The four sat in the hospitals waiting room. Manny had her head on Jay's shoulder, even crying silently herself. Linda was such a good women, why was this happening to her?

Emma curled up on one of the chairs, holding herself in sadness as her eyes stayed on Sean. She was worried about him, worried as hell for Linda. She felt something run down her cheek and quickly whiped it away.

Sean sat on the other side of his friends, his eyes on the floor and leaning forward impatiently and looking unreadable. But his eyes, they held pain, worry and fear.. and a ton of anger.

The doctors were taking too long. Finally, when Doctor Gibney came over, they all stood up when they saw Sean bolt up and go over to him

Gibney put his hands up, noticing Sean's usual tense vibe, "It's okay, it's okay." he insisted.

Sean shook his head madly, "It's not okay." he spat at him, "What's happened?!" he shouted. If having to punch a doctor was what would get answers, then so be it. They took his mother on a stretcher hours ago, and didn't even come back to say if she was okay.

Was she okay? Where was she? Was she breathing?

"Sean." Jay said, watching Sean take that threatening step forward and Sean felt a hand on his arm to try to hold him back. Even the Doctor stepped back a little fearfully.

Sean looked back, but it wasn't Jay's hand, it was Emmas. Hurt, pain, sadness was running through him, and he stared down at her hand untl he took a deep shakey breath when he looked at her...she gave him that look, and only by that one look she could calm him down in seconds. His chest caved in and he licked his lips and tried to take a deep breath again as he turned back to the doctor.

"She's okay?"

Gibney nodded, "She is. She's sleeping now. Had quite the fall but it's okay." he looked down at his charts, "You can come back in the morning, and we'll sit down with her while I explain what happened."

"Tell me now." Sean said through gritted teeth. The cancer, it tried to take her away, didn't it?

Gibney gave him a look of sympathy but shook his head no, "I had direct orders from your mom the last time she was here to not inform you of these things without her unless she was really in serious danger.."

"You don't think that was her in serious danger!?" Sean's voice raised, and echoed. People in the hospital looked over and Jay finally stepped forward, grabbing Sean back.

Manny and Emma now stood with the Doctor, "We can stay." Emma insists, "it's no problem."

The Doctor passed her a small smile, seeing she only cared and seemed like she may of been with Sean.. she was a sweet girl, but she didn't know what was going on.

"The best thing to do, honestly?" The doctor said, glancing the way Jay took Sean, "Is taking him home. He needs the rest too. He's in here every time she comes in."

Emma's heart broke, glancing back at Sean over in the corner, pacing around since he was taken away. EVERY time he came with Linda? Every visit, every emergency?

"He's not going to leave.." Emma said matter of factly.

The doctor eyed her and glanced at Sean again, seeing him glancing back at them too and wondering if Emma was getting more news from the Doctor than he did. She was good that way. She took care of things for him. The doctor noticed how Sean looked at Emma. .

"I think you convince him." he honestly said and just nodded merely before walking away.

Emma stared off, watching him go until turning to Manny. Manny rubbed her hand on Emma's shoulder for support as Emma wondered why the Doctor thought that. The girls finally turned back to the guys and walked over.

Sean stepped forward when they did, "She's okay?"

Emma smiled sadly, "She's okay, Sean." even though it was said 100 times, Sean finally took a deep inhale when she said it. He nodded, looking down but a bit of hope back in his eyes.

"We staying here?" Jay spoke up and pointed down the hall, "There was some extra blankets we could go run and get." he offered.

"No.." Manny drifts softly, glancing at Sean, "It's best we do go, leave Linda to rest."

Sean shook his head no until he saw Emma nodding and looked at her almost betrayed like until she explained, "Sean, if anything, she needs rest and not to have stress...and I'm sorry to say but you'll stress her out by how worked up you are."

Sean's shoulders dropped, looking defeated. That was true. Emma's hand lifted, and cupped one side of his face as he stared down upset. Her fingers slowly traced his cheek and whenever she did this before, he always seemed to melt and soften up..and he did so still. She had done it when he got out of prison too years ago.. it really made him feel better.

Manny and Jay shared a look, and glanced at the two wrapped up in a moment. Sean finally surrendered, and following the three out of the hospital and back home. He'd see his mother first thing tomorrow.

First thing.

When they got into the trailer, it was 2am. . still dark out and raining. It was quite as they stepped in, only hearing the echos of the rain dropping against the walls and outside. Manny and Jay took the couch, letting Sean have his room.

He had went to the bathroom first, slamming the door behind him. They all jumped, and glanced at Emma who sadly looked at the door he was behind. She then snapped out of it and whispered, "Be right back."

She went to his room to grab some of her things, and while in there, she fell onto the end of his bed. Tears began to threaten her eyes and they began pouring until she sucked in a loud shakey breath. She couldn't cry. Not infront of him. She was suppose to be strong for him. She whipped the tears and though her eyes still puffy, she tried to be okay.

She couldn't imagine her in his place, with her mother. Her eyes then dropped to her phone on the bed and slowly grabbed it. It sat in her lap, and she stared at the text messages. Spike had texted her at least 5 times today. She laughed sadly, sniffling slightly and went to text back. She was being silly about this situation with her mother, this was nothing compared to what Sean was going through. When she went to text, she stopped, she heard Sean coming in and she looked up seeing him already standing there in the door way. His shoulder leaned on the doorframe and he looked at her with his teary eyes that he kept there so well and fought from falling. He clenched his jaw and came in, shutting the door behind him.

