Sirens (Cheryl fanfic)

Chapter 68

Deep Breath...

Clock's ticking and its fifteen minutes before Max will be rolled out of the ICU for her operation..I'm sh*tting myself right now.I've been holding her hand all night while Katy did the talking with the doctors...

I'm so nervous, my hands and feet are cold and I can't even breathe properly..My mind is everywhere in the worse way. I kept thinking what if..What if this could be the last time I would hear her breathe...That thought pops into my mind the moment the clock stroke four..

I keep thinking what would I say to her..I know she can hear us..But I don't know if she'll ever listen..I like to say many things to her but just can't get it out on words..Everytime I try and open my mouth nothing will come out..Its either a stutter or a breath. I've never been this scared on my whole entire life, even when I lost her before..I can't let that happen right now..I glanced at the clock making me bit my lip as I feel hot tears behind my eyes.

"Uhm..Five minutes baby." I whispered. "You're gonna do good yea...You can do it....After this, everything will be okay..No doctors anymore..I promise you.." I let out a shaky breath and plant a soft kiss on her hand.

"Chez, doctors here.." Katy said softly as she walks towards Max planting a kiss on her forehead before mumbling something to her that I didn't quite get . I sighed and stood up planting a tender kiss on her forehead.

"I promise...I love you.." The doctors fixed her as Katy pulled us back gently wrapping her arms around us. I watched as they rolled her out the glass door. We followed them, my eyes locked at Max and just to be cut when the doctor stopped us outside the operating room.

"K-Katy..." I stutter as she pulled us by the bench and take us in her arms.

"Yea.."

"I'm scared.."

"Me too.." She whispered as we both zoned out already just thinking the events that are already taking place in the operating room.

----------

1 hour..2 hours..3..4..5.6.

After that we lost count..Katy and I haven't move an inch. The others have been here and hasn't had a word with us..They're probably on the waiting room right now. Even though Katy won't tell, I can sense she's very nervous as I can feel her shaking slightly as she holds us..

It feels like the world around us is going in slow motion..As they pass us by, getting some looks from others from time to time..But we didn't care cause me and Katy..We're frozen.Our adrenalines making us numb and all we can think about is Max and what's happening inside those double doors.

Suddenly,For what seems to be like forever, we heard the doors open bringing Katy and I into the real world as we stagger to our feet ignoring a few pains in our bodies for sitting for God knows how long on the bench.

"Is my baby okay.." It came out louder as it used to come out which alarmed Katy grabbing me by my waist.

"Good news or bad news.."

"Either.." Katy said calmly. I'm glad she's o the calmer side cause I'm the total opposite of that right and I swear I could kill this doctor right now if he doesn't speak up about my daughter.

"The good news is...the operation is successful..She got though it."My knees got weak in relief and Katy caught us pulling me up to her seeing tears in her eyes making mines flow too...I'm on top of the world right now knowing my baby made it..

"And the bad one..." Katy whispered immediately pulling us to her wrapping her arms around us as I cry on the crook of her neck as we wait for it.

"She's still on a coma...But there's a great possibility she'll recover fast wigh her new heart..It can already supply enough oxygen for the brain to go back to its normal functionality..." I let out a breath and a small smile form on my face..Everything's turning good, and I'm very thankful for that.

"When can we see her?"

" We'll already transfer her into a private room for her recovery...You can see her in fifteen minutes...Excuse me for a sec."

"Thanks doc." And with that I hear foot steps fading and arms squeezing us tightly with a small squeal making us let out a soft giggle.

"I can't believe she made it...Our daughter made it Cheryl.." She rambled as she continue to squeeze us making it hard to breathe.

"Oh My God, She made it..Che-"

"Babe..C-can't breathe." She instantly let go of us. I wipe my tears as a smile grew on my face.

"She made it!" She squealed jumping on us making me stumble slightly backwards making me giggle.

"Come on, lets go tell the others.." She's too excited as she pulled us..

She heard us..She actually listened to us..I'm very proud of my little girl. So much.. Now all we have to do is wait for her to wake up so I could tell her how much I missed her..and how much I love her.

---------------

"I'm so glad Maxene's getting better now.." Mary said as she walks over to Max looking at her with a huge smile on her face. I let out a huge smile as I glance at Max.

It was really a huge relief on us for Max..She has a new heart, a healthy one, that only means she won't have to go back and forth at hospitals..Just only when her asthma attack is worse.She doesn't have to worry about anything.

I just want her to wake up to reveal the good news to her. That she lived. Honestly, I'm getting all impatient. I really miss her voice talking to us.. And those green eyes which I haven't saw for a while. Her smile which brings out her cute dimples which she got it from us. I just want her to wake up.

"Babe..." I felt a hand on my shoulder snapping me out of my own world and looked up to see Katy with raised brows.

"Are you okay? You got into your own world there..Something on your mind. Want to share." I shrugged and smiled.

"I'm just thinking about Max..God, I miss her.." I said turning my attention back on my daughter who's in a very deep sleep.

"I know, me too...But she'll wake up soon."

"I swear I will spoil her to death when she wakes up and gets better." I said earning a giggle from Katy.

"You can't spoil her that much though or she'll get use to it."

"I don't mind."

"Okay then.." There is just one thing that bothers us.

Will she remember what happened, our argument. Will she wake up happy or will she turn to the opposite side..I just want to make sure that she'll be happy when she wakes up cause we'll start a new. I don't want to remind her of our terrible past.. I won't let that happen...
