Emma picked up the phone to hear her mother's disturbed voice.
" Hello?" she said in a bothered voice.
"Emma did you get my note?" Spike sounded really upset.
"O yea mom I saw it, so when is Snake coming home with Jack?" Emma questioned a bit more brightly.
"He's- he's not Em. He felt really sick while he was still up at the school and he passed out. He-um- we are at the hospital, he- he won't wake up and so here we are… again."
Emma could tell her mom was fighting back tears. She could hear her mothers voice trembling in fear and sadness knowing all the time she was trying to hide it for Emma's sake. Snake's passing out wasn't really a big deal, (except on the rare occasion when he didn't wake up for hours at a time) because his chemo made it happen so often. But that was just it, it happened ALL THE TIME and Emma knew it wasn't anyone one given time that made Spike freak, it was EVERY time, it was the fact that he wasn't showing any signs of getting better, his chemo was not helping. It was all of these thing that made them frightened for his life and Emma knew that if this was kept up, the doctors would suggest something drastic, like SURGERY! Emma shuddered at the thought but she hated seeing him sick, seeing him suffer and she knew that's what it would probably come to, but she was hoping it wouldn't… all of the sudden Emma's thoughts were interrupted.
"Emma? Emma? EMMA!!!!" Spike screamed into the phone.
"Wha-? Oh. Sorry mom just thing about dad. I'm just worried I guess….I'm sorry I must've missed what you said." Emma sounded tired and dazed.
"I SAID that the front office at your school gave Jack to Craig to take home with him so that him & Joey can come pick you up. Then 4 of you can meet me here at the hospital. Ok?" she replied hurriedly.
"Um mom? Can Sean come?" Emma asked timidly.
"Em I don't know about that. This is more of a family thing." Spike said.
"Craig and Joey aren't family." Emma protested.
"That's different."
"No it isn't!" Emma protested again like the activist she was. "We NEED them….for support…just like I need SEAN to be there with me… for support." She reasoned persistently.
"Alright. I understand…just be sure it's okay with Joey got it?" Spike said, exahaustedly giving up.
"Got it! Love you mom! I'm gonna call Sean now."
Spike sighed, "Okay… see you when you get here."
Emma hung up the phone and dialed Sean's number. It rang and rang and rang until finally it got to the answering machine.
A/N: What does Sean's answering machine say (you'll love it its so VERY Sean)? And what happens at the hospital?
