Josh and I decided to head back out to the ranch the day after Freddie was born.

After we'd left the hospital, we had gone back to my apartment and did nothing but make love and talk until three in the morning. We woke up the next morning, went out for breakfast, and planned on heading out to the ranch. I had never in my life felt so complete and happy. It was the happiest I'd been since my parents passed away. Being with Josh was beyond amazing.

I called Louis to see if there was anything they needed for Harry or Freddie before they got home. I made a list of a few things, and Josh and I hit H-E-B before heading back to the ranch.

Josh's cell phone died yesterday afternoon. We stopped and bought a charger, so it could charge on the way out to the ranch.

We were just walking out of H-E-B when my cell phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Niall calling.

"Hey, Niall! Have you seen Freddie and Harry today?"

"Yeah, they're both doing wonderful, and I think they might get to go home today. If not, then they'll be heading home tomorrow for sure. "

"Okay, well, I'm heading back to the ranch right now with Josh, so I'll be sure to cook up a few meals. I know Harry asked if I could stay a few extra days to help out, so I probably will. "

"Um, Heather, I need to tell you something. "

"Okay, is everything alright?"

"Is Josh not answering his phone?"

"His battery died yesterday. He just bought a charger, and it's charging right now. Why?"

"Jim has been trying to get a hold of him. They came back a few days early from their trip. "

My heart started pounding. Lynda was back and probably trying to get a hold of Josh.

"Okay..."

"Olivia , Lynda was in a car accident yesterday when she was heading over to Josh's apartment. "

I stopped walking. Oh god, no.

"Is she. "

"She's in the hospital, but she's banged up pretty bad. She's been asking for Josh. "

I looked at Josh. He had been smiling, but now, his smile faded.

"Which hospital?"

"London memorial . "

I handed Josh the phone and started to walk toward my car. I heard him talking to Niall ...and I heard the panic in his voice.

"I'll have Olivia take me over there right now. "

Josh hung up with Niall and walked up to me. "Can you please take me to London memorial? I'll figure out a way to get my truck later. "

"Um, sure. Yes, of course. "

He helped me put the items that I had picked up in my car, and then he jumped in on the driver's side. I walked around and got in. I looked at him, but I didn't even know what to say.

***

The ride over to the hospital was completely silent. It was clear Josh was not going to talk to me.

He looked over at me and gave me a small smile.

"Will you come up with me?"

"Why?"

"I need you with me, Olivia , I'm not sure how bad she is, and I don't know if I should say anything about us. "

"Josh, of course, I'll come up with you, but Niall said she was in bad shape. I don't think now would be the time to tell her you want to break things off. "
