Prologue

*Ten Years Before*

" Um Ryan...I think it's time!"said Evangeline,Tori's mother, she was expecting her second child. Today was her long awaited due date. Evangeline, now 29 was racing to their red Chevy car out front of their small but cozy house found just outside the already bustling city. It was one of those urgent scenes you see on TV where the father is panicked trying to get everything for his wife while she waits in the car doing the breathing exercises she had learned in the classes.

"Ryan you don't need to grab a the whole house! Let's go!" she said wiping her long, wavy auburn hair,that had fell out of her messy bun, out or her eyes. Even though this wasn't their first time doing this it was equally stressful all the same. Ryan the strong, built man that was usally calm composed and had his dark brown hair in a casual like mess was frantically rampaging through the house gathering Evangeline's bag and any other things he 'thought' she would need.

Finally they were off; Racing down the sun lit road with shadows of trees spotting the pavement. Ryan, not really keeping all eyes on the road glanced a look over into the hazel eyes he had fell in love with. Seeing that his wife still breathing and somehow more calm than himself he turned back to the road. Turning on to the main highway into town Evangeline let out a moan,signaling that the baby was on its way. Ryan looked at her sympathetically and said "I love you" as they crossed the intersection. Out of no where there was a loud honk and BOOM! A huge white plumbing van rammed into the parents' car, and into the passenger's side door where Evangeline sat. Ryan heard her let out a yelp in surprise and soon she went limp, sent into a whirl of unconsciousness. In seconds you could hear the ambulance's sirens getting louder and louder coming to the duo's rescue. Ryan the now scared and frantic father wiggled out, just before the paramedics arrived on scene. Rushing to his wife's side he grabbed her hand, "Evangeline? EVANGELINE?" he yelled. He hears a sound almost inaudible, escape from her lips. Questions of "is she OK?" and "What about the baby?' ran through his mind as he rode in the ambulance, sitting right by his wife's side never looking away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scarred and worried Ryan bursts into the ER, an unconscious, Evangeline following close behind, wheeled by the determined paramedics. He runs to a doctor "Evangeline, my Evangeline," he says "she's in labor! We were on our way here! It's all my fault!" said Ryan guiltily running his hand through his hair "Please save her. Save them both?" Tears filled his eyes. The doctor gave him a Thoughtful, understanding look and quickly rushed in the direction of his critical wife.

Ryan was left alone in the waiting room, praying and hoping his wife and baby would survive. Ryan sat there for who knows how long in a daze. He just looked to the floor, everyone hurrying and bustling by, completely oblivious to the tragedy that had just occurred moments ago. He prayed and prayed and then realized he should call his mom, she would want to know, and Ryan need all the support he could get at the moment.

"Grandma I can't wait for my new baby bruder to come home!" Tori, Ryan and Evangeline's daughter, giggled while playing 'big sister' with her dolls. Her Grannie made sure things were ready for her daughter-in-law and her new grandson to come home. 'BRIIING, BRIING!' Tori ran to the phone "Hi daddy," she squealed when she realized who it was, "Is my bruder here yet"

"No sweetie but can I talk to your Grannie please?" he said hoping Tori wouldnt hear the worry and sadness he attempted to hide in his voice. She excited ran to her grandmother in the living room and handed her the phone.

" Yes?" Grannie said. sensing there was something wrong. "Shouldn't he be with Evangeline?" she thought.

"Mom," Ryan said no longer hiding his worry, "there's been an accident." He sniffles as the tragic scene flashed through his mind yet again. "Evangeline is hurt really bad. They haven't told me anything but she didn't look good" His Mother sat there in shock, trying, attempting to rap her mind around the news she had just heard.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ryan's mom rushed through the doors and into her son's arms just as the doctor rounded the corner of the nearly deserted waiting room. "Is she alright?" Ryan said almost a whisper, "What about the baby?"

The doctor had a sympathetic look on his face. "There's good news and the there's bad news." The Doctor said his face, at the moment, neutral. "The good news is well, it's a boy! He is indeed a miracle child!" The doctor said matter-of-factly, a smile now on his face. "Unfortunately, your wife is in critical condition and we don't know how long she has." he said the smile fleeting.

"Can we go see her?" Ryan's mom choked out, squeezing Ryan's hand. With a caring, sympathetic look the docter pointed the two to their loved one's room. Upon entering they both grabbed Evangeline's hand. Ryan's mom began quietly weeping on her side. She had always thought of Evangeline as the daughter she never had. She squeezed Evangeline's hand as if hoping she would return it. Ryan , on the other side, gently holding her other hand mumbled comforting words and apologizing.Ryan rubbed her cheek and gently kissed her on the forehead just as the heart monitor went to a steady beep. Evangeline had died in the hands of her immediate loved ones. With one last look, Ryan and his mother simultaneously walked out. To go look at the baby boy Evangeline left behind.
