I know this is a really stupid Fan Fic but I wrote it because I was feeling down.


…And she laughed

By: Monica

A Laura Innes Fic

Rated G


There I was sitting at a table in Las Vegas all by myself, after a long argument my girlfriend had gotten up and walked out on me. I started to cry, at this point I didn’t care who was looking at me, I didn’t care if people stared I was tired and hungry and worst of all upset. I folded my arms on the table and placed my head down and continued to sob. I heard one of the waiters mutter something about asking me to leave and then I heard footsteps of some one approaching.

“I’m waiting for food and I’m fine so just back off.” I snapped not bothering to look up from my pouting position. Instead of getting snapped at back there was a gentle laughter and I looked up, there was a woman standing there. She was rather short, well compared to me she was short but I’m a freakishly tall woman. Her eyes were sparkling with happiness and her hair was reddish brown, she looked very familiar but I couldn’t figure out why. Was she some one I knew from school? Not a fellow student but an old teacher maybe, I didn’t know quite yet.

“Are you okay?” She asked me as she tilted her head to one side, her smile was perfect and it looked like she was having a rather good evening. I wiped my eyes and wondered what business it was of hers but she was so pretty, so nice, I couldn’t be mad at her for caring.

“Yeah…” I replied in a sigh but she gave me a look as if she knew that I wasn’t okay and she was waiting for me to admit it, “Okay no I’m not okay.” I added and then reached down into my purse to get out a cigarette. I didn’t ask her if she minded if I smoked but at the same time I didn’t really care if she minded, everyone else in the casino was smoking so she could deal with it. I lit the cigarette and still in the back of my mind she seemed so familiar but why couldn’t I place her?

“What’s wrong?” She asked as she moved her chair in a little bit more, she was quite older then me and even though I thought about hitting on her I didn’t. I sighed again and pushed some of my hair out of my face and took a drag on my cigarette.

“My girlfriend broke up with me.” I said flatly, “She waited till our trip to Vegas to tell me, the trip that I paid for.” My hand tightened into a fist and I pounded it down on the table. The woman jumped a little and it occurred to me that I didn’t even know her name. I took another drag off of the cigarette and flicked some of the ashes into the glass ashtray in front of me. She laughed a little, probably at the irony of the situation, but it was a laugh that lightened my mood not one that made me annoyed.

“Isn’t that always the way things happen?” She took a sip of whatever she was drinking, “Can I buy you a drink?”

“You don’t have to do that,” I replied wondering if she was coming onto me or just being nice, “I don’t want to impose.”

“It’s okay,” She motioned to one of the waiters and he nodded and hurried over to the bar, somewhere in the background sirens went off indicating that some one had probably just hit a jackpot leaving me to wonder why I couldn’t be the lucky one at the slot machines, “I make more then enough money one drink is nothing to worry about.” That’s when it hit me, she looked a lot like Laura Innes from ER, I sort of laughed when I realized that. Then I wondered what the possibility of Laura Innes sitting down to talk to me were.

“You know who you look like?”

“Who?”

“Laura Innes,” I smiled just slightly she just sort of cocked her head to the side and smiled but it didn’t seem like she knew who I was talking about, or maybe she did, I couldn’t exactly read the expression on her face but she was obviously taking my comparison as a complement, “She plays Dr. Weaver on…never mind.”

“No I know who that is.” She reassured me and then took another sip of her drink, the waiter brought mine over and smiled at the both of us before walking away. I took another drag of my cigarette and exhaled it in a direction that wasn’t hers, “Thanks.” After she said that I was almost positive that she was Laura Innes but something in my brain kept telling me that I wasn’t that lucky. I took a long drink from the glass that had been set down before me and then took another drag from my cigarette.

“So…”

“Tell me about your girlfriend.” She said her eyes were still smiling at me just slightly and suddenly she seemed like the kind of person that you just wanted to open up to, “What did you like about her?” I sat back in my chair and ran my fingertip around the rim of the glass for a moment as I thought. I was now mad at my girlfriend, well ex girlfriend, so it was hard for me to think of things that I liked about her.

“Her smile,” I replied after a moment of thinking, “The way she laughed, her soft hair, her sense of humor. The way she told me that she loved me every night before we went to sleep, her body, her mind…” I trailed off as I felt the tears coming back on. I didn’t want to cry in front of this woman, as a matter of fact I didn’t like to cry in front of anyone but sometimes I just broke down and what happened, happened. She reached into her purse and pulled out a tissue and handed it to me. I dabbed my eyes with it and then crumpled it into a fist as I told myself to stop crying. Was this the kind of reaction she was hoping for? If so I wondered why she wanted me to remember all the things I loved about my ex.

