falling for you [m.s.]

fourty six

gwen was in the ambulance bay with derek and richard waiting for the ambulance.

it pulled up and the door opened to reveal addie, naomi and archer.

gwen and addie hugged before gwen hugged naomi. then the addie hugged richard while naomi hugged derek.

"we got an icu bed all ready for him." gwen assures addison taking her hand.

"he was fine. we went to lunch..." addie sobs while she entered the e.r with gwen.

once they brought archer to his room derek, gwen and richard started to examine him.

"does he know how he got the parasites?" richard asks.

"from eating unwashed fruit in mexico." naomi replies sighing.

"he's bradycardic and hypotensive." derek states. "why?"

"a reaction to the fentanyl drip." gwen explains. "stop the drip, push narcan..."

"wait! gwen, he was in status." addie stops her. "and if you take him off the drip and he seizes, there could be brain damage."

"we better hope that doesn't happen." gwen tells her.

"hope?" addison asks disbelieved. "that's what your plan is hinging on? hoping the worst doesn't happen?"

"i'm hoping he's stopped seizing. because i know if we don't reverse the drip, he's going to arrest. unless you have a better idea." gwen looked at her best friend who stood quiet. "push the narcan."

the nurse pushed it while everyone looked at the monitor. suddenly archer flatlined.

"he's in v-fib. get the crash cart." derek shouts while gwen slammed with her fist on archer's chest.

addison and naomi stood in front of acher's room while derek checked on him as gwen walked up to them.

"i cleared my schedule." she informs them.

"you didn't have to do that. i'm fine." addie tells her.

"your brother has parasites in his brain. i cleared my schedule." gwen repeats. "you cut your hair."

"yeah." addie says brushing to her shorter hair.

"i like it." gwen states. "how is he?" gwen asks nodding to archer.

"i don't know." addie sighs while derek stepped out of archer's room.

"he's groggy." derek states. "his eyes are open but i don't think he's awake. he hasn't tried to kill me. your brother hates me."

"people pick sides in a divorce, derek." addie reminds him.

"he picked sides in the marriage." derek states.

"he first seized during sex with his girlfriend. wonder why she's not here?" gwen asks looking over archer's chart.

"oh she is." naomi says from behind gwen.

"naomi?" gwen asks her with disbelieve.

"i'm going in there." addie informs them while stepping into archer's room with gwen.
