"And he was completely conscious?" A shocked Destiny exclaimed through her surgical mask.

"One hundred percent awake—my thing is, how does this situation even happen?" Dr. Pritchard says. Destiny shook her head with a small chuckle.

"How is his bp dr.Lawerence?"

"Bp is stable—" Destiny was cut off by the monitor alarm going off, "he's crashing!"

"Damnit, there's a bleed" dr. Pritchard says in a firm tone, I have to open him up more to find the source of the bleed"

"Bp's dropping" Destiny spoke before feeling a sharp pain in her lower stomach causing her to grab her stomach in pain.

"He's crashing" Destiny cleared her throat, "we need a crash cart in here!"

"Paddles—give me the paddles now!" Dr. Pritchard yelled before grabbing the paddles and placing them onto the patient's chest.

"Clear!" Destiny yelled before looking at the monitor, "no sign of resuscitation, charge to three hundred, clear!"

The monitor began beeping at a steady pace, making Destiny sigh in relief.

"We have a pulse" she whispered with a smile before wincing at the sharp pain in her stomach.

"Lawrence you alright?"

"Um—uh yea I'm fine, just a little nauseous" she replied.

Dr. Pritchard looked towards Destiny before speaking, "well if you're not feeling well, then you need to leave the OR"

Destiny felt anger and sadness fall over her as tears pooled in her eyes, "no no I'm fine, the moment's over, I can last"

"Alright"

"Oh my god I am so tired" Destiny sighed as she slipped off her new balance and walked to her bathroom.

"Where you wan' ta' eat mama?" Ja'rod asked bringing in their bags of food.

"Kitchen!"

"Aight" he responded before going silent. Destiny took her black bundles out of the poorly braided crown before wiping and flushing.

She examined her face as she scrubbed her hands, "I—look—a mess" She ripped off a paper towel before patting her hands dry before gasping in pain.

"What the hell" she whispered to herself as she grabbed her stomach in pain.

Tears stung in her eyes as the pain paralyzed her body, "oh my god" she sniffled.

Ja'rod heard sniffing coming from the bathroom causing him to knock, "you good?"

Destiny wiped her cheeks before speaking, "yea, uh, my stomach is hurting—that's all"

"You gotta shit?"

Destiny let out a chuckle as the pain subsided, "no I think is gas pain" she spoke before opening the door.
