It had been one extremely long day and it was now after eleven pm at night. Bella had just spent the last hour and a half talking with Serena and Drew in her office, discussing various options and outcomes in regards to Chris and Rick. Rick had given consent for Bella to access copies of Chris' medical records so she could keep up on his case. ( Read more... )

Drew's ass nearly fell out of him when Lisa had come running down the corridor of the Oncology ward again about two hours after their last talk and threw a pile of scrubs at him before dragging him to the elevator. She was breathless, and struggled to get everything out, but Drew managed to make out that Chris had apparently taken a bad turn for ( Read more... )

[[Follows THIS, THIS and THIS]Chris found himself getting drawn awake yet again after a long night of restless dozing and trying to watch DVDs on the small portable screen that only made him go cross-eyed when his brain wanted to keep wondering ( Read more... )

Chris was yet again a screwed up mess as he stormed out of Bella's office, and to the fuck with any of her staff who wanted to eyeball him and start rumours. His brother was goddamn dying from cancer and if he wanted to cry and and yell and make a scene, he was going to do it. Or had already done it, rather. When he left the beach, he had told ( Read more... )

Overall, Chris' trip to Lake Wimico was an abysmal failure. An eighteen hour round trip, and he had been in his home town, stood on the edge of that lake all of twenty minutes before he got back into Rick's car and drove home. He still couldn't really explain why he did it, and it was hurting his head to even try now. He had probably cried more in ( Read more... )

Chris kept true to his word and changed the station in Rick's car to something more conducive to his ears. In fact, for a good portion of the drive, he had been singing along to all his favourite classics after ending up plugging his iPod in when the radio just turned out to be crap on any station. He needed to get a few things out of his system, ( Read more... )

Bella didn't believe for a minute that Rick would talk to Chris immediately about the whole donor issue. He knew that would take some guts in the older Deleo brother to broach, but in the meantime, Bella found herself needing some sort of information on how Chris was feeling about the situation now, not how he had been feeling when he was tested as ( Read more... )

Trying to find a time for Chris to meet Serena's brother had proved to be almost impossible. When Serena wasn't on shift, and Chris didn't have his hands full with something for Rick, Drew seemed to have a client meeting. When Drew didn't have a client meeting, and Serena didn't have a shift, Chris needed to be with Rick during a rough patch. And ( Read more... )

It was a really hot Miami night, more so than usual. Chris had worried about Rick and his hot sweats he had been breaking out into, turning up his air conditioner to full force only to have Rick tell him to quit it and turn it down when he found himself shivering so much he couldn't get warm. Chris frustratingly accused him of being like a pregnant ( Read more... )

Chris was finding it hard to believe it was even his birthday. It didn't feel like it, and the only thing that swayed him was the fact presents, cards, and well-wishes kept showing up for him. More than he could fathom, actually. Besides amazing ones from Serena, Dave, Aimee and Eva, there were a lot of other random things from friends and staff at ( Read more... )
