Oh god, oh god. Nurses immediately take Jr. away from me. Isaac is still grasping my hand, asking what is happening. "Jr. Is... he's....." I sob, unable to continue. A doctor whispers in his ear and Isaacs face goes pale. "Im so sorry Hazel Grace. " Isaac says simply.

"He's not dead!" I scream. "He can't be dead!"

I hug Jaydan tightly. I am not letting my baby girl die. Not her or her brother.

"Ms. Lancaster? " asks my doctor after 2 hours of trying to keep Augustus Jr. alive.

"Yes" I say numbly. I know his fate.

"Jr. Didn't make it...."

The words i had been praying not to hear.

Augustus, now Augustus Jr. My lover and my son. Both gone.

"Change the name on Jaydans birth certificate" I say.

"To what?" My doctor asks politely.

"Augustine" I say. Augustine is my way to remember Augustus and Jr.
