One More Day pt. 2

"Rachael...what happened? Are you okay?" Peter asks concerned.

"Fine, how's May?" Rachael asks running over to him.

"Unchanged. Still no brain activity, Dr. Fine is doing everything he can to stall, but unless we can provide insurance or ability to pay there is nothing he can do but move her to the charity ward." Peter sighs. "I can't stand it, Rachael. I can't stand that she was there for me when I was growing up, but I can't be there for her when she needs me."

"It's not your fault, tiger. There is nothing you can do." Rachael sighs.

"I'm assuming your dad said no." Peter sighs. Rachael nods looking down. "The problem is we don't have any money, and we need to get some fast. So I'll go out and get it, one way or another."

"Peter, no...you can't..." Rachael says softly.

"It's May, Rachael. I'll do whatever is necessary to save her life. I'm already a wanted criminal, so what's the difference? I'd sell my soul if I thought it would help her." Peter says angrily.

"That may not be necessary." A familiar male voice says from behind them as they turn towards him.

"Happy? What are you-" Peter questions.

"It's been brought to my attention that my "cousin" May Morgan, from Blackpool, has been admitted into this hospital." Happy sighs not wanting to show that he actually wanted to help, keeping his I-Don't-Want-To-Be-Here facade going. "I got here as soon as I heard the news. She will, of course only receive the finest care."

"That may be a problem sir, you see-" The doctor says walking back over to them with a nurse.

"My personal account has just been deposited over two million dollars. I think this will cover everything." Happy says smugly sticking a check in the man's face.

"I...of course." The doctor says in shock. "Nurse, would you escort Mr. ..."

"Hogan."

"-Mr. Hogan to accounting?" The doctor says inspecting the check.

"Of course! Right this way sir." The nurse smiles leading Happy away.

"I'm not sure how you two managed to pull that off, but...well done." The doctor says patting Peter on the back.

"Thanks though I know I won't be able to go back a second time...for anything..." Rachael says.

"Not necessary, we can make her last days as comfortable as-" The doctor says calmly.

"They're not her last days, we've got her stabilized, so now I can..." Peter says his anger building up.

"Son, listen to me..." The doctor sighs. "You have to accept the facts, in her condition. There's no coming back. The hardest part of my job is making family members understand that there is nothing more anyone can do, that their loved ones are going to die, but-"

"Sorry, but I don't buy it." Peter says.

"Son, there's nothing humanly possible to stop her from dying." The doctor says.
