Tiffy fell asleep against Jake's chest to the sound of his heartbeat. She slept through the ride and the walk up to the house, only waking up when Jake set her down on the bed.<br/>"Can you figure out what is wrong with her?" She heard Jake ask. She was touched by the feeling behind the words.<br/>"No other doctor could." She added, with her eyes closed. "My mom brought me to the doctors when she was still-" She broke off before she could begin crying.<br/>"Just let me see what I can do. I have connections with another countries labs. They are..more advanced then here." She hesitated but nodded slowly.<br/>"What if its something really bad?" She asked, fear laced in her voice and her eyes. She wished that Jake would hold her hand, tell her that his doctor would do everything he could for her. That he would be there for her, no matter what. Her heart said all this, but her mind told her he wouldn't.<br/>"Then we'll cross that bridge when we get there." the doctor said, with an easy cofidence that made her more relaxed. "I just need to get some blood for the blood tests." As he gathered the items he needed, Tiffy looked up at Jake.<br/>"Jake?" She asked unsure of what to say. No finding the words, she unclenched her hand and kept it palm up. She looked away again, not wanting to pressure him in to anything, but hoping he'd take her hand.
