Chapter 12 Susans Pov: I wake up Cosmo, and tell him that we need to fly backto Chicago tonight. He becomes extremely worried. He asks if Joseph is alright. I don't know, but Luka and Abby want us back home. Your dad is going to stay behind and spend Christmas with Aunt Dee. Cosmo and I drive to the airport, and catch the next flight to Chicago. After waiting for three hours at the airport, our flight is finally announced. We hand the clerk our tickets, and board our flight.
Kerrys Pov: I look at my pager, it is Luka's number I pick up the phone. Luka answers, he tells me that I to find Henry, and Neela, and that we need to get up to Joseph's room. I spot Neela coming out of one of the tramua rooms. I grab her and tell her that we need to get up to Joseph's room right away, but we are to wait until Suan, Cosmo, Elizabeth get back. Luka tells me that Susan and Cosmo are on flight now from Vermont to Chicago, they should be there in about four hours, and Elizabeth has gone to the airport to pick up Rachel. When she gets there tell them not to come up, until Susan gets there. Ok I tell him. After I hang up with Luka I tell Neela and Henry to stay down here, until Elizabeth, Susan, and Cosmo get here. I then go back to work.
Henrys Pov: I had just stepped out of Ellas room when I heard Franks voice over the intercom. "Henry Weaver, your mom wants you downstairs now." I wonder what she wants as I get on the elevator. My mom and Neela are waiting for me, when I step off of the elevator. Mom tells me that I am to wait down here. Aunt Susan is coming home tonight with Cosmo, and Uncle Luka does not want us up there, until everybody is together. Ok I tell my mom, as I go over to Jerry and show him my new video player.
Elizabeths Pov: Rachel, the kids and I arrive back at the hospital. Rachel has been crying, and my heart is pounding. Please dear Lord, let Ella be alright. I start praying. When we walk through the emergency doors. Kerry spots us, and tell us that we are not suppose to go upstairs until Susan and Cosmo return. I ask what the hell is going on. Why not. Kerry tells me she does not know, but those were orders from Luka. I tell Rachel what is going on. She takes the kids to the cafeteria, to have some dinner. I go to the staff lounge, and look at old pictures hanging on the wall, of Mark, John Carter, Peter Benton, Lucy Knight, and of Robert Romano. Those were the days I tell myself. I sit down, and take the picture of Mark off of the wall, and say a silent prayer.
Cosmos Pov: The flight seems like it is taking forever. We finally arrive at the airport. My mom calls the hospital first. Kerry answers the phone, after mom is done, she tells me that when we arrive at the hospital, we are to meet in the lobby, and go up together. I wonder why, but I ask no questions. Mom next calls for a taxi, to take us to the hospital. on our ride to the hospital, I keep praying for Joseph to be alright. We arrive at the hospital, and go into the lobby. We are greated at the door by Jerry, who tells us that everybody is waiting for us in the staff lounge.

I thought it was time for a little humor in this story. I hope you do not think I am to morbid. Anyways here goes the next chapter.
Chapter 13 Susans Pov: Cosmo and I step into the staff lounge. Kerry, Henry, Neela, Rachel, and Elizabeth are all sitting there. Rachel comes over and gives me a hug. Susan it has been a long time. Yes it has Rachel. She introduces me to her two beautiful children, Michael and Vanessa. Your dad would have been proud Rachel. Rachel tells me thank you, and gives me another hug. What are waiting for, we are all here now, so lets get going. Kerry tell me we are to wait for Lukas page.
Abbys Pov: Luka and I are racking our brains, trying to figure out how we are going to let everybody know tha Joseph is awake. Jeneri and Joseph have been talking, and they finally have plan hatched. Jeneri asks Joe if he is up to it. Joe looks at her, and tells her sure. I tell the children, that they need to make sure it was ok for Joe to get out of bed. Jeneri asks if I would call Dr. Anspaugh. I call him, and he starts laughing when I tell him of the plans hatched by my to wonderful children. Dr. Anspaugh gives his permission. Jeneri jumps up and down. Now operation CHRISTMAS MIRACLE. can proceed. She chuckles.
