A/N- Sorry for the slow updates- I had about four chapters for both my stories written on my iPhone notes but my phone is totally dead so I'm working my way back through.

Please review etc, it really helps a lot x

Carrick and Elliot met Jade and Luke at the airport when they cane back. Both of them were incredibly tanned and holding hands as they came through with their luggage. Jade ran to them both and hugged them tightly, Luke opting for a handshake and manly embrace instead. Carrick was talking to Luke in front as they walked through the airport and Jade fell into step with Elliot behind them. 'So, you got bored of him yet?' she laughed 'not yet!',

'I think the last time I saw you this brown you'd been in Israel for a year. I thought you'd have been in your hotel room all the time- I thought that's what Honeymoon's were for?'. Jade shook her head in despair 'depends if your a sex mad lunatic like yourself' 'point taken' he smirked 'by the way, your dad is meeting us back at Escala, he's been so busy this week he couldn't get time off until later'

Christian, Ana, Grace, Carrick, Elliot, Mia, Jenny, Lexa, Rory and Callie Sawyer, Taylor and Gail were all spending the evening with the newly returned couple, being filled in on their adventurous Honeymoon.

Jade had explained that she felt a little unwell and allowed Luke to do most of the talking, taking a backseat in the conversation and sipping water slowly.

Midway through some conversation Jade stood up, feeling a little dizzy and Christian glanced at her 'are you alright?' she nodded 'just a bit of head rush'. She knew how to lie to him effortlessly and he accepted it, not questioning it any further and she left the room, heading for the bathroom in her old bedroom.

Jade closed the door behind her and held the sink tightly, shaking slightly as she looked at herself in the mirror. She was pale, drawn and her pupils were clearly dilated. As she looked in the mirror Jade tried to breathe slowly and calmly but felt a wave of nausea rise through her and promptly threw up into the toilet, shaking even more.

Jade flushed the vomit away, washed her hands and wiped away some of the involuntary tears that were rolling down her cheeks.

Christian had noted that Jade was looking a little pale and was quiet through the evening but believed her excuses about feeling run down after the whirlwind three weeks. It was late in the evening when everyone left, letting Luke drive his sleepy looking daughter home to their apartment.

Luke came back into the bedroom with a mug of tea that Jade had asked for. In the time it had taken him to make she had fallen fast asleep fully clothed on the bed. He smiled and tucked a blanket over her, deciding to leave her where she was and sleep on the sofa instead.

Jade woke up feeling awful. She had a splitting headache, uncontrollable sneezing and a dry, raspy cough. Luke was awake before her and made pancakes with bacon and maple syrup, bringing them to her in bed and they sat in bed eating breakfast and watching tv. When she finished Jade curled into Luke, who gently stroked her hair 'at least I don't start work again until tomorrow, so I can look after you'. She smiled, though she coughed chestily before she managed to speak 'I can look after myself Luke'. He glanced down at his wife with her pale face, flushed cheeks and red nose 'sure you can, just let me do it alright?'. She vaguely nodded and he realised how ill she must have felt if she had give in to him that easily.

For the next three days Jade had lived out of her bed and stayed in her pyjamas. Luke had had to go back to work but had returned at least twice a day to check up on her, texting her through the day also. Jade hadn't gotten any worse but hadn't got any better either, still holed up in bed and living off lemon and honey drinks, junk food and intermittent sleep.

After a few days of being ill, Gail had heard about it from Luke and called Jade. It didn't matter how many times she said she was fine, Gail pretty much forced her to come round.

Christian came back from the office at lunch to collect some files to take back and give to Ros for a presentation in the morning. Taylor was still at Grey Enterprises, Luke was with Ana at her office and he saw a note from Gail that she was out at the store with Ryan. Christian hummed to himself as he went through the apartment and stopped, seeing Jade curled up on the huge sofa in her pyjamas with a blanket, tissues littered around her. 'Hey Dad' 'uh...not that I mind but why are you here?'. Jade coughed loudly 'Gail heard I was sick and forced me over to look after me like when I was a kid'

Christian couldn't help but smile at Gail's motherly instincts 'you want some soup? I'll make some- well I'll heat some'. Jade managed a weak nod and Christian moved to the kitchen area and microwaved some of Gail's chicken soup.

In the five minutes it had taken Christian to return, Jade looked even worse, struggling to keep her eyes open and she struggled to lift her arms towards the soup bowl. Christian took on the CEO voice and put the bowl down 'right, executive decision, you're going to the hospital, this isn't right'. Jade muttered something and he simply gave her a look that told her there was no point arguing. Christian watched as Jade struggled to stand and swiftly picked her up in his arms, walking directly to the lift.

Christian had never driven so fast with Jade in the car, usually he was especially careful but by the time they had left the Escala car lot she was struggling to stay conscious. On his handsfree headset Christian did a three way call between himself, Taylor and his mother. Grace was organising doctors to meet them at the hospital entrance and Taylor was going to get Gail to drive Luke to the hospital- he didn't want Luke doing anything rash and causing more problems.

As Christian pulled up at the hospital he didn't bother with parking properly or even turning the car off. He ran round and pulled Jade from her seat and into his arms, where he took her unconscious body into the main entrance, where his mother, two doctors and a nurse were waiting for them.

A male doctor took her quickly from Christian and he followed at a breakneck speed as she was placed in a waiting bed, Christian didn't even realise the words 'E.R' on the door. The doctors were moving quickly over Jade, checking, testing and measuring her, talking quickly to each-other. One of the doctors looked up at Christian 'when did this start?' 'she's been feeling rough for a few days. I didn't- we didn't-'. Grace put a hand on his arm 'you weren't to know- you need to step outside. You don't want to watch this'

Luke, Gail and Taylor arrived not long after, hurrying to Christian who was pacing in the corridor. 'Christian where is she? What happened to my wife?'. Before Christian could tell him that he'd heard nothing, the head doctor came out of the room, looking over the small group.

'Mr Sawyer? Can you come in here please? Your wife is asking for you'
