Sleep with one eye open

Good News

DEREK'S POV-

After an hour of sitting, waiting for the doctor to come and tell me if there's any surgeons available, she finally came back in.
" Is there anyone here who can take the bullet out?" I was on the verge of tears..
"Sadly... No.... But one of the doctors said he will come in as soon as he possibly could so he can perform her surgery... But, he lives an hour away.. And it's his sons birthday." When the doctor told me this my heart fell. Nobody can leave their child on their birthday. It's not right... But my baby girl is dying..
"Okay.. Just tell me if he can come today..."
"Alright. I'll leave you alone for a little while. Do you want lunch or anything? I can have the nurses order it for you if you would like." The doctor sounded like she wanted to be concerning but it didn't come across that way.
"No I'm fine. Thank you." Who could possibly eat at a time like this?
"Okay just call if you need anything." The doctor left.

"Baby.. The doctor is coming today.. They are going to remove the bullet... I promise you, after all of this is over I will make sure you live your life pain free... I'll even make sure you don't get a paper cut.. I'll buy extra thick paper for you... Haha.. I know if you were awake you would've laughed at that one... But uh.. Baby.. If you can hear me.. I just want you to know that you're the reason I wake up every morning... I can't wait to see your beautiful smile when I open my eyes. I can't wait to see your face with no makeup, your hair a mess.. You look beautiful no matter what. I want you to know I will always be here. I'm never leaving.. Even if you don't make it.. Even though I know you will, you're strong. And you've got the whole team, and the entire FBI prayin for you... I will never love anyone as much as I love you. I will talk to you every day. I will sleep extra so we can be together in my dreams. I will do anything possible so you know how much I love you... I know you can hear me baby girl.. And when you wake up.. Please just remember what I said... I love you.." I was interrupted by the nurse.
"I know the doctor said you didn't want anything, but we brought you some food anyway. Since you haven't eaten all day.. You don't have to eat it now if you don't want to.. But just eat some throughout the night.."
"Alright, I will thank you sir. And uh.. Hey, do you know anything about the doctor? Is he on his way?" I still feel a little bad that it's his sons birthday. But his son will have more.. If he doesn't get here, my baby girl won't have anymore...

Now I'm getting selfish... Oh well.

"Yes, he's on his way. He should be here in about 10.. 15 minutes max. Another nurse will be in in a minute to prep for surgery."
"Thank you"
Yes. My baby girls gonna make it! She's gonna be fine! Ahh yes! I can't wait to hear that sweet, loving voice again....
