A/N: Um, I hate to tell you, tbonechik8590, but the last chapter WAS NOT about Toby and his family. Emma's last name now is Wilson, not Isaacs! She is married to Todd Wilson. Sorry if that sounded rude, but her husband's name is Todd so it surprised me you thought he was Toby. This chapter has Toby in it though. The last chapter and this chapter takes place in February.
It was Saturday night and Toby Isaacs was at home with his wife, Kendra Isaacs. Their nine year old daughter Lisa and ten year old daughter Summer were watching a movie quietly in their room and their sixteen year old son Chris was at a friend's house.
After he graduated from Degrassi, Toby had moved to Montreal to get away from all the bad memories there and Kendra had moved in with him after she finished up college. It had been a busy week for them and he was glad to just relax. He did go and visit Toronto pretty often though; the last time he was there was for his niece, Alexia's funeral.
"Finally a chance to relax. I've had such a busy week" Kendra said lying in bed. Toby lay down next to her and put his arm around her.
"Me too" He agreed.
"I am looking forward to some peace and quiet. Tell the kids no one is to dare bother me tomorrow" Kendra declared closing her eyes. Suddenly the phone rang. From the shocked and upset look on her husbands face after he picked up the phone, Kendra got out of bed. It was the same look he had when Craig called to tell him Alexia was dead.
"What happened?" Kendra asked as soon as Toby hung up the phone.
"That was Todd. Nicole and Katie are in the hospital. They were in an accident. Cory and Nick didn't make it. Michelle was somewhere else so she's not hurt" Toby explained almost inaudibly.
"I'll call the airport" Kendra said going into the kitchen to find the number for the airport. Toby just sat down, not knowing what to do or say. His best friend's sons were dead. Fifteen minutes later Kendra quickly came back into the room.
"Okay, I just called Chris and told him to come home as soon as possible because this is urgent. I told Lisa and Summer that we were going on a trip tomorrow. I'll explain to them why in the morning. We should pack" Kendra explained.
"I'll pack for you. When are we leaving?" Toby asked.
"Tomorrow at 8:30 in the morning and we arrive in Toronto at 3:45 in the afternoon" Kendra explained sitting down next to Toby as he put his arm around her and held her close so that her head was resting on his shoulders.
"Who is picking us up at the airport?" he asked.
"Spinner said he would. He also offered to let us stay with them" Kendra answered.
"I'll start packing. You need to sleep" Toby said going over to their walk-in closet.
"Mom, Hazel's here to drive me to the hospital" Stacey told her mom before she left. Ellie looked up from her book.
"Tell Emma I said hi and I'll be there in the morning" Ellie said sneezing. She would have gone to the hospital but she was sick. She reached for a phone and dialed a number. It rang a few times and she cursed herself for calling, but he needed to know what happened.
"Hello" The male voice on the other line answered.
"Sean? It's Ellie. There was an accident"
"What?" Sean asked. He sounded worried.
"Don't worry. It wasn't any of our kids, because I am taking good care of them, even though you know, I'm PRACTCALLY A SINGLE MOTHER NOW!" Ellie almost shouted.
"Calm down and tell me what's going on" Sean said seriously, even though he sounded a little annoyed.
"The Wilson kids were in an accident. Nick and Cory didn't survive and Nicole is in a coma."
"That's terrible. If I can I'll go to the funeral"
"You can't not go to the funeral, Sean. You knew these boys when they were born!" Ellie exclaimed, appalled.
"Don't worry Ellie. I'll try my best to get there. My new job is going great right now and I don't know if it would be best to leave after only working here two months"
"You are pathetic. The only things you care about are your work and yourself. I honestly don't know why I put up with you all these years"
"You don't mean that Ellie"
"I'm tired and I am sick. Bye" Ellie said hanging up trying not to cry. All the way in Wasaga, Sean threw the phone down on the floor and put his head in his hands. He wanted to save their marriage, but at the same time he wanted to be as far away from her as he possibly could. He knew what he did was rotten, but she didn't have to treat him badly either.
Darcy pulled her car up in front of Jeanette Evington's house. Emma had told her that Michelle would be there with Jeanette's daughter, Lila. She did not know how she was going to tell a thirteen year old girl her brothers were dead and her older sister was in a coma. She took a deep breath and walked up the front steps to the house and knocked on the door. A girl with strawberry blonde hair and freckles answered the door. Michelle was standing next to her with a puzzled look on her face. Afterall, it's not every day one of your mom's best friends shows up at your friend's house looking for you.
"Darcy, what are you doing here?" Michelle asked, worriedly. Darcy didn't think she should tell Michelle there, so she looked at Michelle's friend.
"Are you Lila?" Darcy asked.
"Answer me" Michelle interjected. The way Darcy was acting scared her. Darcy shook her head.
"Are you Lila?" Darcy repeated.
"Yes. Who's this, Michelle?" Lila asked looking at Michelle.
"She's a friend of my mom's. What is going on?" Michelle asked, starting to get annoyed. Darcy sighed.
"Lila, is your mother home?" Darcy asked.
"Yeah"
"Please tell her that there is a family emergency and I have to take Michelle. Give this paper to her. I wrote my cell phone number on it if she needs to ask me anything." Darcy explained as Michelle walked out with her. Lila said okay and closed the door.
!-----
"Darcy, would you like to finally tell me what is going on or were you planning on waiting another million years?" Michelle asked impatiently as soon as Darcy started the car.
"This is very hard for me to tell you, sweetie. We're going to the hospital. There's been an accident, but your parents are okay"
"What?" Michelle asked in shock.
"Nicole and Nick were driving with Katie and Cory and a drunk driver crashed into them. Nicole is in a coma and Katie has cuts and bruises. I'm so sorry, but the boys didn't survive."
"You can't be serious! This all a joke! An evil hideous despicable joke! It's almost my birthday! That's it! You're taking me to my surprise birthday party!" Michelle exclaimed trying not to cry and trying to believe what she was saying.
"I wish I was. I really really wish I was." Darcy whispered as they drove up to the hospital.
Darcy and Michelle ran into the waiting room of Toronto General Hospital. Emma embraced Michelle into a tight hug as soon as she walked in. The two sobbed as Todd helped them sit down.
"Where's Katie?" Michelle asked sniffling.
"She's in a room. The doctor wants her in bed for the next few days" Todd replied.
"Poor girls" Emma whispered.
"Nicole?" Michelle asked.
"The doctors are sure she will wake up" Emma replied looking down.
A/N: Okay I hope you liked this chapter….i think the next chapter will be the funeral or just more reactions and interactions. So, how evil do you think I am for killing three people in my fanfic off? (Nick, Cory, and Alexia)
