Chapter 14: Surprise Visitor

Like usual the ER was buzzing with people. It was only 10 Am and already she had gone through two surgeries. She was coming out of her second one when a patient with severe third degree burns came in. One of the nurses took the patient away and Serena went to her office trying to get a breather.

No less than fifteen minutes and she was needed again to help extract a piece of fencing that managed to stab a middle aged man.

"How did he say he got stabbed again?" Serena asked taking the patient's medical files listed on the clipboard and quickly going over it.

"And I quote, umm. I was trying to hook my cable up, and I climbed up the roof, slipped and landed on a piece of broken fence." She looked over at the case file. The fence piece seemed to be stuck inside of his thigh because the top part was a hook…almost like an arrow head.

"Great. A minor cut nothing too damaging." She said looking over the file. The man wouldn't have to go through a lot, any of the other nurses could have done it for him. God knows they were certified.

"Well, actually there's more." Serena handed the folder over to Claris, a frown set on her face when she took note of the girl's shy grin. Serena raised her brow and the nurse sighed turning the page for the patient's medical history.

"He's scheduled for a liver transplant and he has a piece of wire stuck in his leg. Seriously. This couldn't be easy for this once." She flipped through the papers. The man had a liver on its way in about two hours it would be here and in that time he needed to both get his leg fixed and his liver changed. Great!

She was about to head into the surgery room when she got called to the front desk.

"Yeah?" She asked Helena the nurse stationed there. The young blond pointed to the waiting area. Serena turned around and sighed heavily.

Two young kids with black hair and matching vests and suite pants walked in, they were holding hands and walking in unison.

Serena thought her jaw might fall off considering the way it was sticking down.

"What are you doing here?" She sounded so shocked Helena rose from her seat to see who she was talking to.

For some reason her heart contracted. The twins, were Endymion's children- at least that is what she could gather from what she had heard.

And Endymion was a vampire.

So…

She saw the sunlight from the entrance trailing in after them. She held her breath as the light edged closer, and closer, and closer, until it finally hit them.

For an instant the fear in her heard threatened to drown her.

"Why do you look frightened?" The female twin, Rini asked. Serena looked down at them, eyes wide…tears trailing down her face for some odd reason.

"I…Aren't you…isn't…" She was a at a loss for words. Serena just stared at them exasperated, as if expecting them to catch on fire at any standing moment.

"We are his children." The male, Endy replied taking a hold of her hand. Serena wanted to pull hers away, but for some reason her body would not do as her mind commanded.

She took his hand into hers, tenderly holding onto his young soft palm.

"And we are vampire." Rini said taking a hold of her other hand. She felt nostalgic. An image of the twins in old victorian style clothing flashed through her mind. It was a nice day out, she could see the wind blowing through the trees and a cottage across the lake they were standing by.

In the cottage she could see a man waving…Endymion.

"How did you get here?" Serena asked trying to snap herself out of her revere.

"Car…" They both replied at once. Serena smiled, they often do that. Answer questions directed to one or the other, together. It was something that she found very amusing, but could not help but wonder how they came about doing that.

"Dr. Tsukino…Dr…We need you in surgery." Serena turned around to acknowledge Helena's comment then turned to face the children. She ushered them into her office.

"Now!" Helena called again. Serena nodded.

"Look I'm kind of busy at the moment. Stay here if you need anything go to the front desk and they will help you, otherwise feel free to use my offices as you wish." She rushed over to the surgical room, taking a sanitation bath before stepping into the actual room where the patient was being prepped.

The process was a nightmare.

Serena had to extract the piece of wire and then in the same breath transplant a liver before the guy woke up from the morphine, and with the way her mind was spinning around over the twins, their arrival and the meaning of their rival held in regards to her she was completely out of her game.

She was removing her surgical uniform when one of the nurses came in.

"Are they…yours?" Serena turned and looked at Helena removing her face mask. She knew who Helena was referring to and she also knew that she had never been pregnant before…but for some unexplainable reason, she couldn't deny them.

"I…Its complicated." Serena stated walking out of the room. She headed to her office immediately from there, knowing full well that she did not have that much time before something else came up.
