"Holly?" I said walking over to her.
"Mrs. Aikawa….im so sorry. I tried to get him here as fast as I could and…"
"Holly, you did great. Thank you."
"I told him to go home earlier but he didn't listen until it was about 2."
"Holly."
"I don't understand; his headaches have never been this bad before."
"He has still been having headaches?"
"Yea, didn't he tell you?"
"No, he never mentioned them."
"Yea, he'd have one at least every other day."
"Holly, can you do me a favor?"
"Anything."
"I need you to go and get Ethan and Cooper for me. Go to our house and grab a few clothes for them and take them to Long Island. Saeki will be there waiting for you. Once you get there have Saeki call me."
"Ok, I will do that." She said grabbing her purse.
"Holly, he will be fine."
She smiled and left.
I grabbed my phone and called Saeki and told him what happened.
"So, I know it is a lot to ask but…"
"It is no problem Anne. I will head over there now and…"
"Saeki, are you going to come take a bath?" asked a woman.
"If you're busy Saeki…"
"You guys are family, no matter what I am doing I will stop and help you."
"Thanks…and don't tell the boys, I want to tell them. I will be by and tell them as soon as I can."
"Ok, keep me updated."
"I will bye." I said hanging up.
I get back on the elevator and it hits me.
I start crying uncontrollably.
After I get back to the floor I go into Kuni's room and they are standing over him looking at his CT.
"So, from what I can see, this is his problem…right here. This mass."
"Wrong." I said walking in.
"Dr. Aikawa…"
"That mass, it has been there for at least…I would say 35 years. They found it when he was a kid. Hasn't grown or anything since then." I said walking into the room.
"Ok, well what do you think is causing his coma?" asked Dr. Lawson.
"This right here." I said pointing to a dark spot, "If you had been looking at this closer, you would see he has a brain bleed."
"O, and if that's true, what caused it?"
"Last week he was changing a light bulb in the closet and hit his head on the track the doors are on. Look." I said pulling his hair out of the way. "He had to get stitches."
"Ok, and what do you suggest I do?"
"You are not doing anything, that…right there is next to his optic nerve. If anyone is doing this operation it is me."
"And why is that." Asked the Damien.
"Chief…"
"Anne, we have discussed this."
"But…"
"We can do the surgery tomorrow morning. Go home to your boys and come back in the morning. If anything happens we will call you."
"I…"
"Go."
I grabbed my purse and walked over to Kuni.
"I will be back, please be ok." I said kissing his forehead and leaving.
I walked up to Long Island and opened the door.
"Mom…"
"Where is dad?"
"Saeki, can you maybe whip us all up some dinner, I am starving."
"Sure." He said walking into the kitchen.
"Boys…" I said sitting down.
They sat down next to me.
I told them what happened and what was going to happen.
"So, he will be ok?" asked Cooper.
I looked at him.
"Mom?" Ethan said looking at me.
"They are going to do everything they can. All we can do now is prey."
"Here you go." Saeki said bringing out some food.
"Thanks…"
A few hours later the boys were asleep on the sofa at the bar and I was out on the balcony drinking.
"Anne?" Saeki said as he came outside.
"Yea?"
"He will be ok, you know that."
"I know it's just…thinking of all the things that can go wrong…and then if something does…the boys…I just…" I start crying.
"I know; if something happens to Kuni that it will be hard on the boys and you. You have to have faith in the doctors there."
"Thanks Saeki." I said walking inside.
"Anne…"
"Yea?"
"If anything does happen to Kuni, I…"
*RING RING*
"Hold on." I said grabbing my cell. "Hello…What…I'm on my way!"
"Everything ok?"
"I have to get back to the hospital…can you…"
"I'll watch them…go."
"Thanks, I will call as soon as I know anything." I said as I ran out the door.
I was sitting in Kuni's room waiting for him to wake up.
The surgery went fine they stopped the bleed and are just waiting for him to wake up.
"Anne?"
I looked up at Kuni.
"Your awake…thank god." I said hugging him.
"What happened?" he asked looking around.
I began to tell him what happened when the surgeon came in.
"How are you feeling Mr. Aikawa?"
"Ok I guess."
He proceeded to go through and do the entire neurological test with Kuni.
"Well you seem to be doing well. We need to keep you here for a little while though just to make sure we stopped the bleed and for you to heal."
"Ok." He said.
"Thanks Frank."
"Of course." He said leaving the room.
"How are the boys?" he asked.
"They are at the LI with Saeki. I was there with him when I got the call that you were out of surgery."
"Ok."
"I'll give him a call and have him bring them by in the morning."
"That sounds good. Why don't you go home and get some sleep."
"I'm good."
"Anne, you haven't slept in 24 hours, go home."
"I'm not going anywhere; I want to be here with you."
"There is no arguing with you is there." He said grabbing my hand.
"You're just now noticing?" I said laughing.
