One Chicago One Shots (COMPLETED)

I Need You- Rheese

AN: Ok for those of you who don't know  what Rheese is it's Connor Rhodes and Sarah Reese from Chicago Med. Since today is Colin Donnell's (Connor Rhode's) birthday I thought this would be an appropriate time to write this one shot for you guys. Also, I am not a psychiatrist so I just kind of made up most of this. Enjoy!!

Sarah POV:

It's been a long, hard week. For some reason I've gotten more consults in the ED this week than the rest of my time on psychiatry combined! I guess people picked this week to go rogue on their families and friends. I'm so glad that I finally get to go home and rest. I was on call last night, and I got no sleep.

As I'm walking out of the hospital I feel my pager go off. Are you kidding me? I was so close to freedom but instead I have to go back in there and work on no sleep.

"Dr. Reese! Look's like we'll be working together on this one!" I hear Dr. Connor Rhodes say.

Yes, the Connor Rhodes. The amazing cardiothorastic surgeon. And the man I've had a huge crush on since the moment I saw him riding into Gaffney Chicago Medical Center on a gurney doing CPR.

"What's going on with this guy?" I ask as I approach the patient, and Connor.

"Well, he decided it would be fun to stab himself in the chest so he wouldn't have to cook dinner. Good news for him is that now he won't have to cook for a few months."

"Alright, is he lucid?" I say trying to hold back laughter.

"Yep, and complaining about how he always has to make dinner. Have fun with this one. Page me when you are comfortable with me bringing him up for surgery."

"No problem."

I turn my attention to the patient. I try and focus but my mind keeps drifting to Connor. He's perfect, the way he can make jokes under pressure, and not to mention how kind he is. Finally I manage to focus and complete my exam. I page Connor, and quickly leave the room. I get very nervous around that man for some reason.

"Hey, I was wondering do you want to scrub in with me?" Connor asks as he approaches me.

"I'd love to! Should I prep him?"

"I can get one of the nurses to do that. But would you mind staying in there in case he goes rogue on us?"

"Sure, I'll see you in the OR."

I quickly walk in and start putting the restraints on the patient. I glance at the clock on the wall, it's been 15 minutes. Where is the nurse? I decide to take initiative and start preparing the patient for surgery.

"What are you doing?" The man suddenly asks me.

"Um... Preparing you for surgery?"

"Ya, no thanks. If you could just take these restraints off I can be on my way."

"I'm sorry sir, I can't do that. You need this surgery, and I legally can't take these off. At least without my boss' permission."

"Than get your boss' permission to take these stupid things off of me!"

"I'm afraid I can't do that. My boss, is um ah, not on call right now."

"IF YOU DON'T TAKE THESE OFF OF ME RIGHT NOW I WILL MAKE SURE YOU DON'T HAVE A JOB ANYMORE!!!"

"Sir, I need you to calm down please. I'm almost done."

"NO YOU AREN'T!" He says before he manages to brake through his restraints.

He jumps out of bed and starts running towards me. I take a few steps back before I'm against the wall. I start looking around for something I can use to defend myself, but I can't find anything. He comes closer and closer until his fist makes contact with my nose. Then again with my stomach.

Next thing I know I'm laying on the floor gasping for breath. My vision begins to swarm. The patient runs out, I can't stop him. I can't do anything except lay here. The pain only increases. Everything hurts, I can feel myself slipping in and out of consciousness. I end up closing my eyes, it's to exhausting to keep them open. I can feel myself slip further and further from reality. Soon I even start to hallucinate. I start seeing Connor.

"SARAH?! Can you hear me? Sarah please wake up! Sarah, I need you. I... I love you!"

I open my eyes slightly to see Connor carrying me to an exam room. Did he really just say that? Or was it just my mind playing tricks on me again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've been in the hospital for two weeks now. I'm almost all healed. Connor hasn't left my side once. He said it again, actually he said it five times.

I look in his eyes and smile. He smiles back before saying my new three favorite words "I love you."

"I love you too." I say before I lean forward and kiss him. Finally, I have the man of my dreams. Now that I have him, I will never let him go. I love him so much. Words cannot describe how we feel about each other. He is my everything, and I will never stop loving him.
