Murdoc had stopped crying (for the moment) and went outside to have a smoke. Russel went over to the payphone; since they both of them didn't bring their cell phones with them; to give 2-D and Noodle the low down, of what had happened. "Yo D, something happened today." 2-D was in the kitchen with Noodle making popcorn for the comedy zombie flick they had rented from the store. It was 2-D's favorite comedy "Shawn of the Dead" (figures). Noodle wanted to hear the story too so she put the speaker phone on. Russel's voice could be heard throughout the room. "D, Noodle it's pretty bad" said a depressed Russ. "Russ….is that you?…. Where are you….I can't see ya mate." replied a confused 2-D. "D, I'm at the hospital" said Russel. "No your not, ya can't be I can hear ya in the room…..wait….Oh MY GOD……you were at the hospital and got killed and now you a spirit coming back to haunt meh! AHHHHH!!!!!" 2-D cried running away to hide under his bed.
Noodle shook her head. "What is wrong Russel-san, did Murdoc-san get himself arrested again. You would think he would learn from the last time, that he can't have sex out in the middle of the street, as sick as he is." Replied a disgusted Noodle. "No baby girl it's not Murdoc, its Emily. She is really sick. We had to send her to the emergency room." Replied a worried Russ. "Oh NO, Russel-san, what happened! Is she okay? What hospital? How is Murdoc-san? Me and 2-D will be there real soon!" Noodle cried. "Relax, Noods, we're at the Out Lady of Angels Hospital in South Essex ( I made that up, I don't know anything about England's towns, or hospitals). See ya soon" They both hung up at he same time.
Two nurses and a doctor came down the hall and into the waiting room. Russ approached them. "We need to speak with Mr. Niccals." Replied the very nice doctor. "Oh, Murdoc is outside, I'll go retrieve him" Russ then power walked outside. Murdoc leaned on a cold metal railing, with a cig hanging from his lips. It was cold outside, and he shivered from the chilly wind, being in shock, with no jacket. The dry tears seemed to freeze on his cheeks. His cheeks were all red and swollen from all the crying. His eyes were all puffy, and red also. This made it hard to see in from of him. Russ then burst outside. He was huffing and puffing, that was a workout and a half for him. "Muds…..the…(gasps for air)…he doctor is here." Russ struggled to say as he grasped the railing. Murdoc didn't say a word, just flicked his cig out to the street, and walked inside, was Russ right behind him, trying to catch his breath. Back inside, the nurses and the doctor were sitting in the waiting room, saw Murdoc enter they stood, and sympathetically shook his hand. "Mr. Niccals we know what is wrong with Emily." The nice doctor said. They both sat down on the couch, while Russel remained standing. "Please, whets wrong with my lil'' girl" Murdoc whispered. "Mr. Niccals what happened could not have been prevented." The doctor told the helpless father. "Please stop beating round the bush doc, what happened to my child today!" Murdoc yelled. "Mr. Niccals, Emily had a seizure in the middle of the night last night." The doctor said bluntly. "This caused the slow movement, lack of energy, no response, and the fever." Murdoc was just in shock, his mouth hung open, speechless. Russ gasped and almost fell into the wall. "A Seizure?..." Murdoc whispered to himself. "Yes, it is rare but it does happen. The condition is called infantile epilepsy." The doctor paused for a moment then said "There is a possibility that may stop when she get older, that is usually the case with infantile epilepsy." Murdoc gulpled as a tear rolled down his swollen cheek and whispered. "How do we beat this?" The doctor nodded and replied "There are medications that can control the seizures. There are some side effects, but I think that it is crucial that she take them." Murdoc began to shake. "What kind of side effects are we talking about Doc?" Russel butted in. "Extreme fatigue, and sleepiness, and weight gain, nothing to bad. From what I predict, the condition should clear up by the time she is about two years of age." The doctor replied with hope in his voice. He then leaned in to get Murdoc to look at him. He was staring at the floor, in total shock. "Mr. Niccals, I will help you all get through this. When I say, that Emily Rose is going o be fine, I bet my life on it." The doctor whispered. "Murdoc then looked right into his eyes. "For her sake ya better be right." Replied a stern Murdoc. "I wan to see her." Murdoc mentioned. "Of coarse, please take Mr. Niccals to his baby." Murdoc and Russel then followed the nurse to the NICU (neo natal Intensive Care Unit).
I know, I know, there is a lot of drama, but, hey, I wanted to try something different. I hope that you all are still enjoying it, I promise, there will be less drama on the way
