"Morning Blow"

Shane, Blake, and Dustin relaxed on the couch after hours of playing video games and stuffing themselves with loads of junk food the next morning. The skaterboy rubs his tummy in satisfaction as he caught Dustin smirking at him from across the livingroom. He too, plasters an evil smirk. "Ten bucks says they did it."

The goofball begins laughing hysterically. "Nah uh, dude. No way. Ten bucks says they're only making up."

Blake moved his head back and forth between them as he rolls his eyes in annoyance. The two were debating how far Tori and Hunter have gone after their sudden hook up. With this going about, Blake couldn't help but feel irritated with their immaturity. "Ten bucks if you two just shut up."

"OKAY!" Shane and Dustin exclaims in unison.

Blake looks at them and chuckles. "Ha! You both failed." He looks over to his side and smiles down at Nathan, sleeping peacefully.

"Who would ever thought anyone would see that coming?" Dustin grins as he thinks back on the event that happened last night when Hunter and Tori entered the apartment together, holding hands and making out like crazy towards his room.

"Pshh. I knew they were gonna be back together sooner or later." Shane answers back. "Just like Ross and Rachel from friends."

"Totally, dude! Last night was so much like the Friend's finale!"

Blake thought for a moment and nods. "Yeah. I can so relate you two as being Monica and Chandler. The loving couple." He chuckles in a joking matter.

"Really?" Dustin says as he plasters a disagreeing look. "Man, I'd see myself as more like Joey and you as Monica."

"Cam can be Phoebe." Shane suggested.

"No." Blake nods unsurely. "Cam is more like Ross, the sophisticated one."

Momentarily, Hunter came walking out from his room with a glowing light on his face. He was shirtless and wearing his crimson pajamas. The guys looked up and grinned at him, knowing what was on their minds. "Ha! Ten bucks, man!" Dustin snaps, assuming he won the bet.

"What?! He's half naked, dude. How would you know they didn't do it?" Shane questions back.

Hunter arches his brow. "Uhh...what's going on here?" He asks while eyeing the guys in curiosity.

Blake smirks. "Don't worry about it, bro. They were just betting money whether you and Tori had sex or not."

He couldn't believe what he was hearing as the dirty blonde beams evilly at the two. "What?!"

Dustin and Shane exchange looks before grinning at Hunter. "Well...did you...you know...have a nice night?" They winked.

Hunter nods his head in dismay as he looks down at the sleeping Nathan. "Sorry, guys. But I don't kiss and tell." He picks his son up carefully and headed back to his room, not bothering to hear anymore at what they have to say.

"You mean have sex and tell." The goofball coughs as Shane and Blake snickered silently among themselves. Hunter stops in the middle of the hallway before turning to them.

"I heard that."

Dustin turns his gaze over to Shane and smirks. "They did it." And hands him a ten dollar bill.

Moments after...

"Good morning, beautiful."

The awaken beauty rolls over to the other side of his bed and smiles as Hunter places Nathan on her bedside. Tori stood up, wearing her baby blue tank and white shorts underneath the covers. Hunter stares at her for a moment and plants a soft kiss on her lips. Tori follows his lead as she places a hand behind his neck and pulls him in closer for a more passionate kiss. Their heads moved back at the sound of Nathan crying.

"Great." Hunter groans as he wipes his lips with the back of his hand. Tori looks on with a chuckle as she watches him pick up his child and comfort the little one back to sleep. "I swear this kid doesn't like me."

She smiles in awed. "You know, I could never imagine you being a father."

"Oh wow. Thanks." Hunter thought sarcastically. "Like If I would ever make a good one anyway."

"Don't be silly. You're doing great so far." Tori reassured him as she kisses his forehead. "And I'm sure our little angel up above would be proud to have you as a father."

The dirty blonde smiles back. "Well, you should see Nathan with Blake. He seems more comfortable with him than he is with me. Talk about bad parenting for my part."

Tori laughs. "You're being ridiculous. He's just what? Almost two months old? Give it some time."

He shrugs. "I guess."

The two watched on as Nathan continued crying relentlessly. "Well, I should hand him over to Blake before he drives us all crazy."

"I'll go with you. I have to see this." Tori smirks as she removed the covers off her and headed out to the living room.

At the hospital...

"Dr. Evans, this doesn't look good." His surgeon trainer, Dr. Lee observes Ms. Hanson's history chart and current results of her condition. "I'm afraid it has gotten worst."

Eric Evans fixes his reading glasses and looks over his shoulder. "What do you mean it has gotten worst, Doctor? She was fine yesterday."

"Well, according to what I see here...not only are her red blood cells reducing miraculously, but--" Dr. Lee trails off as his eyes widens, flipping through papers attached to the clipboard. "Oh my God..."

