Matt kissed BJ's forehead, which felt warm. He started to feel his heart rate increase. "Luke!" he called, "She has a fever!" |

"What?" Luke asked as he ran into the room. "Okay, don't panic. First we need to take her temperture to be sure. Let me get the thermometer." |

"Hurry," Matt instructed, holding the baby close to his body, "I hope she's not in pain... oh, I should have noticed this earlier. It's all my fault." |

"No, it's not," Luke said. "Lay her on her stomach. It's the... other kind of thermometer. And I want to call Brandon and tell him what's going on. If her temp's as high as I'm afraid it is, we're going to have to rush her to the hospital." |

Matt laid BJ down and paced while Luke took her temperature. "I'm scared, Luke. What if we took her out of the hospital too early?" |

"Don't panic, that's the worst thing you can do right now," Luke told him as took the temperature. "102. Shit. Call Brandon and tell to meet us at the hospital." |

Matt called Brandon and instructed him to meet them in the Emergency Room. He then turned to Luke and helped him bundle BJ up for a trip to the hospital. |

"It's going to be alright, baby," Luke said as he kissed BJ. "This isn't your fault, Matt. Babies get sick all the time." |

"It's just terrifying," Matt said as he put BJ into her car seat, "What if this is serious?" |

"Then we'll get through it together," Luke promised him. "It's probably just a fever... I hope. Brandon will know what to do, he's the doctor here." |

They got to the car and Matt drove quickly to the hospital, praying for their daughter the whole way. |

They arrived at the hospital and quickly got BJ out. "Just hang on," Luke said as he looked down at the baby. "You'll be okay, sweetheart." |

Brandon met them in the emergency room. He had a nurse with him as he picked BJ up and put her into a small, plastic cradle from the nursery. "How long has she had the fever?" "Um... she was crying about a half an hour ago, and I went to check on her, and she was burning up. I don't know exactly how long... I wasn't paying enough attention," Matt answered in a panic. |

"She was fine when we put her down," Luke told her. "Then five minutes later we heard her crying. Brandon, what did we do wrong?" |

"Sometimes babies get fevers," Brandon explained, checking BJ's vitals, "We'll take her in for some tests, but I promise you, it's probably just a virus she picked up from being out of the hospital. You did nothing wrong." |

"I hope she's alright,"Luke prayed. "I'll never forgive myself if BJ's sick because of me." Luke hugged Matt and held him close. "She'll be alright, she has to be." |

"Brandon didn't seem too concerned," Matt told him, trying to stay strong when every ounce of his body was panicking, "I'm sure it's nothing." |

"We need coffee, and lots of it," Luke told him, "Because I'm not leaving until our little girl comes home with us." |

"Let's go down to the cafeteria," Matt suggested, taking Luke's hands in his, "We'll get some coffee and walk off some of our anxiety before Brandon brings us an update." |

"Did I tell you that I hate hospitals?" Luke asked. "They just make me so nervous." |

"You didn't seem nervous when BJ was born," Matt commented, "But I understand. Hell, I used to hate hospitals too." |

Luke wrapped an arm around Matt as they walked along. "So, what made you hate this place?" |

"I just didn't like the thought of people dying in here," Matt told him, "But then I realized that hospitals give life, too. And that the place didn't kill the person. In fact, most of the time, the doctors in the hospital can save people." |

"You sound like you should be a doctor," Luke told him as he kissed Matt's cheek. "And you'd look damn sexy in scrubs." |

"Nah, the doctor thing is taken in my family," Matt told him, "I'm really interested in business. I think it's my calling. So would I still look damn sexy in a suit and tie?" |
