Hi, my second idea/request is rather long and detailed so I will post it in the replies section of this post. This one is definitely angst/hurt/whump with some comfort at the end.

Omg I love this!! I’ll put it on the list for sure!! I will certainly use all of the key things in the story, but maybe change some things up so that the story will be new and exciting for you 2 ;)

On the second day as they are waiting on the charge nurse to bring Julie's discharge paperwork so that she can leave the fire chief comes to speak to Colin about what caused the fire. He reveals that it was items left on and near a space heater while it was in use that had started the blaze. Julie hears this and is consumed by guilt since she had been the one to put those items there and turn on the space heater, she blames herself for the damage to the house as well as Scarlett's injury from the smoke inhalation even going so far as to say things like I almost killed her, I could have killed all of you, nothing Colin, or her therapist says can convince her otherwise. Rose's and Cosmo's reaction IF they are told about how the fire started is up to you. Only when Scarlett's breathing tube is removed and she wakes up does she manage to get through to Julie that it was an accident and neither she nor anyone else blame Julie for what happened. After a couple more days in the hospital Scarlett is released and they all go in that family outing like they had originally planned before the fire.

While Scarlett plans to join them once Julie is released the next day, Colin and the others leave. Julie falls asleep fairly quickly afterwards, while watching over Julie Scarlett falls asleep as well. When a nurse comes to check on Julie and change her IV 2-3 hours later Julie wakes up but Scarlett doesn't, thinking it's odd Julie tries to shake Scarlett awake but it doesn't work she then notices that Scarlett's lips are tinged blue and her breathing doesn't sound right Julie alerts the nurse who is still in the room and she promptly checks over Scarlett and realizes that something is seriously wrong, she hits the emergency button to page the doctor and more nurses. The doctor that come is the same one that treated Julie and upon verifying that Scarlett had been in the fire too he realizes that it's a delayed presentation of ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) and immediately calls for supplies/equipment for intubation along with oxygen and some other meds. He performs the intubation himself and once he is satisfied that Scarlett is stable for the moment he has her removed from Julie's room and taken to a room of her own, he also sends for the results of her earlier blood work and orders a chest x-ray. Watching the whole ordeal happen sends Julie into panic mode and a nurse calls Colin who rushes back to the hospital to calm Julie and find out exactly what happened with Scarlett. Once he has Julie fairly calmed down the doctor pays them a visit and updates them on Scarlett's condition saying that she is stable and they had caught it soon enough that the damage to her lungs/respiratory tract isn't too severe and will heal in time, but for at least the next 2-3 days they will need to keep her sedated and intubated to protect her airway while it heals. A day goes by Rose, Cosmo and the rest of the family are informed (I'll leave it up to you whether or not the public finds out).
