Chapter 2

Alex

"Grandpa, my dad has to go to the hospital." Alex said frantically.

"Jesus! What happened?" Jay said.

"He just passed out. We don't know what is wrong."

Jay huffed and Alex could almost hear him roll his eyes.

"We will be there soon. Hold on."

Alex hung up and tried to stop her hands from shaking as she pressed end. She felt uneasy from her grandpa's reaction, but searched her phone for Mitchell's number. She pressed his number and heard the dial tone ring once…..twice…..three times until.

"Sorry, sorry. Hello?" Mitchell said.

"It's Alex. My dad is going to hospital." Alex breathed.

"Oh my god! What happened?"

"He passed out. We are going now. Can you meet us there?"

"Ye-Yes."

The phone switched and she heard Cam talk to Mitchell.

"Hang in there sweetie. We are coming." Cam said.

The phone ended and Alex felt 10 times more relieved after talking to Mitchell and Cam. She put her phone in her pocket and scampered into the kitchen

Jay

"Come on. We need to go." Jay said.

"What happened?" Gloria said, while Manny peered in from the next room over.

"Phil has to go to the hospital, he passed out. We are going to meet them there."

"Oh, no!" Gloria said.

"We should hurry up then." Manny said.

"It is not like he is dying." Jay said.

"Have some sympathy Jay, he is your son-in0law." Manny said, while Gloria gave Jay a look, and then nodded at Manny. Gloria picked up Joe then walked out the door with Manny, without Jay.

Jay huffed then grabbed his keys and walked out the door.

Mitchell

Mitchell and Cam usually took forever to get ready to go somewhere, but when it came to emergencies they went to action. Cam grabbed one of his many Get Better cards and got Lily ready to leave. Mitchell packed a bag for Lily and the other kids.

"I hope he is okay." Mitchell said.

"I am sure he is." Cam said, but seemed uneasy as well.

"I wonder how Claire and the kids are handling this."

"Yeah, I think we are ready to go"

They grabbed their bags and scrambled out the door, with Lily skipping behind them.

Luke

Luke ran up the stairs and tripped on the step, holding back tears thinking about how his dad would shout "Gotta fix that step." He got into his parent's room and slid the closet door open. His mom's side of the closet was neatly organized in color code while his dad's side of the closet was strewn everywhere and randomly placed. Luke grabbed 5 random shirts and pants along with socks and underwear and whatever else he could grab.

"He's gonna be fine, He's gonna be fine" Luke whispered to himself as he shoved the clothes into the duffel bag. He was used to his dad comforting him or his mom reassuring him. But his dad was not there and his mom was not as certain as she usually was.

He zipped up the bag and dashed down the steps towards the kitchen.

Haley

Haley grabbed her phone and walked out the front door to get some air. She grabbed her phone out of her side pocket and called 911. The phone was answered on the first ring and a woman's voice said "911, please state your emergency."

Panic overwhelmed Haley and she breathed out in one sentence, "My dad passed out, he had a horrible headache, he is in our kitchen."

"Calm down. We are sending an ambulance your way."

Haley held her phone in her trembling hand and tried to take deep breaths. She heard sirens coming closer. From down the block, an ambulance zoomed down the street. Haley ran down the driveway, and the ambulance screeched to a stop. Two medics jumped out of the back and carry a stretcher out with them. Haley ushers them into the house and points them towards the kitchen where her dad still laid.

Claire

Claire tried to keep herself together as she told each of her kids what to do, but inside she was panicking, She wasn't sure if she should prop Phil up or just leave him as he was, so she sat on the floor next to him. He was breathing, but he looked like he was in some pain. She stroked his hair back and held back tears. She could not cry in front of her kids. They needed her now and she could not let them down. She heard Alex come in the room.

"Grandpa and Uncle Mitchell are meeting us at the hospital." Alex said. She looked tight lipped and there was a scared look in her eyes.

"Thanks sweetie." Claire said struggling to get a smile on her face. Alex nodded and sat on a bar stool, waiting.

Next, they heard Luke running down the stairs. He ran into the kitchen and caught his breath saying "I g-got the b-bag." He did not let go of the bag, but leaned against the counter, as he tried to avoid looking at his dad.

Claire wanted to hug them both close, but she was stuck in place next to Phil. Instead she continued to alternate looking at Phil and looking at the clock.

It felt like forever, but finally Haley came running into the room with two medics carrying a stretcher. They picked Phil up carefully and set him on the stretcher.

Claire felt empty and numb as they all walked out the door. Haley locked the door and they hurried down the driveway towards the ambulance.

"We can only take two of you with us in the ambulance" said one of the medics.

Claire looked down at her kids and saw Luke about to cry. She guesses that Haley also saw that because she said "Alex and I will meet you there, you guys go ahead."

Luke breathed a sigh of relief and Claire hugged Haley and Alex before they got into the van. Claire and Luke climbed into the ambulance and sat on the small bench next to Phil. Even though Luke was much older he scooted next to Claire, and Claire put her arm around him and held him close.

The ambulance turned on its sirens and drove off towards the hospital, where the entire family was heading.
