Sean woke up, he could feel himself being wheeled somewhere. He knew right away that he was in the hospital, probably being wheeled into the Emergency Room.

"M-Mark..." He moaned.
"Sir... You need to lay back, please!" The nurse demanded.

Sean did as he was told and laid back. Pretty soon, he was wheeled into a room. They slowly helped him get into the bed. They then covered him up.

"We're going to get Dr. Wentworth for you, sir. Since he was your doctor last time, okay?" The nurse asked.

Sean nodded.

He spent the next few minutes alone, wondering where Mark and Emily were. Just then, he noticed only Matt coming in.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" Matt asked.
"I honestly don't know what in the hell to say at this point." Sean responded. "Where the hell is Mark?"
"I was just going to tell you..." Matt began. "Basically I pulled up to your house and I saw him storming out in a huff. He didn't tell me what was wrong, he just said he needed to take a walk around the neighborhood. Then, I went into your house, and I found Emily crying "Daddy" or for Mark, and I found you lying there and I immediately called emergency."
"Does Mark know?" Sean asked.
"He knows..." Matt nodded.
"Then why isn't he here?" Sean asked.
"I'm asking the same thing." Matt responded.

Just then, Dr. Wentworth came into the room.

"Hello, Sean." Dr. Wentworth said, shaking his hand. "It looks like you've had another episode."
"Yeah..." Sean nodded.
"Only this time, instead of regular vomiting, you were vomiting blood..." Dr. Wentworth asked. Sean nodded. "It seems like things have been getting worse for you and not better."
"What does that mean?" Sean asked.
"It means I'm going to request the surgery to be done later on this morning instead of two weeks from now." Dr. Wentworth explained.

Sean's eyes widened, "Really?"
He nodded. "As soon as I heard you had returned I had to schedule it."

Sean laid back on his bed. He felt relieved but at the same time scared to death. He had two weeks to prepare himself for this and now he only has possibly 3-4 hours.

"Sean, I must get your permission to do this." Dr. Wentworth asked.

Sean looked at Matt, who nodded at him, and then he looked over at Dr. Wentworth and nodded.

"Excellent." He responded. "I'll leave you alone for a little bit, and later on when it's time I'll get you hooked up."

Sean nodded. As he watched the doctor leave the room, he also noticed Matt leaving the room in a huff.

Mark finally pulled up at the hospital emergency room entrance. He took Emily out of her car seat and carried her inside. Matt met up with them.

"Hey man." Mark said.
"We're going to get Emily to the room Sean's in, and then we're going to talk." Matt immediately demanded.
"There's nothing to talk about." Mark mumbled.
"No... There is!" Matt responded.

Matt then took Emily into the room Sean was in. She immediately ran over to his bed and cuddled up next to him. She wasn't as happy to see him, but more worried. Matt waited a few moments as Emily just laid there next to Sean, not uttering a word like last time. He then went over to Mark.

"Do you realize what you have just done?" Matt asked.
"Listen..." Mark began.
"No, you listen!" Matt interrupted. "Your daughter is laying in that room next to Sean, traumatized by what she saw earlier up in that bedroom. Her other father, lying there, with blood dripping out of his mouth from vomiting blood! She was screaming and crying for you, Mark! Do you realize Sean could have been dead if I hadn't had come when I did?" 
"I know..." Mark mumbled.
"Then why the hell did you walk out like that?" Matt asked. "Knowing that that possibly could've happened at any moment!"
"I needed some space okay?" Mark choked, beginning to get emotional. "We had a major argument, and I just wanted some air."
"And what was that argument about?" Matt asked.
"Sean basically hated the fact that I uploaded that video of him getting sick, and then he kept yapping on about how he could do things himself, so I said fine, do whatever! I won't help you anymore!" Mark explained. "And then I left."
"Mark... You're insane!" Matt remarked. "One, you had no right to upload that video, it's basically embarrassing to Sean, and two, no matter what in the hell Sean says, you don't respond something that harsh to him and then leave him!"

Mark was silent.

"Sean is sick, Mark. You know he can't do certain things by himself." Matt continued. "No matter what in the hell he says, no matter if it's bad or not, you always stay by his side! Because you never know what will happen!"

Mark still had a serious look on his face, and then he nodded.

"You're right..." Mark said. "I shouldn't have done any of that..."
"Glad you finally came to your senses." Matt snickered jokingly.
"How is he?" Mark asked.
"They moved his surgery from a few weeks to a few hours from now." Matt said.
"Okay." Mark said. "I'll go in there and apologize to him."

Mark then walked into the room. Emily was asleep, her head on his shoulder. Sean smiled as he saw Mark coming in.

"Hey..." Mark smiled. "How you feeling?"
"I guess okay..." Sean whispered.

Mark sat down in the chair next to the bed, shaking his head.

"No..." Mark said. "You're not okay... You could've died because of me... I'm such an idiot!"
"You're not an idiot Mark." Sean whispered again, trying not to sound any louder to wake up Emily.
"I shouldn't have walked out like that, I never took in the thought that you could've been having another episode!" Mark said.
"Mark, none of this is your fault..." Sean said. "It's mine... If I hadn't had gone in there to record videos and if I hadn't had said what I said... None of this would've happened."
"If I hadn't had uploaded that video, none of this would've happened." Mark said.
"I felt like that video should've been uploaded either way..." Sean said.

Mark looked at Sean weirdly.

"What? Why?" Mark asked.
"So that people could really know what was going on, and how serious it really was." Sean said.
"But it could leave them extremely worried about you." Mark said.
"Look I'm trying to sound supportive here, okay?" Sean asked sarcastically.

Mark smirked a smile. They then held each other's hands.

"So all is forgiven?" Mark asked.
Sean nodded. "All is forgiven."

They both then leaned in and kissed each other. Mark then leaned in and kissed Emily on the cheek, as she was still asleep on Sean's shoulder.
