Slexie - The Next Generation

Chapter 35

Piper's POV

"What about Ellis, what will she do?" I ask my mom.

"She said that Daniel can come over and stay with her. Please just think about it, everything is starting to come back out and I don't want you getting hurt in the process." mom says to me.

"Can I have some time to think about it?" I ask.

"Of course sweetie." dad says, putting his hand on my shoulder. 

"Jesus christ! What happened!" Carter says, sliding in the room.

"Calm down Carter!" I say.

"You want me to calm down when after I get out of a surgery, I find out my sister is in the hospital, and I don't mean working!" he points out.

"Carter, I'm fine. Just stress related." I say, and I can see him calm down a little bit.

"Scared the hell out of me, I'll tell you that." he says, sitting down beside me.

"You said you where in surgery before? What was it." I ask, changing the subject.

"Oh! It was so cool P!" he starts and for the next thirty minutes my brother talks about how awesome the surgery was and he can't wait to do something like it again. I just sit there listening to his story telling and nodding and saying cool when need be.

"Anyway, in the end she survived and her baby is doing good too" he says, smiling.

"That's good Carter. You've come a long way, just letting you know. But do you have any favorite specialty right now?" I ask. 

"I mean it was cool and all doing the whole surgery, but then when I was on Trauma it was, thrilling" he says.

"Well you still have a couple years before you have to really decide anything." I remind him.

"I know, but I really want to embrace myself into the specialty I want to go into." he says.

"You'll be able too, but your also an intern. It's gonna be a while before you get to actually do anything on your own. You have quick hands Carter, you'd do good in Trauma." I say to him.

"Thanks P. Are you sure you're okay?" he asks me.

"I'm fine. Like I said, it's just stress." I respond.

"I just don't want anything bad happening to you, because that would suck." he says.

"You're right, it would suck. But you want to know what sucks more? Mom and Dad want me to live with them for a little while until everything cools down." I say.

"Why would you do that?" he asks.

"They just want to keep on eye on me, and I can't blame them, I just feel like I am old enough to be able to protect myself." I say.

"Why don't you tell them that then. I am pretty sure Noah would stay with you, plus you have Ellis and more than likely Daniel there." he says. 

"I know, that's what I was thinking too, but you know they can get a little protective when it comes to this stuff." I say to him.

"You're telling me everything I already know. I lived with them too." he says, making us both smile

We sit and chat for a little longer before his pager goes off.

"I gotta go, it's the patient I was talking about earlier." he says.

"Good luck." I say.

He gives me a thumbs up before rushing out of the door. I sit in silence for a few minutes before I hear the door open.

"Where you taking a nap?" Noah says staying by the door.

"No, Carter actually just left not ten minutes ago." I respond.

"Oh, do you want company then?" he asks.

"Of course." I say, smiling at him.

He comes over and sits in the chair Carter was in ten minutes ago.

"So, how are you feeling?" he asks me.

"Tired, but other than that. Are you on break?" I ask.

"Well I just got off about five minutes ago, but before I went to change I was gonna stop here." he says.

We sit there in silence for a couple minutes before he takes my hand.

"I'm so sorry Piper." he says looking down.

"Why would you be sorry? You have nothing to be sorry for." I say.

"Because I didn't help you. I should have known something was up, and I didn't." he says looking down. 

"Noah, I could never hate you. And for what happened, nobody saw it coming, jeez I didn't even know it was going to happen." I say to him, grabbing his hand. 

I squeeze his hand and he looks up at me, tears rimming his eyes.

"Please don't blame yourself for this." I whisper.

He nods his head and with his free hand wipes away the tears. I scoot over a little bit and pat down on the bed so he can climb up. When he is on the bed I cuddle into his chest and listen to his beating heart.

"I love you Piper." he whispers.

"I love you too." I whisper back.
