Zell ruffled the boys blonde hair. "Breakfast ready guys!" Niomie, Zell's wife called. "Woo! Breakfast!" Xander yelled. They sat at the table and began to eat. "Mmm eggs!" Xander's mouth watered. Zell laughed. The phone rang. "I will get it!" Xander smiled and ran to the phone. "Hewo?...Oh hi Uncle Irvine! I'm good...I tied my shoes today! Uh huh! Ya..daddy? yep just a minute." He covered the mouth peice. "Daddy! Uncle Irvinl is on the phone!" Zell stood up and walked to the phone. "Yello? Hey Irvine! Yeah, Xander is getting big!

"Xander hun, daddy has to go away again so he's going to have to give you your present now Ok?" Xander pouted. "I want daddy to stay! He's never home! Why does he have to be a rockstar! All the other kids daddy's don't leave them every week! I want him to stay! " "So do I baby, so do I" Niomie sighed. Zell walked in with a present. "Here ya go little buddy." Zell said handing the boy his present. Xander carefully opened the box. He pulled out a pair of gloves. "Wow! Daddy thier awesome!" Xander grinned and hugged his dad. Zell smiled. He glanced at his watch. "Crap, I have to go" He stood up and kissed Niomie and hugged Xander. "I'll see ya when I get home" He walked out the door.

Zell squinted. A pair of headlights appeard in front of him. "Oh shit!" He yelled and dropped the cell phone. Zell's car collided with the big truck coming at him. Zell's car flipped in the air twice and landed upside down. Everything went black.

"Zell? Zell! What happened! can you hear me!" Niomie yelled in the phone. "mommy whats wrong?" Xander asked. "I don't know hunny" She whispered. She hung up and called Squall. His little girl, Raine picked up. "Hi Raine...can you please get your daddy?" Niomie said quickly. "Hi..Squall? Oh my! Zell was going to his concert and he called me and said that it was raining really hard and he could barely see and then he yelled oh shit and then i heard some crashing and then nothing!" Niomie was beginging to cry. "Yes...Alright...I will thank you" She hung up the phone. "Come on Xander were going to go visit Raine." Niomie said picking up her son. When they got there she ran to Squalls office. "Hey" He walked over to her. "Go play with Raine Xander." Rinoa smiled. Xander nodded and ran to Raine. "I called the medics and they went to find him and they'll bring him here right away if he's hurt Ok?" Squall said comforting her. She sat in a chair. Quistis ran in. "I think they found him!" She excalimed. "What!? Is he hurt?" Niomie asked jumping up. "I'm not sure, the medics just radioed me telling me they found his car...its pretty wrecked they said." Quistis said. "Seifer is with the medics looking...He'll make sure hes Ok" Selphie walked in. "Hi guys..I heard...Quis I put damon in with Raine Xander and Keesha" Quistis nodded. "Lets go to the Infirinary and wait there." Squall suggested. "Rinoa can you watch the kids?" Selphie asked. Rinoa nodded. The rest ran to the infriminary to wait.

"Niomie sit down" Selphie said as she watch Niomie pace back and forth. *BANG* Everyones head moved to see Seifer kicking in the Infirminary door. "MOVE" He yelled. He had Zell In his arms. "Oh my god" Niomie gasped. "Seifer layed him on the bed and the doctor made them leave. Seifer had blood all over his white shirt. He whiped the dripping water off his face and sat beside Niomie. "His car flipped over and he nailed his head on the steering wheel. His seat belt cut his chest all up but it saved his life...Hes unconcious and in pretty bad shape...He collided with an 18 wheeler...He is one lucky son of a bitch" Seifer explained. Niomies eyes filled with tears. "He..He'll be OK right?" She stuttered. "Dunno...I'm no doctor...but I know hes in bad shape..." Quistis walked over to her husband. "You should go get cleaned up" She whispered. Seifer shook his head. "I wanna see how he is first". "Mommy!" Xander ran to his mom. "Hey, your supposed to be with aunt Rinoa." Niomie tried to act happy. "I Had to come down" Rinoa said. Damon ran to Seifer. "Dad, Why is your shirt all..uh...red?" The 7 year old boy asked. Seifer sighed. "Because...I'll tell you later OK" Seifer ruffled his sons short blonde hair. Irvine an in the room. "What happened!?" He asked. "Zell got in an accident" Selphie said hugging Irvine. "What??
