AN:Please bear with me. I have been working all of my summer at a local summer camp and this was all written up there. Please enjoy and review with your thoughts.
Chapter 2
We arrived at the hospital less than an hour later as a group (AN: Nina, Tori, Trina, Fabian, and Cooper) to see my Gran for possibly the final time before she would pass on. When we arrived as he had promised Victor was in her room waiting for us.
"Elizabeth, the girls are here. Fabian and Cooper are here as well. Fabian said he had a question for us so he will come in first with Cooper. Then, after they leave the girls will come." I heard him say to Gran.
"I know what it is about send the girls somewhere so they do not hear. Trina and Tori both like giving away secrets." Gran replied.
"Mr. Rutter and Cooper please enter. Girls please go call Trudy and tell her I will not be home for supper. Also tell her curfew will be early tonight." Victor said assigning us to the task.
[Fabian POV]
I walked into the room. "Mrs. Martin now that Nina is out of hearing range I would like to ask for your blessing to marry Nina after we graduate, Victor I would like to ask for yours also since you are her grandfather."
"I have seen you both together over the last couple of years and give you the full blessing I can for the marriage." Victor replied shocking me.
"I too give you my blessing. Nina and Cooper need someone like you to take care of them after I am gone." Nina's Gran said.
"Thank you Mrs. Martin. How about I get Nina and her sisters in here so they can see you." I replied bringing Cooper with me as I left the room.
[Nina POV]
I saw Fabian and Cooper leave my Gran's room after I got off the phone with Trudy.
"Uh Victor, I guess Mr. Sweet did not know about Tori, Trina and I being allowed to miss class so now the three of us have detention as does Fabian." I said as I walked into the room.
"Do not worry about it. I can get the punishment overturned. I suppose with everything happening as fast as it has been calling Eric was at the bottom of my list and forgotten. All that needs to happen is for me to explain the situation and everything will be fine." Victor replied.
"Girls will you do me a favor and each sing a song?" Gran asked.
"Sure Gran!" we replied in unison.
"I will give you a simple one Trina." Gran said. "How about 'Papa Don't Preach'?"

After Trina sang her song and Tori sang "Make it Shine" it was my turn. I let Gran choose even though I knew what she would pick so I motioned for Fabian and Cooper to come help me.

If I could break this spell
I'd run to him today
and somehow I know he's on his way to me
Derek, you and I were meant to be
Far longer than forever
I'll hold you in my heart
It's almost like you're here with me
Although we're far apart
Far longer than forever
As constant as a star
I close my eyes
and I am where you are
Sure as the dawn brings the sunrise
We've an unshakeable bond
Destined to last for a lifetime
and beyond
Far longer than forever (Far longer than forever)
I swear that I'll be true (I swear that I'll be true)
I've made an everlasting vow
To find a way to you
Far longer than forever
Like no love ever known
and with your love
I'll never be alone
Far longer than forever
Much stronger than forever
and with your love
I'll never be alone
As we sang the last 3 lines she started passing and by the last chord she was gone. I know you are thinking 'why didn't any nurses or doctors try bringing her back?' well the answer to that is she had a document, telling them to just let it happen, a D.N.R (Do Not Resesuatate)
(Scene Change)

We returned to school at lunchtime after dropping Cooper off at daycare. We went to our teachers asking what we had missed while we were out. After finishing this we all got called into Mr. Sweet's office. Luckily, by the time we got there Victor was also present.
He looked as if he had lost something as precious to him as Corbier. Mr. Sweet was the only one that did not know the situation.
"Eric these four have all been with me all morning except or the last 20 minutes. My Elizabeth passed on this morning. She had asked us to see her so I knew the truth about our 3 granddaughters…" Victor said.
"I'm sorry but I need a trash can or something." I interrupting.
"Nina what's wrong?" Fabian asked running after me.
"I just have to hurl!" I said running into a bathroom stall.
"Do you want me to get the nurse? Maybe she can figure out what is wrong." he suggested.
"Trudy made me a doctor appointment for right after classes, so I need you to pick up Cooper. I called his daycare so they can expect you and not me." I said after I finished and started walking back to Mr. Sweet's office.
"Nice of you both to rejoin us." Mr. Sweet said.
"I'm sorry I have not been feeling well the past few days. Between that, caring for Cooper, everything with my Gran passing today and keeping caught up in classes is really hard, right now." I replied.
"Well I think for the rest of the week you should just stay in your house and rest. I am sure that Miss Jaffray would be more than willing to make copies of her class notes for you and Mr. Rutter." he suggested.
"I kind of still want to stay in classes today so I don't fall behind in my personal schedule and can keep my mind off of things. But starting tomorrow I have no objections to that because I have to plan all of my Gran's services and estate stuff between 2 continents/2 countries in 2 completely different time zones. I already called my Aunt Emily she is on a flight here now and will be here by morning ready to help." I replied surprisingly keeping my composure.

It was time for dinner when Fabian told me to leave with him and Cooper for a surprise and that Trudy knew about it. Little did he know that I had a surprise for him too.
