5 mins later the rest of the team arrives. Horatio comes up and hugs Calleigh and shakes Eric's hand, "what happened guys?"
Frank sat down with a terrified look on his face, "I can't help to think this is all my fault. I took her to the zoo, brought her home and when we were eating brownies she collapsed."
Alexx sat down next to Frank and put her hand on top of his, "Frank did this happen while you took her out or afterwards?"
He put his head down and started to cry, "Afterwards but I can't help to think I did something to make her sick."
She lifted his head up and said, "Frank. None of this is your fault."
She turned to Eric and Calleigh who is sitting on his lap wiping her face, "Calleigh baby, Eric. None of this is your fault either. Remember that. Right now you all need to remember Miranda needs you to be there for her."
Just then the doctor comes in and smiles, "well I can see that Miranda has lots of family that loves her."
Eric rubbed Calleigh's back and looked up at him, "yea we're all practically family. So what's going on with my little girl?"
He puts his head down and says, "I'm sorry to say this but your daughter needs to be kept here for a day or two. We need to monitor her to find out what's wrong with her. If one of you would like to stay over night with her tonight and tomorrow that would be fine."
Nat walks out of the room hysterical and Ryan runs after her and holds her, "hey Nat. Listen, everything will be Ok with her. Miami Dade is one of the best hospital's in the country. We need to stay focused on her right now. She really needs us."
Nat wipes her face and says, "Ryan. I love that little just like you do. I don't wanna lose her."
He holds her tight and kissed her, "Nat listen. She's gonna be fine. She's got a lot of family here that loves her and will do anything to make her better. Right now we need to make sure Calleigh and Eric are Ok. Let's go back in the waiting room."
They hold hands while walking back and Nat hugged Eric and Cal. Eric comes up to her and says, "everything Ok guys?"
Ryan looks up at him while his arm is around Nat, "yea she's just a little freaked about what's going on."
Eric sits next to her and puts his arm around her shoulders, "Natalia listen. None of this is in your control. We just have to hope that she'll be Ok and that there's nothing seriously wrong with her."
The next day Calleigh was sitting in the break room on Eric's lap with his arms around her looking through a photo album full of pictures of Miranda's 5th birthday party, "Eric what if she's really sick? What are we gonna do?"
Eric pulls his arms around her extra tight and says, "Cal listen. She's gonna be Ok. We just have to wait and see what's wrong with her. I'm almost positive it's nothing major."
Just then Horatio walked in the door and said happily, "Eric. Calleigh, the doctor called. He wants all of us at the hospital now."
They put the book down on the table and book it to the hospital.
The doctor comes in and asks all of them to sit down.
Calleigh looks at Eric with a terrified look on her face and asks the doc, "Ok doc so what's wrong with our little girl?"
Nat and Ryan look at each other while Frank gives Horatio a worried look.
The doc looks at Cal and bluntly said, "your daughter is allergic to caffeine. Caffeine is in chocolate which made her heart rate sky rocket."
Ryan puts his arm around Nat and asks him relieved, "how do we prevent this from happening again?"
He smiled and says while leaning forward and folding his hands, "keep her completely off of milk and dark chocolate as well as any drinks with caffeine. If you do that this will never happen again. I'm also gonna provide you with some medication for her to take to prevent this from ever happening again."
Calleigh sighs and hugs Eric and holds his hand, "can we all go see her?"
He smiled wide and says, "yes but only 2 at a time. You'll make her feel overwhelmed and you don't want that after an incident like this."
