As I entered my parent's bedroom, I turned on the light and there I saw my mother on the bed. I then went up to her to wake her up.

"Mother, are you awake?" I asked.

No reply. I tried to wake her up again.

"Mom. Mom, can you hear me?" I asked, trying to see if she is asleep.

Still silence. But then I notice that she was not moving and not responding. So I got close to her, hearing the slow breaths she was taking. My initial reaction was to leave her be, but my gut reaction was to call 119. I tried one last time to try and wake her up.

"Mom, are you alright?" I asked, my heart now filling with dread.

She was just lying still on the bed without any sounds or movement. I started to panic, and immediately called 119 on my cell phone.

"119, what is your emergency ?" said the dispatcher.

"Ah yes, my mother is not moving after having a couple of drinks." I said, in a panic.

"Is she breathing?" asked the dispatcher.

I listen for her slow breathing.

"She's taking very slow breaths." I said.

"How many drinks has she had?" said dispatcher.

"Uh... 10, I think." I said.

"What is your address ma'am?" said the dispatcher.

I spoke the directions to the person on the phone.

"An ambulance is on the way." said the dispatcher.

"Thank you." I said, hanging up the call on my cell phone.

Thinking I shouldn't leave her side, I texted father what had happened, in that I've called for help.

Soon after the paramedics arrived, they knocked on our door and Jeeves answered.

"Can I help you gentleman?" asked Jeeves.

One paramedic replied.

"We received a call to this location." said one EMT.

I heard the conversation downstairs, I texted my father again to tell him that the EMT's have arrived, and that I didn't want to leave her side.

"Just keep calm, I will handle the rest." my father's text read.

I heard my dad voice talking with the paramedics. The two men walked up the steps and I opened the bedroom door. They walked in and started to check her vital signs. You know, heart rate. blood pressure, etc. I watched them do their job and how things were done, so I wouldn't be too much of a bother. My father was standing nearby, in case they need some more information.

Glancing over at the EMT's bag there was a Hospital Logo saying 'Ootori Medical'.

'Where have I heard that last name before?" I thought. 'Oh, it was Kyoya's.'

"From our small assessment, she's just dehydrated, which can be fixed with fluids. Alcohol tends to drains the body of other liquids, if you drink too much all at once." said the other EMT worker. "You have medical insurance with us, correct ?"

"Yes, her number is *********" said my father.

The first EMT looks up her stored info, on their e-pad.

"Here it is." said the first worker, finding the information, and looking it over. "We'll treat her in the truck, there's no other big reason to bring her to the hospital."

"Thank you." said my father.

Then he looked at me.

"How did you know to when to call 119 ?" said my father.

"It's not rocket science dad. I was reading up on some article on the web, and it showed me how to report a medical emergency in case someone who was not breathing or moving after consuming lots of red wine. By the way mom's breath smelled, she drank a lot of it."

The second EMT worker walked out of the mansion and then brought back a stretcher.

"Alrighty, we'll take her and hook her up to some fluids, and she'll back on her feet." said the second worker.

They both lifted my mother into the stretcher, and rolled it to the ambulance.

"Whew, I helped dodge 'that' bullet." I said. relieved.

"Yes, you did. From now on, both of us will have to curve your mother's drinking, or she'll have to get clean by attending a alcoholic program." said my dad.

"Agreed." I said, agreeing and nodding my head.

After a couple of minutes, my mother walked back to the house, with the EMT behind her making sure she was ok for walking. My father gave them an 'ok' signal to tell them that everything was alright from here. So the EMT workers left and returned to their vehicle.

"What happened?" said my mother, coming back from being out to energized again.

"Mom, you're drinking habits are getting way out of hand." I said. "You were passed out on the bed not moving and barely breathing."

"I was ?" said my mother, confused.

"And both Yuri and I think you should get some help." said Father.

"It's the only thing that keeping me going." my mother said.

Father went over and embraced my mother.

"The thing that's sparked your habit was because I was so over-worked at the office, and not spending enough time with my family." said my dad. "How's about we go out for ice cream tonight, my treat?"

"Yay, ice cream." I said, excited.

"What's the special event dear?" said Mother.

"For Yuri passing her entrance exam." said Father.

"You did? I am so proud of you." said mother, hugging me.

"Thanks mom." said Yuri, sarcastically.

Father had Jeeves send for the limo. As the car pulled up, my father, my mother and I got piled into the vehicle.

"Where to, boss?" asked the limo driver, getting into the front drivers seat.

"The restaurant that's down town." said Father.

"You got it." replied the limo driver.

The driver drove downtown to a restaurant that wasn't too overcrowded.

"Ah, seems not too many people are eating out tonight." said my dad.

