Chapter 11: Blood for Blood

“Renton! Renton! Renton! Please don’t die on me! Please wake up! PLEASE!” A tearful and panicked Eureka had thrown herself upon Renton, clutching him tightly.

“Eureka, please get off him so I can try to treat him,” begged the Doc, who was standing behind her, “He’s badly injured and if you don’t let me treat him soon, he will die. Anemone, could you?” She and Dominic were standing off to one side of the room out of the way.

Anemone, walked up to Eureka, and put her arms around her, “Come on Eureka, if it means that much to you to stay in here with Renton then at least come stand by Dominic and me, out of the way.” Anemone tapped her com badge, “Anemone, to the Hornet, are the kids listening to the coms still?”

“Yeah they’re gathered around the speaker set,” said a Gidget over the com, “why, what is going on, did you get to them in time?”

“Yeah they rescued Renton and me,” said Eureka, she paused a moment, “but Renton is badly hurt and he might not make it, Gidget, I’m so scared.”

“Let the doctor do his work, Renton is a fighter and he won’t give up that easily, I have to deal with Charles now, see you in a while, Gidget out.”

“I thought Charles was dead,” said Eureka. Just then, Holland, Talho, Sumner, Ruri, Eli and Moishe came in.

“She is referring to our baby boy,” said Talho, “remember. Doctor how is he? Will he pull through?”

“He has lost much blood and unless we can get him back to the ship fast he won’t make it with the few transfusion packets I have here. Sir I have to do an emergency transport,” he said looking at Eli.

Holland saw the look of fear and worry on Eureka’s face as Anemone desperately tried to comfort her after a few seconds of deep thought he stepped forward. “Doc, I weigh 175 lbs, Renton once gave me some of his blood when I needed a transfusion, so I know we have the same blood type. With your permission Eureka, I would like to repay the favor.”

"Oh, thank you Holland!" exclaimed Eureka giving Holland a big hug, she then turned and faced the Doctor. "Please doctor, let Holland help you."

“Captain, this is a huge risk, I can’t allow it,” stated the Doc, “G-d only knows if he has any pathogens in his system. Besides it goes against Starfleet Medical protocol!”

“Doc this is true; however, the protocol clearly states that if a life is at stake the rule is void. Besides, you can administer anti-bacterial and anti-viral medications once we get back to the Hornet. Holland, please take a seat in this chair. Eureka, I will let you stay back here if you can stay out of the Doc’s way, and Talho, if you wish you can also sit back here during the transfusion.”

“Yeah, I can do that,” said Eureka, “by the way what is your name sir?” She took a seat next to the table.

“The name is Eli Rosen, Captain of the Federation Starship Hornet. This is Moishe, my cat.”
Moishe hopped up into Eureka’s shoulder, “It is a pleasure to finally meet you Eureka, your boy friend Renton is in good hands,” and her licked her face.

“You talk?”

“Yeah, I have been able to for a long time now.”

“Moishe, there will be a time and a place. We need to get back. The rest of you take your seats.” Within few minutes, they were in the air and on their way back to the Hornet. During the trip, Holland and Talho remained in the back to comfort Eureka, and Anemone and Dominic joined them shortly after take off.

Meanwhile, Sumner and Ruri were getting restless just sitting around doing nothing; Ruri spoke up first. “Eli is there anything we can do to help?”

“Of course, could one of you operate the coms and notify them that we are inbound with one medical emergency and could the other check on Renton.”

“Why don’t you go check on Renton, Sumner; I will handle the coms.”

“Gee you always do the fun stuff,” laughed Sumner, as he walked towards the back.

“St. Lawrence to USS Hornet, please come in.”

“This is the Hornet, Commander Rosen speaking,” said Anna’s voice over the com, “we have been waiting on you all to return. What is your status?”

Ruri, looked back at Sumner who was walking back to the cockpit.

“We have one critically injured but stable passenger, so have additional medical staff ready,” said Sumner.

“Affirmative, Kolevis has you clear to land in segment one, see you shortly. ”

“We look forward to it, and please for now, keep the kids out of sickbay for now, St. Lawrence out.”

“Roger, Hornet out.”

Upon landing, Renton was rushed to sickbay, where he was given one more transfusion. Eureka, Talho, Anemone, Dominic and a groggy Holland accompanied him. Mean while Eli and Moishe went back to their posts and Anna, Ruri, and Sumner went to talk to the kids in the mess hall.

When they got there all three of them were sitting around a table in tears, though Maurice was trying to cheer up his younger siblings. “Is papa going to be all right, what about mama, is she all right?”

“Your mama is just fine,” said Ruri, as she comforted the kids, “ it was her and Holland that saved your papa.”

“Where is everyone?” asked Maeter, trying to fight back the tears.

“They are setting up a room for the three of you as well as you mama and papa to move into eventually. For now Maeter, Anemone and Dominic are going to look after you, and Holland and Talho will take care of your brothers. We have put your stuff in their rooms.”

“I want to stay with mama and papa,” stammered Linck.

