Opening Old Doors

Long time since any of my work has been up on All Saints 4eva. Lots has changed since 2003, including my ability to write - much better now than I was then!!! Also, I'm glad to say that these days my fanfiction is more realistic!

Thank you to Nikki for accepting my work, and for the encouragement. Also for the great chats we've had after being reunited!

Feedback would be appreciated by anyone who can take the time out to send it: aussiefanfic@forever-now.net

Also wanted to plug my website (fanfiction): http://www.forever-now.net/aussiefanfic/index.php

Opening Old Doors

Part One

Terri Sullivan walked the corridors of the empty ward. It was hard not to notice how run-down the place was…but that was to be expected with a ward that had not been in use for over six years.

It was always her opinion that Ward 17 should never have been shut down. The hospital needed the beds and the staff. The budget was the problem. Wasn’t it always? Because the CEO had to slash millions of dollars off an already slim budget, the ward had to go. Apparently, All Saints was not in need of a ‘garbage ward.’

“What a difference a little time can make,” Terri said to herself as she wandered into her old office and stared at the empty space in front of her. The hospital had decided that it did need a garbage ward after all, and they wanted her to run it.

Of course Terri accepted. Ward 17 had always been her ‘baby’ so to speak…her second love after Mitch Stevens. She had never, and could never walk away from it entirely. Although she worked as NUM at St Angela’s, All saints was where her heart was. She had jumped at the chance to reprise her old position.

There were so many memories for Terri within the walls of the ward. She was surprised by the vividness of them all. The memories were strong, clear, and just as emotional as they had been when she’d lived through them.

Images of good, and not so good memories floated through her mind, transporting her back to another life. Things had changed so dramatically since those years. Never had she expected to be a mother to Lucy, or to feel love for anyone other than Mitch.

If there was one thing Terri learned, it was that time was her friend. With time, things heal, change, and grow. To Terri, the re-opening of Ward 17 was another new beginning. Another moment which belonged to her heart.
