[Parker's POV]

"Kacey, are you serious?! Shut up, some of us are trying to sleep!"

"Excuse me for having a life, unlike someone!"

"HA! Please, you wish you had my life. Now shut up and go to sleep or go elsewhere so I can."

"Lighten up Parker, it's only…1:23, oh wow it is really late. You should be sleeping, you have to get up in three and a half hours." I could sense the teasing in her response, before she said goodbye to whoever it was she was talking to on the phone, knowing that she was fully aware of what time it was and that I had training at 5:30.

"You're a terrible sister." I joked half-heartedly, before closing my eyes as Kacey settled down. Not more than five minutes later, just as I was falling asleep the phone began ringing. "Kacey really, you literally just hung up." I groaned and rolled over, opening my eyes to look at her as she let out a giggle and answered the phone. "Hello..."

I saw her face instantly drop as the person on the other line began to speak, "Yes that's my mom." I sat up quickly as tears began to stream down my little sister's face. "Kacey what's wrong?!" I asked frantically.

"Umm, hold on a second, I'll go wake her up." I saw Kacey quickly get out of bed and rush off to our mothers' room, as I jumped out of bed to follow.

[Paige's POV]

I woke up to someone aggressively shaking me, "Mom, get up. Something happened to Mama."

I sat up rubbing my eyes, opening them up to a crying Kacey in front of me and a wide eyed Parker standing in the doorway of the room. "Mmm, what's wrong?" I asked groggily, not fully awake yet.

She handed me the phone before rushing to bury her face in Parker's shoulder. Parker just shrugged at me with a scared look on her face before wrapping her arms around her sister tightly. I put the phone to my ear not really knowing what to expect, "Hello?"

"Yes, Mrs. Fields-McCullers?"

"Yeah, this is she. Is there something I can do for you?" I asked unsure as too what was going on.

"Yes, I am at the Philadelphia Hospital. There was an accident just outside the city and Emily Fields-McCullers was involved, I believe she's your wife."

I shot off of the bed, frantically looking around for a pair of shoes, as I continued to speak to the woman on the phone. "Yeah that's my wife, is she okay?! What happened? I-I'm on my way right now." I threw on a pair of sneakers, and turned my attention back to the woman on the phone as she began to speak again, "She's in surgery right now, we can discuss her condition once you arrive." I quickened my pace as I hung up the phone and tossed it up onto the bed.

"Mom, what the hell is going on?!" I looked up, completely forgetting that the girls were in the room with me. Kacey was now sobbing loudly into Parker's chest as they stood in the door way of the bedroom, Parker clearly trying to figure out why everyone was in such a panic.

"Your mother was in an accident, I have to get to the hospital." I said rushing past her, "Stay here with your sisters and I'll call you as soon as I figure out what's going on." I saw Parker tense up as I waited for her to nod at me before I sprinted down the stairs and out the door.

I sped to the hospital. The entire ride I couldn't help put imagine Emily, the love of my life, covered in blood going through some sort of surgery. I didn't have much information at all on what had happened to her and my mind couldn't help but wander to the worst cases possible. What if she dies? How am I supposed to do this on my own? Without her? My head was spinning with all of the things that could happen to her. I didn't even know how bad the accident was, but if she was rushed into surgery it had to be bad right? I shook the thought from my head trying to not allow myself to go there.

Before I knew it my car was at a complete stop outside of the front of the hospital. I knew I had to get out of the car and inside the building. I knew I had to get to her. But I couldn't move. My body was paralyzed with fear of what kind of news was waiting for me inside. I rested my head on the steering wheel and took a couple of deep breaths as I tried with everything I had to wish for the best once I entered the hospital. I slowly lifted my head and exited my car before quickly walking into the hospital and straight to the front desk.

"Hi, I'm here for Emily Fields-McCullers. I was told she was in s-surgery." The nurse shot me a sympathetic smile before looking at her computer and informing me that she was still in surgery and then asking me if I could fill out some paperwork while I waited around for her.

I was led to a small waiting room, apparently close to where Emily's room would be once she was taken out of surgery. I sat down finally allowing everything to sink in as I filled out the papers that were given to me. I finished quickly and found a nurse, asking how much longer it would be before I heard anything on Emily. She told me that it would probably be another hour or so before she was out and the doctor would come find me to inform me on her condition and stability.

I paced around the room before deciding that it would be a good idea to call our oldest child and let her know that I'd probably be here for the rest of the night. I slowly reached for my phone and called the house, dreading the questions Parker would have.

The phone hardly got one ring out before Parker answered, making it obvious that she had been waiting for my call. "Mom?! Is she okay?!"

I sighed heavily because I didn't know much more than Parker had, "I don't know Park. She's in surgery right now, her nurse said that the doctor would come speak to me as soon as she was out, but it probably won't be for a while." I could hear her sniffling on the other end of the line, trying her best not to cry.

"Surgery? She needed…she's…I-it's that bad, huh?" I sat down, leaning forward to rest my head in my free hand. I could hear her struggling to keep it together and I knew Parker was like me, always jumping to the worst scenario. I was probably going to be at the hospital all night and didn't want her to freak out while I wasn't around for her.

"She's going to be fine honey. Don't worry okay. How are your sisters?" I asked trying to steer her away from worrying about Emily. I was hoping that Kacey had fallen asleep and that Taylor had never woken up at all.

"No, yeah they're fine. Taylor's still sleeping and Kace fell asleep a little while after you left. She's really scared mom, so am I. What if-" I cut her off immediately, scared of what was about to come out of her mouth.

"She's not." I said as convincingly as I could, which wasn't very good considering it came out as a shaky whisper as I myself struggled to hold myself together. By this point Parker had thrown trying to be strong out the window and was wailing on the other end of the phone. I cursed myself for leaving her at home alone with no one to take care of her. She had always been strong like Emily, although she came from me. Sometimes I forgot that she needed someone there for her too.

"Baby, calm down okay. She's going to be fine. We're going to be fine, alright." At this point there wasn't a dry eye involved in this conversation and I was struggling to find the right words to calm her down. "I'm sorry I left you by yourself, I can call someone to come over if you want?" I asked even though I knew very well who it was that she wanted. She had always been the closest to Em. Even as a kid I could never break those two up. If something were to ever happen to her, it would tear this kid apart.

"No, it's fine. I just want Mama to come back home." Her voice was low and for the first time in a long time my put together daughter sounded completely broken.

I managed to choke out a simple, "Me too." There was a short silence due to neither of us knowing exactly what to say, "I love you Parker." She had managed to regain her composure now and I could only hear soft sniffling rather than her loud cries that filled the line before.

"I love you too Mom. Call me as soon as you see her, I'll be up."

"You got it kiddo." As I hung up I leaned back, suddenly realizing that if something bad happened to Emily that this family was going to, most likely, completely fall apart without her.
