• He was standing out in the hallway, running a hand over his face. He had stepped out to have a cigarette and a drink, this was getting to him, he couldn't do anything for her... the little time he had spent with Bai and Bryan had helped him, but it was still hard. He clears his throat, entering the room once again. (NT) -- Jaden, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 5:12pm PST

• -She almost hated having him there - wishing she didn't have to drag him into this, but his reappearence still brings a gentle smile to her face.- I want to go home... (NT) -- Mika, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 5:15pm PST

  ---

• He nods, moving to his chair beside the bed. "I know angel...I wish I could take you there." (NT) -- Jaden, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 5:22pm PST

  ---

• -Flicking off the TV, she reaches for his hand, smothering a sigh and doing a fairly good job of hiding the bad feelings her had about her fate.- They'll know soon. Any minute now, someone'll come tell us what's wrong with me so we can get on with it... (NT) -- Mika, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 5:29pm PST

  ---

• He nods, he could front as well as she could. "Yeah.. yeah they will." He smiles slightly, looking down at her. (NT) -- Mika, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 5:31pm PST

  ---

• And... Then we'll go home, and takes things from there. I don't want to live in the hospital for the rest of my life. -She nods firmly, idly chewing on the inside of her lip.- (NT) -- Mika, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 5:38pm PST

  ---

• He nods deftly, looking out the door, waiting..not looking at her at the moment..she was so pale..so thin.. (NT) -- Jaden, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 5:47pm PST

  ---

• -Holding his hand close to her in both of her much smaller hands, she sighs frustratedly - why couldn't things go well for them?- ...
  *Entering quietly through the door comes an grey-haired, wisened, older man; Mika's original doctor follows close behind...* (NT) -- Mika & Co., Mon, Dec 17 2001, 5:54pm PST

  ---

• He looks up suddenly, his hand squeezing hers lightky, supportivly, though he was silent. (NT) -- Jaden, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 6:10pm PST

  ---

• *Extending a hand to Jaden, he offers a friendly smile of greeting to both. He pulls up another chair and sits, Malkovich fading into the background.* I'm Dr. Kyle Johnson... Head of Oncology for the hospital...
  -Remaining silent, her only movement a tightening of her grip on Jaden's hand.- (NT) -- Dr. Johnson & Mika, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 6:17pm PST

  ---

• He extends his other hand, nodding in greeting. "Jaden King." (NT) -- Jaden, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 6:23pm PST

  ---

• *Speaking kindly, he relays the information slowly.* We have finally managed to conclude that Mikayla is suffering from a form of cancer, known as Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. (NT) -- Dr. Johnson, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 6:39pm PST

  ---

• He swallows hard, looking down for a moment before taking a deep breath, squeezing her hand lightly. "Could you go a little more in depth?" (NT) -- Jaden, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 6:46pm PST

  ---

• -Barely able to comprehend the information, she settles her gaze on Jaden, though her attention remains on the doctor.-
  *He nods, glancing down to the folder in hand.* ALL is a fairly common form of Leukemia. The disease progresses quickly which is why all this may seem sudden. Our best course of action is to begin chemotherapy via IV immediately. (NT) -- Mika & Dr. Johnson, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 6:53pm PST

  ---

• He sighs lightly, closing his eyes for a moment before looking over to Mika, smoothing back her hair. (NT) -- Jaden, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 6:56pm PST

  ---

• *It broke his heart to see such a young couple having to face this sort of obstacle - though he saw cases like this every day.* The survival rate for patients in remission is very promising... And I believe that we have caught the disease before it is too far along. We have other options that we can look into if we find the chemotherapy is not working... Do you have any questions?
  -Unable to trust herself to speak, tears well in her eyes. Never in her life did she suspect... People die from cancer everyday...- (NT) -- Johnson/Mika, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 7:02pm PST

  ---

• He takes another deep breath, urging himself to be the strong one. "How long will she have to stay here?" (NT) -- Jaden, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 7:09pm PST

