrad woke up. Would Dr.Bell get fired... suspended... sent to jail. The possibly's were endless but for now, she would think about Conrad. Does this mean that their back together? Or was it just a fling? She was going to have a long night.
