CHAPTER 26

Dr. Chen: Okay, I know this is a sensitive issue, but I'm just going to come right out and say it. Emma has been unconscious for over a month. Her vitals are all stable and she seems to still have brain function...the reason for Mrs. Jack's presence here, is because she's been through what we are about to suggest and thought she could provide you with some guidance.

Patrick realizes that he is talking about when Michael was shot and moving him to a special facility in NYC.

Patrick: Wait a minute...I was here when Carly's son was in a coma for a year. I am not and will not move my daughter to some facility in new york. I want to give her more time...he says trying to keep his emotions in check, but finding it very hard.

Carly: If I may, Dr...

Dr. Chen: Please...go ahead Mrs. Jacks.

Carly: Patrick, she looks right at his eyes and holds his hand....she also looks at Sabrina directly. Believe me...I know how hard this is...she says welling up with tears...making the decision to move Michael was one of the hardest if not the hardest things I've ever had to do in my life...but I did it. And it worked; he came back to me...I believe with all my heart that Emma will get the same wonderful and attentive care my son did.

Sabrina: Thank you all for your concern, really...I just think my husband and I need to think this over and not rush into it...

Dr. Chen: Alright, but I would advise you not to wait too long...there are not many spots available at this particular facility and the spots fill quickly so a decision as soon as possible would be best.

PA speak announcement...they all listen...

Code blue in room 204...repeat code blue room 204...

Elizabeth: Emma?

They all rush to Emma's room.

Patrick: Epiphany, whats happening...

Epiphany: Dr. Drake, Sabrina... Emma had a seizure and now isn't responding.

Sabrina: Oh my god! She clasps her mouth and hugs Patrick and buries her head in his chest as she can't bare to watch.

Patrick: Emma, baby...please...he tries to go closer to his daughter, but Epiphany pushes him back.

Epiphany: Charge to 200...

Nurse: Charged...Epiphany sparks her chest...nothing...

Epiphany: Charge to 500...come on baby girl...

Nurse: Charged...Again, Epiphany sparks her chest...at first nothing but before Epiphany can say charge again, they hear glorious sounds coming from the machines...her numbers were coming back...and Sabrina and Patrick sigh relief...

Sabrina: Oh my god...Patrick...look...

Patrick: Emma...honey...it's daddy...can you hear me? Her eyes are fluttering like she's trying to open them.

Emma: Daaaaaaddddy? She says barely audible, slowly opening her eyes.

Sabrina: Oh baby! She cries....thank god!

Patrick: Welcome back baby! He says trying not to cry...

Emma: Where am I?

Sabrina: You are at the hospital sweetheart...but you're going to be just fine now...she smiles kissing her forehead. You came back to us baby...We are so proud of you.

Patrick: So proud.

Felix checks Emma's vitals and everything seems to be back to normal.

: Well, I guess she didn't want to go to that facility either, he laughs...

Patrick: Smart kid...he laughs as well...She's going to be ok right doc?

: If her scans came back clear and she will be as good as new!

Sabrina: Thank goodness!

Dr. Chen: We just want to keep her for the rest of the week, and if all looks well we can send her home where she belongs! He smiles closing her chart...

Patrick: Thank you Doc...he shakes his colleagues hand.
