Chapter 1: Heartache
Kerry yawned as she padded around the house. She was so bored. She had been on maternity leave for almost 4 months now and she was more than ready to go back to work. She wondered into the nursery. She looked into the crib and smiled at her son who was girgling and kicking his feet happily. She smiled as she picked him up. "Hey you want to go see your daddy" She walked over to the changing table and dressed the baby. She crossed the hall to her and John's room and got dressed. She picked up the baby from the bed. She wrapped her arm around him tightly as she walked down the stairs. She was always afraid of dropping him but she was getting used to carrying him along with her crutch.
She put the baby in his car seat. She smiled and kissed him before closing the door and getting in the drivers seat. She put on her seat belt and switched on the radio. She hummed along to OTown's All or Nothing as she pulled out of the drive way and headed for the hospital.
Kerry approached an intersection she slowed down. She didn't see any on coming traffic so she proceeded. All of a sudden a gray Toyota came straight at her at high speed crashing into the drivers side and sending her car flying into a telephone pole. Kerry looked back at her baby. She whispered "John" before she passed out.
The ER was rather slow right now. Susan and Carter were sitting at the admit desk playing Doom 2 on the computer when the call came in. "This is unit 47 we have a 38 year old woman and an infant about 4 or 5 months old they were involved in a mva" Carter sighed "Oh well there goes our game" he switched off the computer. He and Susan gowned up and waited for the victims. Abby and Luka came up behind them. Luka told them that unit 34 was bringing in a 34 year old man.
The first unit to pull up was unit 34. Carter took the gurney and he and Susan began treating the man. Susan wrinkled up her nose. "Yuck this man reeks of cheap liquor" Carter nodded "Looks like someone's going to jail"
Unit 47 pulled up. Luka and Abby walked up to get the gurney. Abby froze when she saw a familiar face. She whispers "Oh my god honey its Kerry" Luka gasped "Abby go get Carter now"
Abby burst into the trauma room where Carter and Susan were working on the drunk driver. "John you need to come with me" He looked at her "Why Abby" She took a deep breath "Because the other patient that unit 47 brought in its Kerry" He stood there frozen . He whispers "What" Susan lightly touched his shoulder "Go John go be with Kerry I can handle this guy" Carter nodded and followed Abby.
Carter walked into the trauma room. Luka had intubated Kerry and was examining her injuries. Luka looked up and saw him walk in. Carter walked up to the gurney. He took Kerry's small hand in his. Tears filled his eyes as he looked down at his wife laying so still. He looked up at Luka and whispers "She's going to be okay isn't she" Luka didn't know how to answer that. He looked at his friend "I don't know Carter I don't know we have to wait for the surgeon" Carter whispers "Surgeon?" Luka nodded "Yes there's evidence of internal injuries."
Elizabeth walks in "You called for a surgical consult Luka" She put on gloves and a gown and walked toward the gurney. She stopped when she saw the patient. She looked at Carter and whispered "What happened" Carter couldn't contain his tears any longer they now rolled down his cheeks. "A drunk driver hit her car" She fought back her own tears and examined Kerry. She turned to Carter. "She has internal bleeding I'll have to go in and stop the bleeding" He nodded grabbing Elizabeth's hand squeezing it slightly. "Please don't let her die" She looked at him "I won't Carter I promise she'll get the best care" He walked with Elizabeth as she rolled the gurney to the elevator. As they waited for it Elizabeth asked "Carter where's the baby did she have him with her" He never answered her he leaned down and kissed Kerry's forehead whispering "I love you" before he disappeared to find his son.
Carter sees Luka and Abby talking in the hall near the lounge. He races up to them. "Where's the baby" Abby looked at him not quite understanding what he meant. "What baby Carter" He had a bad feeling in his stomach. He whispers "Little John he was in the car with Kerry" Luka and Abby looked at each other neither of them knowing about the baby. Abby looked at him with sad eyes "I don't know Carter we didn't know he was in the car." Fresh tears spilled from his eyes as he feared the worst. Then he saw Cleo and she had his son in her arms.
Cleo smiled when she saw Carter coming toward her in a big hurry. She whispered to the baby "Look there's daddy" She handed the baby to Carter. He hugged his son close to him. "Is he alright Cleo?" She nodded "He's fine" "How's Kerry" He looked down at the baby in his arms. He whispers "I don't know Elizabeth took her up to the OR I'm headed up there now" Cleo hugged him. "She'll make it she's strong" He thanked Cleo and headed toward the elevator. Once inside Carter broke down in sobs. His life was falling apart right before his eyes the most important part of his life was in the OR fighting for her life. He looked at his son he looked like his mother he had her eyes and her hair. He was only 4 months old he needed his mother.
The elevator door opened on to the surgical floor. Carter pulled himself together. He walked up to the nurses desk. :Hi Shirley has Elizabeth come out of the OR yet" Shirley shock her head "No Dr. Corday is still in the OR" "Okay thank you Shirley I'm going to wait in the waiting area.
Carter went into the waiting area and sat down on the couch. Little John started to get fussy but he had nothing to feed him. He gently rocked the baby. "Shh its okay John daddy's here" After a few minutes the baby fell asleep in his arms. He gently laid him on the couch. Carter yawned and with in minutes he too had fallen asleep.
An hour later Carter was woken up by someone gently shaking him. He opened his eyes and saw Elizabeth's green eyes staring back at him. "Elizabeth where's Kerry" She sat down beside being careful not to wake up the baby. "She's in recovery but it was touch and go for awhile we almost lost her" Carter looked at her "But she's going to be okay right" Elizabeth sighed "I wish I could say yes but I can't she had some pretty severe injuries all we can do now is wait and pray that she wakes up and recovers fully" Carter didn't like what he was hearing "What do you mean are you saying she might not wake up" Elizabeth slowly nodded as tears filled her eyes. Carter stood up "I have to go be with her" Elizabeth nodded "Of course go on I'll watch John for a little while" He started to walk away but he turned around and hugged the now crying Elizabeth. "Thank you Elizabeth"
Carter walked into the recovery room it was quiet except for the sounds of the machines helping Kerry breath. He sat down beside her. He held her limp hand in his. His eyes filled with tears. He reached up and pushed a few loose strands of hair from her forehead. He whispers "Kerry its me John I love you so much I promise I'll stay right here with you until you wake up" "You have to wake up Kerry little John and I need you" he sat there for a few minutes watching the soft steady movement of Kerry's chest as the machines helped her breath. He whispers "Oh Kerry" before breaking down in sobs.
