Chapter 11 part 2
KARMA POV
I was in a state a panic. Who wouldn't react the way I did? When your child's life is hanging by a thread, of course I was going to panic.
A doctor carried me out telling me to relax. "Relax?! How can I? By daughter just flatlined in there!" I screamed out with tears streaming down my eyes. "Dr. Raudenfeld will do everything in her power to have her safe and sound." Then it hit me. Amy was in there with my munchkin. I just hope she can save her.
Next thing I know, the doctor is telling me that I m going to feel limp. I felt good. I felt relaxed.
Amy POV
"Charge to two hundred." "Clear!" Her heart beat started up again. I could feel myself relax but we still had to go through brain surgery. She had inner bleeding. Just enough to indicate that she could bleed out. "Prep her for surgery," I ordered the interns.
I went out to find Karma. I asked one of the interns where she was and they said she was in room 409. I walked in. They had sedated her. She was laying down and seemed out of it. "Hey you," I said walking in. "Amy," she said in a soft voice, "Is she going to be okay?" I put my hand on her knee, "Karma, I can't promise anything but we will try. I will try my hardest to have her safe and sound, you hear me?" She nodded and was almost falling asleep. I held her hand. "Amy, don't let me lose her. Please," and she slowly closed her eyes.
Before starting surgery i stared down at the auburn hair girl who was laying on the operation table. She looked so peaceful. I leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Don't you dare leave us," I whispered into her ear. Hoping she could hear me.
During the middle of surgery the heart monitor stopped reading her heartbeat. She had flatlined again. "We are losing her!" an intern yelled out. Dr. Miller charged the paddles. "Clear!" Nothing the first jolt. Everything was moving in slow motion. I leaned down, "you fight now. You fight with all your might Rachel and you come back to us. Don't you dare leave us. We need you," I said with clenched teeth and tears threatening to fall. I took the paddles from Dr. Miller. "Charge to two hundred!" I yelled out. "Clear!"
She came back to us.
Her heartbeat was the most beautiful thing in that moment.
It was a long surgery. It took around seven hours but we were successful with minor complications. We rolled Rachel out to recovery. She was a trooper.
I went to find Karma. They had to sedate her twice. I walked into her room and she looked up at me and she had tears running down. I took a seat next to her and grabbed her hand. "Do you have good or bad news," she said in a soft voice. I gave her a smile. "It's good news," I said while rubbing the back of her hand. She started crying again but not out of sadness but out of happiness. I got up and leaned down to give her a kiss on the forehead. She snaked her arms around me giving me a tight embrace. "She's going to be fine. She's a fighter," I said smiling down at her. "Thank you, Amy, thank you so much," she said against my chest.
I may have put my feelings aside but I don't know what I would of done if we lost Rachel. These girls mean so much to me.
KARMA POV
I was able to bring Rachel home after a couple of days in the hospital. Amy said that she would still have to be monitor and she would stop by periodically. Rachel was doing great and I couldn't be happier that she was still with me. I would check on her and talk to her like I normally did. Today was different though. I walked into her room. She looked up at me and gave me a smile. "Hi mommy," she said looking back at her coloring book. "Hey, how are you feeling, baby?" "I'm feeling really good." "That's good sweetie. I'm glad you didn't leave me," I said holding her hand. "I'm glad too mommy. I'm happy that Amy told me where to go." I was confused by this statement. "What do you mean by 'Amy told you where to go'?" I said putting air quotes. Rachel gave me a shy smile and took a deep breath. "Well I was lost in a dark room. There was a small light and it was getting bigger but I could hear Amy telling me to come back from the other side of the room. So I ran to her voice since it was familiar." My eyes started to water. "Why didn't you walk towards the light?" "Because Amy told me she needed me." And with that, I told Rachel I would be right back. I ran to my room. I shut the door and started to cry and really think about this whole thing with Amy. I didn't know why I was crying. Probably joy, confusion or just simply because Amy was the one to bring my baby back. Did I meet her for a reason? My parents always believed in this stuff. I always shrugged it off. Maybe they were right about this spiritual world.
