The next morning, Landon got up early and packed their suitcases, and let
Jamie sleep. She rolled over and heard him packing, and got up to help him.
Ten hours later, they were on a flight back home to North Carolina. The mood this time was different than the mood they had on the way there. Jamie felt a little guilty about bringing it up so soon, but she knew that she couldn't hide it from Landon. Jamie fell asleep again on the flight, and when the plane was about to land, Landon gently woke her up.
They got their bags and since they hadn't parked their car at the airport, flagged a cab to take them to their new house. It seemed a long way from the airport. Jamie could tell that Landon was worried about her, because he seemed to be watching her more carefully than he usually did. Jamie spoke, "Landon, I'm sorry that I told you when I did, but I didn't want to keep it from you, and I didn't want you to worry," she said. "It's okay, I understand," said Landon, squeezing Jamie's hand. "Don't worry," he continued, "everything's going to be fine. I promise."
Later that day after they had unpacked their bags, they went to the doctor to make sure that Landon could donate his kidney to Jamie. The doctor said the procedure could be performed early the next morning. Jamie was very nervous about the surgery, and Landon was worried about Jamie.
The next morning, Landon woke up Jamie up, and they drove to the hospital for the surgery. They went to the desk to check in with the receptionist. They went to change out of their clothes and into gowns.
They were both wheeled into the operating room on separate beds, and given medication for the surgery. The doctor went in and took out Landon's kidney. They cleaned it and prepared it for putting it into Jamie. Since Landon's part was finished, he was sewn up and wheeled to the recovery room, where he would be waiting for Jamie to come out of her surgery.
Three hours later, Landon woke up in his bed. It was a pretty day outside. When they left the house, it was still dark outside. He sat up in bed and rubbed his eyes. He looked over towards the door and saw Jamie being wheeled into the room, but she was still asleep. He sat in his bed, flipping channels on the TV and waiting for Jamie to wake up.
About two hours later, Landon looked over and Jamie waking up. She looked over and saw him sitting in the bed next to her. "How do you feel sweetie?" he asked. "Tired, but ok. You?" she replied. "I'm okay, just a little tired too," he said. They both fell asleep in their beds, glad that they could go home in a day, and that the surgery had gone well.
