Elizabeth Olsen x Female Reader("Soulmates from the start")

Chapter 69-Surgery

⚠️ Trigger Warning-surgery description ⚠️

*You and Lizzie take hands and walk out of the chapel together. You go to your hospital room for some time by yourselves before you have to be prepped for surgery.*

You take out your phone and put on some music.

Y/N: May I have this dance?

Lizzie scrunches up her nose at you and takes your hand and pulls you to her.

Lizzie: Of course you can, my wonderful wife...

You rub your hands through her hair and lean your head on her shoulder, as you sway back and forth together.

Lizzie: I love you so much Y/N!

Y/N: I love you more than anything!

She puts her finger under your chin and lifts your head up. Your eyes meet and you get lost in the connection, just like the first time you ever told each there how you felt. When your lips finally connect, you once again let your fears and worries slide away and let yourself imagine the good "what if?" What if the surgery is successful and you live a long healthy life? What if you and Lizzie get to have kids and be together?

You keep dancing together, but much too soon, a nurse comes to get you prepped for surgery.

Nurse: Congratulations on the wedding you two! I'm so sorry to interrupt this beautiful moment but we need to start getting you ready Y/N.

All of the emotions and pain come back. You don't want to leave.

You look at Lizzie with fear in our eyes.

Y/N: I-I'm really scared Lizzie. I don't want to leave you. I'm not ready for our story to be over!

You start to hyperventilate

Lizzie: Hey, listen to me.
She holds your face in her hands
Everything is going to be okay. I'll be here waiting the whole time. The next thing you know, you'll be waking up from surgery and I'll be kissing you and telling you how well it went.
Your life isn't over yet, and neither is our love story.

You are crying and smiling but you can't help but smirk at this last line.

Y/N: "Love story?" Like the Taylor Swift song?

Lizzie smiles and kisses your forehead

Lizzie: Well it is our song.

You grin and look into her face

Y/N: Yeah it is.

Lizzie: And before you know it we'll be at home dancing around to it again.

Y/N: Thank you for being with me through this. You really have made it so much more bearable. You've given me something to fight for.

Lizzie: I'll always be here.
She pulls you in for one last hug and whispers into your hair.
You're gonna be okay. You have to be okay.

*The nurse does some checks and then the anesthesiologist comes to brief you on the process of getting you to sleep. Then you get wheeled out towards the Operating Room. Lizzie walks with you until you reach a set of double doors.*

Nurse: I'm sorry, it's authorized personnel only beyond this point. You'll have to say your goodbyes now.

Lizzie leans down.

Lizzie: I refuse to say goodbye because this isn't goodbye so I'll just say that I love you.

Y/N: I love you too.

You kiss her and then she watches as you are wheeled through the doors. You turn around so she can't see your face and the tears fall uncontrollably.

*You are brought into the Operation Room and get on the table. Your IV is put in and your doctor briefly goes over the procedure with you.*

Dr. Stevens: Are you ready Y/N?

Y/N: Yes...I mean, I guess I'm ready as I'm going to get.

Anesthesiologist: Okay, just take deep breathes and count back from ten.

She puts the plastic part of the thing that releases the anesthesia, over your mouth and nose.

Y/N: One, two, three, four, five, six,
Your eyes start to fluter
seven, eight....

The sedation kicks in and you fall asleep.

Dr. Stevens and his residents begin the procedure.

Dr. Stevens: Povidone-iodine.

A nurse hands him a bottle with a brownish liquid that is used for disinfecting the skin before surgery. He pours some on your chest and hands it back.

Dr. Stevens: Ten blade.
He holds out his hand.

The other O.R nurse hands him a scalpel. He makes the cut between your ribs.

Dr. Stevens: Rib spreader.

He is handed the device and inserts it. He uses it to push your ribs farther apart.

Soon, he gets to the main portion of this procedure.

*Three hours later, Dr. Stevens is still working. A resident standing next to him begins to yawn.*

Dr. Stevens: I'm sorry, is me operating on this women's heart affecting your sleep schedule Dr. Wern?

Dr. Wern: I uh...no, Dr. Stevens.

Dr. Stevens: Get out. I need to focus. Send in Dr. Baso.

Dr. Stevens turns back and is instantly alarmed.

Dr. Stevens: Where is all this blood coming from? I need more lap pads!
He sets down his tools and sticks his hand inside your chest.
Crap! I can't find the bleeder!
He puts his finger in a certain spot and the bleeding slows.
Found it!

*1 hour later*

Dr. Stevens: Looks like we're almost ready to close. Good work everyone.

Suddenly one of the machines starts beeping.

Anesthesiologist: She's in cardiac arrest!

Dr. Stevens: Starting cardiac massage. I need a crash cart, now!

A nurse wheels the cart over

Dr. Stevens: Internal paddles!
He places the paddles on your heart.
Charge to 150. Clear.
He shocks your heart but nothing happens.
Charge again. Clear.
He shocks again.
Charge to 200. Clear.
Nothing happens.

Anesthesiologist: Dr. Stevens, she gone.

Dr. Stevens: No!
He doesn't take his eyes off of you.
Come on Y/N! It's not your time yet! Your wife is out there waiting for you!

Dr. Stevens: Charge again! Clear.
He shocks your heart again.

*beep, beep, beep*

Anesthesiologist: Heart rate returning to normal.

Dr. Stevens sighs with relief.

Dr. Stevens: Alright everyone, get ready to close.
