Ch.20
They ran into the hospital, panic and worry written all over their faces. At the front desk, they saw a doctor standing there, talking to the receptionist, when they heard their names. Chris looked up when he heard his two daughters names, when that feeling in his stomach came back.
"Excuse me," Chris said. The doctor turned around.
"Can I help you?" he asked.
"I heard you say my daughter's names, Bianca and Marie Wyatt. Are they ok?" Chris asked, as everyone else just joined them.
"You're the Wyatt family?' he asked. Everyone nodded. "Please, follow me," the doctor said. They followed him to a secluded room, before he introduced himself. "I'm Dr. Hall, I was and am your families doctor," he said.
"Wait, what do you mean by was and am?" Leo asked, scared, before he realized it. "Where's my wife and children?" he asked, becoming even more worried by the second.
"Please, calm down," Dr. Hall started, "now, I had Dr. Clark working on Piper, Melinda, and Melinda Wyatt, as I worked on Bianca and Marie Wyatt." Leo turned around and saw another doctor standing there.
"Mr. Wyatt, can you please come with me," Dr. Clark said. Leo practically ran out of the room with the doctor. They stood in the room next to the one where Chris was. Chris watched as the doctor talked and the next moment, saw him fall to the floor on his knees with tears falling down his cheeks.
"Mr. Wyatt?" Dr. Hall asked, looking at Chris. He slowly turned his head, looking back at the doctor. The pain of losing a loved one already etched across his face.
"Please, tell me they are both alright," Chris said, panic in his voice, hope in his eye. The doctor stood there, trying to find the words to tell him the truth about the two little girls.
Leo, with tears streaming down his face, stood there looking on from the adjoining room. He watched as the doctor started talking. After about a minute, he saw the same reaction in the room he had from them. All 4 people in the room fell to the floor, crying and reaching out for comfort they couldn't get. Out of a car full with five happy and excited people, who wanted nothing more than to live and enjoy life, only two survived. Leo slowly walked into the room, of his only child left and stared at him. Behind all the cuts, bruises, and scars, there was the person that he helped grow up and learn. He helped him through all the tough times and always found the words to say, no matter what. But, now, he didn't know what to do or say. How was he supposed to tell his son that his mother and sister had died?
Chris walked into the room, of his only daughter left. He no longer cried, but now had he tear streaks on his face. They weren't as visible though as the hollow look in his eyes. Everything he tried to do failed him. He tried for the past 6 years to protect them, to not let anything get to them or harm them. But, he failed. His daughter was gone, just like his wife, their mother. He would never again hear her in the morning, when she came to wake him up. He would never see her smile, or hear her laugh, or see that little twinkle in her eye whenever she looked up into the sky at night and stare at the stars, wishing she could go up there and take one for herself. He had gone from a boyfriend with a girlfriend, to a husband with an expecting wife, to a widower of two, to finally a widower f one, with a girlfriend. He, too, couldn't find the words to say, to tell his little girl that her sister, her twin that barely left her side since they were born was gone forever. They wouldn't go to school together, or graduate together from high school, or spend the "sisterly nights" together every Friday and Saturday that they started last year. They thing he wished didn't happen did, and now he didn't know how he was going to deal with all his. He knew though, his little girl was up there with his wife right now, in no pain, with no suffering, and seeing her mommy once again, like she said she did, three years ago. He knew that they together would protect his last daughter for the rest of her life, which he hoped and prayed, would last past his. He sat down in the chair next to her bed, and held her hand, telling Bianca that everything was ok and she could rest and get better, and tried his best to tell her that Marie was now in heaven with their mommy.
