JANE

Tom had just finished filming and tonight was the wrap party. Tom was so excited and pleased with how it all went, he had such a great time on set of this film.

You were in the bedroom getting ready for tonight. It was proving to be quite the task.

You have been hiding it as best you could from Tom, but this past week you'd felt really quite ill.

You had no energy, your breathing was more labored, no appetite, the list goes on.

It was his last week of filming and you didn't want him to worry, you were going home tomorrow anyways so you could go see Dr. S right away if needed.

You were sitting on the bathroom sink trying to steady your breathing after dressing and doing your hair. Suddenly Tom is at the door.

"Jane are you alright? You've been in there quite awhile now." He sounds nervous.

You take a deep breath and push off the counter, putting on your best brave face. "Yes sorry, I had a difficult time with the zipper on my dress. I'm ready now though."

He looks you up and down with a smile but still some slight concern in his eyes.

"You look gorgeous, but are you sure you're alright? You look a little pale."

You simply nod and step around him to grab your clutch. "Yeah I'm fine."

You arrive at the party, already exhausted and the night hadn't even begun. You walk with Tom as he introduces you and mingles. After a little while you feel a little weak in the knees. You start looking around for a place to sit. Once you do you tug on Toms sleeve gently to get his attention.

"I'm going to go over there and sit down for a bit. Is that alright?"

He turns from the man he was speaking with and puts a hand on your cheek. "Are you sue you're alright, love? Do you need to go home?"

You turn to kiss the palm of his hand before taking it from your cheek and holding it in yours. "Yes I'm just a little tired."

His lips form a straight line. "We will leave soon. Go rest."

You head over to the table and pull out a chair, practically falling into it.

You take slow deep breaths and lean back. Trying to relax.

You feel light headed and cold. You begin rubbing your arms for warmth.

Suddenly Tom is beside you wrapping his coat over your shoulders, it swallowing you.

He lends you his hand helping you out of your chair. You want to protest, but you're too tired.

He wraps an arm around your waist, leading you through the party saying goodbye as you head toward the car.

Once you're in the car he looks at you seriously. "Jane, what's the matter?"

You let out a sigh. "I haven't felt too well this past week. I'm sure it's nothing. I didn't want to worry you on your last week of work and we were going home soon anyways. I'm sorry, hun I can wait in the car for a bit if you still want to stay."

He shakes his head, a small laugh escaping his lips. "You are unbelievable. Both sweetly and foolishly. I care more about you then a few days of work or a party. Please do not keep things from me. I love you far too much to let you being sick ruin anything for me. I would much rather you be cared for than worry about a work schedule."

You nod and lean back in the seat. Pulling his coat around you tighter as he starts the car.

Suddenly you're aware of Tom carrying you into the house.

You open your eyes and look up to him as he sets you down on the bed. You just lay there, not wanting to change out of your dress until a chill runs through you and you shutter.

Tom goes to put a hand to your forehead, frowning as he takes his hand away.

"You feel rather warm, love. You get changed and I will be back with something for that fever."

You nod and stand on wobbly legs and head toward the suitcase with a set of sweats sitting right on top. You struggle to get the dress off, you have to head back to the bed and sit to catch your breath.

Tom comes in and sees you sitting on the bed with nothing but the zipper half undone and an arm out of one of the straps. He sets down the water and tylenol and kneels in front of you.

"Jane? What's wrong? Do you need help?"

You take a shaky breath and nod.

He helps you to your feet and helps you to remove the dress.

He brings over the sweatpants and sets them down for you to just step into and he pulls them up for you before slipping the sweatshirt over your head.

You feel a little dizzy, he grabs your waist and helps you back into bed. Giving you the water and tylenol before tucking you in tight.

He leaves to change his clothes and you're asleep before he returns.

TOM

It took all your self control not to take her to the hospital last night. But you knew she would fight it with everything she had so it wasn't worth it considering you would be home soon enough.

The second you woke up the next morning you checked her for a fever. It was still there and her breathing was still rather shallow. You leave the room and call Dr. S.

He instructs you to bring her in straight from the airport and that he would have a room ready for you.

You get the car loaded up and wake Jane up right before you have to go, gently shaking her shoulder. "Jane my love, it's time for us to go to the airport."

She looks up at you and nods before weakly kicking off the layers of blankets.

She goes to stand and you help her to steady herself. Once in the car you inform her of your conversation with Dr. S.

"I called Dr. S this morning and he wants you to come in immediately. A room will be ready when we arrive."

To your surprise she doesn't argue. A true testament to how sick she must feel. "Ok that's fine. After I'm settled though would you mind going home and getting a few of my usual things?"

"Of course, dear."

The rest of the drive was quiet.

She clearly struggled the whole way through the airport. Stopping to catch her breath and she was walking very slowly.