Josephs Pov: At first mom did not like the idea. She thought we were pretty morbid. Dad told her that we needed to have a little fun. Just a he finished his sentence, a familiar face came in the room. "Yes Abby, let the kids have some fun." Mom turns her head, and Grandma Maggie is standing at the door. Mom stands up, and gives grandma a hug. How did get up here? mom asks her. She tells her that she walked on up. Then grandma asks why our friends are sitting in the staff lounge. Dad tells us that we need to prepare for OPERATION CHRISTMAS MIRACLE.
Lukas Pov: I help Joseph preapare. First we move him to a gurney. I find a gurney outside of the room. I bring the gurney inside. I tell Joseph I am going to remove the Iv from his arm. I will leave the port in place. Joseph lays down on the gurney, and I place a sheet over him. Jeneri is laughing in the back ground. I tell her that she needs not to laugh, or the surprise will not work. I tell everyone to look and act like they are mourning, lets really make this a big surprise for evryone. Everybody agrees. I pick up the phone and page Kerry.

Chapter 14 Kerrys Pov: My pager goes off again. I pick up the phone,and dial the number. hang up, that was Luka I tell everyone. He wants us all upstairs now. He sounded pretty upset I tell them. We step onto the elevator, not one word is spoken, but I know what is going on in everybody's head WHY? We reach the second floor, and step off of the elevator. As we reach the room I begin to feel a somber moment rush over me. I take a deep breath, and slowly open the door.
Neelas Pov: When Kerry opens the door, I look in the room, and notice that the bed Joseph is suppose to be in, is empty. I swallow hard. Then I notice Abby,Jeneri, and Abby's mother Maggie sitthing with their heads bowed. I look around again, and there standing in the corner is a gurney. It looks like someone is on it. A sheet covers the figure. Then I see and hear Luka reciting the Lord's prayer in his native Croatian.
The Lord's Prayer in Croatian Utsche Nasch, Ki jesi na nebesik posvetise ime tvoje pridi krajlestvo tvoje; i takoj na semlji Hlib nasch, bsakdanj i, dajnam da nsas I odpusit nam duge nasche, kako i mi odpustscham, duskaikom naschim. inevavedi nas vnapast; da isbavi nas od sla; iako tvojeje krajlestvo, i motsch i slava vavekj Amen. Luka then crosses himself and steps away from the gurney I put my hand to my mouth, and silently start to cry. I go over to Abby, and quietly put my hand on her shoulder. She looks up, and gives me a hug.
Susans Pov: When the door opened I could hear Luka saying what sounded like a prayer. I look over and see the empty bed. I think to myself, when Cosmo and Henry see this, they are going to flip. I take Cosmo by the hand, and prepare him for the worse. He turns around and screams, NO. I am so lost, how do I comfort my son. After he calms down we decide to go into the room. We enter the room. Cosmo and I stand back saying our own little prayer.
Elizabeths Pov: I am the last one to enter the room. Rachel and I left the children downstairs with Haleah. I first notice the empty bed, and the lights turned down low. Abby is sitting on the floor. I see Neela rocking her, and Jeneri. I go over to Luka, and give him a big hug. He tells me us all thank you for being there with the family during the last four months. Luka then looks at Henry and Cosmo, and asks the boys if they would please come and join him by the gurney. The two boys look at him weird. Then they go and stand by the gurney.

Chapter 15 Josephs Pov: It is starting to get warm under this here sheet. Now is the time to unfold Operation Christmas Miracle. I hear my two best friends standing by my dad. They are telling him how sorry they were for my passing. I am trying not to laugh. Henry is standing with his back towards me. I decide now is the time. I take my hand out from under the sheet, and put it on Henrys shoulder. He turns around, thinking its my dads hand. When he realizes it is not his hand. he starts going beserk. I pull the sheet off of my head and sit up. Aunt Neela passes out, Henry and Cosmo both turn white as a ghost, Elizabeth stands there, and Susan and Kerry are not to happy. After everything calms down. We explain that this is how we wanted to celebrate a Christmas Miracle.
