A/N: Sorry everyone. I meant to update yesterday, but I hadn't finished the very end of this chapter. Chrios: Well, it's a very nice trait. :) And yeah, I know you can erase the signed ones. Sure, I'll let you know. lol I think there is an e-mail that you can report abusers to. Borg: What a good point, but then again, I probably shouldn't take advice from people who make racially discriminating comments either. These are still your sole opinions, none of which I will take into consideration. (P.S. If this is your "hobby," you really need to get a life.) MG: lol Love the "bloody" line. Thanks for taking the time to review! kursk: Awesome! Thanks for reviewing! Do you happen to be a Nina & Andy fan, by any chance? I am and I'm glad that the show finally took a hint and gave Nina a little crush on Andy (too bad he's completely clueless about it). augy1984: :) I felt it was very fitting for Rose and I wanted to include Julia, but that's a little difficult. So when I thought of the dream, chapter 17 just sort of fell into place. I'm glad you enjoyed it! LucyBethFan1: The "all caps" makes me feel great. I'm really happy that you decided to review again. ;) colorado2: Oh, I know! I really think that Julia should be in the show more often, after all, she was the reason that they moved to Everwood! More flashbacks or something would be nice!

4.18 Doctor, Doctor

----December 24, 2004 (Christmas Eve)----

Sirens blared, as cherry and blueberry lights flashed in a blinding fashion. The Paramedic had Julia in the in the ambulance and he'd asked that Amy and Ephram wait at the porch, momentarily.

Amy sobbed into Ephram's shoulder.

Ephram was half holding his breath and gently running his hands through Amy's hair. His heart was thudding and he didn't know how much longer he could hold it all together. His eyes hurt, but he refused to take them away from the blinking red and blue lights. Not until he could see his baby girl.

A Paramedic made his way onto the porch and gave a sorrowful look to Ephram.

"Wh-what's going on?" Ephram asked, trying to keep his voice steady.

"I'm sorry Mr. Brown, but..."

Amy spun around, as crocodile tears sped down her cheeks. "Don't you dare say it! Don't even think it! My daughter...she's-she's..."

"No, Miss. She's not.." The Paramedic replied, staying calm. "But she's not awake and we need to keep her on oxygen. Her lungs failed her...If you had found her just minutes later, she'd probably be gone."

Ephram felt a large knot form in the pit of his stomach. Julia would have died if I hadn't gotten to her.... He mind was spinning, as his dream replayed in his mind. "Mom."

Amy looked into Ephram's eyes. "What?"

Ephram shook his head. I'll tell her later. He thought. "Can we go with her to the hospital?"

"Of course." The Paramedic replied. "This way, we have to hurry."

Amy and Ephram began to follow the Paramedic to the ambulance.

"Ephram!" Madison called.

Ephram turned around. "Please call my Dad and Amy's parents."

Madison nodded, sympathetically.

Ephram turned back and helped his fiance into the ambulance, then climbed in himself.

The Paramedic shut the door.

Madison covered her arms with her hands, as she watched the ambulance drive away. Then she ran inside, hearing the crying of her daughter. "It'll be okay, sweetie. Julia's gonna be fine." Madison cajoled, as she picked Kelly from her carrier and grabbed the cordless phone, pressing Speed Dial 2. She placed the phone to her ear and listened to it ring, until she heard Andy's voice on the other end.

----

"Hello?" Andy asked, sleepily.

----

"Dr. Brown?" Madison asked, her voice wavering.

----

"Madison? What are you doing up so late?" Andy paused. "And why are you calling so late?"

----

"It's Julia.." Madison replied.

----

Andy felt a small knot form in his stomach. "J-Julia? What's wrong?!"

----

"Ephram found her and she wasn't breathing. I don't know the specifics, but he wanted me to call you and Amy's parents. They're taking her to the Denver hospital." Madison replied.

----

"We'll meet you there. And don't worry about calling Harold and Rose, I'll do that." Andy replied. Before Madison could say another word, he hung up and dialed Harold's number.

----

The line went dead and Madison clicked the 'off' button. She headed into the girls' room, put a coat on Kelly, and grabbed the diaper bag. She walked into the main room, grabbed her coat from the coat rack and her keys from the key ring, then she headed out the front door.

----

"Just meet us at the Denver hospital, it concerns Julia!" Andy replied, urgently.

----

"Andy, what's going on?" Harold demanded, panic rising in his voice. What could be wrong with my granddaughter?!

----

"I don't know, just get Rose and hurry!" Andy yelled into the phone and then hung it up. He headed grabbed his and Delia's coats from the closet and headed down the hall to Delia's room.

----

Harold hung up the dead line. His heart was racing, as he sprinted to his room and flicked on the bright light, instantly waking his wife.

"Harold!" Rose snapped, as she shielded her eyes from the invading light.

"Get up, get dressed, and hurry!" Harold replied, as he slipped on a decent pair of pants, a shirt, and shoes.

"What's the meaning of this?" Rose cried out, angrily.

"Julia's in the hospital! I don't know what's going on, but Andy just called! So hurry!"

"Oh my God!" Rose gasped. She slid out of the bed and hurriedly threw on the clothes that she'd been wearing earlier that day. "Go get Bright! I'll get the car started!" She grabbed her purse from her night stand, containing her keys and her cell phone, then she dashed out the bedroom door.

Harold, at Rose's heels, left the room too. But instead of following his wife, he headed towards his son's old room.

----

Amy held a ragged looking tissue to her face, as she sat trembling in the waiting room. "Wh-what if she-she.."

Ephram pulled Amy close. "Shh...shh.." He soothed. He didn't want to hear that his daughter could die and he especially didn't want his true love to think it. But what if she's right?

----2 Hours Later----

"Are you sure that there is no news?" Ephram asked, as he stared at the woman behind the desk.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Brown, but I'm positive!"

Ephram sighed and padded back to his seat. He wrapped his arms around Amy once again and held her.

"Do you guys need anything?" Madison asked, sincerely. "I could get you some coffee or..."

"Coffee would be great, Madison." Ephram cut in, with a tired look.

"Sure thing." Madison weakly smiled, as she switched Kelly to her other hip.

"Madison, if you want to leave Kelly here..." Andy began.

"Oh, Dr. Brown.."

"Really." Andy repeated.

"If you're sure." Madison replied, as she carefully placed the extremely sleepy baby into Andy's arms. "I'll be right back." She kissed Kelly's forehead and headed off down a hall. Her eyes slowly traveled from corner to corner, processing everything. She shook her head, feeling a strange tickle crawl up her spine. She turned the corner, eyeing a coffee machine in the distance. Looks like somebody is all ready there. She sighed. At least it's only one person. She made her way over to the coffee machine and patiently stood behind the man. He seems to be having trouble. She thought, as she noticed the poor man's hands tremble. She started to open her mouth, when the man turned around. All the color drained from her face, as a gasp escaped her lips. "Wh-what are you doing here?"
