Jane woke up to her cell blaring. She looked down to the cell and noticed it was 3am.
Who was calling her this late?
"Hello?"
"J-Jay, M-mom is unconscious"
Jane shot up in bed
"Where are you?"
"Mercy West" Maura replied, pain in her voice
"I'll get Ma to drop me over"
xx
"How is she?" Jane asked as she ran into the hospital room
Maura shook her head "They wont say anything"
Jane wrapped her arms around the girl "Its okay Maur, lets ask one of the nurses when they come in"
Maura sat into Jane's lap and rested her head into Jane's neck
"I found her.. In the kitchen. She was on the floor, completely out for the count"
"Oh sweetheart. I'm so sorry. You must've been so scared"
"I still am Jay... She cant die. Dad isn't home and I-I didn't say goodbye.. She just cant"
Jane ran her hand down Maura's arm "I know baby. Maybe you should call your Dad?"
Maura nods "I should.."
Jane sees that the girl has tears in her eyes
"Maura?"
"How am I going to tell him this?"
Jane takes Maura's hand "Would you like me to call him?"
Maura nods "Please"
Jane takes the cell and walks out into the hall leaving Maura alone with Constance
Maura takes her mother hand
"Mom, please, please wake up. I-I love you Mom. I just... You have to wake up Mom, please"
Jane walks back in "He'll be here within the hour"
Maura nods "Thank you Jane.."
"No problem Maur-"
The doctor walks in chart in hand "Ah Miss Isles, sorry to keep you waiting. Is there another parent or guardian around?"
"Not yet. My father is on his way. But I'd like any information you have if you wouldn't mind"
The doctor nods
"Okay, Miss Isles, I'm afraid the news isn't great. Your mothers Cancer has spread, its travelled to her lungs and thats what caused her to collapse.."
Maura squeezes the Jane's hand as the doctor continued
"The brain tumour is putting pressure on her brain though. This is worrying us. We don't want to operate because of the placement of the tumour but we are afraid if we do not operate the tumour could rupture"
Maura nods "What do you suggest?"
The doctor sighs "Miss Isles, the only chance your Mother has of waking up is the operation. But I must warn you, the operation is full of risks, especially with the placement of the tumour. I suggest you call your Father, we don't have much time"
Maura grabs her cell and calls her Father. How has this turned so horrible so fast?

The doctor walks back in when Maura's off the phone "What's the decision Miss Isles?"
"Operate Doctor, please" Maura says and Jane takes her hand
"Don't worry sweetheart, worrying doesn't help at all. All we can do at the minute is hope and pray that your Mom is okay. Lets just wait and see okay babe?"
Maura nods "Thank you Jay"
"No apology necessary Maur. Now we should get some breakfast, what would you like babe?"
Maura shrugs "I don't mind, you pick"
Jane nods and kisses the girls cheek "I'll run down to the cafeteria. I wont be long"
"Thank you Jane"
"No problem. I'll be right back"
"Okay. Thanks again"
