*I do not own Modern Family*
Chapter 1
Phil wakes up and opens his eyes lazily. He hisses and closes his eyes from the light. There is a dull pulsing pain in his forehead. He tries to get up, but he feels nauseous so he lies back down.
"Claire!" he calls, wincing.
"Mom went for a run, what's up?" Haley says.
"Can you get me some pain pills and a cold rag; I have a hell of a headache."
"Yeah, whatever."
She came back and gave him the pills and a rag. He took the pills and put the rag on his face sighing as he slumped back into the sheets, groaning. When his eyes closed colors flashed behind his eyelids and he struggled to try and fall back asleep. He guesses that he fell asleep because the next moment he opened his eyes two hours had passed. The piercing headache had now changed to a dull ache. He sat up slowly and squinted through the light. He got up from the bed and walked to the door. Just as he opened the door, Claire came up the steps.
"Oh hi honey. Haley told me you weren't feeling well. I went in there to check on you, but you were sleeping so I didn't want to wake you up. Do you feel okay now?" Claire rambled.
"I am feeling a little better, stills hurts a little though. Thanks." Phil kisses her on the forehead and then says smiling "Now what can I get to eat around here."
Phil puts an arm over her shoulders and Claire holds on to his waist as they walk down the stairs.

"I was more worried that he would collapse on the stairs. Don't tell Phil, but he looked terrible. He had bags under his eyes and looked dead tired, but I let him pretend to be okay, at least for now." She looked nervous and started biting her finger.
They walk into the kitchen to see Alex sitting at the table doing homework. Haley texting on the couch and Luke sitting at the counter blowing bubbles in his chocolate milk.
"Hey Dad" Luke said.
"Hey"
He opened the fridge, and got himself some milk. Claire served some pancakes from that morning and sat down next to him. She watched him scarf down his food from the corner of her eye.
"Hey give that back" Alex shouted.
Haley held Alex's textbook over her head and said "Are you really going to study all weekend?"
"I need too" Alex said.
Haley snorted and the two girls started yelling back and forth. Phil groaned and massaged his forehead. He started feeling lightheaded and the piercing migraine came back with a fury. Suddenly, his vision got spots in it and before he could react he passed out on the ground.
"Oh my god! Phil, Phil!" Claire screamed freaking out.
The room went silent and everyone froze, besides Claire. Haley slowly set Alex's book down. They all were in shock, until Claire went into action.
"Haley call 911, Alex call grandpa and Mitchell, and Luke get some of your dads clothes packed. We need to get your dad to the hospital."
