Hour after hour passed and still Drakken sat waiting for news of Shego. He felt like nobody cared that he was alone and scared for Shego's life. He thought back to when they were on the island, before Junior had shown up and they were alone. Despite the hardships, Drakken knew that they had had some good times together. He hoped Shego felt that way too.
At last, Drakken grew sick of waiting. Shego's brothers had all gone to eat at Bueno Nacho. He felt like they didn't care either. A few months ago, Drakken wouldn't have cared about Shego this much, but now everything was different.
Getting up out of his seat, Drakken crept along the hallway where he had seen the doctor go. Suddenly, he heard someone coming. Panicking, he turned and ran to the nearest door in sight which was a room that said, 'ROOM 717' on the door. He pushed open the door and darted into the room as fast as he could. Collapsing on the examination table from exhaustion and relief that he had not been caught, that was when Drakken got his great idea.
On the counter next to the sink was a doctor's shirt, coat and gloves. Drakken took off the gigantic blue and black shirt Hego had lent him when they were on the plane. Then, he slid into the white hospital shirt and yanked the coat on over that. Buttoning up the long white coat, while looking in the mirror over the sink, he noticed something was not right.
His hair. It had grown quite long since they had first arrived on the island. His pony-tail holder had snapped during his wild get-away from the coconut throwing monkey. Drakken frowned at his reflection in the mirror. He had become quite scraggly-looking indeed.
Rummaging through the drawers until he found a pair of scissors, he gazed one last time at his long hair, then began to snip. After having his hair long for so many years, this was a shock to Drakken and his hands shook quite a bit as he tried to make his hair look presentable.
After the final cut to his hair had been made, Drakken looked at himself in the mirror. His hair was far from good looking. One side of it was spiky and very short and the other side was thick and layered against his head.
'Well,' Thought Drakken, forcing himself to look away from the mirror. 'At least it's sort of professional looking, I think.'
Sighing with disappointment that he would not be able to put his hair in a ponytail for a long time, Drakken washed his face and hands and pulled on the plastic gloves. Then, he opened the door of 'ROOM 717' and stepped out into the hallway to begin his career as a doctor.
Halfway down the hallway, Drakken passed a nurse in a long white dress who smiled at him as he passed.
'I think my plan is working!" He thought in excitement.
Rounding the corner, he almost bumped into a large doctor who was franticly running around like he was urgently looking for someone. To Drakken's surprise, the Doctor's face lit up when he saw him.
"Doctor Dronic?" The large doctor asked Drakken, excitedly.
"Yes," Drakken said nervously, "That's me." He took a deep breath and told himself to remain calm.
"Good. We are in the middle of an emergency operation. We need your help. I'm Doctor Adam Lou."
"Well, good thing you found me then, Doctor Lou." Drakken said confidently, trying to be convincing.
"Yes." Doctor Lou smiled at Drakken, "This operation is getting tricky. I hope you don't mind blood, because there's a lot of it."
"Oh no, not at all. I love blood, It's my job!" Drakken said, following Doctor Lou down the hallway.
'Oh God.' Drakken thought desperately. 'I can't stand blood. It makes me nauseous. Why did I have to say that?'
"Here we are." Doctor Lou announced when they reached the operation room. "Put on this mask and clean gloves."
Drakken did as he was told and followed Doctor Lou into the operating room.
As Drakken walked into the operating room he was nervous, but when he saw SHEGO on the operating table he felt faint and shaky all over. He started to turn back toward the door.
'How did I get myself into this?' He thought in his fear. 'I dressed up as a doctor to try and find out how Shego was doing and now I'm standing here over her unconscious body and I'm expected to operate on her? What if I mess something up? I can't do this I just can't!'
"Doctor Dronic?" A short female Doctor called over to him, "What are you doing? We need you now!"
Breathing in a deep breath, Drakken forced himself to face the other doctors, and worse of all, Shego.
"What do you want me to do?" Asked Drakken, his blue cheeks going pale at the sight of blood.
"Oh," replied Doctor Lou, "We just need some extra help. You see, this woman was having triplets but something went wrong so we have to remove the babies and try and save their lives and the mother's."
"I see." Drakken muttered, his voice cracking with emotion.
"So," said Doctor Lou, as he continued the procedure on Shego as he talked, "We've opened her up and removed the first baby, which unfortunately didn't survive even the first few minutes of life, it was too fragile and weak. But, we need help with the last two if they are to survive. We have got all the proper equipment here, we just need some extra hands. So when I get the next baby it will be handed to you and then you hand it to Doctor Shanna who will try to save it's life and get it's heart beating properly again. Got it? Time's a wasting."
Drakken felt his eyes filling with tears as he handed the next lifeless baby to Doctor Shanna, who declared it stillborn. He felt so terribly horrible for Shego. What would her reaction be when she woke up to find her children dead?
As the final baby was handed to Drakken, he felt utterly hopeless. But then something made him gasp. The baby was breathing, it was very much alive as Doctor Shanna, with a small smile on her face placed the tiny baby girl into an incubator.
As the other doctors closed Shego up, Drakken followed Doctor Shanna with Shego's small baby in the incubator to an emergency infant room where there were other small premature babies like Shego's.
"She'll be just fine here." Doctor Shanna said with a quick glance at Drakken. "Nice hair by the way." She remarked, trying hard not to laugh.
"Uh...thanks." Drakken replied, embarrassed.
"Thank you so much for helping us through the operation. You helped save a child's life. Now let's hope we get a good outcome from the mother."
"It must be hard for her when she finds out that her other two children are dead." Drakken sniffed, biting his lip and trying to stay in character.
"Yes." Shanna agreed, "But we found out all the babies were in such a bad condition when we did the tests, and we're lucky we could save one. If we didn't operate all of them and the mother would have died."
Drakken had a hard time agreeing to this. He really felt that if the doctors had been more determined to save all three of the babies, they could have done so. Though, he didn't mention this to Shanna.
"Of course." Was all he said. "I must go now. Wish the patient good luck on a speedy recovery."
"Alright, Goodbye!"
Drakken left the room as fast as he could. What he had been through in the past few hours was more than he had ever been through in his life. He was proud of himself for staying in character as a doctor and successfully tricking the doctors into thinking he was Doctor Dronic. Deep down though, he felt upset and still worried for Shego. He had to see her as soon as she woke up. Drakken hoped that Shego wouldn't be too depressed about losing two of her babies. Although right now he felt depressed and angered about it, and the children weren't even his. Drakken couldn't even describe the feelings he was feeling right now, and the sad thing was, the worst wasn't over yet...
