Fictional: A Tobias Eaton Fanfiction

Chapter 20

Brenda and Tobias rushed over to see Beatrice, who was being looked over by the doctors. "We think she has Pneumonia," revealed one of the doctors. "The other three babies are fine, but Beatrice is much smaller than her siblings. That and her early birth make her very prone to illness." Brenda saw Uriah sleeping soundly, and Veronica and Johanna holding hands. "Her siblings," the doctor continued, "Are healthy and strong. They're just about ready to go home." "I'll book a room in the hotel next door," Brenda responded. "I want them to go if they're ready, but my place is with Beatrice. I need to be sure she'll be alright."

After Brenda and Tobias got the three healthy babies settled into the hotel room, she called her doctor. "How's Tris?" she asked. "Her lungs are filled with fluid," the doctor replied. "We've got her on a ventilator, but she's having trouble breathing.. It's pretty bad." "Can I go over there and see her yet?" Brenda wondered. "Yes," the doctor said. "We're going to drain the fluid from her lungs."

Brenda went into the hospital room, and sure enough, the doctor was frantically draining fluid from Beatrice's lungs. She watched the heart monitor beeping as Beatrice struggled to breathe. "No, no, no!" panicked one of the many doctors that surrounded Beatrice. "She's losing consciousness!" 

Then, Baby Tris blacked out.
