"What? What happened? Are they okay?" Zoya asked, sitting upright in the bed. Callen was now fully awake too and looked at his wife, wondering what was going on.

"I don't know. I just got the call from the hospital. Your dad and I are going there now."

"Alright. Where are they?"

"Cedars-Sinai."

"Alright. We'll meet you there." Zoya hung up the phone and jumped out of the bed.

"What's going on?" Callen asked.

"That was my mom, David and his family have gotten into an accident. They are in the hospital right now."

"Oh my god, are they okay?"

"I don't know."

Zoya was getting dressed as she spoke.

"I'll come with you," Callen said and he got dressed as well.

After getting dressed they went to the hospital. They went into the ER and found Zoya's parents waiting there.

"What's going on mom? Have you heard something?"

"No, they are still in with the doctors. They won't tell us anything."

"Well at least it's good that they are still in with the doctor I suppose."

About an hour later a doctor walked into the waiting room. "Foster family?" He called.

Ethan, Vera, Zoya and Callen stood up.

"Do you have any news doctor?" Vera asked.

"I'm the doctor who treated the little girl, Maya. We took her for a scan and examined her thoroughly. She has some bruises and a broken wrist, but it's a clean break so we already put a cast around her wrist. She did hit her head so she has a small concussion, but she should be fine."

"What about her parents?" Ethan asked.

"I didn't treat them but they have both been taken up to surgery. You can wait there and I'll tell the doctor you're there."

"What about Maya?" Zoya asked. "Can we see her?"

"She's still asleep right now but yes you can see her. I can take you to her room."

"We'll go stay with Maya," Zoya told her parents. "You go wait for David and Emma."

"Alright," Vera replied.

Vera and Ethan went to the surgical floor as the doctor took Zoya and Callen to Maya's room.

"What is your connection to Maya?" The doctor asked.

"We're her aunt and uncle and I'm her godmother," Zoya answered. "How long till she wakes up doctor?"

"I'm not one hundred percent sure but I think in a few hours."

"Thank you doctor." Zoya and Callen walked into Maya's room and set next to her bed. "I hope David and Emma will be okay today."

"Yeah me too. It's quite a week for your parents, first you and me go missing with our airplane and now David and his family were in a car accident."

"Yeah, not the best week. But we came out okay let's just hope they will too."

About two hours later Maya started to wake up.

"Hey Maya, it's aunt Zoya and uncle Grisha here," Zoya softly spoke as Maya opened her eyes.

"Aunt Zoya?" Maya spoke softly. "What happened?"

"Do you remember what happened sweetie?"

"Mommy, daddy and I were in the car, we were going to the beach. Then suddenly I heard mommy scream something, I don't remember much after that."

"You were in a car accident. You're in the hospital right now. You're gonna be okay sweetie."

"What about mom and dad? Are they okay?"

"The doctor is still taking care of them but they should be fine. The doctor is taking very good care of them."

Maya noticed the cast around her wrist. "What happened to my wrist?"

"You broke it during the accident, but don't worry, the doctor said it will heal nicely."

"My head also hurts."

"Yeah, the doctor said you hit your head. You have a little concussion, but you'll be fine sweetie." Zoya sat down next to Maya on the bed and wrapped her arm around Maya. "It's all gonna be fine sweetie."

They sat there for a while until Zoya noticed a doctor standing in the doorway and he gestured her to come outside.

"I'll be right back Maya," Zoya spoke and gave Maya a soft kiss on her head. Zoya walked outside and closed the door to Maya's room. "What's going on doctor? Do you have an update on her parents?"

"Yeah, unfortunately her mother didn't make it. Her injuries were too severe and she died on the table. I'm sorry."

"Oh no," Zoya gasped and put her hand over her mouth. "What about her dad?"

"He had a rough surgery but he made it through. He's still in critical condition and it's not looking good but we're doing everything we can. Do you want me to tell Maya?"

"No, I will tell her doctor. Thank you."

"Again my condolences and we'll keep you updated on her father's condition."

"Thank you doctor."

The doctor left. Zoya took a deep breath and wiped the tears from her eyes before back into the room.

"Aunt Zoya, is everything okay?" Maya asked as Zoya walked back into the room. "Did they doctor say something about my mom and dad?"

"Yes he did," Zoya spoke as she sat in front of Maya on the bed. "Your mom and dad were both very injured. The doctors took them into surgery to help fix them. Your dad is out of surgery but he's is still very sick. They are keeping him asleep for now and are watching him very closely."

"Is he gonna be okay?"

"I don't know sweetie, but the doctors are taking very good care of him."

"What about mom?"

"Your mom was very badly injured in the accident. The doctors worked very hard on fixing her but she was too badly injured. They couldn't fix her anymore. I'm very sorry Maya but you're mommy has died."

"Mommy is dead?" Maya asked with tears in her eyes.

"Yes she is, I'm sorry sweetie."

"NOOOO!" Maya yelled. "She can't be dead!" Maya jumped out of the bed and wanted to run away. Zoya stopped her and picked her up. "NO! Let go, I want mommy."

