Raising a Baby.

The accident

Ella's POV
I was on my way to work on a bright sunny day. It was a beautiful day out and I was in a great mood. Gio was on his way to work as well. It was about an hour and a half drive for him to get to work every morning. It took me about an hour.

I finally arrived at my office an hour later and start setting up to get some work done. But before I start work everyday I call Gio to tell him I got to work and to see how he is doing since he still has about a half hour left to drive to work. I get my phone and start calling him, But no answer. This was strange but I didn't think anything of it I just thought maybe he stopped to get something to eat. I just sat in my office quietly started to do my work and waited a few minutes before calling him again.

After 20 minutes I decided to give it a try again and give him a call, and again no answer. I started to get very worried. I didn't know what to think and had no idea why he wouldn't be answering. I kept trying to call him but it kept going straight to voicemail this time. I was very nervous. I thought the worst could have happened. After every hour I would try over and over again to call him, busy still no answer. I tried to stay calm while trying to get work done but neither was happening. I was getting nothing done because I was so fearful of what was happening. As the day went on I tried harder and harder to stay calm. I wanted to think his phone was just dead and it was a busy day so he couldn't get to his phone. I wanted to think that once I got home everything would be ok and I was just overthinking everything. At this point I just wanted to go home. I couldn't get anything done because of the fear and I just wanted to talk to Gio. One the clock hit 4 o clock I sprinted out of the office. I couldn't wait to finally be able to go home. I wanted to see Gio and find out why he wasn't answering me all day. On my way home I tried to call Gio again but still no answer. My blood ran cold. I didn't know what to expect once I got home.

After an hour of driving I pulled down my block to see what looked like 59 cop cars on my block, most of them by my house. I got to my house as quickly as possible. As I finished parking my car a police officer came up to my window with a straight face. I was so worried. Where's Gio? Is he ok? So many thoughts we're running through my head. The officer told me to step out of my car and sit down because he had something to tell me. I was shaking. I didn't know what to think or say.

After a long slow 5 minutes he said to me "Your husband was in an accident this morning on his way to work" and before he finished his sentence I froze. I couldn't move, or think, or feel. I couldn't talk or hear in that moment. I was finally able to focus again and the police officer told me "He didn't make it" I think I might have passed out because I don't know what happened after that. I woke up in a stretcher with people all around me. Apparently I passed out and they had to check the baby to make sure she was ok. All I was thinking was how I was going to have to raise this baby alone. I never thought this would happen to me. We didn't even get a chance to pick out the name or do anything together to prepare for this baby girl. I was still in school and couldn't feel a thing.
