Saving them

4

I could hear a constant beeping.

I slowly opened my eyes to see bright lights and white walls, I as quickly as I could sat up putting my hands on my stomach feeling around until I felt a strong kick, I let out a  sigh.

"Both kids are fine you however are over worked and stressed the doctors said when you wake up to take you home." A voice said making me jump before I looked over and seen Asher looking like shit.

"What happened?" I asked turning to look at him better his hair was short on the sides and had a nice length on the top he had a five o'clock shadow.

"You passed out from stress and lake of sleep. When's that last time you slept? Where's your husband at huh? He's supposed to be taking care of you three." He asked sounding angry that Jackson wasn't with me.

"He passed away 6 months ago." I whisper looking down at my hands not wanting to think about it.

"I'm sorry mom didn't tell me." He said clearing his throat. "The doctor said you can leave when you woke up." I nodded before trying to get off the hospital bed only to letting out a frustrated sigh.

"Alright listen you get any bigger mommy's not gonna be able to move around." I said before feeling a few kick. I was about to try to get down again when I felt a hand on my arm.

I looked up to see Asher in front of me read to help he had a blank look on his face before it broke into a sad look.

"I never meant to hurt you." I said before walking out of the room.

The car ride to his apartment was silent neither of us had said a word the whole way. We were almost to his apartment before either of us said anything.

"Emily and Austin are waiting on us inside but you and I are going to sit down and have a chat and your going to tell me why your here." He said quietly.

I nodded knowing we needed to talk anyway.

When Asher opened the door our ears were met by Emily's voice I couldn't help but smile just hearing her voice was like music to my ears.

"Then my daddy kissed mommy's belly and told the baby that he loved it no matter what the baby was and to be nice too mommy. But that night daddy didn't come home and mommy cried while grandpa Todd held her." Emily said.

My eyes were wide as I realized what she was talking about "I didn't know she was up that night." I whisper as tears started to pour out of my eyes.

"What happened?" Asher asked wanting to know what he was missing.

"She's talking about the night Todd came and told me about Jackson." I said holding in a sob before continuing.

"A car hit Jackson's car on his way home from work and he didn't make it some people standing by tried everything they could to get him out but the car just cought flame before they could get him out. Emily asked for him for weeks until one day she just stopped." I told him unable to move my eyes from my little 4 year old.

"We need to talk." Asher whispered before I looked up at him but he was still watching Emily. He looked down at me seeing I was waiting on him before leading me to a bedroom.

"Talk"
