Chapter 14
Will looked at his wife who was lying on the floor,covered in blood. Jack was still standing at the door,in shock.
"Jack,go get a doctor now!"said Will.
He nodded and hurried out the house.
"Will...?"she asked
"You can't leave me,"he said. "Please..."
She put her hand on his face. He put his hand on her's and was about to cry. He then bent over and took her over and laid her on the bed.
"What happened?"he asked.
But Nicole was silent. She said nothing.
No,he thought. No! You can't leave me. Not now.
"Will?"it was Jack and the doctor. Will knew what that meant. But before he left the room he looked at his wife one more time. Please don't leave me,he thought. I can't take care of this children all by myself.

"First my son,and now my wife,"said Will. "Who would do such a thing."
"Now I know I'm not leaving,"said Jack.
Will went over the door and stopped. He closed his eyes and said nothing. He was in too much pain. He didn't want anything to happen to her. But he was scared. She had left him once and now he thought she was going to leave him again.
At that moment the door opened. Will stood there,not knowing what to do. Please...he thought. Please don't leave me.
"We've done all we can,"said the doctor. "The rest is up to her,"and he left.
Will then went over to the bed. There was a bandage over her left shoulder. Will put his hand on her face. She was still warm.
"Will....?"she asked.
"I'm here...Please don't leave me."
"I can't promise anything Will..."
"I can't take care of all these children by myself. You know that."
But she didn't move or say anything. He felt her hand. She was still warm.
"What happened this morning? Did you see anyone?"
"There was a man...he came in through the window...and shot me...but that's all I can remember."
He kissed her. Whoever did this must still be here,he thought. And they probably wouldn't be too fair. I've got to find whoever did this.
"Where...where is my father?"
He turned his head to to the door,where Jack was still standing. "He's over by the door. Jack?"
Jack slowly moved over to the bed. He was still shocked. He knew that he wouldn't let his daughter die.
"Father?"it was little Will. "What's wrong with mother?"he then slowly walked over the bed. He then peered over at his mother. "She isn't dead...is she?"
"I don't know son." He picked up his son and put him on his lap. "I don't know what's going to happen now."
"I'm not going to die..."said Nicole. "And if I am...you all have to be strong...for me..."
Will then got off his father's lap and move over to his mother. "You aren't going to die mother...right?"
"I don't know William. I'm not sure of anything either."
"Please don't leave..."
She put her hand on his face. "Don't worry about me. I'll try to fight it as long as I can." She then laid her head back on her pillow.
"Jack,do you mind taking my son back to his room? I need to be alone with her for a while."
"No problem at all mate,"and Jack took little Will out of the room.
"How are you feeling?"
"Not any better than I was this morning."
"Will you please not leave me."
"I'll try not to Will..."
"You should be gratefull that your father didn't leave."
"Was he going to?"
"Yes."
"When?"
"Sometime today. That's what he told me earlier this morning before I went to work."
"Maybe it was a good thing I got shot."
"Don't say that."
"Why was he going to leave?"
"He didn't tell me. But he was almost certain that he might not have come back this time."
"Will?"
"Yes love?"
"I'm feeling much better now...especially now that my father hasn't love."
"That's good. Just don't leave me..."
Will looked at his wife who was lying on the floor,covered in blood. Jack was still standing at the door,in shock.
"Jack,go get a doctor now!"said Will.
He nodded and hurried out the house.
"Will...?"she asked
