Derek:
Derek left the room a bit reluctantly. He hated leaving Julia in that
condition, but Rachel was a doctor. Of course he had to remind himself that
a doctor couldn't help her any longer. "Kat," he called as he entered the
room where the girl was watching cartoons. "You're mother wants to see
you."
Kat:
Kat looked up and sighed, she was right in the middle of a good Rugrats
episode. Standing up she followed the Precept back upstairs to her mother's
room. She took one look at Julia and her fact turned pale. 'What's going
on? Are you guys okay?" Her mother looked a little pale too.
