One Hectic Day
Georgie sighs as she sits on her bed. Olive and Cal were at school. Ben and Grace were following a calling and Michaela was working on a case, and Georgie had the day off to research. She didn't know yet just how crazy today would be.
That is until a rock was thrown through her bedroom window. Which freaked Georgie out and scared her. So she calls Michaela quickly only trusting her cop friend to help her figure this out
Drea quickly trails behind Michaela as they walk up to Georgie's house. The brunette was starving; she hadn't eaten in quite a few days due to helping Michaela with finding the meth heads. That is until their case got turned to investigate Georgie's house after her house had been broken into by who she could only suppose was the Xer's.
……..
Ben was terrified his wife had gone into labor at seven months pregnant and the doctor said it looked bad. They said the chances were not good for both to survive, and gave him a choice between his beloved wife or the baby. Ben knew what Grace would want, but he couldn't lose her, not when he had just got her back.
It started as a shared calling between them and then Adrien had once again driven them to a point of no return. Adrien was ruining his life first by trying to corrupt his daughter then accidentally setting off his wife. And now the stupid doctor who was supposed to help them was stuck in traffic.
"Ben, what are you doing here? What's wrong with Grace." a familiar voice he knew as Zeke says his voice was quiet and somewhat alarmed.
"She's in preterm labor and they left me with the hardest choice in the world. Something is wrong with Grace placenta and giving birth puts her at extreme risk of not pulling through. The experienced doctor isn't here yet, and my life is falling apart. " Ben ranted before a young woman walked in with a nurse behind her.
"There's some good news. I found a surgeon who knows and has done the surgery once before. If we do the surgery now, maybe both will be able to live." The nurse said a little hope in her voice as the young woman in front of him offered a reassuring smile.
"Are you sure she knows how to do this? She looks rather young." Ben told the nurse and he could see the young surgeon's face fall, but she also gave an eyeroll.
"She graduated top of her class and has experience. Plus wouldn't you rather she try than having both your wife and child die?" The nurse asks and Ben sighs reluctantly nodding.
"Do your thing Dr…" Ben started before he realized he didn't know the surgeon's name. The woman just smiled again, giving Ben a reassuring look.
"Mikami." She supplies for him and both Zeke and Ben look at her in confusion, that was Michaela's best friend's last name. There was a slight awkward silence. That is until the doctor spoke up. "Get her prepped. I'm going to make sure my team is ready and there's a place open in NICU. Don't worry Mr. Stone I'm going to everything in my power to make sure your wife and baby will make it through." The woman says before briskly walking out to get ready for the surgery.
"Is it me being out of my mind or does she have the exact last name of my sister's teammate?" Ben questions Zeke and Zeke looks at his soon to be brother in law.
"Yep, they have to be related, especially since Mikami isn't exactly a common name. If I had to say she's probably the younger sister or cousin of Drea. Who she never mentioned before Zeke says before a whole crew of people come in.
"We're going to take her in now it will take a little while to do, but I promise as soon as we're done I will come and get you. I recommend you call any family at this time and tell them what's going on." The Doctor says and Ben and Zeke nod heading to the waiting room leaving the woman and her team to work.
"I'll call Georgie. " Ben says and Zeke nods a understanding as he grabs his own smartphone
"I'll call Mick." Zeke told Ben and they called their mini family they didn't expect the two to be together though.
………
Georgie, Michaela and Drea carpooled to the hospital together at Mick's brother's request. When they all heard Grace and the baby were in surgery they knew it was bad. Not to mention it sounded like Ben would kill someone soon.
In the waiting room Georgie tried not to pace the floor after hours of waiting. "How long is this procedure supposed to take? Do you think everything is okay?" Georgie asks and Drea nods.
"Don't worry I have a friend who was into medical stuff when we were younger and she said it takes a while to do surgeries right. Fortunately no news is good news. I'm sure they'll be fine." Drea says and Ben and Zeke just look at Drea sort of connecting the dots. "Georgie calm down, it'll all be fine." Drea says and Georgie nods slowly.
