Chapter Six

Monica walked up to the Spencer�s door and knocked. Laura opened greeting her
with a smile. �Monica Reed. Come in. We have been expecting you.� Laura said
with a smile.

Monica could tell Laura wasn�t sure about her at all. She was trying to do what
was best for Lucky and nothing else. Monica smiled at her and said, �Mrs.
Spencer, relax. I�m here to help.�

�I�m sorry it�s not you. This whole thing has been hard on all of us. I don�t
know who is bothered more Lucky, Luke or me.� Laura said sadly.

�This isn�t easy for anyone. I�m going to help all of you. I know from the
doctors that you and Mr. Spencer still hope that Lucky will see again. I�m not
telling you to give that hope up, but you might want to think about what if
things don�t change. Lucky is going to need to live either way and he is going
to need help,� Monica said.

�I won�t say that to Luke. He will never give up hope. That might be the only
think keeping him together,� Laura said. �I�ll take you to Lucky. He�s in his
room.�

Monica followed thinking, �Don�t worry Luke will get through this. That is we
are here.� She asked Laura to let her meet Lucky alone. She walked in and saw
him sitting in the dark listening to soft jazz music. Turning on the lights,
Monica crossed the room and sat on the edge of the bed.

�You must be from the hospital.� Lucky said tilting his head a little to the
right.

�How did you?� Monica asked him.

�I know my mother�s perfume and she told me about what time you were coming.
The clock just struck one not long before the door bell rang.� Lucky said with a
sly smile.

�That�s good you�re learning to use your other senses to replace the one you
lost,� she said.

�What good does that do me? I�m still blind.� Lucky said getting a cold look on
his face.

�You don�t need your eyes to see. You can do that with sounds, smell and touch.
I�m going to show you a world that you never even knew was there.� Monica said
pulling him to his feet.


The next day Tess walked into General Hospital looking for Dr. Monica
Quartermaine. She walked up to the nurse�s desk and asked. �I have an
appointment with a Dr. Monica Quartermaine. Can you page her for me?� Tess
asked Amy.

�Sure, When she calls who can I tell her is here?� Amy asked.

�Tess Johnson.� she replied.

While Tess was waiting for Monica to call. Audrey Hardy walked up to the desk.
�Amy! How many times have I told you these reports are to be done on Mondays
not three days later. Your work is getting worse.� Audrey yelled. Amy was about to
speak when Monica arrived.

�Audrey. I have been looking for you. I will be hiring someone to help with the
paper work. It will give you more time with the nurses and lighten their load
as well,� Monica said.

�Its about time. If Steve was still here none of this would have happened.�
Audrey said walking away.

�At least she didn�t cut down Lucky. Monica, I don�t know how long me or Bobbie
can hold back telling her off. Lizzie�s death wasn�t his fault and she has been
taking her anger out on him and us.� Amy said slamming the clipboard down.

�I know Amy. Please give her more time. She's been through a lot.� Monica said.

�What about Lucky? He still sits at that house, doing nothing. Luke and Laura
are still calling every doctor on the planet to see if they can help get his
eyes back. I�m tired of giving her time.� Amy said walking away to answer the
phone.

�I�m sorry you had hear all that.� Monica said turning to Tess.

�That�s all right. Is there anything I do?� Tess asked her.

�No. Not unless you can turn back time and bring back a young girl and give a
young man back his eyes.� Monica said sadly.

�Sorry.� Tess said.

�I am too. I didn�t know Lizzie Webber but Lucky is a friend of my daughters
and I hate to see him hurting like this. Amy is right. Audrey needs to stop blaming
him for her granddaughter�s death.

�Let�s go my office. We�ll go over your duties there.� Monica said heading down
the hall.
