Update... Hey, I know all of you want to know about Abby... on the nexts chapters, I promise... XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Note: It's almost an hour since Danijela's died... Chapter 18: Now what? Los Angeles, California When Luka arrived at his friend's home, it was almost eleven... he picked up Marko on his arm and picked Jasna hand with the other and walked to the door... His friend saw that he had arrived, so he opened the door... 'Luka... what's going on?' he asked, with his wife behind him. 'Where's...' Luka shook his head, then drooped it... David saw his expression and stopped at the same moment... he knew then that something horrible had happened... with Danijela... Molly, David's wife put her hand over her mouth... 'Come in...' David said, opening space to them... X ~ X ~ X After some insistence of Molly's part, Jasna went to sleep, on the same bedroom Marko was... Meanwhile, Luka and David were talking into the kitchen... 'What are we going to do now?' Luka asked, with a hand on his forehead... a few tears had dropped from his eyes into the marble surface... David had a hand on his friend's back and was rubbing it... Luka was still with his uniform on... 'I don't know, but Molly and I are here for you...' David said. Luka took a deep breath, still staring ahead... At this moment, Molly entered into the kitchen again... both men looked at her... 'She slept...' she said. 'She was still crying a lot...' Luka sighed and sat straight on the seat... 'I know I have to be strong for them, but I don't know if I can...' he said. 'Yes, you can...’ said Molly, putting her hand on top of his. 'Do you want us to call anyone? Family maybe ' Luka shook his head. 'It's ok...' he said. 'I just have to call my brother... he will talk with Danijela's parents...' 'I'll call him, don't worry...' she said.

Update...
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Chapter 19: Despair...
County Hospital, Chicago, Illinois 12:07 AM
Eric arrived in a rush in the ER. He went directly to the reception... he was desperate...
'Where is she?' he asked. 'Where's my sister?'
Jerry didn't know him. So, he tried to speak with him...
'Sir, you need to come down...' Jerry said. 'A doctor will be talking to you in a few minutes...'
'I don't need to calm down...' Eric screamed. 'My sister was stabbed... and where's my nephew?'
'Sir, you need to wait...’ Jerry tried to say, seeing that the man was walking into the corridor.
Pratt, have heard the shouting on the reception, looked from a exam room...
'Hey, what's going on?' he asked.
Eric looked at him... suddenly, to securities guards appeared behind him.
'Where's my sister?' Eric asked, again.
'What's your sister name?' Pratt asked... he would resolve this...
But before Eric had any chance of saying, a voice called him:
'Uncle Eric...'
It was Andrew. Eric looked at him and knelt on the floor. Andrew ran to him and Eric picked him up. Andrew started to cry, again...
'Shhh...' Eric said. 'I'm here now...'
'Mommy...' Andrew said, between sobs.
Eric kissed him on the forehead and looked at Pratt.
'You're Abby's brother?' Pratt asked again.
‘Well, duh...' Eric said.
Pratt sighed.
'She's in surgery right now...' Pratt explained.
'Surgery?' Eric asked.
Pratt nodded.
'Come with me... I'll take you upstairs...' Pratt said.
'Thank you...'
X ~ X ~ X
Inside the OR, Dubenko and Anspaugh were trying to stabilized Abby... she had lost too much blood already...
Suddenly, the beep stopped and a sign appeared on the monitor, with a straight line...
'Damn...' Dubenko said. 'She's crashing...'
Anspaugh picked up the intern paddles from the defibrillator and shocked Abby's heart.
'She's normal...' Dubenko said a few seconds later and looked to the other doctor. 'She had lost so much blood and she's still here...’
'I don't know if she will survive, though...' said Anspaugh. 'Maybe, with a transplant...'
Dubenko nodded. He knew that Abby's chance were slim... very slim... but no one would give up on her, yet...
'How many bags until now?' he asked the nurse.
'Eight and going to another...' she said.
He nodded again and turned back to his patient...

