Georgia and Tatiana were not improving. Over the past two weeks, Georgia only gained five ounces, but Tatiana gained a pound. They still couldn't breath on their own and they were being fed through a tube, although Tatiana was expected to be taken off the ventilator soon. The doctors said it was because of twin to twin transfusion. Tatiana was much healthier than Georgia was. She was the twin that had gotten most of the nutrients during the pregnancy.

Lan was beside herself with worry and fear. They had been through so much; they couldn't loose their daughter's now. Derek sat next to their incubators. He put the Beanie babies Chloe had gotten them in there. They were basically the same size as the toys. Derek sighed deeply.

"Here." Chloe sat next to him with a cup of coffee, "Thought you could use this."

"Thanks." Derek said softly.

"They'll be okay, Derek." Chloe said. Derek's lips trembled.

"I-I can't loose them." He whispered, getting up and walking into the hallway. Chloe followed him.

"You won't." Chloe said patting his back, "No one will let that happen." Lan walked down the hallway. She smiled softly at Chloe as she walked into the nursery. "She looks so tired."

"I don't think I've seen her sleep since they were born." Derek sighed as a beeping noise came from the nursery.

"OH GOD!!!!" Lan screamed loudly. Derek dashed in, "She's not breathing!!! Georgia isn't breathing!!!!!" Derek's heart stopped beating. Not his baby. He ran out into the hallway.

"We need some help!!" He yelled. A nurse came jogging down the hallway and into the nursery. She grabbed Georgia's incubator and pushed it to the side. She grabbed the phone and paged their doctor. Lan cowered into Derek's chest.

Derek and Lan stood in the corner watching the doctor rush in and started tending to Georgia. The steady beeping pierced Derek's soul. He stared at the doctor grabbed small paddles. They were charging it to restart his daughter's lip. Derek's eyes fell onto Tatiana. Her tiny hand was clutching the beanie baby tightly. He looked back to his other daughter. Her tiny body jumped as the electricity jolted her heart. A steady beeping returned the room.

"Oh god." Lan whispered watching her daughter carefully. The doctor whispered something to the nurse and he took his gloves off. He walked to Derek and Lan.

"We were able to start her heart, but there is no response from her." He said, "I am going to keep her under close observation."

"Sh-She…Shes not awake?" Derek croaked out. He shook his head.

"Not yet. Go be with her, touch her, sing to her. Maybe she will wake up." He said, "This is a critical time for her. Tatiana is strong and will probably be home in a month or two, but Georgia is bad."

"Will she…make it?" Derek asked.

"Time will tell." The doctor said softly walking back to check on Georgia. Lan looked at Derek.

"If I loose her Derek…."

"We won't." Derek hugged Lan tightly. "We won't loose her."
