Larue, I'm so impressed with all the tiny details. That's it exactly: When you describe Abby studying an x-ray on the board, it's like I'm watching ER while reading your story. And Luka's blue shirt is PART of his personality . Can't imagine him without it.

Re: blue shirt....I know. But I also saw him in an earthy green one in the 'Lock Down' epi. Wooo....he looked HOT in that color as well.

This is such a good story Larue, update again soon, please!
I love the description of Abby looking at the x-ray the details are perfect. I can picture her standing in that very position.

Ehhh......not the best....but SOMEthing! Work Abby sighed and stepped aside as the back doors of the ambulance flew open and a paramedic jumped down. She listened intently as the ‘bullet’ was presented and smiled down at the Asian face of the 12 year old boy strapped to the back board. A rollover car accident. A sister with an ankle injury. The parents were following. She reassured him and pressed the diaphragm of her stethesope to his chest as his gurney was wheeled into the ER. Chuny followed them into the exam room and watched as Abby eased off the stained gauze sponges that covered the boy’s right eye. She brushed aside the thick dark hair that fell across his forehead and surveyed the cuts above and below his eye. Chuny nodded and moved to the phone as Abby ordered a facial x-ray series and CT scan. Abby surveyed the cuts again. She glanced up to see Luka carrying a little girl in a green soccer uniform into the exam room next door. She smiled softly as she saw him talking to the Asian girl very animatedly about her uniform when he sat her on the exam table. She loved watching him with kids. He turned around for something from the tray and then was visibly dismayed as the little girl started screaming. Abby hurried out of the room to the door of the next exam room. Luka glanced at her, grimaced and shrugged his shoulders as he held up the surgical scissors in his hand. Cries of ‘not my soccer shoes!’ brought a grin from him and he turned back the little girl. Abby chuckled as she listened to him adamantly reassure his patient as he snipped away the laces of the tight shoe on her foot. His long fingers were gentle as he eased the shoe off her foot and slid the sock off. Abby looked up as a man and a woman hurried toward her. She smiled and began to speak. Luka watched her out of the corner of his eye as he continued to examine the swollen ankle of his patient. Abby was calm and carefully explained to the parents what was happening with their children. Her brown eyes carried the message she was trying to convey, her brows furrowing and relaxing again as she spoke. Her hands were thrust into the pockets of her lab coat and she smiled. Their faces relaxed immediately. Lord but she was good with overwrought parents. He grinned and shook his head as she tipped her head and studied the Mother’s forehead. Good old Abby. Always treated the entire family. She led them into the exam room where their son was waiting on the bed to be taken to x-ray. She crossed to a cupboard and pulled out a cold pak bag. She squeezed it to release the chemical cooling agents inside and held it on the mother’s forehead as she continued to talk. They glanced into the room where he was working with their daughter and he nodded. Luka took the cold pak that Dori handed him and wrapped it around the little girl’s ankle. After asking Dori to set up an ankle series with radiology, he put the precious soccer shoe and sock in the little girl’s lap and then lifted her in his arms. He carried her into the room where her parents were waiting with her brother. He sat her carefully on the edge of the gurney that held her brother. Abby’s eyes never left his face has he explained about ankle injuries and broken bones. He reassured them that he didn’t think they were dealing with a break but a slight sprain. His eyes were twinkling as he tweaked the little girl’s nose and told her she would have to miss a game or two but would be playing again in no time. He patted the arm of the boy on the bed and asked which team he had watched during the World Cup games. A transporter arrived from radiology and they stepped aside as the gurney was pulled from the room. Dori pushed a wheel chair behind the rolling bed and Luka settled the little girl in the seat. He made sure she was holding on to her soccer shoe and rested his hand on her head for a moment before Dori pushed the chair to the elevator with the parents following them. He watched them go a little wistfully. Luka looked down just as Abby looked up at him. “What?” he asked. Abby chuckled and shook her head. “Oh...I know,” he said as he nudged her shoulder. “Just looking?”

So happy you updated. And the so accurate description of Luka or Abby always amazes me. I really see Abby with her hands in the pockets of her labcoat. This is so familiar! How do you manage to have such a good memory?

Aw...thank you. The patients in this chapter are my own son and daughter from our roll over accident last May. Friends might remember my daughter commenting to me - after 5 hours sitting in the ER - that they 'needed Abby and Luka in this hospital'. LOL I asked her who she would have wanted to treat her and she looked at me like I was totally nuts. Ten years old and she said 'Why, LUKA of course!"
