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."
Quote Post Goto Top

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

"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."
Quote Post Goto Top

"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?"
