Next Morning….

Hospital – Brax and Kyle's room

Brax was currently sat on the bed beside his younger brother with Ricky going through all the tests to make sure everything was still ok for him to give Kyle one of his kidneys.

"I can't believe I'm going to get a new fully working kidney today!" Kyle says with a smile on his face.

"Just as long as you look after it as I won't have a spare one to give you" Brax says causing everyone to laugh, just as Nate enters the room.

Nate stands in between both beds and says: "It's time to go guys."

With that, both Brax and Kyle were wheeled out of the room as they head to the operating theatres.

Nate stays behind once they had been wheeled away, to let everyone know that the operations are probably going to take awhile if they all want to leave the hospital for a bit and come back later.

"We are staying!" They all say at once.

3 hours later…

Hospital – Waiting Room

Everyone was gathered in the waiting room spread out waiting for any piece news they could get.

Roo had joined the group halfway through the second hour with food and drinks from the Diner for them all. She was also there to see how Phoebe was doing.

"I'm fine Roo, honestly. I will be even better when Kyle is out of surgery." Phoebe tells her.

Roo looks at Phoebe: "I'm so proud of you!"

"Why?"

"Not many people who were in your position, would have be able to go through everything that you have with Kyle and still not tell anyone until they had no other choice."

"I thought you were angry with me because of that?" Phoebe asks confused.

"I was but in the end I saw you only did what you did because you care about Kyle." Roo tells her, as she pulls Phoebe into a hug.

They then go back to sitting in silence.

Bianca and Heath are sat on the other side of the room trying to keep Ricky's mind off the risks that could happen during the surgery.

"So Ricky, we were thinking of staying a bit longer that way Connie could spend more time with Darcy and you can spend more time with Harley." Bianca tells her friend.

Heath butts in with: "And I can go surfing, as I can't really do much of that in the city!"

Ricky laughs at what Heath had said, then says: "That would be nice to have the four of you staying longer and will you have time to go surfing?"

"Yeah why wouldn't I?"

"Well Brax might decide he needs your help at the restaurant." Ricky suggests to Heath.

"Trust me Ricky, that will never happen as that is what Kyle is for!" Heath tells her.

Bianca then reminds him: "Kyle will not be doing anything for awhile until he is 100% healed."

With that the three of them continue to talk about the plan for them to stay in the Bay longer.

Suddenly a phone rings, William gets up and leaves the room to answer his phone.

Callie watches as her dad walks out the room then turns to her mum: "What do you want to bet that it's his boss saying he needs to get back to work?"

Louise tells her daughter that it is probably just her father's parents ringing to seeing how Kyle was doing. William then walks back into the room and makes his way back to where he had been sitting.

"That was work, my boss just told me that he hopes everything goes okay with Kyle and that I can take as much time off as I need too." William informs them.

Callie speaks: "See! I knew it would be his boss!"

"Yes but were wrong about why his boss was calling!" Louise reminds her.

Casey and Tamara were sat in the corner of the room at the table with their backs to everyone so they wouldn't be distracted while trying to do their holiday homework.

"So tell me again, why I'm doing this?" Casey asks his girlfriend.

Tamara reminds him: "Well we don't have long left to finish it considering we return to school in a couple of weeks. Plus, it's give both of us something else to focus on while Brax and Kyle are in surgery."

With that the continue with their homework, working through the practise history exam questions they had been given.

37 minutes later…

Everyone was still sitting in the waiting room, when Nate enters with a smile on his face.

"How are they?" Ricky asks as soon as she sees Nate.

"Both of their surgeries went well and they are now in recovery. So as soon as they out I will send Hannah in to come and get you once I've checked them over. Only problem is there can only be two of you in the room at any given time until we have moved them from the ICU to a normal hospital room. Now I will leave you to discuss amongst yourselves who will going in first." Nate says as he leaves the room again to check on Brax and Kyle.

1 hour and 9 minutes later…

Hospital – Brax and Kyle's ICU room

It had been decided that Ricky and Phoebe should go first and every else can take turns later, that way there wouldn't be any arguments.

Ricky was sat talking to Brax who had woken up not longer after the girls had entered the room.

"Did Nate not tell you how long it would be till he wakes up?" Brax asks Ricky.

"No he didn't, all he was it might take Kyle longer to wake up then you as his surgery took longer what with having to take both of his kidneys out and replacing them with yours." Ricky replies.

While they were talking amongst themselves, Phoebe was sat holding her boyfriend's hand when she suddenly felt her hand being squeezed.

"Kyle?" She says, which catches both Brax and Ricky's attention.

"What is it Pheebs?" They both ask.

"He just squeezed my hand!" Phoebe explains.

Ricky gets up from where she had been siting on Brax's bed and walks over to Kyle just in time to see him open his eyes.

"Hey, welcome back to the land of the living!" She says to him.

Kyle's hand instantly goes to remove the oxygen mask off his face: "H how di did it go?"

Phoebe lets him know that Nate said the surgery went as good as can be expected and before he has a chance to ask she also tells him that Brax is fine too.

"Hey mate!" Brax shouts across the room so Kyle knew he was there.

Walking towards the door, Ricky tells them: "I'll go find Nate and let him know Kyle is awake."

Once Ricky had left the room, Phoebe goes back to talking to Kyle but stops when she notices him starting to drift off back to sleep due to the anaesthetic still wearing off.

10 minutes later…

Nate finishes checking Kyle over and tells them that he is doing fine and that the fact he went back to sleep so quickly after waking up is not something to be concerned with as it is to be expected with any surgery.

"How long will we be in the hospital then, Nate?" Brax asks the doctor.

"Now your starting to sound like Kyle!" Nate laughs then says "If everything stays on track then I will have you both moved to a more private room out of the ICU that way everyone can come in and see you both. Then in about 5 days I will check to see how your doing Brax and if I think your ok, I will discharge you but I want to keep Kyle for another week after I discharge you to be safe, then and only then if I think he is fit enough to leave I will discharge him too.:

They all look at each and Phoebe says: "Great!"

Nate knowing full well that what Phoebe said was a reference to how fun its going to be once Kyle fully wakes up and finds out how long he will still be in hospital for as he will not be happy.

6 Hours later…

Hospital – Brax and Kyle's Private room

Both brothers, were now settled into a private room surrounded by their loved ones.

"Can we just say again Brax, thank you so much for doing this!" Louise and William both say to the oldest Braxton brother.

"That's ok and seriously you can stop with the thank yous now as that's like the 500th time you have said it." Brax tells them.

Casey pipes up with: "I'm just glad that you are both okay."

Everyone agrees with that statement just as Hannah enters the room to tell them that it's time for them all to go home as visiting hours are over.

35 minutes later…

Once everyone had left, Kyle turns to his brother: "Thank you Brax!"

"It's no problem and I've been wanting to ask you something since your birthday but never really had the chance till now." Brax says to him.

"What?"

"Well, once your back to full fitness, I would like you to become the manager of the restaurant as I still can't fin anyone right for the job and you know the place like the back of your had. Plus, you have pretty much being doing the job since Brad left anyway."

"Really?"

"Yes really, so what do you say baby brother?" Brax asks.

Kyle is silent for a couple of seconds, then speaks: "Yes, I will make sure that I run the place properly."

With that the two brothers stop talking and go to sleep as the day had been long one.
