Heya there. I was working my way up to this part. I wanted it to turn out really good, so here we are. I'm sure your gonna hate me for it, but it has to be done. I've been writing it this way forever, even before I started posting. It was inevitable that it turn out this way. Please send all your hate mail to my law-talking guy... (he's imaginary) If you don't think I cried writing this and listening to the Freshmen at the same time you are so mistaken! I bawled my eyes out!
Téa woke up early, the sound of the alarm buzzed irritably in her ear. She lifted her head and looked over at Seto, resting peacefully. How he could block that sickening sound out was beyond her. She set it for the simple reason of today she had to go and pick Cole up from his father's. She shoved the covers off her body and rolled off the bed lazily, clumping to the floor. Her arm rose up and slammed down hard on the snooze. Today was Seto's day off, no wonder he told her that he'd go to the doctors with her. She rose up off the floor and made her way to the bathroom. She cleaned up, taking a quick shower ad got dressed. She dried her hair and ran a brush through the tangles the heated air left. She grabbed her jacket and left the room as quietly as she could, shutting the door. She stopped on the other side, her hand barely off the golden door knob. She opened the door and grabbed her keys off the counter and tried again, with much success she managed to leave the mansion and get in her car, so far so good.
Téa turned the radio on and soft rock seeped out the system. She tapped her fingers on the steering wheel, pausing at the stop light. She only had a few more turns to make before she reached Aki's. She smiled warmly as the sun broke from behind the clouds, filling the area with golden warm light. Téa was happy enough reaching Aki's place. It was better for her to be in out, they had their own life, their own children. Téa decided Cole really needed more attention and Seto gave him that, even if he still had Mokuba to pay attention to as well. She pulled into the driveway and parked the car. Leaving the engine running, Téa got out of the car and ran up to the door, knocking four times rapidly on the door. She folded her arms, it was still chilly, and it was early in the morning. The door opened, revealing a tired looking Aki. He smiled, running his hand over the left side of his face and yawning.
"He's all ready for you." He yawned again, opening the door for her. Téa opened her arms to her little boy and held him; he yawned and rested his head against her shoulders, letting his eyes closed. Téa smoothed down his brownish-blond hair. She loved her little boy so dearly.
"Thanks for taking care of him."
"He's my son, I love him." Her eyes lit at that. Aki may have loved another woman now and she may love Kaiba, but what they shared and would always share for the remainder of their lives would be the love they had for the child they had created together. He bent over and kissed Cole on the crown of his growing locks. The bangs swayed over his eyes as he snuggled closer to his mother. Téa pulled away and left the house. She seated Cole in securely and closed the door behind her. She pulled out of the driveway and took off down the road, Aki watched silently for a moment, something tugged at the corners of his mind but he shrugged it off and went back inside.
Téa shifted back comfortably in her seat, she checked the rearview mirror and watched Cole sucking away lightly on his thumb that had found its way into his mouth. She sighed; if she were pregnant again she would be able to give Cole a little brother or even a sister. She smiled at the thought of having a little girl. She could see Kaiba treating their daughter like a little princess, buying her little dresses and such. He was good to Cole, if not a tad distance. She couldn't blame him for being that way, it was in his nature and well, Cole wasn't even his son, so he was pretty good about all that. She pressed on the gas without looking back on the road.
It was strange how the smallest things could make the biggest outcomes in the world, be it your world or everyone's world. A truck was going its way, Téa's light had never changed green, but she was so wrapped up in thought she just… drove. The Truck horn blared and Téa only had a second to react and that was to look at the on coming truck.
He rose up from his bed, eyes wide and sweat beaded on his forehead and shoulders. He looked down to see her missing from his side. Some terrible feeling shivered down his spin and through his being. He tossed the covers off and pulled his jeans on and a tight tee. He ran towards the door and pulled it open and bounded down the stairs. He made his way to the front of the main door, he opened that door and stared out into the dawn, a chilly wind blew across the area, chilling him to the bone. Mokuba came out of his room and stared down at his big brother. "Seto?" He whispered looking at the back of his brother, who just stood there, staring out into space, eyes narrowed, and his heart rapidly beating in his chest.
Aki looked up from Yukari's hands and his eyes clouded over. "Aki, you okay?" He shook his head and looked at his wife, his daughter seated between them wrapped her arms around Aki's.
"Yeah… I… I don't know." He confessed, looking at her. She pressed her forehead against his and he started breathing heavily, not understanding this feeling that suddenly came over him like a rainstorm.
Sirens blared loudly around the crash side. An officer ran over and opened the smashed in front door. The ambulance stopped behind the car as another drove in. A swarm of people stood behind the yellow police tap, trying to see what had happened. The officer glared at them, though they didn't care or even notice. He waved over the people pulling the table bed over to wreaked car, while the other ambulance attended to the truck-driver. The officer looked down at the unconscious woman; he pressed his fingers to her bloody throat and let out a relief sigh. "She's alive." He yelled to the approaching paramedics.
"Okay Daniel, why don't you get that back door open and we'll pull her out." Daniel nodded and moved behind them as they got to work freeing the woman from the seatbelt and then the car. Daniel gasped.
"Shit! It's a kid." He tried to open the back door but it wouldn't budge. He ripped his hat off his head and wrapped his hand in it and busted open the car window and brushed away the stray glass and reached in, getting the seatbelt off he lifted the toddler out of the car carefully. He held the limp child and checked for a pulse just as another ambulance drove up. "He's not breathing! Medic!" He cried out, laying the child on a clear patch of pavement as firefighters came and began to extinguish the fires on the vehicles and around them. Two more paramedics that arrived came by his side.
"Here, let us." He moved over and watched impatiently as they began their work to revive the still child. He looked over to see the woman getting strapped to the bed table. He hoped for her sake and the child's that he would recover.
"Nothing."
"Try again." Daniel looked back and never the praying type began to do so. He wanted God to be there now, to do what he did best; perform miracles.
She woke in a hospitable bed and she couldn't remember anything. She hurt all over and she looked down to see her wrist bandaged up and a syringe injected in her arm and a clear bag dripping clear liquid. She touched her face to find it taped. A medical tape across the bridge of her nose, one on her cheek and her head bandaged tightly with gauze, suddenly she began to cry, remembering she was bringing Cole home. Where was her son, she began to scream for him. The doors opened with two nurses, staring wide eyed at her. "You gave us a scare there." the older one with curly gray hair announced, putting her hands on her shoulder.
"Where is my son?" Téa wept, holding her hands out.
"Oh." The younger one with course black hair looked over at the other, she looked sadden.
"What! What?" Téa demanded, finding more tears fell from her eyes and down onto her skin and blankets. The younger one came to her and sat on the edge of the bed, the other closed the door behind her as she left. The name tag read Yukino. Yukino took Téa by the hands and rubbed them with her thumbs.
"I'm so sorry, miss. The paramedics tried very hard, they were so good."
"What are you saying?" Her eyes began to close as more tears spilled.
"Your son didn't make it. He'll be sleeping forever now." She said softly and as gently as she could. Téa fell forward, crying loudly and burying her face in Yukino's thigh. Yukino stroked her hair.
"What did I do? What happened!" she sobbed painfully.
