Jake's POV
As we were packing to go home, Princess keeps taking our stuff out of our suitcase.
"No! Stay Princess stay, Disneyland." Princess said to me.
"Princess, we have to go home, because we got to go back to work at the dance studio." I said to her as I took my shirt and placed it back in the suitcase.
"Okay crew, ready to go home?" I asked them.
"Yeah!" Both Izzy and Cubby said to me as we walked out the door, and saw everyone leaving the hotel.
As we made it to the entrance, Cubby handed me my clipboard with everyone's names.
""Austin, Ally, Trish, Dez?" i called them.
"here!" the treo said to me.
"Izzy, Cubby Princess Bart Lisa Jenny?" i asked them.
"Here!" they all said accept princess.
"Princess? Princess?" i called her name two times, but no answer.
"Has anyone seen Princess?" i asked them.
" Jake, princess is going to the pool." lisa said to me.
"What? oh no, she's not." i said to her as my crew and i went to get her.
Izzy's pov
as i was running, i didn't even notice that i was running on my knee as i was more worried about princess.
"princess no, you have a bad leg, you can't go on the pool with a bad leg silly goose." jake said to her while i immediately sat down on the chair as I was crying really hard since I was in a lot of pain now.
Jake's POV
As I got Princess, Cubby and I heard crying coming from Izzy. So, we rushed over to her.
"Izzy what's wrong?" I asked her.
" My knee, hurts really badly." Izzy said to me.
"Izzy, you weren't supposed to walk on it. Now, we don't even know if you injured it even more or not." I said to her.
"Well, I was worried about Princess Jake." Izzy said to me.
" Well, I am very disappointed in you Izzy." I said to her.
" I am sorry Jake." Izzy said to me she was trying to get up, but immediately sat back down in the chair.
"Izzy, you can't stand can you?" U asked her as she shook her head no.
"Jake maybe we should take her to the emergency room. I mean if she did damaged her knee even more, then she might need surgery on it buddy. I'm sorry, but it had to come to this." Cubby said to me as I picked up Izzy in my arms.
"Okay, let's take her to the hospital." I said to him as Cubby was pushing Princess's wheelchair.
Cubby's POV
As we arrived at the emergency room, Jake placed Izzy on the bed, as Dr. Lynch came to us.
"Let me guess Izzy was running her knee?" Dr. Lynch asked us.
"Yeah who'd you know?" I asked him.
"Cubby, I'm a doctor, I know things." Dr. Lynch said to me.
"You know, I always forgot that you're a doctor." I said to him.
"Well, let's get her into x-ray and see what we are dealing with." Dr. Lynch said to us.
Izzy's POV
As Dr. Lynch wheeled me into the x-ray room, he helped me onto the bed as I laid flat on my back as the machine started to pull me in.
"Okay Ms. Green, breathe in and then breath out." Dr. Lynch said to me as I did as I was told.
As I was done, my knee started to hurt again. Like really hurt.
"Dr. Lynch, my knee is hurting me really bad." I said to him.
"Ms green, take it easy, okay just take it easy." Dr. Lynch said to me.
"I know, but it hurts so bad." I said to him as I started to cry.
"Izzy, is everything okay?" Dr. Lynch asked me as I was still crying in pain.
Dr. Lynch's POV
As I just took Izzy's knee X-ray I placed her in a gurney, with an ice pack in her knee.
"Izzy, don't worry we're going to take good care of you." I said to her as she nodded her head.
Jake's POV
As Izzy came back, she was crying.
",Your knee hurts that bad?" I asked her.
"YES!" Izzy said to me.
" Okay, calm down, Izzy, Dr. Lynch is her to help you get better. So you can get to dance again." I said to her.
" Yeah, about that Mr. Hutchinson, if the surgery goes well, she will be able to dance again. But if the surgery doesn't go well, she won't be able to dance ever again." Dr. Lynch said to me.
" WHAT?" I asked him in shocked.
" But, but Dr. Lynch she's my dance partner for the dance competition, and finally." I said to him.
"I'm sorry, Jake." Dr. Lynch said to me.
"Jake, I'm scared." Izzy said to me.
"Don't worry Izzy, they're going to make your knee better." I said to her.
" I know, vote what I can't dance again if the surgery doesn't go well?" Izzy asked me.
"Izzy, it's going to go great I'm sure of it." I said to her.
"Okay, I have Izzy's knee X-ray." Dr. Lynch said to us as he placed the x-rays in a white board with the light on it.
Dr. Lynch's POV
As I was removing Izzy's bandage off Izzy's knee, we were shocked to see that it was now really bruised and damaged.
"Oh my God, it looks like a big bruised meatball." Cubby said to us as we looked at him.
"Okay, so your surgery will be tomorrow morning oh, that means you're going to have to stay overnight Izzy." Dr. Lynch said to her.
