Part 6

Hamilton sat in Jake´s room everyday. Now it´s the day when the twins are coming home.

"Hamilton, they are outside the room, please go and see Ian and Bella?" his mother asked him.
" No, mother. Have a safe trip."
" Hamilton, please reconsider."
" I won´t"
" Are you sure that you don´t want to talk with the psychologist?"
" I´m sure. Now, go now. Say hi from me to the twins!"
" I will." Kate said walking out the room. Kate turned around and saw Hamilton staring at Jacqueline.

~A few days later~

Doctor Philip Johnson was in his office when ms Pratt and the Flemings came in.
" Ms Pratt and mr and mrs Fleming I must talk to you."
" Yes, what is it?" Steven asked.

" Jacqueline´s condition hasn´t improved. We have scanned her head and everything looks fine we don´t know why she´s still in a coma, but we do know that her body can´t handle being in a coma for much longer. You must take a decision very soon."
" You are not killing my daughter, that´s it!" Monica said and then rushed out of the office.
" I´ll go after her." Kate said.

" Mr Fleming, tell ms Pratt I know it´s a hard decision to take, and even harder to explain to Hamilton, but you still need to tell him what we talked about today."
" This will crush his heart. Isn´t it enough that he refuses to see his twins. He will never see them if Jacqueline dies."

" You must talk to him." The doctor said.
" I will" he said reluctant.

The dean went to Jake´s room.

" Son, I need to talk to you!"
" What about!"
" We just spoke to Jacqueline´s doctor!"
" What did he say?"
" It´s not good news. He said her brain is well but her body can´t handle being in a coma for much longer, we must take a decision soon."
" What, he wants her to die. If she dies, I´ll die too."

" Son, you have 2 kids at home you must think about them. "
" Bella says they are fine, you are taking good care of them, you can do so in the future too!"
" What are you saying, are you out of your mine. I won´t let you do this. How can I explain to Ian and Bella when they get bigger when they ask about their parents."

" You´ll come up with something" Hamilton said like he didn´t care at all about the twins.
" I´ll come back tomorrow, hopefully you have thought this through. Ms Pratt is devastated right now, and how am I going to explain to her and your mother what you just said to me?"
" You´ll come up with something!"

"That´s all you can say. I won´t let you be Romeo and Juliet . I´m going home now, to see your twins. I´ll see you tomorrow. I´ll tell you then what Monica has decided" The dean said while he walked out very angry.

Steven Fleming drove his wife and Monica home. He couldn´t tell them the truth about how Hamilton reacted. He lied and said that Hamilton didn´t say anything.
