Ask and you shall receive! I had to go back and read what was happening it has been so long LOL...
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
“Abby are you sure you want to be here?” Luka worriedly asked her as they walked through the ambulance bay towards the ER, “For the last time, yes, quit asking me that!” She replied curtly. Glancing over at Luka she felt a sudden stab of guilt, she knew he was only trying to help her, brushing his hand she softly added, “I’m ok Luka, it helps if I am busy, it keeps my mind occupied.” Nodding his head at her explanation he gently rested his hand on her lower back and guided her through the entrance towards the lounge.
There was a comfortable silence as they both routinely got themselves ready, putting on their lab coats and stethoscopes, Luka looked over at Abby as he closed his locker she had her eyes closed as if willing herself to get through this day, he reached over to her and softly touched her cheek with his thumb giving her an encouraging smile as he did so. Abby opened her eyes and returned his smile before turning on her heel and heading towards admit to start her day.
**********
“Abby, you want to run this?” Susan called out as the paramedics rolled in a teenage boy who had fallen badly during a rugby game. “Um, yeah sure, I guess.” Abby replied getting up from her charting. “Well don’t sound so excited. I thought all interns wanted to run their own traumas” Abby looked up at Susan knowing she was joking and gave her friend a small smile. She had been keeping herself busy all morning doing everything she could to keep her mind from wandering to the possibilities that awaited her if she found out she had cancer, as the hours crept by it was getting harder and harder to keep positive, waiting for the results was excruciating.
“C-Spine, CBC, Chem 7, and Chest X-Ray” Abby called out the orders mechanically to the nurse and went about checking the patient for obvious problems, being extra careful to ensure his spine and neck were ok before removing the head restraints.
“Dr Lockhart, there is call for you one line one.” Jerry poked his head through the door. “She’s a little busy at the moment Jerry, take a message” Susan answered for her with an annoyed tone. “It’s oncology they said it was urgent and will only speak with Abby” Jerry replied leaving the room. Abby’s head snapped up when she heard Jerry say oncology, nervously she looked at Susan, “I have to take this Susan, he’s fine anyway, we just need those x-Rays” She finished, indicating to the patient on the gurney. Susan saw the haunted look on Abby’s face and nodded that she was free to go.
Picking up the phone Abby hesitated before punching in the line, “Hello, this is Dr Lockhart. Um ok right” Hanging up the phone she stood there for a second longer gathering herself. “Everything ok?” Susan asked. “Yeah, I just ah, I have to go for a little while, have you seen Luka?” “Exam one I think” Chuny said. Nodding her thanks Abby left the trauma room in search of Luka. Susan watched with concern as she retreated out the room.
**********
“Luka!” Abby poked her head through the door and indicated for him to follow her. “What is it?” He asked once he had left the room, “Um they have my results and want to see me now.” Abby answered him looking down afraid that if she looked him in the face she would lose her resolve, Luka reached out and rubbed both of her arms and bent his head down to rest on top of hers. Silently he reached for her hand and wove his fingers through hers and led her towards the elevator. Luka’s grip never lessened on her hand as they reached their destination, the admitting nurse had told them to go right into DR Wilson’s office which is where they were now sitting side-by-side waiting for the doctor to enter and tell them their fate.
**********
“Right, I have good news for you both” the doctor had settled into his chair and was loosely leafing through his papers in-front of him. “The results of the biopsy showed some abnormalities, but the lump was benign” He paused to let the news sink in, Abby felt a great weight suddenly lift off her as a smile crept onto her face, she turned to face Luka, he leaned over and embraced her quickly kissing her enjoying the moment, forgetting they were being watched. Both felt the stress ebb from them at his words, both had feared the worse and to hear that everything was ok was a relief they would cherish forever.
“When we examined the cells under the microscope they showed Lobular Carcinoma in-situ, which in a nutshell means that you are at increased risk of developing breast cancer in the future, it puts you at five to ten times greater chance of getting the disease. But I don’t want you to worry, we will keep a close eye on you, just because you have LCIS doesn’t automatically mean you will develop the disease.”
Abby nodded her head taking the information in; she was having a hard time concentrating through the emotions that had welled inside her. “Are there treatment options?” She asked looking over at Luka while she asked this.
“Well in the past it was treated with mastectomy which is no longer considered necessary because most women with LCIS will never develop breast cancer, instead you need to be extra diligent, regular check ups, mammograms every year and a breast exam by an oncologist every 6 months”
“Thank you” Abby beamed at the doctor as they stood up, Luka shook his had, “I’m glad it was good news” Dr Wilson said as he followed them out of his office into the corridor.
************
Once again they were riding the familiar elevator towards the ER, but this time there was no tension the air, no heavy weight on them, they felt free. Luka stood slightly behind Abby and lent down to nuzzle the nape of her neck, Abby moved her head slightly pulling her loose hair out of the way to grant him better access, as he continued sucking her neck Abby sighed and turned towards him pulling his head to meet hers, passionately they kissed one another, Abby’s hands moved to either side of his face as Luka moved his to her lower back. Both were so involved with one another neither heard the ding of the elevator arriving at their destination.
“Get a room already” Abby and Luka sprang apart from each other trying to look innocent but failing miserably, Morris and the new intern Barnett stood before them with amused expressions on their faces. The pair quickly exited the elevator and headed back to their patients.
