Sorry for the late updates guys. College has been a pain and I have had hospital and doctors appointments. I may have a free weekend so I can update more.

Chapter 12

"Umm, dad?" Scott said.

"Yes Scott?"

"I think Lily just squeezed my hand. Only slightly but i'm sure."

"She can't have done!" Jeff said surprised.

Then, the monitors starting beeping.

"Boys, get Dan, quickly!" Virgil, Scott and Gordon ran out of the room in search of Dan and John tried to get up.

"John please stay on the bed. Let Dan handle this" Jeff said as he rushed over to John. Dan ran into the room.

"Heart rate and BP are increasing. I think she's gracing us with her presence" Dan said checking his data pad and the monitors. Lily started opening her eyes but began panicking.

"Lily sweetheart i need you to let the machine breathe for you okay. I will disconnect the machine when you calm down." Dan said soothingly. Lily's breathing started slowing.

"Well done baby you're doing perfectly well." Jeff encouraged.

"Okay Lily i'm gunna switch the machine off okay so start breathing normally and I'll get the tube out." Dan said.

Dan switched the machine off and removed the tube from Lily. Lily started to breathe on her own but went into a coughing fit.

"Welcome back sweetie, its okay just try and get your breath back."

"I'm gunna put an oxygen mask on you Lily. It will help you breathe." Dan left the room to give them privacy.

"Da...Dad?" Lily asked

"Hey sweetie How are you feeling?"

"I've been better. Hey guys." Lily said as she noticed Scott, Virgil and Gordon standing in front of her.

"Where's John and Alan dad?"

"Alan is at home with Lucy and Chloe and John, well he's right there." Lily saw John in the bed next to her and started to panic.

"John? What happened? Why you there? Is it serious?"

"Sis calm down i'm fine. Dan just admitted me for obs okay. Well I've been here for two weeks. But i'm fine. Just, calm down."

"I want to go home." Lily said to Jeff.

"You can't sweetie, not yet. Wait till your better. We're moving you to Mike's private clinic so you'll be closer to home. You'll be moving soon."

"Where's Dan?"

"He's outside Lily why? Are you feeling ill again?" Jeff said starting to get worried.

"No, I just need to ask him something. But i really want to be treated at home dad so i can spend time with the girls."

"I'll ask Dan and call mike. Scott, can you find Dan please." Scott left the room in search of Dan.

"I'm really sorry everyone." Lily said starting to cry.

"Sis, why are you sorry?" Virgil said.

"Because of what I've put you guys through..."

"Lily don't be silly honey no of this is your fault it was an unfortunate incident that occurred." Gordon said.

Dan entered the room with Scott.

"Hey Lily. Glad to see you're awake. Now, what did you want to talk to me about?"

"Um, what's wrong with me?"

"Well, you're really underweight and your heart is not coping. So i'm really sorry sweetheart but it's weak. I doubt if you could survive on missions now." Lily started crying she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"All I ever wanted to be was a Thunderbird and work for dad."

"Sweetie you can still work as a thunderbird but on mission control."

"Can I go home and be treated at home instead of going to Mike's?"

"Let me see how you are doing in a couple of days. But I would say go to Mike's"

"I need some rest now. I'm feeling tired." Lily said upset. And she fell asleep almost immediately.

"Do you think she'll want to be on mission control every mission?" Scott asked to no one in particular.

"No she won't. She's stubborn Scott. But i bet you in the end she'll spend all of her time with the twins." John replied.

"Jeff, i really think you should check into a hotel so you lot can get some rest. I'm here and John's here so Lily won't be alone."

"Dan i really need to stay. I need to look after Lily and John."

"No Jeff. This is an order, go, and take Scott, Virgil and Gordon with you. I don't want to see you here until tomorrow morning okay." Dan said smiling at Jeff.

"Okay then, come on boys. I'll see you later Dan. Bye John I'll see you in the morning. Say goodnight to Lily when she wakes up."

"Okay dad. Bye." John replied.

Lily's POV

It must have been at least 10 or even 11pm. I could hear John snoring in the bed next to me. I really needed to get up. I swung my legs out of the bed and started sitting up slowly. I groaned slightly as a pain ripped through my chest.

After the pain left I put my feet on the floor and got my balance as i stood up. I made my way to the door and left my room. I made my way to the toilets. I wanted to get away from all of this

I entered the toilets and I felt my heart beating feeling fast. . I went into one of the cubicles and locked the door. I suddenly felt really unwell. Everything went black and I must have fainted.

General POV

It was 8am the next morning. John was still asleep and none of the nurses or Dan had come into their room yet. Then, Jeff entered the room and started panicking when Lily wasn't in her bed.

"John? Wake up son." Jeff said.

"Dad? What are you doing here?" John said sleepily.

"Never mind that. Where's Lily?"

"In her..." John looked over at Lily's bed and was shocked when he saw she wasn't there.

"What? Press her emergency button." John said.

Dan ran into the room.

"Jeff? What's... right we need to find Lily and fast." Dan ran out of the room and Jeff helped John up out of bed.

"Lily? Sweetie where are you?" Jeff shouted through the hospital halls.

"Jeff, i'm gunna look in these toilets can you and John stay out here just in case." Dan entered the toilets.

"Lily sweetheart are you in here?" Dan suddenly heard a groan from one of the cubicles.

"Lily?" Dan bent down to see Lily collapsed in one of the cubicles.

"Okay Lily just lie still i'm coming in." Dan got up and hit the emergency button on the wall and shouted for Jeff. Jeff and John ran into the toilets.

"Jeff i need you to talk to her. I'm gunna climb over."

"Lily? Sweetie can you hear me?" Jeff said

"Hmmmmm" Lily groaned.

"Hey sis. Come on if you wake up, I promise we'll go to the caves when we go home okay? And Alan is coming over and he's bringing Lucy and Chloe."

Lily started opening her eyes. Dan opened the door.

"Hey Lily. I'm just gunna listen to your heart."

"It's slowing down a bit but nothing to worry about." Dan reported.

"Come on we'll get you into a wheelchair and back to your room."

"Okay Dan."

Dan wheeled Lily back to her room with Jeff and John following. They helped Lily into her bed and put her bed up so she could see everyone. Dan then made his way over to John to check on him.

"Okay John, by the looks of these charts I can officially discharge you. Well done." Dan said happily.

Suddenly Scott, Virgil and Gordon rushed in.

"Boys? What's wrong?" Jeff asked.

"The press are here." Scott said breathlessly.

Uh oh the press are here. Will Lily take a turn for the worst? Or will she get better now that her daughters are on the way. Thank you for all the reviews. Please keep reviewing. Sorry if this chapter was boring.
