Chapter 1
Hey everyone this is the sequel to My Best Friend's Brother. Not sure how good it will be and this will be my first sequel I have ever done, not that I am asking you to go easy on me because I want feedback.
I strongly recommend reading My Best Friend's Brother before you read this as there will be references for parts of the story.
"Hey Mrs Peterson?" asks Gabriella "How you feeling Alice?"
"A little better.," answers Alice
"Have the results come in yet?" asks Mrs Peterson
"As soon as I have them I will tell you Mrs Peterson the lab is being as quick as they can," says Gabriella
"How long till the wedding?" asks Mrs Peterson
"2 months to go," says Gabriella excitedly
Gabriella had graduated for Stanford University as a fully qualified paediatric Physician and child Physiotherapist and had been proposed to by her boyfriend Troy Bolton. Troy Bolton you say you've heard that name before of course you the boy who is 2 years qualified and had amazing references is kind and compassionate to his patients at Presbyterian Hospital were he works in the A and E department hoping to transfer into paediatrics as he is qualified in A and E and paediatrics. While Gabriella being a newly qualified doctor worked with one of the more experienced doctor's the head of the paediatric department while she found her feet.
"You can tell you excited got everything planed?" asks Mrs Peterson
Gabriella nods, "I have a dress fitting in 2 weeks," says Gabriella
"Is Doctor Bolton all sorted?" Alice
Alice is one of Gabriella own patients which her mentor assigned her. Alice had come into the A and E one day with her mother. She hadn't been feeling well and her mother took her to see there ordinary GP who had sent her for test at the hospital. Alice is under weight for her age, pale, tired all the time, breathless and having infections all the time that refuse to go away.
Gabriella has looked up these and thinks that Alice has acute lymphocytic leukaemia but is waiting for the test results to come in.
"Yeah Troy is sorted," says Gabriella
"Speaking of Troy," says Mrs Peterson pointing
Gabriella turns her head to see her brown haired fiancée making his way towards her.
"TRO," squeals Alice
"Hey Al how you feeling," says Troy
"Better Doctor Montez is taking care of me," says Alice
"I'm sure she is. She's very good at that," says Troy "Hey beautiful," he says turning to Gabriella "Ready for lunch?"
"Sure am I'll see you later Mrs Peterson, Alice" says Gabriella walking off hand in hand with Troy to the hospital cafeteria. Where Troy grabs the pasta dish of the day with a bottle of water and some fruit and Gabriella has a salad, diet coke and a chocolate brownie.
"So what do you think is wrong with Alice?" asks Troy
"I'd hate to say it since she'll only 10 but acute myeloid leukemia," answers Gabriella
Troy nods.
"You think the same?" asks Gabriella
"Yeah from what you decided to me at home. Pale, underweight, tired, breathless, constant colds," says Troy
"But then again you do get pale, underweight and tired from getting to many colds and maybe her immune system just isn't that strong," says Gabriella
"What about the breathlessness and the other symptoms that fit the bill for acute myeloid leukemia," says Troy
"Which leads me to think it is acute lymphocytic leukemia," says Gabriella
"Poor kid," says Troy
"We see it every day not every can come in get cured some people just aren't that lucky," says Gabriella
Half an hour later.
"Mrs Peterson I have the results back would you care to step over her a moment," says Gabriella
Mrs Peterson walks away from Alice's bedside to Gabriella
"Do you want the good news or the bad news?" asks Gabriella
"Bad and then good," says Mrs Peterson
"The bad news is Alice has acute lymphocytic leukemia," says Gabriella
"How is there are good news in that?" asks Mrs Peterson slightly tearing
"The good news is we've caught it early and it is treatable if we get the cancerous cells and do chemotherapy and radiotherapy there is a likelihood of 80% that Alice is going to be fine after treatment and that the cancer won't come back later in life," says Gabriella
"I'm going telling Alice," says Mrs Peterson
"Gabriella," says Gabriella's Mentor Doctor Sonia
"Yes Doctor Mac," says Gabriella
"I am the barer of good news," says Doctor Sonia
"What would that be?" asks Gabriella
"Troy is being transferred and is going to be assisting you with Alice but he answers to you as she was your patient first," says Doctor Sonia
"But I should listen to what he says as he has more experience," says Gabriella
Doctor Sonia nods.
