Father and Son part 4
"Ken, how come you're here"? Yamato asked as Ken entered the lounge.
"Hey Yama, did I not tell you?, I got my OR placement. I heard you and Joe worked in the ER here so I came by to say hello". Ken replied.
"OR? Do you know about my trauma patient"?
"The crash victim?, yeah, it was touch and go but there's a high chance she'll pull through".
"Good, I can't stand losing patients". Yamato said.
"Especially ones you know right?, I mean it must be hard. I understand why you were so eager to know". Ken said as he poured himself a coffee.
"What are you talking about Ken"? Yamato asked.
"Well Sora, the patient, what did you think I..." Ken was cut off.
"It's Sora!, oh shit"!
"You didn't know.".
"I gotta find that trauma kid". Yamato started to run out the door.
"Why"? Ken shouted after him.
"He's my son"! Yamato yelled as he ran down the corridor.
**
"Are you gonna go and find him"? Fijasu asked.
"I'll finish up first, make him look at little less daunting". Joe replied sadly.
The doors burst open and a very distressed Yamato ran in. "Let me see him". He demanded.
"Not yet Yama, we just need to finish up". Joe replied gently.
"I want to see him Joe, please". Yamato said, sounding desperate.
"Take over Fijasu" Joe ordered as he began to usher Yamato out of the trauma room.
"No! Tan!, TANOSHII"! Yamato yelled as the doors to the trauma room closed , cutting him off from his son. "Yamato please, calm down". Joe said.
"That's my son in there"! Yamato screamed.
"I know, I know, but the blood makes Tan look worse than he is, I just need time to clean him up. He needs to go up to the OR , but we'll make sure you see him before he does". Yamato shook in Joe's arms before falling to his knees, he began to hyperventilate. "Someone get me a gurney"! Joe ordered as he held his friend.
**
Yamato lay back on the bed, an oxygen mask covering his nose and mouth. Tai sat next to him, gently stroking his lover's hair in an effort to keep him calm. "Ssssh Yama, that's it, breathe". Tai said softly.
"He got into a bit of a state". Joe said.
"I'm not surprised". Tai replied. "How is Tan"?
"He's up in the OR right now. He should be in recovery in an hour or so".
"Good, will we be able to see him then"? Tai asked.
"I should be able to arrange it , yes". Joe replied.
"Thanks Joe, you saved his life". Tai said.
"No need for thanks Tai, I'm just glad I could do something, partly why I became a doctor. To help people". Tai nodded and turned back to Yamato, who had now slipped into sleep. "He's exhausted". Joe said gently. "We'll let him sleep".
"Can I stay with him"? Tai asked.
"Of course". Joe nodded and slipped out of the room.
**
"Joe, will you check the trauma patient, Sora Takenouchi"?. Hikemi asked.
"Sure". Joe replied, picking up Sora's chart. He wandered to her room.
Sora jumped when Joe entered the room. "OK, how are you feeling"? Joe asked.
"Better thankyou". Sora replied.
"Good, ok. I'll give you some more morphine for the pain, and I'll send a nurse to change the dressings. Anyone you want us to call"?
"Um.my boyfriend, Dan".
"I'll sort out a phone for you". Joe scribbled down notes on the chart. Sora remained silent. "Aren't you even going to ask how your son is"? Joe asked sounding hostile.
"Yes, how is he"?
"He's in the OR, he should be alright, and by the way, Yamato knows".
"I expected that".
"Naturally, he works here". Joe replied coldly.
"Joe.." Sora started.
"I don't want to hear it". Joe replied.
"We're friends Joe".
"Correction Sora, were friends. I can't forgive you for pulling this stunt, you've hurt a lot of people". Joe said as he left the room.
**
"You're doing well Simoshi". Ken said as he watched his student sew up the incision.
"His vitals are stable". The nurse said, looking at the nearby screen.
"Good, looks like the kid's gonna pull through". Ken smiled. The door opened and Natsuki opened the door. "Ken, Kido's on the phone, wants to know how things are". She said.
"Tell him , the kid's gonna be fine". Ken replied. Natsuki nodded and left the room.
"OK, we're done here, Simoshi , take him to recovery". Ken ordered.
**
"Tanoshii's gonna be fine Yama". Tai said as his lover woke up.
"Really"? Yamato asked.
"Yeah, really". Tai smiled, gripping Yamato's hand. Yamato smiled and pulled the oxygen mask off. "Can we see him"? he asked.
"Not yet, he's just going down to recovery , Joe will tell us when we can go". Tai replied. "Sora's alright too, do you want to go and see her"?
"Yes". Yamato said bluntly.
"Ok, she's just across the hall". Tai replied. Yamato nodded and got up. "I brought your bathrobe with me, those hospital thingys are a bit revealing". Tai grinned. Yamato pulled on his bathrobe and wandered across the hall into Sora's room. "Wait back in my room Tai". Yamato ordered. He opened the door and entered the room.
"Danny"? Sora asked, not turning around.
"Wrong". Yamato replied.
"Yamato..". Sora gasped as she turned around.
"Why did you do it Sora"? He asked.
"I don't know, I just wanted to see my son". She said quietly.
"You didn't have to resort to kidnap, I could've arrange visitation rights". Yamato replied.
"I wasn't thinking".
"No, you never do, do you"? Yamato asked. "All the way through our marriage you never thought. Only for yourself, which is exactly what you did tonight. Now, thanks to you, my son is in a critical condition, he's likely to pull through thank God, but that's no thanks to you. This is all down to your stupidity".
"Stop it Yama.". Sora begged, tears in her eyes.
"Why should I?, you couldn't resist shouting at me during our marriage. Yelling that I did too many hours, was married to the job. When all I was doing was trying to support you, you and my son. I might not have had a son to support anymore, don't you think that gives me the right to be more than a little pissed"? He yelled back.
"I'm sorry, I know it was a stupid thing to do, but I was scared".
"Of what"? Yamato asked, his voice turned less harsh.
"Yama, look at me, I'm not a good mother, I know that. I knew this whole custody battle was a farce, I knew you were going to win, I don't have a chance, I dumped Tan. I was scared I'd never see him again, I went a little crazy".
"You expect me to believe that"? Yamato asked. "You were going to take him away weren't you"?
"Yama.."
"Be honest, for once in your life be honest".
"I was. Danny had arranged a flight out of the country, he said we could start again in a new place". Yamato suddenly felt tears in his eyes, he blinked them back. "You were going to take my son away, somewhere where I would never see him again!, how could you"?
"All I wanted was a family, Danny said that he couldn't have kids..".
"So you settled for second best? The child you had dumped three years ago?, you never fail to sicken me"!. Yamato walked out of the room and slammed the door shut. Sora sobbed, the tears falling like rain. She suddenly felt a pain in her chest, she clutched it and hit the wall buzzer for the doctor.