"No!" Izzy said to him.
Jake's POV
As I placed Princess on Izzy's bed, she started to hug her.
As Princess was hugging Izzy, we hugged her as well, so she doesn't feel nervous about her knee surgery tomorrow.
"Izzy, it's okay, we'll be eating for you after your surgery tomorrow.
"But if we're not there, that would mean young lad would be paralyzed and you won't be able to walk or run or dance anymore." Cubby said to her as I slapped him on the back of his head.
"Ouch Jake!" Cubby said to me as I looked back at Izzy.
"We will be waiting for you, I'll be waiting for you. You know why because you're the most bravest most encouraging girl I have ever met. I also want your knee to get better oh, so we can dance." I said to her.
"And as for you Cubby, don't you say negative things about Izzy's knee, that is so not nice." I said to him.
"Okay I'm sorry. I'm also thinking that they might have to cut your knee." Cubby said to her.
"Cubby!" Rude, really rude!" I said to him.
"Go sit on the chair, right now." I said to him as he sat on the chair.
"I am so sorry about him, I don't know what's going on in that little brain of his.
" Trust me, I do not want to know Jake." Izzy said to me.
As Dr. Lynch came back Izzy's hospital gown, I immediately helped her take her clothes off, and put on her hospital gown on her as well.
"Aww, you look cute with a pink hospital gown Izzy!" I said to her as she blushed.
After Izzy got her hospital gown on, Dr. Lynch took Izzy to room 853 as we followed.
"Okay, Ms. Green, the bathroom is right here, and the TV is up there, if you need anything, just use this pretty bright shinny red button." Dr. Lynch said to her as he left.
" Wait Dr Lynch what time is my surgery tomorrow?" Izzy asked him.
"10:00, in the morning." Dr. Lynch said to her.
Izzy's POV
As I started to cry and my leg was in a pillow, I was now getting really nervous.
"Izzy, you okay?" Jake asked me while putting his hand on mine.
"Jake, I'm really nervous. Like really really nervous. What if I'm never able to dance again?" I asked him.
" Izzy, you're going to do okay I promise you will be able to dance again." Jake said to me.
" Yeah but what if I'm not okay after the surgery, what if I'm not able to walk again and you find another girl, probably date that other girl and marry her and have kids?" I asked him.
" Izzy, look at me. Look into my green emerald eyes, I'm not going to date another girl oh, I'm not going to marry the other girl I'm not going to have kids with that other girl. Because the only girl I want to marry, is you. Izzy, you have been in my life since day one, and I never knew how everyday I wake up to see a beautiful lady such like yourself. And you wished for Princess to be real. I can never thank you which I just did anyway, your the best thing that ever happened to me I love you Isabella Rose green, and I will pray for you during a surgery tomorrow morning." Jake said to me.
"Jake, that was beautiful." I said to him as I hugged him.
"Thanks Izzy!" Jake said to me.
"okay Jake, are you done with that beautiful speech of yours? Because I'm taking a nap." Cubby asked him.
"Yes Cubby I'm done, you may take a nap." Jake said to him as Cubby fell asleep.
Jake's POV
As Izzy was staring into space, she was thinking about how her surgery is going to go, as I placed Princess on her lap as she looks at her in confusion.
"Daddy, mommy dead?" Princess asked me.
"No sweetie. I hope not oh, she's just staring up at the ceiling I'm thinking about how her searching is going to go bad or horrible or good. It depends on how Mommy's knee surgery is going to go tomorrow and I hope it's going to be successful." I said to her as Princess hugged Izzy.
"Good luck Mommy!" Princess said to her.
"Yes, good luck tomorrow Izzy, we'll be waiting." I said to her as I kissed her forehead.
As Princess was still sitting on Izzy's lap, she turned turned to me and asked this.
"About mommy's knee?" Princess asked me.
"Well, your mother, got hurt dancing." I said to her.
"Okay, daddy." Princess said to me.
"Daddy what made mommy land in the hospital?" Princess asked me.
"Well, your mommy was running on her knee, which apparently is he wasn't supposed to but she did it anyway that's why she's in the hospital.' I said to my daughter.
"Mommy get better soon?" Princess asked me.
"Yes, mommy, will get better soon." I said to her.
"Yay!" princess said with excitement.
"I just hope she gets better before, the Regionals." I said to myself as I was looking down.
"Daddy okay?" Princess asked me.
"Yes sweetie, Daddy's just thinking." I said to her.
"Why mommy's knee blue and purple Daddy?" Princess asked me.
"Because she banged it on the ledge of the Rollercoaster." I said to her.
As Princess and I were enjoying our daughter daddy moment, we heard Izzy screaming witch woke up Cubby.
"Izzy are you okay?" I asked her.
"Jake, get princess off me right now please." Izzy said to me as I got her off.
