Chapter 5.
Mr. Davenport's POV.
"You doing ok?" I asked as my son was getting prepped for surgery.
"What do you think? I'm about to get a tube jammed into my neck. I'm living the dream." He muttered sarcastically.
"Chase, it'll be ok. Promise." I explained as I rubbed his shoulder.
He nodded and sighed before saying.
"The worst part is, they can't put me to sleep to do it because of the whole reason I'm getting it in the first place."
"I know. And I'm sorry." I sighed.
"I'm so tired." He whined.
"I know. But please, for the sake of everyone's nerves, don't go to sleep." I explained with a smile.
Chase just smiled before Dr. Jackson came in.
"Is he ready?"
"I think so. You ready, Chase?"
"I'm as ready as I'll ever be." He sighed before he was wheeled to the operating room.
I walked up go Dr. Jackson while he was going to the operating room.
"So my son will be ok?"
"Most definitely. It depends on how this operation goes." He explained before walking behind the large doors where the surgery would take place.
I sat down, waiting for it to be finished.
Chase's POV.
I was literally shaking in fear as I was wheeled into the operating room. I'm terrified of ALL surgeries, but I had to be awake for this one and, well, it makes me shudder just thinking about it. I closed my eyes, not wanting to see this. Then I heard footsteps and a calm voice that I immediately recognized as Dr. Jackson's.
"Chase? You need to relax. You're gonna be alright."
Then I felt someone stick a needle in my arm, and I started calming down.
"There you go. Just stay relaxed." I heard a female say.
"Who are you?" I asked the female nurse who was starting to numb my neck.
"My name is Joanna. You can't talk anymore, hun, it'll mess up the whole thing." She explained before I sort of felt my body being moved into a different position and my chin getting propped up by something.
I shut the rest of the thing out and the next thing I knew, I was back in my room.
"Hey Chase." I heard my dad say before asking how it went.
"It went alright. I have been assigned to be his personal nurse along with helping anyone who needs to know how to take care of the tube so nothing happens." Joanna explained with a smile.
She was very young and looked to be only a few years older then Adam, she had light brown hair and blue eyes and was extremely pretty. She handed me a pen and notebook.
"Since you can't talk for a few days, you need to communicate with that. Your father told me you know sign language though." She explained as she then signed.
'How are you feeling?'
Then I signed back.
'I am feeling ok, but that may be because I'm still numb.'
She then put a IV in my arm and explained that it was a feeding tube since I couldn't swallow for awhile either and hooked me up to a cannula before leaving.
"Are you tired?" I heard Mr. Davenport ask.
I signed back the answer, but I'm pretty sure he knew.
'VERY'.
"Go to sleep, Chase." He sighed as he ruffled my hair.
I nodded, which was hard due to the tube, and closed my eyes, slowly drifting off to sleep.
