4 Day two of Procedures and Family Reunions Part 1

The Next Day...

Raiden's POV:

"Daddy, wake up, come on old man." A female voice says above me while I felt someone shaking me to wake up.

I wake up to Marie's shakes and her comment on 'old man'. She looks like she is about to have a panic attack. I fully wake up on her facial expression and look around for the danger, but I do not see anything dangerous in the room. When I look back to her again she quickly tells me.

"Daddy can you please carry me to the bathroom, quickly. I badly have to go." She didn't need to tell me twice since I got up from the bed, had her climb onto my back and I speed walk her to the restroom with vital machine beside us.

Once I got out of the restroom to give her, her privacy. While I am waiting on her to give me the okay to come back and get her from the restroom. I hear the toilet flush and then some hopping on the other side of the door. I also hear the sink water goes off and a few words in a different language. I assume that those words were swear words on the way that her tone is. I figure that she is having a hard time since she only has one hand to wash.

While she is still in the restroom, Nurse Kylee comes into the room with a tray of food. She looks around the room as if she was looking for someone. She saw me and asks, "Uh, do you know where Callista is?"

Right when she asks me this, Marie opens the restroom door. She is lucky that I had my back to her because I felt her having difficulty climbing back onto my back. I help her get onto my back and I carry her back to her bed. Nurse Kylee didn't say anything; all she did is place the food tray on Marie's table and then leave the room. I am the one that moves the table closer to her bed and remove the lid off the tray for her. I just remember what Rose told me yesterday to tell Marie immediately.

"Oh, I forgot to mention your mother wants me to tell you that she wants us both to come home safe and not to push yourself when we come home today." I tell her, while she is eating her breakfast.

Callista's POV:

"Oh, I forgot to mention your mother wants me to tell you that she wants us both to come home safe and not to push yourself when we come home today." He tells me, while I am eating my breakfast.

A few minutes later my nurse came into my room to change out my old bandages and to take my food tray back. Once she finishes changing my bandages and take my tray away. I ask dad if he could dial mom's number on his phone. He did and gave me the phone. I moved the phone to my ear. Around the second ring mom answered it. (Ro=Rose, C=Callista, J=John).

Ro: Hello Raiden, how is Lisa doing?

C: Hi mom, I am doing fine for right now.

Ro: Lisa is that really you, oh my gosh it is so good to hear your voice, sweetie.

C: Same for me. I miss you, mom and same with my little brother too.

Ro: We miss you too, something awful. But you're in luck for if you want to talk to your little brother. He just came down the stairs, do you want to talk to him.

C: I am glad that I am not the only one. And yes I want to talk to him. Could you possibly hand the phone to him, please?

Ro: (Morning my little man, I have a special someone on the phone, they really want to talk to you). I will hand the phone to him right now. I will talk to you later, okay sweetie, and I love you.

C: I Love you too mom. And thanks.

Ro: No problem, here he is. *Hand phone to little brother*

J: Hello.

C: Good morning sleepy head, do you miss me? I miss you and I can't wait to see you tomorrow.

J: *Squeals loudly* Cal. I miss you so badly, Cal. I wish you awe home wight now. I miss youw hugs that you give me like you do evewy morning, when you awe home and not away with dad.

C: *Chuckles* I know I wish it too, but I have to finish things here. Then I can come home to give you all the hugs, I can before I have to head back out. Anyway were you good for mom, since dad and I last were home? Do remember that you are the man of the house when dad is not there.

J: Uh huh, I wemembew. I have done evewything that was asked of me, I even ate those gross veggies and Cal, when you come home can you tell me stowies on what you and dad did while you guys wewe away, please?

C: Good and I think that is a reasonable award for doing all that. But you know those gross veggies are healthy for you, they will help you grow taller and stronger. When I get home, you are going to have to be very careful with me. I am going to be a little sore. Oh that also reminds me, can you hand the phone back to mom, please? I have a quick question for her. I will talk to you when I get home, okay.

J: (Momma, Cal wants to talk to you again). Alwight, big sistew. I love you and please come home soon. I want to talk to you some mowe when you get home.

C: I love you too little brother.

J: *Hands phone back to mom*

Ro: You wanted to talk to me, Lisa?

C: Yeah, I wanted to make sure that you prepare lots of ice bags for when dad and I get home tomorrow. *Dad laughs and shakes his head in the background* I already know that dad told you what type of procedure it is and what is going to be happening today. *Doktor wheels a cart with a sheet over it into the room * Oh I guess the procedure is going to happen a little sooner than I expected. Doktor just came into the room with the cart. I will talk to you later, I love you mom.

Ro: I will make sure those ice bags come to you right away, when you get home. I love you too, sweetheart. Try and not break your father's hand during our procedure. Bye, sweetie.

