A/N I am on a roll! 2 Chapters within the same time period! WOOT!

Anywho, enjoy!

Isabella sat in the waiting room for what seemed like forever. Nurses came and went and none stopped to tell her Phineas' condition. It was a little bit irritating to her. She let out a sigh and looked down at Phineas' phone. It had been about fifteen minutes since she got to Tristate Regional Medical Center with the paramedics. Ferb and Vanessa would be there soon, so at least she didn't have to sit there by herself. Just about that time, she looked up and saw the green-haired teen and his brunette girlfriend coming down the hallway. Ferb approached Isabella and hugged her "how is he?" the English-born teen asked.

Isabella looked at him and shook her head "I… I honestly don't know. They haven't said anything aside from him being in critical condition and the usual 'we're doing everything we can'…" her voice broke a bit as she spoke and the two that had just arrived could tell that she had been crying before they got there.

Vanessa took a seat beside the raven-haired Mexican-Jewish young woman and began to rub slow circles on her back "it's going to be okay, Isabella… it's Phineas. He'll pull through, he can pull through anything!"

Ferb nodded, "Vanessa is right, Izzy… just believe in him. He's a whole hell of a lot stronger than some people give him credit for, believe me" he let out a soft sigh and took a seat on the other side of Isabella "I called mum and dad before we left the hotel… they're on their way"

Isabella nodded "did you get the paint?"

Ferb nodded his head "we took care of it. It's in Vanessa's car… we even managed to grab this…" he handed her, her pink and black purse that her phone was in. "You guys left the car unlocked…"

"I'm sorry…" Isabella said sadly as she took her purse from Ferb's hands, "I hadn't realized… I guess we were just too caught up in being with eachother…" she sniffled a little bit and then put her head in her hands. "It's not fair!" she started to sob, "I just… I… I just got him!"

Vanessa wrapped her arms around Isabella "shh… it's okay. He'll be fine, you'll see"

Just about that time, Linda and Lawrence rushed into the waiting room "have you heard anything?" Linda asked worriedly, "how's my boy?"

Ferb shook his head "they haven't told us much, mum" he said, "no updates or anything… all Isabella knows is that they have him in ICU and he's in critical condition"

Lawrence put a hand on his son's shoulder and smiled sadly "I'm sure they'll send one of the physicians out here to give us some news…" the British adult said and then looked down the hall when he heard footsteps, "in fact, here comes someone now… I'll try to see if they know anything" he hurriedly walked over to the doctor who was making his way from the urgent care unit. "Excuse me…" he said and the doctor turned to him, "my name is Lawrence Fletcher, I am Phineas Flynn's st… father. Do you by chance have any information on my son's current condition?"

"Flynn? Ah yes! The redhead. You're just the family I was looking for" he looked at the clip board and flipped a few pages, "he's stable. However, he has sustained injuries from the accident. The injuries include some minor cuts and bruises along with a deep gash to the side of his head, no hemorrhaging from that though. He also has a fractured femur on the left side and a few cracked ribs. He's unconscious for now and we are moving him out of ICU as we speak. In fact, my nurse should be right behind me with him"

Just as the words left his mouth, the doors at the end of the hall opened and a nurse pushing a stretcher made her way through the hall.

They recognized the teen laying on the stretcher immediately and all breathed a sigh of relief seeing that he still had some color to his face. Isabella smiled softly "thank god…" she said quietly.

The doctor smiled and motioned for the family, and two ladies, to follow him. They did so without any hesitation. He led them to room number 19 and the nurse wheeled the stretcher into the room. She smiled sweetly at the family and then left the room. The doctor hung the clipboard, that had some x-rays on it, on the whiteboard which already had Phineas' name on it. He smiled and turned to face them "I am Doctor Pierce. I will be taking care of Phineas." He shook Lawrence's hand and then turned and did the same with Linda, Ferb, Vanessa, and Isabella. He then turned, "Patricia will be in here to replace the drip on his IV. I have other matters to attend to for the moment." He left them in there with Phineas.

Linda looked at her son. Even though he was unconscious, his eyes would flutter and then his face would contort from the pain he was feeling. She walked over to him and stroked his hair "it's okay, baby… momma's here" she cooed.

Lawrence and Ferb walked out of the room to go get some food for the group and Phineas when he awoke.

