Heart Ache

Although the twins had been fine at the beginning, there now seem to be some complications. Not so much with little Emily but with Elliot. He seemed to be weaker than his 'younger' sister.

At some point it seemed that they would be loosing him. But even with his weak and frail health, he still made an effort to keep on living and pull through.

Molly would sit next to the incubator and press her forehead against the thick glass like wall that separated them and every now and then tears would roll down her cheek. It pained her to see her little boy wrapped with so many wires. She was more terrified of the dreaded beeping sound. It frightened her because when ever it stopped beeping it meant that at any second she could lose her little Elli.

Chase did his best to keep things running at the ranch. By the time he went to the clinic it was already dark. Usually he would find Molly leaning next to the incubator with Emily in her arms, both sleeping soundly. Chase smiled. For him, seeing the three of them sleep was such a beautiful sight and yet…also sad. His heart ache seeing his little man in that ugly box.

He pressed his hand against that disgusting barrier that prevented him from holding his son. He pulled a chair to sit across from Molly, leaning against the incubator and taking one of Molly's hands.

Every night he would do this.

He would softly caress her hand and pray to the Harvest Goddess as a single tear roll down his cheek.

'Please Harvest Goddess…give him the strength he needs to live…'
