" trav? Travis wake up " Taylor whisper yelled, shaking Travis

" hm what's the matter " he stirred, not really fully awake

" it's Noah. Don't you think his chest looks really funny when he breathes? " she questions, staring down at the baby with an open onesie where she had just changed him.

It seemed as though he was gasping hard for air, his breathes were short and quick and it looked as though his chest wasn't sucking in properly.

" he does seem short of breathe " Travis observed, switching on their bedside light to see better

In a matter of seconds the situation went from bad to worse, his breathing completely erratic and delayed. Taylor panicked. Not knowing what to do. The twins just turned a month old, 2 days ago.

" Tay, we need to call an ambulance. Stay calm okay? " Travis instructs, reaching for his phone as he tried to reassure Taylor 

Noah begins to cry now too, which only made his breathing worse. Taylor comforts him, to the best of her ability, but ultimately there wasn't loads they could do. Travis followed up the call of an ambulance and called Brittany and Patrick who lived not too far. Brittany didn't even need to think when they asked if she could come and watch Knox and Colette for the rest of the night and in the morning too. She'd do anything for Travis and Taylor. The emts soon arrived after Travis opened the door and hurried upstairs to Taylor and Travis' room where the babies were.

" hi Taylor, we are going to take a look at Noah if that's okay? " they tell her, so reluctantly she hands noah to one of them, and they lay him down on the bed. She knew he needed help, but she felt so uneasy not holding him when he was sick

Brittany arrived not even 15 minutes after they called, they were so grateful they had such good friends. Taylor couldn't even breathe properly herself. She watched as Noah just screamed whilst getting tended to, a small oxygen mask placed over his mouth and nose as they checked his blood pressure, oxygen levels and heart rate. Taylor felt helpless, watching her baby in so much pain, but she couldn't intervene. Travis was giving Brittany a very quick run down on where Knox' bottles were and everything so she knew for when he woke.

" okay Taylor, I think it's best we get Noah into the hospital right away, one of you can come with him and the other will have to follow behind but we need to move fast " the paramedic spoke, terrifying Taylor.

" Tay, you go, I'll follow behind " Travis called out, Taylor just nodding. Not even finding adequate words for this situation

She threw some shoes on, not even caring that she was in her pyjamas and followed Noah into the ambulance, sitting beside him as they worked on him. She felt numb, she'd never experienced one of her children being this sick before. Right now, no one had really told her anything about Noah's condition, but the urgency in the emts voice was enough to panic anyone. She wished Travis was beside her, holding her hand, but unfortunately that wasn't possible and she had to be strong for her baby. It felt like forever, but they reached the hospital within 10 minutes. Taylor could've sworn she held her own breathe the whole way, and Noah was immediately rushed in. She followed behind, watching closely. Her heart broke at hearing Noah's sobs as there was nothing she could do to subside them, she wanted to scoop him up and never let him go.
