A/N - Hello, everyone :-D Sorry I haven't been updating anything. I've had a lot going on in RL (school, friends, etc.) But I've got this chapter ready to go and chapter five is in the works. Sorry that this chapter is a little shorter than normal. I had to end it when I did. But chapter 5 will be up tomorrow or the day after.

(For anyone who reads my Wildfire story "Pride and Joy," it'll be updated soon. And "I've Had Questions Without Answers" is gonna be updated after that!)

Congrats to everyone who guessed the song correctly! (I thought it would be easy because we all loved the episode, no?) This one's a little tougher. But just a little bit. So, good luck!

Anyhow, thanks for all the support so far. I love you guys!

Enjoy and review!

Chapter Four...Feels Like I'm Losing It All

---

"Oh, my God!" Sadie screamed, rushing over to her mother's side.

"Excuse me! You folks are going to need to leave." A plump doctor shoved past Sadie, shooing everyone out into the hallway. The young doctor from before ran past the family.

"This is my first day here," he whined, shutting the door behind him.

"Sadie, oh my God!" Jude screamed, eyes wide/ Tom put an arm around his girlfriend, pulling her into a tight embrace. Jude struggled against him, but he wouldn't let go. Finally, she just gave up and cried into his chest.

She choked back a sob. "Tom...they said she was strong!"

"Shhh, Jude..." He stroked her hair gently, trying to calm her down. "She is...Just relax."

"This is all your fault!" Sadie spat at Don, turning her pain into anger and directing it at him.

"Sadie, please," he begged, putting his hands up in defense.

"Just get out."

Don turned to Vic's younger daughter. "Jude..."

She pulled back from Tom, a blank look in her eyes. "I think you better leave," she muttered, not meeting his eyes. Don nodded and shuffled down the hall. When he passed Tom, the younger man gripped his arm loosely.

"We'll keep you up to date," he whispered. Don smiled his appreciation and continued his path down the hallway.

Sadie slumped back against the smooth, cold wall. "I wish I knew what was going on," she complained to no one in particular.

Jude tried to look through the glass in the door, but saw on white lab coats and tubes. She groaned loudly. "We're her daughters! We should know what's going on!"

"I know," Sadie agreed, nodding.

"Jude...Sadie..." Tom began, obviously choosing his words carefully. "They're doing everything they can in there. I think we should go sit in the waiting room until the doctors have anything new to tell us."

"But--" Sadie interjected.

"Sadie, I think he's right. Worrying outside her room isn't going to help Mom. And it certainly won't help the doctors. Especially not that new one." She smirked half-heartedly.

"Yeah." Sadie smiled to herself. "He seemed totally lost." The two shared a quiet laugh, but stopped suddenly as if remembering the state of their mother.

As if on cue, the plump doctor that had ushered them out of the room earlier walked slowly into the hallway. The Harrison girls bombarded her with questions.

"Is she okay?" Sadie jumped in her face, uncertainty in her eyes.

"Will she be alright?" Jude asked quietly.

"Is there anything we can do?" Sadie again, this time with a little more conviction.

"Girls, Dr. Palmer will be out shortly to talk to you," she said simply before walking wordlessly down the hallway and disappearing around a corner.

Sadie's face twisted with anger and confusion. "What do you think that means, Jude?" she asked her sister helplessly.

Jude put an arm around Sadie and hugged her tightly. "I don't know."

The door to Victoria's room opened slowly, revealing the young doctor Palmer, an unreadable expression fixed on his face.

"How is she?" Tom asked calmly, the two girls buried in each other's embrace.

"I'm sorry, girls," he began, looking at the ground. "We lost her."