"Dr. Lee?" He calls out to him. "What is it?"

"It's not just her red blood cells being affected, but--"

"But what?"

Dr. Lee slowly looks up at the worried youngster and sighs. "I need you to contact Tori Hanson and bring her in here as soon as possible."

"Doc, what is it?"

"Don't ask questions. Just go."

"Doctor, she is my patient!" Eric exclaims sharply. "I have the right to know."

The surgeon searches his eyes carefully and nods. And with that, Dr. Evan's eyes broaden as his lips quiver in disbelief at what he was hearing. From then on, he immediately rushed out of the x-ray room towards the front desk to get a hold of Tori before it was too late.

Meanwhile, Tori was in the bathroom, staring at herself in the mirror as water drips down her pallor face. She was looking weaker and weaker as days go by, but feels much stronger than before. Although the colors of her physical features were fading before everyone's eyes, her heart still remains unstoppable. She was the same Tori that everyone loved and adored dearly. Nothing would ever change that, nor replace her for that matter.

As she wipes her face with a towel, she spotted a picture of her and Hunter placed on the edge of the mirror. Tori smiles as she lifts it off and stares closely at it. The picture was taken about two years ago during the time they were first together. They were both sitting down with Tori on his lap and her arms around his neck. The two were smiling happily, striking a cute pose. It definitely shows how deeply in love they were...and still are.

Flashback

"Promise me one thing, Hunter?" Tori asks as they stood in front of the breezy waters with her arms around his neck. He smiles back and holds her tightly without ever wanting to let go; for this was a moment to cherish forever.

"Anything." He whispers.

"When there comes a time when I'm no longer here with you..." Tori trails off, searching his eyes carefully. "Promise me you'll let go and move on without me."

Hunter stops and squints. What did she mean by that? He thought quizzically, we're together now. "Well that's not gonna happen..." He reassured her. "Because I won't let anything bad happen to you. And that's a promise."

Tori shook her head and gazed back on the picture. "I wish you hadn't given me such promise last night, Hunter." She sighs deeply when all of a sudden her vision became a big blur. The picture was as if the quality of its prints didn't turn out right, although she could see it perfectly clear just moments ago. Tori was beginning to feel lightheaded as she starts losing her sense of balance, touching anything and everything in there that could help her stay up. The blonde tried hanging on to the towel bar, but the thing couldn't hold her weight as she collapsed and fell on to the bathroom floor in an instance.

[Thud]

Shane looks up at the other guys as the sound caught his attention. "Did you guys here that?" He asks as the livingroom came to a complete silence.

"Hear what?" Dustin arches his brow.

The skaterboy pauses for a moment and nods his head. "Nevermind. I must be hearing things."

The guys shrug their shoulders. "I wonder what's taking Tori so long." Hunter wonders in curiosity.

Dustin splutters a chuckle. "You know girls. They take a long time in the bathroom."

"Yeah, but Tori isn't like most girls. I'm going to see what's up." The dirty blonde rises up from his chair and heads towards the bathroom; being the overprotected guy and boyfriend he is.

Meanwhile, the goofball stares at his direction and sighs. "Boy, I wish I was in love."

Shane and Blake exchange weird looks as they turn their gaze over to him. "You are!" They grumbled in unison.

Dustin scratches the back of his head. "Ah yes. That's right." And smiles at the thought of Marah.

"Hey, Tori?" Hunter knocks on the door. "Are you still in there?"

There was no answer. "Tori?" He calls out again, and receives no reply. Hmm, that's strange, he thought. Hunter was beginning to feel a bit curious as he turns the doorknob, but finds it lock. "Tori?!" He bangs the door once more, hoping this time she'd answer back as he places his ear against it. And still, no response, nor a slight sound of movement coming from the inside. Oh no, he thought fearfully as the dirty blonde senses trouble. Hunter began slamming his body against the door as Shane, Dustin, and Blake came walking towards his way.

"What's going on, bro?"

"Tori is in trouble and I can't get this stupid door to open!" Hunter retorts as he struggles to knock it down. "Shit! Tori!" He yells out panicky as he steps back in a fighting stance. The guys nodded their heads and joined up with him on a straight line. "HIYA!" The four of them shouted in unison as they kicked the door open. Hunter pushes his way in first and stares down at the fallen Tori. "Oh no..." He gasps as he kneels down next to her. "Tori! Wake up!" Her face was ghostly white and lips turning blue. She was still breathing, but was knocked out unconsciously. They had no clue what caused this incident as the guys began to have a panic attack. "Someone! Call 911!" Hunter yells as he lifts her up from the bathroom floor and runs out in a rush.
