I played with Jason and Ali until Ezra returned with a look on his face that I didn't really like. "We need to go to the hospital." He said.
"Ezra what's going on?" I asked looking from Jason and Ali to Ezra. "Just get some shoes on and I'll go put Jason's seat in the car we have to go I'll tell you why on the way." he said. I nodded before going to get my flip flops on. Jason and Ali were dressed and we were headed out to the car with in minutes. I got Ali in her seat before going over to the other side and getting Jason in. Ezra came out of Wren's house. "I was making sure it was all locked up. Did you lock up our house?" he asked coming over to me. I nodded before asking, "Now can you tell me what the hell is going on?" Ezra's face was sad and I knew that it wasn't good. "Wren. He was walking into the hospital and wasn't paying attention. He was hit by a car and they could only tell me that he was in surgery but it didn't look good at all." Ezra said. I noticed that we weren't headed toward the hospital. "Ezra where are we going?" I asked looking to him once again. "Momma's. We'll drop the kids off there and then we'll head to the hospital they really don't need to be there." he said keeping his eyes on the road. He was right Ali and Jason didn't need to be there.
We pulled up to his mom's house and she was out of the house and running toward the car before I was out of it. "Thanks for watching them while we go to the hospital momma." Ezra said helping her get Ali out of her car seat. "Of course honey." She said lifting Ali up in her arms. I walked around with Jason's hand in mine. She reached for his hand and they headed in the house and Ezra and I got back in the car and headed to the hospital.
We pulled in and Ezra stopped at the entrance. "You go find out where we need to go and I'll meet you there." he said. I nodded before leaning over and kissing him. I got out and run in. I walked quickly up to the nurses station. "I need to know where Wren Kim is." I said looking to the nurse. "Are you Dr. Kim's family?" she asked looking at me. "I'm his neighbor he doesn't have any family but his son, me, and my family." I said. She nodded. Ezra walked in and stood beside me. "Follow me." she said getting up. Ezra and I followed her to the elevators. We stepped into one and she pressed the button. "You said Dr. Kim has a son. Where is he now may I ask?" the nurse said. "He's at my mothers. He was staying with us but when I got the call I knew that he didn't need to be here plus its late." Ezra said. The nurse nodded. The doors opened on the elevator to reveal a extremely busy hall way. "Walk straight until you can't anymore and then make a left. This floors nurses station will be on the right." the nurse said. "Thank you." I said as Ezra and I followed her instructions.
"I'm here for Wren Kim." Ezra said when we walked up to the nurses station. This nurse was short with dark curls that were pulled back in a ponytail. "Are you Ezra Fitz?" the nurse asked. "I am." he said. "I'm afraid Mr. Kim did not make it off the table but before he lost consciousness before surgery he had me write this and told me to give it to you sir. I'm sorry for your loss." she said handing Ezra a piece of paper. I wrapped my arms around Ezra knowing he would need support to a chair.
I got him to a chair and he gave me the paper to read. It was in a quick script but I new that this was Wren's words,
Dear Ezra,
I know I wont make it. Tell Jason I love him. I never told you but when he was born I had put in my will that I wanted you as his god father I hope that you are okay with that. You and Aria will raise him right I know that. You're the best person ever. I'll be watching over you now.
I sat in the chair beside Ezra and re-read the note over and over. "Ezra we need to go ahead and leave baby. Jason needs us and Ali does too." I said placing my hand over his in his lap. He nodded standing. I followed him out to the doors. "Stay here I'll go get the car." he said before running out into the rain. It hadn't been raining when we got here but it was pouring down now. Ezra pulled up in front of me and I quickly got in.
We headed back to Ezra's mom's house, the entire drive silent. When we pulled up we walked up to the door and walked in. A shushing came from the living room. We walked that way and saw that Ali and Jason were asleep on a blanket. "How is he?" Casey asked from the couch. "He didn't make it." Ezra said sitting next to her. "I'm sorry baby." Casey said wrapping her arm around Ezra. "He wrote a note and said that he put in his will that I was Jason's god father." he said looking at Jason. "Well Wren knew that you would take good care of him and would give him everything." Casey said. She looked up to me and smiled before continuing, "He also knew that you would find a great woman that would help you teach Jason right from wrong. You found one and you and I both know that she will help you every step of the way whether you want her to or not." I smiled. Casey was right, I would help Ezra raise Jason no matter what. "I know momma I... its just the shock of it all I guess." he said looking up to me. I walked over and sat beside him. "I know how that feels. When you lose someone its hard and it doesn't get much easier but you have to think about what they would want for you. You know Wren wanted you to be happy and to live your life. He wouldn't want you depressed just because he's gone." I said rubbing my hand up and down his back. "I know." he said smiling at me. "Y'all stay here tonight. Its pouring down and I don't want y'all driving in that. Ezra your room is still set up and I can get the portable cribs out and set up in the spear room." Casey said getting up. "Thank you momma." he said standing. "No problem baby boy. Now come help me set up the cribs." she said.
I stayed seated and watched Ali and Jason sleep while he went to help his mom. Casey walked back in and sat next to me. "How do you feel about now having Ali and Jason?" she asked looking at me. "I've always wanted a son I just didn't think this would be how I got one." I said still watching them. "I know what you mean Ezra probably hasn't told you but he is actually not my son he's David's. During birth Ezra's mother died and even before he was born his mother and David had split and David was seeing me. When she died David and I decided that I would be his mother but when Ezra got older we explained what had happened. Ezra my not be my blood son but he is my son no matter what. You'll stop seeing Jason as your god-son and start seeing him as just your son. Ezra will too with both Ali and Jason." Casey said. "Ezra never told me that story. If I didn't know I would swear up and down that he was your biological son." I said looking at her. She smiled and nodded. "Jason will start calling you momma one day you know." she said. I nodded knowing that that would happen one day. "Alright lets get them to bed." Casey said standing. She picked up Ali and I picked up Jason before following her down the hall and to a bed room. There were two portable cribs set up on either side of the room. "Thank you Casey. Thank you for everything." I said once we laid the kids down. "You're welcome sweetie." she said coming to hug me. The family just got bigger but I didn't know if I was ready for it.
