Unfortunately I do not own Luke, Reid, Katie, Chris, or any of the ATWT characters :(


Luke thought his socks felt tighter, but brushed it off, things shrink in the wash all the time. Just as Luke pulled had pulled his shoes on he heard his phone ring. "Luke Snyder."

"Yes, hello Mr. Snyder this is Reid Oliver, I was wondering if you would like me to send the car."

Luke laughed, "No, its okay Reid, I was just about to get in my leave."

"Okay, I'm about to leave the hospital, see you soon."

"Love you."

"Love you, too, Luke."

Luke arrived at the house to find boxes everywhere. Knock, knock, knock.

"Its open!" Katie called from inside the house. Luke pushed open the door and stepped into the box filled living room.

"Oh, Luke, hi! Reid isn't home yet, I think he got held up talking to someone he really doesn't want to talk to."

Luke laughed,"Of course! So Katie all ready to move out?"

"Physically, yes. Mentally, no. Well, I'm ready but it'll be so weird to move out and away from Brad. Its what I need to do though, Chris and I need a new start, and Chris...Chris needs me more than ever."

"Katie, if anyone can help him its Dr. Dixon, and they'll find a donor, I'm sure they will. They found one for me."

Katie smiled, "Thanks, Luke, I'm keeping my hopes up, but right now I just want to spend time with him"

"I understand."

Katie checked her watch, "Well I better head out, I'll see you tomorrow!"

After Katie left, Luke wandered around the house, weaving through the boxes.

Luke was getting a glass out of the cupboard when Reid walked in. "Oh, Luke, I'm sorry I got sucked into rounds, then I had to check out a patient who got a black eye, and when I finally got in the car, I hit traffic."

Luke didn't say anything he just kissed Reid. Reid groaned, "I would love to just...but nope I have plans for tonight."

"Ooooh, plans?"

"Yes, yes, plans, now give me five minutes to change and I will share them with you." Luke wandered over to put his glass away while Reid changed. After putting the glass away, Luke felt faint but brushed it off as excitement. Luke never made it to the couch because everything went black.

Reid was excited, he was going to ask Luke to move in with him tonight. Reid got ready in record time, three minutes. Reid walked out and looked around for Luke, "Luke?" Then Reid saw Luke, on the ground, unconscious. Reid automatically went into doctor mode, checking his pulse, making sure he was breathing, and calling 911.

"Yes, this is Doctor Reid Oliver, I have an unconscious kidney transplant of five years here. He's breathing and his pulse is moderate, but slow."

Luke woke up as he was being lifted into the ambulance, "R-Reid what happened?"

"Luke you passed, out we're going to the hospital, your going to be okay."

"Reid..."

"Luke, shhh, don't talk just relax," Reid pushed the hair away from his forehead.

When they got to the hospital, Reid called Lily and Holden while they did tests on Luke. Then, Bob walked out of the room with a grim look on his face.

"Bob, what is it?"

"Reid, its his kidney...Oh, Lily, Holden I'm glad you got here so quickly."

"Bob what's wrong, Dr. Oliver didn't go into specifics..." Holden asked worriedly.

"Well, I'm sorry to say but Luke has another kidney infection.

"Why can't we just give him antibiotics like all the other times?" Holden asked.

"This infection is worse, his kidney is failing."

Lily gasped, "Its f-failing?"

"Yes, Lily, I'm so sorry. We'll begin looking for donors immediately, but for now we have to put him on dialysis"

"Can we see Luke?"

"Yes, tell him what's up, let him know that death isn't evident and we'll do everything to help him." Lily nodded, choked up with tears and Holden guided her into the room. Bob nodded at Reid and walked away.

Reid paced, Luke can't die, he won't. Luke is the only reason I breathe now, the only reason I'm here. If Luke's gone...I don't know if I'll be able to live here anymore...I really don't want to leave...

"Reid!" Katie called as she hurried down the hall, followed closely by Chris. Reid turned around not wanting anyone to see him with tears in his eyes.

When he'd found his composure he turned around and Katie caught him in a hug.

"Bob called Chris, he thought you might need me here..."

"Katie, I'm...I'm scared, if Luke doesn't...if Luke doesn't get a transplant he could..." Reid whispered.

"Reid, Memorial has a great staff, they'll do everything for Luke and if we can't get an anonymous kidney, maybe Oakdale will come together and get tested..."

Reid broke away from the hug, "Katie! That's it! I'll get tested! Thank you so much! Look, I need to find Dr. Hughes, but I'll talk to you later."

"!" Reid said when he found Bob down the hall.

"Reid...did something happen with Luke?"

"No, no, I need you to test me."

"Test you..."

"Yes, test me, see if I'm a match for Luke. I want to give Luke one of my kidneys."

"Are you sure Reid?"

"Yes, yes I'm positive."

"Okay, come with me."