Cosmo Pov: I see the sheet being lifted up, and Joseph sitting up laughing. I turn whit as a ghost, and start stammering. "Your alive." Josseph tells me yes. He had woke up that afternoon. This is why mom and I were told to come back early. "Yep" Joseph replies. I tell him all that has been going on in school. Joseph asks me if anybody else downstairs knows he's awake. I tell him no. Good he says, keep it that way. "In a couple of days I am going to go downstairs, and give Morris a real good scare." replies Joseph. I tell Joseph that I would love to help him out.
Henrys Pov: After the color comes back in my face I give Joseph a hug. I tell him and Cosmo looks like the Three Muskateers are back. We start planning a little pay back for Morris. I ask my mom, if she would help. Mom is pretty reluctant to help us out, but Susan tells her "Sounds like fun, lets do it." Mom agrees. She has asked everybody, but us teenagers to go down stairs to the staff lounge, for a meeting. After the adults leave. I tell Joseph that Ella has not woke up yet. Joseph just sits there.

Chapter 16 Kerrys Pov: I have gone back downstairs. I am getting everyone ready for the staff meeting. Everybody is looking at me, like "what have we done now?" I tell them that I will explain, as soon as Abby and Luka get down here. I look at Morris, and tell him that I am going to have a special meeting with him later, he does not have to attend this meeting. Morris looks at me kind of strange. As soon as Abby and Luka come down the stairs, everybody comes up and gives them both a hug. We all head into the staff lounge. When everybody is seated, I start the meeting. Good morning I tell them all. Abby and Luka have asked us all to be here. They have an announcement to make, and then the reason we are here for this meeting. After I am finished I turn it over to Abby.
Abbys Pov: Good morning I tell everybody. Last night Joseph woke up. Everybody started whoooping and hollering, they got up, started giving both Luka and I hugs, and special wishes. Joseph would like to come down, and see everybody, but he wants to do it in his own special way. A few of you were there last night, when Joseph decided to pull what he and his sister call OPERATION CHRISTMAS MIRACLE. Tomorrow he wants to pull off his second round. We need all of your help. The reason why Morris is not joining us today, is because he is going to be the brunt of the joke. Everybody started clapping and laughing. Here is what he wants to do. Cosmo and Henry are going to bring him down on a stretcher, with his head covered up with a sheet. "Oh like he has just passed away." Pratt says. Yes I tell him, then they are going to leave the gurney in place by a wall and take off. Morris is going to spot the gurney, that is when you nurses need to get him away from the gurney, and keep morrris busy. Give him the easiest tasks to do. After a while of Morris trying to see about the gurney, and you nurses keeping him very busy. Susan and Neela, are going to go over to the gurney to check it out. The clipboard, which I will have made up, is going to have Morris's name on it as the doctor. They are going to get suspicious, and wonder why Morris has not treated his patient yet. The rest of the joke will be up to Joseph, and his band of little merry little jokesters.
Josephs Pov: Cosmo, Henry, and I are up in my room preparing for OPERATION CHRISTMAS MIRACLE. Then later on we are going to have Christmas dinner in the room. I told Cosmo, that he is in charge of getting me down stairs on the gurney, Henry you will be the look out. Make sure, when we get down stairs, that Morris is no where to be found. Park the gurney by Trauma 1, by the wall. I tell Cosmo. Then head up to the cafeteria, or back here to my room. I will take over from there. This should be so much fun. The guys and I talk for a little longer. Then I tell Cosmo and Henry, that I would like to go down and see Ella. The guys told me, that if she does not wake up, by the end of the year, then they are going to move her to a care facility, some where here in Chicago. I get in my wheelchair, and go to see Ella. When I get to Ella's room, I wheel myself over to the bed, and give her a small kiss on the cheek. I tell her all about waking up, and the joke that we plan pulling on Morris. I tell her all about Morris. I also tell her about the Christmas dinner that we are having that night. Cosmo and Henry stand there with me. None of us knew your dad, but I bet he was the coolest guy around here. I tell her. Just as we were finishing up, Rachel walks in the door. We turn around, and get ready to head out the door. No stay boys, you are probably what she needs right now, says Rachel. I tell Rachel that we would be back a little later, we have some planning to do. Just as we start heading back out the door again, Cosomo looks over at the bed, and notices the sheets are moving.

