One week had gone by. Darek had earned three of his playboys back; however, Jubilee's cold hadn't gotten any better. In fact you could go and say it had gotten worse. She had missed two classes already. Karry didn't know what to think or how to comfort her she had never been sick.
Jubilee was lying in her bed with a wet ragg over her eyes. She heard foot steps running up the stairs.
"DONE foot note and all." Darek saw her. "Are you still lying down? Gees just get up you'll get better."
"Darek." Her voice was horse. "Just take your porn and go, my head is killing me." She went into a coughing fit snd had to set up. Darek sat on the bed next to her. She reached for her glass of water but knocked it to the floor. With a defeated look, she went to stand up to get another one.
"No you don't." Darek pushed her back down, but when he touched her arms.... "Jubes you feel like you're on fire." She continued coughing she covered her mouth. The next cough sent a trickle of blood through her fingers.
"OH MY GOD, DAAAAAAD!!!!" Darek scooped Jubilee in to his arms and ran down stairs with her.

If it wasn't for the fact that her head was spinning and she had the taste of blood in her mouth, Jubilee would be laughing her butt off right about now. Darek looked like a paniced five year old as he ran down the stairs with her in his arms.
"Son what is it?" asked Andrew as he came out of his room.
"Dad Jubes is coughing up blood," said Darek. Andrew spotted the blood on her fingers and nodded.
"We need to get her to the emergency room at the hospital. We'll take my car," said Andrew as he took Jubilee into his own arms from Darek. For a second Darek seemed relunctant to let go, but he complied when his father gave him a stern glare.
"It's not that bad. It's just a bad cough," said Jubilee. It would have sounded more reassuring if her voice wasn't so raspy that you could compare it to scraping metal.
"She isn't going to die like Mommy is she?"
The trio turned startled towards Karry. Andrew's expression softened and he shook his head.
"No sweety Jubilee isn't going to die. She just needs to get to the hospital to get better," said Andrew before walking towards the garage. Within ten minutes he and Darek were driving Jubilee to the hospital. Within an hour they were waiting in the waiting room. Jubilee was in Andrew's lap with her head leaning on his shoulder. She was now sweating and extremely drousy. Darek was outside doing who knows what. Most likely taking out his frustrations on a traffic sign with his berserker rage.
"Wolvie..."
Andrew looked down to see Jubilee staring at him. The girl looked extremely vulnerable. And she was most likely delirious and mistaken him for that Logan fellow.
"Yes Jubes?" asked Andrew, deciding to play along.
"....I'm sorry,"
"For what?" asked Andrew just to keep her talking. If she kept talking then she would wouldn't fall asleep. The nurse said to keep her awake while she got a doctor.
"For not being.. perfect.. you know like Jean. If I was perfect... you wouldn't have...," muttered Jubilee. She didn't finish, but instead closed her eyes.
"Jubes?! Jubes stay awake! Please stay awake honey," said Andrew as he began shaking Jubilee a little. Her fever was rising, he could smell it.
God its just like Gloria all over again. The blood and.. don't think about that Andrew.
"I NEED A DOCTOR NOW," roared Andrew as he stood up with Jubilee in his arms. The beast in him was taken over and it took all his will power not to pop his claws out and start shredding whatever was nearby.

"It's mild Pneumonia." The doctor Stated. "One lung she'll be fine once her fever breaks. Are you her father?"
"No she's my tenant." Andrew said.
"I suggest you alert her family."
"Oh no I completing forgot they will be worried."
Andrew went to the pay phone and dialed home.
"Granpa, go up to jubilee's room and find her address book."
Andrew waited.
"What am I looking for?" Grampa Asked.
"Try 'home'"
"There is no home there, there's 'the mansion' , um 'Gen X'? But there's a card here that says 'Dr. Henery McCoy.' on the back it says 'Hank's Cell'."
"That could be her Family Doctor give me that number."