“The doctor will only allow your mama to stay with Renton,” said Anna, “however, if you can promise us you will do exactly what we tell you to do, we will take you to see them.” With that, the six of them walked out of the mess hall.

“I don’t mind you staying here Eureka,” said Doc, “but where are you going to sleep? I can’t let you sleep on the medical beds.” Eureka was standing next to the bed Renton lay in and had Anemone and Dominic at her side.

“I don’t care if I have to sleep on the floor in this rag! I’m not leaving Renton’s side!”

“Wow, that’s dedication,” commented Dominic, Anemone stood in silent thought.

Just then, six people entered sickbay. “Well, you won’t have to sleep in that rag much longer and here is a sleeping bag to use for tonight. I am sorry, we have not met I am Commander Anna Rosen, Eli’s spouse and second in command on the Hornet. We will have uniforms for you and Renton tomorrow. Doc, as long as she does not get in your way, let her stay her with Renton. We will explain and make it up to you later.”

“Very well, but please stay out of the way unless I ask for your help Eureka, understand?”

Eureka nodded a confirmation.

“Now, I have some people,” said Ruri, “who have been waiting to see you. Come on out kids.”

“Maurice, Maeter, Linck it is so good to see you three again, you all have grown so much since I last saw you. Axel said you were well behaved while you lived with him. I am so proud of you three, and I know your papa will be happy to see you as well when he wakes up,” Eureka said tearfully.

“Mama, we missed you and Papa,” said Maeter.

“We missed you too.”

“Promise you and papa will never leave us like that again,” said Maurice.

“I promise, and I’m sure your father will also make that promise when he wakes up.”

“Is papa going to be all right?” asked Linck.

“Your papa will be just fine,” said Doc, “didn’t I tell you that before we left to get your mama and papa?” The kids nodded in agreement. “I never go back on my word, and that is a promise.”

As Eureka got to her feet, she noticed Anemone rubbing her forehead. “Anemone, are you all right, you don’t look well.”

On hearing this Dominic looked down at Anemone, “What’s wrong?”

“It just a headache, lets go back to our quarters and call it a day, come on Maeter you are staying with us tonight,” said Anemone, managing a weak smile.

“I can give you something for that,” said Doc.

“No, I have some of my own medication still, I will take it if I need it, thank you though.”

“Come on boys,” said Sumner, “your mama needs to get some sleep and so do you.”

Then it was just Anna, Doc, Eureka and Renton in sickbay. “You must be hungry Eureka, can I get you something to eat and drink?” asked Anna.

“Yes, I would love something to eat.”

Anna left the room for a bit, while the Doc moved Renton to one of the observation beds. Eureka rolled out the sleeping bag next to Renton’s bed, on the other side was a wall.

Anna came back into the room with a steaming bowl of soup and a tall glass of milk. “Here this should help, it is Matzo ball soup. The balls are bread dumplings and its very good. In addition, this glass of milk should help you get some rest; you look like you need it. I have to go now, sleep well.”

“Thank you Anna, and you sleep well too.” Eureka sat down on her sleeping bag and started to eat her soup, which she found to be quite tasty.

“Eureka,” said Doc, “I am going to shut down now, if you need me, just ask the computer to activate the EMH, all right? Also, when you are ready to go to sleep just ask the computer to dim the lights. Pleasant dreams.”

“You too, and thank you Doctor.”

“Please call me Doc and you don’t need to thank me, it’s my job.” With that, the Doctor disappeared around the corner and deactivated.

Eureka continued eating the soup and after finishing it, she drank the glass of milk dry. She then put her dishes in the corner above the sleeping bag and wriggled into the sleeping bag, careful not to bruise her wings, and fell asleep.

Later that night Eureka awoke with a start, she felt a severe pain but it was not her in pain. She concentrated her thoughts and saw in her head Anemone tossing in turning in her bed, under a great deal of pain. “Anemone!” She got up and started running around sickbay. “ Computer lights on.” The lights flickered on. “Doc? Doc? Where are you, I need your help, please Doc? Wait what was it he said to me? If I need help, I should activate... Computer activate the EMH!”

“Please state the nature of the medical emergency, oh its you Eureka, I have been monitoring Renton and he is fine, so why did you activate me?”

“It’s Anemone, she’s in terrible pain.”

Before Doc could say anything a call came in. “Maeter to sickbay, Anemone needs help, Dominic says she isn’t feeling well.”

“Tell Dominic I’m on my way, and ask him to show you where Anemone’s medicines are, I will need to see them when I get there. I’m proud of you Maeter, you did good. Tell Dominic I’m on my way, and get what I asked for.”

“Yes Doc, and I will tell him.”

Doc gathered up some medical equipment and threw it in a kit. “Eureka, use the computer on my desk to contact Miriam Rosen, she’s Eli’s sister. Tell her to go to the Sorel quarters and wait till I get there.”

Eureka nodded, and as the Doc ran out with a medkit, Eureka ran into the office and took a seat at the desk, turning on the computer display as she did.