Amy stopped by the house everyday to check up on Rachel. She was like a guardian angel watching carefully over Rachel. I was still crying but quickly pulled myself together when I heard the doorbell ring. I ran downstairs and saw the beautiful blond stand outside. I almost tackled her and peppered her with kisses and saying thank you's between every kiss. She giggled and we didn't need to say anything. She knew why I was thanking her. She wrapped her hands around my waist and gave me a proper greeting kiss. She quickly checked on Rachel whom fell asleep with her coloring book and markers in her hand. We both did a little chuckle but hushed quickly so we wouldn't wake the sleeping girl. Amy checked her heartbeat and temperature. She didn't say much because she had to leave to make her rounds at the hospital but told me she would be back as soon as she could.
About two hours later I was upstairs when I heard Amy yell out she was here. "Upstairs!" I yelled back. I was in front of my dresser half naked trying to find pajamas for tonight. I don't have anything in specific. Just shorts and a loose t-shirt. I found what I was looking for and shivered when I felt cold hands wrap around my waist. "Jesus! Your hands are cold!" She quickly removed them and I immediately regret saying that. I turn around with a frown on my face and she's half smiling looking down at her hands. "First off, I'm not Jesus. Second, I have doctors hands. Having cold hands is a given," she said in a cocky tone. "Might as well be Jesus cause these hands saved my daughter," I said wrapping my hands around her neck. She wrapped her hands around my waist again and this time I didn't mind the cold. I loved it. She's slowly started to lean in but I leaned back to look at her with her eyes closed. She wrinkles her forehead and opens one eye. "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "Then why aren't you kissing me? Don't be a tease, Karma." I laughed at this because we both been teasing each other since we met. I stopped laughing and leaned in. Our lips touched and there's that feeling again. There's a parade of light behind my eyelids. She tightens her grip around my waist and I do the same to her neck bringing us closer. I wanted to be closer. We both pull away to catch some air and have our gazes locked on each other. "You're the best kisser ever," she whispered against my lips while leaning her forehead on me. "Now let me go check on Rachel for the last time tonight," she said breaking our embrace. God, I love it how she cares but I have needs too. I guess they will have to wait.
AMY POV
"Hey, Rachel how's my favorite little person?" I said walking into Rachel's room to find her awake and watching a Disney princess movie. "Hi Amy!" She yelled out, "I'm doing way better!" "That's a good sign. Have you been taking your pills?" "Yeah…my mom makes me take them every morning.." She said in a sad tone. "Well, if you want to keep up with the other kids, you should do as your mommy tells you. She knows best." I said smiling at Karma. "I guess," Rachel said half smiling. "Good," I said smiling at her. "Let us know if you need anything," karma said as we walked out the room.
"Are you staying over tonight?" Karma asked. I knew I was staying over but I put my pointer finger on my chin like I was thinking about it. "Hmmm, let me think. Do I want to sleep over?" I said and she slightly punched my arm. "You know you want to. Just say yes," she said playing along. "Fine, if you insist," I said walking towards her bedroom but as soon as I thought I was out of reach, I felt her grab my wrist and pull me into an embrace. I almost got whiplash at the unexpected gesture. Her arms were around my neck and I immediately held onto her waist. "You don't have to stay over," she said against my lips. "Oh I want to," I said kissing her lightly.
We fumbled our way to her room. Our lips trying not to lose contact. She closes the door behind her and I push her onto the door. She gasp a little but smiles into our kiss. I slow down a little and deepen the kisses. Soon our tongues are fighting for dominance and it doesn't look like no one is giving up. I reach down to her bare thighs and pull her up off the floor. She wraps her legs around my hips. She moans at the slight pressure that my body is causing on her center. It was the best sound my ears ever heard. Her hands are tangled in my hair and my hands have moved up to grab her butt cheeks. I can't take it anymore.
I walk us over to the bed and lay her down gently. We lock eyes and I can see the adoration in her eyes but also a little bit of worrisome. "What's wrong," I whispered. She stayed quiet. "Is this not okay?" I asked a bit confused. "No Amy, this is perfect. I just.." She trailed off. "You can tell me anything," I said smiling down at her. Caressing her cheek. She leaned into my touch. She took in a deep breath and spoke. "This is my first time..with a girl." "I can wait till you're ready," I said getting off her but she didn't let me. She quickly held me on top of her. "No, I want you. I just don't know what I'm doing.." She said a bit embarrassed. Her gaze left mine. "Hey," I said making her look at me, "I will be as gentle as possible. I promise, it'll be perfect," I said leaning down to capture our lips together. She smiled and whispered, "Okay."
