c-section. I let out a deep breath as I lifted the baby out and a loud cry came from her.
“It’s a girl.” I handed the baby to Corinne.
Mason looked at me with a smile as I prepped Katelynn for closure.
“What’s going on?” Dr. Carter, the OB resident, asked as he came running in while I was sewing Katelynn up.
“You’re a little late.”
“We had an emergency upstairs. You performed an emergency c-section down here?”
“I didn’t have a choice. She had placental abruption, and the baby was losing oxygen fast. I had no time to get her upstairs.”
“Are you even qualified?” he asked in a snotty tone.
“I’m more than qualified.”
“I can take over,” he spoke as he held out his hand.
“Step away from my patient, Dr. Carter. I will finish this and then you can take her upstairs.”
“I’m reporting this, Dr. Davis. You’ll be in serious trouble.”
“Go ahead. I really don’t care.” I shot him a look. “The only thing I care about is that I saved that mother and her child.”
As soon as I finished with Katelynn and they started to wheel her out of the room, she grabbed my hand.
“Thank you, Dr. Davis. Thank you for saving my baby.”
“You’re welcome. Congratulations.” I smiled.
I removed my gown, and Mason followed me out into the hallway.
“You did amazing in there,” he said. “I didn’t know you could do surgery?”
“Long story.” I rubbed the back of my neck. “You were really good with her.”
“She needed me since her husband was out of town.” He smirked. “Just another day on the job. We good?” he asked.
“We’re good. By the way, your brother and Ruby are in room six.” I gave him a small smile as I patted his chest and walked away.
Holding that scalpel in my hand brought back the feelings I’d missed so much.

“Why?” I asked as she walked away from me.
I headed down to room six and when I walked in, Ruby’s eye lit up.
“Uncle Mason!”
“Hey, bro. What are you doing here?” Nathan asked.
“Hey, Ruby. Still not feeling well?” I asked as I kissed her forehead. “Hey, bro.”
“No. But Sara is taking good care of me.”
“Speaking of Sara. We haven’t seen her in a long time,” Nathan spoke with irritation. “I would like to know what’s going on with Ruby.”
“She just performed an emergency c-section on a pregnant woman I pulled out of a fire.”
“Oh. Are the woman and child okay?”
“They’re fine.”
“I didn’t know Sara could do that.”
“I didn’t either.”
“Didn’t know what?” Sara asked as she walked in the room.
“Congratulations on saving that baby, Dr. Davis.” Nathan grinned.
“Thank you, Nathan. As for Ruby, she has a pretty bad case of strep throat. I’ll prescribe some medication for her and order her to eat all the popsicles she wants.” I gave her a wink.
“Yay!” I love popsicles.
“Thanks, Sara. I appreciate it,” Nathan spoke as he gave me a hug.
“I better get going. I’m glad you’re on the mend, Ruby.” I gave her a high-five.
“Thanks, Uncle Mason.”
“I’ll see you later, bro. And I’ll see you tomorrow night,” I spoke to Sara.
I’d just gotten back to the station when Bobbie walked up to me.
“Hey, how is that pregnant woman?” he asked.
“Good. Sara had to do an emergency c-section in the ER. Something about a placental abruption.”
“Oh wow. Is the baby okay?”
“Yeah. She seems to be doing fine,” I spoke as I grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge.
“I forgot to tell you earlier. Some guy was here looking for you.”
“Who was it?”
“Older guy. I told him you were with your brother and he said he’ll come back another time.”
“That’s weird. I wonder why he didn’t stay.”
“I don’t know, man. We’re ordering chicken for lunch. Are you in?”
“Yeah. Get me the usual. I have a lot of paperwork to do and then we’re going to do a drill.”
“Gotcha, boss. I’ll let you know when the food is here.”
I took a seat at my desk and leaned back in my chair. Why would Jack leave like that? It would have been the perfect opportunity for him to meet Elijah. I didn’t give it another thought and started my paperwork.
The next night after my shift ended, I grabbed my bag and headed home. The moment I walked through the door, my phone rang, and it was Nathan calling.
“Hey, bro,” I answered as I gave a wave to Sara who was sitting on the couch.
“Hey. I just left Rudy’s, and I met your friend, Jack.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. He came up to me and asked if I was your brother.
