Like Mother, Like Daughter
Chapter 4
Dr. Corday cursed under her breath as she worked on Emma's leg. She had thought there might be some chance that she could save the severed leg but it had been too badly damaged and had to be amputated above the knee. Corday stepped back and admired her work. It was one of the best amputations she had ever done. Now if only she could figure out why Emma looked so familiar.
"John…what do you think they are doing to her?" Kerry leaned heavily on her crutch. Carter knew the answer but he didn't answer. Just then Corday came out of the OR. "John…Kerry what are you doing up here?" "Elizabeth…we're here to see Emma," Kerry stumbled on her words, "my d-daughter." Elizabeth gasped in surprise but Carter mouthed over Kerry's head that he would explain later. Elizabeth made a quick recovery, "Yes of course. She went into recovery half and hour ago, how about in an hour? She should be awake enough to talk by then."
Carter and Kerry sat down on some chairs and Elizabeth explained that they had to amputate the leg. Kerry didn't look surprised, as a doctor, she had known that would have to happen. After an hour of making small talk, a nurse came over and said they could see Emma.
Kerry got up slowly and walked over to the room. She turned and told Carter he could leave if he wanted but he said unless he got called down he would stay. Kerry could see through the window that Emma was talking to a nurse. She took a deep breath and walked in the room. Emma's eyes raised to her and widened in surprise as the two just stared at each other; Kerry with tears in her eyes and relying on her crutch to help her stand and Emma with a shocked look on her face, not sure what to think.
Stay tuned for more!
