Stole My Heart ❤️ {a Jackson Avery Love Story} (continued)

Chapter 199:

I'm sitting in Mer's car with Mer and Alex pulling up to the airport to pick up Maggie and her mom.

Meredith: so, he says to me that when I figure it out, I should give him a call. I mean, who says that?
Alex: she found her mom in baggage claim.
Meredith: anyway, he's an arrogant ass. And Maggie has terrible taste in men.
Delilah: straight up.
Alex: I don't like the guy.
Meredith: I mean, the sex is great. Maybe I shouldn't be picky about great sex.
Alex: you should be picky about sex. You're hot.
Delilah: that's true.
Meredith: well, you have to say that because I let you eat my food and live in my house. And you have to say that because I'm your best friend.
Alex: yes, but it's still true.
Delilah: no, I say it because it's true. You're hot Mer.
Meredith: thank you.
Alex: there she is.

I turn around and see Maggie putting her mom's bags in the trunk then she hops in the back with Alex.

Maggie: 30 seconds in, she's talking about her boobs. That's what's on her mind– her boob job, her boobs, which are perfectly fine, by the way. You know what? When she gets in the car, you look at them, and you tell me that they're not perfect.
Alex: I'm not gonna check out your mom's boobs.

I chuckle at the two.

Delilah: hi Maggie. Good to see you too.
Maggie: oh, sorry Lilah. How was Montana?
Delilah: it was good.

I see Maggie's mom approaching and I hop out of the car.

Mrs. Pierce: oh, it's good to see you Meredith.
Meredith: hi. It's good to see you.
Mrs. Pierce: and, um, Alex, right?

Alex opens the door for Maggie's mom and I smile at her as she steps in.

Mrs. Pierce: it's nice to see you again Delilah.
Delilah: it's nice to see you too Mrs. Pierce. You look beautiful.
Mrs. Pierce: oh, thank you dear.

We all drive to the hospital and I change into my scrubs then head down to the ER.

Owen: hey Lilah, incoming.
Delilah: gotcha. Edwards, incoming.

I grab a trauma gown the head towards the ambulance bay. Edwards and DeLuca meet up with us and shortly after, Amy shows up. Things are still a bit tense between them and it sucked.

Owen: ETA less than a minute.

Owen looks over at Amy.

Owen: I didn't know you were back.
Amy: they said one of the patients had syncope. You'll need a Neuro consult. Figured I'd help Lilah out.
Owen: I just meant, how are you doing?

I run towards the ambulance pulling up.

Delilah: what we got?
Paramedic: Elsie Clatch, 95, fainted while hiking, but now GCS is 15, vitals are stable.
Lewis: gently, gently. She's been injured.
Elsie: please Lewis, all this fuss.
Edwards: hiking?
Elsie: how do you think I made it to 95?
Amy: alert and oriented.
Delilah: times three.
DeLuca: sir, did you injure your wrist?
Lewis: uh, no, it's fine.
Elsie: he fell too. He wouldn't let go of my hand.
Owen: no reason to take a chance sir. Let's go.

We start wheeling her inside and we bring her into a trauma room.

Lewis: her syncopal episode lasted at least 60 seconds.
Edwards: oh, it sounds like you've been watching a lot of medical shows sir.
Elsie: he's not gonna like that.
Lewis: I'm a cardiothoracic surgeon.
Delilah: alright, on my count. 1,2,3.

We transfer Elsie and examine her.

Elsie: don't be pompous. You were a surgeon. So was I. They're surgeons now.
Lewis: she'll need a head CT.
Owen: still, we'd like to rule out other injuries.
Elsie: oh, it's nothing. I-I just got a little lightheaded.
Lewis: you don't know it's nothing.
Elsie: I know as much as you do. I fell down. I'm old, I'm allowed.
Lewis: you'll need an EKG and labs with cardiac enzymes.
