Once Lost, Now Found

Chapter 9

It was the next morning and I was fucking exhausted.

They beeped me all night.

I got up and clocked in. "You my intern?" I looked to see Nova. "Yeah."

"Let's go."

"We got 2 hours. I gotta shower and brush my teeth." "Welcome to surgery you'll be lucky if you even get sleep."

I tied my hair in a ponytail and tried to look decent.

"Can I at least get a peppermint?" He handed me one. "Yo breath is a little ripe."

"No shit Sherlock."

I ate it.

We went to her room.

She was still sleep. "Your job right now is to make sure she eats and take her medicine. I need to make sure she goes into this surgery positive."

I nodded.

He walked out and I tapped her lightly.

She moved. "Destiny get up pretty girl." I said. She looked at me. "Morning."

"Morning baby girl."

"Today is the day." She said.

"Yeap let's get you up and afterwards you'll eat and take your meds." She nodded.

I helped her out the bed and she bent over.

"You okay?"

"Just dizzy." "Come on let's go slow." I helped her walk to the restroom.

We was getting ready and I was scrubbing my hands and arms.

"Nova can I ask you a question?"

"What?" "Have you ever lost a patient?"

He looked at me. "Nah I'm the best. I started off 2 years ago and not once did I lose one. Look ion like you at all but this my reputation on the line so imma put it like this if you go in negative yo outcome gone be negative."

He walked into the room.

I dried my hands and put my gloves on.

"Dear God please watch over Destiny as we give her this surgery. Watch over my hands and every other doctors. Amen."

I went into the room.

"Okay Destiny I'm Dr. Nova Royals and this is Dr. Moore. I'm pretty sure you already know the procedure. You ready?" He asked her.

She nodded.

"SaKiyah I'mma be okay right?"

"Look here Destiny. When you done we can get ice cream and watch movies all day okay?" She smiled.

"Alright." "Destiny can I get you to talk to me about yourself." "Sure." They did her anesthesia. She started talking.

"My favorite color is purple and I want to become a doc—." She stopped talking.

"Let's go. SaKiyah watch me closely."

I nodded.

Nova POV
This was gone be fun having her here.

I was gone make sure her surgery went well because of course my job is number one.

I cut her open and SaKiyah was fully alert.

"Dr. Moore what do you do next now that the skin is cut?" "You have to make sure all organs and important tissues are out the way.

Once you do that you find how many lobes is attached to her lungs to figure out how much of the lung should be removed." "Nice work." I said. I did as told.
