Chapter 10 The Hospital

A young 21 year old Mark slowly made his way down the hospital halls. After what seemed like hours of wondering, he finally found the room he was looking for. Slowly, he reached for the door and walked in. There on the bed infront of him, was Tyler, wires hooked up to his body, and a sheet covering him up to his bandaged chest. The heart monitor on the side of his bed beeping with his heart.

"Tyler" said Mark as he made his way up to his bed. Tyler's eyes opened as he turned to look at his brother, his eyes looking tired and weak. "I glad to see you Mark" he said, his voice scratchy and course. "What's wrong with your voice?" he said as he grabed a chair and sat down next to his brother. "All the blood passing through my throat caused a infection. It is very difficult for me to speak right now".

Mark smiled as he looked over his brother, "You are tough, being shot several times, and live. That has to be one for the medical journal". Tyler smiled as he looked up to the ceiling, "I had a reason to live. Sarah is pregnant". Mark's eyes widened in surprise, "With your child?" he said in disbelief. Tyler nodded as he looked back at Mark. "I'm going to be a father". Mark's shocked face then turned to a smile, "You will be a great father Tyler, I know it".

Tyler just smiled at his brother. "How is the acting going?' he said after a long silence. "It is hard finding jobs" said Mark, "I'm thinking about going into the spy agency". Tyler looked at his brother in surprise as he slowly sat up, groaning in pain. "You can't give up now. All great careers start off slow, just give yourself more time. You are a great actor".

Mark smiled as he patted his brothers shoulders. "Thanks Tyler, I'll give myself more time". Tyler's face the took a serious tone as he took a deep scratchy breath. "Mark, for the last few days lying here, I thought of something. I hope you don't despise me for leaving you all alone with mom, I know it couldn't have been easy". Mark gave a small smile as he looked at his brother. "No, to be honest, it wasn't. But one thing always gave me strenght, that when ever I needed support, I know you would give. So no, I don't despise you".

Tyler gave a thankful smile as he leaned back down. "Who's the friend" came a high pitched voice from the door. Mark turned, and to his surprise, saw six chipmunks standing there, with Sarah standing behind them. "Guys" said Tyler, "I want you to meet my brother, Mark Pauwel. Mark, these are the friends I told you all about". Mark looked at the chipmunks, then at Tyler. "You weren't making it up" he said.

Tyler gave a small weak chuckle as looked at everyone, "No, I wasn't". Mark then looked at the chipmunks, then kneeled infront of them. He then extended his fingers as all the chipmunks grabed one and started to shake. "It is nice to meet you" Mark said, "I heard a lot what I thought were stories". The chipmunks laughed as Mark slowly pulled away.

"Your right Tyler" said Brittany as she looked at Mark, "He doesn't look like you". "I take it Tyler has told you many stories about me" Mark said as he looked back at his brother. "Yeah" said Brittany, "We heard a lot about you and your family".

Mark looked at Brittany, and eyed her curiously, "I hope you don't mind me asking, but is there something wrong with you?" he said pointing to her stomach. Brittany looked at her growing stomach, and smiled as she looked back at Mark. "No, I'm pregnant, I'm due in about two week" she said as she looked at Tyler. "I hope you will be out of here before that".

Tyler smiled he struggle to speak, "Don't worry, I will get out of here in time, even if I have to crawl on all fours". Tyler then began to hack like crazy, his voice couldn't take anymore. Sarah the moved next to the bed and stroked Tyler's hand.

"Rest Tyler, you've been through enough. I need you recover quickly for when we become parents".

Tyler gave a small nod as he leaned back and closed his eyes. Everyone then silently walked out of the room and closed the door behind them. Mark then turned to Sarah and smiled, "Congradulations Sarah, I know you and Tyler will be great parents". "Thanks" she said as she looked at her stomach, "I don't know what would happen if he hadn't made it".

"Well" said Mark as he moved away, "He''s fine now, your child will grow up with a father". Mark then walked away, leaving everyone standing there with a smile of relief on their faces.

"IMORTANT PLEASE READ"

That is it for this story, now it is back to the normal story line. However, my next story, like I said, won't be a part my series because I need a break from it. Plus, I am at a loss for how to continue the series. So if you have a story ideas that you would like to see with Alvin, Brittany, Tyler and the rest, let me know, it would help a great deal.

The next story will be a new romance story between Alvin and Brittany. I thought about making it based on the real Tyler and Sarah, but I feel it won't have that Alvin and the chipmunks feel to it. I would be changing a lot characters that they wouldn't seem like the ones we all know and love.

My next story, I will be releasing tomorrow, but, the updates will be slower so that I can take my time and make really good chapters becuase I have only just started to write it. Plus, it will make for greater suspense )

The next story will be called "Does He Love You".