  ---

• *He nods slowly in thought.* We would prefer to keep her in the hospital until we have a hold on the Leukemia. After that - she should be able to return home, and come into the hospital twice a day for treatment. Once in remission, we will follow-up with short-term high-dosages of chemotherapy and then finally long-term low-doses of chemotherapy. Tentatively, of course - this all depends on how she responds to the treatment. (NT) -- Dr. Johnson, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 7:17pm PST

  ---

• He nods slowly, taking it all in slowly. She was going to hate having to stay there.... "There's no way she can go home?" (NT) -- Jaden, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 7:23pm PST

  ---

• -She frowns briefly, speaking tentatively in agreement with Jaden.- I want to go home...
  *Running a hand through his mussed grey hair, his brow furrows in thought.* Well, we need to keep you in until we know how your body will respond to the chemotherapy. It will be rough, and it is likely that you're only going to feel worse - not better. But if you're close to the hospital, and have a reliable way of getting in here at any time... We can make some considerations. (NT) -- Mika/Johnson, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 7:29pm PST

  ---

• He sighs lightly, turning to speak to Mika, but loud enough for the doc to hear too. "I want you to be comfortable angel, but we also need to be sensible about this." (NT) -- Jaden, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 7:37pm PST

  ---

• -Her brows furrow stubbornly - damned if she was going to die in this hole-in-the-wall that they call a hospital.- As soon as they're done their thing... I want to go home Jaden. (NT) -- Mika, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 7:40pm PST

  ---

• He nods, as long as she wasn't too sick he would push for the same thing. (NT) -- jaden, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 7:47pm PST

  ---

• *He rises slowly.* If you have no more questions, I'll just be on my way. If you need anything - let the nurse know, and she'll page me.
  -Forcing a slight smile, she nods thankfully to they doctor, then turns her attention back to Jaden. (NT) -- Johnson/Mika, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 7:52pm PST

  ---

• He looks down at her, his eyes tender, though he was silent. Gently he lifts her hand to his lips, resting them on on the top of her hand, his eyes sliding shut. (NT) -- Jaden, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 7:58pm PST

  ---

• -Her hand slips around to cup his cheek, the tears now slipping unchecked from her eyes.- I'm sorry, baby... (NT) -- Mika, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 8:03pm PST

  ---

• He shakes his head, not trusting himself to speak, nor look at her at the moment. (NT) -- Jaden, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 8:05pm PST

  ---

• -Managing to slowly pull herself upright in the bed, she takes his face in her hands and presses a kiss to his forehead.- I'll be okay. (NT) -- Mika, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 8:09pm PST

  ---

• He sighs deeply, opening in his eyes. "Your incredable.." He shakes his head lightly. "I'm supposed to be the strong one." (NT) -- Jaden, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 8:12pm PST

  ---

• -She releases his face after brushing her lips across his, and sinks back into her bed.- I couldn't do this without you. (NT) -- Mika, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 8:17pm PST

  ---

• He nods, still holding onto her hand. "I am not gonna leave your side unless you tell me too." (NT) -- Jaden, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 8:26pm PST

  ---

• -She sighs, brushing a hand across her eyes.- When I go home... I want to go to your home, Jay. (NT) -- Mika, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 8:30pm PST

  ---

• He nods once more. "You will...we'll fix up my place.." (NT) -- Jaden, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 8:37pm PST

  ---

• -Allowing her eyes to slide shut, she nods slowly.- I love you. (NT) -- Mika, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 8:41pm PST

  ---

• He watches her silently for a moment. "I love you too...rest now.." (NT) -- Jaden, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 8:44pm PST

  ---

• -If not for herself... She would get better just for him. Her eyes open again, attempting a reassuring, albeit watery, smile.- You should go for a little while... Take a break. I don't want you stuck in here as much as I am. (NT) -- Mika, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 8:48pm PST

  ---

• He shakes his head. "I just went out - went and saw Bryan.." (NT) -- Jaden, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 8:56pm PST

  ---

• -Her brows furrow in confusion, smothering a yawn.- Who's Bryan? (NT) -- Mika, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 8:58pm PST

  ---

• "Bailey and Shaun's kid." (NT) -- Jaden, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 9:11pm PST

  ---

• -She smiles slightly.- Say hi to Bailey for me? (NT) -- Mika, Mon, Dec 17 2001, 9:13pm PST
