Thank you for all the awesome reviews!
Disclaimers: Not mine :)
All Danny could see was the blood that stained the doctor's scrubs. He knew that it was Jamie's blood. It was the same blood that had stained the sink pink when he washed it off of his hands. The thought made his stomach churn. All he wanted to do was run away from the hospital. However he had to know if his brother was still alive or if….
"How is my son?" was all Frank could put together. He couldn't fathom the idea of losing another child. They were supposed to bury him, not the other way around. He knew that Erin should be here for what the doctor was telling them but he knew that she was on her way. His grip on his eldest son and daughter-in-law tightened knowing that he was holding them up as much as they were doing the same for him.
"You may want to sit down for this." The doctor started but was interrupted by Danny's tearful question.
"Is he dead? Is my baby brother dead?"
It was if the doctor was trying to figure out what to say. He didn't want to give the family false hope but at the same time he didn't want to shatter their world either. "No, Jamie is not dead. He did lose him a few times on the table due to his heart working overtime and the trauma of the wound. The knife nicked his liver and we had to move a piece of that. His spleen was punctured and had to be removed. We also found a few internal bleeds that needed to be clasped off. We are in the middle of giving Jamie a blood transfusion. He is still under sedation and will be for quite some time in order to allow his body to heal itself. Do you have any questions?"
"When can we see him?" Linda asks quietly, knowing that she was the only one that could speak at the moment. She could see the tears forming Frank's eyes and the tears streaming down her husband cheeks and she knew there was nothing she could do to stop them, except for let them know that she is there for the family.
"The staff is making him comfortable right now, but I can lead two of you up there right now. Until he is stable enough we are only allowing two people at a time," The doctor finished.
"I'll stay and wait for Erin. Linda, take care of my boys for me," Frank volunteered knowing there would be objections. But leaving no place for those objections.
As they left the ER floor, Linda could feel the grip on her hand tighten the closer they got to Jamie's room. She had no clue what they would be encountering. Admitting that she was scared was one thing, however there was no way she could show it. As they stand in front of the open door leading to her brother-in-law's room she is shocked to see the shape he was in.
"My god," was all Linda could say. She quietly led her husband into the room almost dragging him in. As they both take up a side of Jamie's bed, she quietly whispers in her brother-in-law's ear, "you have to make it through this Jamie. I don't know how your brother would react if you don't."
And with that she let the tears flow and held her husband tight.
