A beautiful day has begun and there is snow everywhere. Lois's mother will join us for dinner tonight. Outside there are birds singing and everyone is cheerful because it's December! Joey, Jordan and Phoebe are building a snowman. Their baby sister Sophia is too small to walk and just a few months old.
Daddy Jack is cooking asian food while Mommy Lois is upstairs folding clothes. Everyone is excited because granny Laura is coming over tonight. Three hours have already passed. Time flies so fast! ''Mommy can I have some tea'' Jordan asks. ''Of course honey'' Lois replies.
Lois loves it when her children drink tea with her. As Lois sits down with Jordan she looks at his little face and tells him ''you kids grow up way too fast'' Jordan giggles and tells Lois ''Yes mommy but we will always be your babies'' Lois can't help but smile and tells Jordan to just enjoy this moment and live life to the fullest.
It's already 5 pm and almost time for supper. Uncle James (Lois's brother) dropped granny Laura off and everyone is ready for dinner. As everyone is seated they all hold hands and say a prayer to thank God for family and food.
Granny Laura smiles and tells everyone ''This food is delicious and you know I'm a picky eater'' everyone starts to laugh and the children are waiting for their ice cream. ''Who wants ice cream?'' Jack asks ''Me DADDY!!!!'' The kids yell in excitement. Everyone finished their dinner and ice cream and it's time for granny Laura to go home. It's 10:30 pm and very dark outside.
Lois is supposed to drive her mother home but she isn't feeling too well. The kids kiss granny goodbye and it's passed their bed time.
Lois is upstairs getting ready for bed in her bedroom and Jack is downstairs giving baby Sophia her bottle. There is suddenly a loud noise from upstairs. It's like there was a small earthquake upstairs. As Jack is trying to figure out what's going on it hits him that something is seriously wrong.
Jack runs upstairs to his bedroom and can't open the door. He realizes Lois is blocking the door and probably fainted. She isn't responding. ''Lois open the door, Lois please answer me'' Jack slowly opens the door and sees Lois on the floor. She's pale and not breathing...
Jack stays calm but runs downstairs to call 911. The operater picks up and is a pain in the a** ''My wife fainted and is not breathing please send an ambulance'' ''Then I need to have your insurance number please'' Jack gets frustrated and yells ''Then I need to look my insurance number up and that takes too long just send a freaking ambulance!!!!'' The operator is still a jerk and replies ''Then I can't help you sir" Jack really lost his temper and yells ''If you don't help me, I will find you and beat you up and it won't end well'' ''Okay I'll send an ambulance sir'' the operator finally cooperates.
Finally two ambulances arrived and a few cops to get people out of the way on the roads. They are doing cpr on Lois and after the 4th time her heart still isn't beating. ''Time of death..." ''heck no you will do cpr on her until she breaths again!!!!'' a cop yells. After many attempts to do cpr Lois's heart is beating again. She is in a very serious condition and brought to the ER in the hospital 15 minutes away. -------------