Once in your seats you ask the attendant for some water and you give her some more tylenol once you notice her shivers return.

She sleeps the whole flight while you watch her nervously.

Once you land you wake her and another struggle to get through another airport begins.

Finally you get a cab and make it to the hospital. Having no choice but to carry all of your luggage with you.

Once at the desk you ask if someone can come and help you upstairs so Jane can take a wheelchair.

A man comes around with a wheelchair and Jane goes straight to it. Another sign she's very sick.

You reach the room and she goes straight to the bed and lays back, taking deep and slow breaths.

You go and sit on the edge of the bed, taking her little hand in yours. "We're here Jane, it's all ok. Just rest."

Her nurse pops in and begins her usual assessment and you move across the room and out of her way.

She checks everything and then looks over to you nervously and then down to Jane.

"Looks like you waited too long to come in, sweetie. Your vitals are really off for you. I'm going to go tell Dr. S you're here and then I'll be right back."

Jane just nods and closes her eyes again. You move back over to sit beside her on the bed, stroking her hair. Looking at the monitors. The numbers were much different than usual.

Dr. S and the nurse were back quickly, the nurse had an oxygen tank and some tubing along with your mediport supplies. She began hooking things up while Dr. S came to stand on the other side of the bed, getting his stethoscope ready. "Jane can you sit up for me and take some deep breaths?"

She props herself up and starts taking shallow breaths. Dr. S moves the stethoscope around your back and chest, his expression is one you can't read. Once he's finished the nurse begins hooking Jane up to an oxygen cannula. She doesn't even protest.

Dr. S looks at the monitors a moment, studying the numbers before speaking to the nurse. "Let's try three liters please."

The nurse adjusts a nozzle on the tank and Dr. S and her look at the monitors as the numbers measuring your oxygen level raised. You look down at Jane and already she seems more comfortable.

You hear something wheeling down the hall and it stops at the doorway. The woman pushing it steps in and looks at the nurse. "Chest x-ray?" She nods and the woman wheels the machine in.

"Hi Jane, I'm from x-ray and I'm gonna take a few quick pictures ok?"

"Ok." Jane squeaks as the woman presses a few buttons and slips a thin black square behind her back. You step back with Dr. S and wait for the woman to be done.

Once it's over Dr. S goes over to look at the x-rays on the screen. He studies them for a moment and you step over to look with him. In the meantime the nurse decides to quickly access Janes port.

Once Dr. S is done the woman leaves and you return to sit next to Jane who is already being hooked up to IV's.

"Well Jane, you have pneumonia in both lungs. A pretty good case by the looks of it. This is gonna take awhile to get over."

You feel your stomach flip. Pneumonia? How does that happen so quickly? She's felt ill for a week, but surely that's not long enough for pneumonia in both lungs?

You look to Jane who doesn't show much emotion. Just exhaustion.

"Ok, so what are we going to do?" She asks.

"Lot's and lot's of antibiotics, therapies, and rest. The oxygen will help you to feel more comfortable and be able to rest. We'll be giving you things for your fever around the clock to keep that under control also. Are you in any pain?"

She nods a little. "My chest hurts a little and I'm pretty achy."

"That's from the fever. I will write for some pain control, too. Anything else you want to know or that I should know?"

You pipe up with a few concerns. "How long will she be feeling this ill? And what about any long term damage to her lungs?"

"Unfortunately that is all a waiting game. Everyone's different so I don't know how long it will take Jane to start feeling better and I don't know the extent of the damage it will cause. Double pneumonia is very serious but there is no way to stop it from happening. Even if she would have gone to a hospital last week she would have had double pneumonia, she just wouldn't have felt this ill. Now she definitely should have gone, and it may have been stopped before it could make her have these side effects, but pneumonia is a very tricky thing so it's hard to say how things will ever play out."

You just nod and look back to Jane who had fallen asleep, a shiver running through her. The nurse leaves, probably to get more blankets and tylenol.

"I will come by before I leave for the day. Until then both of you get some rest."

"Thank you."

He leaves and the nurse returns, laying another blanket across Jane who snuggles right into it. You gently give her shoulder a shake. "Love, you need to sit up to take your medicine." She does so and then slips right back into her pile of blankets.

The nurse leaves and closes the door, giving you instructions to call if you notice anything strange or need anything.

Jane scoots over away from you a bit and then pulls a hand out from under the covers to pat the space next to her.

"Can you hold me, Tom?"

You crawl right in beside her, carefully pulling her close so you don't disrupt any of her extra tubing and trying not to harm her since she said she was sore.

She curls into your chest with another slight shutter.

You wrap your arms around her tighter and kiss the top of her head.

"I love you." She mumbles into your chest.

"I love you more." You whisper.
