The Doctor and The Surgeon

One Night Stand part 2

It's eleven forty two. My lunch starts now it ends at one. I get in my car and head to get tacos. A huge truck swerves into my lane. It hits me. I go upside down. I go unconscious. I wake up in an ambulance. I still have my scrubs on. I go to speak.

"Ma'am just relax."

The ambulance stops. I'm rushed out into the hospital. Rachel, and Jack wheel me quickly to the E.R. with the paramedic. They lift me onto the bed. Rachel injects an I.V. into my forearm. I feel drowsy and fall asleep. I wake up in a hospital gown. Jack is sitting in the corner.

"Jack?"

"Your up."

He walks over to the bed. He holds my hand.

"You've got a concussion. In case you're wondering why you're head hurts."

He smiles. I smile back. I rub my head with my free hand. I feel bandages and stitches.

"Why the bandages and stitches?"

"You had some glass in there from the window. I removed them and got you wrapped up."

He gives me an innocent smile. I tighten my grip on his hand. I feel his grip loosen. He let's go of my hand and leaves with his head down.

I want to tell you I love you but... I just can't! I think to myself.

I feel a single tear go down my cheek. I quickly blink it away as Rachel comes in.

"Hey, your awake. How are you feeling?"

"Fine." I bite my lip as I lie to her.

"Good. Need anything else"

"No."

I lie again. I need water. I just want to be alone with my thoughts at the moment. She shrugs and leaves. I look out the window. Anna comes running in like a mad scientist.

"Elsa! Are you okay? Did you get hurt?"

"I'm fine Anna. Just a few scratches that's it."

"Thankfully."

I look away from her. Trying not to make eye contact.

"Elsa, is there something you want to tell me? You know you can trust me, right?"

"I did a really bad thing."

"Like what?"

"I..." I take a gulp. "It was a one night stand."

I hold back tears. Anna's jaw drops.

"With who? Do you know?"

"Jack. Jack Frost."

"As in Dr. Jack Frost. The surgeon!"

"Yes." I shush her. "You can't tell anyone. Are we clear."

"Yes. I won't tell a soul."

She crosses her heart. I cup my hand over my mouth.

"Are you okay?"

"I feel sick to my stomach. Like I just got food poisoning. "

"I'll get Rachel."

She leaves the room. She comes back with Rachel.

"Elsa, are you okay?"

"I..." She grabs a silver dish. I throw up.

"Let's get an ultrasound. See what's going on."

I nod. She wheels in the ultrasound machine and closes the drapes. Anna stands beside me. I look at the screen.

"Elsa, I bet you know who the father is."

I close my eyes and take deep breaths so I don't hyperventilate.

"What should I do?"

"Tell him!" Anna says with a stern look.

"Maybe wait a little." Rachel looks at me with a sweet face.

"Put this stuff away. And get Jack. I want to talk with him."

They look at each other. Then back at me, and shrug. They do what I asked. They leave as Jack enters the room. He sits by the bed. I grab his hand.

"Jack, the other day I woke up in a hotel room. I found a note on the table. It said I had fun last night. Your good. Love, Jack. I just found out something very important. You can't tell anyone." He nods. "I'm pregnant. With your." I gulp. "Child."

"You mean... I... You... We!"

"Yes. I understand if you don't want to be a part of his or her life. I really do."

He looks terrified.

"Will this comfort you?"

I lean into him. I press my light purple lips against his pink ones.
