Chapter 2: The Surgery.
Danny and Sam were sitting in the waiting room when Maddie, Jazz, Edward, Alex, and Michael came in.
"Boys!" Sam cried as they rushed over to their mother.
"Mommy!" They cried, "How are you and the baby?" Alex asked.
"Fine sweetie."
"How about Jezzie?" Little Michael asked.
Sam didn't know how to answer this question. Alex was only 9 and Michael was 5.
"She's in surgery, she having tests done." Danny answered for her.
Jazz and Maddie gave Sam, Danny, Katie and Lily hugs. The twins then ran over to Uncle Edward. The twins adore him. He hugged them and then picked them up and spun them around. Katie and Lily screamed with delight.
"Danny, your father will be here shortly."
It had been about 2 years since Maddie and Jack divorced. There marriage was rocky for the past five years. They also knew about Danny's ghost powers. Jack blamed himself for it so much.
"Ok mom, thanks for getting the kids."
"No trouble sweetie." She said as she kissed his head.
The twins came over and hugged their mother's leg, and Katie Rose asked, "Jez?"
Sam burst once again into tears. Edward came over and picked up the two girls.
"Hey you two, want some ice cream?"
"Yay!" Lily clapped her hands together.
"You boys want to come?"
"Yeah!" The boys said together.
"I'll walk them over to the ice cream place next door."
"Thanks Edward."
"No problem."
Sam was now holding a wallet sized family portrait, her, Danny, Jezzie, and the rest of the children. Michael also had red hair but had brown eyes. Alex had jet-black hair and blue eyes, and the twins had dark brown hair and brown eyes.
"She will be okay." Danny said.
"What if she's not? Danny some drunk could take away our beautiful little girl. She could die because he was too selfish to think before he acted."
"Sam, Danny, Edward will do everything he can to make sure he serves his time."
Edward was a successful lawyer and Jazz had become a doctor. Danny was now a detective and Sam was a successful vet.
"Thanks Jazz, but let's just worry about Jezzie's surgery first." Sam said.
"Honey have you eaten at all?" Danny asked his wife.
"Not since lunch."
Jazz hugged her, "Sam you need to eat, come on you and me will go to the cafeteria."
"Well…all right." Sam said. She kissed Danny and walked out of the room with Jazz.
About 5 minutes later Jack walked into the room.
"Danny!" he said as he gave his son a hug. "How is my grandbaby?"
Danny, trying to hold back tears, "Well she has head trauma and bleeding in her brain and chest. She's still in surgery. She will be out in about two hours."
"Oh God my poor baby. Where are the twins and the boys?"
"They went with Edward to get ice cream, and Sam and Jazz are in the cafeteria." Maddie cut in.
"Oh I see."
Danny leaned his head back and fell asleep. It was a restless sleep though. He kept seeing Jezzie lying in that bed. He could hear her voice…daddy…daddy…Danny…Danny!"
Danny woke up with a fright. He found out it wasn't Jezzie talking to him it was Sam. He looked at the clock and realized t was two hours since he fell asleep.
"Danny, Jezzie is out of surgery. Dr. Reed wants to see us." Sam said.
Without a word Danny jumped up and raced out the door with Sam at his heels.
