Stole My Heart ❤️ {A Jackson Avery love story}

Chapter 152:

Owen paged me for an incoming trauma so I get to the ER as fast as I can. When I get there, I see Owen walking in with Nicole and Jo.

Delilah: talk to me Nicole.
Nicole: 20-something female carjacking victim– multiple lacs and contusions, open tibia fracture, hypotensive and tachycardic.
April: this was a car jacking?
Owen: and a hell of a beating.
Delilah: wow. Okay, Wilson, you're with me.

We get our patient into a trauma room and transfer her.

Melissa: they took my car! They took my—

She was freaking out so I take her hand and hold close to me to calm her down.

Delilah: shh shh. It's okay. You're going to be okay. What's your name sweetie?
Melissa: Melissa. My car—
April: Melissa, I'm sure your car's fine. We're gonna take care of you, okay?
Delilah: Wilson, go see if anyone came in with her.

Jo leaves then I walk out with April to the nurses station.

Delilah: hi. Can you please page Dr. Torres for an Ortho consult for Dr. Hunt's patient in trauma one?
Nurse: right away doctor.

As I smile at the nurse, I saw Dylan and Jackson appear at the corner of my eye, causing me to smile and turn around.

Delilah: hi!
Jackson: hey gorgeous.

I wrap my arms around Jackson and give him a kiss.

Dylan: April.
April: hey. Uh, I though you were on the...
Dylan: yeah, your mom's flight got in early, so I brought her here.
April: why would you do that?
Dylan: 'cause she wanted to see you.
April: wh—
Dylan: I-I set her up in the Attendings' lounge. Just give me a page when you get a second. Love you!

I chuckle as Dylan kisses my cheek then walks away.

Delilah: you are supposed to be enjoying your day off.
Jackson: you went in early this morning and I missed you.

I chuckle at my husband then kiss his cheek.

Delilah: you're a dork and I love you. I should get back to work. Where are the twins?
Jackson: left them in the Attendings lounge with April's mom.
Delilah: you went with Dylan to pick April's mom up?
Jackson: yeah.
Delilah: what's she like?
Jackson: she's nice. She melted when she saw the twins.
Delilah: as she should. We made really cute kids.
Jackson: hell yeah we did.

Jackson and I chuckle.

Delilah: I need to get back to work. Go back to our kids and enjoy your day off!
Jackson: yes ma'am. I love you.

I kiss Jackson one last time then I go back into the trauma room. When I walk in, Melissa's monitors start going off.

Delilah: Wilson!
Owen: she's crashing.

Just then, Callie comes in.

Callie: you paged Ortho? Oh, woah.
Delilah: yeah, you're gonna have to wait.
Owen: belly's expanding even though I cross-clamped the aorta.
Jo: should we book an OR?
Delilah: yeah, but she's not gonna make it to an OR with this much blood in the belly.
Owen: we're gonna need to do an emergency laparotomy.
Callie: uh, right now? Here?
Delilah: Wilson, we're gonna need gauze, laps, whatever we have to pack this abdomen.

We start opening her up.

Callie: you sure you want to do this?
Delilah: I'm sure we don't have a choice.

I make the cut, but blood bursts profusely. Once we pack her, we get her into an OR as fast as we can.

Delilah: okay Wilson, liver's intact. Let's look at the retroperitoneum.
Jo: oh god, it's the IVC.
Owen: okay, put some pressure on it.
Delilah: satinsky please. Suction ready.
Callie: alright, fracture's all cleaned out for now. I'll do the repair tomorrow.
Owen: have we found out anything about this girl?
Jo: no purse, no ID, and we know she worked at the office hub, but the only emergency contact they had was her own number.
Callie: actually, we know something else. She's a veteran. Yeah, she has an operation Iraqi freedom tattoo, 2011-2012. I've been examining a lot of vets lately, thanks to you.
Owen: good eye Torres.
Delilah: the injury's exposed. 4-0 prolene.
Owen: this should never have happened to her.
Delilah: it shouldn't have happened to anyone.
