The phone rang. Ephram picked it up groggily out of his sleep. "Hello",
He uttered.
"Ephram this is Nina"
"Hey, what's up?"
"Honey, it's 10:30 and Delia is still here. Do you need for me to keep her overnight?"
"No", said Ephram irritably. "I'll be over to get her in a minute."
"Well I can bring her over you guys have a few of my cookie sheets I need"
"Thanks I'll be at the door"
Ephram walked to the down the stairs muttering to himself "The Great Doctor Brown strikes again" He went to the kitchen to retrieve the cookie sheets for Nina. When he heard the knock on the door. He went to the door prepared to retrieve the sleeping Delia from Nina's arms. As he took Delia he thanked Nina and told her to grab the cookie sheets off the kitchen counter. As he was carrying Delia upstairs the phone rang.
"Could you grab that Nina? My hands are kind of full." Yelled Ephram.
"I got it", yelled Nina.
Ephram wondered who it was probably his dad with his typical excuse about some sick person who was more important than him and Delia. Ephram put Delia down. As he looked at her he noticed just how cute she was, he was also hurting for her. This would be her first of many disappointments from Andy. Ephram went back downstairs to see who was on the phone.
"Who was that?" Ephram asked
"Sit down Ephram." Nina commanded.
Ephram looked at Nina and noticed a few tears in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Ephram asked
"Ephram there has been an accident. It seems your father lost control of the car. He's alive. We'll know more when we get to the hospital. He's there now. We're leaving as soon as I get Sam and you get Delia try not to wake her there is no reason for her to get upset let her sleep."
Ephram stood there frozen he could not believe it. It was like déjà vu he remembered this same scene all to well at his last piano recital last year. Only then it was his mother he was hearing about. Nina hurried out the house to get Sam.
"Ephram. Go" She said to the shocked boy. Ephram hurried upstairs and threw on some shoes and his coat. He grabbed Delia and silently prayed that his dad would be ok. He thought of nothing except getting to his father. He got Delia and they got in Nina's van and headed to the hospital. Why was this happening?