"You can't go to mommy Maya." Zoya sat down on the bed with Maya in her arms and tried to calm her down. "It's gonna be okay Maya. I'm here for you. It's gonna be okay Maya."

"I want mommy," Maya sobbed.

"I know sweetie, I know."

Zoya rocked back and forth trying to calm her down. Eventually Maya calmed down.

"Mommy really gone?" Maya asked.

"I'm afraid so sweetie, I'm really sorry."

"Will daddy be okay?"

"I don't know sweetie, he's still very sick but the doctors are taking very good care of him."

"Can you stay here with me aunt Zoya?"

"Of course Maya. Uncle Grisha and me are both here."

Zoya sat down against the headend of the bed with Maya on her lap. A little later Zoya noticed that Maya had fallen asleep again. Zoya sat there with Maya, afraid she would wake up if she moved.

"I'm gonna go get a coffee," Callen spoke softly. "You want anything?"

"No thanks, I'm good."

"Alright, I'll be right back."

Callen gave Zoya a soft kiss before leaving the room. He felt really bad for Maya. Her mother was dead and her father was in critical condition. He couldn't help but think back to his own mother being killed right there on the beach with him building sandcastles next to her. At least he had found his father now. He hoped David would be alright, if not he vowed to himself he wouldn't let Maya end up in foster care, no kid deserved that.

Callen and Zoya stayed there with Maya, keeping her company, trying to get her mind off everything that had happened. Callen had gone down to the gift shop and bought a game for Maya. Zoya sat with Maya as they played the game against Callen.

A few hours later Zoya's parents walk in.

"Hey grandma, grandpa," Maya greeted them. Zoya could see that something was wrong. "Grandma, what's wrong?" Maya asked when she noticed that Vera had been crying.

"Did aunt Zoya tell you about mommy?"

"Yeah, mommy gone," Maya replied with a sad voice.

"Yeah unfortunately mommy is gone."

"Where's daddy grandma?"

"That's why we're here. You grandpa and I were just with your daddy."

"Is daddy okay? Can I see him?"

Vera didn't know how to tell her this. Zoya already knew what had happened by looking at her parents.

"Daddy was very badly injured in the car accident. The doctors worked very hard on him to fix him but it wasn't enough. Daddy had come out of surgery but his brain wasn't working anymore. The doctors tried to fix him but they couldn't. I'm really sorry Maya but daddy died."

"Daddy dead too?" Maya asked, crying already.

"Yes, I'm sorry Maya."

Maya crawled up to Zoya, who hugged her tightly, and she started crying. Zoya couldn't help but cry with her too and Vera and Ethan started crying too. Callen couldn't help but cry too.

"I'm really sorry," Callen spoke to Vera and Ethan.

Zoya couldn't believe it, after everything she and Callen been through now this happened. In one day Zoya had lost her brother and sister-in-law and Maya had lost her parents. They all sat there for a while just crying before the doctor walked in.

"I'm sorry to disturb you all but I have some questions for you," the doctor spoke. "Could I speak to you outside please?"

"Aunt Zoya will be right back Maya, I've just gotta go talk to the doctor."

"I'll keep you company," Callen said.

Zoya, Ethan and Vera went outside to talk to the doctor as Callen stayed with Maya.

"Again, I'm very sorry for your loss," the doctor started. "I know this is a tough time but I'd like to talk to you about organ donation, since Mr. Foster is braindead we can still use his organs if you're okay with that. We didn't find a donor card so it's up to you. I understand if you don't want to do it but it could save a lot of lives if you did. You can think about it but not too long."

"We don't need to think about it. We'll do it," Vera spoke and she looked at her husband. "David would want that."

"Yeah he would. We'll do it doctor," Ethan said.

"Alright, I'll go get the paperwork and there's something more if have to ask you. Is there something who can watch Maya? Technically she's an orphan now so if we don't have a legal guardian she would have to go into the system."

"No, she doesn't need to go into the system. Grisha and I can take her, I'm her godmother," Zoya spoke. "I don't know if my brother and sister had a will but I'm her godmother so I'll take her. I'm sure my husband doesn't have a problem with it. We're not letting her go into foster care."

"Alright, that's fine. But if you do take her in, permanently, you have to get that on paper."

"I will doctor."

"Again, I'm terribly sorry for your loss and I'll be back later with the paperwork from the organ donation."

The doctor left and Zoya and her parents went back into the room.

"Everything okay?" Callen answered.

"Yeah, it's fine. He just wanted to go over some things with us."

"Ah okay."

The doctor came by later with the forms. Vera and Ethan both signed them.

"We'll get started soon, after that you are free to take him home so you can arrange the funerals."

"What are they doing, aunt Zoya?" Maya asked.

"The doctor is gonna take some of daddy's organs and give them to other people so they can get better."

"How?"

"Well, it's called a transplant. The doctors take the organ out of daddy and put it in someone else's body. Don't worry sweetie, he's still gonna be daddy."

"What will they take?"

"Some of daddy's organs like his heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, bowls, anything they can use for someone else. Daddy will make the other people better again. It's a good thing daddy is doing."