Chapter 17 Cosmos Pov: I turned back around and notice that the blankets covering Ella start moving. I go over to them, and notice that Ella's right hand is on top of the blanket. It was under the blanket just a few minutes ago. I look at Rachel, and tell her to quit playing games. Rachel looks at me, and tells me that she did not move Ella's hand. I call over to the other guys. They both come and take a look. Joseph says it might just be a reflex. Yeah maybe I tell him, but I am not giving up hope yet. We head out the door, and back to Josephs room, so we can get ready to pull the ulitimate prank on Morris.
Josephs Pov: We get back to the room, I go ahead and find a gurney outside the room. We bring it into the room. I climb on, and Henry covers me with a sheet. Ready asks Cosmo. Sure thing I tell him. We head out the door and to the elevator. We are almost caught by a janitor. What are you boys doing with that gurney, he asks. Henry tells him that his mom wants the gurney downstairs, and I am helping her out today. Oh ok the janitor replies. All three of us breathe a sigh of relief. We get down to the er, and notice that Morris is wandering around the hall way. Sam spots Morris, and she asks him to please come into Tramua 1. He leaves, and we park the gurney by the wall. A few minutes later Morris starts to come over to the gurney, to check it out. When out of the blue Haleah calls for Morris to come and help her with a patient, who is getting out of hand. Morris leaves.
Abbys Pov: I notice the gurney parked out in the hall way. I look under the sheet, to make sure that it is Joseph, and not a real dead person. Joseph winks at me, and I walk off. I decide to look at the clipboards that Susan had made up the night before. I look at the name of the doctor, who is suppose to take care of this problem. Morris the sheet of paper says. I am fuming mad, I go to look for Morris. I find him in exam 4 helping Haleah with a patient. "Morris" I yell at him. He looks at me, and shrugs his shoulders. "Why is there a dead body out in the hallway, why haven't you taken the body to the mourge." Morris says he was going to take the body down, but everybody kept grabbing me, and wanting me to do things for them. He replies. Well get on it, and get that body down to the mourge. I tell him.
Josephs Pov: I feel the gurney being moved. We are heading for the mourge. Cosmo and Henry spot the gurney being moved, and follow it. When we reach the mourge. We decide that this is the best time to pull of our little suprise for Morris. Morris opens the door,parks the gurney, and gets ready to leave. When he hears some noises coming from underneath my sheet, he comes over to take a look. "Morris, oh Morris." Henrys voice is coming from behind one of the tables. Morris takes a look around. He cannot believe what he is hearing. He walks back over to the gurney, and stands there. Then he turns around and begins walking out the door. Morris, where are you going? " says Henrys voice again. Morris comes back to the sheet one more time. He notices that my hand and arm are sticking out of the side of the gurney. Morris shakes his head, and starts to turn around. I take my hand and put it on his shoulder. Morris slowly turns around, and pulls the sheet off. I sit up, and say hello Morris. Morris quickly turns around, and bolts screaming out of the door

Chapter 18 Josephs Pov: Cosmo and Henry are rolling on the floor. Did you see Morris's face? We go back downstairs. My mom finds us, and asks what we did to Morris. We told her that Morris had moved me down to the mourge. When we got there, I decided it was time to pull our prank. She tells us that Morris came running back to the ER. He is now white as a ghost, and sucking down the oxygen. I tell mom that we did not mean for it to go that far. Mom tells us that we need to find Morris and apologize. Ok I tell her. After we apolgize to Morris we head back upstairs. It is time for my physical therapy. When we get back up to the room Elizabeth and Rachel are there. Elizabeth tells us that Ella is starting to slowly wake up. We give both Elizabeth and Rachel a hug.
