Death
All the lights went out in the hospital. One of the nurses fell and knocked Elliot to the floor. When the lights came back on a second later Elliot rushed to Zoey's side.
"Back up, sir!" They started working on her. Elliot waited with the others. His palms were sweating and his heart was hurting.
"She has to be fine." Ki Ki said.
"I don't know. She was so still." Elliot said.
"You have to be positive." Renee said.
"Yeah." Corina agreed quickly.
"She is a fighter, Elliot. We have all seen her show her strength." Bridgett said as she placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Doctor! Doctor!" Yelled Ki Ki as she jumped up and down.
"Elliot, will you please come to my office?"
"This doesn't sound good."
"Please come." The girls gave him thumbs up for luck, but he wasn't feeling lucky. Elliot and the doctor went into the main office and sat in the mahogany chairs.
"We worked on her for 15 minutes, but she didn't make it. She bled out and her heart stopped from the stress. We got her back for a second and she called out to you, but before we knew it she passed."
"The babies?" He said without choking on them. He didn't want to break down in front of anyone.
"They both are healthy for being early. We do plan on keeping them for a little bit."
"May we see them?" He was trying hard not to think about his love's death. When he came out of the office he saw the girls waiting impatiently.
"It better be good news." Renee said with a hint of anger. Her hands were on her hips meaning business. She knew if Zoey died that it would affect them.
"The babies are healthy, but they have to stay awhile."
"We already know that!" Renee said louder than usual.
"She dead." He said calmly as tears ran down his cheeks. He watched the girls through his blurry vision. They were so shocked that it shocked him. He could see all their hearts breaking into unfixable chucks.
"No! No! No!" Yelled Ki Ki as she kicked her feet violently.
"This can't be!" Bridgett said as her hands went to her tear streaked cheeks.
"Poor babies!" Corina said in a far away voice.
"I am going to kick the doctors asses!" Renee yelled and looked ready to throw down and Elliot knew she wouldn't lose.
"Calm down. Go with the nurses to see the babies. Be happy around them please. I am going to see Zoey first." They all nodded and slowly walked with the nurses. He followed the doctor a moment later to the delivery room where Zoey was laying. Zoey was cold and getting stiff which freaked him out. Her beautiful eyes were closed. The doctor left them alone.
"Oh, Zoey. I am so sorry." He moved her damp hair from her face. He touched her hand tenderly without saying anything for awhile.
"You were so happy to have these babies. You even had that motherly glow…God!… I miss you already. I hope God had a good reason to take you. I going to see our babies. I will never forget you." He kissed her forehead then left to his babies. He felt awful leaving her alone. When he went to see the babies he noticed the girls left. The babies were sleeping and looked happy which made him finally break down. He slid down the wall crying hard. He was happy that he was alone. He just cried into his arms that were on top of his knees. No matter what her just couldn't stop crying.
