"Mom, why won't you let me drive. I have had my license for awhile now," Maya complained while leaving the restaurant.

Katy walked to the driver's side and pointed her keys at Maya, "Because, baby girl, I don't want you to drive in the dark." Noticing Maya was about to argue with her. "It is not because I don't trust you because I do. I just feel more comfortable if I was driving tonight, especially since you have been up since 4 am studying. You and I both don't need you falling asleep at the wheel."

Maya conceded with a nod and a sigh and got in the passenger's side. They turned on Panic! At the Disco on and were singing along with the lyrics. "So, am I going to get a baby sibling anytime soon?" Maya looked straight at her mother hoping for a yes because she wanted to show someone all that she learned and help them through life.

Katy noticeably gripped the steering wheel tighter, "Shawn and I have talked about it, but we don't know if we want to because our careers are still changing with when Shawn travels and if I get cast in something. I don't think I want to put another child through all the changing of schedules like I did with you. Plus we are happy as the little family we are now. Did you want a sibling?"

Maya contemplated the reasons her mom gave and they made sense. Maya was never happy when her mom suddenly changed her schedule and ruined a day that was meant to be just for them and she didn't want that to happen to another kid. "I did but I understand your reasoning. I never thought about it that way and I also don't want that to happen to another kid."

"I love you and you are the best thing that could've ever happened to me. You know that right?" Katy asked pulling up to a stoplight.

Maya smiled, "Yes mom, I know that and I love you too." The light turned green and Maya looked over at her mom and saw the bright lights and screamed.

It all went black.

It was around midnight when Shawn was jolted awake by the sound of his phone. He didn't check the number thinking it was either Katy or Maya telling him that they are almost home. "Hello?"

"Hello Mr. Hunter, this is St. Mary's Hospital. Your wife and daughter were in a car accident tonight."

Now wide awake, he started getting dressed to leave, "Are they alright? Please tell me they are okay." He got his keys and headed outside to his car.

"I'm sorry I don't have any details Mr. Hunter. We found your number in your daughter's belongings."

"All right I'm on my way. Thank you for calling me." He hung up and called Cory because he needed his best friend with him right now.

"Hello? Why are you calling.." Cory whispered sleepily.

"Cor. Katy and Maya were in an accident. I'm heading to St. Mary's now," Shawn cut him off. "Please call everyone. I just can't focus right now and I'm driving and just please Cory."

"Hey. Hey. Shawn it's going to be okay. I will call everyone for you, you just need to focus on driving all right."

"Okay Cory." Shawn breathed out.

"Shawn, it will be okay. I will meet you at the hospital. You will not be alone. I will not let you be alone Shawn." Cory paused while getting dressed, "Now I want to you to focus on driving to the hospital and I will hang up so you can do that and I will call everyone who needs to be called. Okay Shawn?"

"Okay Cory. Thank you so much." Shawn hung up and focused on driving to the hospital.
