Title: Finally
Prologue
Author: Icess
"Mommy! Come quick!" Three-year-old Conor Randall yelled, jumping up and down. "Mommy! There's a big spider! It's huge and yucky! Kill it! KILL IT!" Conor's mother came in and gazed to where her son was pointing. Quickly assessing the situation, she ran out of his bedroom and grabbed a sheet of paper towel out of the tiny kitchen of her apartment and ran back in to kill the helpless spider. After Conor was satisfied that the spider was gone, he happily jumped onto his bed and under the covers. "Night Mommy, I love you."
"And I love you sweetheart." She said, smoothing back his little blonde curls. "Now, here's your teddy, get some sleep. You get to see your Nana tomorrow." Her little boy smiled and his green eyes twinkled with delight. She got off the bed when he had closed his eyes and started breathing deeply and evenly. Turning back one more time, she smiled softly and blew him a kiss. "Goodnight, my little angel." And then she retired to her own room for the remainder of the night.
"I'm sorry Mr. Sirois, there was nothing that we could do for her. As soon as we got into the ER, she stopped breathing. We tried our hardest to revive her, we really did." The doctor said gently. Darien Sirois nodded his head, his dark blue eyes melancholy. Caroline McHugh had been like a second mother to him. After his own mother had died when he was eighteen years old, Caroline had taken over. She had been their maid for years, and then, when Ruby Sirois had died in a serious motor-vehicle accident, Caroline had been right there to help Darien through the toughest of times. Now, both of them were gone, two best friends to be reunited in Heaven.
"When will you release her to the morgue?" Darien asked, trying to hold back tears.
"We are going to send her on over tomorrow afternoon. You can contact the morgue anytime after three o'clock. You can make the proper funeral arrangements then." The doctor explained, feeling the young man's pain.
"Very well, thank you Doctor Libby." Darien said while shaking the old doctor's hand. After stepping into the elevator that would take him down to the parking garage of Sherman Hospital, he finally let the tears invade his eyes. Taking a deep breath, he swiped the tears away and made his way over to his metallic blue BMW. After shifting it into DRIVE, he made his way to his large and lonely house where he drowned himself in even more tears.
A.N. Ok, there's the prologue of Finally. Like it, dislike it? Let me know.
