Andie's POV
What was going on? why couldn't I see my damned kids? I had been pacing the hospital floor for an hour! No emergency doctor has come out with a report yet, what's taking them so damned long?
"Jesus! What the hell is going on?" I cried when the first doctor I saw step out of the trauma 1 room.
The doctor looked at me, quite sadly, which put a stop to my heart.
"Well," he started slowly, "we have some very good news about Delia, she seems to be getting along quite nicely, considering how much damage the car has inflicted on her. She's stabilized, though she's not out of the woods yet."
I sighed with relief. Delia was stabilized; it was the best thing I had heard all night. Now what about Ephram?
"And my son?"
The doctor, who's name tag I had just noticed read Dr. Passly, looked straight in the core of my eyes. I prepared for the worst.
"Your son, Dr. Brown has been taken down for a CAT scan. We have come to suspect that he has a tumor in his brain."
The breath I had been holding completely rushed out of my lungs. It wasn't confirmed, but I knew it in my heart that Ephram did indeed have a brain tumor.
"I see," I whispered as I slowly sat back down in a chair. It was unusually cold and hard, it didn't provide me with the comfort that I had expected it to.
Ephram's POV
Wow, everything seemed so dark and blurry. It was like I was in a dream. Oh Delia! Where was Delia?
"Delia! I want my Delia!" I cried out.
All these doctors surrounded me, I was in a hospital room. My head was throbbing, but i didn't really notice. I wanted to know if my sister was all right.
"Ephram? Ephram dear, it's Dad."
Relief washed over me, but so did a wave of fear. "Dad, where is Delia?" He looked down at his shoes and then back up at me with tears in his eyes. This was not good.
"Ephram, she's stabilized, but she's in a deep coma. She has a lot of head trauma, brain swelling, the whole bit. They don't know if she'll wake up, so far, Ephram, she's not showing any brain activity, I'm so afraid that she might be brain dead."
All the air in my lungs was forced out. Dear God, what had I done? Tears welled up in my eyes, but then something hit me. Why the hell was I here in the hospital bed?
"Dad, what happened? Why am I here also?" I asked slowly.
Dad looked me straight in the eyes this time. "Ephram, you have a brain tumor the size of an egg."
Silence. I couldn't say anything, I was in so much shock.
"Is it cancer?"
"I don't know, son. They operate to see if its benign later tonight. If its benign, your in good hands."
"And if its malignant?"
Dad didn't say anything.
"Dad? What if it's cancer? Answer me!"
"Then son, we'll just have to do everything that we can. Right now we just have to pray and wait."
I swallowed hard. "Dad?"
"Yeah Ephram?"
"I love you."
Delia's POV
It's so dark, why can't I wake up? Where is Daddy and Ephram? I hope he's not mad at me still. Help me get up! I need to see Ephram!
