Drake told everyone the news.
"But that little boy died of the same condition. Is his heart strong enough?" Louie said.
"She didn't tell me, but I know it'll save Gosalyn. It just has to" Drake said.
"I'm sure it will. Gosalyn's a strong girl" said Scrooge.
Drake was having hope too. This heart just had to save is only daughter.
Gosalyn was now in the surgical room, wth her chest opened and her old heart removed. The surgeons had placed Gosalyn under anethesia, even though she was sleep anyway, so she wouldn't wake up during the operation.
Drake and the others were watching through the window. Through the whole thing, Drake was praying; praying that this new heart would save his only daughter.
For what seemed like a few minutes, a surgeon looked at them through the window and gave them a thumbs-up. Gosalyn's new heart was working. Drake just smiled with tears in his eyes.
Gosalyn lied asleep in bed in the recovery room, breathing softly. A nurse, Lauren, gently pulled a thin blanket over the patient to keep her warm.
Drake and the others were guided in.
Lauren smiled at them. "Be gentle with her" she said softly then left them alone with the child.
Drake gave Gosalyn a gentle kiss on the forehead. "Hey sweetie" he whispered.
Gosalyn's, eyes still closed, let out a deep breath. Then her eyes fluttered open. She was kind of loopy, so she couldn't talk just yet.
Drake gently stroked her hair. "Hi" he said softly.
Gosalyn looked around and saw Scrooge, the boys, and Launchpad smiling at her.
"Gos, these are my friends from Duckburg. They came to help you during your dilemma" Launchpad said softly.
Gosalyn just looked at them.
Drake smiled and gently slipped his hand into Gosalyn's.
Nurse Janet walked in. "Gos, you ready to go back to your room?" she asked softly.
Gosalyn slightly turned her head to where she was looking at her nurse. Janet just smiled and, with everyone's help, wheeled Gosalyn out of the recovery room.
After another two days, Gosalyn got to go home. The doctor had told her to take it easy for a while, so she got a chance to relax with her father. Scrooge and the boys were back in Duckburg and Launchpad was out playing with the neighborhood kids and making them laugh. But was this heart strong enough? That's one question Drake forgot to ask. Uh-oh!
AN: I know, it's a short chapter, but hey, I wanted to get it finished. Well, prepare yourselves, beacause the story's not over just yet. In my next story, Heart Transplant II, Drake is furious to find out that Gosalyn will need another heart. Will he have to pay again? Or will he have no choice but to watch his only but favorite daughter die? Review me and see what you think. Nothing negative please.
