*Harry's POV*
Rosie had disappeared back into the bathroom with Emma, shutting the door behind her. I sat my damp bum on the edge of her bed. I honestly don't know what I'm gonna say when she comes out. Well I don't even know what she'll say. Did I push it too early ? I mentally face palmed myself, hoping I didn't ruin our friendship. I mean, we did just meet. But she had to have felt something if she didn't stop it and went with it. I mean who would do that? I didn't force her. She wanted it just as much. I shook away my thoughts, placing my hands in my palms as my elbows rested on my knees. "Harry?" A small petite voice asked. I looked up to see Rosie standing in front of me, a wet Emma wrapped in a towel on her hip. "Emma wanted to ask you something." She added, her tone still light. She didn't seem mad. "Yeah love?" I asked looking up at the tan child. She looked from me to Rosie, giggling as she stuck her head in Rosie's neck. She giggled a little, looking down at me, "she wanted to know if you'd wanna help pick out her pajamas." I nodded, quickly standing. "Well, let's get to it." I said cheerily, clasping my hands together in front of me. She turned, heading out of the room. I quickly followed, watching her enter Emma's room and placing her on the floor near a closer. Emma smiled brightly at me, running over to me and pulling my hand behind her as she ran to her closet. Her small fingers pulled the knobs, making both sides of the door open. "Uppies!" She shouted, lifting her arms up. I picked her up, watching as her tiny fingers rummaged through her clothes. "Dis?" She asked, pulling out a lavender dress. I took the dress out, nodding in approval. She smiled a big grin, wriggled in my arms to be put down. I placed her on the floor, wary as she ran to Rosie and shoving the dress in her face. Rosie was on her bed, a pull-up in hand. I made my way out of the room, allowing her to get dressed. I shut the door and waiting in the hall. A couple of minutes had passed before both girls came out. Emma had ran past us, running downstairs with me and Rosie shortly behind. We hadn't talked, a small silence taking place between us. It wasn't an awkward one though, more like a comfortable one ? If that's real. It was just going on three, and according to Rosie it was snack time. I chuckled as Emma jumped happily, moving into the kitchen fast. "Cmon Harry." Rosie said, stopping by the kitchen and waving her hands to follow her. I moved away from my spot at the end of the staircase, heading into the kitchen where Emma and Rosie were huddled in front of the pantry cabinet. "Cookies?" Rosie asked, looking down at Emma. Emma shook her head, running over to the fridge and opening the door. We watched as she scanned the shelves, jumping once she found what she was looking for. "Mumma grapes!" She exclaimed as she continually jumped. Rosie shook her head and chuckled, heading over to grab the container of grapes. "Would you like anything?" She asked, turning to me. "Just a beverage, please." I responded. She nodded her head to the fridge, motioning to take. I observed the fridge, pulling out a water bottle and shutting it. "Danks mummy." Emma said, walking happily away with her bowl of grapes. "Mumma can I eats it in my room?" She asked once we were all gathered in the living room. Rosie nodded, taking a seat once the small child had ran up the stairs. She looked towards me, patting the cushion next to her. Placing my water bottle on the coffee table, I plopped onto the seat next to her. "Your not in a rush, are you?" She quizzed, taking ahold of the remote for the TV. I shook my head, watching as she grinned brightly. She had turned on the television, scrolling through each channel till she had found something to watch. She paused it briefly, standing up to shut the lights and grab some extra blankets.

