Disclaimer: I don't Morganville…

MPov

I paced back and forth in front of the door, as Dr. Mills was inside with Claire. I was waiting for Eve to show up, but at the same time I was hoping that nothing had happened to Claire.

I tugged at my hair, angry with myself for letting Claire get into that situation anyway. Why couldn't I have had a stronger role? Why couldn't I have said no?

I knew why I couldn't say no. She would have just done it anyway and gone to get herself into more trouble. Most of the time it was better to just agree with Claire than argue with her, I would never forgive myself if something happened to her.

I stopped pacing to lean against wall and bury my face into my palms, hoping that this was all just a dream and that nothing was happening to Claire. I would rather die than let anything happen to her, all she had was try and fix Morganville she didn't deserve this.

"Michael," a voice that I was familiar with called out, from down the hall. I looked up to my beautiful wife, Eve, carrying Elizabeth in her arms. Shane was carrying Sam and wasn't too far behind them.

"How is she?" Eve demanded once she was in front of me.

I shook my head not wanting to explain but knowing that I had to. "I don't know, Dr. Mills just got here and he's looking her over right now," I replied feeling the worry seep into the others as they heard my news.

"Will she be okay?" Shane asked, speaking for the first time. I looked at him and could see the genuine concern that he had for Claire on his face. It was a look that I hadn't seen on his face since before he and Claire broke up.

"I'm not sure, we'll just have to wait and see," I replied looking at the door. Willing Dr. Mills to come out and give us all the news that was killing us. I wouldn't know what to do if something happened to Claire, she was my little sister.

"Uncle Michael," the soft voice of my nephew called out. I looked over at him seeing just how much he looked like Shane while in his arms. "What happened to Mommy?"

Sam was so much like Claire, always asking questions and never being afraid to look for the answers. Not caring if they were going to hurt him in the end. He was so much like Claire than he was Shane's he reminded me so much of when Claire lived with us at Glass House and took us on all of her crazy adventures.

I let out a sigh before telling Sam, "I'm not sure what happened to your mom, kiddo. One second she was perfectly fine in Myrnin's lab, the next second she's calling to me before practically collapsing onto the ground. But I promise you, nothing is going to happen to your Mom."

No one said anything before the door opened and Doctor Mills, walked out the door. "Dr. Mills, how is she?" Shane questioned. Eve and I looked at him, not really understanding why he was talking to Dr. Mills.

Dr. Mills looked over towards me and Eve, knowing that he and Claire didn't talk to each other. I nodded my head to single that it was okay for him to answer Shane.

Dr. Mills let out a sigh as he ran his hand through his hair. "She's stable that's all that I can say. It's difficult for us to determine what's wrong without Myrnin here to help run tests. I could really use his assistance or even the Founder's but I'm on my own," he replied.

I looked down at my niece and nephew to see that they were looking at each other, knowing the two of them they were communicating with each other. They had this weird way of just looking at each other and communicating with each other. It was something that they just did none of us adults really understood but we thought that it was a twin thing.

I noticed Sam give a slight nod before looking up at Dr. Mills. "Can we see Mommy?" he asked, not really sure if he and his sister would be allowed to see Claire. I knew that this was something that they needed to do but I didn't want them to see their mom like that.

"Yes, of course. I'll let you go and spend some time with her," Dr. Mills said. He opened the door and let Eve, Sam, Elizabeth, and myself inside. I looked back to see if Shane was going to come into the room.

"You coming?" I asked wondering if he would want to see her. I don't think he's seen Claire in the hospital since he had given her the promise ring, which didn't exactly go anywhere.

Shane shook his head before saying, "No, I'll just be here waiting. I don't want to bother you guys."

I nodded my head in understanding before turning and walking into the room wanting to see Claire. It was hard to believe that the small figure that I was staring at was my sister in every way but blood. She was all that Sam and Elizabeth had. They were all that Eve, Myrnin, Amelie, Richard, and I had. We all loved the twins and had helped Claire look after them ever since she found out that she was pregnant. I couldn't bear to lose my sister, she meant more to any of us in the world than I think anyone in this town realized.

Morganville had become so much better ever since Claire had moved here. Sure, she had managed to get herself and all of us former Glass House Residents into some sort of problem but we had gained a strong friendship with each other. Shane, Eve, and I had all gained respect and immunity from lots of stuff that happened in Morganville. Claire was the reason that Morganville was better now for everyone else.

If Claire died, the balance of Morganville would forever change again…

Shane POV

I couldn't bear to go inside with Sam, Elizabeth, Eve, and Michael to see Claire. I didn't deserve to see her. I hadn't done anything to earn her trust or respect. I didn't want to see Claire in a hospital bed, again. The last time had nearly destroyed me, I wouldn't be able to survive seeing her like that another time.

I could only hope that she came back to us somehow. Would she ever forgive me for abandoning the two children that we had created together? Would she forgive me for cheating on her with Monica? Would she let me back into her life?

I couldn't imagine losing her… but I had already lost her. I had lost her so many years ago. I couldn't blame her for hating me, I wasn't worth keeping. I wasn't worth her time. I could only hope that she would forgive me, if not now but later on in the future.

A/N: Okay, guys sorry that I haven't updated as quickly… I was really busy with finishing up school. I have just recently graduated from high school and turned eighteen a few days ago. I am sorry for the lack of updates I'm hoping that I can give you guys another update before August is over. I hope you have enjoyed. I'm thinking that I might be ending the story very soon. I'm thinking five to six more chapters for everything to be explained with an epilogue.

I owe a huge thank you to CoureyCollins-Glass who got me to actually finish this chapter. So thank you. I hope you guys leave a review. =)
