"What's wrong with my baby?" Lisa is sobbing.

The doctor sighs. "Last time he came in, we must have missed it.."

"Missed what!?" Grayson shouts.

Dr. Brown frowns. "I can't believe we didn't see it."

"WHAT!?" Grayson yells.

"Grayson." I mumble. "Calm down please." He storms out. "What doc?"

"He has this large puncture wound on his side. He tried to take care of it, but he couldn't do it by himself."

"Is that why he's been favoring his one side more than the other?"

Dr. Brown nods. "It is."

"What happened?" Lisa cries.

"It got really infected. And it's starting to make him severely ill. We're doing our best to help him. I promise, this time around, everything will be fine."

The doctor leaves, Grayson reenters, and Lisa cries. I look at the unconscious Ethan. I walk over, sitting on his bed. I take his hand. "Hey E, you'll be okay. I promise." I smile.
