A few days later:

Jessica was able to get Sam in to see a neurologist a few days after his hand went numb. Ever since then, over the last few days he had become significantly worse. Jessica was worried sick and Sam was nervous as ever. He had never experienced anything like this before.

"Jessica, I'm scared to go in here." He says as they sit in the parking lot.

"I am too... but we have to do this. You need to find out what's wrong and get better." Jessica insists

"Can you help me out?" He says

Sam was too weak to get out of the car himself. Jessica got out and helped him on the other side. He held onto her tight as they walked into the neruo side of the hospital.

They waited anxiously in the waiting room. Jessica prayed and prayed, hoping that Sam would be okay. Sam was scared too. He hated doctors and he hated tests.

Sam and Jessica held each other's hands as they waited. Sam looked around at all of the sick people in the room. He was now in a wheelchair like some of the other people in the room.

"I bet it's just nerves." Sam says looking at the door

"Whatever it is, we aren't leaving until we know." Jessica says

"I don't want to go." He says

"You're starting to sound like the kids. Just stay put, okay?" Jessica gives a fake smile.

Finally Sam was called back and they met with the doctor. He was very nice and Sam felt very comfortable with him.

"So, Sam. Tell me what's been doing on."

"Starting a month ago I started getting these headaches. As weeks went by they became migraines. They hurt so bad to the point where I couldn't talk or get out of bed...

Recently I passed out and my wife took me to the hospital. They said it was just tension and stress. But, a few days ago my hands went numb. Ever since then I've just lost control. My head has been so bad these last few days. I can't stand the pain." Sam says

Hearing all of Sam's pain made Jessica's heart hurt.

"I'd like to run tests. Blood tests, scans, and an MRI." The doctor says

"All of that? I thought you'd just give me some new medicine." Sam panics

"I'm afraid not. The fact that my nurses had to put you in a wheelchair and you're going numb, I think this could be something serious."

"Serious? How serious?" Jessica asks

"We won't know until we run test. I can assure that whatever happens I have your back. I don't assume it's anything terrible." He says

Jessica sighs and rubs her eyes. She looks down at Sam and takes his hand.

"When will be know the results after all of the test?" Sam asks

"Hopefully in a few days. I'll call you back and we will talk in my office."

"Jess, you go down, get something to eat, go see the kids, something to keep your mind busy while you wait." Sam says

"No, I'm staying here with you." She says

"Ma'am, you actually can't go with him, but one of my nurses can show you to the cafeteria and lounge area."

"Just go, baby. I'll be okay." He smiles

"Okay.... I love you." Jessica mummers

"I love you too."

Jessica anxiously waited in the lounge area. It had been an hour and he had another hour of testing until they could go home.

All of the bad things that could happen went through Jessica's head. She thought about cancer, something terminal, an injury, anything. She just prayed and hoped that the love of her life would be okay.

Jessica didn't tell anyone anything yet. It was too touchy right now and they didn't even know the root of the problem. It wasn't something to get everyone so worried about.

Jessica continuously tapped her foot over and over to "calm" her down.

Then, she gets a call from Danny.

"Hello?" Jessica answers anxiously

"Hey.... Jess..." he says breathlessly. Jessica could hear screams in the background. It was Wyatt

"Is everything okay? What's going on?"  Jessica says standing up. She could tell wyatt's cry from a thousand babies.

"Don't freak out but...." Danny pauses

"What DANIEL!" Jessica says with anger

"Wyatt and I were playing at my place and he tripped and hit his face on the coffee table. That nice one I ordered from Italy? You know which one." He says

"Danny, the fucking table doesn't matter. Where are you? Is he okay? Are you taking him to the hospital?" She panics

"Mandy and I are here at the hospital with him. Scarlett and Jack are with my mom."

"What floor? I'm here at the hospital!"

"You're here? Ummm, floor 6!"

Jessica hangs up the phone right away and runs down to the elevators. She couldn't believe the day she was having.

When she gets to the room where Wyatt is she sees Mandy on the bed with Wyatt comforting him as the doctor prepares him for stitches.

"Okay mom, hold him tight." The doctor says to Mandy right as Jessica gets there. Her head was boiling seeing Mandy with her son and not Danny.

"I'm the mom." She says forcefully as she walks in.

When Wyatt see's his mother he reaches for her and tries to wiggle out of mandy's arms.

"Mandy, if you don't mind." Jessica hisses

Mandy hands wyatt to Jessica and she gets up on the bed with her son. She looks at his face and sees a big cut above his eyebrow.

"My sweetie... what happened?" Jessica says wiping his tears.

"I fell." He pouts

"Hi mom, we are just giving him a few stitches. He's numb now. But he may be a little scared." The doctor says

"Okay... I'll keep him calm."

Once Wyatts stitches were done he got a popsicle and tv time. It gave Jessica and Danny time to talk.

"I'm so sorry, Jessica. We were so scared. It was an accident."

"It's fine... accidents happen. But please, comfort him next time. No offense Mandy, but little boys don't need a woman to comfort them to replace mom, they need a parent." She snaps

Mandy bows her head and Danny was taken by surprise to see how harsh Jessica was being.

He pulls her aside and talks to her. "What's going on Jessica?"

"Sam is upstairs getting...." then Jessica chokes up

"What?" He says placing his hand on her arm.

"He's getting brain scans. He's had a rough month and they are worried that it could be serious and... wow it's already time. I have to go see him." He says

"0f course, go, go. I'll stay here with him."

Jessica nods and runs to say by to Wyatt after checking her alarm that went off to notify her that Sam was done.

"Bye baby. I'm going to see Sammy, so I'll see you later. Will you be oaky?" She asks

Wyatt nods with watery eyes and falls into his mother's arms.

"I love you."

"I love you mommy."

Jessica meets Sam back up in his room and sees him laying down on the bed looking really pale.

"Baby, what's wrong?" She says seeing how sick he looks

"He got a little nauseated but he's okay."

"Sam.... I'm so sorry you feel this sick." She cries. She squeezes his hand but he doesn't squeeze back.

"Can you not feel my hand?" She asks Sam

"No... I can't." He says looking down.

"Oh god... Sam."

"Honey, it's okay. Really, don't worry."

Jessica stares at Sam then suddenly feels really sick. She detaches from his hand and runs to the bathroom where she throws up continuously. She had made herself so sick to her stomach today with Sam and Wyatt. She couldn't hold it in anymore.
