A/N: In this, Simon never came out in high school, and he's still in the closet in this story. Also, Victor is Simon's kid and is aged down by about ten years. Now, on with the chapter!
Simon woke up to the sound of his son's cry. He made his way over to his crib and picked him up. He cradled his son, Victor, close to his chest. "There, there," Simon said, in a hushed tone. "Daddy's got you."
He bounced the baby while holding the head to avoid injury. Victor started to fall back asleep against his father's chest. Simon wasn't expecting to become a single father right after high school, but he stepped into the role when Becca showed him the positive test. Since Becca was kicked out of her house, they were staying at Simon's family's home until they can afford their own place. If Simon's calculations were correct, they would be able to afford it by the end of July.
Simon put his son back into the crib when he heard his phone ring. He stepped out of the bedroom so he wouldn't wake up Victor. "Is this Simon Spier?" the lady on the other end asked.
"Yes," Simon said.
"This is Allana Parks from Creekwood General Hospital," the woman said. "I saw that you're the first person on Becca Salazar. I have been tasked with informing you that she has been in a car accident. She was just taken into surgery."
"I'm on my way," Simon stated. He then woke up his parents and told them what happened. They said they'll take care of Victor. He slipped on his jacket and grabbed his keys. He ran to his car and climbed in before driving off.
Three hours later, Simon was barely awake as he sat in the hospital waiting room. He was downing his third cup of coffee. He was the only person in the dark waiting room. A doctor walked over to him. "Are you hear for Becca Salazar?" the doctor asked.
"Yes," Simon said, standing up. "How is she?"
"I'm sorry, but she didn't make it," the doctor said sadly. Simon then went into a state of shock. He had just lost the mother of his son. All he managed to hear was some of the things that the doctor said. "We're transferring her to Atlanta morgue, where you can make funeral arrangements."
"Ok," Simon said. "I'm sorry. I need to take a breath of fresh air."
Simon ran outside and began to sob. Becca was the first person he ever felt a connection with. He looked at the night sky. The sky was filled with stars. As he stared at the sky, he made a promise. He was going to be the best father possible for his kid in honor of Becca. He closed his eyes as he remembered the good times he had with Becca. He smiled through the tears. He was going to keep her memory alive and make sure that Victor never forgets that his mother loved him. He then started to drive home, making his new action plan.