" Is it your knee that's hurting you again?" I asked her.
" No Jake, it's my brain that's hurting me, YES IT'S MY KNEE THAT'S HURTING ME. WHAT AM I STUPID?" Izzy asked me.
" No, you are smart girl." Cubby said to her.
"Thank you cubby but I don't believe I was talking to you. Is your named Jake? No I didn't think so." Izzy said to him.
"Dang, my knee hurts so bad right now." Izzy said to herself.
"You should have never ran on it." Cubby said to her.
"I was worried, about Princess." Izzy said to him.
"What's more important to worry about Izzy, princess or your safety?" Cubby asked her.
"Cubby please not now." I said to him.
"No hold on just a second Jake, I want Izzy to answer my question." Cubby said to me.
" Apparently, both things are important." Izzy said to him.
"Wrong, your safety is important Izzy." Cubby said to her.
" Did you see princess walking on her broken leg?" Cubby asked her.
"No, but..." Izzy said to him.
" Exactly, you need to learn to not walk on your knee, but it's too late for that you ruined your knee we didn't do it you did it. If you haven't danced around the living room back in the hotel oh, you would have been fine." Cubby said to her.
"Now, look at you you're broken. You injured your knee even more. And what's worse, is that Jake will not be able to dance with you because you have a broken knee." Cubby said to her.
" She will be able to dance with me, the doctor did say that if her surgery goes well, she'll be able to dance again." I said to him.
" But dr. Lynch also said that if her surgery doesn't go well, she won't ever be able to dance again." Cubby said to me.
"I'm sorry I have to say this Izzy, but you not your Troupe A down." Cubby said to her.
"Okay, Cubby I think you said enough." I said to him.
Izzy's POV
After what I head what Cubby said to me, I started to cry. But it's not what Cubby said to me, it's also because of my knee.
"J, Jake I think Cubby really hurt my feelings, and my knee really hurts so much." I said to him.
"Izzy, it's okay, and don't listen to Cubby, he doesn't know what he's talking about. Shhhh shhhh it's okay calm down my Izzy." Jake said to me as he was rubbing my shoulder.
" Cubby's right I did let the team down, I'll never be able to dance with you again." I said to him.
" No no no Izzy no don't say that. Of course you'll be able to dance with me again. it will just take longer for your knee to heal after the surgery tomorrow." Jake said to me.
"Izzy, I am sorry for saying those things to you." Cubby said to me.
"You really hurt my feelings. But time, Cubby." I said to him.
"I know, and I'm sorry." Cubby said to me.
"Okay, I expect your apology Cubby. But if you say those things to me again, your going to wake up very confused in Cuba." I said to him.
"Yes, ma'am." Cubby said to me with fear in his body.
As I was now better, Princess started to touch my bad knee, as I started to scream as Jake immediately took her into his arms.
"Princess that's enough touching mommy's knee it hurts her really bad, so don't do it again." Jake said to her.
"Okay Daddy, sorry Mommy." Princess said to me as I was holding me knee.
"It's...okay...sweetie." I said to her.
"It really hurts that bad?" Cubby asked me.
"Yes, yes it does!" I said to him.
"I'll go ask the doctor if he can give you some pain medication." Jake said to me as he took Princess with him.
Jake's POV
As I went to the front desk, Dr. Lynch was in there.
"Dr. Lynch, is there a way you can give Izzy some pain medication for her knee? it's really bothering her." I asked him.
" Sure Jake, I'll be there in a minute." Dr. Lynch said to me as I went back to the room.
"Is dr. Lynch coming?" Izzy asked me.
"yes, you said that he'll be here to give you pain medication for your knee in 1 minute." I said to her.
"Oh the pain is killing me Jake." Izzy said to me.
"I know I know I know, take it easy, take it easy it's okay it's okay it's alright Jake's here." I said to her.
As Dr. Lunch came back with the pain medication, he first said this.
"Okay Izzy, before I give you the pain medication, let me just check your...? Oh MY God..." Dr. Lynch said to her
"Dr. Lynch what's going on? Is Izzy all right?" I asked him.
"Jake she's fine come down oh, it's just that her knee got more worse. But the only thing I can do right now, is give her the pain medication. I can't bring her to the operating room untill tomorrow I'm sorry." Dr. Lynch said to me as he gave Izzy her pain medication and some water.
" That should help with the pain, until tomorrow Izzy." Dr. Lynch said to her.
" Thank you." Izzy said to him.
"You're welcome!" Dr. Lynch said to her as he went back to his deck.
"Izzy, how are yoy feeling?" I asked her.
"A little bit better, but my knee still hurts." Izzy said to me.
" I know it does, but hopefully the pain medication will help with that." I said to her.
As I saw a lamp on the other side of Izzy's hospital bed, I went over to it, and switch it on witch made space lights surroundings her.
