Chapter 19.
It was two hours later when the doctor came to tell them.
"Everyone," the doctor said. "I'm so sorry. We couldn't save him."
"Jonathan's dead?!" Tracy asked, crying.
"Yes," the doctor said. He left.
"This can't be happening," Edna said. "My little boy is gone."
"Yesterday he was so happy," Wilbur said."And today he's gone."
Tracy cried on Link's shoulder. He held her tight.
Penny and Seaweed went over to see Tracy. Tracy turned around and hugged Penny. Seaweed put his hand on Tracy's shoulder.
"I told him I would always be there for him," Tracy said. "I didn't keep my promise."
"I'm sorry," Link said, trying to soothe his crying wife.
"He was the smartest little boy I know," Penny said. She started crying.
Seaweed hugged her.
Tracy went over to Taylor to see how she was doing. Taylor was crying. Tracy picked her little sister up. Tracy sat down.
"He's gone?" Taylor asked. "My twin brother is gone?"
"I'm sorry, baby girl," Tracy said. "But he is."
Taylor cried. Link came over and sat down beside Tracy. He rubbed Taylor's back. Taylor turned around and hugged Link. Link picked her up and held her tight.
Edna was crying so Tracy walked over to her mother and hugged her.
"Jonathan is an angel now," Tracy said.
"I guess he is," Edna said. "But he always was."
"He sure was, Mama," Tracy said. "He sure was."