Emma sat up, a little surprised he wanted her to stay there with him but didn't object. He dragged himself over to her like a zombie and he fell back against the end of the bed from on the floor, by her legs.

Emma whipped another tear that fell, and his head tilted and leaned on her knee, and he closed his eyes. She saw one tear slip from his eye and it wasn't every day you saw Sean Cameron crashing down. Her heart tore to bits and her hand raised out to carress his hair. With the feel of her fingers carressing through his hair, he closed his eyes more and one of his arms went around her legs, laying his head more in her lap and letting a few more cries out as he clenched his teeth from the pain in his chest and stomach.

Emma whispered things to him as he trembled and held on tightly to her, his eyes shut painfully and head on her lap. She kept carressing him and trying to whipe his tears with her thumb, and when an hour had gone by, making it 3am, he finally just laid there still like, eyes emotionless but Emma still comforting him.. fingers slower but still tracing over his head.

She was tired too, but she'd stay up with him forever if he wanted her to. She suddenly sat up a bit, looking up with big brown eyes like a deer in the headlights when Sean had stood up. He sniffed a bit but had a harder look on his face, going to his dresser and just ruffling through it as she sat there, mouth fallen a bit. Was he going to be okay?

He stared at his hand on his dresser, staring at the ring on his hand. That was 'their' ring. They were suppose to be together. Her being here but not really with him was as gut wrenching as his mothers accident. How can she be here, like this, comforting him the way she was without feeling for him back? How? This couldn't be like this, they had to be together.

Sean turned and Emma looked up as he came walking back to her and sat next to her on the bed. When Emma thought they were going to have more silence, she turned her head to look at him just as he did to look at her. He got lost in her eyes, and hers softened seeing that look. He looked at her as if she could make everything better, but she really didn't think she could.

He leaned his head in closer to hers and his lips locked with hers as he turned her head with his index finger.

"Sean," she protested against his lips, putting her hands on his chest to push away but he then kissed deeper, his hands cupping the sides of her face then slid to the back of her neck when she went to pull away. She whimpered a bit and tried to stop it but her lips moved with his in a familiar reflex kind of way but it was also heartbreaking. She wondered if he needed her or just somebody.

God he always such a good kisser. He sighed between the kiss in bliss, and desperately ran his hand through her hair, missing the way it felt between his fingers and pulled away from the kiss breathless, still carressing it as their eyes stayed closed and they panted. Happiness electrified through them.

Emma yelped a little after he stood up and stood infront of her, he leaned down and immediately slid his hands under the back of her thighs from on the bed, then lifted her up and off it, into his arms. She looked down at him, her hands on his shoulders and legs slightly wrapped around his waist. He smirked a little to her surprised shriek and carried her towards the shut door with no struggle, leaning her on it and began to nuzzel her neck.

"Sean," she protested again, throwing her head back with eyes closed as he kissed down her neck and then went to her spot on her collar bone, knowing it was her weakness as she moaned out loud when he sucked on it.

Thunder cracked outside, snapping her out of it but not Sean, he was too wrapped up in her and inhaled her scent of vanilla. His hands went from her hips to slowly pushing her tank top up her toned body.

"Stop." she finally whispered, but didn't pull back. Their eyes met when he looked back up, and his eyes almost dared her to make him stop as his hands slowed down but still stayed under her shirt, his fingers trailed around her ribs and he also gripped her curves before he went back to trailing and she trembled right there. He always knew how to set her on fire...but this? This wasn't right. Linda was in the hospital, and he was a wreck. She wasn't sure if he was just using her for some sort of way to feel better, or if he really wanted her.

She licked her dry lips, her heart pounding and body tingling, "Down." she finally choked out. She avoided his eyes when she saw that pain back in them. He slowly did so, and she slid down his body til back on her feet and slowly backed up more against the door since now it was harder being so close to him. He was still catching his breath a bit but staring at her until he nodded.. he understood, she didn't want him.

"Fine." he said rather coldly. Her eyes connected back to his, her heart falling. He turned from her, hiding his hurt "It was a mistake." he muttered, walking back to the side of his bed.

Emma stood there, mouth gaped and eyes twirling in agony and discomfort at once. He laid on his bed now, back turned to her and she ran her shakey fingers through her hair as she blinked and turned, leaving the room slowly but then bolted after she closed the door behind her.

Sean laid there, eyes open and trying to hold his anger down. He sat up when she left, closing the door behind her and he grabbed the ring on his finger madly, ripping it off and threw it harshly where she once stood. . .where they last kissed. It dinged off the door, putting a small dent in it and it fell to the ground spinning.

"Em?" Manny whispered as the blonde came out into the living room and dove by, sliding the front door open and just ran out even if it was raining.

Much of a dislike to rain, Manny huffed but grabbed Jays jacket anyways, slipping it on and running after her best friend.

That night, Sean couldn't sleep.

Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever

What do I gotta do to get you in my arms baby
What do I gotta say to get to your heart
To make you understand how I need you next to me
Gotta get you in my
world
'Cuz baby I can't sleep

(have you ever-Brandy)
