YAY! I'm so happy with all the good reviews I'm writing this now, and I was planning to write it tomorrow :)
Payton Tyler- Thank you! The medical stuff was the first thing that I wrote. I always wanted to see Strong Medicine too, but I always forget when is it and in what channel :p
Magical Turkey- I can't promise anything...
AL- Yes, I've seen it happen on the show before. I think it's because the blood flow eventually it leads to the heart.
Thanks to everyone else who review, cookies for everyone! (:.) (:.:) (:.) (.:)[-- Those are the cookies, hope everyone likes chocolate chips...]
And something I forgot on the first chapter- I don't own nothing {I just borrow and don't return} ;)Now chapter 2:
Second Chances: Chapter 2. Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies
-After the doctors took Joan up to surgery-
"Now the surgery is probably going to take a few hours, all you can do now is wait. There's a cafeteria on the other side of the street, the food there is kinda decent if anyone is hungry. And there's a chapel in the eight floor if you want to go pray. I'm going to call a nurse that can take you up to the surgical waiting room. Carol come here"
"What is it Dr. Ross?"
"Can you show the Girardi's up to the surgical waiting room?"
"Sure, follow me."
"Thank you doctor" Said Helen and with that they followed Carol to the fifth floor
-Surgical waiting room, 5th floor-
"This is it" Said Carol "Now you can go ask the receptionist for more information on Joan. I really think she'll make it. She's young and healthy"
"Thanks" Said Will to Carol as she left
"I'll go ask the receptionist Will" Said Helen "See if she knows something new"
"Ok. Adam, Grace if you want to go I can take you home" Offered Will
"No thanks Mr. G" Said Grace "We'll wait until she comes out of surgery to see if she's fine. But I'm going go call my parental units"
"Uh, me too" Said Adam and they left to find a phone
"The receptionist only knows the same thing we already knew, but I left her your cell number and she said she'll call if anything happens or when they're finished and we're not here" Said Helen coming back
-Later-
Everyone was sitting talking to each other except for Helen that was just sitting alone. She got up from her chair
"Where are you going honey?" Asked Will
"Eight floor" Said Helen
"Oh, then I'll go too" Said Will
"I want to go too" Said Kevin
"I'd like to go too" Said Luke
"All right then let's all go" Said Will as everyone stood up
"Don't worry Mr. and Mrs. G, Rove, Rebeca, and I will stay here, and if they say something we'll go get you" Said Grace.
"Thanks Grace" And the family left
-This is what Joan is thinking while she is unconscious-
"I think I have a headache. Why is it so dark in here?"
"You just have to open your eyes Joan" Said another voice
"Oh, I knew that" Joan opened her eyes "Hey, Where am I? What's this place?" Joan was standing in the Trauma room while they were working on her; she was kind of a ghostly see-through transparent "Oh! Oh! That's me. Why is that me? What happened?"
"You're in the hospital Joan" Said the voice of cute boy God.
"Am I dead?? Oh God!! I'm dead!! I'm dead!! I'm dead!!!" She screamed running hysterically in circles passing through all the stuff in the room "And now I'm a ghost!! " She stopped running for a second "Wait, if I'm dead, then where is the garden and the fountains and flowers and all that stuff?"
"You're not dead Joan, look the monitor is beeping"
"Oh Thank God"
"You're welcome"
"What happened?"
"What's the last thing you remember?"
"The dance, then I was with Ramsey, then pain, blood, my dad, Adam... Adam was there. And then darkness, until now."
The monitor went flatline
"Oh, oh. Now I'm dead!! Do something!" Joan screamed at the doctors as they worked and shocked her back to life "Oh thank you doctor" Then the other doctor came in and took her "Where are they taking me?"
"They're trying to make you better."
"I thought you said nothing was going to happen to me"
"I said I've never endangered you before. Things happened the way they were supposed to happen. It's all part of the plan"
"The plan was for me to get shot? The plan sucks" She said mad
"It's a perfect plan Joan"
"Am I going to die? Is that part of the plan too?"
"Joan, you know I can't tell you that"
"You know, Rocky told me I'm supposed to die February 5, 2066. And since I don't know if you own a calendar, that's not today!!"
"Come on Joan, let's go far a walk" God said and took Joan to the waiting room where her family was standing talking to the doctor
She heard the doctor say she was going to have surgery
"What!! Surgery!?" She paused a second "So if I'm having surgery right now, why am I here?"
"It's called out of body experience, a lot of persons have had them. It's a little something I made to make persons think of something or see something they would usually ignore"
"So I'm supposed to see of something?"
