Chapter 7

Alekzandre POV

I wasn't allowed to leave the hopsical. The doctors said I was really sick and I couldn't go home or I would get worse. Mommy stayed with me. She was crying so much that it scared me.

"Why are you crying mommy?"

"Because you're sick baby. Mommy doesn't want to see you sick." I nodded and grabbed my stuffed bunny. I never went anywhere without it. I had wires and tubes stuck to me. I knew I couldn't move very much right now. I laid down.

"Mommy. Where's my daddy?" I had never seen him. I called Adrian daddy once and mommy got really sad and said he wasn't my daddy.

"I don't know Alek." I coughed. It hurt and I tasted something in my mouth. It tasted like metal and when I spit it out it was red. It was blood.

Rose POV

I looked over at Alek to see if he was alright. I saw the blood on his hand. The doctor was worried about that. The treatment wasn't working and he was getting worse. I wiped Alek's hand off and pulled him into my lap.

We'd been here for seven months. Apparently Alek was in the later stages of leukemia. He had practically no chance now. Lissa and Christian came into the room with Aleksi, Zak, and Niki. Aleksi climbed up on my lap and then gave her brother a hug. They all crawled onto the bed and sat next to Alek. They loved him. There was no way they didn't.

They would be crushed when they lost him. It was inevitable. Alek was going to die and there was nothing I could do about it. Tears solved nothing and I had quit crying on a regular basis a while ago. I held him even tighter to my chest.

Dimitri never answered any of my calls. He never called me back. Christian had even gone to his aunt's house to go find him. Alek wanted to see his father. I wasn't in the mood to not give the child what he wanted. Hell if Alek asked me, I would turn strigoi for him right now. Now don't go getting your panties all twisted. I wasn't going to turn. It was merely an example. Dimitri wasn't at Tasha's when Christian had gone. He said that Dimitri still lived there but he was on some trip to see his family in Russia.

I would have gone to get him myself but I couldn't leave little Alek. He would be gone soon. I hated to say it. But it was true.

Nikoli scooted closer to me and I kissed his forehead. I hadn't been home much if at all. I know my children missed me. LIssa took out a camera and took a picture of the scene before her. I didn't really understand the pictures she took but I was grateful she was getting this one. I could see my family as it is.

We didn't talk much and after an hour LIssa took the kids home. That night Alek went to sleep and he never woke up. His breathing stopped and so did his heart. The doctors couldn't bring him back. They had to practically pry me off of him.

I was told to go home. I barely made it there before I was hit by the full force of Alek being gone. I'd never see his smiling face. Sure the other boys were identical but they wouldn't be Alek. They wouldn't have his personality. Their faces wouldn't light up like his would. Especially not now. Not with their brother not here anymore.

I dropped to the ground right infront of the house. I couldn't go any further. I didn't want to go see his empty room. His brothers who looked almost exactly like him. They didn't deserve me crying at the sight of them. Aleksi looked a lot like him too. Adrian came outside and picked me up. We might have been just friends now but he was still comforting.

I sobbed into his chest. "Is is alek…?" Adrian stuttered. I nodded.

"He's gone, Adrian. My baby's gone." He carried me inside.

Don't hit me! I know that's terrible. I don't even deserve a smiley face today. But believe me when I say Alek had to die. Please review and tell me what you think.