“Now tell me about all the things you hated about her.” She took another sip of her drink and watched me as I took one last drag from my cigarette and snubbed it out in the ashtray. It took me less time to think of things that I didn’t like about her, a lot less time.

“The way she chewed her food, and bit her nails, and the way she never paid for anything in her life because her daddy was rich, oh and the fact that she absolutely hated ER.” I replied and then laughed, suddenly things didn’t seem so terrible anymore. Now that she was gone I could find some one else who liked ER, or at least tolerated it. The woman nodded, and the waiter came over and set the food down. I had ordered a burger and some fries and until he actually set the food down in front of me I didn’t realize how hungry I actually was. I picked up the burger and took a large bite and chewed it eagerly, the woman took another drink and looked over to a table where there was a man and two kids sitting, “Oh god…am I keeping you from your family?”

“No,” She reached over and put a hand on top of mine, it was gentle and soft, I then caught a breeze of her perfume it smelled like wildflowers, “I told them I was coming over here to see if you were okay.” I was sort of disappointed that she wasn’t a lesbian, and that she wasn’t looking to have a good time with me, I mean she was the spitting image of…and then I saw him. He headed over to the table, he was tall and had a beard…well a goatee…Babcock.

“Babcock?”

“Excuse me?” Both of them said at the same time, but that’s when it hit me, I had been talking to Laura Innes the whole time. My jaw dropped, well after I swallowed the food of course, and I just stared at them.

“You…are you? Oh my god I feel like such an idiot.” I said and it took all of my will power not to actually slap myself in the head for not noticing it before. She laughed a little and took her hand off of mine, I couldn’t believe that Laura Innes had actually been trying to comfort me. She looked up at her husband who smiled at me, this was a once in a lifetime chance and it was passing so quickly now, I could barely find any words, “Dr. Weaver?”

“Well,” Laura replied and laughed again, “Her alter ego.” I blinked a few times and looked at my drink, maybe I had drank too much, or too little…in any case I hadn’t drank enough to make me normal. I took another big gulp and set the glass down on the table with shaky hands, Laura Innes had bought me a drink.

“It’s an honor to meet you,” I finally spat out my mouth was dry and my stomach was filled with butterflies. I don’t know why I didn’t make the connection earlier it just seemed so unreal, “I’m a huge fan.” I looked at her husband, I was a huge fan of his too. When he was on Hey Dude I watched that show every day, hell I was in love with that show like I was in love with ER. There I was sitting with Laura Innes, and that’s when tears stung my eyes but this time they were tears of joy.

“Oh sweetie don’t cry…”

“No these are definitely happy tears.” I put my hand on hers for a moment to reassure her but then I pulled it back wondering if it was even okay to touch such a woman, “I’ve…I mean…I’ve always wanted to thank you for being Weaver. I’ve always wanted to tell you how much it means to me to see a beautiful and feminine woman play a lesbian. I mean I understand that you aren’t a lesbian and everything and as much as I wish you were…sorry I’m babbling.”

“No you’re not…keep going…”

“Well um…if you were a lesbian or I mean if you were actually Dr. Weaver would you date me?” The question just shot out of my mouth, I barely had time to think it through before it came out. I was afraid of what I was going to hear next, I was afraid that she was going to get up and leave me, I was afraid that I had just made a total ass out of myself. She laughed again and looked at her husband, he laughed too, and I sighed with relief, maybe she got asked that question more then I thought.

“You’re a very attractive young lady…I think Weaver would like you.” She placed her hand on mine and squeezed it slightly, “It was nice to meet you but dinner is waiting.” She motioned to her table where the food had been set out, “What was your name again?”

“Uh…Monica.”

“Well nice to meet you Monica,” She stood up and pulled her purse over her shoulder, her kids started to call for her telling her that the food was ready, she waved to them to let them know she was coming and then turned back to look at me, “You are a very nice young lady I’m sure you’ll find some one.” Then she was walking away from me and I knew that I had to say something but what came out of my mouth next was probably one of the more idiotic things…

“Thank you Kerry…” I blurted out wanting to slap myself because I call her that but all that happened was she turned…and she laughed.

Isn't it possible that, even thirty or forty years after the death of a child or a brother or a sister, one may half-waken, thinking of that person with the same lost emptiness, that feeling of places which may never be filled....perhaps not even in death?

Thanks for the comments you guys I thought this was going to be a stupid Fan Fic but I guess since three people liked it, it was good. Right?
