Tommy watched as Kim's heart stopped and as his mother called the code.
"Mom, what's happening?" Tommy asked.
"Thomas, you have to wait outside." Tenisha said pushing him out of the room.
As Tenisha pushed her son out of the room the crash cart came running into the room. Tommy tried to look in the window and watch, until someone closed the curtain.
"Kimberly, please be okay. Kimberly, hang in there and come back to me." Tommy said as he let the tears flows from his eyes. Every second that passed was like an eternity. After 5 minutes or so, Tenisha came out of the room.
"Thomas, she pulled through. It was rough at first, but we got her back." Tenisha said hugging her son.
"Mom, how did she end up with sugar-pills?" Tommy asked.
"I don't know; there will be an investigation though. We are working on getting Kimberly's anemia under control. The anemia has left her weak and vulnerable, so the medication sent her into cardiac arrest." Tenisha explained.
"Will she be alright, Mom?" Tommy asked.
Tenisha shook her ahead and said, "Tommy, I don't know. We will do all we can to help her. I just don't know how much longer her body can withstand all the anemia that she has been through"
In the hospital cafeteria, Jason was eating ice-cream and Kira was more picking at hers.
"I know this is rough, but Kimberly will pull through. She is strong, even though it may not seem like it right now." Jason told Kira, but it was more like who is he trying to convince Kira or himself.
Trevor and Rick were staring at Kira with Jason. Kira saw them watching her and just ignored them. Jason saw someone he recognized coming into the cafeteria so he got up and met them half-way through.
"Mom, what are you doing here?" Jason asked giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Me, what are you doing here?" Jason's mother Justina asked.
"I live here now." Jason replied, he knew what she was getting at, but was trying to avoid the subject.
"No, I mean why, are you at the hospital?" Justina asked.
Kira saw Trevor and Rick walking towards her so she decided to go join Jason and the woman he left to talk to. Justina saw this girl coming towards them and stop by Jason's side.
"Oh, you must be Mercedes." Justina said.
"No mom, this is Kira Ford, she is one of Tommy's adopted teenagers. Kira this is my mother, Justina Scott." Jason said introducing them.
"Jason, I am going to go back upstairs to see mom." Kira said and then she left.
"Mom? Not Kimberly? What is Kimberly doing in the hospital?" Justina asked her son.
"Mom, Kimberly's anemic and she collapsed." Jason explained.
"Kimberly is in the hospital? She wasn't doing gymnastics when she collapsed, was she?" Justine asked angrily.
"Mom, no! Kimberly hasn't really done gymnastics since she broke her arm. Supposedly, the medication Kimberly was taking was nothing more then a placebo. So she ended up being highly anemic. Kira found her passed out on the floor." Jason explained.
"Where are the twins and your new teenage daughter?" Justina asked.
"Both are at Tommy's parents' house. We all live there, the twins have taken a liking to Mercedes, and so she is comforting them." Jason explained.
Justina and Jason went up to see Kimberly. Tommy and Kira were outside the room and Kira was crying.
"Tommy's what wrong?" Jason asked.
"Kimberly went into cardiac arrest, when they gave her medication to get the anemia under control. Mom managed to revive her, but until she wakes up. It will be touch and go." Tommy explained.
Justina went into the room to see Kimberly. Justina was surprised to see the shape Kimberly was in. She has been there for Kimberly since her mother died.
Justina held Kimberly's hand, "Oh sweetie. You have to get better; I have loved you since you were a toddler. I have always loved you as if you were my own. I am not going to sit back here and just let you die. Fight this, fight to wake up." She said.
Tenisha came in the room and heard the end of Justina plead.
"Justina, where are you staying?" Tenisha asked.
"Right here with Kim. After her accident, when Caroline got the call that Kimberly was in the hospital with anemia and had a shattered arm. She came to see her, but was killed when a drunk driver ran a red light. I have been taking care of her since then. She moved in with Jason and us after she was released from the hospital. She was just 16-years-old, pregnant, anemic, and had a badly broken arm." Justina said shaking her head.
"Justina, you've known Kimberly a long time. Was the anemia always this bad?" Tenisha asked.
"Sometimes yes it was, other times it was just a mild case. Although it seemed every time her mother went out of town and she stayed with us, she had a sever case of anemia. Although, she never let it stop her from competing or practicing. We just learn to let her; it wasn't worth fighting with her over it, because she would do it anyway." Justina said.
Tommy and Jason came back into the room.
"Where's Kira?" Tenisha asked.
"Parker is taking her home, she wanted to stay. This has been too much for her after losing her own parents the way that she did." Tommy said.
Kimberly started to stir and make some noises, she finally opened her eyes.
"Tommy!" She started calling before her eyes were completely opened.
"Beautiful, I am right here." Tommy said.
"Kim, how do you feel?" Jason asked.
"Really tired, I didn't think that I could ever be this tired. I wasn't even this tired that time I passed out in the park, or the time I fell. Those times I was tired, but not like this." Kimberly admitted.
"You gave us all, quite a scare." Tommy said kissing her on the cheek.
"I just don't understand what happened. I've been taking the medication like I am supposed to. I don't know how I got this sick." Kimberly said yawning.
"It turns out that the medication you were taking was nothing more then a sugar-pill. No real medicine in it." Tenisha explained.
"How did that happened?" Kim asked.
"There will be an investigation into it. Now get some rest." Tenisha said as she shooed everyone out of Kim's room so she can sleep.