C: Bye mom. Also no there are promises. *Mom laughs in the background**Hangs up phone.*

"Here you go dad. Mom had tried to make me promise her not to break your hand during this procedure, but I told her there are no promises." I said while handing the phone back to him.

Raiden's POV:

While Marie was talking to her mother on the phone, I noticed that Doktor just got into the room with the cart that is covered with a sheet and Marie was just finish talking to her mother.

Once Marie closed the phone, she gave the phone to me while telling me, "Here you go dad. Mom had tried to make me promise her not to break your hand during this procedure, but I told her there are no promises."

I just chuckle while I put my phone back into my pants pocket. "While you were in your coma, I took measurements of your normal limbs and started to make the upgrade limbs. Yesterday I had just finished making the final details on your limbs after doing your procedure. All I have to do is connect your nerves to the limbs and you are good to go home, today." Doktor explained to Marie and me.

"Wait what, but I thought that I needed to stay here for another day." Marie questions with confusion in her eyes and voice.

"Ah, that is true but with these limbs I have made for you, Kind, is a little bit different than your fathers. But they are still the same concept. So truly once I get them on there won't be any bad after affects." Doktor said. Both Marie and I were both speechless with this info.

Callista's POV:

"Okay then let's get these babies on. I want to see both mom's and little brother's reaction to dad and I coming home early." I said.

Dad got on my right side and was already holding my hand. "Hey Dok can you possibly do my right leg first since I know that, this one will hurt the most than my left arm, please." I asked him.

Dok looks up to me and smiled, "Sure, Kind."

I breath a sigh of relief. Right after Dok took the sheet off the cart, my eyes widen, same with dad. The limbs almost look like dad's limbs for when we are on missions, but more in the style for a girl like me. I start to brace myself for the coming pain to my right leg. I take a deep breath before I felt Dok attach the first nerve to my leg.

"Holy crap, this pain is as bad as when I got kidnapped." I screamed and I am pretty sure that everyone in the building could hear my scream. But truly like I said to mom, I made no promises on breaking dad's hand.

I truly was a millisecond away from truly breaking dad's hand. But the pain was only a single nerve being connected. I really didn't want to know what the pain in my leg was going to feel like a the end, but I grit and bare it. So about three painful yelps later my right leg is finished. Now it's time to connect the nerves to my left arm. But when Dok connects the first nerve in my left arm I didn't even feel the pain at all. I look to dad with a confuse look. Dad had the same reaction on his face, for he didn't feel my hand finish crushing his hand.

Once all my nerves were finished connecting my new limbs. I look at dad and move my left arm. I grab his right hand and I move my body to the same side he is on. He kept on telling me to go slow and I listen to his advice.

I am standing on my legs in a few minutes, I give dad the signal to move backwards slowly and that is what he did. I slowly move my right leg first so I can get a feel of my new limb. At first it was very awkward and I kept stumbling into dad. But after a few more tries I got the hang of it. So I decide to then let go of dad's hands and try to walk to him on my own like a baby taking its first steps for the first time. The same result happen again, I stumble but I caught myself before I could even fall to the floor. Then I decide that I did enough walking for right now and I walk back to my bed. I then decide that I want to now practice with my new arm too.

"Hey dad, can you move the table somewhat close to my bed so I can try and practice using my new arm, please?" I ask dad.

Dad nods and moves the table somewhat close to my bed. I reach out with my left arm slowly and try to grab the table. At first it hurt a little to move my left arm and even to grab the table but the pain was getting worse. I really did try to hide the pain on my face. Evidently dad saw my pain in my lavender eyes and he grabs my right shoulder.

"Hey, hey if it hurts to move your arm then don't push it, okay." He tells me with gentleness in his voice.

Again I listen to him and my left hand let go of the table and slowly moves it back to my side.

"So it seems that the only limb that is working for you is your right leg. But if you keep on practicing with your left arm, a couple of minutes a day. By the eleventh day the pain will stop completely hurting." Doktor suggests and I nod my head.

"Hey Dok, can you grab a wheelchair for me to wheel Marie out." Dad asked Dok. He went into the hallway, asks Kylee to go get a wheelchair for me.

"This is so going to surprise both mom and little bro. When they find out that we are coming home, today." I said to dad with a big smile on my face. He nods his head in agreement.

Dad starts to grab all of our stuff and stuffed them into their proper gym bag. He then put our gym bags on his shoulder and hands me a blanket for me to cover my legs with, once my nurse came back with the wheelchair. I slowly lifted myself off the bed and slowly walk to the wheelchair. Dad walks behind me, with his arms out a little to make sure that I wouldn't fall. But once I slowly sit down on the wheelchair, he put his arms down and moves to get behind me.

As I got situated on the wheelchair and had the blanket on my legs, dad starts moving the wheelchair out of my room.
