Not long after, Roger heard the sound of coughing in the guest bedroom, now Christine's room. He automatically snapped into parenting mode.
He and April dressed and went into Christine's room.
"Hey sweetie how are you feeling"
"My tummy hurts"
April felt her forehead with a kiss.
"Roger," April whispered, "she's burning up"
"Stay with her," Roger instructed April, "I'm going to go call Collins"
Meanwhile Collins was struggling desperately to keep Sara alive.
"Dr. Collins phone call for you on line 1"
"Shit! Thomas take over"
"Yes Dr. Collins"
"Hello?"
"Collins it's Roger. Christine's burning up"
"Fuck," Collins muttered under his breath and thought to himself can this day get any worse
"I'll be right over," he sighed. He was back at the loft moments later.
From then on in everything went downhill. At the end of the day Collins was in tears.
"Collins, what's wrong"
"It's just been a really bad day"
"Is Sara okay?"
"She's alive if that's what you mean?"
"Collins," Roger said, "this reminds me of a song I wrote"
"Maybe it can help me"
Roger smiled, picked up his guitar and started to play.
Oh ain't life wonderful
When everything is right
But sometimes wonderful
Can fall apart sometimes
When your troubles knock you down
Pick yourself up off the ground and
Walk on
Walk on
Nothing ever stays wrong that long
Walk on
Oh walk on
Don't just stand there in the storm
Walk toward the light till you find the sun
And you'll be better off in the long run
And walk on
Oh it's a heartache when love comes to an end
But even though your heart breaks
You know it's gonna mend
Keep the faith right through goodbye
And don't you ever break your stride
Walk on
Walk on
Nothing ever stays wrong that long
Walk on
Oh walk on
Don't just stand there in the storm
Walk toward the light till you find the sun
And you'll be better off in the long run
And walk on
Walk on
Walk on
Nothing ever stays wrong that long
Walk on
Oh walk on
Don't just stand there in the storm
Walk toward the light till you find the sun
And you'll be better off in the long run
And walk on
Walk on
Walk on
Ohhh walk on
Walk on
Oh walk on
Collins smiled as Roger put a hand on his arm
"I learn that from you," Roger said to Collins.
