Ugh, I got halfway through this chapter, and then I started feeling sick, so I love the first half, while the second half is... eh. It'll do.

Kay, screw it, I'll just do another flashback in this one. As for the names, I spent so freaking long trying to decide what to name the babies. I'll explain at the end of that chapter why I chose the names I did.

Also, I was thinking. We only saw what happened to Isabella at a bystanders viewpoint, but we never knew what it was like for her. Well, now I'm going to tell you.

AND ANOTHER THING xD I'm not going to dwell too much on some of the characters; I like Candace, and want her to be in the story, so I'll have her in this, and Isabella's mom, and the others I'll only mention later. I'm sorry if you guys don't like this, but I didn't want to draw this scene out for too long, so I just picked them.


Isabella couldn't remember much of what happened between falling to the ground at Candace's house, and waking up in the hospital. What she did remember though, was not very pleasant. She remembered the pain, loud and clear. She remembered falling to the ground and being caught by Phineas, and then there was only the pain, and his voice, breaking through the darkness. She remembered being moved somewhere; well, she think she was being moved. All she knew was that it hurt even more now. But Phineas was still there, holding on to her, keeping her from fading away.

Then suddenly, he was gone, and she panicked. She felt herself being taken over by the darkness. But then he was back, and she was okay again. As long as he was there, she could find a reason to hold on. The next time he let go, she almost panicked again. But then she remembered another reason. She felt that there was another reason for her to keep out of the darkness. Three reasons. And so she held onto those three reasons, even though she could barely remember what they were.

As time passed, memories came flooding back to her. Not even close to all of them, but one memory in particular. She held three little lives inside of her, and she was responsible for them. If she let herself be taken over by the darkness, they would have no one to look after them.

The pain never left. In fact, it only got worse. It went from a sharp, constant throb, to a ripping pain that spread through her entire body. She would have screamed had she been able. She didn't know why she still felt pain; couldn't she be under sedative or something? But she felt it, and then she started hearing voices through the darkness. None of them were Phineas' voice, but she listened anyways. She was fairly sure it was doctors talking, by the way they spoke and the words they used. She listened to the words, not knowing the meaning of most of them, but one word rang loud and clear through her mind, and refused to leave.

Unresponsive.

It brought her on the verge of panic once again. She knew they couldn't be referring to her, because she was obviously alive if she was hearing them. So it could only mean one thing. Or three things. That word continued to echo in her mind, no matter how hard she tried to push it out. It filled her with terror, and she felt it overtaking her...

Isabella awoke with a scream. It was dark, and it was too hot, and she couldn't breathe for a moment until she realized where she was.

She had been dreaming again. She knew this because as her eyes adjusted, she saw that she was lying in her hospital bed, with Phineas right next to her. As she pushed all of her sleepiness away, she remembered everything, and felt Phineas' cool hand stroking her forehead gently.

"Shhh..." he whispered. "Everything's okay. You were just dreaming."

That was the thing though. While it had been a dream, it had also really happened. And that was the terrifying part.

Isabella pushed those thoughts out of her mind, and let herself be lulled to sleep once again by the soothing sound of her fiance's voice. This time when she dreamed, she dreamed of a few nights before, just hours after waking up in the hospital.

Flashback/Isabella's Dream

Normally, only family would be allowed into a patients room at first, but apparently being related to the patients fiance was good enough to be let in right away.

First Vivian came in. She knocked softly on the door and entered when Phineas said it was alright. When she saw her daughter in the hospital bed, she was almost overcome with sadness, but she saw that she was alright, and then she saw the two babies in their cots, and felt a rush of joy. They looked very similar; both of them had very dark red hair and looked very peaceful as they slept. She noticed that there was no third baby, and was pretty sure she knew what had happened. She felt sad for her daughter, while also happy about what had gone right. They talked for a while, and then Vivian had a question.

"Have you decided what you're going to name them?" she asked. Phineas and Isabella looked at each other and smiled.

"The girl's name is Maya Francis Flynn," she said. "And the boy's name is Daniel Vivian Flynn."

(Francis for Ferb, by request, and Vivian for, well, Vivian, also by request. I'll explain later about their first names)

Vivian felt the tears come to her eyes. After what she had said and done, they completely forgave her, enough to give one of their children her name as a middle name. She would have hugged her daughter, had she not been lying in a hospital bed.


The next person to come in was Candace. She already had a pretty good idea of what was going on, being medically trained as she was, so she didn't want to force them to say it, knowing it was painful. She felt terrible about their loss, almost blaming herself for not being able to do more. But she also knew that they wouldn't let her blame herself for even a second, so she focused on cheering them up.

"I'm glad you're feeling better now," Candace said to Isabella. She sat at the end of the bed, having already been talking to them for quite some time now.

"And I'm glad that they're feeling better," said the dark haired girl, looking over at the twins, who were now awake, and no longer requiring breathing tubes. They were still hooked up to the machine, but that was just a precaution.

"They're going to be quite the handful; if you ever need any help, I'm always available," offered Candace. She would love to help them out as much as possible, and knew that she probably would be, what with her experience. After raising her own daughter, and being the oldest sibling, she was used to taking charge of the situation. Of course, she had gotten much better at it than when she was a teenager.

"Thanks sis," Phineas thanked her.

"Any time little bro."

End Flashback/Back to Real Life

Phineas smiled as he heard Isabella sigh in her sleep, sounding much more peaceful than she had shortly after waking up. He figured that she was having the nightmare again. She had told him about it, and how she'd been having it since her first night in the hospital. Phineas hated to see her like this; she was scared. Scared about what could have happened, and what did happen. And he couldn't blame her. What she had been through was just as terrifying as what he had.

Not wanting to let these thoughts bother him any longer, Phineas settled himself into the bed and felt Isabella cuddle up to him in her sleep, and he smiled again. He closed his eyes, thinking about how much she was going to love her surprise when they went home.


What's the surprise? I'm not telling! Not until the next chapter. Yes, I know this chapter was short. Now, the names. I was thinking, I wanted to use characters as middle names, and I wanted the first names to be sentimental to me. Daniel is the name of my wonderful boyfriend, who has stuck by me through everything, much like Phineas for Isabella. Maya is the name of my childhood friend. She died when we were nine years old. I wanted to find a way to honour her memory, and when I was trying to think of the name for the girl, her name instantly came to mind. So that's why I chose the names.

I'm sorry if the flashback wasn't very good T_T I haven't been feeling well, but I didn't want to keep you guys waiting.
