britgirlatheart - Please do not hurt me for the next chapter...I actually sobbed my heart out writing it! ... My muse has been truely horrible and deserves shooting!... Please shoot him not me!

Sorry about the short Chapter, you'll understand why.

Word of Warning to ALL of you...

This story is going to get worse... Much, much, worse!

The Poor Temple Family...

Character Death!

This is a very sad story, hopefully events in this story NEVER happen to anyone, and I would Never wish this upon my worst enemy.

Tissues at the ready...


A Week after the accident...

"Nikki came round Abby; she's going to be fine!"

"Danielle came round!"

Connor was sitting chatting to Abby, feelings between them were a mixture of elation and anxiety, rather Connor was rambling on nervously while Abby listened.

A nurse came in. "Mr Temple... Could you come this way please?" Her smile faded all too quickly for Connor to be entirely comfortable. He followed her to the family room away from Abby. As he was going out he met Becker and Jess strolling down the corridor, one arm around each other's waist.

"Actually you might want to hear this too." After a week of seeing them in the corridors, the nurse had grown familiar with Jess and knew that Jess and Becker were probably the next closest relatives that the Temple Family had.

"Take a seat Mr Temple." The nurse waited for Connor to sit down, she had files clutched to her chest, almost as if what she was going to say was paining her, it was times like these that she hated her job. She took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry Mr Temple; extremely sorry."

Connor's heart started to pound against his chest so hard he felt it was trying to break free. She wasn't going to say it. Nicola was fine. Danielle had woken too. They were awake. They couldn't... they couldn't have fallen back into a coma. Maybe it was just one of them...

"Nicola, she, she passed away this afternoon."

Becker felt as if someone had punched him hard in the stomach. He sighed hard and looked down to the ground in disbelief, Jess collapsed next to Connor, covering her mouth, a sob muffled by the action.

"No this can't be right... She spoke to me... She opened her eyes...!"

The nurse shook her head, "We tried very hard to revive her, and-" a tear rolled down the nurse's face.

And in stark contrast to the preceding moments his heart stopped. On either side he heard the others move. How was he going to tell Abby? Their precious, beautiful Nicola. A single tear rolled down his face.

"And...Danni? She's ok... Yeah?" He looked up in hope. 'And' had to be good. It just had to...

The expression on the women's face told him faster than her words ever could.
"No."
"-Mr Temple, she... She followed her sister five minutes later."

"I'm so Very, Very sorry." She gulped and bowed her head in defeat. "If there's anything we can do... any questions you have... We'll be happy to answer them." The nurse turned and left, wiping her own face as she left.

The normally stoic and tough Becker crumpled into a chair beside Connor. He put an arm around Connor, his own grief evident on his face. The three of them sat in silence, words eluding them.

Connor felt Numb!

He couldn't believe it.

This wasn't supposed to happen.

It was the girl's birthdays.

They weren't supposed to die today!

Today of all days!


I would like to thank Lovingthis for her unwavering help with this...

Thank you to all who have reviewed. Sorry If I haven't replied to you all, but this story has become a little depressing and I haven't wanted to write back in my upset state. (Seeing all those wonderful reviews lifts my spirits!)

This story may not be to everyone's liking, but I still like hearing what you thought.

Please review.
