"This is why I'm done," Justin said as he breezed through the hospital double doors. "This family has enough shit going on."

"You say done, but are you sure about that?" Clara asked. "I mean, done forever done?"

"I mean, I'm just done," Justin said. He glanced at the cameras that were following him as he and Clara walked through the hospital halls. "This thing with Han-Clay," he corrected himself before he said Hannah's name on camera. Everyone knew about Clay running away so that was safe, "And then Scarlett, now Wes? What else could possibly happen next?"

"I really wish you hadn't asked that," Clara shook her head.

"Gah, okay," Justin sighed.

"You don't have to retire just because all of this is going on," Clara said. "Our lives have never been quiet, this isn't any different."

"Babe," Justin stopped walking. He pulled Clara aside. "If it comes to it, we'll take this baby, right?"

"Justin," Clara started to shake her head but Justin didn't stop.

"We don't have any idea what we're walking into here," Justin said. "I won't let my first great-grandbaby go to some strangers."

"Let's hope it doesn't come to that, okay?" Clara said. "Finding a home for that baby is the last thing I'm worried about."

"I'm just saying," Justin said. Clara gave him a look and they started walking again.

Luke stood up as soon as they walked into Wes' hospital room. He sat down again when he saw them. The camera crew stayed outside, just as Justin had ordered, to give Wes some privacy.

"Hey," Wes said. He looked fine to Justin. "You didn't have to come."

"You didn't call your mother," Clara said and Justin looked at her. How did she know that?

"No, she would just worry," Wes said. "I'm not even sure why I'm here, to be honest, I just passed out."

"For no reason," Luke added. "You passed out for no reason."

"We were having a fight, it was emotional," Wes said.

"Wesley," Luke glared.

"I've had some fights," Justin said. "Never passed out."

"It wasn't a fight," Luke said.

"What were you doing before that?" Clara asked.

"Nothing, I just took a shower," Wes said.

"And before that?" Clara asked. Luke and Wes looked at each other.

"It probably doesn't matter," Justin decided to save them, though it was already obvious what they were doing. "I'm sure the doctor will ask the same questions."

"Already has," Wes sighed. "It's the cancer, I know it. Just when everything's going right."

"Did the doctor say that?" Clara took Justin's hand.

"No, they're waiting for my bloodwork," Wes said. "And for the doctor to look at my PET scan. But this is how it started last time. I thought I was fine then too."

"You told me you had headaches last time," Luke said.

"I guess I did," Wes frowned. "I don't know, there's just no other explanation."
