~Mia~
Dr.Sellers called Michael and I in because there was an emergency with my tests. We sat down in her office and I was dreading the moment.
"Baby what if she says the cancer is back?" I asked nervously
"Sweetpea dont think like that. Im sure its just something minor." he said in a calming tone. Sellers walked in with a grim look. "Im afraid we have some bad news." she said sitting down.
"What is it?" Michael asked
"Well, every since we started Mia on chemo, which seemed like a good idea at the time...."
"I told you I didnt want it." I said interrupting.
"Mia....the chemo made your kidneys weak. They are on the brink of failing. They are almost burnt out." Sellers said.
"OK we can do a transplant." Michael blurted.
"Its not that easy Michael. We have to wait for kidneys. Most on the list only need one. Mia needs both, unless you can cope with only one kidney until then. The list is very full and by demand. I can put her on the list but she wont be at the top very quickly."
"How long?" Michael asked
"Who's to say? First come first serve."
"Great! Ill go home and write my death certificate!" I said angrily.
"Calm down baby you're pregnant." Michael said sitting me down.
"What about our baby?" I asked
"Well....having the baby will cause a great strain on your kidneys. Its a major risk. We might suggest that you do a ceserean section, so the baby will be healthy and you will be fine. You might have to deliver early though, because carrying it to full term will be stressful on you Mia."
"I dont know about all this...." I said
"Mia we're in your best interest."
"To hell with me! I want my baby to be delivered with no problems. My baby is more important."
"I understand. There is another option. Someone from your family can test and see if they are a match. Its a very good chance that your parents may be it."
"My mother maybe....but my father is dead." I said sadly
"Im sorry about that Mia. I didnt mean to..."
"Thats alright."
"Can I give her one of mine?" Michael asked
"Well...we'd have to see if you're a match. We can take a blood test and see. It should take about an hour."
"Are you crazy?! Michael you are not giving me..."
"Dont tell me what I can do with my body." he said seriously
"Do you want to test?" Sellers asked
"Yes. Tell me what I have to do." Sellers smiled. "Follow me this way." she said getting up. I had a suprised look on my face. He is so damn stubborn.
~An Hour Later~
Michael and I sat and waited for Sellers to come out. I was so pissed at him for doing this. What if something happens to him? What if?
She came out with a bunch of papers. She handed them to Michael. "These are yours. For your records."
"Thanks." he said taking them.
"Mia. I think you better thank Michael. You've got a good one." she said smiling.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked puzzled. She smiled and walked away. "See you back on Moday to schedule your surgery." she called. I was confused and Michael smiled wide. "What the hell is going on here?"
"Ill be damned....." Michael said smiling and looking at the papers. "I dont like to feel slow...so tell me what happened! What surgery?"
"Mia.....we're a match! We're a match you banana brain!" he said hugging me. My eyes went wide and I snatched the papers. "Blood match POSITIVE. Well scratch my scales! Michael you idiot!" I said laughing.
He kissed me and looked into my eyes. "Ill do anything for you Mia. You're my life." he said.
"Oh Michael."
"You can call me King." he joked
"Shut up!" I said playfully pushing him. He chuckled and held out his hand. "Lets go get somethin to eat. Im starvin!" I grabbed his hand and giggled.
"Come on my King" i said as we walked out the office.
