When they made it back to the cabin they were soaked from head to toe, Penelope walked over to the fire and started taking her clothes off, Derek walked up behind her and said, "ohhhh baby you are shivering". He reached over on the bed and grabbed the sheet and said, "here let me wrap this around that beautiful body of yours".
She laughed and said, "th th thanks hhhandsome", he quickly stripped down and laid the blanket on the floor and threw some pillows down and said, "here baby lay down and let me warm you up". She removed the sheet from her body and quickly got under the blanket and she sighed happily as she felt Dereks arms wrap around her and pull her close.
It didn't take long before they were both warm, she kissed his lips and said, "I love you handsome", he said, "I love you to baby", she jumped when a clap of thunder crashed. Derek held her close and said, "it's ok baby". They held each other as the storm raged outside, and a couple of hours later the sky was a beautiful shade of blue again and they were both peacefully sleeping in front of the fireplace.
Fran and the girls were sitting at the kitchen table eating when the babies both started crying, they got up and headed into the nursery and leaned down and picked Dustin up and tried to calm him but he wouldn't stop crying. She kissed his forehead and said, "Sarah can you get me the thermometer please", Sarah walked into the bathroom and got the thermometer and then took it to Fran and said, "here you go momma".
Fran put it in his ear and when it beeped she looked at it and said, "oh my god it is 104.5", she looked down in her arms and watched as the little boy stated taking a seizure. Sarah grabbed the phone and called Dereks cell and after a couple of rings she heard, "hello", Sarah said, "Derek you and Penelope need to head home".
Derek raised up and said, "why what's wrong Sarah"?, she said, "Dustin is sick, he is running a fever of 104.5 and just took a seizure", Derek said, "we will meet you at the hospital". Sarah said, "ok baby brother but please be safe", Derek said, "we will", the call ended and Derek and Penelope quickly got dressed and headed out the door.
Penelope said, "ohhhhh god Derek what's wrong with our baby"?, he intertwined their fingers and said, "baby, the only thing Sarah told me was that he had a temp of 104.5 and had taken a seizure". She pulled out her phone and called Frans cell and after a couple of rings Sarah said, "hello", Penelope said, "how is he Sarah"?, Sarah took a deep breath and said, "the doctor is in with him and momma right now, his fever is 104.8 and he had another seizure but the doctor said that he seems to be ok".
Derek said, "what caused the seizure"?, Sarah said, "the doctor said that the seizure came from the fever", Penelope said, "we are only a few minutes away Sarah, how is Danni"?, Sarah said, "she is fine, no fever or anything so Desi stayed home with her". Penelope said, "thank you three for taking such good care of the babies".
Sarah wiped away a tear and said, "ohhhh hang on Pen the doctor is coming over", Penelope and Derek were both listening when the doctor came over and said,
"do you know when the parents will be here"?, Sarah said, "they are on speaker right now". He said, "Mr and Mrs. Morgan your son has a bad kidney infection which is causing the fever and the high fever caused the seizure".
elopes and said, "
Penelope said, "how is he now doctor"?, the doctor smiled and said, "he is sleeping, the ibuprofen that his grandma gave him finally started bringing the fever down". Penelope said, "do we get to take him home tonight"?, the doctor said, "well I would like to keep him overnight here so we can give him IV meds for the infection and for the fever".
Derek said, "we both want to stay with him", the doctor said, "of course, we will put him in a private room so that you can both stay with him tonight and if he is doing better tomorrow I will give him a prescription for antibiotics and send him home". Penelope gave a sigh of relief and said, "we will be there in about 15 minutes".
The doctor said, "I am going to go ahead and do his paperwork for admission so there is a possibility that he will already be in his room by the time you two get here, but they will know his room number at the front desk". Sarah smiled and said, "thanks doctor", he smiled and said, "you are very welcome", he then turned and headed back toward the nurses station to start the preparations to admit Dustin.
Derek said, "thanks Sarah for calling us and letting us know", she said, "anytime baby brother, anytime", Derek said, "we are coming by the mall now sis so we will be there in a couple of minutes". Sarah said, "just be careful, I'm gonna see if they will let me go back where momma and Dustin are, so I will see you in a few minutes.
The call ended and Sarah headed back to where Fran and Dustin were and as she was getting into the room Derek and Penelope were pulling into the parking lot,
they both jumped out of the car and ran inside. Penelope looked at the nurse and said, "Dustin Garcia Morgan", the nurse smiled and said, "follow me please,
they are right down here".
Derek and Penelope followed the nurse and when they stepped inside the door Penelope couldn't help but smile when she saw her son peacefully sleeping on the bed with his hand in Frans. They walked over and leaned down and gently kissed him and Penelope said, "it's ok baby boy, mommy and daddy are here", Fran smiled and said, "he has been asleep for about 25 minutes".
Penelope and Derek hugged Fran and Sarah and Penelope tearfully thanked them both for taking such good care of the twins, Fran smiled and said, "I am just glad that he is doing better". Penelope sat down beside Fran and Derek sat down on the other side of the bed with Sarah and they all smiled as they watched the little boy peacefully sleep.
