Andrew went out to his truck. He put Aly in her carseat and then got in the front seat and waited for Addie and October.
The sisters followed. Adelina put Alexander in his own car seat, and then got in the passengers seat with Andrew. October climbed in the back with the two kids, waiting for Andrew to start driving. Hopefully he would drive fast, since she wanted them to get to the hospital as soon as they could.
Andrew did drive as fast as he could without speeding and they arrived fairly quickly. He got Aly out and hurried into the hospital. He went up to the front desk. "I'm looking for Dani Jenson." he told the nurse. The nurse gave him the room number.
Adelina took their son, and both she and October ran into the hospital after Andrew. Upon hearing the room number, the two ran toward it, hoping they would get there. They stopped outside the room, unsure as to whether or not they could actually visit her yet.
Andrew followed them. He didn't really care if they could go in or not, but he knew the twins definitely wouldn't be able to. He gave Aly to October, and went in the room. Dani was by herself, and still unconcious. He sat down in the chair next to her.
Adelina waited outside with October, since she could go in either. "I wonder why she got sick," the thirteen year old said. She then began to wonder if it had been that roll... wow, people really couldn't trust cafeteria food! She gulped, wondering if school food could really make people that sick.
The seventeen year old was silent, just rocking her son back and forth in her arms. She nodded in agreement with her sister and looked in the room, wondering if the doctors had gotten results back as to why Dani had gotten so ill.

Just then the monitor started being. "Oh, crap." Andrew muttered under his breath. He leaned over the side of the bed and hit the nurse-call button.
Seconds later two nurses rushed in. One opened the door on the table next to the bed and pulled out the electric paddles. She counted to three then pushed. "Clear!" She yelled. She counted in her head and did it again, but still the line on the monitor stayed flat.
"We're going to have to prep her for surgery." The nurse told Andrew. A third nurse appeared almost magically(really she had a walkie talkie thingy mabobber) with a gurney and they slid Dani on to it. All four of them left the room, one staying behind with Andrew, Addie, October and the twins.

As soon as they saw that, the sisters and the twins started crying. October sniffed, looking at one of the nurses. "What happened? Will she be ok?" she asked through her tears. Adelina said nothing, though, and continued to cry as she tried to comfort Alexander.
The nurse's expression was grim. "Apparently they ingested food poisoning. We've moved her to the ICU." She told them. Andrew sat down and put his head in his hands. This was not good at all.
Adelina and October sat down with him. October was crying harder then ever, though, and handed Aly back to Andrew. She stood back up and walked a little bit away, leaning against the wall and facing away from them. It was her fault that Dani was sick, and that Alyeria had gotten sick as well. It was her who had bought the roll, and the baby had eaten a bit of it, while Dani ate almost all of it. This was really horrible... everything in life was just piling up and she hated it.
The thirteen year old fell to her knees, folding her arms over her chest and continuing to sob, making no effort to stop herself.
