As the blood stained Blaine's sneakers, he stood there frozen in fear. He didn't know what to do. All of that medical training and he was at a loss for what to do. Jaime had sprinted away after pulling the trigger. Blaine knew that he wasn't a bad kid, just one who had a hard life and he was angry. Blaine understood that. All of his life, he had been angry. Why was he born gay? Why was he robbed of a real mother? Why was he given a father who couldn't love him for who he truly was? Blaine had been so angry in his life, but in this moment, he felt nothing but pure fear.
"Blaine!" He heard as Kurt came out of the on-call room he was in. "Oh god, I thought it was you." Kurt ran over and gently touched Blaine's face as he tried to shake him from his panic, but Blaine wouldn't react. "Blaine! Blaine!" Kurt yelled. Yet, Blaine still didn't do anything. Kurt, knowing that for now Blaine was not going to help, bent down and pressed both hands onto the wound on Blaine's father's chest. Eventually, Blaine did realize where he was and what was happening. He bent down and gently slapped his father's face.
"Dad? Dad, wake up." He said.
"Blaine, he's losing too much blood." Kurt said. "He needs surgery right now."
"But-but they're clearing the hospital. Jaime is still in the building. They won't let anyone back in." Blaine said.
"Then, we have to do it." Kurt said.
"We can't do it! We're interns." Blaine told him.
"Have you seen some gunshot wounds surgeries?" Kurt asked.
"A few, but I've never done one." Blaine said.
"Well, I've never even seen one." Kurt said. "If we're going to save him you need to do this." He couldn't do this. He wasn't ready for this, but this was his dad. What choice did he have? Suddenly, Blaine heard a voice that wasn't Kurt. He looked down and his dad's eyes were open.
"What happened?" he mumbled.
"You were shot, Dad." Blaine told him. "Hang in there."
"Surgery? who?" his father asked as he tried to stay conscious.
"Umm...me." Blaine told him.
"You can do...it." Blaine's father gasped out. It was hard for him to breathe. "Just numb me from the neck down and I'll walk you through it."
"That's too dangerous." Blaine told him.
"It's the only option." he replied. "Now, get a wheelchair and take me to the OR." Blaine looked to Kurt and nodded. He saw a wheelchair across the hallway and grabbed it. Then, he and Kurt lifted Blaine's father into the wheelchair. He gasped at the pain he felt when they moved him. When they got down to the OR, Kurt and Blaine lifted him onto the metal table.
"You have to inject the numbing agent into the first cervical vertebrae." Blaine's father said. Blaine nodded and did as his father said. After a few moments, Blaine pricked his father with a needle.
"Did you feel that?" Blaine asked.
"No." His father replied. They were ready to start. Blaine made an incision where the bullet had went in. "What do see?"
"A lot of bleeding and a tear in the left ventricle of the heart." Blaine told him.
"You'll need to control the bleeding and then stitch up the hole." Blaine's father told him. Blaine nodded. He took the cauterizer and burned the tissue that was bleeding. Then he began to do the stitch to fix the heart.
"Okay, I think I've got it." Blaine said.
"Sometime is wrong." His father gasped out. Suddenly the monitors began to go crazy and a long beep echoed over the monitor.
"Get the internal paddles." Blaine yelled to Kurt. Kurt grabbed them and put some gel on the paddled and handed them to Blaine. "Clear!" Blaine yelled before placing the paddles around his fathers heart. Still nothing happened. He charged them again and sent one last electrical impulse into his heart and normal rhythm appeared on the monitor. After taking the paddles away from his father's heart, he looked closer and found a slight tear on the other side and repaired it. His father was stable. He had done it.
"I'm finished." Blaine said. "Can you close?" he asked Kurt. Kurt nodded and he took Blaine's position at the operating table. Blaine went into the scrubs room and pulled off his gloves. Then he sank to the ground and pulled his knees into his chest and just sobbed. He couldn't believe he had actually done that. When Blaine had pulled himself together, he went out to the hallway and pulled a bed into the OR so they could transfer his father up to a room. Blaine went back into the OR and Kurt had just finished sewing up his father's chest. They moved him onto the bed and took him up to the intensive care unit.
After they moved Blaine's father, they heard that Jaime was caught and taken to the police station. Everyone was going to be okay. Blaine sat at his father's bedside until finally he woke up.
"You did it." he rasped out.
"Yeah I did. You had another tear but I fixed it." Blaine replied.
"You're a good surgeon." his father told him as he placed a hand onto Blaine's arm. "and a good person. You're the man I raised, except you're happy, because you're being who you truly are. I'm not completely fond of the idea of you being gay, but I do love you...Blainey. You're my son and a father loves his kids no matter what.
"I love you Dad." Blaine said, tears in his eyes before leaning in to his father's all those months of fighting, their relationship was finally headed down the right road and Blaine couldn't be more thrilled. It was nice to have his dad back. It was nice to have a family once again.
Just so everyone know, the next chapter will be the last of this story. I have an idea for a new story already but I may not post it right away. I want to treat this story like a proper book and really do background. I may wait until the end of the school year. I'm busy studying for final and SATS. I just need a break, but not for too long. I promise. The last chapter should be up sometime tonight or tomorrow.