It had been a good forty five minutes into the movie. Emma was upstairs playing and me and Rosie were down here huddled under throw blankets. Through out the movie, I felt the couch shift as Rosie shuffled her body closer and closer. She did end up directly next to me, staying there and placing her feet on the couch. Knowing what she was edging to I placed my arm around her shoulder, pulling her into me more. She smiled lightly, getting comfortable and laying her head near my chest. As soon as she got into place, a loud thud had erected from the second floor, making both Rosie and me jump. She quickly hopped up, tossing our shared blanket onto the ground. By time I had stood up she was already up the stairs and out. I quickly follow, searching in each room till I found her. Before I hit the two back rooms she yelled, "Harry!" I quickly ran into the room where her voice erected from. There in Emma's room, was Rosie on her knees on the floor with Emma in her hands. "Wh-what happened?" I asked frantically, kneeling down next to them. Emma was in Rosie's arms, unconscious. Rosie's breathing fastened, as she cried small tears. I could see her lips trying to form words, but she was speechless. "Ambulance?" I asked, quickly pulling out my phone. Once she nodded I dialed the number, waiting for an answer. "Hello nine one one what's your emergency?" The operator asked. "Hi yes I'm at a friends house and her daughter seemed to collapse and is unconscious." I blurted out quickly. "Do you know what happened?" the feminine voice asked. "No I-we don't kno-" "a seizure" Rosie blurted out, interrupting me. My eyes widened, immediately telling the operator. "Okay an ambulance is on its way." She said once I had given her the address. By now Rosie was sitting on the bed with Emma, holding her upright. Every now and then I saw her place her fingers in her mouth. She had caught me staring the last time she done it. "Tongue," she started, "I-it's to make s-s-sure she doesn't choke." Rosie choked out. She was still breathing heavily, her face pale as day. "We should bring her downstairs. They're gonna be here soon." I said, watching as she nodded, attempting to both stand up and lift Emma. I quickly jolted in, taking the small girl from her grip and holding her at an angle where she was okay. "Is there anything she needs?" I asked as we hit the doorway of her room. Rosie shook her head, fastening her pace in front of me. Before we knew it the ambulance was here, paramedics placing Emma on the gurney. "Here, can you lock up?" Rosie asked handing me her keys as the paramedics took Emma to the ambulance. I shook my head, watching as they placed Emma in the van, Rosie hopping in. It wasn't long before they were off, leaving me to stand in the door way shocked. I moved myself back inside, heading back over towards the living room to shut the TV off and retrieve Rosie's phone. Placing her mobile device in my pocket, I locked up and headed towards the hospital.

*Rosie's POV*
They had taken Emma in for medical care. I was left alone in the waiting room, scared shitless. I know exactly what that was and I know she's in there just as scared as I was. She should be awake by now. I thought to myself. I remember having them, being conscience before paramedics got there. Maybe cause it's her first one? I mean with my first one I didn't wake till I was in the ambulance. My thoughts were abruptly when a tall, pale man had came into the room, "Emma James' parent?" He asked. I quickly shot up, making my way towards him. "Well Emma's gonna be alright. The nurses are just finishing up then you can go in." He started. "We're just gonna keep her here over night to keep an eye on her. But other than that she should be good to go home tomorrow and we'll call when we get the results." He finished. "Oh wait!" He called to me once I went to sit back down. I turned to him, my head cocking to the side. "How did you know it was a seizure?" He asked lowly, pulling me aside. "B-because I used to have them." I replied quickly, biting my lip. He nodded, "have a good night." He said, walking through the double doors and disappearing into the halls. I felt a lump form in my throat, being held back by my deep breathes. I knew this would happen. I thought. I hoped it would've skipped her, I hated it and I never wanted my kids to go through it. Never ever. I shook away my thoughts, needing some fresh air. As soon as I walked out of the exit Harry was already heading towards the entrance. I stopped in place, watching as he jogged a little till he reached me. Once he became face to face with me, he pulled me in. I dug my head into his chest, finally letting the tears fall. I wasn't just sad, I was beyond upset. I felt his arms wrap around me tight, rubbing his thumbs up and down and he repeatedly whispered, 'it'll be okay." But I knew it wouldn't, this was just the start.AN HEY GUYS. OKAY SO QUICK THING. I DIDNT ONLY PUT THIS IS BECAUSE OF ME. LOTS OF PEOPLE OUT THERE HAVE EPILEPSY OR SEIZURES AND ONE OF THEM IS ME.
