The Soldier and the Presidents Daughter

Alexis Knight is a 24-year-old doctor who graduated medical school at the top of her class. She strives to help others and takes after her big brother who is an Army Medic. Alexis is young for a doctor; she has always been ahead in school. Graduating high school at 15; college at 19; medical school at 23. However, she isn’t just any doctor or girl, she is the President of the United States daughter. Her father is President Liam Knight. Alexis has proven herself to be one of the best young doctors in the state in just a year. She works at General Astrid Memorial Hospital as a trauma doctor. Her best friend's name is Kailey Waters who is a trauma nurse at the same hospital. Running into the emergency bay Kailey yells, “Doctor Knight, we have incoming! 2 soldiers being brought from overseas, wounded from a bombing.” “Okay everybody! We need two trauma bays cleared and ready for anything, we got two injured soldiers coming in. Kailey, who are the soldiers?” “The first soldier is Staff Sergeant Ethan Jones, TBI (traumatic brain injury), and 3rd degree burns to his left arm. The second soldier is Specialist Victor Keller, severe burns on the left side of his body, shrapnel penetrating his stomach.” she says. As everyone is running getting ready for the chopper to arrive, I look at Kailey and ask, “Who told you they were coming here?” Kailey says, “Chief of staff at the White House called and asked that they come here to be treated by the best, which is you.” I smile and nod to get myself ready to handle two wounded soldiers who were fighting for our country. The medivac is almost here, “Okay. Kailey you are with me. Listen up, the soldiers are coming in with severe burns. We need to make sure to have enough wraps to bandage them up. Head Nurse- I need you to call and get me an OR available just in case the one with shrapnel needs it. Alright everybody, let's get to work and save some lives!” Everyone scatters to their positions while Alexis and Kailey head up to the helipad. Once it arrives the soldiers are brought to Alexis with updated vitals and updates on conditions. Only one soldier, Ethan Jones, is conscious. His vitals are good, and he has motor function in his limbs. The other Victor Keller was sedated for transport and has had no complications. He is stable for now. Alexis and Kailey jump into action once they get them downstairs. They both take Victor Keller as he has shrapnel puncturing his body. After removing the shrapnel from his body and bandaging him up to make sure he’s stable. Alexis and Kailey get ready to change shifts for their girl’s night out. “Kailey is Jacob coming out with us tonight?” Alexis asks. Jacob Schmidt is a guy we met our freshman year in college, and he has been our best friend ever since. He is a head technical analyst who works for World Renown Technologies. “He said he would join us at your house to get ready to go to the club.” Kailey says. We meet up and get ready for Club Wild; the hottest club in Maryland. “You ladies look smoking hot!” Says Jacob. We giggle and say, “you don’t look too bad yourself, hot stuff.” We all laugh and get into my black SUV my father sent. My dad can be very protective over me, and it was even worse when I was a teenager. But now that I’m a doctor he lets me have a little bit more freedom if I have security and one of the SUVs with me to transport me wherever I need to go. It’s not ideal but it’s a deal for freedom. After a 30-minute drive we arrived at Club Wild. As we are being escorted out of the SUV we latch onto Jacob and walk to the security bouncer. “Hey Benny!” Alexis says. “Hey Lex, as always your VIP booth is ready for you.” “Thanks Benny, see you inside later.” And we are off to our booth to get settled and to get drinks to start. Alexis POV: Many shots of tequila and wine later, we head to the dance floor. We’ve been dancing for about an hour with multiple shots when I feel hands grab my waist and start moving with my movements. I turn around and see this sexy man who looks like he has been carved by the Gods themselves. He is tan with muscles, he has short black hair, round ice-colored eyes, and the most perfect face shape I have ever seen. His lips look like candy, and I just want to lick them. “Like what you see beautiful?” He caught me staring and I just smiled and nodded. He laughs and asks, “will you dance with me?” I say “yes, I’d love to.” We seem to get steamy on the dance floor when Kailey notices and smiles. The handsome stranger who has his hands on my waist is moving perfectly with me. I fit perfectly up against his body. Even though he is wearing too many clothes. I can’t help but wonder what’s under them. Does he have tattoos? Does he really have an 8-pack? Why does he have to be so sexy? We don’t talk much about each other, but we do dance and stare deep into each other’s eyes. I can’t help but get lost in them. For the first time in a