Hey, a little update... XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Chapter 20: Hope? Eric and Pratt walked into the waiting room. Andrew was still into his uncle's arms. 'I don't know how long the surgery will be...' said Pratt. 'I'll be back when my shift is over...' Ok...' said Eric, sitting in one of the chairs. Pratt walked away and Eric was alone with his nephew... 'Andrew?' he called. Eric put him sitting on his legs. Andrew looked at his uncle... 'Mommy is going to be alright...' Eric said. Andrew lowered his head. 'I had a dream where something bad happened to mommy and I was all alone...' he said, starting to cry. 'Like now...' 'Andrew, you're not alone...' said Eric. 'You have me... and grandma Maggie...' 'Aunt Susan...' Andrew said, sniffing. 'That's right...' said Eric, smiling a little. 'Don’t worry...' He messed a little Andrew's hair and they hugged again. X ~ X ~ X Cardiology, County Hospital The cardiology team ran to the patient room (the one who would receive the heart) when they heard the code blue, a sign of emergency... 'What's going on?' asked Dr. Thompson, one of the residents in cardiology. 'She's crashing again...' answered a nurse, doing CPR on the patient... Dr. Thompson looked at the monitor... he was thinking about what he was going to do, but none of the ideas would work... the patient was too sick... 'Stop...' he said. 'She's too sick... The nurse looked at him and stopped after a few seconds... 'Time of death, 12:06 AM...' he declared. 'I'm going to talk with the family...' XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Dani

Chapter 21: Hope...
O' Hare airport 01:58 AM
The airplane, from LA had just arrived in Chicago... it was going to London, so Chicago was just a connection.
Slowly, the plane was stopping, but Shelby, the nurse who was taking the heart to County, in Chicago, got up from her seat... there wasn't much time and waist it was out of question...
‘Good luck...' said a stewardess, opening the door to her, when the plane stopped.
She smiled and ran to the medical helicopter waiting for her...
X ~ X ~ X
County Hospital 02:12 AM
Shelby, entered into the surgical ward, running. The doctors were there, talking...
Another nurse, in the telephone at the nurse station, looked at them.
'She's compatible...' she said, hanging up the phone.
'Doctors?’ Shelby called.
They turned to her... Anspaugh and another doctor ran to her. Shelby handed them the termical bag.
'Hope I got here on time...' she said to them.
'Depends of what you mean ' on time '...' Anspaugh said taking it to the surgical room, where Dubenko was trying to keep Abby's alive...
Shelby didn't understand what he meant by that. She looked to the nurse.
'What did he mean by that?' Shelby asked her.
‘The patient who was waiting for that heart died a while ago...' she explained. 'But there was a doctor, from here, who was stabbed and she's compatible, so they are doing the transplant...'
'But won't they be in trouble for doing it?' Shelby asked.
'Don't worry...' the nurse said. 'One of Anspaugh's brother – in – law is a coordinator from the transplant board...'
Shelby nodded.
'The doctor's brother and son are here...' the nurse continued. The little boy saw the attack...'
Shelby looked at the waiting area and saw a man sitting there, with a sleeping little boy, at his side.
No child deserves to see that... Shelby thought.

Glad you liked it... XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Chapter 22: Abby... It was 04:12AM. Eric extended himself on the seat of the waiting room... he fell asleep on it... he looked at his nephew, sleeping beside him... Andrew was exhausted... Maggie would arrive only in the morning... they were on their meds. It was the only condition that Abby would accept for them to be near Andrew... Eric sighed and looked at his watch... now, it was 04:15AM At this moment, Dubenko showed, looking for someone... Eric was the only one there, so the doctor knew that he was the one he was looking for... 'Are you Abby's brother?' Dubenko asked. 'Yes...' said Eric, getting up. 'How is she?' 'Well, her condition is delicated...' explained Dubenko. 'She had three wound stabs: one in her spleen, one in her stomach and one in her heart... we thought it was near the heart, but when we opened her chest, we could see it was in the heart ... this was the real problem, and we couldn't fix it... ' Eric felt himself being sick at each word... he sat quickly on the chair as Dubenko ordered a glass of water for him... Dubenko sat on his ankles and looked at Eric. 'Your sister is fine...' he said. 'We're finishing the operation and she's going to the ICU...' Eric didn’t understand... 'We needed to do a heart transplant...' Dubenko explained. 'We had a patient waiting for a heart but she died soon after midnight... your sister was compatible, so we did the operation...' 'So, she is fine?' asked Eric. 'She's going to live?' Dubenko nodded. 'Yes...’ he said. 'But as I said, her condition is delicated... we're keeping her in an induced coma because of the blood loss, until her body is healed... Abby has a long way ahead of herself, but she will live...' Eric was alleviated and smiled. 'Thank you, Dr...?' said Eric. 'Dubenko...' said the doctor. He looked at a sleeping Andrew. 'If it wasn't for this little boy...' Eric looked over his nephew. 'Yeah... he saved her life...' said Eric. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Note: I was doubting this sentence: Eric was the only one there, so the doctor knew that he was the one he was looking for... I don't know it is right or confusing... can you girls tell me, so I can fix it? Thank you... Dani
