The resident Conrad and Gigi post 5x03

Together we stand

The ER doors burst open as Marshall was wheeled in on a gurney, his face contorted in pain. Kyle followed closely behind, his face etched with worry. Conrad rushed to their side, his heart pounding with anxiety.

Conrad: "Dad! What happened?"

Kyle: "He had a severe Crohn's flare. I brought him in as soon as I could."

Conrad: "Thank you, Kyle. I appreciate it, really. But we still have things to sort out."

The medical team swiftly moved Marshall into a room, hooking him up to monitors and administering pain relief. Conrad stood by his father's side, gripping his hand tightly.

Marshall: "Conrad... I'm glad you're here."

Conrad: "I'm not going anywhere, Dad. You're going to be okay. We'll get through this."

Kyle stood at a distance, feeling the tension but knowing he did the right thing by bringing Marshall in. He stepped forward, trying to bridge the gap.

Kyle: "Conrad, I know things are complicated between us, but I did what I thought was best for Marshall."

Conrad: "I know, Kyle. And I'm grateful for that. But right now, my focus is on my dad. We'll deal with everything else later."

Marshall: "Both of you need to put aside your differences. Life's too short for grudges. Kyle did the right thing bringing me here."

Conrad: "You're right, Dad. We need to focus on you right now. We'll deal with everything else later."

Kyle: "I'm here for both of you, no matter what. Let's just make sure Marshall gets better."

Conrad nodded, still wary but recognizing the truth in his father's words. For now, their priority was clear: supporting Marshall through his flare and ensuring he got the best care possible.

The emergency room was a flurry of activity as Marshall was rushed in, his condition deteriorating rapidly. Conrad and Kyle stood by, feeling helpless as the medical team worked frantically to stabilize him.

Devon, the lead doctor on duty, took charge of the situation with a calm and authoritative presence. He quickly assessed Marshall's condition and directed the team on the necessary steps to save him.

Conrad: "Devon, please, you have to help him. He's all we have left."

Devon: "I'm doing everything I can, Conrad. We won't give up on him."

As the minutes ticked by, tension filled the air. Marion, who had arrived moments before, stood off to the side, her hands clasped tightly together in silent prayer. She then gently handed Gigi to Conrad, who held her close, feeling the weight of responsibility and love.

Kyle: "Is there anything we can do to help?"

Devon: "Right now, the best thing you can do is wait. We're doing everything possible for Marshall."

The beeping of machines and the hushed whispers of the medical staff were the only sounds in the room as everyone held their breath, hoping for a miracle.

After what felt like an eternity, Devon emerged from the ER, his expression unreadable. Conrad and Kyle rushed to him, their eyes pleading for good news.

Devon: "We managed to stabilize him, but he's not out of the woods yet. He's in critical condition, and we'll need to monitor him closely."

Conrad: "Thank you, Devon. We appreciate everything you're doing for him."

Marion, standing beside Conrad, took his free hand tightly in hers, showing her unwavering support. "We're here for you, Conrad. We'll get through this together."

The group gathered in the waiting area, their thoughts consumed by Marshall's well-being. Despite the uncertainty, they found solace in each other's presence, united in their love for Marshall.

As they waited for any news on Marshall's condition, Devon's steady leadership and expertise gave them hope that he would pull through.

Hours passed, and the waiting room was filled with a heavy silence. Conrad, Kyle, and Marion took turns sitting with Gigi, trying to keep her occupied and calm despite their own anxiety.

Finally, Devon walked in, looking exhausted but determined. Conrad and Kyle immediately stood up, their hearts pounding.

Devon: "Marshall's condition has stabilized further. He's still critical, but he's responding to the treatment better than we expected. The next 24 hours are crucial."

Conrad: "Thank you, Devon. We can't express how much this means to us."

Devon: "He's a fighter, Conrad. Just like you. We'll keep a close watch on him."

Marion: "Is there anything we should prepare for? Anything we can do?"

Devon: "For now, just being here is enough. Your support means everything. If there are any changes, I'll let you know immediately."

As Devon left to attend to other patients, Conrad sat down, feeling a mix of relief and continued worry. Kyle put a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

Kyle: "He's going to make it, Conrad. I believe in him."

Marion: "And we believe in you too. You're not alone in this."

Conrad nodded, appreciating their words more than he could express. He looked at Gigi, who was now asleep in Marion's arms, and felt a renewed sense of determination.

Conrad: "We'll get through this. Together."

The hours stretched on, but the family's bond only grew stronger. They knew that whatever happened next, they would face it as one, supporting each other through every challenge.

As dawn broke, the first light of day filled the room with a warm glow. Devon walked in, a hopeful smile on his face.

Devon: "Good news, everyone! Marshall's condition has stabilized. He's still not out of the woods, but he's responding well to treatment."

A wave of relief washed over everyone. Conrad hugged Kyle and Marion tightly, tears of gratitude in his eyes.

Conrad: "Thank you, Devon. We really appreciate everything you've done."

Devon: "It's a team effort, Conrad. Your support has made a big difference."

Gigi stirred in her sleep, sensing the change in the atmosphere. When she woke up, she looked around and saw everyone smiling.

Conrad: "Hey, Gigi! Grandpa's going to be okay!"

As the days went on, the family stayed by Marshall's side, showering him with love and support. Every little improvement brought them closer together, and they knew that their bond was what truly kept them strong.

In the end, it wasn't just the doctors that helped Marshall recover; it was the love and support from his family that made all the difference. Together, they faced the challenges and came out stronger than ever.