long time I feel like I have a connection with this perfect stranger in front of me. He makes me feel tingles when he touches me on my waist. While looking in his eyes I get lost in the beauty of them. He makes me laugh all night long and I don’t want this night to end. Many hours later about 2 AM the next morning we say our goodbyes and I head home to the White House. Kailey looks at me as I smile looking out the window. “You like him, don’t you?” I look over and see Kailey and Jacob looking at me with smiles and I can’t help but smile. “He was the perfect gentleman and dance partner; I wonder if I will see him again.” We all laugh, and Jacob says, “well she finally likes someone and doesn’t know his name or his number” I turn and roll my eyes. We arrive back at the White House and I ask, “do you guys want to stay over?” They both nod and we walk in the side entrance to my suite. My father isn’t comfortable letting me live on my own so he had me an apartment made so I could have my own space with privacy and plenty of security. I have what any other apartment would have: a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, living room and office. We go inside, and I ask the staff to bring us some pizzas for the drunken party of 3 who need food. We all sit in the living room after taking showers and getting in our pajamas. Waiting patiently for our food to arrive. I can’t help but daydream about the guy who stole my heart. He was perfect and he made me laugh. I am not sure how old he was but he was older than me by the way he was talking and he looked like a professional of some kind. “Knock knock” I look and Jacob is getting up to get the pizzas while Kailey and I walk to get plates and drinks. After eating our lives away in pizza we all pass out on the couch and sleep until 1pm that day. “Bzzzz. Buzzzzzz. BZZZZ” I open my eyes and roll over. It’s my phone. “Hello Knight”. Nurse 1 “Dr. Knight, it’s the soldier from last night!” I dart open my eyes and jump up. “What’s wrong?” “He started coding about 30 minutes ago but we got him stable. You might want to come in and look him over.” I look at Kailey and Jacob who are passed out still. “I will be right there, give me 30.” I hang up and run to my room to jump in the shower to wash up the hangover. I get dressed and run out the door with my stuff. 10 minutes later I arrive at the hospital- darting out of the SUV I run to the ICU to see the soldiers that were brought in. I walk in to see my father and The General standing there. “Dr. Knight.” “Mr. President, General” I smile and see that SSG Jones is awake and talking. “How are we feeling Sergeant?” I ask looking at his chart and vitals. He looks at me and smiles, “I am feeling pretty good Doc the meds feel great.” I laugh “well that’s good, are you feeling any pain or loss of movement in your arms or legs?” He shakes his head no. “That’s good, your burns on your arm are going to take time to heal, you may need therapy to gain full range of motion in order to return to duty.” The soldier darts his head at me, “I will be able to go back though right. What about Keller?” I look at the President and General. “He will be able to return to active duty in about 4-6 months depending on how his therapy goes.” Moving to the next room with them I say, As for Specialist Keller, until he wakes up, I won’t know the full extent of his injuries. He had no life-threatening complications while we were working on him but the burns he sustained are extensive. I had to induce a medical coma for a few days to help with the pain and healing. I will let you know as soon as he wakes up.” I nod to them and proceed to put instructions into their charts. **** I wasn’t expecting to see my father here, so I didn’t look my best for him. I see how he looked me up and down when I walked in the door, he knew I went out last night. When I got here, both soldiers were stable. “Alexis” I turn and see my father standing there. “Hi daddy, it’s good to see you. Feels like forever and it's only been 2 weeks.” I smile and look at the man who raised me to fight for what I want and to never give up. “I know princess, it's been very busy. How about you come to dinner next Thursday, your brother is coming home for a few weeks from Iraq. We can have some much-needed family time.” I get excited and screech, “Alex is coming home!!” I jump into his arms and hug him tightly. “That’s great dad, yes I can’t wait.” My father starts laughing as he embraces me. “I’m glad we will be reunited for a few weeks. I miss you wandering around at the White House medical. I barely get to see you now.” I smirk, “I know daddy, but I am doing a lot of good here, especially looking after our wounded soldiers who come home. I do miss seeing you too. We live in the same house but still don’t get to see each other like we used to. You’re running the country; I am running a trauma unit.” He smiles, “yes you are, and I couldn’t be prouder!”