"Gabby," says Alice who is at Gabriella's side.
"Yeah Alice?" asks Gabriella bending down to Alice's height
"Am I going to die?" asks Alice tearfully
Gabriella looks at Doctor Sonia.
"Sweetie what has you mum told you?" asks Gabriella leading Alice back to her bed.
"That I have a form of cancer but you caught it early," says Alice
"That's a good thing that we caught it early it means is more treatable and may take less time to cure," says Gabriella
"So if you caught it late it wouldn't be treatable," says Alice settling back into bed
"It would but the cancerous cells would have spend and it wouldn't just be in one part of you body it would be all over," says Gabriella
"I'm going to give you both some time to take it in while I and speak to my partner about how we can treat it," says Gabriella leaving to go find Troy in A and E.
"When Gabriella gets to the A and E department she doesn't spot Troy but does spot his head of department Doctor Mason.
"Hey Doctor Mason," says Gabriella
"I presume you're here because Sonia told you about Troy's transfer," says Doctor Mason
"Yeah she said," says Gabriella
"He is in the room 3 you can tell him," says Doctor Mason
"Knock knock," says Gabriella at Room 3.
Troy turns from talking to his patient to see Gabriella at the door.
"I'll be right back Mr Roper," says Troy getting up and going to the door
"You take your time I'm not going anywhere," says Mr Roper
"Hey Brie what brings you down here?" asks Troy
"Not much just you're transfer," says Gabriella
"I got the transfer to pediatrics," says Troy
"You did your to assist a new doctor with her leukemia patient," says Gabriella
"Let me guess you and Alice," says Troy
"Yeah she asked me if she was going to die Troy," says Gabriella
"I know you want to but you can't get to attached to the children," says Troy
"I know," mutters Gabriella
"I'll finish in here and then speak to Joe and probably come up," says Troy
Gabriella nods.
"You can't save everyone Gabs," says Troy
"I know," says Gabriella
"That hit you hard didn't when the girl died in Stanford," says Troy
"She was 6 Troy and it was only 7 months ago," says Gabriella
"I know but how far is the leukemia?" asks Troy
"Caught it early," says Gabriella
"So there is more chance of her being cured you have to stay strong for her," says Troy
"I know," says Gabriella
"See you in a bit," says Troy
"Troy you can go up now," says Doctor Mason
"Really what about Mr Roper," says Troy
"He's my patient and your other 3 have been disrupted.
As Gabriella and Troy walk up the pediatric department a sudden wave of nausea comes over Gabriella.
"Can we stop at the vending machine and get some water?" asks Gabriella clutching Troy's arm for support as she sways.
"Brie you don't look to good you feel sick?" asks Troy
"Nauseous," says Gabriella
"We'll get you that water, talk to Mrs Peterson and Alice and figure out the best treatment plan for Alice," says Troy
"Not to strenuous," says Gabriella as they enter the pediatric ward.
"Gabriella you have another patient 6 year old girl Mia she's broken her arm so she should be out within 2 hours," says Doctor Sonia
"And Troy you assisting Gabriella with Alice and you have a patient called Jacob 12 year old lad with a deep cut down his arm needs roughly 7 to 8 stitches," says Sonia
"Oh god," says Gabriella
"What?" asks Troy but Gabriella as already darted into the bathroom next to them and Troy can hear reacting.
"Doctor Bolton," says Alice
"Yes Alice?" asks Troy going over
"Is Gabby ok?" asks Alice
"Doesn't sound it," says Troy
"She ill?" asks Alice
"I'm fine Alice," says Gabriella
"Brie," says Troy
"Wildcat I'm fine," says Gabriella suspicious already forming in her mind at way she is being sick.
"Right I'm going dealing with Mia," says Gabriella "And booking a pregnancy test with Caitlyn," she thinks
"I'll go stitch up Jacob," says Troy
"And then Mrs Peterson we will come and talk to you about Alice's treatment," says Gabriella
Troy and Gabriella go to there separate patients.