A few minutes later Ben's good friend and confidant came in with the kids who immediately came over to Georgie. Right then a nurse comes in. "Stone family!" She called and Ben immediately stood going over to the nurse.
"How is my wife?" He asks the other coming up behind him. The nurse just looks down for a minute making Ben's heart sink, but then she looks back up with a smile.
"She's doing fine, so is your child. Dr. Mikami is making sure of that. Which is the reason why she's not telling you this." The nurse says and Ben smiles happily, so does the rest of the family.
"Can we go see her?" Ben questions and the nurse quickly looks at the crowd of people.
"Of course, but I recommend only four at the time. She is still a bit out of it from the pain medication and the doctor still has some tests to run through to make sure everything is okay. Ben nods in understanding trying to decide who else should go with him.
"Come on, kids , let 's go see mom." Ben says, but Cal refuses to move for a minute, that is until Georgie comes over to him. Ben and Michaela gave a look at one another having a silent conversation before nodding.
"Kids, do you want Georgie to come with us?" Ben questions and the kids nod
"Are you sure I'm not technically family shouldn't Mick to go first?" Georgie asks and Michaela shakes her head no.
"We'll still be able to see her plus Zeke wants to see his father who is also here apparently. So take your time." Michaela says with a slight grin and Georgie nods as the nurse starts leading them to Grace's room.
……..
Grace smiled at seeing her family come into the room. She was very sore from whatever the surgeon did, but was happy to know both she and her baby were okay. "Hi hon, how are you feeling?" Ben asks pulling up a chair next to his wife meanwhile the two children just stood at either side of Georgie looking at their mother who thankfully looked fine.
"I'm sore, but otherwise fine, just super glad the baby is okay." Grace says and Ben nods Grace then looks over to the kids who were standing by Georgie Grace just motions for them to come closer.
"You really scared us." Olive says and Grace nods she knew Olive had a date with TJ, the fine boy who was also on flight 828 today, she probably got the call right when this started.
"I know Ol, but I'm okay and so is the baby." Grace reassures as the doctor comes back in to check on them. Checking her vitals and looking at the incision they had made to make sure it wasn't getting infected.
"This will heal up nicely'' she mutters and Grace nods looking at the doctor as did the others.
"So doc, how long until I can take my wife and baby home." Ben asks Michi who just looks at her records, and smiles a little.
"We would like to keep your wife here for another few days. The child on the other hand will have to stay here for at least another month since it's not fully developed yet. We usually release healthy babies around week thirty six of the actual pregnancy unless there's complications." The kind doctor told them and Ben nodded.
"Are you going to be watching over my baby?" Grace asks and Michi silently shakes her head no.
"Ma'am, I'm a surgeon. Most of my life here is in surgeries or prepping for them. I don't do NICU trips often unless it's something like this. But I reassure you I'll have one of the best doctors who work in that unit take care of her." The doctor says Grace shook her head.
She didn't know if it was because of the doctor possibly being related to Drea or just because she was calm and seemed trustworthy but she wanted this doctor to watch over her child. "Are you sure there isn't any way you can watch over her? I don't trust them easily.
"I'm not qualified ma'am. I do have a friend who is though. We work together often. I'll call her in and introduce you if you still don't feel comfortable. I might be able to talk to my boss and see if I can oversee the NICU for learning experience. Until then I can try and stay in there as much as possible. Since I'm technically off the clock. I just need to change and grab some food otherwise my brother might get me I promise we'll give your baby the best care." Michi says and Grace nods in understanding watching the young doctor leave.
And Drea come in quickly, "Georgie we need you there's a problem with Zeke and Mick asked for you." Drea says and Georgie sighs looking at Grace.
"Alright lead the way. Olive, do you want TJ to come in?" Georgie asks and the girl nods. Georgie just nods ready for whatever was coming next.
