Hey guys and gals, we are now on Chapter 14! I can't believe it! Thank you all for the great reviews and I can't wait to read more of them! Just to warn you all, this chapter is very sad and depressing, but it get's better, I promise. I hope you like it and please leave a review with your ideas for the story :) Oh, and there will be a lot of time skipping in this chapter.
(Beginning of Chapter 14)
It was the next day, Sunday afternoon. It was cloudy, and looked like it was about to rain. Christina was at the hospital, as well as all of her sisters. Morgan and the kids were at home, but planned on coming by soon. They all were in Joyce's room.
"Have you decided yet?" Vivian asked.
"Not yet, I mean it's mom! Why do I have to make the decision?" Christina cried.
"You were the closest to her, we all lived on the other side of the country." Amber replied.
"But she loved us all equally! Why don't we all just make the decision?" Christina complained.
"Christina! I know this is hard, but we're all here for you, we will support you no matter what." Lisa said, snapping her younger sister out of her faze.
Christina looked over at her coma-induced mother, she practically looked dead already. She thought about how hard it would be to lose her, but also how hard it would be for her to stay like this.
She thought, that if she pulled the plug, her mother would be able to be with her father, and all their other lost relatives. But she would be gone, gone from the rest of her living relatives. But she kept her on life support, she would probably never wake up, and it would seem as if she's already gone. Christina cried, now knowing what she had to do, she had to pull the plug.
Meanwhile, back at the house, Morgan was in the kitchen, cooking lunch for the kids. He watched through the large window as his children played outside. Emma in her crutches chasing her little sister, Zuri. While Luke and Ravi played in the tree house.
The phone rang, and he jogged over and picked it up out of it's holder. He hit the talk button and said "Hello?"
His smile went away and said "Okay, I'll get the kids and be over right away" as he hung up the phone. He closed his eyes in sadness, and opened them back up as he walked out onto the back deck. He called out to his children, and they came inside. He put their sandwiches in bags, and gave them to the kids as they all got in the car and drove to the hospital.
- Two Hours Later -
Morgan and the kids were already at the hospital, all of them were in Joyce's room. The doctors were all gathered around, preparing to turn off the life support.
"Are you sure?" One of the doctors asked.
Christina and her sisters were all crying, Christina slowly nodded as she held her husbands hand tightly. The kids all had tears in their eyes, none of them wanted their grandma to leave.
The doctors turned off of the machine, causing everyone in the room to hold their breath. Seconds later, they all heard the heart monitor go off, and began sobbing uncontrollably. Joyce was gone. The doctors pulled the sheet over her face, and gave their condolences to the family, and left the room. Christina and her sisters all hugged each other, while Morgan embraced his children in a tight hug, trying to comfort them. All of them cried steadily.
- One Week Later -
Christina, Amber, Lisa, Vivian, Morgan, and the kids all walked into the house. All of them quiet. They had just gotten back from Joyce's funeral. They all had tears in their eyes. Neighbors had sent food baskets and cards, but the family didn't thank them, they were still in shock, they just had Joyce on their brain.
They all changed into their pajamas, not planning on doing anything for the rest of the weekend. Morgan was the only sane one of the bunch. So to try and cheer everyone up, he got the whole family in the living room, and they all watched funny movies. The kids were all laughing by the end of the movies, that was good. But the four sisters barely smiled throughout the movies, they just wanted to go to bed.
- The Next Morning -
Christina, Amber, Lisa, Vivian and Luke were the only ones home. Morgan had taken the other kids to the park, but Luke was feeling a little under the weather, so he didn't go. Christina was in her room, laying in bed. She was only thinking about her mother. She missed her so much. She didn't even bother to go check up on her own son, who was laying in bed, feeling sick. She was beyond depressed.
Amber was in the bathroom, crying her eyes out. Since Luke was home, she tried to be as quiet as ever, not wanting to make Luke feel even worse. She had a soft spot for the kids. Lisa was about to leave with Vivian, both just needed to get out of the house, they planned on going to see more of the city, but they just wanted to leave.
Luke was in his room, silently crying. He lied about feeling sick, he just wanted time to be alone and cry. He missed his grandparents greatly, both were dead. He laid in bed, still in his pajamas, holding Pingo the Polar Bear in his arms.
He heard Lisa and Vivian pull out of the driveway, he felt bad for both of them. They were in denial. About twenty minutes pasted, and suddenly, they all heard the door bell. Amber was already downstairs, and walked over to the front door. She opened it up and screamed...
(End of Chapter 14)
