Danny took Stephanie's temperature.

"102 degrees, I think we should take her to the doctor's."

Jesse and Joey walked into the bedroom.

"Is Steph alright?" questioned Joey.

"I don't think so. Here, help me take her to the car."

Joey lifted Stephanie up while Danny went to get the keys.

Downstairs, Becky was shivering also. Nichole's head on her lap and Alexandra piled on Nichole.

When Jesse followed Danny and Joey, he stopped to notice his wife's distress.

"Honey, are you alright?" he asked taking a seat next to her on the couch.

"Huh? Oh! Well, it's snowing outside and I'm happy, but it's really cold once it snows here." Becky gave a faint smile.

Jesse tried to smile back too.

"Well, something's wrong with Steph so I'll be at the hospital if you need me."

"Ok."

A quick kiss and off he went.

"Mommy?" Alexandra woke up rubbing her eyes.

"Yes?"

"Is Stephy gonna be ok?"

Becky pulled her daughter close to her.

"I really hope so,"

Nichole stirred awake.

"Can we play in the snow now?"

"No sweety, it's too cold outside."

Nichole's hand formed a fist and hit it across her knee "Oh great!"

"Mommy, why does everyone have to be so sad?" asked Alexandra. Who was more interested in the subject of family than snow.

Becky gave that question a thought before answering.

"Let's just say, Christmas is usually a holiday when everyone's happy and carefree."

Silence.

"But things are different this year. San Francisco's really cold. Some people are getting sick."

"Like Stephy?"

"Yes..."

Jesse barged through the door.

"The car won't heat up and Stephanie's getting cold again."

"I'll go get some coats or blankets." suggested Becky.

She placed Alexandra aside.

Nichole took her sister's hand.

"Come on, let's go make Stephy a get well card!"

"Great idea!"

They ran to the kitchen.

"I wish Stephanie can be happy right now too." Jesse said to himself.

Becky came back with a blanket.

"Here, Jess, keep her warm and make sure her fever doesn't get worse."

Jesse kissed her forehead and patted her shoulder.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of her."

Jesse steps out with the blanket. Hurrying to the car as fast as possible.

Joey opened the door for him.

"Thanks buddy." he said.

Joey nodded, taking the blanket and spreading it over Stephanie.

"Poor kid, can't even enjoy the holidays without getting ill."

Danny drove to the hospital. Mostly sighing.

When they got to the hospital, checked in, and waited.

A nurse walked up to where the Tanners were waiting.

"Dr. McGuire's ready to see you now."

"Thank you." Danny replied.

Stephanie had woken up a little from the car ride and limped with her dad's help to where Dr. McGuire was.

A woman that appeared to be in her late twenties with chocolate brown hair gave a welcoming smile when she saw Stephanie.

"Happy holidays. What seems to be the problem?" asked Dr. McGuire.

"Stephanie's temperature is up the 102 degrees." answered Danny.

The doctor nodded "Yes, people are getting sick from this unusual weather here in California."

"You mean it's all over the state?" asked a surprised Jesse.

"Yes."

"No wonder."

"Though I'm pretty sure it's not serious, it could turn out that way if you decide to leave it."

Jesse gave an annoyed sigh.

"Obviously, that's why we brought her here."

"Well alright, let me check."

The three men stepped outside and waited.


A/N: Yes yes, this is a double update. It might be triple but it's getting late and I can't concentrate that way.
