Nerves Pt 2

Carina POV:

The week seemed to go by extra slow for Carina, she was so nervous for Friday that time seemed to be moving in slow motion. Her appointments seemed to be never ending, and the stack of paperwork on her desk seemed to ever be growing. It was Thursday when Dr Bailey knocked on her office while she was working. 

C: "Who is it?"

M:" It's Dr. Bailey"

Carina quickly hopped up from behind her desk and ran over to the door to let her in.

C:" What can I do for you Dr. Bailey?"

M:" Well I've been wanting to speak to you about this for a while"

C: " Okay, is something wrong?"

M: " No! Nothing is wrong. In fact it is the opposite, I wanted to offer you the position of Chief of the Labor and Delivery Wing. I've seen the work you do with your mothers and I am confident that you will do an excellent job in the position."

C: " Oh my goodness! If I accept the position, when would I officially start?"

M: " Well, we would like you to start as soon as possible. There hasn't been anyone in the position for long enough and we need to get it filled."

C:" I see, can I take a couple days to think about it? It will change a lot of things and I want to be sure I am ready."

M: "Sure of course. I'l be out tomorrow and I understand you have the weekend off, so just have an answer for my by Monday morning."

C: " Thank you so much Dr Bailey, I will let you know what I decide."

Carina helps her out the door, once it was closed, she let out the breath she didn't know she was holding. Wow. She could be the in charge of the entire Labor and Delivery floor. It was a lot for Carina to take in, so she went for a walk to clear her head and get another coffee.  

Friday finally came along, she had 3 appointments, two of which were scheduled check ups and the final appointment was with a healthy 23 year old mother expecting twins. She had started her second trimester, but was experiencing some painful braxton hicks. It was just supposed to be a quick check up to make sure the mother and babies were still okay.Everything seemed to be going smoothly for the day, that was until about 11:00am. A mother came in with intense labor pains, her water had broken a few hours ago. She was a high-risk pregnancy so she had to be closely monitored though out the entire process. As labor progressed, it came to Carina's attention that the baby was in breech position so they were going to have to perform an Emergency C-Section. There were a few minor complications, but everything turned out alright and the surgery was successful. After getting her station cleaned up, she cleans herself up and heads back to her office. When she gets back to her office and checks the time, it's 2:00pm. Carina collapses on the couch and lays down to rest her eyes for a second. Before she knew it her phone chimed, waking her up. The lighting of her office had shifted, the sun was resting lower in the sky, causing Carina to check the time again. The clock said 5:15pm. Uh oh, she slept for way longer than she should have. She rushed to pack her back, hurried out of her office, locking the door and practically running down the hallway. She got home at 5:45pm, pulled into the driveway and rushed upstairs to shower.

Carina took the fastest shower she had ever taken in her life, and quickly dried herself off. She ran over to her closet and after going back and forth between a few different outfits, she decided to FaceTime Amelia to help her figure out an outfit. She answered the call and Carina quickly explained the situation to her.

C:" I have a date tonight, but I can't figure out what to wear. I need your help"

A:" You have a date?! That's amazing? Who is it? Do they work in the hospital? Are they hot? Girl, give me all the details."

C:" As much as I'd love to give you all the details I am running very short on time. So I'll give you all the details later tonight. Please help me decide what to wear"

A:" Okay, as long as you promise to call me later with those details"

C: " I promise" she says, as she flips the camera around to show Amelia the options.

A" Well I am definitely vote for a dress, you look amazing in dresses. Darker colors are very complementary of your skin tone. You should do the black one."

C:" Okay! I will! Thank you Amelia, I'll call you later okay?"

She hangs up the phone and puts on the short black, flowery dress Amelia chose. It emphasized her long, toned legs. It was about 6:15pm, and Carina still had to put her makeup on. She was calling it close, but she was finished just in time. Right after she got her heels on, she looked in the mirror and decided the outfit was missing something. She grabbed a necklace with a silver pendant to bring the outfit together. Right after she got the necklace on, her doorbell rang. Her heart was beating so fast as she walked over to open it.
