"She's not getting any better." Abby said twenty minutes later. Ava's face was red and sweat was dripping down her face. Abby held a face cloth to her forehead. "I'll go get some more tylenol." Luka said walking out of the room. On he way back to their bathroom he saw Addy standing on the stairs. "Hey, babe. What are you doing up?" "Ava woke me up." "I'm sorry, sweetie. She's not feeling very good. Let me just give this to mommy and I'll be right up to tuck you back in." "Okay." Addy turned around and walked up the stairs. "Here you go." "Where are you going?" "I have to go tuck Addy back in. Ava woke her up." "Alright." Abby said trying to open the bottle and hold on to Ava who was squriming. "I'll be right back." When Luka came back Abby was sitting on the bed with Ava. Abby was trying to give her a bottle but Ava kept pushing it away with her hand. "Why don't you try to get some sleep?" "I can't sleep." "You need your rest." "I'm fine, really." Luka walked over to her and took Ava. "She's still got a fever." "Maybe we should take her to the hospital." "I'll call Neela see if she can stay with the kids." Abby reached over and grabbed the phone on the nightstand. She waited for Neela to pick up. "There's no answer." "Who else can we call?" "Susan?" Abby dialed Susan's number. "Hello?" "Hey, Susan. It's Abby." "Hey." "I'm sorry to bother you." "It's alright. What's up?" "Ava's sick. We were wondering if you could watch the kids so we can take her to the hospital?" "I'll be there in ten minutes." "Thank you so much." "What are friends for." "Bye." "Bye." "She'll be here in ten minutes." Abby got up and walked into the bathroom. She grabbed Ava's pajama's from the counter. She pulled a diaper out of her purse and walked over to the bed. Luka and Abby were waiting at the door when Susan came. "Thank you." "It's no problem." "I'll call you later when we find out somthing."
The ER was packed with patients. People ended up standing in triage because the seats were full. Luka and Abby could barely make their way over to admit. "Hey, Dr. Kovac." Jerry was behind the counter. "Hey Jerry, who's on to night?" "Ray, Morris..." "Abby, where are you going?" "To take care of our daughter." Abby said carrying Ava over to exam 1. Luka followed behind her. Abby pushed open the door and walked over to the bed. She placed Ava down and pulled off her coat. "I'll go try to find someone." Luka headed out of the exam room. "Dr. Kovac, what are you doing here?" Morris was heading towards him. "Is Kerry or Neela round?" "Neela left about twenty minutes ago. I think Dr. Weaver's in trauma two." Luka walked past Morris to trauma 2. He stood back while they pushed the patient out of the room and over to the elevator. Kerry stood by the door still in gloves and a gown. "Luka, I thought it was your day off?" "Ava's sick. Abby's with her in exam 1." Kerry pulled off her gloves and gown and tossed them onto the ground. He followed behind her as they headed back to exam 1. They could hear Ava crying as they got closer. Kerry pushed open the door and over to the bed. "She hasn't stopped crying all night. We gave her some tylenol but it didn't work. We took her into the bathroom and let it steam up that only made it worse. She has a fever." Abby was on the verge of tears. Kerry felt her forehead with her hand. "She's still warm." Abby placed Ava down on the bed so Kerry could examine her. Kerry pulled the stethescope from around her neck and placed it on Ava's chest. Hulleh was standing next to Kerry waiting for her instructions. "We should start her on an IV drip. She might be dehydrated." Hullah shook her head and grabbed some supplies from the drawer by the door. Ava cried harder as Hullah put the needle into her small hand. "It's okay, sweetie." Abby said holding Ava in her arms. "All done." Hullah said putting some tape over the needle. "I'll have this sent to the lap." Kerry handed Hulleh the small vile of blood. "Have them run it ASAP."

Abby paced back and forth infront of the door. Luka was sitting next to the bed. Kerry had given Ava something to help her sleep, so she was now sleeping in the bed. "You're going ot wear a hole in the floor." Luka said as he watched her pace. "It's been two hours." "You know how the lab is?" "Yeah, but it's different." Luka got up and walked over to her. She stopped infront of him and he wrapped his arms around her. "She was fine this morning. I don't get it." A single tear slid down the side of her face. Luka brushed it away with his thumb. "She's going to be okay." Luka hugged her tighter. Kerry stood outside the door. She waited a moment before knocking. Luka and Abby seperated as Kerry walked in. "Are the test results back yet?" "Not yet." Abby sighed with frustration. She walked over to the chair and sat down next to Ava. She picked up her hand and stroked it gently. She looked down at Ava as tears welled up in her eyes. She brushed them away quickly before anyone could see. Ava's face scrunched up and she let out a small cry. Abby stroked her head and whispered to her. "I'll come back when the results come in." Luka shook his head and held the door open while she walked out. Luka stood staring at the closed door. "Luka?" Abby said noticing a small rash on Ava's arm. "Luka." He turned around and walked over to Abby. "Look." Abby said turning Ava's arm over. Luka bent down and looked at the rash closely. "Looks like..." "Fifth disease." Abby studied Ava's body. "She's got red cheeks." She lifted up the hospital gown. "Look." Abby traced the red lacy rash on her stomach. "At least we know what's wrong with her. I'm gonna go find Kerry." Luka got up and walked out the door. Kerry and Luka came back a few minutes later. "You might want to bring the other kids in and have the checked out. Just keep giving her tylenol for the fever and she should be fine in a couple of days." "Maybe I should call Susan?" Luka said pulling out his cell phone. "Let me know if you get any symptoms." "I will." Abby smiled at Kerry. "I'm glad it wasn't anything more serious." "Thank you." Kerry smiled and shook her head. As she turned to leave she heard Abby crying. "She's going to bring the kids in." Abby sighed wiping her eyes. "I told you she was going to be okay." Luka smiled. "You did." Abby smiled back.

