Me, four Boys and one playstation (an The Fooo Fanfiction)

69. Waiting - Oscar

It had been 5 years since the wedding and Ann giving birth to our children. Since then, she was in a coma. The doctors where doing everything they could to make her comfortable. All these years it was worse than the time we were split. Because I could touch her, I knew she loved me, but she didn't respond when I talked to her. So I stopped visiting her in the hospital. Only once in a while I took the twins to see their mom. A boy and a girl. I had called them Louis and Emily. Louis because of her best friend Lou and Emily after Majas friend from school and because I thought it was the most fitting name for Anns Daughter.

I could see her in both of them. Every day. They looked so much like her and that made it even harder. I managed to raise them and still had the time to be Oscar Enestad, member of the Fooo Conspiracy. Whenever I had to go to the studio, Ally, Maja and Lou took over. Lizzie and Bay had moved out. They were 18 now and it was too much trouble for them. They stayed in Stockholm though. In the beginning I had been worried Ann being in a coma would destroy them completely, but it didn't. So I took care of my kids and the other twins. My friends tried to take as much pressure as they could off of me. And Louis and Emily where very passionate with their dad. I was often being loud and in a bad mood. The only thing keeping me from becoming an alcoholic were my kids and the little spark of hope that Ann would wake up any day. It was important to me that Louis and Emily knew who their mom was so that when she woke up, they didn't see someone else as that person. My friends respected that and told them stories about Ann. The older they got, the more questions they asked about their mother and the more it hurt to not have Ann by my side.

When the Phone rang, I was in the kitchen making pizza. Louis and Emily where playing hide and seek in the living room. Every time Louis found Emily, she screamed he was cheating and they started again. It made me smile. Moments like these were the only ones that still made me smile. When they told silly jokes from kindergarten, I could even laugh.

"Sandy!! Could you please get that?" I screamed because I had my hands full with pizza dough. Lou came running downstairs and answered.

"Hello? This is Lou Sandman? ... Yes he is here. ... no right now he can't. Can I deliver a message?... yes ok I'll tell him."

She hung up and looked at me.

"What's wrong?" I asked on alert immediately.

"That was the hospital... they said you are supposed to get there right now. They wouldn't tell me anything because I'm not family so I'm guessing it's about Ann."

My heart started pounding like crazy. There were two options now either Ann was dead... or she was waking up. It was clear which option I was hoping for. I dropped the dough and while I was washing my hands I screamed: "Louis! Emily! Get dressed we're going to visit mommy!" you can't imagine how fast I had the kids all dressed up and set in the car. With me were Lou and Felix who were as excited as I was. They had contacted all the others and then we headed to the hospital.