Susans Pov: I go into exam three to check on Morris. He is sitting there with his oxygen. He is muttering that a dead person put a hand on his shoulder. I try to tell him that Joseph, Cosmo, and Henry were playing a joke on him. He is not buying it. He is bound and determined that a dead person touched him. Why don't you go home, and get some rest. Come back to work tomorrow, when you are feeling better. Morris takes off his oxygen, grabs his stuff, and heads out the door. I finish up my charting, and go upstairs to look for Cosmo.
Abbys Pov: Luka and I are finishing up with a patient. An elderly gentleman end stage renal failure. His wife wants us to save his life. Luka is running around looking for his chart. Who was the last one to have this patients chart, Luka asks. Chuney tells him that Morris was the last one to have it. Damn Morris where did he put that chart. We need to find the chart, and make sure that this patient is not a DNR, so we can save his life. Replies Luka. I head out, and go into the staff lounge, laying on the table is the chart. Morris must have left it sitting here. I read the chart and find out the man is a DNR. We tell his wife that we are not allowed to do anything for him, but keep him comfortable. The wife shakes her head, and walks out of the hospital. After we the patient comfortable. We finish our charting, and head upstairs to be with Joseph for a little while, before we head home.

Chapter 19 Abbys Pov: It is hard to image that four months have went by since the accident. Luka and I are ready to take Joseph home. He is ready to be home with his family, even though he will need more therapy, he feels is ready to be home with his family. Luka has gone downstairs, to take some more stuff down to the car. Joseph is having his last phyiscal therapy in the hospital. After he is done, he wants to go say good bye to Ella, and then he will be free. I am very thankful to be able to have my baby back. I am very thankful to have my husband, and both of my children home with me again. Joseph has just come back from therapy. Well champ, are you ready to go home today, I ask him. He tells me that he is, but he hates having to leave Ella here. I tell him, that he can come up to the hospital whenever he wants to visit. Joseph gives me a hug, and then heads out the door in his wheelchair, he is going to go and visit Ella.
Josephs Pov: Physical therapy was hard today. Grant my therapist, had me walking with a walker today. I was very thankful, when I was able to get into the pool, it felt so good. When I returned to my room, I noticed that dad was gone. Mom told me that dad was loading stuff up in the car. I am ready to go home, but leaving Ella here, just breaks my heart. I keep praying each day that she will wake up soon. After I give my mom a hug and a kiss, I take my wheelchair, and head down to Ella's room. He therapist is there, to work the muscles in her legs, and arms. I wait until she is done before I go in. When the therapist leaves I wheel my self next to the bed. I tell Ella that I am getting ready to head home today. I give her a hug, and tell not to give up the fight. Just as I am about ready to leave. I feel Ella's hand on my head. I look up, and Ella's blue eyes start opening, just a little. I wheel my self out of the room, I go down to my room, and find my mom. I tell my mom what is going on, she comes back down to the room with me, and sure enough Ella is waking up. Mom runs out of the room, she is going to go look for Elizabeth. I stay with Ella.
Elizabeths Pov: I have decided to go and grab a bite of lunch while Ella is having her physical therapy. Sometimes it is so hard to sit in the room day after day, and watch your only daughter, not waking up. I want her to wake up, I want to be able to take her home. I had just got off of the phone with Rachel. Kai just got a transfer to Chicago, so they will soon be moving from Hawaii to Chicago. Just as I finish up Abby comes running into the cafeteria. With the look on her face tells me something is wrong. Abby runs up to me. She tells me that Ella is awake, and that I need to come up to the room right away. We get back on the elevator, the ride up to her room, seems to take forever. When I enter her room, Ella is laying there with her eyes open. She is looking around the room. I go over to her, and give her a big hug. Ella stares blankly at me, as if to say "who are you?" I ask her what she wants. The first thing she tells me is that she wants some french fries, and then she wants to be able to go home. These were the most wonderful words I had ever heard.