"Did any of the other kids get sick?" Abby was talking on the phone with Susan. "Just Joe but it wasn't as bad as Ava." "That's good." "Yeah, I still don't know where she caught it from." Abby was leaning against the counter. She turned around and put some of the kids cups into the dishwasher. Addy came running into the room. "Mommy, I don't want to go." "Oops, I have to go. Luka seems to be having some trouble getting Addy ready for school." Susan laughed. "All right, I'll talk to you later." "Yeah, Bye." "Bye." Abby placed the phone on the counter. "Mommy, I don't want to go to school." "Why not, it's your first day of first grade." "I want to stay home with you." "Like your father says, 'Everything is going to be okay.'" Abby said picking her up and carrying her upstairs to her bedroom. Her clothes were still laid out on her dresser. "Did you want me to help you get dressed?" "No, I can do it." "Okay." "I'll be back in a minute to see how you're doing." "Okay." Abby let her down and she walked over to her dresser and grabbed the clothes that Abby had laid out. Abby walked down the hall to see where Luka was. She found him in the twins room at the changing table. He was getting Lili dressed. Ava was standing up in her crib already dressed. Abby walked over and took her out of the crib. Ava laughed when Abby gave her a kiss. "I think I convinced Addy to get dressed." Luka pulled Lili's arm through the shirt and picked her up. "I thought she would be excited. She gets to spend the whole day at school instead of just part of the day." "I think that was the whole reason why she didn't want to go." "I'll take them downstairs and feed them." "Alright." Abby said handing Ava to Luka. "Did you check on Joe?" "Yeah, he was still sleeping." "Okay, I'll get him up after I get Addy ready." Abby walked back down the hall to Addy's room. She was sitting on her bed pulling on her socks. Abby had picked out a red and white checkered skort and a matching shirt that had Strawberry Shortcake on it. Abby grabbed her white princess sneekers from the closet and brought them over to her. Addy liked them because they lit up when she walked. Addy slipped them unto her feet and Abby helped her tie them. "Come on, I'll go fix your hair for you." Abby said holding out her hand. Addy hoppepd off the bed and grabbed her hand. "How did you want your hair?" "Just a headband." "Okay." Abby finished brushing her hair and placed a pink headband on. "You look beautiful." Abby said stepping back to get a better look at her daughter. "Thank you." "Go see daddy downstairs and he'll get you something to eat. I'm going to go get your brother up." Addy ran out of the room and Abby walked down the hall to Joe's room. She walked over to the crib. He was still sleeping. She hesitated about taking him out. After a minute she decided to take him out. She slowly lifted him out of the crib. As she picking him up he opened his eyes. "Hi, buddy." She smiled as she placed him on her hip. He put his head down on her shoulder and closed his eyes. She carried him downstairs and into the kitchen. The girls were at the table eating breakfast and Luka was at the counter drinking a cup of coffee and reading the last of the paper. He turned around when he heard Abby. He walked over to her and kissed her placing his hand on Joe's back. Joe sleepily opened his eyes when Luka pulled away. "Hey, sleepy." Luka kissed him on the top of the head. "I think he still needs a few minutes. I'm gonna go sit with him on the couch." Abby left and Luka turned his attention back to the girls. "I'm all done, daddy." "Okay sweetie, why don't you go upstairs and brush your teeth, while I clean up your sisters." Addy carried her bowl over to the sink before going upstairs. Luka was waiting outside in the car with Joe, and the twins while Abby helped Addy gather up all her things. She had a sweater in one hand and Addy's lunch box and backpack in the other. Addy took her backpack and lunch box from Abby and put the backpack over her shoulder. "This will be in your bag if you need it." Abby unzipped the bag and placed the sweater inside. She took Addy's hand. "You're going to have so much fun in first grade." Abby said trying to get a smile out of her. "I hope so."
