I've Loved and I've Lost

Chapter 40

Danica POV

I shift on top of George as someone's pager goes off, my head shooting up from the hospital chair we were sharing. My eyes look towards a still sleeping or maybe even unconscious Izzie. After she underwent the surgery we all stayed with her. 

"Oh it's the Chief," Bailey states looking down at her pager. "Somebody better make a coffee run. You all look like hell," She then leaves the room. I carefully climb off of George and stand to my feet, stretching and cracking my back slightly. 

"I gotta be in surgery in ten minutes, Mer will you let me know?" He asks and Meredith nods. 

"I'm in the pit I think," I mumble groggily as I put my shoes on before leaving. I turn to the side and see Owen and George shake hands. I quirk an eyebrow in confusion as Owen pulls him in for a hug. What was that about? 

I ignore it and walk down to the coffee cart and grab a piece of carrot cake before heading down to the pit. 

Danica POV

I sit in the on call room munching on more carrot cake. I don't get why I want carrot cake so bad. Maybe I'm pregnant. I have gained weight on my stomach but I have been to busy to pay attention. My head shoots up as the on call room door opens and in walks Callie. "Get up,"

"Why?" I ask, my voice muffled due to my mouth being filled with cake. 

"We're going to the lab and getting a pregnancy test done," She grabs my hand and we begin walking to the lab despite my continuous protests. 

After the test is done I sit and wait by myself cause Callie rushes off to the pit. After a couple minutes the test gets back cause we made it top priority. The doctor hands me the test and leaves me by myself. I pick up my phone and dial the only person I think of right now. "Hello?"

"Addie, it's me Dani," I sigh and my hand makes a fist around the papers. 

"Hey Dani, are you okay? You sound upset," 

"I just got back test results and I need to look at them with someone because I might be pregnant," I blurt. "And if I am, if you aren't busy, I need you to fly down here and look at my baby cause you're the only one I trust," 

"Okay. I'm booking a ticket as we speak. I'll be there in the next couple hours. Read the results,"

I carefully open the paper and as my eyes read over the words sobs rack through my body. "I'm pregnant," 

"Dani breathe. You're okay. Go for a walk, clear your head,"

"I have to tell George," I say quickly as I wipe my tears. 

"Dani before you go, how far along are you?" 

"Six and a half months. Six and a half month!?" I exclaim realizing what I said. "How can I be six months pregnant. I'm only now showing and I haven't had any symptoms till three months ago. And the symptoms was craving carrot cake and gaining weight!"

"Dani! No panicking. Go fin George. I love you and I'll see you in a couple hours," 

"Love you too. Bye," I end the call and take deeps breaths before leaving the room. I walk down to the pit despite not supposing to be there, hoping George is there. I walk into the room and see everyone bustling around a patient. "I know you all are busy so I'm gonna make this quick. I'm pregnant!"

"What!?" Everyone exclaims. 

"Good going Hunt! She's pregnant and you convinced her husband to join the army!" Meredith yells.

"WHAT!?" I exclaim. "I need to find George. Oh he is gonna get a tongue lashing from me. Hunt why would you tell him to do that!?" I yell but leave before he can answer. I try to take deep breaths as I  walk around the hospital searching for my husband. 

Danica POV

I walk up to the table in the cafeteria. Bailey, Callie, Meredith, Cristina, and Alex all talking. "I can't find George. I can't find George and I'm pregnant. And I-I don't know what to do," I blurt out as my eyes blur with tears. Callie quickly walks up to me and pulls me into a hug.

"Dani don't worry. When George gets out of surgery at 6:00 pm we will have an intervention and he'll realize he's an idiot," Bailey reassures. 

"I'm going to kill him!" I exclaim as I sob into Callie's shoulder. 

"Take a breather and walk around," Cristina suggests. I pull away from Callie and walk away.

"Walk around! Everyone keeps telling me to walk around! I'm walking and then I'm gonna kill my husband!" I yell, my fists clenched at my sides. 

Danica POV

I walk around and end up by the room the John Doe is in. Maybe he wants some company. I walk in and sit down in one of the chairs. "Thought you could use some company," His eyes dart over to me and widen as he starts moving is hand. 

"Ok I'm coming. I can;t move that fast cause I'm pregnant and I gotta be careful. See even you know before my husband does because my husband decided to join the fucking army!" I sigh heavily before looking at the patient as I stand beside his bed. "Sorry, you probably have a headache and don't need me screaming," I put my hand in his to stop if from flailing. He makes me press my hand flat and tries tracing something on my hand.

I scrunch my eyebrows in confusion. "Hold on let me get a pen," He grabs my hand to keep me from going anywhere. "Okay. I won't leave. Try again but slowly," He traces a circle shape on my hand. "Um O, I think," He taps my hand in confirmation before drawing another O. "Okay, two O's," He then draws a line with a slant. "L?" I question. He does it again. "Is it an L or a seven?" He grabs my hand as I say seven. "Okay. O, O, 7. What does that ev-- 007. My eyes looks to him and my heart catches in my throat. "Oh my god! Oh my god!" I let go of his hand run out of the room. Trying to find someone, anyone. 

I run down to the O.R. "It's George. John Doe is George!" I sob out as I stop running.

"What?!" Callie asks. "How do you know that?"

"It's him Callie. It's George," Everyone runs around as they quickly get him to the O.R. As they wheel him past me I stop them. "You don't to die on me George O'Malley! You don't get to die!" The finally enter the O.R. room and I stand outside praying, pacing, hoping that he doesn't die.
