"Hey is Gemma around?" Bucky asked a nurse who was standing at the nursing station.
"Hey Bucky, what are you doing here?" I questioned coming out of a room, seeing Bucky my husband's best friend, Bucky was also married to my best friend Natasha. I looked at him and could tell since he was still in his fireman get up that there was a problem. "Bucky..." I said and Natasha came walking out of another patients room after checking up on them and walked up behind me sensing a problem.
"It's..." Bucky said a muffled name I couldn't understand and I all the sudden felt short of breath and couldn't breathe. A couple of the other nurses who were standing around started to look.
"Bucky, where is he?" I questioned, he just hung his head.
"It was a huge abandon warehouse and he got trapped inside...-" Bucky was saying, I didn't hear anything after that. I felt my legs give out on me and I fell to the floor uncontrollably sobbing. Bucky lent down to hugged me, I just clung to him. All I could feel were Bucky's arms wrapped around me and nothing else, no floor beneath me, no building around me just Bucky. I screamed out in pain.
I sat straight up in my bed covered in sweat and actually crying. I rubbed my eyes and looked at the clock. It was only 2:30am, I didn't have to be up for about her 4 hours. I grabbed my phone and text Rebekah.
GEMMA: Hey, how's work?
NAT: Slow, why?
GEMMA: Just wondering, had a weird dream and couldn't sleep.
NAT: Do tell.
GEMMA: Maybe later because I honestly don't even know what to think about it.
Nat didn't get a response back, I figured she got suddenly busy. I walked back into my room and laid down in bed.
"What name did Bucky say?" I asked myself shaking my head trying to clear it and then quickly drifted back off to sleep.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I walked into the hospital to get ready for work and saw Nat.
"Did you ever get back to sleep?" She asked and I nodded.
"Yeah quickly after you stopped talking to me." I said and she nodded.
"Right that was because John has been walking the floors again to make sure we are all working so just beware." Nat said and I nodded. John Walker was the head of the hospital and only came out of his office long enough to check things when an inspection was coming up.
"Thanks for the heads up." I said clocking in.
"What do I need to know about what happened last night?" I questioned and Nat grabbed some charts and started filling me in.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was getting back from running some blood work to the lab when I saw Nat standing talking to her newlywed husband Bucky. I smiled when I saw him.
"Hey." I said walking up to him, hugging him.
"Hey, I just got off work and thought I would stop by and see if Nat was ready to go." Bucky said and I smiled.
"You guys are too cute." I said and then I remembered my dream.
"You okay?" Nat asked.
"Yeah just a slight migraine from barely getting any sleep." I said and Nat nodded.
"Probably because of that dream." Nat said and I huffed a laugh.
"Yeah maybe." I said. Bucky cleared his throat and looked at Nat.
"Did you ask her yet?" Bucky asked.
"Ask me what?" I questioned confused.
"I am being honored at the annual firefighters ball for saving those 10 kids from the school fire a couple months ago and I wanted to see you if wanted to come as one of my guests and keep Nat company since I will be busy all night." Bucky said and I smiled.
"I would love to but I need a dress so how much time do I have to shop?" I questioned.
"Well it's this weekend so you have like 3 days." Nat said and I groaned.
"Okay great. If I'm not too tired I will go when I get off in the morning." I said and smiled.
"John is coming." A nurse quickly walked past and whispered.
"Okay well we are off and if you need help call me." Nat said and I nodded as they headed towards the elevator. I grabbed and chart and quickly started writing it in about dropping off the blood work as John reached where I was.
"Good morning Gemma." John said.
"Good morning John." I said smiling at him.
"Was that Nat and her new husband I saw leaving?" John asked and I nodded.
"It was, Nat was off and he came to pick her up I guess." I said and John nodded.
"I need you to get everything ready the heads of the board are doing a walk-through tomorrow morning." John said and I groaned.
"Then why is it my job to get everything done and why not the morning crew?" I questioned.
"Because I am telling you to do it." John said and I knew this was going to be a night from hell.
"Listen I have no problem getting things ready John but I just have a problem that you only ask me and my staff to get stuff ready for inspections, it's not right." I said. I was head of nursing for my shift and this always fell on me.
"You think I do this on purpose?" John asked.
"Yeah I think you do because I turned you down for that date." I said and John huffed a laugh.
"Please, that has nothing to do with this." John said and I rolled my eyes.
"It has everything to do with this." I said annoyed and standing my ground.
"Get the cleaning and organizing done tonight or start looking for a different hospital to work at." John said and walked away angry. A couple of the nurses were looking at me and I just sighed.
"You heard him, start getting this place presentable." I said.
"It already is." Maria, another nurse said with an attitude.
"Come on guys I don't want to hear it honestly. I tried and he won't listen just do as he says or we will all be looking for new jobs." I said and we all started working and I went on my rounds. I ducked around a corner and I quickly pulled out my phone.
GEMMA: Are you off tomorrow?
NAT: Yeah why?
GEMMA: I'll need you help going dress shopping.
GEMMA: John is on a war path against me again so I think I am just going to get takeout and go to bed, I'm tired.
NAT: Okay, we will make plans tomorrow.
