I was really quite in the NICU. All Murdoc could see around was parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles, leaning over beds at their loved little ones, praying that they get better. Murdoc gulped really hard. Russel's heart was hurting for him; he grabbed him by the shoulder, as in reassurance that he was right beside him. "Here we go Mr. Niccals, room 284, bed 5" said one of the nurses. "Thank You" Russel replied for himself and Murdoc. The two nurses then walked quietly down the hallway. Murdoc just starred at the door, as if afraid of what was inside. "Come on man, after you" Russel whispered in Murdoc's hear as his grip on his shoulder tightened. Murdoc shivered as he walked through the door.

There was a distinct smell when he entered the room. It was the smell of illness, medicine, and assorted flowers from previously visitors to the sick children. The smell made Murdoc sick to his stomach. There she was in bed 5; sound asleep. Her head was wrapped in bandages, with wires hanging from her temples connected to a monitor, measuring her brain waves, to see when the next seizure would hit. She was covered in a pale pink blanket, which matched her pajamas. Her chubby cheeks were red and hot with fever; causing a little sweat to run down her head, and over the humps of her cheeks. "Russ, can I have a moment alone with her please?" Murdoc whispered as his voice cracked a little. "O course man, as long as you need, I'll be right outside the door." Russ whispered back. Murdoc pulled up a chair right along side the crib/bed. A leaned over the cold metal bar, along side the bed, began to stroke her head, and the bandage around it. Tears began to well up in his eyes; and they gently landed onto her hot, chubby cheeks. Murdoc gently rubbed the tears off her with his pinkie finger. " Oh, baby……., I wish there was a way for Daddy to make this go away for ya" Murdoc began to sob. " Your gonna get better Emily sweetheart, I promise……Daddy's gonna get the best doctors in England, and the best treatment for ya, no matter how much it cost. It's not like I can't afford it." Murdoc whispered to her; then he gently leaned in to kiss her hot forehead, and burning cheeks.

Russel then entered again followed by Noodle, and 2-D. "Muds, we have more visitors" Russ stated. Murdoc didn't pay any attention to them, he just began to massage Emily Rose's belly. "Oh my god look at her…" 2-D whispered in shock. "Oh Emily Rose…." Noodle had a tear run down her cheek. She went up to Murdoc and leaned over the bar, to massage her hand. Russ had pulled 2-D over to the corner. "D' why don't you take Murdoc down to the cafeteria. Ya know, try to help him get his bearings before he had a melt down." Russ whispered to him. 2-D just nodded, and then it hit him. "Wait….why me?" 2-D replied in shock. "Cause, ya really don't have very nice things to say to each other, and this would be a good time to." Russ replied. "Why can't Noodle do it….he likes her" 2-D stated. Russ just gave him the 'eye'; you know the one that makes anyone shudder, and bow down gracefully, give in to 'the eye'! "Fine…fine…." 2-D waved his hand in Russ's face. "Hey Muds, what don't ya join meh in the cafeteria, ya know, get your mind off things." 2-D asking as he flinched, as if Murdoc would punch him square in the face. Murdoc didn't respond. Noodle leaned in to him "He's right Murdoc-san. Go ahead, Emily will be alright. Me and Russel-san are here for her." Noodle whispered to him while rubbing his back. Murdoc remained starring at his daughter. "Just for a few minutes" Murdoc replied, but before he could leave he leaned over Emily and kissed her all over her face, and hands. "I'll be right back baby." He whispered to her. He shoved his hands into his pockets, and walked out, with 2-D following behind, like a frightened puppy.
