Here's chapter twenty-nine for you, about a week after twenty-eight. I realize chapters are coming slower now then they were before the break/three-month-long-hiatus but that's because I have more schoolwork then I did before. Also, I said there would only be thiry chapters but there will probably be more than that as I decided to break it into smaller bits rather than one huge chunk. So...roughly three more chapters. Maybe more, maybe less.

Lou held his phone tight in his hands, tears combining with sweat on his face as he dialled his home number. The phone began to ring, and Lou was struck with a sudden fear, that she wouldn't be home and he wouldn't get to hear her voice one last time before the end.

"Hello." Nikka answered the phone and Lou gave an internal sigh of relief.

"Hey." He said, keeping his voice low so the others wouldn't hear.

"Aren't you at work?"

"Just on a break and wanted to check up on you and the baby."

She laughed, making his heart pound in his chest. Would she still laugh like that after he was gone?

"We're fine. I just wish you were here to help me pick out a name for our boy. I don't want to decide without you." Her voice cut through his thoughts and his heart stopped pounding and began to ache.

"Me too." He said sincerely, tears sliding down his cheeks and he struggled to keep the emotion out of his voice. "Listen, I've got to go but you know I love you, right?"

"I know. I love you too. See you tonight." She blew a kiss into the phone before hanging up.

Lou lowered the phone from his ear, gripping it tightly as he gathered his whirling thoughts. He didn't want to die but neither did he want two men to go down when only one had to.

"Goodbye, guys." He whispered before shifting the pressure in his left foot.

An instant later and the world was dark.
