The little happy fun fest quickly ended when they noticed that Trenton's lips were blue and there was throw up all around him. Madison quickly called 911, "My baby isnt breathing!"

The ambulance came and gone, and Madison and Ephram were in the ER, just waiting, they could do nothing at this point and they were so helpless. Ephram tried to be strong as all Madison could be heard saying was, "He's only two months old...he's only two months old. I'm a good mother, aren't I? How could I not have seen this coming?" He wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly, it was all he could do to keep from crying himself. Khaki showed up with a somber look upon her face and held onto Madison as well. Ephram got up to go to the restroom, on his way he noticed a room with little kids playing inside with their parents. As Ephram stared, a nurse pointed out that that room was for kids who were too sick to go home, which made Ephram angry because right now he didnt know if his son was going to survive whatever it was he was going through.

Apparently he was gone longer than he thought, when he got back to where Madison and Khaki were, he was completely bewildered because his father was there, talking with one of the doctors.

"How's my son?" Ephram asked the doctor as he tried to ignore his father.

"He's in critical condition, we're doing the best that we can." and he turned around to leave, "We'll let you know the progress when we get it."

Andy tried to hug his son, but Ephram pulled away.

"What are you doing here!"

"I wanted to see if I could help..." replied his father

"What, now you want to help?! You just go from one extreme to the next, dont you dad, first you want to help by getting rid of Madison, now you want to help by trying to be the hero!" his voice quivered as he backed away.

"Ephram..." replied Madison as tears filled her eyes.

"You need to stop this right now" his father said, talking about how Ephram was treating him. Why would Ephram want to though, his father deserves it, doesnt he? This was Ephram's way of thinking of course.

This was too much for Ephram, so he turned and backed away towards the exit doors.

"What are you doing Ephram?" asked Madison as she took a step forward.

He raised up his arms and let them fall to his side as his eyes filled with tears, "I cant be here right now." and he turned towards the door, before he could leave, Madison cried "There is a sick little boy in there, and he needs both of his parents right now!"

Andy said softly, "Ephram, dont be irresponsible"
This put Ephram over the edge, he glared at his father, "Too late for that, huh, dad! I'm only 17, I'm as irresponsible as they come! Didnt you know, I learn from the best!" Before he ran out the door he looked at Madison with a look upon his face as if to say, 'I'm sorry'.

Madison almost followed him, but Andy held her back, "Let him go," he said, "He'll be back, he just needs to be alone."

This made Madison break down and cry, because most of all, she needed him and he wasn't there for her...

About 20 minutes later the doctor came back out and everybody greeted him, "good news" he said, "Trenton is going to pull through." he paused, "the thing is though, we aren't quite sure what caused this to happen, we think it might have been a seizure, but that's all we can tell you at this time."

"Can I see him?" asked Madison with sad eyes.

The doctor nodded and she and Khaki followed the doctor to where little Trenton was. Andy stayed out in the waiting area, he didnt want to intrude.
Trenton's body looked so helpless, so lifeless, laying in the little bed with wires all over his body.

Madison sat down in a chair, trying to take everything in when the doctor continued, "We're going to want to keep Trenton for the next couple days, take some tests and do some routine blood work, see if we cant figure anything out by then. He will pull through though, dont you worry about that."

All she wanted to do was touch her baby, hold him and protect him, but he seemed so fragile at this moment that she couldnt do it. All she could do was hold his tiny little hand and talk to him. It was right then that she realized how much she needed Ephram right now, and how much she needed his support and just to have him by her side. She kissed her son's hand before she and Khaki decided to head back to the waiting room.

When Madison regained her composure and went back to the waiting area, Andy suggested that she call Ephram on his cell phone to tell him the news. As much as she just wanted to kill Ephram right now, she did what Andy suggested.

Ephram found Amy who was still in Denver. When he rushed out of the hospital he called her right away because he needed somebody to talk to. They met at the nearby park, and the whole time Amy was consoling him as he cried on her shoulder.

"I'm a bad father, how could I not have seen this" he said as he wiped a tear from his eyes.

"You're not a bad father, Ephram" she said softly, "things like this happen, as bad as it sounds, things like this do happen." she paused and tried to make light of the situation, "plus, I dont think Madison would want you to say you're a bad father because then that would make her a bad mother and I think she'd have to hurt you for that."

Ephram half smiled.

Just as he was feeling better, his phone rang and it was Madison. He could tell because of the ring tone, the sound of his baby making baby noises, he got the idea from Chris Martin who did the same thing with his daughter, made Ephram want to cry again.

He ran out on Madison, how could he talk to her now? He just stared at it, trying hard not to cry as Amy replied, "Answer the phone, Ephram..."

All he could do was turn it off.

"You do realize, you're only making matters worse..."

Ephram could say nothing, all he could do was sit there.

"This is like a nightmare come true, and it just goes to show how irresponsible I am..."
