3rd Person POV

Sara runs down the hallway as she hears Maddie scream-crying. She rounds the corner just as Nate rounds the corner, both with the same mission in mind: find out what's wrong

The two bust open Brooklyn's door and run into the room. Maddie is in her crib, standing up with her little hands wrapped around the bars, crying. But Jax was also crying too, shaking Brooklyn's shoulders as she lay in bed...unconscious

Nate immediately picks up Maddie to try and calm her down while Sara rushes over to the bed

"What's going on?" Sara asks, trying to take in the scene

"She won't wake up!" Jax tells Sara, looking at her with tears in his eyes. "She's not waking up and I...I don't know what's going on."

"Is she–" Sara starts before Jax shakes his head no

"She's got a heartbeat still." Jax says. "But I've been shaking her and she won't even open her eyes. I don't know what happened! We fell asleep and-and when I woke up she-she-she–"

"Alright, okay." Sara says, tugging at his arm to pull him away from Brooklyn. "Let me check on her." She says. "You go check on Maddie."

"But–" Jax tries

"Jax." Sara tells him. "Go check on Maddie."

Jax leaves the bed and makes his way over to Nate and Maddie. He rubs his daughter's back, trying to calm her down while keeping one eye on Brooklyn and Sara

Sara pulls a comm device out of her pocket and turns it on. She puts the device in her ear and turns towards Brooklyn, giving her back to Jax and Nate. "Alright, Gideon, talk to me and only me." Sara whispers through the comms

"Miss Cooper has fallen into a coma." Gideon announces to Sara through the comms. "The most recent time Maddie awoke, Miss Cooper got more sick from the link and when she closed her eyes, she slipped into a coma." She proves further explanation

"Do we know why?" Sara asks

"Yes." Gideon says. "Miss Cooper is suffering from her unstabilized link." She says as Sara brushes hair away from Brooklyn's forehead, the girl's skin burning hot to the touch

"Ray thinks he has a stabilizer." Sara says. "But it's still a work in progress."

"I theorize that if she does not get that stabilizer within the hour...then Miss Cooper will sustain brain damage from her fever and her coma might be irreversible and could result in death." Gideon says cautiously

"Oh, god." Sara whispers, touching her fingers to Brooklyn's cheek. "Alright." She says louder, taking a step away from Brooklyn and turning to Jax and Nate who have calmed Maddie down a little but the baby still looked distressed

"Did you find out what's wrong with her?" Jax asks

"Yes." Sara says. "She's in a coma."

"What..." Jax breathes, his eyes training on Brooklyn's body

"Gideon believes that we only have an hour to get the link between her and Maddie stabilized or..." Sara trails off

"Or what?" Nate asks, Jax unable to speak or take his eyes off his girlfriend

"Or something not good will happen." Sara tells the two boys. "But we're not going to let it come to that. Ray has a stabilizer he is working on and he thinks that if he injects it into Brooklyn and Maddie that their link will stabilize."
