With Kit in Limbo
Kit wasn't at home she was on the beach just sitting there watching the waves roll back and forth on the surf line. She just sat there and stared when she felt another presence next to her.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" She asked the newcomer.
"I know now why you decided to move back here and not stay in California, good choice." They told her.
"It's not the only reason…" Kit told them silently.
"Do you want to go for a walk?" They asked her.
"That sounds good." The two got up and walked along the waters edge.
"I never thought it would end like this, but they are going to be fine." Kit said out loud.
"Are you sure about that? Because I said the same thing about you and mom and dad." She was told.
"That was different, you were their daughter, not a lot of people come back from that." Kit told her.
"You did just fine, you finished Med School now you help the police and find murderer's and rapists. 'She looked at Kit who still didn't look convinced' I have something to show you." She told her.
With that the scenery changed she was no longer on a beach but at Timo's and she saw that it was her and Steve's first date, this was also the day that she got that phone call that changed her family forever.
"Jamey why did you bring me back here?" She asked her.
"Because Kitana, you need a reminder of what's important." She told her.
Dinner
"So there I was sitting on my board just waiting for the wave and nothing, nothing happened the skies however just opened up and poured down on me. I was super bummed and that is why I never pay attention to the weather man again." Steve said.
Kit laughed and was about to say something when her phone rang.
"Steve I'm sorry, it's my mom do you mind?" She asked him and he nodded is okay.
"Hey Ma, wait mom calm down, WHAT? Okay I am on my way." She hung up and grabbed her purse.
"I'm sorry Steve, I need to go can you take me to my car back at the house?" She asked him.
"Is everything alright?" He asked her concerned.
"No, my little sister was in a car accident and she is at Hawaiian General." She said standing.
"I will take you, I was able to put lights on the truck so I can get you there quicker." He told her as he laid money on the table and they headed to the truck.
At the Hospital
Kit and Steve ran into the ER and there she saw her mother who was waiting for her.
"Mom, any news yet?" She said running over to her.
"No they wheeled her back into surgery about 20 minutes ago, they wont tell me anything." She told her.
"Where's dad?" She asked.
"He's with the police down the hall." She told her and then she finally noticed Steve.
"Oh hello." She said wiping her face.
"Mom this is Steve, Steve my mother Susan, I am going to go back there and see if they have any news." She told them.
"I will stay with your mom go." He told her.
She mouthed a silent thank you to him and headed through the doors, that would lead to the OR. She saw a familiar face and she headed towards her.
"Janet, my sister was just taken back to the OR she was in a car accident." Kit told her hoping she was the one that would have an answer.
"I'm sorry Kitana, I don't have know anything Dr. Tucker is working on her now I hate to do this to you but you know the drill." She told her sadness in her eyes.
Kit understood and she just nodded as she headed to the waiting room, she sat next to her parents and Steve and told them that it was still too soon to say anything.
Steve was able to talk to the police and they found out it was a drunk driver and her car had flipped onto its side and slid into a retainer wall on the Kalui Highway. No one said a word Steve just held her hand while she gave comfort to her parents and praying that this was just a horrible nightmare.
"I don't know why you are making me go through this again, I remember every detail of this event I don't want to re live it again." Kit told her sister as she watched her parents go through the emotions of the possibility of losing their daughter.
"Just watch, and you will see what I am talking about." She told Kit.
After what seemed like a lifetime, Dr. Tucker came through the doors, Kit noticed him first and jumped up which startled both her parents and Steve.
"Dr. T, how is she?" Kit asked him.
He slowly sat down in front of them, and Kit already knew what his response was going to be just by the look in his eyes, it's a look that med school can't teach you.
"When we got her back there and was able to assess the full extent of her injuries she was just losing too much blood, there was a splintered rib that punctured her left lung and then was lodged in her liver. We did everything we could to control her bleeding but her body just couldn't handle it anymore." He told them.
Her parents fell into each others arms and hugged one another Kit and Steve thanked the Dr. She let her parents go back first to spend a few moments with her sister, and as soon as they left Steve wrapped his arms around her.
Kit just closed her eyes and let the tears come out, Steve just held her and rubbed her back and soothed her hair. It wasn't long ago that he was in a similar situation in regards to his father.
"This is what you wanted to show me, Steve coddling me like a baby." She asked her sister with slight irritation.
"Oh how I want to smack the sense back into you, I can't believe you solve murders." Jamey told her as she put her head in her hands.
"Listen, the importance is family and now you have one of your own." She told her.
The scenery changed and they were in Kits hospital room, she saw Steve talking to her and he was holding the baby. She was silent as she watched and heard every word he said.
"What I am trying to say is that it's not your time you still need to stick around a little longer." She told her big sister.
Kit looked back at her baby sister, tears brimming the edges of her eyes.
"I miss you terribly, I have wanted nothing more than to pick up the phone and call you and I know I can't but I don't want you to go." She told her.
"I will always be right here, but you have to go home now, they need you now." She told her.
With a touch to her shoulder Jamey was gone.
