Chapter 6- More Bad News

Candice slowly opened her eyes. She noticed she was in her house in Cameron. "Man I have a killer headache." she said to herself as she sat up. She leaned over and got the bottle of Advil out of her nightstand. She got up and walked into the kitchen and noticed Matt sleeping on the couch. "Crap!" she thought to herself. She tried to quietly tiptoe out of the kitchen, but Matt woke up.

"Your up." he said as he let out a yawn.

"Yeap." she said.

"Last night I got a call from Jeff. He said they are letting Paige go home today."

"That's good news!" Candice said as she fixed a pot of coffee.

"It is. Paige wants you to stay with them for the week your off because she said she could always use your help."

"Of course. Do you want some coffee?"

"Sure, thanks." he said.

She poured him a cup and sat on the chair across from the couch. "Why'd you stay here last night?"

"I wanted to make sure you were okay."

Candice looked down at her coffee.

"If you want to go ahead and pack some clothes and get a shower I'll drive you back to the hospital to get your car."

"Ok." she said and got up and walked to the bathroom.

Jeff and Paige's House

"You alright?" Jeff asked Paige as he helped her into their bed.

"Yes I'm fine."

"I just called Matt, he said that Candice agreed to staying with you."

"That's great! I miss her so much."

"I know you do."

"What was with all the awkward moments between her and Matt?"

"Paige, there's something you need to know."

"What?"

"Don't freak out on me, but Candice and Matt, they broke up."

"They what?!?!"

"Calm down!"

Paige took a deep breath. "I need Matt to stay here with me too. I mean, when you are running errands for me, I'll need some more muscle."

Jeff smiled a little. "You read my mind."

Paige smiled and leaned forward to kiss her husband.

"You see baby girl, your mama is a mind reader." Jeff said as he baby talked to Paige's belly.

Paige laughed and looked down at her belly. "You see baby boy your daddy is a crazy crazy man."

"I am not! And what makes you think it's a boy?"

"What makes you think it's a girl?"

Jeff laughed a little. "Look at us."

"I know. Who would've thought we'd be baby talking a baby still in the belly, that is ours."

"Yeap. Well either a boy or a girl, I still love him/her and their mother more than the whole world."

Paige smiled. "Your going to be a great father."

"And your going to be a great mother."

Just about that time the doorbell rang. "I guess that's them." Paige said.

"Guess so. You get some rest." Jeff said as he kissed Paige's forehead and left the bedroom, closing the door behind him.

He opened the door and to his surprise Candice's brother was standing there. "David, what are you doing here?"

"Is Candice here?" he asked.

"No but she will be shortly."

"I need to tell her something. It's about mom."

"Come in." Jeff said as he stepped aside to let him in. "Is everything alright?" Jeff asked.

Just after he asked that Candice and Matt walked in. "Man that wind is blowing like cra... David?" Candice said. She ran up to her brother and threw her arms around his neck. "I've missed you, mom, and dad so much!" she said as she stepped back.

"Candice, mama passed away this morning." David said as a few tears rolled down his cheek.

"Wh..what? No your lying. I talked to her yesterday, she was fine."

"Dad went in there to tell her he was heading off to work, when she wouldn't wake up he knew something was wrong. He called 911 and they said she passed away in her sleep."

"NO! YOUR LYING!" Candice screamed as she ran outside. Just before she got into the car she felt a hand on her shoulder. She knew who it was and just collapsed into his arms and began crying. "Sh... she... can't leave me. I... I never go..got to tell ... her how mu...much I love her."

"She knows Candice. She loved you so much." Matt said as he held her. "Let's go back in." he said as he helped her walk back to the house.
