Bryce kept Lara upright for a second and then placed her on a chair that was opposite. He noticed that she was falling forward and caught her in his arms. As they were on the floor, Bryce called for a nurse; just as he was doing that he noticed that Alex's room door was open and that Alex had gotten himself out of bed when he heard Bryce shouting for a nurse.

Alex slowly made his way to the open door and saw Bryce on the floor, with Lara in his arms. None of the nurses were paying attention so Alex went to the remote beside his bed and pressed the help button. The nurse from the reception desk made her way down the corridor and saw Lady Croft lying in the arms of her tech guy. Bryce looked up as the nurse took Lara's pulse. The nurse, once done with Lara's pulse shouted another nurse over and asked her to go man her post.

The nurse then flagged a doctor with a gurney and they placed Lara onto it and they took her to be examined. Alex was in shock; he slid down the wall into a sitting position with his head in his hands. Bryce had gone with the nurse so Alex was alone.

About half an hour later, a nurse came to collect him so he could find out about Lara's condition. He was taken into a private room where a doctor was waiting for him.

"Ahhhh, Mr West I presume" The doctor said, putting her hand out to shake hands. "I'm Doctor Williams"
"Uhhh call me Alex please" Alex said all whilst looking at the doctor.
"Lady Lara Croft is suffering from severe dehydration and it's believed that she is suffering from hypersomnia." The doctor started explaining but Alex wasn't listening.
"What's hypersomnia?" Alex asked, clearly worried.
"Hypersomnia is where a person has trouble staying awake during the day; Lara has the type that has no reason to be present. This is known as idiopathic hypersomnia." The doctor said, dumbing it down so he could follow it.
"I should have seen the signs. They all fit. She fell asleep on me three times in a row, I worried about it but didn't say anything" Alex was on the verge of tears. 'If I had just seen the signs' Alex began to think 'She wouldn't be in this situation'.

When Alex got outside the private room he punched the door. Alex had asked the nurse if Lara could be put in the same room as him. He said it would give him peace of mind. They placed an extra bed in with Lara tucked up. It was only then that he realized that Lara was wearing one of his black shirts, one of her white west-tops and a set of cargo pants. Lara looked so pale. They had to give her a sedative to make sure she slept soundly. He gripped one of her hands in his. He should have known that things would go south. He had found it amazing that Lara was having their child. But it also troubled him.

Hillary had gotten word about Lara from a couple of nurses that had been tending to him. They were talking about how both tomb raiders were hospitalised. He asked them about Lara and they informed him that she had collapsed into Bryce's arms. Hillary took comfort in the fact that she hadn't gone straight down to the floor.

He asked the nurses if he could visit Lara for awhile. They prepared him and escorted him to Alex and Lara's room. When he got there he saw Alex crying whilst leaning on Lara's bed. Hillary knocked on the door. Alex sat up wiping his cheeks and saw Hillary, looking unwell himself. Lara stirred slightly. But neither Alex nor Hillary noticed. She opened her eyes and was gazing at Alex's icy blue eyes. Hillary breezed into the room and took a seat. Alex looked at Lara and saw her eyes were open.

"Lara," Alex said, kissing her hand "Are you okay?" Lara noticed that Alex had his 'concerned' face on.
"I'm okay, I think. What happened?" Lara asked, her eyes looking tired Hillary noted.
"You haven't been sleeping or drinking have you?" Alex asked, looking into her eyes for the honest answer.
"What does it matter to you?" Lara snapped, for no apparent reason.
"Lara" Hillary said briskly. "Calm down"
"Look if I need to be calm down I will ask Bryce to come and sit with me" Lara said, looking out of the door. "He's been my rock these past couple of days" Lara started crying, this time she couldn't stop.
