AN: Hey guys...i forgot to write in Isabel-Steve's daughter-I thought I did...sorry about that...so here's the revised chapter...okay 1st of all thank you for all the reviews...
for this chapter, i had this song playing in my head while i was writing it: "Saving Josh" by Trevor Morris-it's the same one that they used in Moonlight "Fated to Pretend" that episode was so bittersweet, i still like to watch it off of youtube.
AN2: okay FAIR WARNING-THIS IS AN INTENSE CHAPTER, YOU WILL BE EXHAUSTED AT THE END OF IT.
Chapter 7: Fighting for life
It had been the hardest on Isabel who was frusterated because she couldn't fix her dad, she just had to sit and wait till he came around and she hated that so after a few days passed by she had enough of just sitting and watching him-looking at him who was laying so still in the bed, Danny came in with two cups of coffee, "Oh bless you...you read my mind. Thanks Danny"
"No problem"
Everyone was on shifts watching over Steve including Kono. Saturday afternoon was when everything changed. Danny, Chin and Isabel were still chasing leads as to the wherabouts of WoFat.
It was Kono's shift to watch over him. She was in the midst of a book when she got a call. She stepped out to take it, "Kalakaua" there was nothing but the sound of the ocean on the other side so she tried again, "Hello...anyone there?" They hung up and she huffed then all of the sudden she heard of the PA "Code Blue-room 302-Code Blue"
"Oh god...noo Steve!" She ran to his room where she was pushed back out by a nurse, "NOOOO...LET ME GO...OH GOD...STEVE...PLEASE DON'T DIE-I NEED YOU!" She screamed out as she went limp into the nurse's arms and cried then she heard a flat-line, "NO NO NO..." This was too much for her and her legs couldn't hold her up anymore; she collasped onto the floor surprising the nurse as she fell backwards. She quickly bent down and checked her vitals-pluse was good and strong-"I need a doctor over here NOW!" She yelled out and a doctor came rushing out of the break room, "What happened?"
"She collasped when she heard her boyfriend's heartbeat stop, it was too much for her and she...she just collasped...she's out cold."
"Okay...lets move her to a bed. What is her name?"
"Kono Kalakaua-she was a patient here a few days ago for a GSW to the shoulder and her boyfriend Commander Steve McGarrett is still a patient-his was much worse-GSW to the chest, ripped a hole in the top of his heart-' before she could finish she was cut off by screaming and running coming from three people.
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER?" Danny, Chin and Isabel yelled out as the saw Kono being moved to a bed. They ran over, "Doc, what happened?"
"Apparently she collasped"
"What?-why-ohh dear god...please tell me Steve's alright?" Danny asked with fear and panic in his voice.
"I really don't know what happened...they're still working on him...This nurse was with her, could you tell us what excatly happened please, miss?"
"Oh it's Alex...well we got a code Blue for this room, we all rushed in to see what was wrong and he had flat-lined. Doctor Smith started doing chest compressions while another nurse ran out to get the paddles. I saw her run in and I feared she'd get in the way so I stopped her out here. She heard everything, started yelling out to him, and she went limp against me and started crying then she heard him flat-lining once again and that's when she just collasped onto the floor. Honestly it happened so quick I didn't really know what happened till I saw her on the floor then you guys came in."
"Oh dear lord...how did this happen? He was doing just fine, healing up nicely..." Chin wondered with worry laced in his voice then Danny's face changed that looked like an anyurisum face, "Danny...you alright?"
"WoFat did this...I know it...has to be...nobody's fine for a few days then just flat-lines out of the blue for no reason."
"But she would've stopped him."
"Yeah"
"Excuse me but she stepped out to take a phone call then all hell broke loose" Alex informed them.
Meanwhile in the room Doctor Smith was getting frusterated by the minute trying to revive Steve, "Come dammit...you can not do this...too much to live for...breath Commander! That's an order!" She yelled as she finally banged her fist into chest and he gasped loudly. "Oh thank god...you're back...Steve...clam down...you're in the hospital...you have a tube down your throat...clam down Commander, that's an order...good...now I need you to cough for me when I tell you so we can get the tube out okay?"