"Dad, it's was a last minute reservation, besides we didn't call ahead." I said.

The three of us walked in, and the woman who was handled incoming customers, greeted with a friendly smile.

"Hi, table for three ?" asked the woman, cheerfully.

"Yes please." replied my mother.

She picked up three menus.

"Right this way." said the woman.

"Thank you." said my father.

My parents and I followed her, as the woman leads us to an open table, and placed the menus on it. My parents and I looked at the menus.

'I thought we were going to get ice cream.' thought Yuri. 'but I guess, this is my father's way of saying going out to dinner. May as well order first course.'

'Order anything you want pumpkin. It's your celebration meal, including the dessert." said my father.

For the first time, I really thought things were going to get better between all of us. To add more to my day, I saw Kimie, who was also at dinner with her parents, who then spotted me, stood up, and proceeded to walk over to our table.

"Hey Yuri, fancy seeing you here." said Kimie.

"Hi Kimie, ya just out to dinner with my parents." I said.

"Who is this, Yuri ?' asked my mother.

"My name is Kimie Kakamura, pleased to meet you Mr. and Ms. Kagami" said Kimie, as she bows.

"So uh...are you two in the same grade ?" asked my mother, to Kimie.

"Yeah, in fact. Tomorrow we're both gonna pick what we were going to study." I said.

"Well, I better get back to my table." said Kimie, bowing . "Nice meeting you. See you tomorrow Yuri, remember in-"

"In front of the school, I know." I said, to Kimie.

Kimie walks back over to her table with her parents.

"Sweet girl. How did you meet up with her again?" said my mother.

"I met her when I was about to go to get a fitting for a yellow ladies school academy uniform." I said, putting down my menu. "Well, I finally figured out what I wanted."

Soon the waiter came to our table to take our orders.

"Everybody ready to order?" said the waiter.

"I'll have a glass of white wine-" my mother said

"Actually she'll just have a glass of water." said Father, intervening out of concern for her health.

I ordered a medium-rare 10oz steak with steamed vegetables and mashed potatoes, even though when I could order anything for my special dinner, I decided to not go overboard.

"Your meals will be out momentarily, and I'll be right back with your drinks." said the waiter, as he gathered our menus.

While my parents and I waited for our drinks and food, I had a moment to think about my dinner date with Tamaki on Saturday.

'What am I going to wear? What would we talk about at the dinner table? These things I really don't know, after all it is my official first date. But it's with a guy who I have a major crush on.' I took a deep breath to calm myself. 'Alright...Alright Yuri, calm yourself. You're out with your parents enjoying a nice dinner together, as a family, 'for once'. Don't want to cause a scene. Besides it's only Thursday, I don't have to worry about it tonight.'

The waiter came back with our drinks.

"Here are your drinks, and the meals should be out soon." said the male waiter.

"Thank you." said my father.

While we wait for our meals, my mother was fumbling with her hands, and of course my father is checking his phone. I was waiting, daydreaming about Tamaki and me on a fantasy dream date, filled with romantic candlelight and ballroom dancing, which made me starry-eyed about the idea. 15 minutes later, the waiter returned with our food, and as a family we started to eat.

"Mmm, this looks good." I said.

"Enjoy your meals." said the waiter.

Throughout the whole dinner and dessert, our table was silent and quiet, until it was time to leave. Father paid the check and then we head back out to the our limo. The driver opened the car door and all three of us piled in.

"Thank you daddy, for the wonderful celebration dinner." I said, as I snuggled next to father on one side, and my mother on the other.

"You're welcome." replied my father.

The driver drove back to the mansion. After a few minutes, we arrived back home. I yawned as I walked up the steps. Jeeves opened the front door to welcome us back.

"Welcome back sir." said Jeeves.

I yawned again.

"Why don't you head on up to bed a little early? It is a school night and you need your rest." said Mother. "...and thank you for what you did."

"No problem mom. I'm sorry that you have to resort to alcohol, just to deal with your own issues. It's not a healthy habit, to wallow in booze." I said. "My advice would be to get some help and get clean. I'm not saying it as an upcoming physician, I'm saying it as a concerned daughter. Dad thinks so as well."

"If you really think I should, I'll try my best to get clean." said Mother.

I yawned for the third time, then gave my mother a hug.

"Night Mom, night Dad." I said.

"Goodnight sweetie, we love you." said mother.

I walked up the stairs to my bedroom, got undressed, putting my nightgown on, then I climbed into bed.

'It's good that mom is thinking about getting clean, she needs all the support from father and I to help her get through this...'

I calmed myself down by walking over to my bed and going to sleep, as I start to shut my eyes, I dream of Tamaki Suoh and me together, on a Saturday, on a beautiful date. Let's just hope I don't mess things up...
