I've been thinking that Sara needs a romance in the story. Any specific ships you would like to see? I was thinking more Nick/Sara but I am going to leave it up to the readers 'cause it's you that this story is for. Send in a review and tell me what you would like to see.

'Morning Aunt Sara!' Kate shouted as Sara walked into the room. Leonard, at his sister's loud greeting also woke up and rushed into the bathroom before Kate.

'So you ready for school today sweetie?' Sara asked referring to her backpack sitting in the corner. Kate nodded her head and smiled.

After searching through the small wardrobe, Sara lay out two sets of clothes for Kate and Leonard to wear for the day - A pair of jeans and his favourite t-shirt for Leonard and a cute red and white checked dress for Kate. Jessica was still sound asleep when Sara gazed over the cot and picked her up.

'Morning Jessie.' Sara greeted chirpily. Slowly the infant's eyes opened but were quickly closed again at seeing the bright light. The crying soon started. Sara tried to hush her but the screaming got louder and louder. She tried changing her diaper, feeding her, playing with her but nothing worked.

Kate and Leonard had gotten dressed for school and still Jessica was screaming. So quickly Sara packed the kids into the car and drove to the school. After dropping them off, Sara contemplated calling into work to say she wouldn't be coming today. Instead she just thought Jessica had a tummy bug or something and drove to the kindergarten.

Sara glanced at the clock and realised that Jessica had been crying for an hour, non-stop.

'What's wrong baby? Hmm. Are you ill? Will we take you to the doctors?' Sara spoke softly while driving away from the school. She knew the infant wouldn't respond as she was crying too much but she hoped her voice would calm her down. Once Sara parked the car at the kindergarten, she changed her mind about taking Jessica today.

Driving back home, the crying settled to a loud whimper. 'Mommy, hurts.' Sara glanced in the mirror and saw her hold her neck.

'Shh baby. It will be okay. Mommy will take you to doctor today ok?' Jessica didn't respond as slowly her eyes closed, the crying stopped and she fell fast asleep.

Sara, glad of the newfound silence, let Jessica sleep. When she pulled up the driveway Sara opened the door and unstrapped Jessica from her baby seat. Lifting her up into her arms, Sara noticed that Jessica's neck felt a bit stiff. Not only that but her forehead was red hot. Closing the door over, she faced inside to find a thermometer. Laying the still sleeping toddler on the couch, she took her temperature. 40ºC – way over what it should be.

A few months ago Sara had read about what to do if a child is ill. She wanted to make sure she would know what to do in an emergency. Vaguely remembering what the book told her to do, Sara went and searched out the book. Turning to page 56 she read that Jessica would need a lot of liquids and rest. She also only needs to wear a nappy because of something to do with cooling down. Turning back to the sleeping Jessica, Sara took off her tiny pants and t-shirt.

Once they were removed, Sara froze. She didn't need to read a book to know what to do about this. Rushing into the kitchen she grabbed a glass tumbler from the cupboard and ran back into the living room. She pressed the glass over the angry red rash on the toddler's chest and was horrified to see it didn't go away. One word crept into her mind. Meningitis.

Grabbing Jessica, Sara raced to the car and quickly strapped her into her seat. Driving way too fast, Sara got to the hospital in record time and sprinted into the emergency room carrying Jessica.

'Someone please help. I think she has meningitis!' Tears began to stream down her face as a doctor ran over and took Jessica from her arms. A nurse soon came over to her and took her to a family room to wait. She sat for what seemed like hours waiting for any news just thinking about everything. It was commonly known a lot of children die from meningitis and many more become disabled from it. She hoped to God Jessica would be okay. A payphone sat lonely in the corner of the grey room, and it was only then that Sara remembered Kate and Leonard would need to be picked up from school soon.

Slowly she walked over to the phone and dialled a number.

'Hello,' a voice answered.

'Hi. It's me,' Sara began, hoping her voice wouldn't break. 'I'm at the hospital. Something is wrong with Jessie. Do you think you could pick up the children from school? I don't know how long I will be.'

'Sure Sara,' the voice on the other side continued. 'What's wrong with her?'

'I think she has meningitis, but the doctors haven't told me anything yet.'

'Shit Sara. I'm sure she will be okay. Listen, I've got to go. Call me later when you hear more.'

'Okay. Thanks.' She hung up just as a doctor walked through the door of the family room, his face did not reflect good news…