Steve nodded but his eyes were still panicked as he coughed when she told him to; she held a cup of water for him with a straw and he drank like a dying man in the desert. "Whoa Steve, slow down, you'll get sick."
He took one more drink then nodded and looked up, "K..Kono? Isa..Isabel?" He rasped out-his voice sounded dry and not like him because he hadn't used his voice.
"She's out in the hallway on a gurney-" before she was able to finish, Steve was already trying to get out of bed to see about her, she kind of had to fight him to stay down, "STEVEN! YOU'RE GOING TO HURT YOURSELF, NOW CALM DOWN!"
"I WILL ONCE IF SHE'S OKAY...WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?" He sorta yelled out in a strained, rasped voice.
"I don't know but I will find out. Oh hey Doctor Michaels, I was going to come find you. How's Kono?"
"She's fine...she just collasped from the shock of Steve flat-lining...she'll wake up in a few minutes. Steve look who's here"
"Hey Danno, Hey baby...where's Chin?"
"Daddy! Oh thank god you're alive..." She ran over and hugged him but not to tight, she didn't want to hurt him, "Dad...Kono was pretty upset, she passed out." Isabel said before Danny could say anything then he spoke up.
"Staying with Kono until she wakes up. Apparently she took it pretty hard when your heart stopped. So doc, what drug did this?"
"We'll have to test for it. You think someone did this on purpose?"
"Yes and I know who"
"Who?"
"WoFat" Steve pipped up before Danny could say anything, "It makes sense and so convinent for him to just off me right here. I mean who'd suspect a doctor in a white coat coming in and checking on a patient. Danny you have to find him. How's everything looking Doctor?"
"Good actually...the hole is healing nicely...we'll keep you a couple of extra days."
Steve smiled as soon as he saw Kono coming running in the room, "Oh god Steve you're alive! I was...nevermind I'm just glad you're alive." She bent down and gave him a rough, passionate, burning kiss and he gave the same amount of intensity. They finally broke apart for some much needed air and he reached up with his hand and gently wiped away her tears with the back of his thumb. Both doctors left and it was just the five of them again. Kono couldn't stop touching Steve and Chin, Danny and Isabel just smiled because they knew just how much pain she had been in.
"Kono who called you?"
"I have no idea...they wouldn't speak on the phone then...then that happened and they hung up. Here you can look at it but it's says restricted."
They looked and indeed it said what she told them. Danny pipped up, "Did you see anyone go into the room?"
"No...wait a minute I thought I saw a doctor go in but oh god...I should've been in here...that...that-" Steve scooted over and pulled her to him, "Breath...it's okay baby I'm right here...Shhh...It's okay"
"NO...it's not okay...I came so close to loosing you...it's all my fault...I...I've never been so ssscared." At that moment she brust into tears and buried her face in the crook of his neck and he tighten his arms around her. "We're gonna go and see if we trace that call." Chin said softly because both of then knew that they needed some alone time. Steve just nodded and he continued to rubbing her back soothingly. He looked down at her pained face as she continued to cry her heart out, "Baby...look I'm alive...feel my heartbeat" He took her hand and placed it over his heart and she smiled and looked up at him, "I love you Steven McGarrett."
"And I love you also Kono Kalakaua."
She was lulled to sleep by the sound of him humming to her and he thought about something that would change both of their lives, something that he thought he'd never get the chance to do and with that he fell asleep.
Isabel was now seeing red as they drove back to HQ to hopefully find a trace. 'That man is going to pay with his life.' She made her mind up right then and there that he was going to die because no one does this to her family and gets to keep breathing. He's been alive way too long as far as she was concerned. She was determined to end this madness, it had to stop or else Steve was going to break and she couldn't have that.
Chin and Danny knew something was going on in her head because she was sporting that anyerisum/thinking face just like her father but they couldn't say anything because they knew from experience that once Steve got something into his head he wouldn't let it go and they knew she was just like him but that could be a good thing. They walked in with a purpose and immediately began running a trace on Kono's cell.
AN: Please review-what did you think? was that song playing in your head?