"Can I see mommy and daddy?"

"I don't know if that's a good idea sweetie."

"Please aunt Zoya, I wanna see them."

Zoya looked over to the doctor. "Can she go see them?"

"I'll have them cleaned up and have someone come and get you when she can see them."

"Alright thank you."

With the papers in hand the doctor walked out of the room. A little later a nurse came to get them and took them to David and Emma.

"Now Maya, it will just look like mommy and daddy are sleeping but they can't wake up. Are you sure you wanna go see them?"

"Yes aunt Zoya."

"Alright."

Zoya's other brother and her sister had arrived too. Together they went to see David and Emma. Emma's family was here too. One by one they went into the room. Zoya and Callen took Maya inside. Zoya lifted Maya up so she could give David and Emma a kiss on the head.

"Bye mommy, bye daddy, I'll miss you," Maya spoke crying.

Zoya and Callen couldn't help but cry either and they said goodbye as well. Callen and Zoya took Maya back up to her room. After Zoya's and Emma's parents had said goodbye as well they came upstairs to Maya's room. A little later Maya's doctor stepped into the room.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but visiting hours are over so I'm gonna have to ask you to leave," the doctor spoke.

"Can we take Maya home?" Vera asked.

"Unfortunately she has to stay here for the night."

"I not go home?" Maya asked.

"No sorry sweetie, you have to stay here tonight."

"Can aunt Zoya stay with me, please?"

"Given the circumstances she can stay here with you today."

"Thank you doctor," Zoya spoke.

Zoya and Callen stayed as the others went back home, everyone numb of all the things that had happened today.

"Aunt Zoya, could you maybe get Elsa for me? I want her with me, I can't sleep without her."

"Sure, I'll go get her. I'll go get some of your stuff. Uncle Grisha will stay here with you, maybe you can beat uncle Callen in the game again."

Zoya gave Maya a soft kiss on her head. She grabbed the keys from David and Emma's belongings.

"G, can I have the keys?"

"Yeah sure." Callen handed her the keys to the car.

"I'm be right back."

Before going down to the car Zoya went to find David and Emma's doctor.

"Excuse me doctor, I'm Zoya Foster, David's sister."

"Oh yes. Is there something I can do for you?"

"I was just wondering about the accident. Do you know how it happened?"

"I don't know exactly how it happened but according to the report another car hit them. The driver of the other car was DOA."

"Do you know where the accident happened?"

"The ambulance that brought her in is from a firehouse in Wilshire, so I guess it happened around there."

"Alright thanks you doctor."

Zoya went down to the car. She sat in the car but she didn't start it. She just sat there and couple help but feel the tears run over her cheeks. She and Callen had survived a plane crash but now Maya had lost her parents because of a car accident, poor Maya. Zoya would do everything she could to take care of Maya and she knew Callen would too. He wouldn't let Maya end up in foster care, after what he went through in foster care he would never let that happen to a kid. Zoya took a deep breath and wiped the tears from her eyes. She picked up her phone and called LAPD.

"LAPD, Wilshire station, how can I help you?"

"Hello, this is agent Zoya Foster, NCIS. I was wondering if you could help me get some more information about a car accident that occurred earlier today."

"Yeah, do you know where the accident took place?"

"I think on the ten freeway, somewhere before 10am this morning. A family with a young girl, blue BMW."

"Is this a case for the OTA?"

"No, it's personal. The family in the car was my brother and his family."

"Oh I'm sorry. I'll see what I can find and I'll send it to you."

"Thank you."

Zoya hung up and drove to David's house. They lived in Covina. Zoya took the Beverly boulevard towards West Temple street and she went onto Silver lake Boulevard and then onto the Hollywood freeway. A little later this changed into the Santa Ana freeway and then into the San Bernardino freeway. She took exit thirty-seven A and then made a full turn down and underneath the freeway onto North Citrus street. She then took a left onto East Workman Avenue and then right onto South Fircroft Avenue. David and Emma lived here. She parked her car at the house and grabbed some of Maya's stuff before going back to the hospital.

Callen sat on the bed with Maya reading a book to her.

"Uncle Grisha?"

"Yes Maya."

"Now that mommy and daddy are gone, where will I live? Can I still live in my house?"

"I'm afraid not sweetie. I don't know where you will live but I think you'll come with me and Aunt Zoya when you get out of here."

"And school?"

"Well, your aunt Zoya and I live on the other side of LA so I think if you come live with us you have to go to a different school. But don't worry you will make lots of new friends there too."

"I want mommy and daddy," Maya said and she started crying.

"I know sweetie." Callen put the book down and took Maya into his arms. "I know, it's not fair that they are gone. But you still have me and Aunt Zoya and your other aunts and uncles and your grandparents. We'll take care of you, I promise. It's all gonna be okay Maya, I promise."

Callen sat there with Maya on the bed and he noticed she had fallen asleep. Callen sat there afraid to wake her up if he moved. He looked at his watch and wondered where Zoya was. He knew it was about a two hour drive to Covina and back to the hospital but it was almost three hours ago now that she left.
