"Dad? Where are we going?" Monty asks. He is sitting on his parents bed watching his usually calm and organized dad hazardously throw clothes into a suitcase.
"We are going to space, it will protect us from the virus." Baron explains as he zips up his wife's suitcase and then starts on his own.
"Will Minho be there?" Monty asks.
Baron pauses and looks at Monty, he gently places some shirts in the suitcase and sits next to his son. "No, Minho is going to stay here and help find a cure for the virus."
"But how will he find us if we are in space?" Monty asks.
Baron pauses and thinks for a minute before answering, "Well that's why he is going to find a cure, so we can come back."
Monty nods.
Baron kisses the top of his son's head, before getting up and placing clothes in the suitcase. Baron grabs a photo album on the top shelf of his closet and places it in his suitcase; he then grabs the book and picture of his sons off of his nightstand and throws them into the suitcase. He zips it up and grabs both suitcases, "Come on Monty, lets go find your mother."
Monty gets off of his parents bed and follows his dad down the hallway to his room. Monty sees a suitcase on his bed, but his mother isn't in here.
"Monty go pick out some stuff you want to take to space, I'll go find Anna." Baron says, he hands his son a backpack and says, "Only take what fits into here."
Monty nods and starts filling his bag with toys.
Baron glances at his son before walking across the hall and into Minho's room, he finds Anna sitting on Minho's bed holding a tattered stuffed dog they got Minho the day they met him.
He sits next to Anna and puts an arm around her. He pulls her to him and just sits there with her, knowing she will talk when she's ready.
"I miss him." She says.
Baron kisses his wife's head and says, "I do too."
"If we do this we will never see him again, we will probably be stuck there for the rest of our lives." She says.
Baron pulls away form his wife a little, "You don't know that, for all we know they could find a cure tomorrow and we can come home. "
Anna sighs and rests her head on his shoulder, "Hopefully."
Monty walks into the room with the backpack on his back, "What are you doing in here?" he asks.
Baron pats his leg and Monty comes over and sits on his dad's leg.
Baron looks to his wife and says, "We are just wondering what Minho will want us to take with him."
Monty grins, "That's easy, he will want his favorite football and book."
Baron grins at his son, "Let's go find those, so when we see Minho again we can give them to him."
Monty nods and hops off of his father's leg and begins rummaging through Minho's neat closet. He pulls out Minho's football and a pair of shoes, "I also forgot, he loves running, so we should probably bring these."
"Okay, where's the book?" Baron asks.
Monty scurries over and opens the nightstand next to Minho's bed; he pulls out a worn book full of pictures of the ocean.
Anna gasps, "My dad gave it to him right before we left for Korea to get Monty. Minho was a year old and my dad wanted to share his love of the Ocean with Minho. I didn't know he still had it."
Baron looks at his wife's nostalgic face, "Why don't we put these things in my suitcase, I think there's some room left."
Anna stands up, "There's ton's of room in Monty's suitcase, lets put it in there."
Baron nods and they walk over to Monty's room and Monty places all of Minho's stuff in the suitcase. Anna gently places Minho's stuffed dog on top of Monty's pile of clothes.
"Well we better get going if want to get there on time." Baron says.
The broken little family of three walk out of their home for the last time, the missing member leaves a cavernous hole.
A/N Minho and Monty are adopted, because Anna and Baron couldn't have kids.