"There are some things you need to figure out on your own, See you Joan"
"Wait, you're leaving?" Joan asked, but God had already left
Then she watched herself being shocked again, and she saw the expression on everyone's faces. "Why didn't it worked? I don't want to die!" They got her back "Thank you"
Joan stood there a second not knowing what to do. She then followed her family and friends to where they were going.
Now they were in another waiting room. She watched her family sitting there and listened to what they were saying. God had told her to listen and she was.
Then her family got up to go some eight floor. Adam, Grace and Rebeca stayed there. She didn't know where they were going but followed them anyway.
-Eight floor, The chapel-
The chapel was small, but comfortable. It had white flowers as decoration, and 10 rows of seats. There was an altar in the front.
Everyone sat in a different row, except Kevin that stayed in his chair. The first one to go the front was Helen. Joan listened
'God, I can't stand another tragedy in my family. I almost lost my husband last week. I almost lost my son. Don't do this to me again! Please. I'm trying to hold my family together, but it's getting too difficult for me to handle all this pain. Please God, don't take my Joan, don't take my little girl. Please... She still has so much to do and to see' Helen wiped the tears from her face, lighted a candle and went to sit besides Will. Joan was crying too, though no one could see her.Will stood next. 'God it's me Will Girardi, but then I guess you already know who I am. I know I don't pray as often as I should, and I only pray when I need something. Like last week when I asked you to save my life, or when I asked you to save my son. I never thanked you for saving my son. Thanks for not letting Kevin die. I'm going to ask you the same thing today. Please save my daughter. There are a lot of bad people in this world. I see it everyday at work, so why her? Why my baby? She did nothing wrong. Please' Will stood up and took his seat next to Helen. They sat there finding comfort in each other arms.
Kevin went next. He moved to the front and started to pray too 'Wow, I haven't done this in a long time. I don't think I remember how to do this correctly. Anyway, please God save my sister... I think this is the part where I promise something. I promise to... to be good... No that sounds to cheesy. I don't know what to promise, but please save my sister anyway. When I had the accident our family drifted apart. If we lose Joan now, I'm afraid of what would happen to us.' Joan put a hand on Kevin's shoulder as he wheeled himself back to where he was before
Luke was the only one left. He got up and shyly made his way to the front. He started 'Hi God, it's me... Luke. I don't think I've done this before ever. I didn't do it for Kevin's accident, and I didn't had a chance to last week. Thanks for that, last week, for saving dad. It's only now that I think we're really starting to connect as father and son. Please don't let anything bad happen to Joan. Please! I know she's always calling me a geek, and she's weird and moody, but all girls are. Please God...' Luke got up and took the seat next to Kevin's chair. Joan looked at her family crying. She had no idea what to do now.
"I wonder if this is what I was supposed to hear?" Asked Joan to herself as Adam walked through the door
"Adam? What are you doing here?" Asked Helen shocked to see the boy there
"I came to pray too Mrs. Girardi" Said Adam nervously
"Oh Adam, I didn't knew you prayed"
"I don't. I'm doing this for Jane Mrs. Girardi"
"Oh Adam, call me Helen"
"All right, Helen" There was awkward silence "Yeah... that sounded weird, I'll stick to Mrs. Girardi"
"Yeah, Thank you" Said Helen laughing and went back with Will to leave Adam alone
Adam, unsure of what to do, just stood there. Joan watching him, even if he couldn't see her. 'God. Funny I haven't thought of you in some time now, almost four years. My mom was the one that made us go to church, and after she... well you know, dad and I never went back. I know lately Jane and I haven't been getting along too well, but that's not a reason to take the most important person in my life again. I want to see her again, get a chance to touch her again, get a chance to kiss her for the first time... I... I think ... I think I love her. Please don't take her away form me' Adam then went and sat next to Kevin and Luke. Joan just stood there
"He... He loves me? I thought he hated me..." Joan headed to where her brothers and Adam where sitting "Adam..." She lent in and hugged him, but she just passed right through him
"And what are you still doing here? Asked Luke "I thought you hated my sister?"
"I don't know. When I saw her get in the car with Ramsey my heart just stopped. And then when I saw her bleeding, I just... I realized I don't hate her. I never did. I was just mad. I tried to hate her, but I couldn't"
"It's ok Adam" Said Kevin "She's going to be ok, you'll see"
"But, I want a chance to tell her that, tell her how I feel"
"And you will tell her, Cheer up man" Said Kevin
"Everyone" Screamed Grace in the door "The doctor wants to talk to you"
"So I guess I'm going to be fine now. Whoa" Joan got dizzy and passed out, and then disappeared.
