A/N: fiveofan thanks for the idea for this chapter since was stuck where to go

"I don't know but Gracie was looking for you something about sand castle contest," he watched him run off and headed inside to find her hanging up and could tell something was bothering her. "Cath, you okay?"

She sighed, "My mom called from Trippler and said my father isn't doing to good anymore and think would go and see him tonight."

He kissed side of her head, "Want me to give you a ride?"

She shook her head wiping at her eyes, "No, will only be gone a few hours. Think can hold down the fort for that long sailor?"

He kissed her once again, "Think more than can even with everyone here."

Catherine had pulled up to Trippler Hospital that was on Pearl and once getting directions from someone at the front desk she headed to the room where found two of her brother's standing outside of the room, "Damien?"

He pulled his sister into a hug, "Nice to see you made it. How you holding up Catherine?"

She wiped at her eyes, "They figure out anything?"

"Their running some tests right now but not sure but think might have been a heart attack."

They sat around the waiting room for sometime and soon she had fallen asleep with her head on his shoulder until their mother walked into the room and they could tell something was wrong because of the look she had, "What they find out?" Liam asked.

She sat across from three of her kids, "Waiting for some more test results."

A while later a man in blue scrubs walked over seeing most of them had fallen asleep from waiting so long. He had recognized the name and figured would be the one to break the news as he tapped Catherine on the shoulder, "Catherine?"

She opened her eyes yawning to see one of Steve's oldest friends that had treated him far more times than any other doctor and actually could get him to stay to get treated, "Travis, what-"

He stopped her, "I am actually treating your father but if want to follow me," she followed him a little down the hallway. "When saw the last name and rank recalled that Steve had mentioned your father was still in the military."

She leaned against the wall, "So what they find out?"

"I am sorry but it was a server heart attack and am not sure that his heart will make it much longer," he told his friend. "We have given him some medications to try to help strengthen it but not sure that will work at this point. He's back in his room right so can see him."

She wiped her eyes nodding, "Thanks for that."

He pulled her into a hug, "Just let a nurse know if need something they can help or easily find me."

Her Liam pulled her next to him so slid into a chair, "Am sure pulled you away from something important..."

She yawned again smacking his shoulder, "A party with the team but wouldn't miss being here. Where is Tommy?"

"Off somewhere with his unit...still trying to get ahold of him."

A few hours later, Travis had called time of death and after making sure that the family had some time alone he walked down the hallway and pulled out his phone and dialed his friends number figuring he would still be awake and waited, "Hey Travis, what's going on?"

He told his friend what had happened, "Thought might want to know."

"I will be there in a little bit am sure Bryan will be more than happy to watch the boys for a while," he said and after talking to his brother he headed to the hospital and found her leaning against her oldest brother and when she saw him she walked into his open arms. "Cath, you doing okay?"

She buried her head into his chest crying so he leaned against the wall nearby, "Just not..."

Damien walked over patting him on the shoulder, "Should take her home but once we know about what my mom wants to do with the funeral will let you know."

Liam rubbed a hand down her back taking her keys, "Will drop the car at your place as drive her home."

Bryan was sitting at the island when they walked in and didn't say anything until after his brother came back down with baby monitor, "Everyone said goodbye not to long after you split out of here so fast but what's going on with Catherine?"

"Her father passed away a little bit ago so just watch out."

The teen gave her a hug, "Sorry about your dad."
