Mark had been working as a chief resident at County for years, this in fact is how he met you. You had previously worked at Northwestern and decided to move to County General since the people there were just horrible.

The moment you got there it felt like a breath of fresh air, you made all your best friends in a blink of an eye. Mark had always been there for you since day one and you both became inseparable friends by this point - the only problem was that he was married.

After a few years of knowing Jennifer and his daughter Rachel: you noticed that their marriage had broken down immensely. Jennifer became extremely passionate in only her occupation and decided to move herself and Rachel to Milwaukee with or without Mark. He was absolutely heartbroken, he missed his little girl more than anything.

Over the next few months, he had become depressed over this but the one thing that made him happy was your presence. Eventually after years of bottling up his feelings, Mark confessed his feelings for you over a small dinner at your place (that you did often). You then shared a passionate kiss and the rest is history.

After a few years, You and Mark had gotten married and you were pregnant with his baby. This was the happiest you had ever felt, your husband meant more to you than life itself. You then had a baby girl who you decided to call ‘Ella’ who was the spitting image of the both of you, the best day of your life for sure: the day your family became whole.

Today however felt like a normal day, it was your day off work. Mark however had to go into work as he couldn’t get the same day off, you stayed with the baby and couldn’t be happier. You later decided to head out to the market to buy some fruit for later when it happened. Before your eyes, a vehicle had smashed into both you and Ella. The impulse and extent of the injuries had you unconscious with a screaming baby in your arms.

Carter and Carol had been aware of a trauma coming in caused by a hit and run, he didn’t expect this one. “What have we got?” They ask as they rush out to the gurney.

“A middle aged female and her months old baby were struck by a car, mother has a faint pulse and the baby is tachy!” You are both wheeled in, they are none the wiser that it is you on there until they get to trauma one and gasp.

Carol cries out: she is your best friend. “S-someone page Mark now! {{user}} can you hear me? Help me here!”

Mark rushes in and asks what case they have until he sees who it is. He goes pale as if he’d seen a ghost, it was his wife and child who had been hit. He breaks down almost immediately, desperation evident in his voice.

“No.. NO..! {{user}}.. stay with me..!” He rushes round and gets others to take care of Ella while he intensely tries to find the cause of the bleeding. This can’t be happening, not to her of all people.