Vanessa took a seat on the couch opposite the bed and Isabella walked to the opposite side of Linda and sat in the chair that was there. She reached out and took his right hand and squeezed it gently so that he knew she was there. She felt his hand close around hers and looked up to see that he had his eyes open and was looking at her with a sleepy smile on his face. "Hey you…" he said softly. He then turned his head to look at Linda and continued smiling "mom… I'm sorry…"

"Don't apologize, Phineas" Linda said, "it wasn't your fault and you know it."

Isabella nodded "she's right. There was no way that you could have stopped that guy from hitting you… thanks for pushing me out of the way though"

"I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I hadn't…" he replied weakly. He squeezed her hand again, "I care far too much for you to let anything happen to you"

Vanessa stood up "you do have impeccable timing though" she joked. Isabella laughed while Linda and Phineas just looked at Vanessa with confused expressions. Vanessa realized that she might have said too much when Linda's eyes widened in realization. Phineas looked between them as he felt the tension rise.

"We'll discuss that later" Linda said and then looked down at her son, "I'm just glad you're okay Phineas" she turned and looked at Vanessa "Vanessa and I are going to be down at the cafeteria with your father and brother"

Vanessa sighed "alright, let's get this over with…" with that, the two left the room.

Phineas looked at Isabella "what did she mean I have impeccable timing?"

Isabella laughed again and tears began to form in her eyes "you're going to have to ask Ferb about that…" she winked.

Phineas furrowed his eyebrows for a moment trying to think. Vanessa and Ferb were on a date last night… mom said they'd be out quite late… impeccable timing… he scratched his head, impeccable timing… impeccable– OH MY GOD! His face reddened as he finally realized what she had been talking about. "oh… OH!" he laughed, "you mean that…" he threw his head back and laughed hard and then his laughter stopped and he winced, holding his chest that was bandaged. He wiped a tear from his eye and chortled once more.

"What?" Isabella asked, tilting her head. What is he laughing about?

He felt for his phone in his pocket but realized he was wearing a hospital gown. He looked at Isabella "umm… do you have my phone?"

"– I was so close too!" Ferb said with a chuckle, "however, at least it was something important this time"

Lawrence laughed "that reminds me of a story with your mom… but… that's for another time"

"LAWRENCE!"

"Oh dear… I'll be right back" he said, setting his coffee down on the table of the cafeteria.

Vanessa walked over to him with her arms crossed "your mom knows…"

Ferb looked at her "how?"

"I sort of told your brother that he has impeccable timing" Vanessa admitted.

"Dad knows too. But he's totally cool with us so it's no big deal… by the way, did you think about what I asked at dinner?" Ferb asked, rubbing the back of his neck.

Vanessa looked at him and smiled remembering that she had told him she needed time to think.

:FLASHBACK:

The food was spectacular just like Ferb had said it would be. Vanessa was in heaven. She and Ferb had been dating for almost five years now and were, most definitely, in love. He struck up the band and walked around to meet her gaze "Vanessa… I have never been so captivated by anything or anyone else for that matter… ever since the day I met you, I haven't been able to stop thinking about you. You have made me extra happy these past four years and you are the light of my life. I don't think I have ever been so vocal in my life. I never used to speak to anyone. I was more a man of action so to speak. I never used to believe in silly things such as love or magic and since I've been with you, I can definitely say that you opened my eyes to the beauty of both of those things. I've wanted to ask you something for quite some time now, but I have been terrified of doing so, for fear of rejection.

"As you know, I am preparing to leave for England next month. So I am running out of time." He cleared his throat and smiled up at her as he got down on one knee and took her left hand into both of his hands, "so I am asking… will you come with me to England?" he sighed, "what I'm trying to ask is… marry me Vanessa?"

Vanessa's jaw dropped as she looked at her boyfriend "Ferb… I… I don't know what to say."

"Then say you will" he said as he pulled the black velvet box from his pocket and opened it to reveal a beautiful sapphire and diamond ring.

"Give me some time to think Ferb… I want to be with you… I'm just not sure if it's too soon to go to the next step in our lives"

:END FLASHBACK:

"I haven't had much time to think… I will come with you to England, that is a definite" she took his hand in hers, "I love you"

Ferb smiled and nodded "I love you" he replied.

A/N Had to add my little Ferbessa moment in there. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed chapter 4. I don't know how long it will be until chapter 5 is out but it shouldn't be too long.

Let me know what you thought. I will get the next chapter up as soon as I can. Unfortunately with work and raising kids… I don't have much time anymore. I will finish the story before the year is up though so don't worry about that.
