Chapter Twelve
Treatment
It was now about eight months later and Elizabeth was almost done with chemo. She was going to have a life-threatening surgery in one day. Chemo had killed most of the cancerous cells, but the tumor was still there. Doctors were going to perform a four hour surgery on Elizabeth to get rid of the tumor. They had told Peter and Emma that there's a 50/50 chance she might die during surgery.
Emma paced the waiting room outside of the OR. They were in there-operating on her baby, her eleven month old baby. Peter got up and placed a caring arm over his girlfriend's shoulder. The two had been out of school for a week. They were staying at the hospital 24/7. Since Peter's mom was the principal of Degrassi she had decided that she'd let them have two weeks off, one week to spend with Elizabeth before the operation and one week afterwards, that is if she well, makes it.
"Come on babe, let's go sit down, it'll all be ok." Peter said reassuringly. Emma nodded sadly and went and sat down.
Four hours later the surgery was done. A nurse came out of the operating room.
"Are the parents of Elizabeth Nelson-Stone present?" She asked looking around the room.
"Yeah, we're here." Peter said standing up, squeezing Emma's hand.
"Your daughter is doing quite well, she's in the recovery room, you may come see her for a bit. Then she needs to rest." The nurse said.
Emma and Peter smiled happily at each other and embraced one another. They walked down to the recovery room. When the got there they saw Elizabeth lying an incubator half asleep, half awake. She had a big bandage wrapped around her chest, covering the scar that the doctors had made. They spent about ten minutes with their daughter until the nurse instructed them to leave. They would be able to see their daughter later, once she had rested.
Emma and Peter called their parents and friends to tell them the great news. They decided to go on a short walk after having some food at the hospital. They needed some fresh air.
"I'm so happy she made it." Emma said smiling.
"I know, it's truly a miracle." Peter said cheerfully.
"I don't know what I would've done if she hadn't made it." Emma stated looking up at Peter with tears in her eyes.
"I know, I love her too much." Peter replied. Emma nodded in agreement. The two made their way over to a bench where they sat down for a couple of minutes.
"Em, in the future, I'd love to marry you, have more children with you." Peter said looking into Emma's eyes.
"Me too, I'd love to start a family with you." Emma said kissing Peter.
