Annie told the Paramedic who was treating Eric that he had been tired recently and was stressed out a few months ago but was better after that incident. But recently seemed tired again after the incident where a man trying to get revenge on him but this is the first time he has fainted. Within a few minutes Eric and David were transported to the GlenOak hospital. Hank and Annie went in the ambulance as Julie takes her car to the hospital with Mary as Matt, Shana, Lucy, Ruthie, Sam and Simon get in the Volkswagen to the hospital as well. Annie was in the waiting room when Julie and the rest of the Camden clan, a few minutes later Hank came into the waiting room telling Annie that David suffered a bruise to the head but should be fine. He also told her that the doctors want to keep him for observation for a few days, Hank also told her that Eric is having tests run on him and is in a slight coma. A few days later David was allowed to come home but Eric was still in a slight coma, Hank visited David a few times to make sure that David is okay. Annie visited Eric when the kids were in school.

"Eric?"

"I hope you can hear me, David will be fine but you still need tests to be run and I want you home. The doctor says they have no idea why you just collapsed but they want to know why, I love you and I'll be back in a bit." Annie tells him.

Annie then leaves for home since Matt was watching the twins and he had a class to go to. The kids visit Eric in the hospital two by two and tell him that they love him and want him to come home because they miss him.

******Eric's subconscious about the Camdens******

"Annie, what do you want me to make for dinner?" Jeff asks.

"How about hamburger helper lasagna."

"Okay." Jeff says.

"Do you want to eat while watching Simon pitch for a no hitter?"

"You bet." Jeff responds.

Dinner was made, Annie and Jeff watch Simon Camden pitch a no hitter into the 9th inning.

"You know I wish Eric were here, I really miss him."

"I know." Jeff says as he kisses her on the head then watches the game.

"I think he would be proud of Matt being a doctor, Mary becoming a counselor, Lucy

being a minister, Simon a baseball pitcher, Ruthie a nurse, and the twins going to Harvard."

"You know, he would be proud."

A few minutes later....

"Yesss! He did it!! Alright Simon!!!" Annie and Jeff jump for joy as Simon has thrown a no hitter.

"I want to go to Eric's grave and tell him that Simon has just thrown a no- hitter."

"Okay."

They both come back to Jeff's house an hour later. Annie then calls Simon to congratulate him on his no-hitter in San Diego playing for the Padres and told Annie that he was thinking of Eric after he threw the no hitter. During Christmas time, Matt, Mary, Lucy, Ruthie, Simon, Dave and Sam came over for Christmas. They all think and talk about Eric and realize that he was a big part of their lives and they didn't really know it until he was finally gone.

"Eric, Eric." A voice is heard.

"I think he's finally waking up." Mary says.

"Dad, Dad." Simon and Lucy says.

Eric then wakes up and sees Annie, Matt, Mary, Shana, Lucy, Sam, Simon, Ruthie and David.

"Give me David." Eric says.

"Hey you, how are you doing son." Eric says to David.

"I'm sorry buddy, I didn't mean to let you go." Eric tells him as he hugs him and kisses him on the head.

The doctors tell Eric that he may have been working too much with little or no sleep and that is why he fainted and was tired. Eric agrees with the doctor and tells Annie he hadn't really slept at all.

Eric then goes home and goes back to work. Julie and Hank came over to see him after he got home.

"Hi, Eric."

"Hi, Julie, Hank." Eric replies as he shakes Hank's hand and hugs Julie.

"Did you really tell Lucy to take Happy out for a walk."

"Yep." Hank responds.

"Thanks for what you did for David and me."

"Oh, it was nothing." Hank says.

"Annie told me about David's injuries, could they have been really serious then a bruise?"

"Ya, it could have but I and everyone else got here as soon as possible and it made all the difference." Hank says.

Later that evening, after Hank & Julie left, the kids were talking to Eric in his room.

"Dad, I'm glad you are okay." Lucy says.

"Yeah, you and David really scared us." Mary adds

"I'm glad you guys helped out your mom, and Hank out when this happened." Eric says.

They all went to bed, Annie kissed Eric, told him that she was glad that he was home and loves him. He told her the same thing then they fell asleep.

We then fade out.....
