By: Romantic Tragedy
A/N Hey everyone sorry we were at camp and only just got back! Anyway this is two years after the previous Chrismukkah. Enjoy!
"Hey Everyone!" Ryan said as he led in Paige, now 3, and Elliot, now 4. Marissa followed with the newest member of the family, Bridget. She was just over 1 year old. Ryan would awalys remember the day she was born.

"Ryan! Ryan! What's wrong with her! Why isn't she crying! Ryan? Marissa screamed at him.
Ryan's heart was breaking with each second that passed during which he didn't hear his daughter screaming. Doctors were rushing around trying to help her. Marissa was crying but the only thing he was listening for was his daughter's crys. They took Bridget to the NICU and gave Marissa a sedative and sent Ryan to the waiting room to be with his family.
"Ryan! What's wrong?" Kirsten asked when she saw Ryan was pale as a ghost.
"It's a girl but-" His voice broke and he took a deep breath. "But something is wrong. I - I never heard her cry. His tears started to fall as he finished.
"Daddy, what's wrong?" Elliot asked Ryan. Elliot's curious look brokeRyan's heart all over again. Without answering his son he looked at Sandy and Kirsten.
"Can you take the kids? They don't need to be here right now."
"Ryan-" Sandy started but was cut off.
"Please?"
"Okay."
"Thanks" Ryan watched as his and his brother's kidsleft with their grandparents.
"How's Marrissa?" Summer asked once they'd gone.
"They gave her a sedative. You can go see her now if you want." She nodded and left.
"Ryan? Are you okay?" Seth asked tentativly.
"Everything will be fine."
"That's not what I asked."
"She can't die, Seth, she can't. I don't know what I would do without her." The pain in Ryan's eyes was so deep, Seth was speechless.
A half hour later a doctor came out and explained that Bridget had some heat problems that had caused the complications during birth, but they had performed an emergency surgery and they had fixed all problems and she should be fine.

"Ryan! Marissa!" Summer screamed.
"Seth! Summer!" Marissa Screamed. The women embraced as the guys rolled their eyes. Once they had all gone to collegethey rarely saw each other, so when they did, the two girls always screamed. Now they were 27 and lived two miles apart but they still got some sort of pleasure out of it.
Seth and Sandy were now partners at their own law firm. Ryan was now working with Kirsten on all of her houses. Marissa was now a stay at home mom like Summer because their husbands made enough for all of them.
"Ryan, good your here. Take the kids in the back. You, Sandy, and Seth watch them while we set up for Carly's party." Kirsten commanded.
"Okay. Okay. I'm going."
"Ryan! Great! Your here. I was just telling dad that this the year! I mean it's picking up lots of support. I was thinking of selling Yamaclauses on ebay."
"Seth!" Sandy exclained with a smile. "You have your own kids now! Grow up!
"Father! How can you not think that Chrismukkah sweeps the nation this year!"
"You have said that to us every year since we were 17, Seth." Ryan stated.
"Well, this time it's true."
Two hours later the celebration was in full force when the phone rang and Snady went to answer it. He said it was an urgent call that couldn't wait and left for his office. Half an hour later they were ready to sing happy birthday to Carly and Sandy still hadn't come back. So Kirsten went upstairs to his office to get him.
As she walked down the hall she shouted to him. "Sandy? We're about to sing to Carly! Sandy?" After no response she went all the way into the room. "SANDY!"

"Kirsten Cohen?" A doctor asked as he came into the waiting room. Kirsten, Seth, Ryan, Summer, and Marissa all hurried over to him. A neighbor had picked up the kids half an hour ago.
"What's wrong with my husband? Is- is he okay?"
"Your husband suffered a massive heart attack. At the moment we're doing all we can, but he is very weak. I'm sorry to inform you all that he only has between 10 and 16 hours."
Kirsten was squeezing her sons' hands so hard it could have broken their fingers, but they didn't care. They didn't even feel it. Kirsten was sobbing in her boys arms and they held her for what seemed like forever before Seth spoke.
"Does he know?"
"Yes. He's asking for you all. Room 409."
"Thank you."

"Knock, Knock." Summer said as she came in with a smile and her three kids.
"Summer. I guess your here to say goodbye." At this Summer started to cry.
"You were always just like a father to me an- and you were great to the- the kids."
"Summer."
"I'm- I'm going to m-m-miss you." She sobbed. Marissa came in soon after Summer had left. Ryan and Seth followed. Then finally it was Kirsten's turn.
"Hey." She said as she sat down.
"Hey." He replied.
"Please." She begged, looking him in the eyes pleadingly. "Please. You can't leave me. You can't."
"You'll be okay. Be strong. I'll always be watching out for you and I'll always be with you." She nodded as he spoke again. "I love you Kirsten. And I always will."
Three hours later, with his family by his side, Sandy slipped into a coma. Two days later God called him home.
