The folloing day when the guys were at a press conferance me and Andy went shopping. As i had a small baby bump beginning to form i bought a load of maternity clothes. We stopped at a cafe to have some lunch and a sit down.

"Do you know the gender yet?" Andy asked

"Yes, im keeping it a secret from Maurice though" I replied

"Go on" Andy said resting his chin on his hands

"Twins" I announced "Boy and girl"

"This is amazing" Andy said "What you gonna name them"

"I dont know yet, i'll think about it in more depth on the day" I said

Andy lent across the table and hugged me. Once we finished lunch we carried on shopping. I ended up finding a beautiful braclet which i thought Maurice would love. After buying it we realised we should head to the concert venue. When we got there the guys were late for sound check.

"Where are they?" a sound guy asked after talking to the owner of the venue

My stomach began doing flips. I felt like something had happened on the way. Then the phone began ringing, I ran over to answer it.

"Hello" I said

"Rosalind. You need to come. Theres been a car crash, Maurice is seriously injured. We dont know if hes going to make it" Barry almost sobbed down the phone

"Barry calm down, hes going to me okay, its Maurice" I tried to comfort "Where are you?"

Everyone turned around at the sound of Barry and Maurices name.

"The hospital closest to the venue" Barry replied "Just please come quick Robin is a mess, and bring tissues"

With that we hung up. I grabbed Andys hand before pulling him from the venue.

"The concerts off" I shouted to everyone else

We clambered into the first car we chould find before i managed to get it started.

"We are now full on stealing a car and i don't know whats happened" Andy said as i sped off

"Maurice might not make it, theres been a car crash" I explained

"Okay i dont mind stealing a car then" Andy said

When we reached the hospital Barry was sat in the waiting room on his own.

"Where Rob and Mo?" I asked

"Follow me" Barry replied directing us down to the room

Robin was sat resting his head on Maurices chest balling his eyes out. Maurice just laid still in the bed. The only sounds that could be heard were that of the heart monitor machine and Robins crying. I went to the other side of the bed and rested my head on Maurice just next to Robins. I reached out and grabbed Robins hand in comfort.

"Rob its going to be okay" I reassured "Hes Maurice Gibb, he will be okay"

Robin just stood up and came to my side of the bed. I stood up to emrabce him in a tight hug.

"All we need is hope" I said

Robin just cried into my chest as Barry came over.

"What even happened?" I asked

"Maurice was driving. We got t-boned at his side. Robin was sat next to him and i was sat behind Rob so we didnt get injured. Mo fell unconcious on contect" Barry explained "They have operated on him but hes in a coma"

The owner of the venue came running in
informing us someone needed to go onstage. Me and Andy looked to each other, plans clearly sproting in our brains.

"Just call and tell us if theres been any change. We will be back in a few hours" I informed the two brothers before me and Andy ran from the room

We ran back to the venue before going on stage with the band. The band started with Sgt Peppers Lonley Hearts club band so we went along with it.

Andy:

Sgt pepper taught the band to play

Theyve been going in and out of style

The audience seemed to enjoy it as we went into some of the Bee Gees big hits. I did a lovely accoustic version of Massachussets which was jutst me and my guitar. After the concert we ran strait back to the hospital to be with Maurice.

"Ros you should really take things easy" Barry said as as entered panting

"I cant when Maurice might not even see his children" I said

"Plural?" Robin asked

"Yes, im having twins" I replied "A boy and a girl"

"I was hoping it would be two boys so you can call them Maurice and Robin" Robin moaned

"No" me, Barry and Andy chorused

"Im not having a jr in the family" I said "I want original names"

I took a seat next to Barry who let me go to sleep on him. His embrace was warm and welcoming and his shoulder was very comfotable.
