PS. I know there is no such thing as 'Razlonical Shock'. I should of probably tooken the time to look up a real type of attack. Considering I'm an ER fanatic you would think I would. But I'm also really lazy and it just popped into my head. Don't hold it against me! :)

 Chapter 10

Back at the manor, Prue had called Willow and the others over. Once they got there she explained about Megan. Willow put a hand over her mouth to keep herself from putting her thoughts on the subject.

"Can we go see her? Buffy, I mean," Angel replied. Prue nodded.

"Let's go."

She took Piper, who was sitting in a chair next to her, by the hand.

"Let me go get Laci, Prue. I think I'll stay at the hospital with Buffy tonight," Willow replied taking her hand away from her mouth and running it through her hair.

"If you're going to stay there all night, Will, you're better off leaving Laci here overnight," Oz replied.

"Okay let me go say good-bye at least," Willow sighed and started walking up the stairs.

When she got to Prue's bedroom she opened the door. She saw the crib that had been set out for Laci once her eyes got adjusted to the dark. She bent over the crib and took the ribbons out of Laci's hair that had held up her little pigtails. She kissed Laci lightly on her lips then rubbed her tiny belly and sighed. She watched her sleep for a little while then she covered her with her blanket and left the room. When she got downstairs she tightened her hold on the sweater that was much too big for her and sighed.

"I'm ready when you are."

When they got to the hospital they saw Buffy sitting, hugging her knees and sobbing on a couch in the waiting room. Willow went to her side and took her best friend into her arms.

"They took her away Willow," Buffy sobbed.

"I know honey, it'll be okay," Willow whispered as she stroked Buffy's hair. A doctor came through the emergency room doors.

"Ms. Summers?" he asked Buffy.

"Is Megan going to be okay?" she asked in a state of panic, not letting go of Willow.

"My name is Doctor Bronze, and it's a good thing you found her when you did. Your sister was going through what we in the medical world call Razlonical shock," the doctor said, sitting on a chair in front of Buffy.

"Wwhat?" Buffy stammered wiping her eyes.

"Razlonical shock is when the body can't get enough air to the heart and brain, leaving the patient in a deathly high feverish state. Your sister's asthma made the whole process worse," Dr. Bronze said wiping his forehead with the back of his hand.

"What causes it?" Buffy asked.

"Well a number of things," the doctor replied. "The biggest cause is a great deal of stress. Have you lost someone close to you recently?"

Buffy sighed. "Our mother died about a month ago, but Megan was the only one that didn't show any emotions."

"Will you explain if you could?" the doctor asked.

"My little sister, Amy, and I couldn't stop crying after she died. But Megan was so emotionless through the whole thing. It was as if she didn't care," Buffy sighed.

"Most people that suffer Razlonical shock in their lifetime are very shy people and keep most all of their emotions contained inside of them," Dr. Bronze replied. "I have to go do one last thing but I'll be back soon so you can go see your sister." Dr. Bronze smiled gently then left.

"That's ridiculous, Megan doesn't keep all of her emotions to herself," Buffy snapped as she snuggled into Willow.

"Answer me this question Buffy, but you have to be totally honest," Prue replied sitting on the couch next to Angel, facing Buffy.

"Okay shoot," Buffy replied wiping her eye.

"When was the last time that you can remember that you saw Megan cry?" she asked. Buffy was quiet for a long while then seemed to panic a little, putting her hand to her mouth.

"Poor Megan," she whispered.

It was 12:30 in the morning at the manor and Paige was awoken by a loud crash outside her window. It was thunder, but 2-year-old Paige was oblivious to most sounds yet.

"Mommy!" Paige screamed, waking Laci up who started screaming at the top of her lungs. Grams was out to the park for one of her 'brisk morning walks.' Amy woke up, startled then woke up Phoebe who was sleeping soundly on her side.

"That's Paige," Phoebe tried to get up but fell back over on the bed as she felt the worse pain she had ever felt before, rush through her head.

"Stay here Phoebe. I'll take care of it," Amy said and hurried to Prue's room. Meanwhile Phoebe couldn't control her nausea anymore and threw up all over the bed. She picked up the phone on her bedside table and called Prue.

Willow had fallen asleep with Buffy's head still in her lap. Prue had fallen asleep on Angel who had fallen asleep, his arms dangling over the side of the sofa. Andy finally gave into sleep as he sat on the other side of Willow and Buffy. Oz sat on a chair that was at an angle so he was closer to his friends. He had a sleeping Piper on his lap. Oz and Buffy were the only two that hadn't fallen asleep yet. Buffy was too full of worry to even consider sleep at that point and Oz had too many things going through his mind to give into sleep either.

"Oz," Buffy began her voice a little hoarse from not talking and her own tears.

"Yes Buffy?" Oz answered not taking his eyes off of his blonde haired buddy, who needed his support most at this time of all times.

"Do you think Amy should know about this?"

"I wouldn't worry her at this point," Oz replied, his tone of voice very monotone. The ringing of Prue's phone made Buffy and Oz jump. Prue awoke and fumbled with her phone.

"Hello?" she said her voice scratchy.

"Prue. Where the hell are you?" came Phoebe's voice from the other end.

"What's wrong Pheebs?" Prue asked, sitting up.

"Prue you need to get home. I feel really sick and the kids aren't fairing well through the rain," Phoebe said sounding like she would start crying at any second.

"I'll be right there Pheebs," Prue said.

"Prue, please bring Willow," then the line went dead. Buffy had given into sleep, her breathing light. Prue got up and shook Willow gently. Her eyes flickered open after a few seconds.

"What's the matter Prue?" Willow asked rubbing her tired eyes.

"Come home with me Willow," Prue said.

"Prue I can't. She needs me right now," Willow whispered sternly through gritted teeth.

"But your baby needs you too," Prue said pleadingly.

"I'll go," Oz said.

"But Oz...," Willow started.

"Will, let me go home with Prue. I can take care of Laci," Oz said.

"Okay," Willow said reluctantly as Oz set Piper down where Prue had just gotten up. Oz gave Willow a long kiss. When they broke apart, their faces still inches apart, Oz looked into Willows eyes and whispered "I love you." Prue grabbed Oz on the arm and drug him out to the parking lot.

"I love you too," Willow whispered, smiling as she snuggled back down, stroking Buffy's hair.
