Wow, you guys hate cliffhangers! Well no need to worry, I am done with school and I have more time to update!

Chapter 10

We were halfway done when the door was kicked in, a gunshot was fired and I heard Sam scream.

I dropped my cup of coffee leaving the glass and coffee all over the floor. I ran to the living area and cold see the scene. It felt like everything was going in slow motion.

The one cop was over by Sam, trying to stop the bleeding coming from her leg.

The other cops were putting handcuffs on Carly and Brad and they were saying things like "You bastard!" or "Why did you set us up, Fucker?" I ignored their comments and went over to where the cop was trying to make Sam stop bleeding.

"I...I...I didn't know that she was standing there, I thought it was one of them!" the cop, I guess who had shot Sam, said.

"We have to get her to a hospital before she bleeds out!" the cop who was looking at Sam said.

"Mommy!"

Shit, I forgot to put Mattie someplace that way she didn't see this.

I walked over to her and picked her up and put her in the room she was to sleep in. I shut the door and I could hear her screaming. It made my heart break.

When I got back to the living area, there were paramedics lifting Sam on a stretcher and leaving the room. I tried to follow them, but a cop stopped me.

"We have to ask you questions," he told me.

"Sure," I said.

"What is you relation to Miss. Puckett?" he asked.

"She is soon to be my wife!" I exclaimed.

After a very long talk with the cop, I loaded the kids in the car to take them to the hospital to be checked out. We got a real nice doctor named Doctor Antony.

"Okay, Mattie we are going to make sure that you are okay and that the bad guys didn't hurt you or your brother," she said to Mattie in a sweet, motherly tone.

I stood in the corner watching the doctor check them. I was literally in pain, waiting to hear anything on Sam.

After a while the doctor said, "Mr. Benson, everything looks okay, no injuries or anything," she told me, writing something on the charts for the kids. She told the kids goodbye, and she left the room.

I went over to Mattie and Jack. Jack was sleeping and Mattie was playing with the hem of her hospital gown.

"Where mommy?" Mattie asked.

"I honestly have no idea." I was honest about that too. The ambulance came before me and I never heard anything. I was scared shitless.

I stayed with the kids for a bit. Then a nurse came in.

"Mr. Benson?" she asked.

"Yeah?" I asked, nervous.

"Come with me," she said. I nodded and told the kids I'd be back in awhile.

I followed the nurse to a room. She stopped me before we went in.

"She is in very critical condition Mr. Benson. We don't know how long she will live," she told me an understanding voice.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"She might die." She put her hand on my back and she went down the hall to a room with a man screaming.

My poor baby