"Pretty!" Princess said as she was cought in it.
As I got some nail polish, I sat back down on the chair, I handed Cubby a pink nail polish as I have the same thing and we started to paint her toenails pink. As we were doing that she giggles a little bit witch means she was enjoying it as I smiled at her.
"Izzy, how about after your knee surgery tomorrow, I'll buy you something." I suggested to her.
"Okay, Jakey!" Izzy said to me.
"Jake, will I be able to dance again?" Izzy asked me.
"Of course you will. Izzy, you'll be able to dance again I promise. You're worried about not dancing again are you?" I asked her.
"A little bit." Izzy said to me.
"It's okay to be worried, I'm actually worried right now. About the Regionals, I just don't want to dance by myself." I said to her as I started to tear up a bit.
" Jake, it's going to be fine, I'm going to be fine." Izzy said to me.
"Hopefully I will be able to walk again, and dance, before the Regionals Jake." Izzy said to me.
"I just don't want to look like a fool, if you're not dancing with me." I said to her.
"It's going to be okay baby." Izzy said to me as she was squeezing my hand.
"If Izzy, doesn't dance in time for the Regionals, I'm going to have to dance with Amanda. and James and Riley, will have to do to do wet instead of me and Izzy." I said to myself.
"Izzy's going to be so upset." I said to myself.
"I'm sure we're going to be fine, what matters is that I hope we win and we will. And if Izzy and I don't do the duet due to her surgery, then that's fine as long as I'm with her." I said to myself.
"Jake is everything okay?" Izzy asked me.
"Huh?, Yeah everything's just fine don't need to worry about nothing Izzy." I said to her as I didn't want to tell her that I might have to dance with Amanda.
As we were done painting Izzy's toenails, we went to her fingernails. And let me tell you her fingernails, are so cute.
"Now what are you boys doing?" Izzy asked us.
"Pain in your fingernails. You got pretty fingernails, Izzy!" I said to her.
" Why thank you Jake, that is so sweet of you to say. and thank you boys for painting my toenails they are beautiful." Izzy said to us.
"Princess get painted next daddy?" Princess asked me.
" Oh princess, I'm sorry but you're way too young for nail polish. Maybe when you're older okay." I said to her.
"Okay, daddy!" Princess said to me.
"I'm glad that you understand for a two year old." I said to her.
As we were still painting her fingernails, we talked a little bit more.
"Jake?" Izzy called for me.
"Yes Izzy!" I said to her.
"Thank you. I'm not just saying that Jake, I mean it. Thank you for being here with me." Izzy said to me.
" No problem Iz. The most important thing is, that I want you to get better that's the important thing." I said to her.
" What am I chopped liver Izzy?" Cubby asked her.
"You're more like a coconut to me." Izzy said to him.
"I'll take it!" Cubby said to her as we all laughed.
As we were done painting Izzy's fingernails, we out the nail polish away, and uses our hands to fan her toenails and fingernails dry.
"Izzy, what's your experience like in the hospital?" Cubby asked me.
"Scary! really really, scary." Izzy said to him.
"And to be honest this hospital brings back memories so where I broke my leg last year." Izzy said to us.
" Oh yes that. How can I forget that. It was scary for you." Cubby said to her.
" It was. I don't know what I was going through. I was scared I didn't even know what was going to happen to my leg. Was I going to walk again? Was I going to dance again? I didn't know what was going to happen to me. but you guys pull me through it and eventually, I had help with physical therapy. And now, I am back in the hospital a year later, with an injured knee." Izzy said to us.
"Don't forget that you fractured, that knee as well." Cubby reminded her.
"Thank you for being the pain back, Cubby." Izzy said to him as she was holding her knee once again.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry, I did not mean to mention the fractured part Izzy." Cubby said to her.
"Jake, the pain is still killing me." Izzy said to me.
"Izzy, let's not think of that right now, let's think about something else better than the pain that you're having right now." I said to her.
"Get Dr. Lynch." Izzy said to me.
"But Izzy, Dr. Lynch already gave you the pain medication." I said to her.
"I don't care, get him." Izzy said to me as I went to get Dr. Lynch.
"Dr. Lynch your nedded again." I said to him as he follows me into Izzy's hospital room.
"What can I do for you Ms. green?" Dr. Lynch asked her.
"Give me another dose of pain medication please." Izzy said to him.
" Miss green, I understand you have pain, but if I give you too much dose of pain medication, it can lead to liver damage, stomach bleeding, and kidney disease." Dr. Lynch said to her.
"And I'm sure your family, does not want that to happen to you Ms. Green." Dr. Lynch said to her.
"No, we do not." I said to him.
"Good, now if you excuse me, I'm going back to my job." Dr. Lynch said to us as he left the room.
