A/N: NO FLAMES ABOUT INCORRECT MEDICAL STUFF...IM NO DOCTOR!!

.:FLASHBACK:. "So what's the news? Is Ephram going to be okay?"

"Well..." The two doctor's exchanged glances.

.:END OF FLASHBACK:.

"The thing is, Doctor Brown...well, your son has a brain tumor." As Andy's face fell, the other doctor continued. "We are not sure if it is benign or malignant, or how serious this tumor is. We need your permission to do a CAT scan of his spinal cord and an MRI of his head and, of course, his brain."

As Dr. Brown worked out the details with the doctors, Amy, Madison and Nina looked on in horror. Luckily, Delia was still asleep. As Andy made his way back, the sight of his tears scared them all.

"Well?" Amy spoke up. She was so scared. She never had felt this fear in her life, not even when Colin had been in a coma. The amount of fear scared her terribly.

Andy looked up and wiped away a tear. He cleared his throat. "Ephram...he's got a brain tumor." Madison muffled a sob and Andy put his hand on her shoulder. "They aren't sure of the severity of it, and they are to do a CAT scan and an MRI tomorrow. They gave Ephram some sleeping pills, so he won't awake for some time. I would really like it if you went home, Amy and Madison. Amy I'm sure you're grandparents are worried. Why don't you two come by tomorrow morning, okay?" Amy and Madison nodded, numbly. They grabbed their coats, and Madison kissed Delia on the forehead.

As they left, Madison turned around. "Dr. Brown? I know he probably won't wake up for a while, but if he does? Tell him...tell him that I love him." She wiped a stray tear off her cheek and followed Amy out to the car.
