"Baby, what if he doesn't make it?" Cecilia sobbed in her husband's warm, protective body. "He'll be fine Cecil," Simon assured her. They were in the waiting room, waiting for Steve to come out of surgery.

He was so small. He was too small to have surgery. He seemed to small to make it. He was only 3 months old.

Simon and Cecilia sat in the surgery waiting room with Jason, Thomas, Keely, Gary, and Mac. Gary and Mac seemed to be with Steve during his surgery. Whenever they cried that day, it seemed as if it was for Steve's pain. When they did cry that day it only pained Simon and Cecilia more. Their baby boy was in pain; they couldn't take that. Keely didn't exactly understand what was going on, but she could feel the sorrow in the room. She just sat by Tommy and Jay. Jason was praying that his little brother would make it. Tommy was comforting his baby sister. Simon and Cecilia were holding Gary and Mac. Sam, Camrie, David, and Colten came too.

Stephen's doctor, Dr. Brown, came out to the waiting room with news. "How is he?" Cecilia asked anxiously as she handed Mac to Simon and ran over to the doctor. Dr. Brown calmly said, "For now, Stephen is just fine, but his surgery's not over yet." Cecilia sighed a sigh of half relief. Then, the doctor received a page over the hospital intercom to come back to surgery. He ran to the room without a word or glance at Simon or Cecilia. That left Simon and Cecilia with a load of worries. Gary and Mac started to cry only making everyone feel worse. Anyone who knew him could pretty much feel Steve's pain even if you were miles away.

"What's going on?" Cecilia yelled after the doctor after he had already left the room. Cecilia started crying back into Simon's arms. And all of the sudden the chorus of the song, "Keep Believing" by Aaron Carter started to play in Simon and Cecilia's heads.

Keep believing, baby

Cuz everything happens for a reason

And though tonight, tears fill your eyes

Don't stop dreamin' girl

I'll be right here to lean on

You're gonna make it through

I wanna see you

Keep believin'

It seemed to have an effect on them because all of the sudden they started to kiss and hug happily. They seemed to know everything was going to be ok, and if it wasn't, they'd still have each other. Cecilia leaned on Simon's shoulder and said with tears glistening in her eyes, "It will be ok, right?" Simon shook his head and said, "It has to be."

Keely strolled tiredly over to her parents with her thumb in her mouth, "Moomy, Dadda, Stevey gonna to be ok?" She let out a big yawn. Simon motioned for her to get on his lap, "Hey Angel, Steve is going to be fine. Come sit on my lap." Keely climbed up onto her father's lap and soon fell asleep. Tommy fell asleep leaning on Jay. Gary and Mac were in the stroller, and they had started to calm down.

Jakecame into the kitchen with a very big smile on his face. "Hey buddy! Why are you so happy?"Kevin asked his grinning son. Jake's smile just got bigger. "Do I have to tickle it out of you?"Kevin threatened playfully.Jake started to scream and run.Kevin chased after him, caught him, and started to tickle his 4-year-old son.Jake laughed, "Ok, ok, I'll well." He hadn't quite gotten the hang of his T's yet.Jake gave a smirk and said, "CanChase come over and play?" "Sure buddy, but I don't want you two playing too rough, ok?"Kevin agreed.Jake shook his head and ran to go get his mommy to call Sarah.

Back at the hospital, a nurse came out to talk with Cecilia and Simon. "Dr. Brown has had an emergency and had to leave immediately," The nurse said. "But he's the surgeon, he can't just leave!" Cecilia screamed at the nurse. "Calm down Mrs. Camden," the nurse begged, "we have a new doctor filling in, and we wanted to make sure you approved of him." "Who's operating on my baby now!" Cecilia asked LOUDLY. "The 'vice-surgeon,' but he should be here any minute to meet you." "Thank you nurse," Simon politely said, "but can you tell us his name." "Oh yes, I'm sorry, his name is Dr. Camden." The nurse said looking at a sheet of paper. "You mean as in my brother Dr. Camden!" Simon asked shocked. "I believe so, yes." The nurse said. "You're not supposed to operate on your own family!" Simon and Cecilia said. "Well, I'll let him speak with you."

The nurse turned and walked away, and Matt came up to them, white coat and all. Simon started to get a half-glare on his face but Matt didn't notice. "I promise I won't let anything happen to your son, or my nephew." Matt said to them. Simon and Cecilia agreed to let family operate on family, even though they didn't feel right about it at first.

After about 30 more minutes they had no news as to what was going on. Then, Matt came out to them. "Simon, Cecilia, I don't exactly know how to say this but," Matt started saying but was cut off by Simon, "If you are about to say he...something bad...stop now because I don't want to hear it!" "Simon, I have to tell you, Stephen has slipped into a coma." Matt said though he would have given anything not to. "You said you wouldn't let anything happen to him!" Simon screamed now crying. Cecilia agreed with what Simon said, but she didn't say anything; she was too sad. Simon embraced Cecilia for a hug, but he was the one that needed the reassurance, not Cecilia. "You said you wouldn't let anything happen to him!" Simon repeated himself now sobbing. Jay, Tommy, Keely, and all the rest of the family that was there saw Simon and Cecilia crying.

"What happened?" Tommy asked his older brother. Jason just shrugged staring at his parents crying. Keely asked them too, "Is Stevey, gonna be ok?" Jason just shrugged again staring at his parents crying. Gary and Mac didn't really do anything. They weren't sleeping. They were awake and they were "talking" with each other. They weren't moving but their "talking" was in a worried tone. (I guess, I mean, how can you determine if an infant is speaking in a worried tone when you can't even understand what they're saying.)

"Simon, Cecilia, I know that you are angry with me, but I can't control these things. You have to understand..." Matt said. Simon and Cecilia didn't listen to the rest. All they heard was, "Blah, blah, blah, blah." Simon turned angry now; if you saw the hatred, anger, and sorrow behind his eyes you would be afraid, very afraid. "If my son d...die...dies," Simon said angrily, then stopped and sobbed. "If our son dies," Cecilia tried to continue for him, "then...then...just..." Cecilia stopped. Matt tried to calm them down, "Guys, come on, have faith, don't lose you're faith. Everything going to be ok." Cecilia sighed, but Simon was still angry. Simon, though still angry with Matt, hugged him. Matt hugged him back holding his head up high. Simon cried on his soldier not having a clue what to do. He wanted to be strong, he needed to be strong, for his family, but he wasn't; he was grieving.

Simon had never felt so bad in his entire life. Not when he had lied at anytime, not when he had accidentally killed a kid, not when he had got his girlfriend pregnant when they were only 18, not when his parents had ever yelled at him, never. He couldn't possible feel worse, unless Steve was to die. Simon would have given anything to be in his son's position, but he couldn't, so he just had to face the facts.

What's going to happen to Steve, will he survive? Will Simon and Cecilia be able to realize what happened wasn't Matt's fault? Will other family members come into the story? So many questions and no answers...till next time!
