Missed Times

Chapter Two

Okay, that was the weirdest dream I've ever had. I open my eyes and my heart sinks when I realize I'm still in the hospital, I'm alone but I can hear Dr. Shepherd's voice outside my room.

"She needs to rest Michelle, I'll let you know when you can go in. She's confused. This is not the right time."

Michelle? It wasn't a dream, I'm really here and I just lost three years of my life. Why is she the only one out there? Where's my wife and the rest of my team? Aren't we supposed to be a family? The door opens and Dr. Shepherd walks in again with a sympathetic look and a few interns and residents I don't recognize.

"Good morning, Captain," Amelia chimes.

Again with the captain thing?

"I'm not a captain anymore Amelia," I rub my face.

"You're not?" Amelia frowns.

"Am I the one with amnesia or is it you?"

"Right, no," She says and smiles at me. "You're the one with the amnesia but you're also the Captain, this I know because your new team likes to talk about you."

Amelia gets closer to my monitors and I frown. I somehow managed to get my job back, wow that's...

"My new team? What do you mean?"

"I'm sorry. I should've been more specific," she says apologetically. "You are now Captain of Station 27"

"Okay," I chuckle and roll my eyes. "That's a really bad joke, did Vic and Travis put you up to it?"

No way in hell I would agree to leave 19 for 27, that station is almost in ruins.

"She's not joking," a petite brunette intern says excited. "You are a badass, there's articles about you and everything."

"There's what now?" I look back and forth between Amelia and the intern.

"Yeah, I can show you." The intern pulls her phone out an Amelia extends her hand to her.

"Jones, let's leave the articles for later," Amelia says to the intern. "We still have more rounds to get to."

No, this doesn't make any sense. I haven't questioned anything they said to me before because it sounds true but this? Why did I leave 19? Did they kick me out?

"Where's my wife?" I ask harshly. "I need to make sense of all of this and you just keep confusing me."

I'm getting more worried every time I ask for Carina and no one seems to give me a clear answer. Even the nurses pretend they don't hear me when I ask and now the interns are avoiding my gaze and looking at each other as if they know something I don't.

"I'll let you know as soon as she gets here, I promise," Amelia puts her hands on her lab coat. "Can we start?"

I nod and Amelia asks questions to the other doctors and examines me. She starts talking about my brain and how my amnesia is one of the rarest she's ever seen, I try to listen to her but I keep thinking that Carina should be listening to this. She should be here holding my hand.

"Can you at least tell me where is she?" I ask when Amelia finishes her medical talk and teachings.

My heart skips a beat when the door opens, but immediately breaks when I see Michelle standing there. She smiles softly at me and Amelia looks at her like she's an intruder.

"You cannot be..."

"It's okay," I cut her off. "Amelia, let her in."

Michelle looks worried. She's the only one that I've seen around so I figure she can be in here. Amelia looks at me surprised. Michelle smiles and comes closer to my bed.
