Mary went into the kitchen and picked up the phone. She quickly dialed his phone number and let it ring a couple times.

Mary: (To herself) Come on Matt pick up the phone.

Suddenly she heard a groggy voice at the other end.

Matt: (groggily) Umm hello

Mary: oh good Matt you answered.

Matt: (confused) Mary! What the heck are you calling me at 12:30 in the morning for?

Mary: (W/ tears in her eyes) Matt, Aunt Julie and Uncle Hank are dead.

Matt: (shocked) What! Mary this better not be some sort of sick joke.."

Mary: (Yelling and crying) Matt why can't you believe me! For god sakes Matt, I thought you loved aunt Julie! (Softly) Why do you think I would play some joke like this? If you can't accept it then don't. All I can say is they are dead. If you care enough we are all meeting at Lakewood hospital.

With that Mary Camden hung up the phone, crying. She looked at Erica who had woken up from the yelling.

Mary: (softly) Poor kid. Believe me I feel for you. Now come on were gonna' go see your mommy and daddy. I just wish we could see them alive. She said her voice growing quiet at that last sentence. She walked out to the car and waited for her parents. Soon she saw all the kids, most with tears in their eyes and her parent's going to the car. They soon left to the hospital.

~The hospital~

It was official. The nurse just came and told the grieving family that the news had been confirmed. Julie and Hank were dead. Eric for the first time had tears in his eyes along with the rest of the family. Around 2:00 about an hour of mourning over the loss of his sister and her husband another nurse came out. Just then somebody came bursting through the doors and Mary looked up to see whom it was.

Mary: Matt!

Matt came over to where the rest of the family was sitting. You could defiantly see that Matt had been crying.

Matt: (softly) So she really is...dead?

Eric: (quietly) They both are.

Soon after a nurse came in to where the Camden's were sitting. Her face was all they needed to know there was more bad news. Eric formally stood up and nodded at the nurse.

Nurse: Hello rev. Camden. (She knew him somehow so she knew to call him rev. Just make it work!)

Eric: Hello

Nurse: Listen I was informed that the late Hastings had a daughter, Erica I believe.

Nurse: We would like to put Erica in an orphanage.

A/n: Ok that's the next chapter. How are the Camden's going to react to this news? Thank you for all of the reviews.
