Dave's Secret
Part: 2
Dave headed toward the trauma rooms. He saw Doug talking to Elizabeth outside the trauma rooms. He walked over to them. He says "Where is she Doug?" Doug says "Where's who Dave?" Dave says "My daughter, Kayla." Doug and Elizabeth looked at each other then at Dave. Elizabeth says "Dave did you just say daughter?" Dave says "Yes I did, her name is Kayla she's 5 years old Carter said she was in a car accident with my sister." He looked at Elizabeth and she could see all the worry and fear in his eyes. He says "Elizabeth please where is she, where's my baby?' Elizabeth put a comforting hand on his shoulder. She says "She 's in trauma room 2. Dave pushed his way past Doug and Elizabeth and raced into trauma room 2. He finds Cleo whispering to his daughter trying to comfort her. The little girl looked over and saw Dave and cried "Daddy!" Cleo turned to see who she was talking to and was shocked to see Dave standing there. Dave walked over to the little girl and took her tiny hand in his and whispers "It's ok angel. daddy's here. He kisses her forehead.
Elizabeth had followed Dave into the trauma room. She stood there for a minute watching him with his little girl it was a side of Dave Malucci that she had never seen before. She walked over and lightly tapped his shoulder. "Dave I need to talk to you for a minute" Dave says "I don't want to leave her" Elizabeth says "you don't have to we can talk in here" Dave looks at Kayla he says "Angel daddy has to go talk to his friend for a minute. I'll be right over there you'll be able to see me." Kayla says "Ok Daddy" Dave says "That's my brave girl, I love you." He kisses her cheek" She says "I love you too daddy." Dave walks over to the other side of room. He says "Ok Elizabeth what is it?" Elizabeth says "Dave, Kayla needs surgery she has some internal bleeding its probably being caused by a ruptured spleen so we have to go in and repair the damage." Dave looked over at Kayla and back at Elizabeth. He says "Ok who will be doing her surgery?" Elizabeth says " I will, and I'll be assisted by Peter and Robert." Dave sighs. He says "Ramono operating on my daughter I don't know about that." Elizabeth smiled she says "Robert may be an ass but he is one hell of a surgeon and he's not operating alone Peter and I will be there too." Dave managed a little smile. He says "She'll be ok right." Elizabeth says "Of course she will, We need to get her up to surgery now. Dave says "Ok just let me talk to her for a minute."
He walks back over to his daughter. He takes her tiny hand in his again. He says "Sweetie daddy's friend Elizabeth is going to take you upstairs so you can go to sleep and while you are sleeping she's going to make your tummy fell better" Kayla says "Will you go with me daddy?" Dave says "I can't honey, but I promise that when you wake up I'll be right there holding your hand." Elizabeth whispers to Dave "We have to go now." Dave nodded. He followed Elizabeth to the elevator. He kissed Kayla and said "You be daddy's brave big girl" A few tears rolled down Kayla's cheeks as she whispered "Ok daddy. Dave whispers "I love you angel" Kayla whispers " I love you too daddy." The elevator doors open and Elizabeth steps in with the gurney. Dave looks at her he says "Take care of my baby" Elizabeth smiles and says "Don't worry I will." She gives his hand a comforting squeeze just as the elevator doors closed.
Dave tried to work but he couldn't keep his mind off Kayla. He knew Kerry would get pissed but he had to be upstairs. He threw the chart he had in his hand onto the admit desk and walked toward the elevator. He got in and rode up to the surgical ward He stooped at the desk he says "Shirley is Elizabeth still in surgery?" Shirley says "yes she is but you can wait in the waiting area if you want." Dave says "Ok thanks Shirley." He walks over to the waiting area he sees Kerry sitting on the sofa. Dave stops for a minute then he says under his breathe "Fuck it" He walks in. Kerry wasn't the only one there Carter, Carol, Abby, Doug, Cleo, and Jing Mei were also there. Dave looks right at Kerry he says "Chief I know I should be working but... Kerry gets up and walks over to him and much to his surprise she hugged him. She says "It's ok Dave John and Abby told us about Kayla and Donna." Donna god he'd forgotten about Donna. He says "Carter is Donna alright?" Carter says "she'll be fine she just had a few lacs that needed sutured and a nasty bump on the head she wanted to be up here"." So we made a deal with her we said you stay here and rest and we'll let you know as soon as Kayla is out of surgery." Dave says "Thank you Carter." Jing Mei says "Dave how come you never told us you had a daughter, where is her mother?"
Dave took a deep breath and says " To be honest I don't know why I never told anyone about Kayla, but it's time I did" He sat down. He says "I met Kayla's mom in Grenada while I was in medical school." "Her name was Andrea" "It was love at first sight for us" We dated for 2 months before we got married. She told me she was pregnant on the day I graduated medical school." " I was never happier than I was on the day Kayla was born." When Kayla was 5 months old we moved to Chicago." I was working at Mercy before I came here." "I had to work a double shift on our 3rd anniversary and Andrea was bummed out about it." "So she asked my sister Donna to keep Kayla who was now 2 over night." She was going to come surprise me at work but she never made it" " She was on her way when she was attacked." " She was raped beaten and left for dead." Tears were rolling down Dave's cheeks. "She was brought to Mercy's ER and I was there when the EMT brought her in." I watching the doctors as the shocked her trying to restart her heart but they were unsuccessful." "After the funeral Donna moved in with me she watches Kayla while I'm at work."
He looked around the room at his friends "He says I know she's been gone for three years but I still miss her so much." Carter says " I know how you feel Lucy has been gone for almost 2 years and I still miss her so much." Kerry squeezed her husband's hand even after nearly 2 years it was hard for him to talk about Lucy. Jing Mei walks over to Dave she hugs him tightly and whispers "Oh Dave I'm so sorry" Dave hugged her back and whispered "Thank you Jing Mei" Just then the Door opens and Elizabeth and Peter walk in with troubled looks on their faces. Dave panics He says
Elizabeth, Peter what is it is Kayla ok?"
What do Elizabeth and Peter have to say? Is Kayla ok?
