Gwen blinks her eyes trying to open them but everything is blurry. She closes them again waiting a few seconds before opening them again. As the room comes into view, she is seriously confused and even scared. She can feel Blake's hand in hers and the fear fades.

"Gwen? Sunshine?" Blake pleads

"Blakey what happened? Where are we? I feel like the room is moving."

"Oh thank god Gwen you scared me half to death. You passed out and I found you on the floor when I got back from the airport. We are in the ambulance so the room is moving." Tears pour down Blake's face

"Don't cry Blakey I'm right here. I'm ok." She says reaching up and wiping the tears from his face

"I thought....I thought I was losing you." His voice broke on 'losing' barely being able to say it

"Not gonna happen. I'm not going anywhere." Blake bends down and kisses her on the lips

Once they arrive at the hospital Gwen is taken into a room. Again, they tried to tell Blake he needed to wait in the waiting room. After a loud discussion with a few choice words from Blake, they gave up and allowed him to stay with her. Gwen's mom had called Blake right after they arrived and he told them he would come get them when they were allowed to come back.

"I guess I made a heck of an impression on your friend." Gwen said

Blake could tell she was more than a little embarrassed.

"Gwen seriously please don't think like that. There was nothing you could do about it. What it did was show him how much I really do love you. I was in literal panic mode."

They here a knock on the door and yell for whoever it is to come in.

"What did I tell you about pushing yourself to hard?" Lou walks in with and angry look on her face

"I was just at home laying in bed. I guess I got up to go to the bathroom." Gwen defended

"And what did you do in between treatments?"

"Blake and I had a fight." Gwen answered looking down knowing full well the fight was her fault

"Enough of that nonsense Gwen. You need to be resting in between treatments or this could very well happen again. The doctors ordered blood work and a PET scan. You're staying overnight for observation and to give you IV fluids. You are pretty dehydrated."

"Yeah I didn't really take good care of my self the last few days."

"Gwen you don't have a choice right now. This is something you have to do."

"We have fixed that now Lou. She will be resting; I'm not taking no for an answer anymore." Blake says

"Good cause she sure can be stubborn sometimes."

"You don't have to tell me that." Blake and Lou both laugh

"Hey I'm right here" Gwen says with a pouting face

"We love you sunshine." Blake says bending down and giving her a kiss which she eagerly accepts

"Can her parents come back yet Lou?"

"You called my parents? They are here?"

"Absolutely Gwen I didn't know what was going on so I called them. They needed to be here in case something was wrong."

"Thank you." Tears pooling in her eyes

"Yeah they can come back. Would you like me to get them?" Lou asks
