Change of Heart

A Change of Heart Chapter 7

"I'm sorry there's no brain activity" the doctor told Pauline. Pauline fell to the floor as tears fell down her face. Her father helped her to a chair. He hugged his daughter as she cried. "Don't worry baby his life will live on in others" he whispered in her ear. In the organ coordinator's office the lady was on the phone. "All right his left lung and right one are going to Michigan and Iowa; his kidney is going to Colorado. His heart is going to Rhode Island".

A knock came to the door she opened it to see her secretary with an email she just got. She thanked her secretary and read the email as she shut the door. "Hold on I just got an update the heart is going to New Jeresy. This guy is on borrow time see yea soon" and hung up. In a private operating room Pauline watched as her son's organs were taking out and put into a cooler one by one.

In the hall as they waited for their organ to be harvest a nurse walked up to each of the doctors who came to retrieve the organs a letter. "What's this?". "It's a letter from the donor's family they want the recipients to read it if they survive" the nurse replied and left. In New Jeresy, Criss was so weak he could barely walk down the hall. "Molly-I-I-don't want to die" Criss said weakly. "I know Criss nobody wants to die" she remarked wiping the tears from his face.

A knock came to the door and the doctor came in. "Christopher I have some great news a heart has been found and it matches you. It's on its way right now so we need to get you ready" the doctor stated. A smile appeared on Criss's face as a tear fell down Molly's face. "Molly call my mom" Criss asked as the ordeals took Criss to the operating room. "I will Criss" and dialed the number.

At her church Dimitra was praying as a priest came over. "Dimitra" he said as Dimitra put her head up. "Father Mikados". "You praying for Criss to get a new heart" he remarked sitting next to her. "I don't want to bury my youngest I want him to live" she replied wiping the tears from her face. He reminded her how strong Criss is and how much he has his father's strength to survive anything he or god put in front of him.

Just than her phone rang she picked it up and saw it was Molly. "Molly, please don't tell me Christopher-what are you serious yes I'll be right there," and hung up. "Excuse me father I have to go" she remarked. As the priest got up and Dimitra opened the door she looked at the priest and said Ευχαριστώ πατέρα απαντήσατε προσευχή μου. (Thank you father you have answered my pray.)

In the waiting room Molly was pacing back and forth, she hoped Dimitra and Criss's brothers get to the hospital just in case they need to say their good-byes to Christopher. "Molly!" a voice called out. She turned around and saw her sister who was on crutches following a torn Achilles tendon while on tour with the Supernaturalists. "Krystyn what are you doing here?". "I was with JD when Dimitra called and told us about Criss. When did he go in?".

"Thirty seconds ago" she remarked as JD came over. JD gave Molly a hug as Dimitra walked in. After JD's hug Dimitra gave her one. "Thank you for being here when the news was giving" she said. "You're welcome Dimitra why don't we sit down it's going to be a while" Molly replied. It felt like weeks when the doctor finally came out and told them Criss had made it through with flying colors. "Can we see him please?"Dimitra asked. "In a little while,".

The doctor was about to walk off when he took something out of his coat pocket. "Before I forget the donor's mother wrote a letter to everyone who got an organ from her son and she asked them to be giving to the donor or in your case the family" giving the letter to Dimitra as he left.
